Do we have a music thread already?

We've created so many songs based on Yuzuru, it deserves its own thread. "Once Upon a Dream", "One Day More" and now the pokemon theme.

What do you think he'd say if he lurks on this forum and just stumbles across the snarky songs we made up?

WHERE IS THIS DOCUMENTARY I NEEEEEEED TO SEEEEEE IT 

I think YzRiko? The according to keikaku one where he watches and comments on GPF 2015. First they show ACI which is spliced with better footage than live stream.

geez... 

一生懸命 is usually translated like doing one's very best. Yuzu's then "putting my life and existence at stake" is developing the meaning of 一生懸命=一生と命を懸ける (same kanji) (not sure it was exactly that, but along those lines)

The way it sounds in Chinese is more like he's putting his entire life's worth and pride on the line into skating this season.

Well whatever makes the boy happy, though I hope he does consider his health too (because the way it sounds like in Chinese is a bit more "worth it even if I die trying").  We haven't seen a repeat since Dick Button, so I'm rooting for him.

oh yeah i just looked at the actual thing he wrote. it's an idiom, not really meant to be taken literally. literal translations of idioms are usually a little OTT lol.

Lol, look at the kids ... they are ogling Yuzu like those little girls at 4CC did!  Understandable tho ... 

 

I'd like to believe that I wouldn't do the same if I was in their places, but I'm not sure ... 

They are way more composed in the presence of greatness. I would either freeze to the point of fainting. Or ugly sobbing. Is it possible to do both? It is.

Yep. I think @Xen's interpretation is spot on. It's more that he's putting his entire life experience into this season. (Which he's actually said before? The culmination of 18 years of skating thing, IIRC)
