Beautiful message and composition. I'm so impressed that you have Edea skates. Pooh looks happy

This captures the emotion of the performance

Yuzu has mentioned that he is studying dance from videos, because his presence at a dance class might be disruptive. The Ballet dancer Yamakai has made tributes to Yuzu, inspired by Yuzu's programmes - Rondo and Parisienne Walkways so far. Imagine if the next SharePractice was a collaboration of Yuzu taking a dance lesson under the tutelage of Yamakai. They are both supremely talented, athletic and committed to the continued evolution of their respective performance pursuits, it would be really fun and also productive When Yuzu starts a fan communication page and there is some provision for fan requests, this will be one of my suggestions.

There are 3 recognised take off techniques for Axel jumps with a nice little demo video to accompany this. The twitter thread points out how clean the ice marks are for Yuzu's 3A, referencing Yuzu's second video on the Hanyu Yuzuru channel. Axel a la Yuzu is take off 1 = super clean Axel, one of Yuzu's signature jumps. Yuzu was instructed by Tzusuki sensei that the Axel is the King of jumps. If Yuzu's 3A has >90% success rate throughout his senior competitive career, in my humble view, surely this equates to Yuzu being the King of Axel Jumping.

Yay, YT channel Hanyu Yuzuru, has made it to 650K subscribers. Creeping upwards. SharePractice views: 2,517,711 Comments:40,431 Likes: 126K Seeing how much interest and support is truly amazing and validating for Yuzu

Just a bit of rambling Thinking about Yuzu and the 4A When Yuzu feels that it is ready to his satisfaction he will show it, in a programme, glorious and complete. If he wants to have it ratified, he will find a way, if that is still important to him. Even if it's at a smaller comp- challenger series are still ISU comps. In 4 years time, who knows what will have occurred, maybe ISU will be in such disarray, financially and exposure of corruption etc. they may well need total reform and the existing council swept away with interim council appointed by external body. There may come a time where figure skating will need saving. If any super star hero can save the entire FS world from collapse it will need to be someone of mega star status to bring interest and money back. The only viable skater will be Yuzu - not just because he always was, is and will remain the best, in the history of FS, but because none of the created replacements are good enough. The scoring fiasco saw to that, they never needed to excel or push themselves. For most retirees, they also do not maintain their comp level or evolve. That's why shows can be a bit razzle dazzle and lots of fun but none of the thrills 'edge of seat moments' like comps. In the future, just like the years that spectators have been spoiled for the last 12 comp seasons, only Yuzu captivates viewers. Hence, when FS needs overhauling as a whole and someone restores the essence of how men's FS should be, only Yuzu will be able to fit this bill ( and bring balance to the Force I mean FS ) Thank you kindly for your indulgence

Well done, that is the photo posted on Twitter, which I saw but could not find again for @Yuzuwinnie Danke Anni, for fantastic detective work

There's definitely nutrition and diet professional on team Yuzu

Yes, you are welcome. The barley has benefits including vitamins if it's own A and C and good source of fibre, plus good source of natural free radical scavengers, which is probably important when undertaking strenuous exercise, like skating. Added benefit, energy boost without the sugars seen in some energy gels, which give sugar rush and are bad for teeth.

I was thinking along similar lines, that people watched someone not just practising, but also putting on skate boots, taking vitamin and energy supplements, drink from a bottle, blow their nose, check a phone that they say they don't have and pet a teddy bear. Not only that but either stayed up very late or got up crazy early to watch and then have saved and rewatched the same video... and would gladly do so again.

Otonal Kitty Someone posted a picture in twitter of the powder sachets from the share practice, some kind of barley powder, maybe for energy?

Seimei colours and sporting his new wings, antenna still present, yay

So many artists inspired to create gorgeous Yuzu tributes

Old Man Pooh san, this is quite sad. Feeling your pain to be parted from your beloved Yuzu. He should have been relaxing On the brighter side he can be: 1) Relieved to see that he has a good deputy 2) No more travel to competitions with Yuzu trying to appear OK about his scores in K&C 3) There will be exciting shows and other projects to attend, when Yuzu comes to fetch him.

More share practice These fanarts are brilliant. All of the previous posts have captured the SharePractice with real fidelity, very impressive indeed

just a guess: Yuzu has clearly had substantial input into the designs of his new 'professional brand' and worked with expert teams. Both the YT channel plus the logo are brand new, in fact the channel didn't even have a banner when it was launched. The jacket is also something new with the name and coloured piping. Once the order for the jacket was submitted the stitched embroidery cannot be altered, whereas a digital creation such as the banner and logo can be edited. Perhaps the company which made the YT banner and logo were able to accommodate a 'last minute' change in the name, in order to reflect the Japanese manner, but for a manufactured item like the jacket, it was already produced and could not be altered.

