Yuzu in a textbook again.

Yuzuru wanted to be healthier......

 

So accurate it hurts 

 

Eta: let's hope he can take a break from major injuries from now on

I know the answer to the first question. It's "How to Save Money".

 

And he got healthier alright. He can now probably crush someone's head with those thighs of his.

Sorry, I'm snorting too hard at the thought of that. Thank goodness he doesn't do judo and practice different hold patterns. XD

Hahah you're absolutely right 😂😂 I'm curious for what his costume will look like. i heard that the wings of words costume was going to be one of his new costumes for the season, but I'm not so sure how accurate that information is now that 1) everyone seem to dislike it (although I personally don't think it's that bad) and 2) because he used it for an exhibition rather than for the initial SHOCK of showing off his costume at a CS competition.

 

Hell no for Wing of Words costume (consider this as not bashing you, but just a very shocked exclamation after reading your words. LOL).

 

Wings of Words is a song with Japanese lyrics, so it is highly unlikely he will use it for competition. And TBH, I think the costume is too plain for him anyway.

 

Currently I want to see him in black costume. Like really, really want.

Wouldn't the first answer for appropriate title be "Reasons for Success in Sports"? Since that's the leading paragraph and the topic sentence of the following two paragraphs? They present their topic with rhetorical questions (what makes a great sportsman/sportswoman?), state their answer (it's both hard work and family), support their conjecture with an example case (Yuzuru Hanyu) elaborated in two paragraphs (paragraph A: dedication since he was a kid; paragraph B: family support in the form of making his costumes and funding skating lessons), and close by returning back to the original topic ("now, he is a top skater" = being a successful sportsman).
(Unless... you were being sarcastic and it totally went over my head...then just ignore me)

If my textbooks were full of Yuzu examples I would be super motivated to study  

Haru Yo Koi is his EX for the season apparently (announced at FAOI I think) so if anything, I'm hoping he'll get that costume slightly more refined (I like the concept, I think the way it was made and the way the sleeve ruffles are attached is kind of clumsy right now). Feel like it's very unlikely it'll be Wings of Words costume

Nope. I read the whole thing and "How to Save Money" is all I got out of it, and therefore think is the most appropriate title. xD

 

For people who are so penny wise, they sure know how to raise a son who turn others pound foolish. >.<

I kinda want that one really badly since I skipped the Ice Jewels PC special edition, but I also want Yuzu's Hakama photos so badly and cdjapan does not have the Hakama's (I think) yet so...

Hi, everyone,

Now, I am posting after long time.

Today, I want to introduce a firework of  "Hope & Legacy" held last year. Very beautiful !!!

 

 

 

Thank you, @Yukiko Sakae for sharing a beautiful hanabi program. It was mesmerizing.

It seems like a work by Nomura fireworks, one of the best firework factories in Japan. Last year, they also produced a program using Final Time Traveler as a special feature in a fireworks competition. It might have been shared here last year but let me share it again on this occasion because it's also beautiful.

Spoiler

 

 

 

In this yearly competition, you often find a program inspired by figure skating, probably because FS is popular in Japan, but I suspect some fireworks specialists are also personally interested in FS. In this competition, each competitor is judged by how skillfully they launched their fireworks and made them explode according to the music, how beautifully the fireworks exploded, how effectively they express the theme of the program making use of the characteristics of their products, etc. The program should be within two and a half minutes. A bit like FS, isn't it? 
In 2014, Miyagi-based factory competed with a program titled "Prince on the ice -nail the quads!" using PW.

 

ETA: Another program inspired by FS (somewhere around 2:00 you'll realize you know this song really well)

I really can’t wait to see what masterpiece Satomi creates for Yuzu this season  

Sparkling red for his new tango sp 

Seeing all those costume details making me realize that I love Yuzu (also) because of his costumes, and not despite of said costumes. All those gorgeous details... Although in Seimei's case I actually prefer the simpler Seimei 2.0.

It's interesting seeing Yuzu here standing in a perfect ballet fifth position.  I wonder how much ballet he's had over the years.
