Dear Yuzuru We look forward to Gift, lightheartedly hoping that you will once again surpass yourself. Then the warning spreads, your third autobiography is painful to read. I am so sorry that we could not help you! You were suffering and we knew it. We saw your pain, we felt your disappointments. It must have been so hard for you. You always knew everyone was watching you. You were expected to come in first, then you had to be composed, you answered the incomprehensible with the utmost respect for everyone. You entertained at gala rehearsals, one wished from you to be funny and cute after the actual competition, but you were hurt and we knew it. You dried our tears, you never gave up and showed us professionalism in so many ways. You smiled to comfort us. You encouraged us with your determination. We thought, maybe it's okay. Maybe you were strong enough to bear everything. You were used to the pain. We don't know how, but you got through it without losing your love for figure skating. How is it that you are the one who gives the most thanks? It seems that you are happy again. It's a gift for us. Let's live this year together "in good spirits, just like the bouncing bunnies." We hope the new chapter in your life will lead to a happy Aoi Hono IV.

I had a bit of a shock when I saw the crying emoji in the tweet. But after translating the content, I was redeemed. Now it's not Yuzu, but already the messages from Yuzu's fans that make me cry (youtube channel community). I think it's wonderful how the whole fan community is trying to encourage and reassure Yuzu because we know he always wants to do his best and he is so strict with himself.

Finally he can hear us again, not only read! A whole venue screaming just for him! How I wish to be there and see him happy about that!

(As we discussed some earlier time, I still think that regularly coaching would not be his happy path. So I'm glad he doesn't think about coaching yet. (I mean: Yuzu at the boards, wearing a coat instead of jumping up and down and lip-syncing, not putting a foot on the ice? Really?) Sorry, I don't want to bring back this discussion. ) What I actually wanted to say, is: Am I the only one who finds him particularly attractive in this picture? Edit: typo

Thank you for the good wishes for the new year and for the latest posts with subtitles everyone! I know a bit about playing classical music, and it's interesting to see how Yuzu moves different while listening to / being into the music (without skating). @Hanmgse Congratulations to your 1111th post - this is a good omen for 2023 . @BWOZWaltz Thank you for the translation in the live NHK-Chat! @axelsandwich I didn't know you were a satellite... Thank you so much for all your great translation work! I appreciate it very much!

Olympic Seimei reached 30 million views!

I want to see him SKATE. Happily, handsomely, heavenly skate.

Thank you for your sacrifice! Perhaps you can take it as a sign that you are true to your word. Fortunately, you can mend a lot these days. I wish you much patience and good recovery!

Yuzuru: Okay, see you tomorrow! Secretariat Sendai Rink: Sorry, tomorrow the rink isn't free. Local competition. Y: Great, can I participate? S: But you don't do competitions anymore. Y: Ah, right. If I just sneak in for a few minutes? S: People will recognize your training gear. Y: Hm, then I could - S: No, your costumes are distinctive! Y: I'll wear shirt and trousers. S: Well... then maybe... Y: I only need some ice time. S: But only a few minutes before the competition starts. Y: I'm just going to warm up a bit on the ice. S: And don't think about doing an original Olympic program! Y: Promise. S: And you won't do conspicuous stuff? Y: I'll move as I always do. S: If you don't keep your promises, I will call the media! Y: Well, why not... S: Okay, you won. Y: Of course. Thank you. <PW with 4T, 3A, 3A-3T> S: Hanyu-senshu!! Y: I always keep my promises. S: The media are already calling! Y: Give them my regards. I'm off. S: How are we going to organize the next local competition now? Y: Let me know if you need any help. S: You just let me do my job! It will take hours for everything to get back to normal here. Y: Okay, see you tomorrow! S: Uuh... again? Y: Don't worry. I just need some time on the ice.

Wow. Yuzuru really performs for everyone - for the audience abroad at international tournaments, for Olympic staff, in Tokyo Dome, for domestic Japanese fans, for relatives of a children's competition. I have great respect for his down-to-earthness. He shows no airs and graces, in fact he felt anxious/nervous today. He's going to perform at the Tokyo Dome (did I already mention that?), but today he appeared out of the blue and performed an Olympic program for a couple of people who weren't expecting him (that is what I call winning the lottery!). He encourages these kids, among whom some were probably not even born in 2014 when he won with PW. He skates and performs because he loves to do it. By the way, I like that you can see his breath. He said that he also rehearses the breathing rhythm in the choreography. First time I see it.

I copy and paste this. Switzerland is playing in the World Cup tonight - I don't care. I preferred to watch the birthday video and enjoy the internationality (and once again to cry a lot). Many thanks to the organising team!

Tokyo Dome... Dreaming on a higher level... Imagine Open Practice fancams will be allowed. Imagine Screaming will be allowed. Imagine Pooh rain will be allowed.

from Bangkok

Time to camp in front of the movie theater, right? Although the bloodbath probably takes place mainly online - Knowing that people will be lining up outside cinemas everywhere for a ticket... not to watch a movie.

