These last months I've been hunting down MADs on youtube but it seems I've missed a few (gorgeous) ones, so thanks for posting them I don't think these have been shared yet, a couple of sweet fanvids: Pure Wizardry: Yuzuru Hanyu 羽生結弦 by Henni147 Yuzuru hanyu[everything in the world] by vic ZHANG (the ending ) And a couple more energetic: Hanyu Yuzuru【MAD】Any Other Way by Abby Zhang (Yuzu's fighting spirit) 【MAD】羽生結弦 YUZU Will Rock You by ゆづマミ This one is sooooo short, it's such a pity it ends too soon Yuzuru Hanyu Hello by Sunmoon

Actually I agree with you about Yuzuru being more in character at GPF2015. I think NHK was technically better, more controlled, and of course it was the original record-shattering one, but I feel he was more focused on "performing" in Barcelona. He was in "hostile" arena, after Javi (and everyone else) had skated very well, and there was huge expectation, but Yuzuru captivated everyone and forced them to applaud and scream and go wild. I remember the British Esp guys said something like "it is all about the performance" when he was still midway in the program. He was more fierce and commanding than ever, from start to finish and even after (And I loved the camerawork, even the recap was amazing)

Thank youuuu!
-
Sorry Where can I find this that interview? I'm dying to see it
-
that 3F is a thing of beauty (but I could survive, if Yuzu won't r*****e) Are there any real chances that he would change his 3A-combos? If he goes for the 4Lz, will the 3Lz stay as well?

I'm still very new to FS, and ice dancing even more, but out of the few ID pairs I've seen P/C are those who really impressed me. What stood out the most to me is how light and delicate they are, how the flow they create embraces them both so they are a whole even without touching. The interview is very interesting and I like their challenging attitude . I confess I've watched maybe only 3 programs of P/C Actually I'm refraining from start digging for more because I'm already stressed out enough following Yuzuru, I'd like to be able to root for P/C in a more relaxed way -
Yes he commented briefly about that in GPF 2014
-
I confess I got a bit teary reading the full articleIt has been a long and complex season, and Yuzu managed not only to regain his title but also to grow even more as a skater and a person (spending hours to chose the emoticons ) (Anyone knows if there is a "proud mama" smiley somewhere among the 30000000000 billions we have? or "proud sister", even "proud papa" would do) yep I repeat: you're all awsome! I'm still mushroom working hard to get better
-
Congrats! Yuo're the record breaker here! You learned from the best Also, it is only me ore the number of keeps growing? I'll spend hours only to chose one before posting! Thanks to all the staff for the awsome job
-
Oh yes, Thomas Bergsen & co (I also love this one). Beautiful (non-warhorse) epic music, it can easily catch even the most distracted listener (or judge ). What are the chances such pieces could have been really submitted to/already known to Yuzu? It would be funny if he stumbled in his fanvideos, like the one you linked (by the way I discovered that particular song thanks to that video ) or even this one

Landings, mechanics, etc of FS jumps

Just looking at that photo I can feel the strain Thank you Fresca you for your explanations, they are enlightening I'm learning what is good technique and why it is so important...and why bad one should be pointed out. Too bad skaters' health does't seem to worry ISU (and certain coaches, I may add) that much . The physics of jumps is so interesting, it's amazing to learn how every movement can lead to a certain result -
Nice musics! There are so many epic soundtracks out there, I think even would work well, I can picture hydroblade or inabauer around 2.28. Though I'm trying to imagine what kind of costume he could wear... :crazy: :rofl2:

Spread eagles still count as transition/steps, I think? Though I never see them applied to a solo quad jump except by, well, Yuzu. Usually they're getting attached to the 3As (Shoma, Nathan, Yuzu back in Chopin 1.0). What I mean is that this new definition "2) clear recognizable (creative, interesting, original for jump preceded by steps/movements of the Short Program) steps/free skating movements immediately preceding element" can be very very subjective, more than the "difficult steps" I think? I have no idea, this is why I'm asking. :s_dunno A judge may decide he has had enough of spread-eagles-before-jump from yuzuru. I really hate that GOE points can be bended and twisted so much so to justify even the craziest scores... :hammer:
-
I wonder if the spread eagle can be still counted as "creative, interesting, original" given how overused it's becoming of late :s_scratchhead Poor Yuzu. Maybe we won't see the spread eagle sandwich next season?

I am sure that you meant no disrespect or offense, but the word or abbreviation "Jap" is considered derogatory and a racial slur amongst Japanese, particularly the Japanese minority living in North America. It was said with a lot of hatred before and during World War II and this negative connotation continued affterwards whenever it was used. Therefore, I would ask that people not use the abbreviation "Jap". It doesn't take that much more effort to spell the word "Japanese". (off topic) I didn't know about this either, thank you for pointing out the issue. It is hard not to slip in "mistakes" in particular if english is not one's first language and it comes to slang or words with a peculiar historical background. I knew only small bites about segregation of japanese people during world war II in USA, but let's say that in my country history classes focuses on Europe much more So I'm glad that from now on I have one less chance to sound inadvertently rude. :yes: (back on topic...kind of) I feel you :sadPooh: Where I live soccer is by far the most popular sport :cry: but I manage to warm into something resembling a supporter only when the national team is playing some big match like semifinals or finals :smile: Still not even close to the level of crazed giggling, jumping and screaming I produce when I'm watching Yuzuru's performances (and I haven't even watched them live...) :sadPooh: :sadPooh: :sadPooh: That's the effect Yuzuru has on people :bow:

