Hehe for question 2 I think both A and D are correct though? I would probably choose D I guess...

ToshI's fan drew manga based on another radio talk about the photo. 

After FaOI show, ToshI  pretended he's looking for something and waited for Yuzu. He wanted to take a picture  but couldn't ask. Yuzu noticed and said, " Let's take a picture together." And ToshI "fangirled" so much.

This is apparently a listening comprehension test. The transcript on the second page indicates that this test was based on listening to CNN’s Coy Wire’s video “The Legend of Yuzuru Hanyu”. This is a link to the short version of that video:

Although both A and D apply to Yuzu, since this is a listening comprehension test, the “correct” answer for the purpose of the test is D.

ToshI is every fanyu! Just imagine, someone as famous and acclaimed as him and even he feels shy to ask Yuzu for a photo.

Et le désir s'accroît quand l'effet se recule. (Corneille, Polyeucte.)

And the desire grows when the effect is pushed back. (Let's ignore the other phonetic meaning.  )

He's used to give us surprises when and how they give us the maximum thrill, isn't he?

It's not like he does it on purpose. most of the time.. at least I hope not! But I wouldn't put it past him either.

Well, in many topics I suppose he doesn't (his real life is full of surprises, good and bad) but as to announcing his programs, I suppose he's free to announce them early, and doesn't do so on purpose, is it not?

As far as I know, there's no requirement to announce programs at all, just a rule that the music has to be submitted to competition organizers/the country's fed/ISU in advance?

 

For example, we only found out Yuzu was going back to Ballade and Seimei for 4CC because they showed up in his ISU bio ahead of the competition, right? He meant it to be a surprise. 

 

 

But wow, if he does wait that long, we won't hear anything until mid-November at earliest...I really hope there's some reason for him to get on the ice before that...even if it's just 24-hr TV...don't know if I can handle full-on withdrawal symptoms...

This is what I am expecting. Or maybe, nothing before Nationals (I really believe there will be Nationals and they will be broadcast; I am less sure about GP.)

But I trust him for something else. He has green fingers.

"On his way to becoming a global star..." He already was a global star before he got his second OGM.  He just wasn't noticed by the American press until then.

I do believe that he will do something, even if it is short and off ice, for 24HR, and given his commitment to its cause, maybe something longer When is that again?
