Oh wow, to be personally given your own Akita puppy by the PM of Japan himself, who will be delivering the puppy all the way from Japan. And the leader of your own country also being present for the occasion.

Omg @Sparklesalad I hate you... I was ready to be swept away in the soaring arias of a song filled with emotion and heart... and this I get

I think people got a bit angry about a photo of the guy serving drinks at a nightclub while cosplaying Yuzu. It does look a bit "hmm?!", but I'm trying not to be miffed too much because maybe the guy just wants to earn a living too. ETA: Oh, there's a video apparently. It all looks pretty harmless fun. I don't like the idea myself, but it doesn't seem that bad. https://twitter.com/quadstark/status/995961115002617856?s=20

Love that message. Great words to hear for anyone slogging through all the minutiae involved in trying to accomplish their goals. Thank you, Hanyu kun

Maybe Alina being an admittedly big Yuzu fan didn't help her here. She probably felt just a little disappointed when, after Seimei played, this guy decided to make an appearance instead

Love how Alina lookes so happy seeing the puppies ^^ And couldn't help thinking how Javi is more of a cat person. Maybe the puppies could feel it lol.

I was bombarding the JP thread with vids from this show, but I should start posting them here 😅 Alina's glee at seeing the cute doggies is adorable to watch.

Yes, Alina's competitive spirit shining through here. Such a gentle girl, but looks like she has the instinct to kill too 😅 ETA: Successful 2nd attempt. Look at that serious face.

That's what I was thinking too. How come we never see him on variety shows like this? Would be awesome, and would be food for memes for years to come

Japanese TV ftw!

It was breathtaking

Sh-Shoma?

3 hours! Woah! Will wait for videos then. (But what are they making Alina do there? )

We haven't even seen the original WakaJackson, and there're already changes?

Did I miss something? When did this show happen? ETA: Maybe I should've posted this in the Team Russia thread. But then Wakababy's there. Though I really find the most adorable Alina's great love for animals.

Those are some mean-looking burgers and fries. Another debunking of the "skaters are always starving themselves" myth.

She looks beautiful!

Hahaha omg. Fanyus scrutinize every photo taken in TCC under a microscope. I wouldn't be surprised if someone had already made a complex algorithm to scour the internet of all such photos the instant they appear

I am just imagining Russian Nationals now, or any other competition where Zhenya and Alina come head to head. It will be like a "choose your fighter" kind of situation. Not to mention Eteri will probably be throwing dagger looks Brian's way.
