  1. Listening to the music is a lovely way to evoke the memories of Gift and connect with the incredible emotions that were experienced that day. A legend was created that day Hope that Yuzu will open some of his future ice shows arriving as the magnificent Firebird, he was truly splendid. Ahh one can only hope and dream
  2. Hanyuconomy in action. Good news for those who ordered prologue goods. It seems that the Prologue supply factory has been working over time and the manufacturing Poohs have been working around the clock to fulfil the orders
  3. A tutorial with Yuzu, can you imagine "Konnichiwa minna san, how nice, Hanyu Yuzuru desu figure skeeto. First you must grow warmer like the sun, reaching upward growing tall like the grass until you bloom. These jumps are your friends. Let's go - fast spread your wings aaaand shu pah. Once more. Well done you are like stars" Sorry could not resist Do you recall someone posted from Notte audience that they heard Yuzu from behind the curtain saying "shu pah" and surmised that he was preparing himself to perform Conquest of Paradise, undoubtedly this is what was happening. On reading their account I thought for a few seconds what if this was Yuzu trying to teach Kohei the principles of FS jumps!!! Hehe just a fun thought
  4. People are able to post from twitter, instagram and imgur Hope that helps
  5. Watching the compilation videos of Yuzu's old programmes interspersed with live performance was a really inspired way fro Yuzu to ensure breaks for himself and keep the flow of the story. The amount of fantastic material for Yuzu and fans to look back on is one of those treats to sit curled up with and watch on a rainy day. At the beginning of Gift Yuzu said that the programmes are your friends, like good friends they really give cheer when it's needed. The emotional investment that Yuzu puts into each programme is his way of connecting with fans. o grateful for TV Asahi and of course Yuzu for sharing this day 2 show with us. The twt campaign for prologue is trending at over 24K tweets. Hope that the outpouring of gratitude will encourage TV stations to continue their interest in Yuzu and broadcasting on their TV channels This is also very validating for Yuzu and a lovely way for fans to come together and show their support and affection. Have a wonderful day

  7. As you say, it was 'claimed' at the conference that TR and IN would be incorporated into other categories and a multiplication factor applied to PCS to calculate score. It was also stated that special movements would be rewarded as part of choreo seq. Again it was reducing the need for a complex programme, for skaters who are not able to execute such movements well. One such example, from a few months back. Someone wrote a very comprehensive article about doughnut spins and it was quite obvious to see from the shape of the spin, some skaters just flexed the leg at the knee joint and grabbed the skate, but the doughnut shape was lacking because the form lacked the 'O' shape in so much as there was no hyper extension of the back to create the 'O' shape. The poorly executed doughnut was awarded high score - GOE and contributed to high PCS score even though the bullets were not achieved. From this it is possible to consider the adequacy and consistency of adjudication of individual elements which make up a programme and whether the human eye is perceptive to make such judgement.
  8. This year has been a real cross roads for the governing body, feds and skaters. Glad to see at least one skater with decent skating skills on the podium, well done Jun Jumping can be very exciting, but not so much if it becomes the sole focus of a skate, not even going to grant such skating with the classification of being a programme, because it is not. For a tiny moment there was a little concern that empty jumping could grab silver and then be touted as being better than Yuzu at same age, winning bronze. Young Yuzu winning bronze at World's 2012 with a rich and full programme, laced with the raw emotion of a young impulsive Romeo, fighting on despite the slip, looking back puts the jump fest to shame. Scoring is still an issue with rotation - pre and under, edge calls or not, height and distance, exit speed to achieve bullets needs a complete overhaul. This is 2023, camera and AI tech is readily available. Pretty much all sports are developing technology appropriate for good quality adjudication suitable to the individual sport and involving experts in the relevant fields to ensure that it done correctly. The paying public are becoming increasingly vocal about the many and varied controversies and no longer can be dismissed by those in charge. There has been much discussion about this, but inevitably if the sport is to survive people want to see a genuine and fair competition where skill and a little luck win the day.
  9. Wow the detail of all the various Seimei costume incarnations, very clever crafting
  10. YuzuSakura watch. People have very kindly been visiting the Yoko tree and posting updates. The buds have erupted through the protective sepal case and the petals will unfurl very soon. In the nemophila ground cover is a very pretty shade of blue, much favoured in Yuzu's costume colours
