@Anabel I've sent you the photo submission and also a short message, to include if possible, to your e mail Here's the photo. Hope that it is OK. The gold lettering did not photograph very well, but I think it looks fine enough Multi tasking, thought that the photo could contribute to virtual Pooh rain as well

I honestly think that there is a merchandising line here for Team Yuzu to explore. Not necessarily soakers, but bring back the costume themed water bottle covers or create costume themed beanie hats, scarfs, snoods or shopping bags. This could be a great line of merchandise because fans would be able to buy winter accessories in their favourite design.

Yuzu is very analytical and this is a useful experience with regards to his future strategies when dealing with press " it is all in my calculations, everything"

There is no other skater who could shine with the same beautiful light as Yuzu. Yuzu wearing Origin is like Apollo or Oberon made into corporeal form and translated to the modern world

The Daily Spread Eagle - August 12th ICE EMPEROR'S BROADCAST FROM ICE CAVES: A HUGE SUCCESS FOR EMPEROR HANYU The morning of August 10th began with a flurry of Court activity. Enormous sheets of white silk were hung at one end of the Throne Room, Ballroom and Inner courtyard. Chairs were arranged and all of the candelabras twinkled in the light of the sun and the lit candles. At eleven o' clock the daily routine of Palace Hanyu was halted and the staff began to file into the Ballroom and courtyard. At quarter to midday, Palace officials and the Jump Ladies entered the Throne room and took up their positions in the chairs at the front. Finally, Prime Minister Pooh hurried to the front of the Throne Room, requesting quiet just before the noon day bells began. As the last chime faded away, a hush descended on the Palace. For a few seconds nothing happened, Prime Minister Pooh started to wring his paws and his forehead was furrowed with a worried expression. Suddenly a gasp was heard from the jumps ladies, tiny flickering lights had appeared on the white screens of silk. The little lights danced across the white silk, red, green and blue dots winking and slowly enlarging until they began to overlap. A darker shadow was emerging from the centre of the screen where the lights coalesced. The image flickered one more time, then the face of the Emperor came clearly into focus, followed by 'Oohs' from the excited audience and exclamations of 'the Emperor', before once again melting into awed silence. The Emperor's face loomed out from the screen, for a moment he looked quite serious and stern, before his expression turned into his familiar smile. He waved at the gathered spectators and spoke. The Emperor's voice rang out "Good day, citizens and satellites of Planet Hanyu, very good day" The Emperor, explained that he would now begin showing the preparatory movements for performing the ritual of the Ice Caves. The Emperor seemed move away from the screen into the distance. As he did so the interior of the Ice Cave was revealed and the Emperor could be seen in the distance gliding to and fro across the Ice. The Emperor gathered great speed and as he did so a hint of shadow appeared at one side of the cave, the shadow grew larger and seemed to be matching his movements. The Emperor indicated that he had noticed the shadow and delicately placed his crown on the ice surface. The Emperor glided quietly around the floor of the cave, then in the blink of an eye he sped back towards the crown leaping into the air. For the briefest of moments, a curl of condensed breath swirled around the crown and a flash of a sinuous body covered in light golden scales could just be picked out at one side of the ice cave, the Emperor tried to turn rapidly in the air, flung out his hands and with his outstretched arms attempted to grasp the golden creature. Just as quickly, there was a flash of gold and the creature had disappeared from view, retreating to the depths of the Ice Cave complex. The Emperor said nothing, he merely bent down to retrieve the crown and replaced it upon his head. Murmurs arose from the crowd "was it?' "no it couldn't be" "impossible" "He nearly caught it" "Yonkaiten Ax...", to much shaking of heads and shrugged shoulders. For almost one hour, the Emperor slid smoothly across the frozen floors of the Ice Cave, spinning and jumping, swiftly gliding from around the cave. Each time the Emperor leaped into the air one of the Jump ladies would stand and then turn several rotations on the spot before resuming her seat, Lady 4T, Lady 3T, Lady 3A, Lady 3Lz, 4 Lo, on and on. The Emperor was not alone in the caves the oracle and assistants followed the Emperor's every move, their hands made a strange clacking sounds every time a jump or spinning movement was performed. The Emperor once again came close to the screen again and gave a short message to the throng. " I would like to improve myself and be the best Emperor, that I can be." With that the image on the screen broke apart into tiny motes of light before winking out. Prime Minister Pooh stood up and addressed the Jump ladies and Palace staff. "So ends the broadcast of Ice Emperor Hanyu a well deserved success I believe" The Palace was filled with sounds of much rejoicing and the court physician was relieved that none of the jump ladies had fainted. Ladders had to be brought to the Throne room in order to recapture the Shikigami, who had escaped during the broadcast and were hiding in the chandeliers, whilst everyone had been occupied.

