To cheer people up whilst we wait for the press con. This is cute, Yuzu with giant Soohorang and Bandabi. Really big, just like the Cosplay Fan that fell on the ice at Skate Canada ( just joking - it was a huge teddy bear Pooh )

It's been discussed how much suspense it is for fans desperately wanting to hear news about ISU assignments for Yuzu and other skaters, it must be making the skaters themselves very anxious indeed. At least one member of Team Japan has found an amusing way to deal with the wait. The obvious deficiencies in the administrative organisation of the governing body is atrocious.

Global domination Yuzu style, it would be amazing It's astonishing that Yuzu has not graced more covers of magazines other than Aera and Anan. The photos from the skating content sell and are reprinted and sell repeatedly, the publishing houses are on to a very good thing. Printing Yuzu photos aka printing money

@LiaRy Maybe the dancing classes are for Yuzu's new career in J Pop

Maybe Yuzu is setting up a skating school in Tohoku ( to rival Nagoya ) Someone mentioned: If he was going to patent his AI/ motion capture tech, Yuzu would have done so prior to publishing the thesis. Most inventions are patented very early on in their inception in case of intellectual property cases in the future

Good gracious, maybe it's time to officially declare that I have psychic powers or is it elementary deduction?

He's invented hypoallergenic cats

Good point. It will potentially put a time limit on the Grand Prix venue and skater allocation announcements. There may be concrete foundation on which ticket purchasing decisions may be made with reasonable confidence

Just went to JSF website Sure enough Yuzuru Hanyu is still listed as strengthening player. Yuzu has always been considerate. I have mentioned this before, undoubtedly he would have informed JSF about any plans regarding not competing prior to the new competition season, because Yuzu would want funding for training to be allocated to an actively competing skater. He would not inconvenience the admin and financial staff, pretending that he would stay active in comp and then not doing so, if he already had had plans not to compete in the upcoming season

WARNING massive speculation post OMG he's found a partner that he can lift or someone can lift him. He's swapping to Ice dance. Although this is less likely because no jumps and Yuzu wants to debut 4A Sorry sorry super sorry just carried away momentarily edit typo

Here's more of fantasy skating championship. Yuzu will announce that he has perfected the 4A. He learned from his 9yo self to determine the axis and entry into the jump is conventional, not his signature back counter. Following Nanami Sensei's advice, he did not forget his beginner's mind. Yuzu will have to compete in an ISU competition for the 4A to be ratified. ( JNats does not count as it's not ISU comp ) People have often asked the question, did Brian know what a phenomenon Yuzu would become. Brian most certainly recognised talent, but Nanami Sensei and Tsusuki Sensei they knew. Which is why it was Nanami Sensei Who advised Yuzu to seek a training placement abroad. It was she who knew the phenomenal talent that Yuzu would become. That is why under her encouragement, Nanami Sensei let him go to flourish elsewhere, instead of selfishly trying to keep Yuzu's glory to herself. She was and still is a truly inspirational teacher. A very humble opinion, thank you for your indulgence May the goddess Nike grant Yuzu sporting triumph and crown him once again as the true champion

@Sun_Rise @Yuzurella Both of you have. correctly quoted exactly what so many people say after they have met Yuzu. Yuzu is a modern day muse and people have quite an epiphany sort of experience, as he inspires them. Very recently I heard a speech and one the things this wise person said is that everyone through their words has the power to nurture or destroy and that people should try to approach everything that they encounter in life with kindness and act through kindness. Yuzu behaves in this way instinctively, reaching out to people with a generous heart.

@Yuzuwinnie Bought a very gorgeous Eric Bompard cashmere coat few years ago - Hanyuconomy

Incredible fan art Yuzu depicted with swords and as part cyborg, looks like the definition of 'to smite'

That is a sad testimonial, but there is also some positivity that the memory of seeing Yuzu skating live will give them hope and, as they say, sustain them through having the memory of his performance

2 Great interviews from Twitter today Thank you for posting

Go Loop "Yuzu the Force"

@Yuzurella Your last statement = True

Example of above How enchanting would it be to have a miniature Yuzu, like the models on the Lotte spoons, revolving inside a musical jewellery box? ( Just a little hint for the merchandise fairies )

Thank you for the Skating party. It was an excellent recap of the evolution and development of Yuzu's beautiful jumps and jumping technique and how gorgeous his spins are

For the Satellites who like onesies (For the Satellite who likes golden ruffles) Yuzu does some Ballet training

"Accio costume - incants name of specific costume"

There is a real art to performance costume making, the design, light but durable fabrics, fastenings, embellishments. So many considerations to create a beautiful piece of clothing that doesn't restrict movement yet still is able to project a particular character image. Sstomi Ito, Shizuka Orihara are immensely talented. There was a comment about the crystals, as many of Yuzu's costumes have thousands applied for maximum impact during the performance. Swarovski have invented a revolutionary manufacturing process for creating crystals with all of the scintillation but only half of the weight compared with the original crystals. Yuzu and other skaters, dancers and gymnasts can have enchanting costumes without being as heavily weighed down. A Chinese fabric manufacturer have invented an ultra fine lightweight chiffon/ organza fabric, perfect for floaty ruffles, fabric flowers, butterflies etc I'm very envious of satellites who were able to attend exhibitions where Yuzu's costumes have been on display. I would really enjoy examining the details of these wearable works of art

Ice Sheffield rink has limited spectator seating for 1500, maybe enough without Yuzu. The larger Utilita arena is scheduled to host an ice hockey match Nov 12. Large arena would be needed with Yuzu. No wonder there's organisational issues.

Agreed. Don't want to commit to ticket purchases unless assignments announced
