Ah yes, of course

Yuzu arrives and runs off very swiftly, like a 00 agent in his suit. Is this Yuzu arriving in Osaka for the Phiten visit? I could not get a good look at the tie This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS].

Oh I thought Yuzu has gone to Osaka to attend flight school, so that we can all fly with Yuzu

Hi Everyone This is not really fanart, but I promised to share photo of the arrival of the VIP - very important Pooh, when he came to live with me. Here we have cousin to Old Man Pooh san, his companion 'Mini the Pooh' - who also arrived with him. Soohorang - Yuzu's supporter from PyongChang and who gladly stepped in to act in OM Pooh san's stead, when said Pooh was not allowed to be present in the Olympic arena. Moomin troll - Yuzu's friend and fan from the ice lakes and mountain forests of Finland. Moomim troll is a little star struck and his daffodil wilted, because he is clutching the stem so tightly in his excitement. "Hajime mashite, douzo yorushiku Pooh san and Mini the Pooh" Mini the Pooh is also a tissue case, for pocket packs

Everything that you have stated in your post is true, also facts and statistics back up what you have stated. I have also mentioned similar in previous posts, sorry to be repetitive: If anyone watched ISU congress, the lack of diversity of the council was shocking. Many business and financial experts are continuously exploring methods to engage women and the spending power that they have, with so called clever marketing strategies. The Film "The Colour Room" explores the above, very well, story about the pottery painter Clarice Cliff and what eventually became her iconic tableware. ISU will rue the day that the Golden goose flew the nest Once financial revenue is cut off for any organisation, the accounts can rapidly fall into disarray and this leads to a major audit. Old files/records are opened and all manner of secrets are laid bare. Budget deficit for the 2022-2023 season is already 4.5 million CHF, according to finance report discussed at ISU congress this summer Olympic funding is due to be reduced, for subsequent seasons to the tune of 2 million CHF annually.

Glad to hear you are feeling better. Hope that you have a speedy and full recovery. Sending healing thoughts. In years past, pre COVID Yuzu would have been practising for the first competition, Challenger series AC. There may even have been an airing of the works in progress almost complete at 'media day'. Fans would have been anticipating new programmes and costume reveal. The COVID years, Yuzu was hermit like and only attended comparatively few competitions. Newly minted pro athlete Yuzu is something of an enigma. What happens next is anyone's guess. Nessie has yet to be tamed. If there have been any choreography collaborations, they have been kept as a very closely guarded secret. If Satomi received a new costume commission, she has kept any Yuzu related work under wraps. So many mysteries to be unravelled and not even a hint at what may be afoot or when this might be announced.

Another excellent reason for Yuzu to visit Finland. All of the elements for the perfect skate are there in 'the Nature'. The scene and the skater would create an entirely magical event. Perhaps an attentive watcher might glimpse eye shine glinting from the forest. On a night filled with magic, might it be Pooh san's relatives and Moomin troll?

Rondo and Notte Stellata performed on a frozen lake under the stars is a wish for many satellites. It is a very beguiling idea. Ballet theatre scenery would be a good compromise, there are so many productions of Swan Lake, perhaps a theatre could lend some of their scenery artists to create something for Yuzu

Takahara san speaks from the heart. So glad that she told Yuzu what everyone feels, she is kind to let him know that medals do not matter and it it his quest for the 4A and even representing Japan at Beijing that are the important things. I have mentioned before, that there are many athletes from all disciplines who will never make the podium. When they become an Olympian, they give their nation representation at the World's biggest sporting event. They should be proud, win or lose, their nation is proud to see them compete. Yuzu shines in whatever he does and many Japanese people and his global fan base are really proud of him, rightly so Thanks

Please, please would someone kindly save the Yuzu portion. I'm not clever with tech so don't know how to save just that bit and not the whole news show

I've watched it 3 times using the scroll function

Triumphant Return for the Emperor

Yuzu is on now! Yay

iirc Someone posted this a few years ago with the following caption: " Imagine if some punk a** kid breaks into your sound system, takes it over, then skates around as if he owns the rink, until he falls over " !!! Still makes me laugh and pretty much true. Rock star Yuzu - yes you, the one over there that's making the audience scream. Rink staff should consider themselves fortunate that fans only throw soft toys and bouquets and occasionally their handbags onto the ice. ( unlike fans attending Tom Jones concerts )

Some one else's skid take off 170 degree pre rotated bAxel?

