Thank you so much for the translation, glilikoi! I'm running a mid grade fever right now and I'm not sure if I am emotionally ready to watch the interview... I'll see after fretting over 4CC

...trying not to cry now

unfortunately they sold out of yuzu cheesecake at the bakery, so I need to wait 3 hours then go back... wahhhh

Happy 24th birthday to our inspiring, talented, and all-around amazing ice fairy, Yuzuru Hanyu! Wishing you happiness and joy on this wonderful day! I have made a little something to mark the occasion--a Yuzu birthday MAD, entitled "Lifelight", set to the main theme of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate... which comes out today! I've tried to put some of the most inspiring Yuzu highlights in my very first MAD for any fandom--hope you will enjoy it! Content warning: R&J1.0 fall from 1:11 to 1:14 mark. Don't worry, he gets up again! Credits: 2018 PC Venue Ceremony Fan Cam by softponsamon Super Smash Bros Ultimate - Lifelight lyrics (click on the star on the linked page to see it)

@Hydroblade thank you so much for organizing! My messages for TCC as follows: Dear Yuzu: Happy birthday to you! Sending you lots of love and support and wishing you a steady recovery! Dear Junhwan: All the best for making the Grand Prix Final! I'll be cheering for you during your skate! FIGHTING! Dear Evgenia: I wish you health, happiness and warmth, and will be cheering for you during Europeans and Nationals! Love to all of Team Cricket, souyouki

is it just YouTube videos being taken down (and if so, was it the usual suspects of TV Asahi and Fuji TV)? Or are Dailymotion videos affected too?

ironically it's watching the movie Shin Godzilla that indirectly led me to becoming a fan of Zu... the actor who motion captured the big G himself was one Mansai Nomura. And I actually watched Onmyoji to see how walking in Japanese traditional theater was like, so I can learn more about how rubber suit actors (Mansai included) portrayed Godzilla's movement...

Such as... Smash Bros. Ultimate? It's out on Dec 7 2018 after all... (Was going to shuttle between it and the GPF, but if Yuzu does show up at the GPF I'm afraid that I would probably get a bad case of vertigo from shuttling between playing and worrying about him busting his poor ankle again... )

and while it's not my least favourite costume of Yuzu's, why oh why is Notre Dame de Paris on there... why not Ballade No. 1 or POTO(either one)?

I wonder what quiz show was it...? Come to think of it, a good number of TV shows featuring Yuzu before he won his first Olympic gold in Sochi would put ゆづる on top of 結弦 as a pronunciation guide (furigana)...

I wonder if it's because now, in June, Japanese people change into summer clothes--hence Yuzu's short sleeved shirt. (With the backpack he just looks like a high school student all over again~ )

Congrats Yuzu! A truly well deserved honour from an amazing skater and hope for a community surviving and recovering from a major disaster. (image credit: CBC/IOC, Olympic Men's FS Final screencap; typesetting courtesy of the late Miitomo app from Nintendo)

yeah... light blue or even lilac, instead of YELLOW, would have been a vast improvement... how about gold though?

Wouldn't diamonds weigh him down and undermine his ability to jump quads though? I think Yuzu would put lots of thought to how much the sequins on his costumes weigh too, in addition to the aesthetics...

This begs to be added to the back of his outfit as wings...

Is this still on given it might only be slightly dry (what with CwW TV performances and FaoI)?

SEIMEI has the breathing part covered

Robo!SEIMEI is soooooo adorable~ And if you watch the video following it you'll notice that NHK Newsline also covered the parade... and mentioned "stuffed animal of a bear character that is Hanyu's favourite". This is because NHK has extremely strict policies about references to commercial products and trademarks on their broadcasted programmes... I'm trying to find a reference in English about that, but no luck...

the fact that it's written in a serious mystical font just about killed me

To the tune of "Music of the Night"?

I know that Miyaneya (a news wide-show) will cover it at 155pm Japan time on Nippon TV (003 on FujiTV). I don't believe it's a livestream though...

So it looks like Nippon TV will be covering the Emperor's Garden Party on the news show Miyaneya at 155pm Japan time: http://www.ytv.co.jp/miyaneya/ Summary: "大韓航空で今度は母のパワハラ映像流出疑惑!?韓国財閥どうなってるの？ 速報！春の園遊会…金メダリストたちの表情は" Translation: -Leaked video of Korean Air family matriarch's bullying? What is happening with Korean conglomerates? -News Update! The Emperor's Spring Garden Party... and our gold medallists' expressions So I don't think they'll be livestreaming it, but there will be coverage. Here's hopping it isn't a Mezamashi-esque 10 seconds of ... (Edited to add: for those of you with FujiTV, the channel is 003 日テレ)

why are his fingers so roundish and cute and soft

and for that matter does he use sunscreen?
