These photos are printed onto the foam and you can drink them 

 

 

Wow! I know about eatable printed pics that are put on tops of cakes and such. But drinkable foam that has prints on it? That's really new for me. I have to say, though, that I'd rather keep those beautiful Yuzu pics than drink them.

It is similar! Yuzuru is ageless from ice-Chan and somehow more beautiful each year 

 

 

You know this drama! That's awesome!

Question 1: "What has been your most important decision?"

 

 

 

Part 1  with English subtitles 

[NEWS]

 

How lucky we all are that Yuzu decided to continue skating and committed himself fully to it. By making this decision, he built the foundation of his incredible achievements and legacy. What a gift he gave to the world by choosing figure skating!

The drinkable print reminds me of that old Joni Mitchell song ".... I could drink a case of you, darling...."

When Yuzu was a child, like most kids and hobbies, there were times that he did not want go to the rink and practice. It is hard work and can be boring. Yuzu wanted to play with his friends and told his parents that he did not want to skate anymore but preferred baseball. As most parents might say, they replied that yes he should give up if that was what he wanted. Skating is expensive, baseball is cheaper. Then because Yuzu's parents gave him the choice - quit or continue, Yuzu decided to continue skating, because after a few weeks, he missed skating.

 

It is quite a chore as a child to practice things that are difficult and as a parent having a child complain constantly that they don't want to practice something: musical instrument, lines for a play, go to sports practice, it can be quite draining, especially after a busy day at work. Add to that having to take the child to the practice or lessons, more time and all activities cost money. So many children just give stuff up because they don't want to do the boring drills, scales, rehearsals. To achieve takes commitment

 

To quote:

"Hard work wins over talent, if talent won't work hard"

 

All of this and then there was also the time when Ice Rink Sendai was closed for financial issues. He had to move to other rink much further away from Sendai and many of his friends did quit the skating then. So that might have caused even more burden financially and time wise.

Yuzu also told a story about this. Many students stopped skating because of the rink closure and due to lack of entrants from Miyagi Prefecture, Yuzu could not attend some of the competitions. Fortunately, Shizuka Arakawa won the Torino 2006 Olympic Women's sinlges Gold, and it was her influence which helped the Sendai rink to re open. She visits the rink and young Yuzu features in a documentary. Yuzu and some other Junior skaters took part in publicity campaign, getting signature to petition for funds. There is an interview with a journalist which mentions this, and he mentions meeting Young Yuzu. 

Sooo cute, Nekomasamune skating, he is one of Yuzu's biggest supporters. He is hydroblading like Yuzu, clearly he admires Yuzu's skill and technique

Maybe later they will broadcast or upload the program somewhere more accessible 🤗  

It is local tv station, so no live stream possibility. Maybe following this thread

 

 

Yuzu thought about including the 4A in his short (Rondo probably?)
