memae Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Rewatching Sochi FS while I wait for my hair to dry and had to pause after the 4S fall because apparently I still get worked up and nervous for Yuzu even though I know every step (figuratively speaking and puns all round) in this skate of this program like the back of my hand.

Understandably, the usually very crowded station looks emptier than usual, but the pics could also been taken during a non-rush hour. So the campaign has started and not only these beautiful ads, but the products themselves are available in Kyushu it seems ----although they are still expensive as cosmetics go! Link to comment

Much thanks! Unless you have a friend in Japan who can purchase them and send them to you, I think ordering them from Amazon.co.jp (which has the option of viewing in English) or CD Japan for books and magazines would be the most convenient. Unfortunately, the postage will be expensive with any option, even if a friend helps you out, but it helps if you have them shipped all together instead of when each become available, but of course you might have to wait longer to get them.

Much thanks! On what to get — there is so much I could not advise anyone:—). But I can say that ordering and shipping via amazon jp. never was a problem. The only thing here in Germany is, that one may get a phone call from the customs office if it is merchandise over 20 Euros. They once wanted a screenshot of the merch. Link to comment

I still gasp and get anxious whenever I watch his old programs too, lol. Even ones where I know he skated perfectly and broke the world record like H&L 2017. Link to comment

I find him also beautiful when angry, such at GPF (4A attempts and FS), I suppose there is no close photo from the 4A attempts, but from Origin? Plus, it was my preferred interpretation of this program, both the cut and the skate. Link to comment

Can you still advise me on what to get?😋 Preferably, I want to get something not too expensive, with lots of beautiful photos to flick through and sigh over lol. I don’t think I’ll have to worry about customs offices, they’re a lot less stringent here but thanks for the heads up! Link to comment
monchan Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 He's been on anan's cover almost every year recently! Even twice in 2017: 2 covers in 2017 are so sexy i loveeeee Link to comment

I am so sorry:-( I got the Blue Flame book, the latest video, and preordered the book about costumes. My other orders from Japan amazon were not Yuzu-related. As for for good and many pictures...probably the magazines? But I loved the Blue Flame book. For what you are looking for, especially good photos, there will be better tips from satellites here, I am sure. Greetings! edit: I got the „memorial 2019“ photobook. It is not only Yuzuru and is from Saitama, well, but it has many great photos of him nonetheless:-). Link to comment

I don’t think I’ll have to worry about customs offices, they’re a lot less stringent here but thanks for the heads up! It's really hard to choose from all those beautiful magazines but some that I like a lot and I could recommend: - DX magazine, this is the latest issue. This magazine often has over 90% Yuzu content, great pictures too - Figure Skate Magazine (x), this magazine has the transcripts of Yuzu interviews from competitions, it also has great amount of Yuzu content with good quality pictures of him, and usually 2 two-sided posters - Ice Jewels magazine (latest issue is here) is always a great choice, it has interviews with Yuzu, also very good quality pictures. Ice Jewels also releases Yuzu's season photobook every summer (it has Nobuaki Tanaka's pictures), I can highly recommend those! I also liked the PyeongChang Special Issue of Ice Jewels (no gala pictures though). - Kiss and Cry magazine is also good (this issue has posters in it too - I managed to put the Origin poster on the wall just a day before Yuzu's program change was published on his ISU bio . Never mind, it's a great poster: Spoiler - This photobook is more pricey but has beautiful pictures of Yuzu from his novice season until season 2017/2018 (and it says the author is Yuzu himself?). It is one of my favourites. - Yuzuru I and II with photos of Sunao Noto are also worth buying - Dancin' on the edge 2 - Yuzu'll be back is also a beautiful photobook that it is worth buying - I haven't bought Figure Skaters magazine for a long while, some say the quality of pictures aren't that good in some of the latest issues, but it's a big magazine (A3 size I think?), with over lots of Yuzu pictures and often posters Not magazines but Yuzu's autobiographies, Aoi Honoo 1 and 2 ("Blue Flame" 1 and 2) are a must They have beautiful pictures of Yuzu and contain his words from different interviews. For those who buy these books there are available translations (click here). The royalties from these book are donated to Ice Rink Sendai. Yume Wo Ikiru ("Live the Dream") contains Yuzu interviews from Ice Jewels Vol. 1-7 magazines (2015-2018), afterword by Yuzu + it also has beautiful pictures. Some people upload recommendations of the magazines, you can have a look and maybe you can decide which one do you like the most (here and here). Anyway, we have a Magazines and Books Recommendations and Reviews thread as well, where you can read more about the topic here: Link to comment
monchan Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 OMG you should visit SEKKISEI Miyabi's website: https://www.kose.co.jp/sekkisei_myb/jp_en/ Beautiful Yuzu right at your face This too: https://www.kose.co.jp/sekkisei_myb/yuzuru-hanyu/en/ Few months ago when I checked his face only appeared in Japan ver but now it's on for all languages. Global muse indeed Link to comment
SitTwizzle Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 And he is not a heavily made-up top model, they chose a photo taken "on ice". By the way, do you think he uses any make-up to compete? And for shows? Link to comment

FlyingCamel Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Yeah I don’t think he uses makeup too, he’s been seen rubbing and wiping his face right? Link to comment
