Trudeau is a breath of fresh air compared to what we have in the states - dangerous idiot.

To make your Saturday just that bit more beautiful... they just played my absolute and everlastingly favourite song, Love Me Sweet by Australian composer Carl Vine.  I am imagining our boy skating to this in a gala.... beauty just doesn't come much more pure.

 

 

 

It's hard not to talk about politics in this current climate but...technically there's a no politics rule here  at the very least, if it's COVID related, here's the relevant thread. thanks :)) 

Motion animation from Yaguchi san's 4A shot

That looks exactly like the "longer" version of his 3A:

Just watching Yuzuru's videos all day long.

Good one for decreasing stress and increasing immune strength 

 

 

EDIT:  This music piece is composed by Shigeru UMEBAYASHI,  who is also the composer for the movie "Onmyoji (Seimei)".

Could be worse! But everybody has their own taste in politician's looks I guess

And apparently, Japanese newspapers seized the opportunity to get some Yuzu-related content too. 

 

Random post. Just heard this song and thought of Yuzuru. I think y'all will see the connection to our hero who flies. It's a cute song. 

 

Maxim Trankov calling our Yuzu a Samurai! 
Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t Yuzu say something along the lines of wanting to portray the spirit of a Samurai before?

We all know he is not a "mere samurai", rather a "superlative samurai", "out of a legend". (Or knight.) I think I remember he said he would have liked to skate as a samurai, but the attire wouldn't suit his (implicitly not that tall, and slender) body? I didn't really agree, in fact. Some people are TOO humble.

Wasn't that when he played an actual samurai lord in that movie?

Yuzuru Hanyu Vietnamese fanpage translated Ice Jewels vol 12 full interview. Many questions but I just summed up a few interesting points:

1. He compared Otonal and Ballade, Origin and SEIMEI: saying Otonal is a piano concerto with many other instruments besides piano while Ballade is a solo piano piece that allows him to truly feel the pure tone of piano. For Origin and SEIMEI, he can skate both with fire inside him as the main motivation, but now he understands he'd better focus on control and vision rather than let the fire inside go wild

2. He talked about how changing layout for each comp helps him avoid injury, it's the biggest achievement. He feels he has adjusted his condition pretty well thru out this season

3. He started to fully rotate 4A!!! His body feels more and more relaxed when jumping it now. The progress is slow as he can't train it everyday but he gradually has a clear image of a successful 4A!

4. Training 4A can make his attention and energy on other jumps decline, he has to separate his training for them clearly.

 

Just a loose translation. Anticipate full Eng trans soon.
