Yes I'll try. I went to open prosecco

Yes about subtitles. I have zero idea what's going on The personal stories and fund raising is still inspirational. I'm just guessing that everyone featured had done something amazing for this charity event

Yuzu with a little friend from 'Down Under'

The musical edit that Yuzu used for his short programme Roncapu, the music is only 2 min 50 for the performance. The full length piece contains a development section which transitions into the flair of rapid trills and spectacular arpeggios and a lilting, warm, lyrical section. This was not included in the SP. The music was originally composed by Camille Saint Saens for the violinist virtuoso Pablo Sarasate. The violin performance is something quite different from the precision of the piano arrangement. When Yuzu performed Roncapu, SL Bourne mentioned in her interview about the choreo, that the piece was a reflection of Yuzu's skating life, the isolation, light of performing, introspection, the cold of the rink. This may seem a little melancholic, but there is also the joy of creating things alone with the rink as a blank canvas upon which to work, being able to concentrate without interference. Being alone is not necessarily lonely, Yuzu has even stated that he needs these times alone to be able to focus. It will be interesting if Yuzu uses more of the music, the musical theme repeats in terms of rhythm and cadence, hence the use of the term restatement. Perhaps, using a longer version of the composition, using parts of the piece which venture into the lyrical part of the piece, the expression 'cantabile' comes to mind meaning singing. Yuzu skating to a longer edit (and possibly even using a violin performance) might symbolise Yuzu moving forward. Now that Yuzu is liberated from competitions, he is rediscovering the creative freedoms of programmes, without time constraints and rules of mandatory elements. Yuzu is very much the soloist and maestro. This inaugural performance as o professional athlete is greatly anticipated and certain to be an even greater masterpiece. Thank you kindly for your indulgence. This performance is by Maxim Vengerov, virtuoso violinist

@Pammi Lovely photographic compositions are art, you are quite right to say so. Some people have chosen to take pictures of themselves or Pooh at local landmarks and beauty spots, for the message to Yuzu, to show the global nature of the fan base and also show places which have meaning to their lives

What a lovely scene. I wish that I had a little play house like this, with Sakura Pooh to serve ice creams for me.

That is a really lovely message. In old folk lore, to find a single feather on the ground on the path where you walk is said to ensure a safe journey. Thank you for sharing

I know, poor Pooh san. Hope that he had enough honey supply to sustain him. Perhaps Yuzu managed to set up letter box delivery boxes of fudge or maple candy for Pooh sanMaybe Pooh will be slim, like Ghislain, by the time Yuzu is able to fetch him

Yes for sure, unless, it is Old Man Pooh san himself

One of the satellites tried Yuzu's hot chocolate recipe. They did not put so much cream or marshmallows, but they commented that candied ginger was very warming and nice. I don't believe that they used quite so much of the chocolate melted into the drink. Unless a person does as much physical workout as an elite athlete, like Yuzu, the drink is essentially one entire day's recommended calorie intake !!! I think that I would gain at least 1kg if I consumed Yuzu's hot chocolate, of course, that's if I didn't spill it, in all the excitement of Yuzu handing me a hot beverage

You are so lucky. That's a lot of gum, chocolate and hot chocolate purchases. Worth every penny though, yes? Did you manage to get the skating spoons as well?

Such a lovely anthology of artwork

Queen and then Emperor, makes sense. Who will be next in line? Who is the Heir to the Chocolate throne?

Lotte may have a sponsorship deal with JSF with years to go and the compact cannot be broken without incurring heavy penalty. Maybe, maybe not. I did not even mind the bizarre white frilly jumpsuit or the Granny nightie or even dubious photoshop, it gave us all a laugh and Yuzu was still gorgeous. He didn't care, he looked like Teen Angel from Grease. The chocolate tempering and hot chocolate making CM were really cute For non Japan residents, everyone was really envious about the gifts with purchase. Lotte must have made a lot of money having Yuzu as a featured celebrity to market their products. It will be interesting to see who becomes the featured celebrity in the CM's and to monitor how sales go. I'm sure that people bought products that they didn't really need, just for the Yuzu gifts

In this interview, Yuzu describes the jumps as friends, it is from 2017. There is a more recent interview which I cannot find, where Yuzu says the jumps are like children or possibly friends, can't recall accurately, so yes they may still be friends rather than children. Most importantly, Yuzu says that the Quad Axel is himself. Yuzu doesn't talk about 4A in the 2017 interview

Hehe cute ears. Mewzuru Nyanyu blast from the past

Lovely thread - Yuzu vs selfies, using other peoples phones.

Very fitting for a super hero who can fly

@Yuzuwinnie You asked about the supplements from SharePractice, so this may already have been posted One of the supplements is Magma Barley, the other one is amino acids. Now we know the supplement secrets for elite athletes. Amateur sleuthing success This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS].

Many fans really engaged their imaginations and have given suggestions about what they might like to see from Yuzu, on various social media platforms. Twitter ran some sort of "ask Yuzu" a message campaign a few weeks ago. Participants could submit challenges to Yuzu for future projects that they would like to see. @Henni147 made an inspired set of challenges, 'cinematic' skating with dramatic backdrops and sound system. The purpose being to present Yuzu's magnificent programmes with the scene set for each, to truly showcase the story. I'm guessing that that is the challenge Henni wanted to convey. I paraphrased this in a post few days ago. My 'wish' by comparison was rather boring and practical: for shows to be accessible for fans who are non resident in Japan, either organising/ allocating some tickets for purchase by fans who don't have Japanese credit card nor address, plus touring show in Europe or North America. Complete outside chance that Yuzu has been working in the field of Theoretical Physics, as a side project and has solved some of the equations that have been perplexing those in the Science community for ages. Solutions to those equations would be pretty unimaginable for quite a lot of people

Dear Ice Rink Sendai, Continue restocking the Irene gloves. You will never be short of funds or affection for the rink. Please consider building a new and larger rink, with spectator stand for shows and regional or national competitions. Keep the old rink for practice sessions. Yours sincerely, P xx (Just my tuppence worth of advice/opinion. Please don't be offended)

Yuzu Art Exhibition - reservations to see it at the Sendai location can be made now. For satellites who reside in Japan who can book to see the exhibition, really hope that you can secure a ticket and thoroughly enjoy seeing all of the Yuzu memorabilia and photos.

Hanyu san, it would seem that the Galaxy is your oyster The nebula and piping on the jacket are the same colour