That's interesting to know, similar to London I suppose. Yuzu and designer fashion items, as you say, he will be no stranger to designer goods. My surprise was only because Yuzu has been associated with Gucci in the past, his neck ties. Most often people prefer one particular fashion house over another, although not exclusively, of course. So in terms of Italian brands, Yuzu and Gucci were pictured in my head. In some workplaces in UK, especially in London, people ask you what designer brand you like and when did you buy your first _________insert brand ________ bag. In medical work places back in the 1990's, people used to like Mulberry bags and briefcases. Like Yuzu, my allegiance switched to Prada, a few years ago, sleeker and understated elegance, methinks Hehe Aplogies, I'm a shameless hand 'Bag' Lady

That's great to hear.

At least if Yuzu had been a concert pianist, there might have been more opportunity to see him. There are many concert venues around the world which are good sized venues and many of the performing arts already have streamed events to cinemas and tv and recording opportunities for filming performances for Bluray Just checking the livestream from yesterday: GMT 23:00 Views 1,836, 643 Likes 113K Comments 28,172 Channel subscribers: 578K The Yuzu effect

Twitter thread has appeared about the costs that Yuzu incurred to livestream the practice. Hopefully the interviews and photo shoot paid well and will allow Yuzu to recover part or all of the costs. It is no joke though, even if the estimated cost of the tweet is incorrect, this is the real world and events are expensive. Future performances will most likely charge a small fee to watch, otherwise they will not be financially viable and that would ultimately mean no further shows. For reference: 3M Yen = £18,486 = $ 22,551 For some people this represents one year's salary, it is a significant sum of money Yuzu very generously funded this livestream for fans to enjoy without charge. Yuzu's kindness is one of the may qualities which endears him to his supporters. Next time an event is planned, may it be the fans who show material support, as well as their best wishes for Yuzu It was Yuzu's choice to organise the livestream and it was a privilege to part of a joyous occasion. (sorry to put a dampener on proceedings)

In order to find out about Yuzu's singing abilities, someone should ask a fellow skater that stood on the podium close to Yuzu during the playing of Kimigayo. Yuzu has such respect for the national anthem of Japan that he would be bound to sing this as well as he possibly could. On camera he is definitely singing whenever the anthem is played. Keegan Messing held the Hinomaru, so that it unfurled at Autumn Classic 2019, Yuzu would have been facing Keegan so Yuzu's singing voice would have been clearly heard by him. Most importantly, Yuzu would not have been wearing head/earphones, which can sometimes cause a little bit of voice tuning issues There are of course many medal ceremonies where Yuzu is champion and Kimigayo is played, but the AC 2019 is most likely the best bet for investigation, if some amateur sleuthing is required.Come on Keegan tell the Planet - What is Yuzu's singing voice like?

From the sophisticated photo shoot images To the always so cute, penguin run

@SuzyQ The App seems to recognise that Yuzu is male more consistently - 4 out of 4. It is still having trouble with the age, although it is difficult because Yuzu has such a youthful visage

Yes, as above Now that Yuzu is professional athlete. Hopefully, there will soon be a 'Team Yuzu' to start handling PR, public events, announcements and an address for enquiries and fan mail. Once that has been confirmed and there is a suitable address for Yuzu mail, the photobook will have a destination, Yay

24h TV appearance, White Legend in Wisteria costume Satomi Ito's ethereal creations for our very own Muse It is one of my favourites, along with Tenchi costumes This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS].

