Ahhhhh here we goo!!

YES I'm ready! Yearly FaOI tradition of being up before 6am on a sunday 😆😆 I had missed this

ok I still haven't caught upfrom pag 7-thisand I have to go to bed now, but I still need to drop a short comment before I forget! what I've seen of new prog looks so very cool! costume too! even if I saw it compared to a *cough* another one (that I'd have called a non-costume) LOL but this is cool and shiny somehow too (the pants? seem an upgrade on the golden fake zips on LMEY2.0 ) looks cool in motion and seem to fit the vibe of the program! I still have to wrap my mind around the finale costume, it's...A LOT to take XD victorian Zu with mesh up to his collarbone where are thou??? XD about opening costumes, they vibe to me like 90's-2000s? and yesterday I watched the trailer of the new Barbie movie, and when I saw FaOI op costumes pics I thought: hey, they could fit in that movie! Ken could totally wear those! also, I had a flashback of bb Zu excitedly skating to Somebody to love... So, even if I don't like the style, I have now a giant soft spot for those outfits thank you everyone for posting the updates

I came back after to finally check the news about FaOI and the first thing that gente me in twitter was a pic of the ending...😳 Now Imma catch up with the rest😆 Glad that despite the eartquake everyone atte ding was safe and had a good time🙏

Have fun!!! counting on you and all the other lucky fans in the arena to shower Yuzuru in cheers and love I feel I'll love them so curious to see what they'll perform and how/where on the stage Yass more stream!!!!! Tho Makuhari stop has always been the most reliable broadcasts (albeit delayed)

Idk how, but I had kinda forgotten that, besides more Yuzu skating and new (potential fashion disaster?)costumes, FaOI means also... NEW Yuzu program!!!!! The thought hit me while I was catching up with this thread....AND NOOW I CAN'T WAITTTTT GIMME GIMME

It's that time of the year we camp in skaters' sns scouring for Yuzu crumbs 😆 but Zu now you have socials, you can post a pic or two yourself too😭 some things never change

Happy anniversary to our Planet!!! Whoa so many years already! Went through two olys! What do you mean Yuzu turned pro less than 1 year ago but GIFT happened already 2months ago?(also Disney plz hurry and give us that stream!) how did it happen? what is time??? (and again thank you to the kind soul who back in that April 2017 DMed this then-bbfanyu on that other place, directing me to the temporary chat and then here. Those days were so chaotic and I was a bit lost XD) So kind of Yuzu &Asahi to give us Prologue special on this special day who else watched and melted into a puddle of feels?

It ended🥺 And as usual I'm a wreck, so many emotions😭 really hope Zu is having good time (back to Japsn?) and treating himself good things because he deserves all the happiness and contentment in the world😭😭

They really meant multiple angles, but I didn't think it would be all at once 😅 how to follow them all?

Watching the Prologue special 🥺

I'm Gosh really brings back the memories...and Yuzu is beaming so brightly! always happy to see him like this

happy first post! OUCH but maybe Yuzuru "the cold never bothered me anyway" Hanyu won't mind too much half-unrelated, but I saw someone on twitter resurrecting a clip of side by side stroking of Yuzu and JF in TCC for the Informe Robinson doc and someone was asking for the whole thing... and it occurred to me: I know the original YT full vid was deleted, but do we have it somehwere, at least a subbed Yuzu cut? Or anyone has the Yuzu cut somewhere? I made a search in planet miscellanea&media wiki compilation & in Videos but no "robinson" appears iirc it came out in autumn 2016 or early 2017, right? regardless of JF's more recent slip ups (understatement), Yuzu's words in that doc were so sweet and thoughtful (and those short training scenes at TCC are memorable) (I mean, I might have that vid myself somewhere because, after all, I made an edit of it...but if I have it, it's lost in one of my 364000 archives and they're so messy idk how long I'll take to dig it out if I didn't save it with the title so I was hoping someone else has it at the ready XD) ETA: someone in the replies posted a link t the whole vid, but there used to be an eng sub cut? or not? idk anymore LOL gosh TCC surprise really brings a lot of feels that place (&of course and most important, the people there) has been with Yuzu for most of his senior career

