Yuzu guzzling down the supplement powders

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

So many artists inspired to create gorgeous Yuzu tributes

Hanyu Yuzuru "Pearl of the Orient" Leaps as beautifully as a dragon and dances as gracefully as a phoenix ( paraphrasing ) The poetic descriptions that Yuzu inspires, once again demonstrating that he is truly a modern muse This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS].

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

Launching own line of training gear ?

Old Man Pooh San missing Yuzu. Although I can also envisage him being the cunning mastermind behind Yuzu's meteoric success - go train in Canada, music and choreography ideas, costume collaborations. Hehehe. I also hope that Pooh San managed to visit Niagara falls and his forest relatives to occupy himself whilst he's been apart from Yuzu

@Yuzurella Can you imagine the most gorgeous evening wear line, in collaboration with Satomi Ito and / or Shizuko Orihara, using his costumes as the basis for the dress designs. Wearing such an outfit, one would be the absolute Belle of the ball. ( The second designer is less often associated with Yuzu, she made some of Yuzu's costumes for the first few senior seasons e.g Etude and RJ 1, iirc )

Yesterday, I was joking about the Prada wash bag selling out, but Fanyu sleuthing enthusiasts prove once again that Hanyuconomy is real.

This series of art works really captures Yuzu's dynamism of movement

So soft

Thank you Admins and Mods for the lovely skating party Finishing with HYK was lovely, full of hope

Yes for sure. We will need a new thread 'Tickets for Show' can't wait

@Anabel @Umebachi The creative options are full of potential for both new and for perfecting old programmes. As one of the interviews stated, Yuzu is standing at the nexus point for a 'Commencement' a new dawn for himself and his own vision. This will be a really exciting period for satellites to continue following Yuzu's journey

You have the eyes of a falcon, to spot the UA logo. Well done, I did not even notice that detail

Thanks, yes please, see if you have better photo editor to enhance the 'gleam of gold'. I tried to play around with brightness, contrast, warmth settings etc. This one was the best out of the various edits. Yes, lots of Poohs, they were for Yuzu x6. 2 GP events + GP final, short and free programme in each comp. The Beanie Baby sized Poohs are gifts the friends that I've made on the Planet. I was planning to buy some more before attending the comps, but that is not happening for the moment. They will live with me for now, until we can go to shows and meet up.

I understand what you are trying to say. Freed from the formulae that the programmes must adhere to for comps, Yuzu will be able to evolve his programmes towards his ideals. There will not be the constraints to perform a given number nor limitations on variety of quad jumps within any given programme, same for the spins and other special movements. Length of a programme will be only limited by stamina and expression will not have to be sacrificed because another jump must be included for the sake to scoring extra points. Yuzu will have almost limitless freedom to create a well composed programme to express the music and the story, which will contain the technical elements that best fits the music and story that Yuzu wishes to convey. About right?

Oh Share practice Pooh is adorable. The details - piping on the jacket, shoulder bag and earphone, just superb
