I did interpret it exactly like this the day we got the live stream. That he chose loneliness at the end of Raison and purity/freedom when he exited after NDP. But I thought he was simply expressing his feelings about how FaOI made him feel. It never once occurred to me it might go deeper than gratitude for the audience supporting him. But we were mislead. I don't know if by him or by the translations or by our own feelings. I suppose we were mislead by a combination of all three. He affirmed time and time again that he is in the best shape he has ever been, he talked about YH's skating, he emphasised he wants to grow as an artist and as an athlete, too. We took this to mean that he will continue pursuing his goals in competition. I'm now wondering whether we assumed all this because we have never seen a professional skater better themselves both artistically and athletically.

You can tell when he starts talking that he has a knot in his throat 😭😭😭

Ah, with the now knowledge, the interpretation of the song is so much clearer

^This no longer exists ^Same issue

The media will soon forget about Yuzu until he resurfaces with a new project underway. Then everything will explode again, the fans enthusiasm first, and then the world will surely know that Yuzuru Hanyu is not a person to be forgotten or ignored because he keeps on developing himself - physically, mentally and professionally.

That Yuzu & Miyakawa Raison pose after Yuzu's interview made me laugh so hard!!

The quints were done in order to help him with the 4A. To get a feeling for the rotations and to learn how to gain more height and distance (or something like this). Don't quote me on it, though

That second 4T was impressive. He gained speed so fast between the jumps. And the distance covered by the first 4T... you can tell he practiced 5T

Scroll down until you see the photos starting with "2022" without the ".-" before. Those are all. The files that cannot open are faulty copies of the rest.

Oh, I see now! Thank you very much. I opened it on my phone and it was slow to load past the unopenable files. Thank you so so so much!

Thanks, but for some reason the photos can't be opened even if the format is png. I don't know why. But thank you for your effort! There are some that can be opened but it says most of the files are damaged or corrupted

Yuzu being Yuzu. And no one can say no to him. [NEWS]

There's so much Yuzu stuff still happening. From throw back pictures to video edits, old interviews and previously unseen footage. This just makes me finally realize how big Yuzu is and will remain in the history of figure skating. He is the bridge between 2-3 generations of skaters. I've been searching for a certain picture yesterday and ended stumbling upon these from the JNats 2020 warm up https://yuzu-all-the-way.tumblr.com/post/690950019831005184/one-of-my-favourite-series-of-yuzu-photos If you don't want to go on Tumblr, I'll share the photos under the spoiler in order to not fill the page. There may be more, but these are all that I could find from the setting Edit: Apparently not all links work, so under the spoiler there aren't all the photos

I find it funny that the Raison practice costume is a very thin black-sequined top thrown over his UA 😂 I wonder if he got it done so he can practice with a flowy hem

@Fita Your dedication is astounding. I became a fan of Yuzu's shortly before the Beijing Team Event happened, so I had about a week to cram as much info as possible about Yuzu into my mind. I tried later on to read the general thread from start to finish, I couldn't do it, waaay too much stuff and too many feelings. You have my admiration! It's amazing how many new fans Yuzu attracts and the fact that he has chosen to become pro and people who now discover him don't say "Oh, then it's not worth following him anymore", but they are curious to see with what Yuzu comes up next - that speaks volumes about the kind of presence he has on and off the ice. To me it's impressive the impact he has on people like you who had no idea of what the sport is about prior to seeing Yuzu. I don't remember who posted, but there was a tweet from a Chinese Fanyu that said something like "We can now all say (old and new fans) that we have known Yuzu from the beginning" - meaning that his pro athlete career is just starting and that's a new start for us, too.

Yes, sure, this is also an option! I'll add it in the original post as an idea

I promised I would make a post in which I would try and explain the idea of a celebration for Yuzu's competitive career. The quotes are added to help me keep track of the things that have been briefly talked about so far. The proposal I would like to find a couple of people who are willing to help organize a stream for celebrating Yuzu's competitive career. First and foremost, a streaming platform should be discussed (maybe Twitch?) and someone who knows how to stream would be very welcome. (I could try doing it, too, but it may take a while before I figure out how everything works since I never used a live streaming platform before). Secondly, since there are A LOT of competitions and programs it'll be quite hard to choose between them. @lajoitkosuggested a division of the programs into 3 sections: first senior season until Sochi (inclusively), Sochi - PyC and PyC - Beijing. We can have 3 polls per season to decide which competition to watch - polls for the short, long and gala programs, respectively. For example: 2016-2017 season LGC with the options ACI, SCI, NHK, GPF, 4CC, Worlds; H&L poll with the same options; Notte Stellata poll with the same options. Another suggestion by @YuDaiis to have the programs separated by 'genres': competitions, galas and ice shows. The polls would still work for choosing which programs to watch. I realize that this is quite a lot, so suggestions of how we could more easily choose are very much welcome! Also, we should also include ice show programs, so the choosing process becomes even more complicated. Thridly, by dividing the streams into 3 periods, it would mean 3 days of streaming so we would also have to decide on that dates - preferably so that they don't overlap with the Yuzu Skating Party. They can either be 3 days in the course of a week (e.g. Monday, Wednesday, Friday) or there could be 3 days across a month (e.g. first and third Saturday of August - 6th, respectively 20th August, and first Saturday of September - 3rd September). We can also have a poll to decide on the format and the month. However, my suggestion is that we do it soon. The streams would last approximately 2 hours. This is a very basic idea. I'd like to hear your opinions and maybe reach a conclusion by Wednesday/Thrusday so we have enough time to put together a small team to work on the organization process and to have the set up ready to go as soon as possible.

I wonder if tomorrow's broadcasts will show other behind the scenes stuff, especially day 3...

Can I still throw Pooh at you at future shows? 😭😍😭😍

I don't think this was posted, but if it was, I'll delete [NEWS]

Baby Yuzu was so cuuuuteeeee

I didn't expect to see Blinding Lights now 😂