oh my, this gives me Yuzu competition-era flashbacks the having no clue where in the world Yuzu is, till he unexpectedly popped up in some other skater's sns (back when he didn't had his own socials...which he still doesn't uses for this kind stuff argh and LOLsob his instagram is basically covered in cobwebs by now) the feels... somehow without confirmation from him directly, it feels a bit unreal because we're not used to this anymore! in the past months our updates always come from media or him directly, so now a "mere" pic out of nowhere feels somewhat off. Is it real? is it April fool's? XD and definitely too little! I want VIDS and more pics and also plz Yuzu show us old man Pooh san, how is that poor plushie faring after 3 years in the dark? I wonder if it's just a short trip to greet TCC and get back his stuff or he also took part in some other TCC activity, or getting some new choreo in person with David or Jeff... I'd love for him to go sightseeing. in the past Canada for him was all business, but maybe for a change he's allowing himself some leasure time in a place where he can kinda walk in the street without people recognizing him instantly? how's the weather been in Toronto? hopefully, if not Niagara, he at least enjoyed a nice walk in a park or something also, whoa his first trip abroad since Beijing, right?

It was a foundational event for the Planet And indeed, after the promising beginning here, we only got Haku and half a minute of ending...where are all the promised behind the scenes? Yuzu really said veni vidi vici we just got some bits at the beginning, and that was all?? We were mezamashied hard

Where's that "we've been mezamashied" meme? They really be leaving the remaining Yuzu content for last, they know their (desperate for yuzu)audience 😆 Eta: should be in my signature actually, but I can't see it from mobile

Heads up the SOI special started lots of lovely behind the scenes already (and I'm drinking the last Dr Pepper just for the occasion LOL sorry Zu but not gonna buy it anymore😅)

Yeah SOI thread isn't Yuzu-specific, contrary e.g. to gen Yuzu chat, so of course people can discuss and bring things from&about any skater taking part in the show! Of course discussion ends being yuzu-centric anyway because, after all, people visiting this Yuzu forum are...Yuzu fans LOL but the thread is about anything SOI If someone would rather avoid content about this or that other particular skater, please just scroll down, no hard feelings🌸🌸

Oh no 🥺 You have to be patient then, they will be uploaded on here too, but because of the recent troubles with vids, uploading&sharing new content can be delayed compared to how it used to be. the issue is not lack of video, but what and when to share it publicly

Try here, idk if the links are still up

LOL when he's in comp mode, he's in comp mode Somehow felt to me chsq was even more passionate, loved loved loved it! And his stamina? Whoa! He looked maybe a bit more restrained when going into the 4T, probably because it's already the 4th day performing back to back &right after transfer to another location (7th day if performing with just 1 day break), he must have felt tired and he had 5 whole jumping passes including quad combo to make (and we know he always wants to show audiencehis very best), but then he nailed everything beautifully (layout switch included LOL) and chsq was extra intense! all the training for Prologue and GIFT really paid off! They've been showing the rest of SOI Osaka day3 that wasn't broadcasted, they making things hard for us here, the two threads Osaka and Yokohama are mixing a bit 😆

My gosh this POTO was something else

For a moment one of the long ribbons got under his blade while he was knelt, I was worried >_< but then magically flowed away The camerawork was soooooo good my gosh

Everyone WAKE UP they just showed OSAKA DAY 3 HAKUYUZU during intermission 🤯😭😭😭😭😭😭

Speaking of bullet train &co, do you know that magnetic levitation mechanism that allows to achieve the highest speed? Yuzuru's skating always made me think about it, cuz even if he does touch the surface with his blades, often he's so light he seem to float on the ice
