Xen Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Just now, OonsieHui said: Thank you! I think I see what you mean. Ironically, wouldn't these skaters probably be getting more money as competitive amateur skaters then professionals? Lol I shudder to think how much Yuzu earns from all his advertising contracts, books etc. I don't know, I think the better you did as an amateur, the more you will get paid as a professional skater since your competitive titles could raise the price you are paid per show, especially if you are also madly popular otherwise. I think he should be fine even after his competitive amateur career ends. Think about it, he's an icon of the sport itself, and will probably stay relevant for quite a while. He might also have less restrictions afterwards. If you look at Mao, she still does advertisements and endorsement deals as well as professional shows. So Yuzu will likely go on the same path- I doubt ANA will drop him, neither will LOTTE (he can probably move chocolates by truckloads around Valentine's day) even when he turns pro. He's too photogenic to pass up for commercials. Link to comment

I just got Sportiva today, so I will be reading your translations while oggling the beautiful photos. Instead of Tuna Muffins this time, will you accept normal, strawberry muffins? Would you recommend Sportiva , for pics only because I can’t read Japanese . Thank you! Link to comment

I've been here awhile, and I really like the atmosphere of this place! I might be a bit slow with knowing how things work, and might ask stupid questions, so I hope you're patient with me! Nice to meet all of you! A bit late, but welcome to the orbit!

He also made a gesture imitating Pooh ears as he noticed fans wearing Pooh headbands. He tried his best not to look upset about the result. I filmed almost everything from the medal ceremony except the medal ceremony itself since there is official footage of it. It is in this playlist starting from number 7. Hide contents Am I the only one who kept looking at Brian and pooh? They're my new favorite pairing...so adorable On 10/10/2017 at 11:21 AM, Xen said: I thought our hypothesis of why Yuzu always did his image training/warmup for a long time by the Kiss&Cry area, open to public view, was his silent way of fanservicing us, because he could not just run up and jog/warm up among the audience like the other skaters. Technically he can....but it's likely that he won't make it out in one piece 38 minutes ago, Xen said: If you look at Mao, she still does advertisements and endorsement deals as well as professional shows.

She's also the ambassador of PyeongChang 2018...it's a pity that she's no longer very involved in the figure skating community. =S On a side note, I kinda had a nightmare last night. It was the Grand Prix Final and the final podium was... Gold - some unknown young kid Silver - Yuzu Bronze - Nathan That unknown kid got 246 (crazy!!!) for his SP because he did multiple quints! When I woke up, I felt so relieved that Yuzu is still the most awesome skater and probably always will... =) Link to comment

Okay, for you, I braved the possibility that my male coworkers would find me gawking at Yuzu (and discover that I'm human), and opened the magazine to check. I do not spot any posters. But about half the magazine is all Yuzu, with images from ACI2017, tons of UA Yuzu from TCC open media day, and plenty of FaOI photos, including a couple of nekoYuzu dancing his heart out, and the one where poohearsYuzu was handing a jacket to nekoJavi. The rest of the magazine has Shoma, but also tons of gorgeous photos of Marin, Mai, Wakaba and Kaori from FaOI. Noto-san has amazing clear photos, and tons of photos of Yuzu's face. The magazine itself is also pretty large (I would guess 11x9 or 14x11?), so the photos are quite huge. I also got the ice jewels 2016-2017 photobook by Tanaka. Also very nice, beautiful photos, but a bit more densly packed than Sportiva. Has 2 photos of his gorgeous hydroblade from Notte Stellata. Comparing the two, Ice Jewels has more MemeLord Yuzu photos, and Tanaka has a couple of photos where Yuzu is high-fiving and hugging Pooh. Noto-san on the other hand, in Sportiva, likes to use close-ups of Yuzu's face, especially smiling Yuzu. Pick your poison. IMO, both are worth it. I bought Sportiva, a season calendar, and Ice jewels off of Amazon JP, with shipping and handling and customs taxes, wasn't too bad, got them in about 4 days after putting in my order (granted, I'm in next door China). 26 minutes ago, singcarcom said: On a side note, I kinda had a nightmare last night.

Well, considering that no guy has attempted quints yet, I imagine if that scenario were to happen, it would be after 2020, or 2022. o_O So were you dreaming that Yuzu would stay on top of the men's field even after 2022?

Thank you so much Xen ! For the detailed review ! Good thing I don’t have any expensive hobbies so I can focus on some important things like magazines Link to comment
ruruzest Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 post this here because this video has a combo of four jumps, beautiful smiles, a slo mo split in the air, a spiral,... now why do I have to advertise for Yuzu MAD video when the title itself suffices Link to comment
