Goatedforever

Slightly off topic @Anabel that is good news! I have unused flight tickets to Japan from 2020 which are just sitting in my refunds. I was hoping to catch one of Yuzu’s ice shows if the pandemic didn’t happen. Hopefully, we can all travel next year and watch Yuzu’s ice show. I’d love to meet fellow Satellites in person!

I’m so envious of the people who got to go to the exhibit 😭

Climate change is real, we are no longer in a drought. It’s a flood! But I am also drowning in work and barely have time to catch up

Omg I’ve been reading the Japanese tweets and google translating and Yuzu said he’s thinking of opening an official SNS account! also planning an ice show in Sendai 😱 He received a lot of offers (assuming for ice shows or something similar?) but turned them down. Editing to add Lae’s translation:

I wonder if we can watch a stream of it 🥺

My whole family is very much into the sport. Despite the ugly side of this sport, we stay and watch because legends come along. In my time, there was Yuna, Mao and then Yuzu who have all revolutionized figure skating. I’m still staying to support some of the Japanese ladies. Had my family and I turned our backs from the sport, we would never have discovered Yuzu. Hearing him talk about what we fans always knew is a hard pill to swallow.

I’ve been a longtime fan of FS and not just Yuzu alone. Unfortunately, politics, corruption and the trend of “retiring” skaters is not new in this sport. It has been happening for a very long time even before Yuzu was born. For a sport that’s so beautiful, it’s very rotten to its core. I’m very happy and glad that Yuzu allowed himself to step away from an environment that was not only unfairly treating him but also where they’re forcing him to forgo his values. For him to continue skating and go through all that mental, emotional and physical turmoil must have taken a lot of willpower.

Just finished watching! It feels so weird watching this now with everything that we know so far. It feels so much better and lighter to watch than what we initially started with. At the end where Yuzu is being asked to pose and look at the cameras, it’s peak comedy to me

Was just about to post! Please give some love to the AWW team through Lae, Shinji and Tsuki’s Kofis. This was such hard work on their part.

Watching it again. Ever since its debut in JNats, Rondo has been added to my list of favorite Yuzu SPs. I’m just so happy I have a new memory of it now after that blasted hole in Beijing. That 4T+3T is gorgeous.

I held my breath when the Sal came up. Tbh I teared up a little watching this. Finally a better and happier memory of Rondo for Yuzu and all of us. Miura’s story also made me cry, I hope better things await her and her family. Such a really fitting place for Yuzu to heal himself from his Beijing experience and at the same time provide healing to others too.
