But the paper editions are still for Japan only, aren't they? I thought it would make a perfect present for a relative who's studying costume making, but we are in Europe.

 

I pre-ordered a copy on Amazon Japan and am using a forwarding service to get it home to me. Design is one of my teaching subjects so if I bring it into school and use it as a resource for a little bit, I can even claim it for my tax return. I think it's a perfect gift for someone studying costume design. I used jpn-depot for forwarding mine but I was also looking at tenso and a couple of others. Some of the forwarding services even have purchasing services as well - I didn't use one because I wasn't sure how they went about pre-ordering and I didn't want to wait to part with money to get that book. I might have also bought some other Yuzu merch because I couldn't help myself but what's a girl banned from going outside for weeks to do?

The only two Yuzu-like things I have is that I like stuffed animals :) and listening to music. 

 

Me too, except that my stuffie of choice, is not really very Poohlike....

Have you tried CDJapan?

 

In Asia, it's also available in Korea's Aladdin and Singapore's Kinokuniya bookstores.

 

I weakened and ordered it from cdJapan, the expected delivery is 1-2 weeks, the cost with postage and my govt's GST was not pretty (but had I ordered from the Sydney Kinokuniya it would have been even more, before postage, and an unknown delivery time!)

 

The things we do.....

Guys, do you remember a song made by the Chinese fans about being a Yuzu fan (the one with cute drawings)? It was shared here when the Planet was first created and we even joked about making it our anthem :biggrin:.

Anyone have a working link to it? I bookmarked it on YouTube back then but apparently it is no longer there and I don't know how to search for it. So, if anyone can help me find it I will be really grateful.

 

Do you mean this one?

It doesn't have the English subtitles though. :cry:  I loved the one on YouTube with the EngSub. I discovered it when I was a pretty new fanyu, and I thought it was hilarious and soooo accurate. I hope someone has a link to the English-subbed one.

Not nearly as good as an English subtitled video, but these are the English words that I transcribed from the subtitled video that I downloaded. I made some minor edits to the original subtitled English.

 

The English title for the video is:

 

50 WAYS TO FAN YUZURU HANYU

 

Here comes October again

and I become a (new) fan of Hanyu

I try to catch up with old fans (regarding information about Yuzu)

How to fan Yuzuru Hanyu correctly?

By lying down or standing up?

Finally we should all kneel down and worship his highness

Then it's time to join a fan group for resources

Firstly watch all his competitions and news

There are live shows, interviews and documentaries

OH GOD! OH GOD!

My face bursting into flames (nosebleed)

I blame the sexy Yuzu from FaOI

Searching around for FaOI brochure

And buy all the magazines, photo books and Blue Flame

OH GOD! OH GOD! Then scan all pics to my computer

Those super fans release their photos again!

There are no lyrics here – make something up yourself – so sorry! (Actual subtitles!)

Translate news and articles

Make your own (Yuzu) goods and paint Angel Yuzu

Buy the same necklace as Yuzu

So you can meet other Yuzu fans occasionally

Group together and go crazy for Yuzu

Bring photos and have dinner together

Then kneel down together and worship his performance together (in front of TV)

Exchange different experiences as Yuzu fans

Those super fans have made him a song

Or made him videos

OH GOD! OH GOD!

Let’s play the music he performed in the competition

Listen to them on Yuzu earphones

And when time flies

You will find yourself sitting in the venues or watching the competitions sitting in front of your TV

OH GOD! OH GOD!

(I was) too focused watching Yuzu and my mobile dropped on my face!

Calculating the score results

NO LYRICS – how can this music be that long? (Actual subtitles!)

IT'S YOU AGAIN! J5! JUDGE!

Go to Sendai to change my mood

Take as many photos as I can

(I) want to meet coach Nanami and Mr. Yoshida

Then (go to) pray for Yuzu at Yuzuru-Ha shrine

Collect all music from the competitions

Collect all the videos

Its time to buy a new mobile with a larger drive

Tons of NEWS!

Thumbs up for GIF!

Manage Photoshop

Sign up for twi, weibo and Yuzuru Planet

OH GOD! OH GOD!

Mastered all kinds of skills

Use self-made poster to promote him

Hold up banner wishing he would see it

OH GOD! OH GOD!

Does he see it? (He does and he winks in the picture)

Speechless for the excitement!

With a crazy big laugh on my face

(I) become crazy every time I think of him!

OH GOD! OH GOD!

In the greatest time of my life!

I become a fan of Yuzuru Hanyu

Today is another Happy Yuzu Day

I’m really not good at translating but I kinda tried so this is what the article says about Yuzu:

 

Yuzuru Hanyu was born in a normal family in Sendai, Japan. When he was 4 years old, his older sister starting skating at a nearby rink so he followed her. As Hanyu has asthma, his parents let him skate as a means of healthy exercise. His coach quickly realised that Hanyu’s body structure and flexibility were very good, and he was also not afraid no matter how many times he fell, so they let him properly train.

 

When he was in 4th year of primary school, he became the national champion. But for Hanyu who endures difficult trainings daily, skating quickly became tiring and boring so he secretly started playing baseball. When his parents found out, they asked him, “do you truly like skating?” His parents let him make the decision, making him truly consider his goals for the first time. In the end he answered, “I want to continue skating.” Hanyu recalls, “at that time when I said this my heart was already in doubt, if my parents insisted for me to continue, I might have quickly disliked skating.” 
 

Hanyu became the champion in men’s single skating in the Sochi and Pyeongchang winter olympics, becoming the first man to do so in 66 years. His total score in the 2015 Grand Prix Final is the highest total score, and is listed as a world record.

 

 

 

Hope I didn’t get anything wrong!!
