FlyingCamel Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Hehe for question 2 I think both A and D are correct though? I would probably choose D I guess... Link to comment
Seorose Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 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. Link to comment

Expand 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: https://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2018/02/19/cnni-japan-figure-skating-megastar-wire-pkg.cnn/video/playlists/winter-olympics-2018/ 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.

Expand 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...
