I am anxious about the announcement even though it can't be something bad. I guess I'm still a bit traumatized by the 19th July experiences 🤣

Congratulations to all the GIFT winners! Us, from home, will be there in spirit. Hopefully glued to screens and cheering alongside you 😁✨️

Is anyone going to watch the Japan Nationals?

Thank you! I hope it will be available on CDJapan, too. For some reason, my payment never goes through on Amazon JP 🥹

I went to check Aoi Hono III on Amazon and it says unavailable. Is it already out of stock?

Hmm, can you open it now?

I uploaded it!

It got closed, we were informed about it. All's good

Oh my... I don't know how people leave that store without being kicked out 😄

Shot in the dark and obviously far-fetched, but maybe through one of his sponsors...? I don't know, maybe if we can show that people want to reach him for fan-mail (and Yuzu's open to this), there will be something put in place?

machine translation paraphrase: there is also a lawson international website, so tickefs for GIFT might be available for internationals as well. However, it might be domestic demand first then instruction for int'l

Does anyone have a link (unofficial)? Like a live qq or some other?

Thank you! ☺️

It reminded me a bit of HYK with the ice flakes being thrown in the air. It's very Yuzu-core 😁

Thank you! Haha, actually, it's snow from the ice. During the spider lunge, he has his head brush the ice. You can see in the broadcast right after the lunge the back of his head being white 😂 Then he goes into twizzles and the ice flies off Thank you! 😁

There's no Seimei without the paired cross rolls, haha

Not to toot my own horn, but I'm pretty pleased with how I made 10 GIFs to highlight several Prologue Hachinohe Day 3 moments. Here's the link to the Tumblr post (they may take a while to load since they are almost all close to 10MB). I refrain from putting the GIFs directly here because they take too much space on page. Example under spoiler

I got Japan TV for today by some miracle, but the voice/music is out of sync with the image 😭 I hope someone with better quality service records @ImmortalBelovedI completely forgot about asking you to record because I remembered about the program 10 mins before it started

Thank you so much for this, it's incredible. Back in February I was soaking up info about Yuzu and your work on Wikipedia helped me a lot! They are truly a couple of the few pages (both Olys season page & the main YH page) on Wikipedia to properly give me the information I needed about a person in a niche sport. Also, do you think Yuzu ever reads his Wiki pages and goes "woaaah, I did this" or "huh, I'd forgotten about that"? 🤣

I can't believe that Prologue happened and there's no time to process it because news about GIFT are out in the world!!

@ImmortalBelovedYes, exactly. YoiTV is fine quality-wise. I'm happy to hear that you got the videos 🩵

this is the only one I found while quickly looking through my downloaded photos

The saddest thing I noticed about JapanTV is that it dulls the colours. I have in mind the NHK BS4K stream of Yuzu's performances at the 3 Olympics and the 2019 NHK Trophy. I don't know if that only happens with the 4K quality or with the rest of the normal quality streams as well. In the quality sense, YoiTV is much better, but JapanTV has the advantage of having the 3-day (reasonably paid) trial while YoiTV has only 1-day free trial. I wanted to leave this here just for reference if people need to make a decision about which service to engage with. Edit: Oops, just noticed a similar comment was made by Wintek

Thank you! Of course, no problem 🤗
