  1. It was lovely of Tetsuko san to tell Yuzu how attractive he is. Age gives certain privilege to be able to say such things. hehe
  2. Tetsuko san interacts with Yuzu a bit like an indulgent Aunt with a favourite nephew. The way Yuzu bows it almost feels as if he should follow this by saying "As you wish" from the film, 'the Princess Bride'
  3. It is no surprise that a curator of fine arts would be drawn to something as beautiful as Yuzu's high quality skating with all of his attention to detail and aesthetic mastery of performance. A lovely story of discovery
  4. You look fabulous, Bella bellissima Bought the white T, white hoodie, black hoodie, books, thermo cup pink and blue bag. We can coordinate our 'look' at Yuzu-con as you say.
  5. To misquote Field of Dreams "If Yuzu builds it, fans will come" Fans would pay good money to see the museum/ visiting photo exhibitions, shows, merchandise and any other Yuzu crumbs or feasts that there may be on offer. It would potentially generate a lot of revenue in hospitality for Sendai as well
  6. Trusty Age app is working well, results as expected
  7. Twt post that Yuzu's winter wishes Sekai no Owari outfit and Tetsuko san's dress are really similar in colour tones. Gorgeous
  8. Snippet with English translation Thank you Sarah S
  9. Yuzu talks about being scolded at skating classes
  10. Inflation will increase costs year on year but there were figures published from ? 3 years ago when Javi F was talking about having a rink built for his skating foundation academy. The initial building cost was a lot ( several millions of Euros ) but the maintenance made the project prohibitively expensive 500- 750K euros per annum. As mentioned the maintenance costs could be met by merchandise and ticket sales. Yuzu's popularity is much greater than any other individual skater. 'Friendship' schemes could also be offered, for example Royal Opera House and London Coliseum offer fixed period friendship packages of varying amounts which entitle the purchaser to certain number of complementary tickets per year with their package, depending package cost, plus discounts and priority booking for other productions, food and drink and special lounge access each year. This sort of small sponsorship is vital for the maintenance of these buildings and sponsorship of the arts. A Yuzu rink could easily offer such a range of products if a rink is built. Do such friendship schemes exist in Japan? They are essentially non corporate sponsorship for private individuals to contribute to heritage projects like theatres and museums. Personally speaking, knowing that through a friendship scheme some tickets to a Yuzu show were guaranteed as part of an annual payment and then to have VIP access for priority ticket sales, would be well worth paying towards rink maintenance.
  11. This looks interesting. They looked as if they were having fun when they sat next to one another at the New Year TV special and of course, they are acquainted from the Towa commercials. Yuzu is very dapper in a three piece suit Link for an article and some more photos
  12. If the fans' dream of a museum selling Yuzu merchandise came true, the funds raised would be enough to maintain a rink, especially if mail order with global shipping was offered. Certainly in the UK a huge amount of museum funding comes from sales of the museums related gifts, cafe etc. A rink hosting Yuzu's ice shows would also make enough money to be profitable and pay back building and maintenance costs. in addition the rink would surely charge some fees for hiring as a venue to host competitions or practice sessions. Ice rink Sendai has to provide training space for Figure, Speed and Hockey. Ensuring that each discipline receive enough allocated time must be very challenging A visiting fan took photos of the area at the back where all of the rink machinery is located - for making the ice rink surface etc. Poor Ice Rink Sendai really looks very overworked, judging from those pictures.
  13. With regards to Gift, fans are hoping for a permanent electronic disc or download for purchase. Gift is a work of art, a chef d'oeuvres as you say, it should be preserved for the future. The Gift Post Show booklet will be due for posting late May and June. This will be a wonderful keepsake The snow globe is due to ship August/September, although the design has not been released as yet, these are certain to become collectors items and treasured by those who decided to buy them. Many fans hope that one day Sendai will honour Yuzu with a new ice rink for Yuzu's shows and a museum to showcase all of his achievements, awards and medals, costumes, photo exhibition and memorabilia. It would be a place for fans to pay tribute to Yuzu and leave lovely messages in visitors books for Yuzu.
  14. There is a photo of Yuzu with a tiny Yappei in his hand, taken few years ago. Now Yuzu is with full sized Yappei. I had an amusing thought that Yuzu had raised Yappei from a chick and that is why Yuzu like Yappei so much. Having said that, Yuzu is very fond of mascots generally
  15. YuzuSakura update OP has been visiting tree. Due to strong winds the tree has been tended to in order to prevent the tree from being blown about excessively and putting too much strain on the roots. The tree is being supported by bamboo poles. Maybe this is a precautionary because the tree was only transplanted last year and the roots may not yet be fully established in the new location, since this major upheaval. Perhaps some expert horticulturalists can enlighten us.
  16. Surprised that the edit did not include the scene where Yuzu catches the ball behind his back, Yuzu's celebration is gorgeous and joyous. I think it's from back stage WC 2017
  17. Yes blue cover with photo of Yuzu looking down from top right corner towards left bottom corner. Yuzu's name is written in white Kanji writing and there is a smaller font in yellow which indicates photos cover time period from 2007 - 2022. Hope that helps
