We all had excellent training during the Olympics, we can get up and go to bed at any time! 

 

Isn't that the truth. It actually took me a while to get my sleep cycle at least somewhat under control after all of that (so worth it for Zu though).

But heck, it wouldn't be skating season if we weren't up in the middle of the night, bleary eyed staring at a tiny screen and yelling my livestream died!

Now it seems a shame we need the same pattern in four years only! 

Wait, though, there’s the Worlds in Saitama coming...

You guys are truly amazing! I'm already afraid of what's coming next for me, after having a little taste of it last night/early today...  But I'll deal with it!

You’re a fan of Yuzuru Hanyu and you can’t take a number of cringey things?

Hahhaaaa,   you're right  I  should get  used to it

I'm ready to take the cringe, if he uses the same voice he used for that Red Cross.

I'm posting it here too. Adorable

Yuzu looks so young in this picture. I would've believed it if someone said it was taken post-Sochi. 

A fan found a ANA TV CM video of 2012.  It's so linked in many ways.

Because some of you talked about an old MAD with the Haru Yo Koi song and Hanyu + Nanami, I thought it may still be up on Bilibili. I kind of lost focus though so these were only the MADs that I found. For the people that made these it's probably cool though that Hanyu's skating to a version of the song they used as fan videos. (All 3 MADs I linked here used different versions of the song too!)

OH. And I found out through that adventure that Chemistry went on Music station on 06.15 and talked a bit about Yuzu.

The second one's original version is still on YT.

 

 

When I listen to the song  (Japanese one), Yuzu and his efforts in trying to encourage people in those earthquake disaster areas (Hanshin-Awaji, Kumamoto, and Tohoku) just hits me. His skating is not just giving people joy but also giving them hope as if he's healing the deep wounds of people's hearts. Yuzu understands because he's one of them as he was there when the earthquake hit them. I think process of healing starts from accepting the losses and realise that you still have something left that can be cherished.

 

I have no words to describe how much I appreciate Yuzu as a skater as well as a person with great courage. His struggles and victories both shaped who he is today and he's still only 23 and I wonder how far he can go...

This is "Flowers will bloom" sung by Japanese Olympic team having competed at 2016 Rio Olympics . They all had solo parts.

This was so awkward to watch.  Only the ladies seemed relaxed in this.

Come on, it’s sweet. And just imagine how popular that video will be if Yuzu’s in it. 

Heck, even the Olympic Channel might post it! Lol 😂

Aaaa this song is so poetic and emotional! I love it more everytime I listen to it. Can't wait to watch him skate to it 

Also, I discovered this bee lol

This is really sweet, I like it 

 

I always enjoy it when people who are not artists sing songs like that, it gives me a warm feeling and I think they did great
