Working on it!

And it's not only for FaOI. It's for a weekend where TV Asahi is going all out with Yuzu content, including a porgram with photographer taking about their work photographing Yuzu, and the special program that TV Asahi broadcast after Yuzu's press conference. That special program was already long and this time they will add 30 extra minutes of content. The photos on the pillars are from FaOI and SharePractice so its a huge way of displaying sand suppirting pro athlete Yuzu, me think 😉✨

The time difference makes me dizzy! So, FaOI Nagoya on August 27th is at 1:34 AM -4:40 AM but it will be broadcast on TV Nagoya local channel, so we don't have streaming (channel not available on Japan TV and other Japanese streaming services). However, the same broadcast will be shown on September 4th, 2 PM-5 PM, CS Entermeitele. This channel is available in different Japanese TV streaming services so there will be links to watch it

The Brazilian fan account Yuzuru Hanyu Brazil (@HanyuBr) started #FanyuDay on Fridays. Every Friday has a different theme, this Friday was about sharing 2 favourite photos of Yuzu (I know, it's impossible to choose). Next Friday (Aug 26) is about sharing your favorite edit, Friday Sep 2 will be fanart, and Friday Sep 9 will be to share a song you would like Yuzu to skate. Then they are planning to do a poll to select the themes for the next Fridays. It was fun seeing posts from fans from different countries, even some Japanese fans became aware close to the end of Friday in Japan and posted some photos. Full disclosure about this. I am pep_on on Twitter but @HanyuBr added my name to the campaign because I came up with a random suggestion while commenting under a post about songs and Yuzu. Just for fun, I decided to tag them in case they wanted to do something with the idea and, as expected of Brazilian enthusiasm, they picked up the ball and ran with it I leave the info here in case some of you are interested in joining the next Fridays.

Has any one shared this version of the 27 photos taken by Kaizuka-san? This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS].

I am totally lost! Can I still send my message and a drawing?

It seems that it's more a news announcement? The community tab is a feature that appears automatically once you reach 500 subscribers and it appears up to one week from the date that happened. So, it's not as if Yuzu put the community tab there... or how to use it. Though, he is very data driven so I would love form him to conduct some polls to inform the content he wants to upload on his channel... we can only dream.

As always, admiring the mind, the heart and the motivation of Yuzu. The fact that he decided to do "hellish interviews" to give the chance to the media to ask him questions individually, wow! And that after an out of this world display of talent and stamina.

Yes, I think you can share clips of up to 1 minute. And if someone is sharing something longer or an edit, please add the link to the original source, meaning Hanyu Yuzuru Youtube channel videos

The translation of Axel with Wings is amazing. The link they added to their post will take you directly to the comment with the full translation of Yuzu's message. Remember to give a like to Yuzu's video and to AwW comment so that it stays on top!!

Translation of Yuzuru's message

Just for the sake of language and the complexity of translation and interpretation Marika had to correct her original post because of the different shades of meaning of the word :-)

I think it also bought him some time for spreading the news among fans by word of mouth avoiding getting nasty comments from the very beginning (you know, social media being some times a very wild place). The channel doesn't even have advertising so it's not like he is trying to become a pro Youtuber, just trying to make his skating more accessible to fans. This is particularly important for international fans, as some people cannot access some Japanese content due to geo blocking. He is so sweet for opening this YT channel, part of Yuzu's message during the press conference was to make his skating more accessible Reading the comments is so heartwarming, they are so sweet and are written in different languages! Earlier today/tomorrow (gosh, time zones!), a Japanese fan took the time to count (as far as possible) where the messages were coming from: "Over 27,000 comments in 10 hours. How the world has been waiting. There are so many comments that I can't really read through them, but at a quick glance, there are 32 countries and regions that clearly indicate the country of origin."

