Does anyone else feel like his first laugh is genuinely evil and when Yuzu change it it's "oops, I've been mean"?

 

An example of his duality and the ability to demonstrate it within seconds. 

 

I had never known that this mascot character of Metele (Nagoya local TV) is named "Wolfy," a wolf in sheep's clothing.

What's the metaphor for?

It's difficult to explain, but 名古屋テレビ (Nagoya TV) is shortened to 名テレ (pronounced as mei-tere).

Actually "mei" or "me'e" in Japanese means "baa" in English. This may be the reason of sheep. But why wolf?

 

Sorry for  But Yuzuru is cute anyway 

And so this season ends, while we prepare for news of the next one: 

 

 

 

Also, anyone here managed to grab the Canon short videos of Yuzu before they deleted everything from their website? 

I will search for it in other platforms, but wanted to check with the satellites here first.

@Yuzurella @Perelandra You have a very active imagination

Hmmm, maybe yes maybe no

After all what could possibly have crossed my mind whenever Yuzu was underscored grotesquely and mistreated by ISU and humiliated, seeing non deservers overscored and crowned as false kings

Surely it would never ever have occurred to any of us small fan folk to spend the past four years plotting the downfall of archaic organisations, no not at all. hehehe

I will now stop spamming with twitter posts, but you HAVE to read the entire thread, please.

Yuzu gave various interviews in Beijing. At the press conference he talked about his 9 yo self and how aged 9, Yuzu was small and needed to approach the axel really fast in order to rotate. Yuzu talked about rediscovering his form to jump the axel 9-10 days before the FS in Beijing

 

In a previous interview, he talked about Nanami sensei giving him an iPod for having landed 3A, she gave him wise counsel "Never forget your beginner's mind" - She KNEW then that Yuzu would really need to recall her advice in later life. Sure enough it was the technique from Yuzu's childhood which would serve him in his quest fro the 4A

Destiny smiles again.

So it's not a question of imagination but of inspiration, right? 

More like intense wish fulfilment.

It's like predicting which catastrophe will be the end of the world - super volcano vs killer asteroid

For ISU - bankruptcy vs totally smeared reputation, or both

Or laxative chocolates vs food poisoning at the congress banquet, not that anyone want to put ideas into anyone else's head

Maybe this is why Sendai rink is "undergoing maintenance"

The Ice Emperor is sitting on an iron throne made of broken skate blades, in the centre of the rink, awaiting the envoy, with Nessie coiled around his feet

@Perelandra Maybe this can be your new best seller fantasy novel?  

Joyous beauty to behold

question: How could anyone even contemplate being mean to Yuzu?

How is it even possible to stay so youthful, despite all the trials life has thrown in Yuzu's direction?

 

Perhaps a cheerful outlook imbues people with beauty from within and it shines through to his visage.

Convincing evidence that there really is a crystal fountain in a courtyard of a palace on Planet Hanyu

 

Dear Yuzu, may you never have to look into the pit of despair ever again. Wishing you sunshine, rainbows a ratified 4A and healthy ankles and a treasure chest full of good things, including hypoallergenic kittens

 

I don't remember seeing this around here... Although I don't know if it can be bought from outside Japan either... FaOI pamphlets are on online sale.

 

 

So with so many things up in the air with the GP, I wanted to ask two things:

 

1. Is there a reason they can’t just have 5 GP events plus the final? It would be less hassle for organizing, and cost effective.

 

2. Realistically speaking, besides Shoma, Yuma and possibly I.M. who would be Yuzu’s main competition in the GP Series? (I was trying to make a list of the top 10 possibilities).

17 years old Yuzuru:

 

 

 

In the CBC commentary of Yuzu's free skate (Romeo and Juliet I) in the 2012 world championships, just before the fall, Kurt Browning said, "I spoke to him (Yuzu) during ice shows in Japan earlier this year and I asked him if he was an athlete or an artist and he said, 'I am an artistic athlete.'"

 

 

Marika noticed something quite interesting about the arrangements of Danse Mon Esmeralda so beautifully sung by Seiko Niizuma:

Also, if you are having DME playing in a loop in your head but cannot really listen to versions sung by male singers, you may want to do something like this on Twitter to request Niizuma-san to release a single. Or, you can post a comment under one of Niizuma-san's FaOI posts.

Niizuma-san's voice and the arrangements, and Yuzu's dance and skating were really a match made in heaven
