OMG

Wow

My gosh

One of those programs that has me in mystical silence from start go end

There's that little sequence,about halfway,of notes one after the other punctuated by arms movements and it's so simple yet so powerful? So emotional?

In FS, I'm always been firmly in the camp of "look at the feet!" when evaluing a program but gosh if a well done upper body choreo doesn'tleave is mark! (And anyway there's also plenty of blade choreo in Danny Boy😁). Really really love DB

Gosh was the camerawork always so good? I have not one complaint 

My fave ending! That InaBauer with those lovely, lovely moves to enrich it killed me softly 

Oh no freezing for a moment...and back! The greetings are always so bittersweet, why must it come to end?🥺 I miss Yuzu already! Yes, despite nothing one but two streams today! Even if I must still watch RE_PRAY Yokohama day1 and tomorrow starts the archive viewing for Miyagi🥺 I want more🥺

Various long-winded babbling as I watch

Rika H was always quite a good performer (her Riverdance is famous for a reason), in this program she shows her softness, imo also better than when she competed, less tension in her upper body

I quite like Keiji's program, had some good choreo accents too to match the music, tho at times felt like the music was carrying the performance (not the very last bit but the leading part to it I would have liked more energy)

Violetta is such a charming performer! like Shae in Waka Waka, she really comes through as really enjoying what she does, so she pulls you in

Jason! There's little to say, we know his skills😁 tho I confess for me he is like Patrick Chan, as in, I love their qualities but not my fave (Yuzu aside who us in his own league for me, they don't naturally draw me in as Roman S. or Jun), still lovely to watch. It's a pleasure to see him🥰

Satton with Voilà🥺 she's so sensitive to music and gives nuance to every program

Tbh when this song was competing for Eurovision I was shamelessly rooting for Ukrainian Shum, and being also patriotic a d rooting Maneskin, so I was in no disposition to appreciate the Voilà, but it is a very beautiful song, and certainly good structure for a skating program

Javi doing something he is very good at, a charming character, a bit tongue-in-cheek. You certainly need to have the skill to pull it off convincingly

AHHHHHH CARMINA BURANAAAA

It feels too soon! I wasn't ready!!

Yuzu always good at contrasting soft vs strong, gentle flow vs dramatic sharpness and shows it here. Omg that beatific smile during the 1st half? Really looks like he's in another world of his own. I wonder if this is why I find his way of performing so entrancing and believable? Looking up, or to the ice, closing his eyes,smiling to himself....it often feels like his skating is something private, not something designed for the eyes of thousands of people, yet of course those programs *are* designed for the audience they will be performed for. Yuzuru doesn't need to "meet" the audience gaze all the times to draw them in, on the contrary, looking at things in his own mind he makes everything feel more true

Oh gosh I love this so much!

I didn't remember the camerawork being so good???? Yet I already watched the program? What is it with all Yuzu things that I see to discover them anew even when I have watched them many times already? Is it because I lose myself in the performance everytime?

Ahhhhh this was so good

AHHHH Yuzu dancing on screen🥰🥰

Quite the whiplash after Carmina Burana high drama😆

Jeez he's so soft and cute

Also, idk how he looks so tiny a d pocket-size there, but then you see the behind the scenes and he has those tights 😲

I love Violetta x2

I love Satton too! Yet, at the end of this particular program here, I do *feel* that the emotion, however wonderfully portrayed, is a performance. Idk when watching Yuzu going to the final pose of NS, or HYK, Requiem, Danny Boy...it feelslikehe was entranced too, not only me watching him,as if he, like me, is waking up from the mystical world the program belonged to and coming back to the present.

Idk,I can't explain coherently 

Beautiful Akiko she is one of those skaters that I always like watching, still thanking FaOI for making me discover her

My stream gives slight signs of wanting to freeze, Zu approaching

Yep it's now freezing on Mao's musical number, sigh

I wish my stream had actually loaded for the special (sigh) but at least it's working for the full stream! Yay! NS is mesmerising. I have already watched the program when first streamed but my gosh feels like I never did?so breathtaking on fresh ice, my eyes were glued to his blades and the ice tracing, it's so beautiful 🥺 also, his arms were killing me

Now the opening

I love the ending morebut the opening is so good too! The music and the choreo! And skaters understood the assignment. NS had such a wholesome, caring mood,unlike any other show (or non-Yuzu show, CiONTU had gorgeous group choreo too)

Oh it froze for a while, glad it resisted till Zu was skating😆

Ahhhh swanyu back on stage (idk why I'm even so surprised, it's not like I've never watched NS or didn't know at the end of the opening he holds a speech...idk it's just swanyu sudden presence still surprised me🙈)

The moment he sprayed the camera, or rather buried it😅 I was worried for that poor camera, I guess someone went and cleaned it up😆

he was extra aggressive in Megalovania today, to the point I worried if he wouldn't be too spent for Dark Messenger...I shouldn't have worried! He really must have trained extra hard! So glad that hay fever didn't hinder his hard-earned stamina here

Ok NO special announcement 😆 just saying he hopes one day to see us again😁😁 

He heard our voices... so he really should give us another show, another story🥰🥰🥰 (not verbatim)

"The end ist just the start of a new beginning"👏👏👏

My smile us stretched so wide it's hurting my face😆😆

THANK YOU YUZU!!!! see you next time!

