Such a lovely anthology of artwork

Queen and then Emperor, makes sense. Who will be next in line? Who is the Heir to the Chocolate throne?

Lotte may have a sponsorship deal with JSF with years to go and the compact cannot be broken without incurring heavy penalty. Maybe, maybe not. I did not even mind the bizarre white frilly jumpsuit or the Granny nightie or even dubious photoshop, it gave us all a laugh and Yuzu was still gorgeous. He didn't care, he looked like Teen Angel from Grease. The chocolate tempering and hot chocolate making CM were really cute For non Japan residents, everyone was really envious about the gifts with purchase. Lotte must have made a lot of money having Yuzu as a featured celebrity to market their products. It will be interesting to see who becomes the featured celebrity in the CM's and to monitor how sales go. I'm sure that people bought products that they didn't really need, just for the Yuzu gifts

In this interview, Yuzu describes the jumps as friends, it is from 2017. There is a more recent interview which I cannot find, where Yuzu says the jumps are like children or possibly friends, can't recall accurately, so yes they may still be friends rather than children. Most importantly, Yuzu says that the Quad Axel is himself. Yuzu doesn't talk about 4A in the 2017 interview

Hehe cute ears. Mewzuru Nyanyu blast from the past

Lovely thread - Yuzu vs selfies, using other peoples phones.

Very fitting for a super hero who can fly

@Yuzuwinnie You asked about the supplements from SharePractice, so this may already have been posted One of the supplements is Magma Barley, the other one is amino acids. Now we know the supplement secrets for elite athletes. Amateur sleuthing success This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS].

Many fans really engaged their imaginations and have given suggestions about what they might like to see from Yuzu, on various social media platforms. Twitter ran some sort of "ask Yuzu" a message campaign a few weeks ago. Participants could submit challenges to Yuzu for future projects that they would like to see. @Henni147 made an inspired set of challenges, 'cinematic' skating with dramatic backdrops and sound system. The purpose being to present Yuzu's magnificent programmes with the scene set for each, to truly showcase the story. I'm guessing that that is the challenge Henni wanted to convey. I paraphrased this in a post few days ago. My 'wish' by comparison was rather boring and practical: for shows to be accessible for fans who are non resident in Japan, either organising/ allocating some tickets for purchase by fans who don't have Japanese credit card nor address, plus touring show in Europe or North America. Complete outside chance that Yuzu has been working in the field of Theoretical Physics, as a side project and has solved some of the equations that have been perplexing those in the Science community for ages. Solutions to those equations would be pretty unimaginable for quite a lot of people

Dear Ice Rink Sendai, Continue restocking the Irene gloves. You will never be short of funds or affection for the rink. Please consider building a new and larger rink, with spectator stand for shows and regional or national competitions. Keep the old rink for practice sessions. Yours sincerely, P xx (Just my tuppence worth of advice/opinion. Please don't be offended)

Yuzu Art Exhibition - reservations to see it at the Sendai location can be made now. For satellites who reside in Japan who can book to see the exhibition, really hope that you can secure a ticket and thoroughly enjoy seeing all of the Yuzu memorabilia and photos.

Hanyu san, it would seem that the Galaxy is your oyster The nebula and piping on the jacket are the same colour

Share practice

Oops!. Oh it popped up on twitter today, so though it was new news

I cannot help thinking of Sean Bean giving the orientation talks for the induction of new employees at a company which makes tea. Hehehe Sorry slightly off topic, but imagine that kind of impassioned speech to promote what a wonderful athlete and inspiration Yuzu is. "Do it for Figure Skating" .... echoes reverberate around the rink, the crowd erupts and the rafters shake to cheers, applause, Pooh avalanche and not a dry eye in the house. Yuzu bows to all sides of the rink in turn and glides serenely back to boards to gather up Pooh san and Yuzu Pooh.

Yeah, but Sir Ian McKellen or Sir Patrick Stewart or Sean Bean, just as wonderful for voice over.

This season may well be the litmus test. Once the competitions restart and the programmes are presented and scored there may be a chasm between what is real and how highly inflated scores go. Attempts at erasing or overshadowing historic scores may lead to people speaking out. Some people like their cosy situations and will stay quiet so as to insulate themselves. On the other hand, as the power bases are eroded, people may have the courage to make public testimonials. The ultimate protest will be the boycott of competitions. Fans feel aggrieved at the way these sleights occurred, year on year. Many fans became disenfranchised and really only attended events to support Yuzu, their absence will be felt now that they will no longer attend competitions. Time will tell.

The fairy drawings are reminiscent of the Cicely Mary Barker illustrations, very pretty Some cute Neko Zuzu to go with the Cat's Eye and Fox Seimei art

Sendai are always proud of Yuzu. Yuzu is their regional treasure and they show how much he means to them. ( I have a soft spot for Nekomasamune ) This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS].

This is a really lovely support message and film, to celebrate Yuzu from his ever true and loyal blade smith. Considering that John Wilson Blades is based in Sheffield, I wish that they had used a well known British actor for the voice over - for example Sean Bean, who himself hails from Sheffield.

Yay, that's great news about lunchtime for Europe and UK and South Africa. I know how I will be spending Saturday afternoon, make a nest on sofa, pop bubbly, ahhhhh bliss

Neko to Kizune, kawaii

Can't quite manage that at the moment. Bitter, salty, bit more bitter, sour, petty.

Painful though it was to watch, I have seen all the footage from Beijing. If Yuzu had the courage to endure those terrible events, I felt that it was important to bear witness. It is etched into my memory and hurts to even recall what happened. Somehow, in a strange way, I know that I will never forget what happened there and neither will I forget what was inflicted on Yuzu during the season before PyeongChang and in the four years to Beijing, remotely via a screen it was a diluted experience, but I will remember. There is a famous saying:

WOW everyone Beautiful art works and photo compositions Lots of effort has clearly gone into these lovingly created compositions and messages The photo book will be a tangible reminder for Yuzu that so many fans want him to know how much his skating and he, himself means to them. The book can be his talisman of affirmation, having a physical object will carry a lot of meaning. There are wonderful tributes on line and Yuzu must receive many gifts. This photo and message book will be something that Yuzu will be able to look at easily should he ever need a little mood boost. For the contributors, we are really sending a hug in the form of the creative works, all bound together. Yuzu will know how much affection there is for him from all over the world. Please keep sending your creations and also share them here Thank you satellites for joining this project.
