Happy New Year everyone! It has been a humongous joy being a Fanyu & a satellite of Planet Hanyu (almost typed Planet Fanyu!!! ) . Thank you for all the sharing of your special memories, knowledge of Yuzuru's skating career with us here. Thank you Planet Hanyu Admins for creating such a wonderful platform & thank you Fanyus for always exhibiting kindness, patience & positivity towards baby fanyus (just like Yuzuru). Thank you Yuzu. & have a blessed 2023.

Just discovered one of my two NHK World cable channels at home is showing 73rd NHK RED AND WHITE YEAR-END SONG FESTIVAL AT NHK HALL. Hip hip hooray! Shall glue to my tv from now...

Lovely translation by Mocha-san.

Wah... the snowy platform for PH now. So christmassy. counting down to meeting some of the satellites at TD next year.

Hi satellites, I won a ticket for Gift @ Tokyo Dome. It is my first time to Tokyo Dome too. Hope to hear more good news from other fellow Satellite Fanyus.

loves the lyrics of the song. Always so meaningful & lovely. It warms the cockles of my heart.

I shall check Daiso near my neighbourhood later. LOL .... I will get one if i see one (if any left).

It is usually oos at the initial stage of pre-order for new Yuzu related books. Wait for a week or so, the pre-order will b available again. This is based on my personal experience when i ordered at Amazon Jp.

Cute piggy wearing Origin costume that got Yuzu feeling 'woww'!

You wont bear to die because you will want to keep seeing his very handsome face!

I'm not sure though. I hope so. Some japanese fans after the live view told me that i should come again (after I told them that I went to Hacinohe & tt I'm from SG) as it is easier to get the tickets due to the huge size of Tokyo Dome. I am addicted to Yuzu's ice shows now.

I got a ticket at the theatre and went for live viewing. Today i cried so much more. The moment the earthquake showed on the big screen, my tears just burst out. Edit: I tried to look away from the screen by looking down & taking a drink, but it was just hard to stop crying. The other fanyus sitting on my left right front back all crying. Somehow watching on the big screen in theatres triggered the emotions more.

Thank you @Anabel @EisElle. 😊😊

Thank you @Perelandra. I think it would be even more fun if PH satellites watch Yuzu live together. Really looking forward to that day.

@Hanmgse @Perelandra Please forgive me for this overdue reply. I was completely knocked out when I was back in my room. I'm not that good with words. So please bear with me. 😊 My Japanese friend entered lottery for General Sales on my behalf. I didn't think I would win the lottery as many mentioned on twitter that it was alot harder to win it in Hachinohe than Yokohama. On the day of the lottery results, I didn't dare check my email as I was very confident that i won't win the lottery. My friend checked & msg me ' Congratulations, you won the lottery & it was your first choice.' I was in a little shocked to b honest. Then it turned to outbursts of happiness overflowing. Just lost for words. All I remembered was I said omg nth times. Really?!!?? I am going to Yuzuru's first solo ice show. Prologue. I just watched Live View like weeks ago, & omg I am going Japan again but for a good reason. Watching Yuzu ⛸⛸ live!!! Fast forward to 3rd Dec 2022: Day of Prologue 2nd show. Board the shinkansen train from Tokyo station to Hacinohe. Saw a number of Japanese fanyus. Identified them by the mini pooh bears hung on their bags or prologue bag/merch which they carried on them. And yes @Perelandra, I did buy Prologue merch, managed to buy the wash denim bag (Yay!), Prologue program book & a few others since i can save on 3rd party agent fee n shipping fees. Wanted to gift my japanese class classmates with yuzu merch but not sure if they will treasure them as much as I do. I suspects that my Japanese class sensei is a fanyu as she was excited for me when i told her I'm missing her class again bc i was gg to watch yuzu ice show. When i entered the rink venue, i started to get excited again. Found my seat & started endless snapping of the ice rink. Met a Cfanyu seated besides me living in Tokyo. Show started playing video of Yuzu press con & earthquake in sendai... Everyone around me started crying. i wasnt crying at first but hearing the sniffing, i cried too. When Yuzu appeared & started his 6 min practice, I tried to sit up & move my body forward to catch a closer look. Wah, very handsome! Hahahaa... When he performed Seimei, I was in awe! The sound of his skating blades on the ice rink sounded so good! Is this what you called as ASMR? I can't & don't know how to identify the different quad jumps. When he jumped & landed, they looked so effortlessly which made it looked beautiful. Like a 🐦 descending down but with a speed. Please forgive me if my description sounded wrong. When he finished a program, there would be standing ovation. I don't understand Japanese so I can only appreciate his skating programs. When the audiences laughed, i dont know how to react also. LOL... All i can say is Yuzu is definitely happier now post competitive career. He likes to tease the audiences when spinning wearing the prologue t-shirt (that's when his toned tummy was exposed!!)😍 I like fleeting dream program & my favourite favourite Parisenne Walkways. When Yuzu was waving to the audiences towards the corner the 2nd round, we tried to wave vigorously to catch his attention, he looked at our direction & waved!!!! I asked the Cfanyu for confirmation & she said he did look up at our directions. I was so happy!!!! Luckily my BP was not high, else i would have fainted. It is a privilege & bonus to be able to watch Prologue live. This is not a bragging post. And sincere apologies for such a long post. I will treasure these priceless memories. I hope more satellites will get the chance to watch his ice shows. Glad to meet some fanyus in Japan too, and we agree that fanyus are the sweetest people & least toxic compared to other fandom. I shared with a Cfanyu & a Jfanyu about PlanetHanyu too & encourage them to visit our planet as the satellites here are just as friendly & sweet. PS. How to post photo directly on post? Don't wish to post photos using my Twitter acct. Can someone pm me to guide me? Thank you.

Hi all, I will share my humble experience when I'm back in my hotel in Tokyo by today. I promised. Forgot to buy a bento before taking the shinkasen train. Hungry, tired & groggy (partly contributed by watching WC games). Pls wait for me. Hahahahaha.... PS. The train is full of fanyus & I'm seated btw two now. One lady went to Skatecanada International 2019 (her SC Int'l bag gave her away).

Thank you @Anni. It is a pretty small rink. My seat faces the corner of the rink. Hope yuzu skates close to the corner.

Hey Satellites, apologies for such a late sharing. I won the lottery to watch Yuzu Prologue today, 3rd Dec 22. Happy saturday everyone!

We together with other satellites would be at Torino next month cheering for Yuzu if they had been fair. sigh...

Very lovely sharing @Geo1. Thank you for sharing these precious heartwarming memories of yours with us Satellites.

that's the first thing I noticed too. I am like always checking time of the post now like some sort of SOP.
