What do you think were Yuzuru's best jumps? I am not (justtalking about his best jumps in general, but specific times when he jumped beautifully. I really like his 3A in this ex: )

Since today is the anniversary of Yuzu winning his 2nd World title i wanted to start this thread Hope and Legacy a.k.a. the best free skate ever (until he skate a better one ) which he became the first and remains the only male skater in history to score above 220 points. Edit: Since yt deleted the legendary video with more than 3M views, here is the back up one

Hi everyone! You know the times when words fail to describe Yuzuru's skating, right? At that point, some creative commentators save us with their funny and interesting comments. This is a thread for those that you can't forget. I want to start this with my favourite Johnny Weir comments. Also feel free to add the ones you liked "It looked like water...suspended in soup." "... when he put forth what was the fourth highest score in a short program ever, you know who owns the top 3?" "Yuzuru Hanyu?" "He does." "agile like a freshly born kitten" "Liquid silk on ice."

Here ya go, @Anya: (Whooops! I just realized I forgot to do the captions below and next to the images. But the images do kind of speak for themselves so...forgive me, yeah? m(_ _)m)

So I came across this again the other day: This is the Kozuki Sports Award and Athlete Acknowledgment Ceremony that was held back in 2014. Hanyu was awarded the biggest award there for his achievements, and was the representative chosen to speak on behalf of athletes who were awarded in the event. He gave a speech that's a little over 4 minutes long which I haven't seen a translation for floating around, though I very well could have missed it. If one does exist, here's the version I did of it anyway: (Speech starts at the 9:17. If your want to see him accepting his award, it's starts at 7:29, right before his speech.)

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCACbAMaqBZs6nT7h86UdY9Q username: yyskater this is probably only wishful thinking, but there's a playlist in this acc titled "hope and legacy" and it was created months before yuzu officially announced his free program for 2016-2017. there's saved vids of monster hunter, bump of chicken, and...kara??? lmao. either way this could just be a very skilled poser...

Let's bring them back to counter-act the withdrawal syndromes! Here a list of our previous party threads for those who are new to the planet and this concept: LWOFYPP (fave programs) 09/10 10/11 11/12 12/13 13/14 14/15 15/16 16/17 Exhibitions On this thread: Happy Sappy So we were thinking of doing a favorite prgrams streaming party first and then doing a few more season streaming parties in random order. (I am craving the 11/12 season personally!!) @cirelle suggested WR programs which I think could very well be incorporated in to a fave programs streaming party.

Right...this is a tad embarrassing and awkward since I've never rooted for anyone to this degree before but I figured since I had a spare ema lying around at home, I finally got this done today: Here's what the ema looks like from the front (this is an earlier snapshot, when this lil project of mine was still a WIP): ...don't ask and i won't tell. Oh, and those two omikuji both say kichi so it's all good! Feel free to post your own wishes and prayers for him in this thread, like it's a little shrine right here at PH Simple ones in normal posts will do. I only did it the way I did cos I had an ema lying around collecting dust, and I had more wishes than I did ema... Anyway, the more wishes, the better!!

Kind of rough around the edges, since I dont see any real point in polishing it but here, took a shot at it:

Some interesting things beings said here that I felt deserve fuller context, since we've only gotten fragments so far, so here y'all go. (I only did the questions that were addressed directly to the guests and skipped all the pure MC bits about P&G. Just follow the time stamps if you want to know where exactly in the video the things below are being said.) Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

Is this program Hodo Stn? Has Ichiro Furutachi retired???? Anywho, here's a rush-job translation of Matsuoka's latest interview with him. I'm not used to churning out things like this quickly so the work is rather...shoddy...at best. Still, the gist should be intact. ^^ Will probably be editing it from time to time until I'm happy with it. Anyway, here's the guy dishing out a large serving of awe. As usual. There's also a summarized version by @kaerb here. And I dunno about you all but I'm really getting some full-blown War Boy!Witness Me vibes from the dude. >.< 2017/10/16 TV Asahi Interview w/S.

Hi everyone I'm new here and can't find a thread for posting my yuzu gifs... And thanks to encouragement from @SparkleSalad & @kaeryth, I'll spam my gifs here. As an idiom said in where I come from, ("throwing a brick out so as to invite jade in") I plan to repost some of my twitter gifs (I'm boredjdc on twitter) here and hope some master gif makers would add their creations! First, two gifs I haven't posted elsewhere before~ 1. NHK H&L ending always made one melt. Camera work was GOE +3. 2. Believe EX deserves more love. It's a crime that there're only two performances recorded??????? (I don't mind if my gifs are reposted with proper credit! I spent time on making gifs because I can't draw or edit well but I have to let out my love for Yuzu's skating via some creative activities lol Would be happy if people like them enough to share them :3)