Happy birthday Yuzuru-san! We Fanyus participated in your roller coaster ride this year and are so happy that our journey is not over. You continue to be the best. I hope you felt that we wanted to ease your disappointment, you feel that we wish to lift away the pressure you carry, and you feel our admiration every time you show us your skating. Thank you for touching me again and again by what you do, what you don't do, and what you are. Yes, you make us feel something – not for seconds, but for weeks and months. DancingFeather, Switzerland ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit: I apologize for the delay! I didn't think about the JST. It would be great if my post can still be added - sorry again! Edit 2: Originally I wrote 185 words - It is tough to be brief when you have a lot to thank.

Maybe it's time to revive this thread. New questions anyone? To add questions: quote the previous list, add by [your name] : then continue the numbering. I will edit the monthly post to add your questions to the list. To answer questions: quote the list and mark your answers, preferably with short comments about your dilemma . Questions of NOVEMBER 2022

Finally, hello again. Thank you, satellites, for keeping the planet alive during the period originally called drought. He will always be our number one. To think that there is not a single soul present at the venues who came for another athlete. No exception, everyone only because of him. Is there any other athlete who can do his job (this is not meant to sound contemptuous, forgive me if it does!) as a one-man show and thousands of people want to watch only him? I still can't believe how much he skated in Prologue. I really enjoy listening to him talk, but his skating tops that. But who am I telling... I mean you just can't beat that: Instead of counting the skaters until his performance, we know: He's next. And when he finishes a performance, there's no time to cry over the sudden end of the spell, because we know: Yuzuru is next. How spoiled we are to stan the GOAT!

Just a personal piece of processing, feel free to skip it. (@Pammi: I wrote this before reading your last post - many similar thoughts about GPF 2019...) I'm miserable. I'm in a hotel room and had to go get tissues in the car that were meant to last the entire vacation. But after three hours of continuous crying while reading the chat, I've never seen my eyes so puffy. Thank you to everyone who posted their thoughts along with the news over the past 24 hours. Thank you so much for the virtual hand-holds and hugs. I admire those who are already so positive and relieved with the new fact. After a while, I think I can share your views. Right now, I'm lost. I will cancel my hotel in Turin tomorrow. It should have been the crowning glory of a special year for me. Will I never meet other satellites in an arena now? What will I do with the Winnie the Pooh that was sent to Stockholm and back by parcel post? And the other, small one that traveled with me through Paris, wasn't I going to hang it on my bag when I made my pilgrimage back to Palavela? Did I witness the greatest Pooh rain of all time, yet without throwing one on the ice myself? GPF 2019, my once-in-a-lifetime chance to see Yuzuru. The 4Lutz, the glitter of Origin 2.0, Swanyu's Biellmann, the spins with the gold ribbon... And now? No more costume from Satomi for Yuzuru's beautiful body lines? The mottos on the UA collar, the cool down routines, the tweets with minutes during the OP.... Can we consider runthrough Otoñal at Skate Canada 2019 as the 20th world record? When he spoke in some interviews of nervousness that was not visible to him before and during the skate.... Instead, we felt only those of the audience, who held their breath, clasped their hands, screamed. And now we are never to experience LMEY with audience screaming? No Rondo world record? It's all been said - the getting up in the middle of the night, the battle for tickets, the unhealthily high blood pressure level for two and a half / four minutes, the anger over unfair scoring.... Thanks to everyone here who did and felt the same and confirmed to me that we were allowed to accompany a phenomenon of the century! I'm sorry, Yuzuru, but I can't help the sadness, even if you made the right decision. I admire you once again for the way you stood in front of the media and the world and found the right words. At the very beginning, when I started reading in this community, I stumbled upon the sentence "Life as a fanyu is a roller coaster". I thought it was funny and very soon realized how true that statement was. To this day I have not ridden a roller coaster, somehow I never needed that adrenaline rush. I know it's not the end, but it feels like the roller coaster ride with Yuzuru has come to a stop and I've landed on the hard ground. I think, from this day on, I will never ever do a roller coaster ride in real life. It's nothing compared to all the emotions I owe Yuzuru through the last three and a half years. I love you, Yuzuru. Miss you so much. And - sorry - thank you from the bottem of my heart.

Chinese Fanyus

Rather estivate... (I just learned a new English word )

And after tomorrow.... I'm not ready to enter the wait-for-white-wall-phase. It's so ice-less. I miss you already, Hanyu Yuzuru.

Putting on his T-shirt in the Rink??

Me too! And he was happy there in the Kiss&Cry. It was such a time...

This one. Don't worry, you will remember each of THOSE moments you saw and dicuss "live"... It was the run through that should have been a world record.