The Weekend Lutz - Daily Spread Eagle Special Edition Emperor Hanyu Performs Ice Cave Rituals and Broadcasts to the Planet A special message was sent from Ice Emperor that the entire court should gather at Palace Hanyu to view another ice crystal broadcast form Ice Caves Sendai. Prime Minister Pooh received the communication via crystal broadcast and was instructed to make suitable arrangements at the Palace for inhabitants of the Palace and Planetary satellites to receive the broadcast. Emperor Hanyu informed the Prime Minister that the preparation for ice rituals was now complete and that the Emperor wished to share this with the entire planet. The atmosphere in the Palace became increasingly joyful and the Jump ladies in particular became increasingly excitable and easily distracted from their duties. As the day of the broadcast drew closer the general mood within the palace was ebullient. The ladies would continually pester Palace staff for news and required constant reminders as to how many days before the Emperor would appear. The day of the broadcast dawned and the Palace was thick with an air of anticipation which pervaded all of the court activities. Eventually Lady 3A declared that as it was now nigh on impossible to focus on any of the daily routines, they should be abandoned in favour of preparing for the imminent broadcast. The ladies adjourned to the ornamental gardens, where a screen of white silk had been draped between two balconies and seated themselves on cushions, facing the screen. The Palace Poohs had prepared a the Emperor's favourite hotpot and drinks made with melted chocolate with candied ginger and marshmallows. The dusk settled over the gardens and the screen began to flicker with tiny firefly lights. The lights began to spread across the screen and eventually the scene of the Ice Cave interior was revealed. The caves were dark but illuminated with blue flames, the brightness of the flames increased and the Emperor stood on the centre of the cave. He was wearing a garment made from blue feathers tipped with gold, recognisable as the plumage of the male Shuu Paa bird. An ethereal melody began and the Emperor began to dance and glide across the ice cave floor. The music swirled and seemed to emanate from the cave walls themselves. The Jump ladies watched completely entranced. The Emperor moved smoothly across the ice faster, then leaping, turning this way and that, intricate steps, expressive arm movements, twirling across the ice floor. The music stopped then changed this time to a tune played by a flute and drums, the lights were now green like a bamboo forest. The performance told the story of a powerful mage and once again the Emperor wove a magic spell using a sequence of steps, twists and turns. As the flute notes faded, the Emperor threw his arms out wide to capture the universe, then he brought his hands together, palms facing one above the other, enclosing mischievous spirits to prevent them from causing trouble in the mortal realm. The Emperor was exhausted after his exertions, but his face was suffused with an expression of contentment and relief. He had triumphed over the demons of chaos and prevailed. The Emperor addressed the Jump ladies and Prime Minister, he assured everyone that he was well and making good progress with his endeavours at the Ice Caves. The Emperor declared that he had performed the End of Summer Ritual in the manner that he had always envisioned, and that this pleased him greatly. He hoped that the rituals would continue to have great meaning and lift the hearts of inhabitants and satellites surrounding the Planet. The Jump ladies were yawning now that all of the excitement was dissipating, Lady 3A ushered them all back to the Palace leaving Prime Minister Pooh to converse in private with the Emperor. The Planetary satellites whirled around the Planet sending messages to one another and to other planets and worlds. Everyone, including the Emperor was delighted with the resounding success of the rituals.

Sorry to hear that Sending caring thoughts and hug Hope things resolve smoothly. Let the Yuzu performance salve your heart and mind

Many thanks for the Skating Party

We have just witnessed the dawn of a new era. I keep smiling and feel so pleased for Yuzu. If there were any doubts about whether leaving the competition arena was the correct decision, the performance aired today confirms absolutely that Yuzu forging his own path as professional athlete is a definitely the best move for Yuzu.

Personally speaking, the performance witnessed today is the only FS that matters. I don't think I will bother to follow the sport anymore, nothing will compare. Yes, it sounds very spoiled, but time, the will to make an effort are finite. Today's Roncapu just makes me more determined to support Pro Athlete Yuzu

Yuzu is so pleased and delighted. So glad that he can finally be relieved of the burden that he must have been carrying from Beijing. Roncapu at JNats was the most fantastic debut for this masterpiece short programme, it is truly deserving of every accolade. Yuzu can enjoy Roncapu now with a light heart.

Wow you are so quick. For some reason I thought it was Empire of Angels, which I think was used for a Yuzu fan tribute previously, perhaps that was why I got mixed up. These are amongst my favourite modern composers Nick Phoenix and Tomas Bergensen. they compose individually and collaborate as Two Steps from Hell, the genre is known as "Epic Music" . There are many of their compositions which Yuzu could use. Their music has been used for video games, trailers, documentaries and there are lots of fan made videos using the music to celebrate games such as the Assassins Creed series on YouTube. One of titles is called 'Heart of Courage' - sums up Yuzu really
