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.

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.

I LOVE that we know right away what second she is talking about. Collective memories.

Rolling down the sleeve. Sorry if already posted.

So, what did we actually read today? An entertaining comedy, erotic literature, a cute children's book, a sports magazine, a guide to exorcism, a cat story? I'm not used to changing reading material several times within a few hours. Oh, there is an illustration to clear up my confusion? I see, it's a book about a very polite young man... Okay. But wait, it's Yuzu! So it has all the chapters in it that I have read so far.... Yuzu book of course. Surprising, beautiful, exciting. Not a single superfluous word. I don't understand it, but I will reread it because it is great.

Apparently, he did a 3F3Lo today. Yess!! This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS].

It's always amazing how clearly you can picture Yuzu from these sketches. Along with some photos, the music, and tweets from viewers, we got a pretty accurate idea of what Yuzu was doing. Fanyus bring in the pieces of the puzzle very quickly. I like that.

You might be right. But no cup or anything else throwing this time, so there must be another reason... Interesting!

Everyone, we have pictures from Kobe Day 1! See the Kobe thread p.15 onwards!

He doesn't wear his bracelets in Raison? @Yuzu_legend thank you! This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS].