The Tetsuya Kumakawa part is very interesting. It's a pity that Takahashi seems not quite followed up his description. I wonder if Yuzu can appreciate it more, because he certainly learned a lot from the talking with Nomura Mansai. Well Yuzuru is as good at understanding the theory behind figure skating as at skating itself :goe: His analyses are always a pleasure to read, they are deep and accurate. More so he is very eager to learn more about sport in general. I recall that conversation he had with the gymnast Kenzo Shirai about jumps :smile: :bow: (Also: 25 posts yessss! :yay: ) -
I guess they are this this and these I don't remeber if there was something else :s_scratchhead

Who is your favorite female skater?
EisElle replied to yuzuangel's topic in Knickknacks: General Skating Chat
I had to chose Yuna because: 1-she was the first who made me search for FS programs on youtube 2-her folder on my pc is the biggest one after Yuzuru's (but Yuzuru's is just huge :smile:) 3-thanks to her I decided to check how the Sochi OGMs were faring these days, and this is how I discovered Yuzuru :yes: Her jumps! Her flow! Her fire! Her fire in her El Tango De Roxanne is what has sold me, it was love at first sight :love: The first lady I liked was Irina Slutskaya. I watched Turin 2006 as a total newbie in FS and she was the one who made the deepest impression among the women: the russian lady in red (also Arakawa's layback InaBauer). I also like Carolina, how soft she is in her gliding and her upper body movements too. I still have to find that kind of special sparkle with the new generation. Hopefully I will be able to watch the ladies without biting my nails. :acceptable: -
I voted only four because I couldn't make up my mind for the fifth I chose Etude because BluFlames is unforgettable, POTO2 because it makes Yuzuru look...sexy, more grown up then his previous outfits :drool:, LGC purple because the song is extra, the program is extra and that costume is so extra, too :devil: Wait, I can't remember the fourth EDIT how could I forget Chopin??? I love both versions, but I picked Chopin 1 because I just love all that soft soft flowing quality (his sleeves! :love: ) The fifth spot for me is for Seimei-Hana ni nare(the sleeves!)-Notte Stellata-H&L-POTO1-RJ1. I like the asymmetric sleeves of his NDP costume a lot too (maybe I have a thing for sleeves? :s_scratchhead ). Even if some costume make me :omg: they are always beautifully suited to the programs Yuzuru skates, they are part of his aesthetics, so I can't really hate them. :space:

Yes!!! :goe: He can go for a warhorse without being mainstream :smile: It would be an interesting experiment. Though I don't think the judges would appreciate that much another R&J from him... It's my dream! :cry: :cry: :cry: I love it so much! It wouldn't be the first time btw I'd gladly accept almost any classical piece, to be honest. Well, that was the year of Lambiel's Four season, no surprise young Yuzu skated to that music. And he managed to pull it off quite well :acceptable: Honestly I am glad he won't (likely) skate to that music, it has been already used quite a lot by top male skaters in the past olympics I'd prefer something a little more unique.

There is also another musical version in 2007, "Giulietta e Romeo" from the same authors of Notre Dame de Paris :smile: Personally I prefer it to the French RJ musical. I watched it live, some songs still make me teary when I listen to them. Sadly this musical wasn't a big hit as NotreDame, so it isn't known at all. I don't think it has ever been translated into other languages. Here are some of my favorite pieces (all in italian, sorry): the intro sung by Mercutio, who plays the narrator the epic fight me and my sister used to duet on this one, we played Benvolio/Tybalt,it was so fun!this one is very romantic (again, sung by Mercutio) it is about love at first sight and how after that sight and thought aren't enough and you need to hear the voice, and touch...more fights and drama! (Mercutio dies :cry:) very lyrical song from banished Romeo more drama!!! Heartache! Romeo dies (usually I played Romeo and my sister Juliet, don't ask me why... she always kind of bullied me, being the older one :smile: ) No dagger scene in this musical, Juliet dies from heartbreak It would be a nice change :lol:

Landings, mechanics, etc of FS jumps

Lol we don't talk of Shoma's landings here.. or it'll turn into pages and pages of analysis and gifs/videos :rofl2: Nathan's and Boyang's jumps have room for improvement but it's entirely different for Shoma (as in, he doesn't just 'wobble'; it's much worse than that lol). Tbf his body type might be at a disadvantage compared to other jumpers in the field, but it is what it is and doesn't change the fact that he has rather poor techniques on his jumps On the other side, I think his body type may help him to save his landings too, as he has a low barycenter and that "soft knee" that allows him to jerk his body in position after the landing. I've heard/read something about this somewhere. Is having long limbs (like Yuzu or Boyang, who has grown quite tall) an advantage when jumping? I think it requires more control and awareness, so I wouldn't say Shoma's is much at disadvantage, apart from the ability to spin fast. His legs looks very strong, very muscular, so that should grant him a lot of "power" for his jumps. Correct me if I am wrong, I'm still a newbie here :yes: -
Hi and welcome!!! I like Nightwish too. There are several songs which have that "dramatic flare" which suits FS, I think, and there are also some instrumental covers of Sia's songs (e.g. with cello and piano) that are just :love: Too bad in Olympic season the trend is to go for warhorses... Then again, if that is what Yuzu needs to please the judges... :rant: :acceptable: I believe he will own every music he'll choose, he is simply that good :bow:
-
Whenever I watched that documentary I felt so sad because he had lost his chance again and in such an awful way. :cry: But now he has the title back, and that plaque to remind him of his achievement. A bit of daily encouragement whenever he feels down, I hope. :pbow: :pbow: :pbow: That photo makes me smile like a proud older sister :yay:
-
It's a wonderful program, so full of energy, and young Yuzu was so committed to the music :love: It had a sparkle of that rockstar attitude he would show later on.