The Daily Spread Eagle - July 14th 2022 Planet Hanyu's most read newspaper Warning issued for all satellites around the Planet. Pooh geologists have been monitoring Mt Irene and a worrying increase of activity has been noted Rumblings have been heard from the environs of Mt Irene. Dust and gas could be throw into the upper atmosphere causing disruption to the normally smooth operating conditions for satellites. Risk of reduced concentration, tuning into the ISU website by default and Twitter communication overload Prime Minister Pooh has ushered all of the Jump Ladies into the Palace Throne room to await the arrival of the Ice Emperor and to prepare for an announcement which may herald another important sojourn into the world of international ice arenas. The court seamstresses are working day and night to finish the Ice Emperors wardrobe in time for the sojourn. The court musicians are practising day and night. Pooh Forest bird population have become extremely agitated. Some have even taken up roost in the gardens of the Ice Palace and there are reports of a deafening cacophony of Shu Paa calls made by the flock. The palace Poohs are issuing umbrellas to protect Planet visitors from the swooping birds. All satellites and Planet inhabitants have been advised to eat honey and drink plenty of juice box liquids and to avoid consumption of paprika

With regards to future livestreams, I must say that I would be willing to pay to see the online event. Yuzu or Yuzu's sponsor will have funded this inaugural event in order that all of Yuzu's fans have been able to access this livestream event. This was especially generous not just in terms of allowing views without payment but also to communicate Yuzu's own plans for his professional career and also allay some of the inevitable worries that fans and supporters had following the going professional announcement. Without laboured details, speaking for myself I did not know what Yuzu's announcement meant for fans and understandably like many other fans was not even sure, if, when or how it would be possible to see Yuzu skate. Competition appearances, Ice Shows in Japan and tv charity appearances were all there was to go on and competition involvement was over. Today, it was a real privilege to join the livestream and see Yuzu skate but also gauge what professional skating means to Yuzu and how that might translate to performances both live and on line. Producing events will require an initial investment of capital, how these events are being funded is not yet known. However, realistically events cost money and fans cannot rely on free performances in the future. Even if Yuzu has lots of financial backers, they will be business arrangements and the backers, will at some point want to realise their investments. Next time an event is aired, there may be a charge before being able to access the event. Unfortunately, that's reality. Personally, I really wish to see Yuzu's future projects and if those need funding through ticket sales or pay per view or paid subscription, that is just business. This is Yuzu's livelihood now and I would like to see his plans succeed, because they are commercially viable. Yuzu has made comments before, that he is very aware that fans make a huge effort to show their support and that attending shows is costly. I believe that Yuzu will ensure that the events are priced fairly in order to be as accessible and affordable for as many fans as possible.

Yuzu is a truly inspirational athlete. Demonstrating the dedication to practice, willing himself to take on new challenges and perfecting the performances that are his vision of ideal figure skating.

This is another great tribute from Yamakai san. He is even wearing the marbled effect shirt. Clearly a huge admirer of Yuzu. Loved his interpretation of Rondo Thanks for posting

A show in Sendai, please, please. Let's all go together to support Yuzu and contribute to the local economy in Sendai. Would be wonderful, a satellite group holiday and shows and proper Pooh rain.

Oh splendid, well done finding the photo. I could not find it again. Thank you

Yuzu and elegant Italian products. A match made in fashion heaven. Maybe Brioni will create a suit for him. ( Tailors to 007 for the latest films, they created a well fitted suit, which was intended to withstand the rigours of secret agent life !)

Hanyuconomy Eagle eyed fans spotted that Yuzu has a small wash bag ( 2nd pic on the table )- brand=Prada Any bets that the wash bag and the range it is from will be sold out by end of trading today. There was a better photo, but Twitter is so replete with tweets I could not find it again. Prada fan myself so I'm pleased to have something in common with Emperor Yuzu

Yuzu will need a team to sort out these types of details, both for future Share Practice and for shows. Early days, there are bound to be a few small wrinkles to be smoothed.