Dancing on the greetings song! He's so extra!

(There's more skating here than in some entire competition skates)

Omg now it's the scary type of winded, plz Zu take a breath!

He's so moved🥺

Roncapu! Clapping g at my screen! So good! Yuzu happy! I'm happy! Yes, people screaming because that's what he deserves, all that love!!!!!!

ahah he had said he wouldn't sing but he did! (IMO better too😜)

SEIMEI!!!!! did even a bit more of choreo before the spin!  So good! People screaming! Me too! And he doesn't breath as hard as the other time, normal winded, not scarily winded! I'm glad!!!

Uh he really shook his ass. Like, really.

Yasss clean!!!!! And he has such a big smile!!! So 😎😎😎😎😁😁😁 omg I'm loving this

Camerawork too!! That choreo RIGHT into camera!

Omg so good!

ETA: LOL he's kinda wiped now😆 but not in a worrying way

LMAO Trollzuru is in the house! Playing with audience

Said we're all beautiful today🥺❤

Awwww he thanked me!!!! Thank you Yuzu!

He mentioned the rain and that due to recent earthquake some live viewing weren't possible 

Awww thanked all the people who came, from abroad too

LOL he's so playful 

Awww he heard people came from 30 countries 

Trying to think of all the languages he can say thank you😅 and he's gonna study more afterwards😂

He said GRAZIE!!!!🥺🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Thank you italian fans for representing me!!

Thanking all the staff and collaborators! And he's really super cute and upbeat about it!😍🥰🥰🥰

🥺🥺😭😭

And Ending credits!!! Estopolis lunge and spin in A Fleeting Dream costume have my whole heart 

Still waiting for him to upload the whole thing

Awwww Yuzu in black tee

Noooo wait I had forgotten this was the last last show😭😭

Already (or still) sweating when entering the rink for HYK🥺

How can his arms be fo soft and his feet so light?

Hydroblade killed me, those hand gestures

HYK killed me and revived me, it's so...luminous?

One Summer's day

Beautifully soft

Bit of costume malfunction, the back gradually opened😅 like Ballade costume in 6min warmup in Boston... I was worrying it would distract him but looks like I was the only one being distracted🙈

He did a bit of different choreo on the spin when he takes the stripes up

Requiem in Miyagi😭😭😭

I'm tearing up, I was tethering on the verge of it then idk why but the twirling he did before last spin did it

Eta: forgot to add that it was clean (I noticed he opens 3Lo really early, which makes me wanna see 4Lo again🥺)

2nd part started!

That smile, the softness of his moves, his gliding...

(The "s" on the ice in front of camera, great shot)

Omg Yuzuru's arms are killing me, so good

Oh my he looks so happy, and free?

This time  camera didn't botch my lunge

Really, how does he manage to make something good even better?

Sound of blades!

I just realized I can't remember the last spin, my brain was so fried, did he do the layback or not? I have no clue😱😱

Just now, IceWings said:

Yes, last save didn't count because he was just being extra. LOL.

Yes, he just can't help being like that, gotta love him for that😆

Oh gosh I can breath again now

Clean!

With a tad of a save on an addition he added out of extraness cuz 3A landing was good😁

ETA:

Last 3S of the 4T euler combo not the cleanest landing, so maybe that's why he wanted to be Extra and add a further toe on last 3A(it was a big 3A!) but really, it was a great performance! Having rewatched Yokohama yesterday, I liked this Dark Messenger even more interpretation-wise, felt richer and more nuanced

And I'm happy he's not kuyashii!!!!

Only a fall in 6min warm up

Anxiety levels suddenly ⬆️⬆️⬆️

Beyond live telling me to have fun...well my insides are churning from tension, I guess that's part of the fun too😅😅

Aaand I kinda jinxed it

🙏🙏🙏

Oh, the blades part

I relate to audience very much

Yuzu looks so intimidating 😳 that poor camera!

Megalovania

I felt Yuzu looked positively scary in expression here!I can't reconcile it with Ashura chan, such a different mood!

You can always tell Ashura chan from how the screams peak😆 it's a program where one doesn't have to refrain😁

Eta: oh!! The little skip! A short detail but even that adds!

Ahhhh that was good!

OMG

Gate of Living🤩😍😍😍

Do we wanna talk about how at the shot at the beginning even previous ice traces looked symmetrical to the light corridor???

Opening and Fleeting dream breathtaking 

Liking camerawork thus far, showing the overall choreo and then going to Yuzu and back again. They only didn't do justice to my belived double lounge IMO, but I loved everything else

I am lucky I can to watch the livestream today

Who's ready? I'm not ready...but I'm ready! (ngl the 6min warmup and Messanger are already making me tense😅)

Hoping Yuzu had some good rest despite hay fever and is ready to slay us again😁

Happy healthy Yuzu!🙏
