  4. Hm we don’t usually organize threads by members. (It’s enough work keeping up with the threads on the “official” side of things on the forum.) It’s 3 threads so far? What you could do is open a master thread where you quote the previous questions into the first post and declare it the main thread for this or that questions from now on
  5. For those who have missed it here is the fluff thread for Worlds:
  6. Guys, I get the frustration and share it with you. Some of you are correctly distinguishing between Nathan as a person and your disagreement with the advantages in scoring he enjoys thanks to his position. I just want to emphasize this difference one more time. Keep your criticism constructive and respectful and try not to project any of your feelings on Nathan as a person. Keep in mind that this is a public forum and can be read by anyone. Thank you!

    Thank you lots, we’ve received it! Happy new year!!!
  8. Happy new year everyone! I usually am not one to put much importance on new years and usually say that this day is just like any other day but 2020 has been exceptionally rough. I sincerely hope 2021 brings less misery and more happiness to everyone! Stay safe and healthy and don’t forget to take care of your mental health, as well. (Especially you, Yuzu!)
  9. The part about Yuzu feeling defeated after GPF and JNats last season makes me so angry I can’t even express how mad it makes me (at ISU/JSF). On another note I am once again amazed at the amount of thought Yuzu puts into the music. And I am happy for whoever has been editing his music in the past- now that Yuzu has finally taken it into his own hands they must have found peace lmao Also YESSSS Federer!!!!!!!!!!!! Yuzu seeing him as an example is all I could wish for
  10. Yeah. I honestly don’t have the capacity to understand their POV. I look at this program and my first reaction is being in awe and I didn’t need any backstory and interpretation or any deeper understanding of the program to reach this state. I immediately knew how brilliant it was. I don’t get why people wouldn’t have my reaction and don’t want to waste any more time or breath discounting or understanding why they wouldn’t.
  11. Hmmm honestly after the FS I have wondered about why he would even need to return to TCC, too. But in other interviews he has also talked a lot about missing an objective view of his skating and second-guessing his own perception at times so while he seems pretty self-sufficient he does seem to miss his coaches? He sounded close to tears while talking about training alone during the press con (tho that might have been due to other difficulties as well- He hasn’t really opened up about the source of his difficulties and why he’s been in a rut up until late October.) I do lean towards thinking the question of Yuzu returning to TCC or not depends on the state of the pandemic. He probably has quite an isolated training environment in Sendai rn and I am not sure he can be provided such an environment under normal conditions? He would probably miss the privacy that TCC provides him with
  12. Im caught in a cycle of Yuzu withdrawal -> watch H&E for the umpteenth time (and cry) -> check PH -> try to distract myself with other stuff -> Yuzu withdrawal... I need help
  13. Hmmm I can see why people would say something like this about H&L (tho I personally wouldn’t agree) but H&E has plenty of movement to me which makes it a great piece to skate to. The play between orchestral and more Japanese parts makes it a quite dynamic piece- tho ofc also complex but not difficult to understand? The piece has moments of quiet but also builds up in places which I love. eg. I love the dramatic pause in the middle of the StSq. I do agree that the Choreo Seq might need some rearrangement since some moves are lost in the music (like the IB) but else I feel like the music during the Choreo Seq is not difficult to translate into skating and provides the climactic moment I personally would look for? And H&E is not as introspective as H&L. I think it has a clear „commercial“ (read: readable by western standards) appeal and has the potential to be well received with western audiences, as well. (I guess that really shouldn’t be the focus but we know judges can be dense.)

    We‘ve received it! Thank you for sharing your bonus with us
  15. Hmmm it’s not really about Yuzu, is it? 🤔
  16. Actually I kind of doubt the Japanese fandom will respond even if we come up with a Japanese hashtag. Plus isn’t it more impactful to have everything under the same hashtags?
  17. I for one prefer #PoohRain4Yuzu Also I feel like #YuzuruNationals2020 has a nice ring
  18. Hey guys, I just want to bring to your attention that we're slowly bringing the old themes back and that some of them are ready to use again. Sorry it took so long!
  19. With a global pandemic looming over our heads in the recent months we have relaxed our rule stating that politics may not be discussed on the forum. Political discussions related to COVID-19 are allowed as long as they are kept within the specified thread. Non-political talk related to COVID needs to be kept in that thread, as well, unless it's also about skating or skaters. Going beyond that, we ask you to cite credible sources when making claims about the virus and the pandemic. We want to do our best to prevent spreading of misinformation so we reserve the right to hide posts that aren’t sufficiently sourced. This will also apply retrospectively and may be done without a message from the mods. If you can't find your post related to COVID anymore it's possible that we have hidden it due to this rule. Please report any posts that you feel go against these rules. Thank you!
  20. “different vibe from Chopin“ made me think of LGC
