The title of the video on Youtube is Yuzuru "playboy" Hanyu. As if he was taking off his top to impress?

Got it - thanks.

Eh, only a little. He was the gold medalist in Pyeongchang, after all - and it's not like any of our men landed on the podium...oh no I said it

The last semifinal before the ultimate battle:

PC SEIMEI vs H&L vs 4CC Chopin

 

[monchan]

Btw, following the Vietnamese publication, the Jpn publisher also signed with local Chinese and Taiwanese publishers to release Chinese ver. of 'Aoi Honoo' in near future. Anticipate!

Hope Eng trans of Yuzu's books get published someday!

This is insane! How can one choose between these three????

Guys, I actually made it home! It took so long. I'm now locked up at home for 14 days but at the very least, I did come home to my new Stick Figure Skating bag with the one of Zu sweeping up the poohs at 4CC. It's been waiting for me for a few weeks now. I'm going to use it at school next term and see if any kids cotton on. Probably not, but maybe they'll ask and then I can convert them all.

I think this is new  

for anyone who needs Yuzu content (like me)

 

His determination is giving me the strength I need now and also his English is amazing now!!

 

From 6:19 to 6:24, we can see Yuzuru Hanyu's kamon/mon.

Do you think it is a personal one, or his family's? It looks a bit like the Asai clan's (extinct in 1573), but it is not the same. The Asai one (as well as the Itsukushina shrine in Hiroshima) have the three hexagons, with a four-petal flower in each. Here I don't see what is in the hexagons. Plus, it is not circled, while Yuzuru Hanyu's is circled. I have found a circled mon (still with a four-petal flower in each hexagon), it is called kiko/kikko, which seems to mean tortoise shell, and I don't know if it relates to a family — or if it is his. If it is, I feel he may have had fun dedicating ANA's A380 models, painted with tortoises. ;-)

I have no knowledge at all about Japanese heraldry (I don't even know how many petals the Imperial chrysanthemum has), and very little about European heraldry, so if anybody knew more on the matter...

I wouldn't panic over Yuzu's enforced inactivity.  For him it's a 'been there, done that' situation.  What he did when he was injured and unable to step foot on the ice, in terms particularly, of his visualizations, he can do again.  He can even go so far as to choose the music for his next programs, edit them (he's been doing that for quite some time) and then lay out the programs he wants to do with the music.  Everything can be done at home and by doing so when the time comes that TCC reopens he can go and hit the ice skating.  I'm certain he's already doing things at home to maintain and strengthen his physical fitness.  In terms of his experience with enforced inactivity in certain recent seasons and how he successfully proceeded once he was able to get back on the ice should let us know that he is probably better equipped to deal with the current situation than almost any other skater.  Yuzu has shown he can use his time doing nothing by making sure that time is spent doing significant somethings.

I can't believe I completed a whole season following Yuzu (and a few other skaters). I feel like I've gained so much knowledge over the past several months from technicalities to music and other random stuff. FS is the ONLY sport that I bothered to understand scoring rules. It's like preparing for an exam in and of itself. I'm super excited for what's in store next season!

Certainly, he is the most able to make the best of it, and I am sure nobody panic. Yet I suppose he will need months to get his level back. Maybe less than others, but still.

 

 

About his kamon, this site doesn't tell which it is :

As to the three kikko with circle, here something more :

https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/戸室氏

Here is a Google translation of the paragraph :

 

Mr. Shibamato Muro
It is considered an old house in Shibamata, Katsushika-ku, Tokyo. The royal family, Ishiteruyama Shosh 院 in Shinko-ji Temple, has a grave from the 16th year of Genwa (1617) and an inscription from the 6th year of culture (1809). Until the Meiji era, the company was engaged in agriculture on and around the current Shibamata Taishakuten approach, but commenced commercial and residential land management in the Taisho and early Showa eras, such as rice shops, rice crackers, and tobacco shops. Has shifted from agriculture. The family crest is "3 rounds and 3 turtles, Kabishi" [9] [10] [11].

Family crest in a circle

 

(and on Wikimedia Common, the name of the crest is Maru ni mitumori Kikkou ni Hanabishi)

Here, the pictures in the hexagons don't look that much like the previous ones? But in heraldry terms, are they the same or different? (Sorry for the article relating crap.)

Edit : does the beginning of this article relate to it? I can't do anything of it with Google translation.

Edit 2 : and this paragraph from another article?

では羽生結弦選手は、成人式のために用意した紋付羽織袴から

丸に三つ盛亀甲の説が有力で、亀甲紋のバリエーションみたい。

でも丸に三つ盛亀甲花菱という説もあり

これは三つ盛亀甲紋と、花菱紋のミックスらしい。

羽生結弦　羽織袴　家庭画報

もし花菱紋なら勝海舟もらしいけど

三つ盛亀甲花菱なら

滋賀の浅井長政公や、新潟の直江兼続公が有名らしい。

 

ただし三つ盛亀甲花菱説の花菱とは少々くせものです。

戦国時代は家紋の意匠に対する意識はルーズで

花菱だけでなく、唐花や剣花菱とか資料によってバラバラだと。

だから羽生結弦選手の家紋は、丸に三つ盛亀甲の説が無難かも！

Easy. Pick H&L. It's the ultimate skate ever done.
