  1. It is as always complicated. To summarise: Press /interviewers always ask about coaching whenever people retire, pretty generic question for those who have not bothered to research the person being interviewed. Couple of problems - Yuzu is not retired, he has changed to professional and is currently engaged with many projects, because he wants to expand rather than constrain his outlook. Coaching in the regular sense would draw Yuzu back into the clutches of ISU and put him and his students at the mercy of the scoring issues that Yuzu himself has been subjected to. Nobody with a heart or conscience wants to see this ever again. From a personal viewpoint, this type of coaching is too parochial for someone with a galactic intellect and other refined aspirations, that is whole other discussion in itself with no disrespect intended towards hard working coaches. Yuzu is using his time wisely, to heal and move forward and to present his personal vision of skating and continue to acquire knowledge, skills and other technical challenges. There is also his thesis in AI, the collaboration with top AI team is potentially really interesting for Yuzu's future plans/ideas. In the meantime Yuzu's destiny seems to be heading in a different direction, at least for the present time. If Yuzu ever decides that he might offer coaching, it may or may not be directly involved in the technical aspects of figure skating but a more abstract form of coaching, for example forging the mind set for a champion. Yuzu's demonstrations of the pinnacle of skating are valuable learning materials for any figure skater or coach who possess a receptive attitude.
  2. Fantastic idea in theory but Dome is probably going to be hosting other stuff like baseball or something and booked up. TD most likely gave Yuzu available dates to choose from. This is all more persuasive to build a rink with 15K or more seating just for Yuzu and call it Ice Palace Hanyu. Please Please
  3. Perhaps even coordinating costumes on a theme - Ice and Fire, Moon and Sun. So much speculative excitement. What has been really wonderful for Yuzu is being able to interact with peers. People like Kohei and Shinya are figure heads in their own spheres of expertise. They have nothing to prove and have no need for one up man ship. It must be enlightening and refreshing for great minds, great talents to be able to meet, engage in dicussion and share knowledge. Each of the disciplines has different challenges but also the similarities when it comes to achieving excellence. This is how the the previous eras like the Renaissance, the age of Enlightenment made huge leaps forwards - when great minds have chance to expand ideas.
  4. I have seen baka used in the context of being a fool or doing something foolish
  5. Summer King Winter King Let's concentrate on the important issues, will Kohei also have a sparkly costume like Yuzu?
  6. What could be more GOATed than being in one of the most exclusive clubs in existence 'the two times Olympic Champions club' Is this the hashtag? #五輪2連覇同盟 Almost fell over the salt mountain laughing, because silver medallists- access denied, one gold medal - membership application rejected. Sorry not sorry idc already on the naughty list
  7. Super fast translation, yay Really enjoying this interaction already between the Summer and Winter Kings. 'The Winter King' was the title of a novel, a reworking of the Arthurian legend. King Arthur is representative of chivalric ideals and hailed as the 'Once and Future King' very apt to describe Yuzu
