I think this is what endears him to a lot of people (us included) ... not just his memory but amazing attention to details plus a sweet/kind disposition (always thinking about how the other person feels). I don't think I can ever remember what someone wore (let alone a necktie!) from last week let alone years. I think anyone who interacts with him, he makes them feel special and you can see it from how most people just gush over him. My favourite anecdote will still be Sashida Fumiya drunk texting Yuzu on Line. "For example, once when he was drunk, he sent some nonsensical messages on Line to Yuzu, like “wey……….”. And Yuzu replied, “PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER!!!” (Or “Get a grip on yourself!!”)" Translated by Yuzusorbet.

Hmmmmm... maybe his FS reveal? This is too sweet... I feel so happy for Ogi Mama.

So, I've consolidated Zuzu's 2008-2010 ice show performances (more coming soon... I'm reaching the 60 ice show period and I'm all emo). WARNING: Do not watch if you have a faint heart. He falls A LOT in these performances (except vertigo and change for some reason). It's a 'wrap him up in cotton wool' scenario (thanks B.Esp Uncles for the term).

Done! Thank you for the links!

Glad to be of help! I'm planning to consolidate previous ice show appearances as well but that'll take a bit of time.. Well, now I have something to concentrate on during off season.

Hahaha... I meant that as a joke (I have no idea what goes on in the marketing world). My thinking is that he already has fans buying pooh merchandise as gifts / souvenirs without Disney paying him for being a brand ambassador (is that what it's called?) so why not continue getting free advertising from him? hehehe Seriously though, he has amazing advertising powers in Japan... when I hear/read of things with him as a spokesperson or an advert being sold out...

Remember when Yuzu talked for 6 mins during the NHK Trophy 2015 press conference? Imagine if you guys were tasked to interpret that. (He apologised to the interpreter at the end of the vid... )

Pooh was forbidden due to Olympic brand/trademark rules. Honestly, if I was part of Disney marketing I wouldn't sponsor him eitther because he already gives them free advertising (and lots of sales)

Thanks! I changed the header to [Ice Shows] In case anyone (probably me..hahaha) would like to consolidate ice show videos from previous years.

To anyone who weren't able to watch any of the FaOI 2017 performances, I've made a consolidated media post!

How do I edit the title of a post?

I'm trying to consolidate links for FaOI 2017 as well. haha Just going through the threads quickly to make sure I get everything (that's a lot to cover.. haha)

Thank you!

Yuzusorbet has a summary of episode 1 and Yuzuland has translations for ep3-5. For some reason ep2 never surfaced until now. haha

Same. haha.. I know there parts where they talk about jumps (I seem to hear a lot of "suki" with axels). And then they talk about Shizuka and Yuzu mentions Yamato Tamura and Takeshi Honda - my guess would be skaters from Sendai. Also, that clip with Kanako where she ate something foreign and ended up getting a stomachache (Yuzu called her baka )

After all this time Episode 2 of Kenji's room has been posted! Anyone can give bullet points? Seems he's professing his love of axels. ETA: Seems like they're talking about jumps? Hopefully someone can translate

Shu and Pa are how he describes his jumps. Shu is the jump and Pa is the landing. Better explained in this video translation. Credit: http://hanyuedits.tumblr.com

4CC 2013 was in Osaka

Looking at this arms movements.. I'd say it's hope and legacy. OMG! He actually mouths the shu-paas! at 0:57 particularly..
