I want that phone case.

It’s one-off, I am afraid, and it’s Yuzu’s.

But I really want it.   Perhaps when he gets a new case, he can send this on to me.

Prince passed away in April 2016, so he had died before Jeff and Yuzu put the program together (LGC premiered in Sept 2016). So he never saw it. However, I do believe that recently, a spokesperson for Prince's estate did comment favorably on Yuzu's interpretation of the song. Unfortunately I can't find the quote back, though.

Oh, sorry, I thought he had already skated it the previous season. So it was a tribute from the beginning?

I LOVE Etude so much that I'm having it as my ringtone . There's no other ringtone I've kept for so long except the default one 

 

My ringtone is one of the few things that is not directly Yuzu-related, but... in a way it is

Yes, and Yuzu only skated it in the 2016-17 season. His last competitive performance of it, at WTT 2017, was in fact on Prince's birthday.

This post has a picture of Yuzu’s message if that’s any help to anyone. 
And there’s a glorious Yuzu+Javi picture here. Along with the famous phone case.

I have to get twitter to that and I can't be bothered to be dragged into another social network bog. :D.

In competition, though, WTT was it.

The good news:

I finally edited a version of Haruyo Koi with no commentary, clap or other noises. You can watch it on YouTube everywhere except Japan (it's the same with Hope & Legacy). Here it is:

 

 

 

Bad news:

I tried to edit a clap-free version of Requiem as well, but sadly it's not possible with my material. I found three different recordings of the piano piece, but none of them matches Yuzu's skating at all. They are either too fast or too slow or whatever... I tried to adjust speed and rhythm so that it fits the skating, but the sound gets so high-pitched or dissonant that it hurts my ears and not even the mixer or equalizer can help

 

If anyone has access to the exact recording that Yuzu used in the 15/16 season and is free to share it... I would be so happy

Thank you so much! Pure beauty!

Afterwards Youtube recommended me your edition of part of Let's Go Crazy on Hit the Road! Jack music; in spite of my wish not to watch LGC before tomorrow because of all what had been said I watched it and (without bad pun) it was a "hit". And Ray Charles estate seeming less picky than Prince's, it should remain online.

I think, I've never told the background story of this "Hit the road, Jack" overlay, right?

 

In the 2017 off-season there was a huge deletion wave on YouTube that hit Yuzu's LGC videos in the first place. You could barely find footage, only with muted or completely distorted audio. So I thought, it would be nice to upload an enjoyable version of his GPF performance that won't have any copyright issues. But I had no idea, how to do it.

 

Mom was joking that I should pick a different music piece that is not on YouTube's blacklist (so yeah, she was the trigger of this fun edit actually) 

I tried out different audio tracks from my own library (mostly pop/rock songs) and then I stumbled across 'Hit the road, Jack' and randomly put the audio and the video together...

 

I totally lost it when I realised how perfectly Yuzu sings along with Ray Charles and even his nod was right on the note  

 

So yeah. The result was: I could not NOT upload this gem on YouTube
