I second this - not worried about Yuzu. He seems to know how to make the clothes work for him and fit his image.

Hopefully we won't have to wait that long ...

Yuzu's new EX programme in only a few hours away This is so exciting! I've been wondering what it will be like all day, ahaha. Also, I'm curious. What color/theme will his new costume be? What do you all think? I made a quick poll to see if we can collectively guess correctly (for fun while we wait): https://poll-maker.com/poll4386948xdf7943E7-138 (Please remove if this is not allowed.) I'm going to go with green because that's what my gut is telling me with absolutely no reasoning behind it, hehe, but I know most likely it will not be this. Must stay awake to find out.

They've been stuck in my head for over 2 weeks now, so I know the feeling.

Here you go:

So he wasn't taking a nap.

Just thought of something - Was this the inspiration for the FaOI 2022 Finale outfits?

I secretly think there are two Yuzus.

I feel silly, but I can't find it.

Right? This is my fifth FaOI experience and I'm still so excited that I'm staying up way past midnight with no problems, ahaha. And thanks to everyone for sharing these bits and pieces of news/updates.

While sorting through some old files on my computer this morning, I found these mantis pictures from an old project I had to do for school years ago, and I just ... I couldn't help myself I guess I've been seeing too many Yuzu photos to recognize the pose even in mantis pictures. But, to my defense, even the background colors match for the most part.

Thank you so much! Yuzu's long interviews are always so insightful!

Me too, please, if it's not too much trouble.

Could his mention of "hot" (and "summer" from Tsukiyomi's translation) in the interview be a hint? He said he was skating with that kind of feeling, and we do have Spring (HYK), so . But maybe it's just me thinking too hard about it and wishful thinking.

I received my giveaway prize safely. Thank you so much @Yuzu_legend and the PlanetHanyu team! It is very kind of you, and they are all so beautiful! Thanks again and best wishes to everyone! Looking forward to my first FaOI experience.

Oh my goodness! Wow! Thank you so much! It is such a wonderful surprise to see my name on the list. That made my day. Thank you all so much!

Thank you! I just love bunnies too much. And thank you for the good wishes! Really appreciate that.

When did you become a fan of Yuzu? At the Beijing Olympics. I used to love figure skating as a kid and I have been going through some health-related issues, so I thought I’d return to my childhood and tune in this time for the Winter Olympics FS. I had heard of Yuzu before, but it wasn’t until seeing him give his all to his performances that I instantly became a fan. Watching him skate and cheering for him and his A4 made me forget my own pain and gather courage and optimism. I will never forget watching Rondo, Ten to Chi to, and especially Haru yo Koi. When and why did you sign up for Planet Hanyu? I signed up a few days ago. Since becoming a Yuzu fan, I have been ending up here again and again, but I was too shy to join since I’m new and have little to contribute. I’ve been patiently waiting for news on Yuzu every day with the others, so I thought this would be a good place to do that and learn about Yuzu at the same time. This is the first forum that I’ve joined so I am still learning my way around. Did you make any irl friends through Planet Hanyu? No, but perhaps one day. Have you participated in any group projects on Planet Hanyu? Not yet, but I look forward to it very much. Did you attend any meetups with other satellites at competitions? I am a student so I don’t really have the means to right now, but I hope to get the chance to see Yuzu perform one day. What do you like the most about this forum? The sense of community and warmth from the other members. I am new, but I’ve been going through some posts and am happy to find that such a place exists for fans of Yuzu. Thank you for making such a place possible! Would you like to participate in the giveaway? Yes, please. I’m just learning about Yuzu so I am not exactly sure how, but it would be so lovely to start my Yuzu collection with these. Thanks for your consideration! And Happy 5th Anniversary! Thank you for your hard work and helping share the love for Yuzu! Best of wishes for the future for Planet Hanyu, all Yuzu fans and for Yuzuru Hanyu!
