Thank you, @Perelandra! In a way, I will always be sad that I never got to experience a full season of Yuzu competing. Nevertheless, what he has shown in less than 2 months since he announced him starting his pro career, I definitely felt a whirlwind of emotions. For me, SharePractice was, in a way, media day, but rewritten to fit the new context. A new costume, what a beautiful thought! I'm sure Yuzu has a lot of ideas for new programs, consequently, needing costumes. We will see in the (possibly) not so distant future some breathtaking pieces. Collaborations with other skaters, I'm deeply curious how that would look like. I believe that we can all agree that Yuzu on ice is something almost too beautiful to be true. Another skater will never shine as brightly beside Yuzu in normal circumstances. And still, there's a certainty that whomever Yuzu will collaborate with will receive just as much attention as Yuzu while on the ice.

I've been keeping up with everything that is happening around here. I had Covid and felt awful for a few days, finally got better, but there was so much Yuzu content I wasn't able to process much and then I was gone for the weekend. Now I finally had a day to settle down. The 24HTV Rondo was gorgeous - it's the highlight of my day - the behind the stage footage from Kobe was so cool and fun to watch and the little snippets from Nagoya that popped around on Twitter were nice as well. Now, of course, the question is: when will we see Yuzu again? However, it feels good to know that there was so much Yuzu content in the past few weeks. I feel only excitement and eagerness for what's to come since it seems Yuzu is quite busy as a pro athlete now.

Thank you! I've been trying to find it, but I had no luck. I'm pretty sure it's in PH's videos, there are so many I sort of gave up browsing hoping someone knows the source.

I'm looking for this interview. Can someone help, please? 🙏

Edit: moved to general chat

More from Nagoya this Friday, but it seems to be on the local Nagoya TV channel. [NEWS]

Not yet, still in the dark

I'm holding out hope for Rondo

Yuzu at practice for 24HTV, I don't know where this info comes from, so take it woth a grain of salt This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS].

The best kind of background relaxing music that's not music. One of the things I was sad about in competitions is that we can't hear clearly the sounds the blades make on the ice not even when the skaters go closely by the camera. Yuzu's videos will most likely have this sound quite clear - especially those that will feature practices.

I also keep returning to the 2nd video. The SharePractice is amazing, too, of course - but it's quite long, so I can't really spare that much time daily to rewatch it in full (at least the on ice part). The 2nd video, on the other hand, is on my daily playlist.

I'm eagerly waiting for Yuzu's next YT video. I think we'll be surprised by what it is - either another announcement or maybe a new program/practice, maybe more jumping on our faces... My friends IRL even asked me what's happened since I don't talk about Yuzu anymore with them. The reason is because I now know that we'll see him soon(er than usual). And that I'll get a notification when there's new stuff from him. It feels surreal, truly.

Hi, guys! I've been away from home for almost a week on vacation and wasn't able to interact on here much. When Yuzu's YT channel showed up I was so excited and honestly thought it was going to take some time before we get any content. And Yuzu basically said, "No, 3 videos in one week". I'm super pumped for tomorrow's (ah, Japan time, today) practice. I can finally say that I'm watching Yuzu from the beginning. I've watched today's video multiple times (while on the train with spotty data signal, it was quite the experience). I am simply happy at seeing Yuzu happy and experimenting new things... and showing us, coincidentally, 2 of my favourite jumps of his, from up close. Obviously, I'm still unable to properly express my thoughts and feelings - I don't think I ever will when it comes to Yuzu. His skating has come to mean a lot to me, so his YT channel is a wonderful surprise.

As long as the link is embedded from YT directly, the views count. We could keep only the YT version and the admins could keep a locked category with the re-uploads to Streamable or Vimeo or whatever else just in case the videos ever leave YT. Just an idea

Could we now have a category in the videos section that is dedicated to Yuzu's YT videos?

Hi, I'm currently on vacation without much time until Wednesday. I will join the server then. Just wanted to let you know since I took a translator role

I'm holding my fingers crossed for the Nagoya Day 2 Yuzu one man show 😂

Click on the 'Videos' tab and you'll see the videos. No need to subscribe

Merci beaucoup, je suis heureux 🤗

I made a compilation of Yuzu's finale jumps at the Fantasy on Ice shows we have had broadcast so far. Once Nagoya Day 1&2 are broadcast, I will add those, too. I just wanted to share this because it's beautiful to see how Yuzu played around with the difficulty of the jumps throughout the shows.

Honestly, I think Stephane guessed. This is only my hypothesis. Stephane attempted 4T two times. This makes me think he had been encouraged to do them, the only person I can think of who could've talked to Stephane about this is Yuzu (also see how Stephane was looking back towards the skaters and the camera focused on Yuzu while he gave Stephane the thumbs up - could mean anything, but I believe Stephane was directly looking at Yuzu). Besides this, Marika's tweet translation: Maybe Yuzu asked some stuff, maybe he just had a different vibe, we'll never know. The last thing, Yuzu can't always hide his emotions and when he's overwhelmed, like in Shizuoka Day 3, it's really hard to jist brush it off even though he said he cries a lot, but it's not that serious. I still think someone who paid attention and was relatively close to Yuzu during FaOI could have pieced some stuff together. Although I wonder why it wasn't Nobu. The last thing: that finale embrace between Yuzu & Stephane was clearly emotional. Maybe Stephane caught on during the finale, maybe it was just a random emotional hug. All this is speculation. We, as fans, had little information available and misleading hints, not in our wildest dreams did we think Yuzu would become pro after JSF page update on July 1st. Maybe the skaters' around Yuzu didn't care enough to catch onto his plans or they didn't have any clue either. But in hindsight, I think everyone could trace the clues appropriately while going backwards chronologically. I think Yuzu meant for TenChi to be his last competitive program, but I do want to see the full version of it with the 4A added. Maybe one day soon

Excuse this second post. The conversation was about how Yuzu talked about his sleeves having different meanings, but the translations made these meanings quite abstract. So I did a quick google search and found out that white in Japanese does mean spiritual and physical purity. From the context, Yuzu clearly meant spiritual purity. So when he finally rolled up his purple sleeve I understood as he finally achieved that purity - a sort of balance. There wasn't much theorizing going on

I don't remember if I actually posted about it or talked to someone. I'll have to check Edit: @PammiNo, it was in a private conversation
