I can't help thinking Worlds and NHK 2019 themes are especially made for Yuzu (Cherry blossom for Haru-chan, and Snow flower for Oto-chan). Or are they actually inspired by Yuzu?  (I'm not even surprised if it's true, Yuzu even inspired Olympic medals )

 

Let's wait for the deep purple K&C with butterflies at JNats and there we have the Yuzu trinity of inspiration.

OMG talking about JNats I reallyyyyyyy want Yuzu to be there. It has been 4ever. Ofc only if his health allows thou. Yuzu's health is always no.1 priority 

Yes, it will be almost strange to see Yuzu at J Nats... it's been so long. I am sure he wants to be there after all this time too. And then he can be home for the holidays too.

There are so many young skaters who look up to Yuzuru  I came across this interview with Andrei Kutovoi, he is a Russian skater who won a bronze medal at one of his Junior Grand Prix events this season and he said this about Yuzu:

 

Quote

When you first started skating was there a skater you wanted to be like? What about now – do you have a skater you admire?

 

When I first started skating I didn’t know any skaters and I didn’t watch figure skating.

It changed over time, and now I’m watching closely what’s going on in the skating world. I try not to miss any event of junior and senior level.

 

I admire the Japanese skater Yuzuru Hanyu, his skating skills, musicality, the way he feels every single movement. The ice and Yuzuru are like a single entity, that’s his element.

I can't 

I'll have to work during his SP(and it will be a very demanding difficult morning)so hopefully we'll both came out of it victorious

Technically I would have had to work during the SP as well on Friday but my coworker will cover a part of my shift so that I can go to work after the SP at NHK !

Hopefully both of you’ll have a successful Friday

.... That does it, following the pink Saitama KnC it's clear the set designers are getting inspiration straight from their GOAT, whether JSF want them to or not.

Momoka Hatasaki, Japan Novice A Champion, started to skate after she saw Yuzuru in TV and was shocked. She wants to win Olympics.

Ryoga Morimoto, Japan Novice A Champion, admires quality in Yuzuru's jumps. He wants to win Olympics.

Hiroto Honda, silver medalist, wants to be amazing performer like Yuzuru. (In past he also said that he wants to jumps quints, but currently he is working on 3lz).

Tomoki Kimura, bronze medalist, watched Sochi Olympics with parents and started imitating Yuzuru's movements. Mom told him to start skating, if he likes it so much.

Yes!  I remember Andrei Kutovoi from an earlier JPG event this year!  From among the large group of young Russian skater rising from the ranks, he was the most memorable - even more than Gmenik.   Not surprising that he appreciates Yuzuru's style of skating. 

 

Kuvtovoi is so young (13 yo?) and yet already has such pzzazz and an incredible expressiveness that just took my breath away.  I hope he will also be able to master the technical jumps and not be discarded in a pile of "artistic but not quadster" group of skaters.   I blame the current ISU leadership for not creating an enabling and supportive environment for such young talents.  

 

Great thing to anticipate!

This particular issue of the magazine will have freebies for the readers. Planned freebies are 美ST limited design of phiten beauty power tape and Sekkisei beauty skin care trio set. Also the special feature of the issue will be "How to turn back the clock of your skin" targeting people in 40's & 50's. Oh what a fanyu trap  The OP got other posts speculating about what kind of Yuzu pic they're planning. One of the previous covers was Shou Hirano (King & Prince) appearing topless...say no more

appearing on a cover of a magazine that is named Beauty: how appropriate!!

It will be a bestseller for sure....