Daily Spread Eagle - August 2nd 2022 Ice Emperor Issues a New Decree Henceforth, there will be no further annual sojourns. Following the eruption of Mt Irene on July 19th 2022, a river of molten gold poured out from a gargantuan fissure, from the sides of the volcano. The gold formed a large lake at the base of the mountain and obliterated the pestilential overgrowth of Paporika plants. Forestry worker Poohs have been collecting the liquid gold and ensured its safe transfer to the Palace. The jump Ladies had already been gathered at Palace Hanyu and had been eagerly expecting announcement of this year's sojourn. Palace officials have reported that the ladies were astonished and somewhat disappointed, when the Ice Emperor declared that the annual sojourn was instead cancelled. The sojourn destinations had included some of the Emperor's favourite places - Moomin Valley in Finland, a new opportunity to pay respect to the vaunted blade smiths of Sheffield in the United Kingdom and Torino in Italy, land of the chocolate roses. However, the Emperor expressed that he had misgivings regarding the reception that he might receive, which in recent years had become increasingly unwelcoming. As a result the Emperor announced his final decision that he will no longer undertake the yearly sojourns. The Emperor travelled throughout the lands of Planet Hanyu to deliver this message in person. Envoys from Earth gathered to hear the Emperor speak of his decision and there were many requests for an audience with the Emperor to discover the reasons behind his decision and to pose questions as to what the Emperor's plans might be. The Emperor spoke of how much he had enjoyed making the yearly sojourns and presenting the most beautiful stories from Planet Hanyu to the inhabitants of Earth, but that he wished to spend time and effort on bringing the stories of Planet Hanyu to a different audience. When pressed further about his plans, the Emperor responded in an enigmatic fashion, stating that he hoped that people would continue to enjoy the stories that he wished to convey from the rich culture of Planet Hanyu. The envoys asked the Emperor when and how he would bring these stories, but again the Emperor replied that he had not yet decided, but it would be soon. The envoys begged the Emperor to explain everything more clearly but the Emperor declined and took his leave. Prime Minister Pooh has given the following official statement issued from Ice Emperor Hanyu: Ice Emperor Hanyu is now on retreat in order to spend time on the creative processes required to showcase the stories of Planet Hanyu. During the Emperor's time in seclusion, Palace Hanyu will undergo decoration using the gold from Mt Irene. All envoys must return to Earth to await further announcements and invitation to attend the Emperor on his return. Palace Hanyu will not be receiving visitors whilst the Emperor is in absentia The Court Circular / Society pages There has been much speculation as to the whereabouts of Emperor Hanyu. Many envoys, Planet Hanyu citizens and satellites believe that the Emperor has journeyed to the fabled Ice Cave of Sendai and will seek enlightenment there. It is also thought that he may also be attempting to locate and then tame the mythical ice beast Yonkaiten Axel. It has been rumoured that the court musicians and tailors have received instructions from the Emperor and their work is now TOP Secret. The musicians and tailors have retired to the Palace ballroom and sewing studio respectively and locked themselves inside. Only the most trusted Pooh retainers communicate with them and bring their requested supplies. In further news: A multitude of artisan Poohs have been seen entering Palace Hanyu and there will be there for some time. Wagon loads of barrels containing enough honey to last many months have been delivered to the Palace.

Daily Spread Eagle - July 20th 2022 Rumblings from Mt Irene caused massive eruptions of vapours and strange gravitational fields causing satellite orbits to be severely disrupted and erratic functioning issues. Pooh geologists report that these effects could continue intermittently throughout the next few months. The geologists who monitor the activities of Mt Irene have extrapolated many years worth of data and conclude that the activity of Mt Irene is linked to the activity of Planet Hanyu's Emperor. Seismic shifts in behaviour or actions may have a sympathetic response from the volcano. The Ice Emperor made an important announcement to the palace Jump Ladies and Pooh inhabitants which was the source of Mt Irene's eruption. Geologists reported that a chasm appeared on the side of volcano facing the palace and that liquid gold spilled forth cascading down the side of the volcano. The gold has created a shallow pool which engulfed and eradicated the paporika weeds. The liquid gold is expected to solidify within the next few weeks. The path that the gold took as it poured down the volcano sides has left an interesting golden tracery pattern resembling the wings of a bird. Some even claim that they are the wings of a swan but others say the wings resemble those of a dragon. Some of the forestry worker Poohs have taken the opportunity to collect some of the gold as it will be useful for decorating the palace and creating a new throne and Imperial regalia. The court physician recommends continued adherence to the prescription regimen advised for satellites in yesterday's news Prime Minister Pooh is awaiting further instruction from the Emperor regarding Palace refurbishment and daily regimen for the Jump Ladies The Emperor's most recently issued statement: "I will work harder to be the best Emperor that only I can be, thank you for your continued support, please keep supporting me." The Palace received messages from envoys and ambassadors from other galactic regions, in support of the Ice Emperor PM Pooh advises satellites to read news and announcements from Planet endorsed sources only, otherwise there is considerable risk to satellite working operations.

Part of the poem that was read out following Yuzu's Gold Medal performance at PyeongChang Olympics A Poetic tribute to the athlete who embodies 'poetry in motion'

Cutie with 'floofy' just skated hair

This is really heartwarming to see. Yuzu likes to win and he enjoys all of the medal wining performances, but medals and titles are not everything. I hope that this demonstration of fan support shows Yuzu how much of a champion he is in the minds and hearts of his supporters. The door will always be open to an athlete of Yuzu's calibre. A return would depend on how warm the welcome would be. ( There may even come a time, when the powers that be will need him to return, in order to save them ) " I am a shadow on the wall, I'll be the one to save us all" - Blow Me Away, by Breaking Benjamin