It's was one of the most popular requests during #Challenge4Yuzu and some of those requests included sharing videos of his practices wearing his Under Armour training gear. Well, he opened the YouTube channel and left a message wearing UA ✨👀

I just added Marika's (written), Tsukiyomi's (written) and Sarah SS' (video) translations of the parts of the post-press conference interview released by TV Tokyo on Youtube on Aug 6th. In this interview, Yuzu talks about how he communicated (will communicate) his decision to his coaches and how grateful he is of coaches and teachers. ***The link copies weird so the first snippet is from a different interview (News α), but you can find the translations after that.

✨We will have more content of Kobe on August 28th!!!! Fuji TV channel 2, 12 PM - 1:30 PM (Japan). Special footage: interviews and images from the practice of the day before Kobe day 1✨ https://twitter.com/pep_on_/status/1555452828550045696?t=8Wr4oCGEVq6Hh3D1LMO2eA&s=19

A Japanese fan have me the heads up about the photo. She said that if we retweet or quote retweet, we can get a gift from Yuzu ✨👀. If anything, we can rt or qrt to show our support to one of Yuzu's sponsors. Sekkisei is expanding internationally (looking for more presence in Duty Free stores at the airports), so they may be happy if they see international fans sharing 😊

This thread includes possible links. She will also add other links closer to the date, if available. https://twitter.com/AikaAnnaHanyu/status/1554973471666540547?t=slgY_qB4kELs7Mv-U0LVKg&s=19

Hi Lynne487! I can record the show and share it with you as I did for Shizuoka Day 1 ☺️. As you can imagine, I don't mind watching Yuzu performing again while I record the show 😂❤️‍🔥.

@Skrimblo_iced This thread with video explanation is very clear to explain the difference in technique for an axel jump And this other one that shows the technique and marks left on the ice. This is what Yuzu was explaining about his particular technique avoiding pre-rotation: https://video.h5.weibo.cn/1034:4793055493161023/4793056564349083

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but there are some compilations with explanations on YouTube YUZURU HANYU - COMPLETE 6 JUMP ANALYSIS + GOE ANALYSIS YUZURU HANYU - Highest Scored Jumps from each season | 2013-2020 (not in slow motion, but you could select to play the video in slow motion) Yuzuru Hanyu 羽生結弦: Best Recovery Jumps and Layout Changes (this one is fun to watch because it shows how good Yuzu's mind, technique and reflexes work) I also love Elisa's (@Lunnarias on Twitter) analysis of Yuzu's jumps, which of course include slow motion videos. These are on her Instagram: Yuzu's 4Lo (part 1) & Yuzu's 4Lo (part 2) Yuzu's 4Lz Yuzu's 3A

And talking about interpretations, I found this thread very interesting. I think Yuzu had been giving signs for quite some time that he was ready to move on while also sharing what he was feeling. Danse mon Esmeralda was just the most obvious of those messages that we weren't able to interpret (or didn't want to?). About the other clear signs: Masquerade, Rondo (see Shae-Lynn Bourne explanation of the choreography) and Tenchi. The story of Kenshin who fought many battles and after facing defeat with his army ponders whether to continue fighting or take a new path to priesthood.

I posted something about the meaning of Raison, the costume and the rolling up the sleeve some time ago, along the same lines of @LiaRy I recently read a post from a Japanese fan, she/he was mentioning something like Yuzu being given a 'slap or hit on the shoulder' by JSF and ISU. The image of Raison and Yuzu holding his shoulder came to my mind. So I looked for the concept and it seems to be an equivalent of giving someone the cold shoulder. But I also found that there is a move in Go (Japanese strategy board game, similar to chess) that's called Katatsuki (shoulder hit). The move is used to reduce the territorial potential of an opponent's group without being easily captured. When I read that description I thought how Yuzu had been increasingly cornered by organizations that cannot be made easily accountable for their actions.

Thanks!!! I'm recording right now. Will send you a DM when I have saved the video on Google Drive or something. I'll probably need to divide it in parts because the video will be heavy!
