Happy Tanabata Yuzu and Pooh san

Fly Yuzu

And this is super cute, also Nagoya? The little fuzzy scarf looks like a muppet tail

Not sure which show but it is a very happy Yuzu.

@Henni147 @Anabel The Planet will make the documentary and maintain artistic and content control in order for it not to be sugar coated schmaltz or go for up close camera work with side eyeing like 'the Office' or 'Best in Show 'just joking, please don't shun me

Yes, Yuzu is as serene as a swan on a lake

I want to write a fly yuzu on a canvas using gold letter stickers and gold feathers. Hopefully the supplies will arrive early next week. I've already prepared a board to stick the letters and feathers on to. I have made decoupage greetings cards as fan gifts for comps, now for shows and I will recycle the feathers to add to each card

Slightly off topic There was a discussion about the Yuzu exhibition. A real tour of the exhibition would be wonderful, but this might not be practicable. I really hope that the exhibition might be undertaken as a virtual reality experience, with merchandise on sale as well. I went to see the Star Wars identities exhibition of props and costumes when it went on World tour. I viewed it in London at the O2. Amazing to see all the things from the films up close, which only demonstrates that it is possible for exhibitions to go on tour. London is hosting a VR Van Gogh exhibition this summer. Whilst nothing compares with seeing the genuine article, works of art are difficult to move for obvious reasons and the VR experience makes viewing such pieces more widely accessible and it is still wonderful to see these works using a VR platform, next best thing.

Arrrghhh My craft supply order was lost. I have had to re order, so I'm really behind with the photo because I have not even started making my little tribute message

This is an incredible anthology of photos, documenting an incredible athlete. The photos have been put together by team who clearly have a lot of respect and admiration for their muse, Yuzu

Thank goodness, that is a relief The fanart is pretty at least

@Xiupia You are correct. The utmost care and attention to diplomacy is required.

This is from Shizuoka, like the phrase 'Yuzurandot' sums up everything about the performance perfectly. My heart, so soft Neko Yuzu

Yes click the video tab I also clicked the subscribe button, because then Youtube will let you know when more content appears from the channel. Subscribe button increases subscriber numbers and then the channel attracts more advertising. Once the channel becomes commercially lucrative it encourages further growth, so let's see if that will promote more content. Looking forward to seeing more footage of the show

Is this true about Yuzu attending a commemoration friendship event ?

This is so lovely

Yes, maybe this is one of those "If you build it, they will come" opportunities. Please Netflix Please Yuzu Yutopia Ice World ( just start digging the foundation trenches !!! )

Someone has gone one better and made the trailer for the series!!!!!! Maybe if there is huge interest, the big big hint will be taken

The Promotional gifts with purchase are really lovely - gift boxes featuring Yuzu photos and the little beauty bag with the ice skate. That is what we want as much as the products. I use Dr Perricone, Gatineau and Elemis currently so I'm interested to see how the Sekkisei skin product performance matches up. I want the tiny Yuzu signed ice skate, because if I put the charm on a necklace and wore it to shows, I would be more easily identifiable as Planet satellite

If only...... Yes please Netflix. Do it and you will never be short of subscribers to the end of time.

Sorry no link, because I cannot recall whether it was video of an interview or transcript from a written article. There are some videos of Yuzu on Youtube of Yuzu performing at Nebelhorn, where he is behind the boards and he is standing very close to Brian and Javi. They are staring at him with what seems like great interest. Anyone with a practised, expert eye would have recognised his talent immediately. Brian with his coach's eye, would have known this instantly. Yuzu was known for his successes at Junior GP and World's, but historically this does not always translate to success at senior level. The stats show that only 4 out of 39 Junior World Champions went on to win major titles at senior level. The Nebelhorn trophy really showed that Yuzu was the real deal. The videos from this comp are fan vids and sometimes they capture these snippets of interaction which perhaps professional camera persons did not bother to film. One thing I can recall, that season when Yuzu won bronze at WC Nice all of the commentaries was along the lines of this is the future of FS. Brian mentions his thoughts about Nice and that he also commented to Javi that this skater was someone to watch, or words to that effect. Again, sorry cannot remember the source, Brian speaks of being invited to Japan for skating business and then being invited to dine with Shirota san in order to meet a skater. Brian describes how astounded he was when he walked in and that skater was Yuzu. This was just after Nice. Nanami sensei had already spoken to Yuzu after Nice about finding a coach outside of Japan to help him to progress his skating further and she and Shirota san had been fact finding about where a good training base might be sought. There are a multitude of articles and interview videos and transcripts that they start to blur into one. Maybe the Planet should start an archive of important or pivotal moments for reference. We could basically start our own Biography/History project

This particular performance of Etude is especially poignant given that this must be Yuzu's first competition of the season, following the Great Eastern Earthquake. Yuzu spent the summer performing in ice shows in order to raise money for the disaster. The programme is also known as 'Sorrow' or 'Sadness'. The swell of the music represents the waves of the devastating Tsunami and Yuzu's costume evokes the image of Hokusai's painting 'the Great Wave of Kanagawa'. The natural light streams in from a huge window at one end of the rink, which also contributes to the overall atmosphere of the performance. It was at this competition that Brian and Javi really started to pay attention to this young skater from Japan, Brian mentions this in an interview about Yuzu. This was Yuzu's short programme for the 2011/12 season, which culminated with Yuzu's bronze medal at WC Nice, March 2012. To this day, this remains as one of my personal favourite performances, for the reasons above.

This is very stylish art work

Thanks for the info. RT and sent message hoping for Sekkisei launch in UK. I would definitely like to have skin as radiant as Yuzu's

@Sun_Rise @caramelicht @Anni Yuzu has made the decision to go professional and pretty much everyone agrees that this is the best for Yuzu going forward into the future. We respect Yuzu's decision, we are glad for the prospect of shows and we are relieved that Yuzu can now be away from the injustice that he has suffered in comp over the past years
