    Very well Beatrice, I will do you as you request I call upon the Gods of Olympus and the Muses Daughters of Zeus and the goddesses Nike and Tyche and beseech them to come to the aid of Yuzu, that they will create a circle of protection around Yuzu and all those he holds dear and the Muses will inspire him and Nike and Tyche will ensure that all his endeavours will succeed. All of those creative ideas will inspire Yuzu to continue performing with great success

    Hahaha !!! Yumi may be enlisted to help to 'manage' Yuzu. They could wrap him in a Swan bag if he gets too feisty

    From past behaviour I would stick my neck out and defend Yuzu stating that Yuzu has not shown himself to have chauvinist feelings before. There must be public figures who have shown negative attitude and or behaviour towards women that she could have cited. It was a poorly written article imho

    Agree these issues are important. In which case, as a writer well known for their feminist views, she is well placed to write an article which demonstrates that it is evidence based and thoroughly researched, with citations and references. the article would most likely have been well received. Please don't think that this is disagreement about whether or not articles about inequality should be written, of course they should and I have great respect for your vast knowledge base and opinions on the subject. The disagreement comes from the use of an individual to get the message across. By using Yuzu as an example of poor behaviour towards women, which he has not exhibited in the past, the article comes across as defamatory, even if this was not the intention

    The saddest outcome of this episode is that Yuzu may decide that future magazine appearances will not happen. This kind of excessive criticism may force Yuzu to re evaluate his life in the public eye which opens him up to intrusive scrutiny and unwarranted criticism. It would be a complete tragedy if Yuzu decides to withdraw from public life altogether, skating and all. Fans really will be bereft if Yuzu announces retirement because being a public figure is not worth the trouble that it causes

    Yes, correct, same applied to opera with male counter tenors, natural male sopranos, younger males whose voices had not yet broken and castrati sopranos taking on the female roles( of course the method for creating castrati was dreadful and the practice was eventually condemned, quite right ) because the performing arts, only permitted male performers. Historically, it was deemed unseemly for women to perform on stage, thus, it was necessity and accepted cultural practice to have male persons performing the roles.

    Ah yes, well done and thank you for finding the article. It was most illuminating and interesting, because some ideas are constructs of the society in which people reside, knowledge about different cultures is enlightening.

    Fascinating and aesthetically beautiful film. Thank you for posting There was an article about the differences between Western and Eastern cultures about the concepts of masculinity and femininity. Sorry cannot find the reference. The article wrote that male Japanese nobles were educated in certain feminine behaviours, as these represented values such as mercy, were seen as being cultured and well educated. The article was very informative and explained these concepts most excellently.

    As someone old enough to have been a teenager and adored guys from the New Romantic era bands and those that emulated the look, read vampire novels by Anne Rice and that sort of thing, men wearing lace cuffed fencing shirts, velvet frock coats/ embroidered waistcoats and guyliner are masculine styles. Just different type of masculinity compared with someone wearing sports clothes or jeans and t shirt. There's barely any difference in how Yuzu has been styled for his photo shoot and the new romantic style of the 1980's (or the 1780's for that matter, hehehe) just a slightly different perspective as to what makes one thing masculine and another not.

    A nice moment of calm, beautiful rice field art in the setting of a gorgeous summer's day It must be close to harvest time so there will only be a few more opportunities to visit the rice field to see this lovely sight

    That's a shame to hear Yuzu's private life has been leaked, because he has not formally announced the identity of his spouse. The article is Geoblocked in UK so it is not possible to read it anyway, the details will appear on other media soon enough

    Sorry, it was not expressed very well. Yuzu cannot be the only person who is trying to rebuild a region on his own, it is not humanly possible. If people wish to rebuild they can all participate and all take a share of the responsibility. Perhaps that makes more sense.

    It seemed as if something changed after March 11th this year when Yuzu skated an especially poignant Notte Stellata and Haru Yo Koi at the Notte Stellata show. Yuzu appeared to be a little less burdened almost as if by sharing his experience through the skate performances he had passed some of the emotional load to the spectators.

    You are correct and just to add. Some of the themes of loneliness are from Yuzu's past as well as his present, for instance making sacrifices in order to train, not playing with friends in order to train, going to competitions and being out on the rink to compete alone, leaving his home town to go to Toronto, training at night, taking some decisions, feeling isolated. There are many activities, decisions, actions which only the individual can make, that can be a lonely task even if other people are present.
