I was thinking this same thing. Now I think that the costume and general theme of Raison (the struggle between loneliness/corruption and a pure heart) makes even more sense in this context. We thought so already, but hearing it from Yuzu makes it even harder.

Right? I've been trying to keep up with all the interviews/appearances but it's so overwhelming (especially bc of time zone differences). I've added all the appearances for Saturday (JPN) that I know of to the Calendar (and sources where the info came from) for everyone to keep up since it converts times to local for each satellite. I can add more as I learn of them (mods, please let me know if this is not allowed?).

Would it be possible to send him something through Ice Rink Sendai now that he's no longer with JSF? I think they'd make sure he gets it.

This is how I feel too. I wish I had known about him sooner so I could have gone on the competitive journey a little longer. I'm sad that I won't get to experience all that but happy with the decision he has made. He's still going to skate so we'll still get to see him. It doesn't matter where, as it is bound to be amazing! Still processing this though, but I feel calmer about it this morning. I was happy to see him laughing at the presscon so that makes it easier.

Seeing the setup made me sad all of a sudden... I wonder how Yuzu's feeling...

Just a little longer... I keep shifting from being totally calm to being nervous about it.

Wasn't there something saying that he held the Beijing Press-con because he had gotten too many interview requests asking about his future that he decided to just address them all at a conference instead? I could be wrong, but this is what I remember was the reasoning behind it. Could be the same thing here. I know a bunch of media sources were writing about his decision to compete being a mystery still even after his profile update. So maybe he just wants to announce it himself that way without having to meet/be interviewed with all/any in particular (plus sneak in a little more about "Hanyu's figure skating" and gratefulness to the fans).

Maybe he just wants to publicly thank the fanyus for the Pooh Rain/frequent trending (thereby giving him more determination)? I'm just trying to think positive before I go to bed.

Thanks for posting this. I was just going to ask if it will be broadcasted on TV. I won't know what he's saying, but whatever it is, it would be nice to see Yuzu again. P.S. I added this to the Calendar since it helps convert the time for everyone here on the Planet to local time. (I hate doing math to calculate lol)
