Ah, she's so sweet! Such a spontaneous reaction. I would cry too if I was standing in front of his iconic, beautiful costumes and skates in person. So much weight of history behind them..and would make me feel closer to Yuzu. It would be overwhelming I think.

Yuzuru the Corporation. I am having such a hard time wrapping my head around all this. Such a paradigm shift overnight, this newly independent, business-savvy Yuzuru, with all kinds of new surprises up his sleeve, especially since two days ago we were all anticipating and planning for a new competitive season. But I sure do like the sound of never to be used, bullied or manipulated ever again. For the first time since Yuzuru's announcement, I felt a little spark of excitement at reading this. It seems that when Yuzuru sets his sights on something, he wastes no time putting plans into motion. He's amazing!

I personally still think it's important, especially since it is to help save the sport that Yuzuru loves so much, and if you and Anabel still feel motivated, it's still worth pursuing. But in the end it may be more up to the Fanyus who have the expertise to do the writing/web designing/AI analysis, and if they still feel the motivation to continue. I have no expertise to contribute, but would be willing to print and send a letter. I believe there are still a lot of Fanyus who have other skaters they like and care about, who also love the sport, and who would still want to make judging fair for the sake of a new generation of skaters, even if it's too late to help Yuzu. Perhaps it would be good to take a break for a week or two rather than trying to make a decision by Sunday, and then come back to it, give yourselves and others time to process the grief and intense mixed emotions of Yuzuru's retirement. I think it's ok to wait, and then reevaluate. It's just too hard to have a clear head right now, emotions are still too raw. I want to thank you and Anabel, and your whole letter-writing team for all the work you've put in so far on this campaign. It's a fine tribute to Yuzuru, even if you choose not to continue right now.

I love this message for Yuzu from Nam. Now this is a sincere, genuine tribute to a friend, and the pic he chose is so cute.

I’m going to have to give up my resistance to social media and join Twitter just so I can participate in future Pooh rains! This is amazing!

Yuzu certainly isn't shy about showing off his body these days. Of course, he has nothing to be shy about.

Haha, this is the best. And yet, it does capture the insane heights he achieves somehow.

Umeko, thank you so much for sharing. Your description is eloquent and poetic. I'm glad you and everyone at the theater had such an amazing, transcendent experience watching Yuzuru perform on screen. I also can't wait to see the video of the performance in it's entirety, I have no doubt we will all be mezmerized!

Oh my goodness, it never ceases to amaze me how loved Yuzu is all over the world. It's one thing know it intellectually, but it's another to see pictures of all these people gathering together to watch his skating and support him, and not even at a live venue! That is wonderful! I hope Yuzu sees these pictures and banners from the Taiwanese Fanyus.

I believe the opening is Afternoon Parade by Suga Shikao. But I'm not sure about the closing. I know it's in the Ice Show threads for Makuhari and Nagoya somewhere though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKatJwXyRtw

Thank you so much for sharing this! I'm so excited, I don't think I'll sleep tonight. Yuzu looks adorable and happy too.

As a member who hasn't posted enough to see the vent thread apparently, I appreciate being able to read honest opinions and conversations about things that will directly affect Yuzu's decision to continue to compete, and has affected his career over the last quad. New members, and those of us who are uneducated about FS scoring need to be able to see these things. Thank you for sharing your honest thoughts with all of us. I feel the same.
