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

After the finishing pose of Seimei, Yuzu makes the hand gesture of closing - to contain the shikigami. Yuzu's attention to detail and staying in character for the entirety of the performance is always so awe inspiring

Yuzu did not Rippon the second jump in the sequence. It was really superb and I'm delighted that the performance lived up to what Yuzu wanted it to be

With that wonderful rendition of Roncapu, all of the ghosts of the past have been banished back to whence they came, and good riddance. With the performance of Seimei, the shikigami are contained so that they cannot wreak their mischief in the mortal realm. Hooray for Emperor Yuzu and Yuzu- Pooh The green lighting evokes the scene of Seimei running through the bamboo forest.

Performing Seimei with the green lighting evokes the scene of Seimei running through the bamboo forest

Closest thing to fairy tale ending Just want Yuzu to live happily ever after Yuzu is crying tears of relief and joy, I hope ( I am )

Yuzu performed all of the jumping passed perfectly. I'm ecstatic for him

Yes erase the trauma of the ice hole Oh no footage of the evacuation centre and the earthquake devastation

Yuzu to the music empire of angels, TSFH

It's starting. Stay calm everyone. Lots of love to everyone

Likewise

Hmm no subtitles available. It ok, I'll just nod and smile along with the presenters. I'm enjoying the show for the atmosphere, even if the whole thing is linguistically incomprehensible. As you might guess, my Japanese language learning is not brilliant

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

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
