Hmm, according to this tweet it looks like a CitizenXYuzu watch will be released midnight September 30? Price is 6880 yuan.

Google translate says the watches will be sold on a first come first serve basis, 1207 watches and the theme will be “startled swan” (it’s one of the poetic terms chinese commentators used to describe Yuzu, hard to translate to english without it sounding weird)

 

So far the purchase link is only up on Taobao (a Chinese online shopping website, I think to buy from there if you aren’t in China you need to have an agent or something? Anyway Citizen hasn’t announced in one their Weibo account as far as I am aware, it’s just this link that’s up on Taobao... But maybe they will post it soon, I’ll check! 

 

 

 

Is it derived from the legendary commentary by CCTV commentator 陳瀅 ?

Yes it is!! I think she’s also the same lady that said this?

 

I can’t find the video where she said 容颜如玉 身姿如松 翩若惊鸿 婉若游龙 though... anyone knows where it is??

 

(it’s a poetic phrase to describe Yuzu’s beauty and grace but I honestly don’t know how to translate it properly without losing all the meaning...)

 

ETA: found it!! In the interesting comments thread, thank you @Geo1 !!

It has english subs and starts around the 5:18 mark, right when Yuzu finishes his skate.

Hi everyone!

 

Sadly... my computer, 8 years old and reliable companion, passed away this week... and with him the last permanent license for Adobe Photoshop and Premiere. So, I will not be able to produce new video clips and other digital artworks for a while 

 

One of the last montages that I created with my old friend was a flashback video of Yuzu's skating since Pyeongchang 2018. Retrospectively, I'm so glad that I made it in time. When I listened to the lyrics of this song, I had to think of Yuzuru immediately. Especially the return of the Biellmann spin in Torino made me sob and smile again

Wow that's pretty!! Unfortunately not my style esp because I don't wear watches but still...pretty 

Many young people do not wear watches.  Their cellphones are the timepieces.

Aesthetically, I am not fond of the band.  I preferred his previous watch.

I am sure it will be sold out in no time as 1207 watches is not a lot when you consider his fanbase.

RIP to your computer.  He did a lot of good and enriched many lives with his efforts!

 

The final production is magnificent, I had tears in my eyes listening to the lyrics and your wonderful editing....no words

[Dreamer]

I was recently given my own office...so now I can close the door, take off my mask and play music in the background while I work. 

I have put up a clearfile of Yuzu, which makes me smile automatically, and am wondering if I should splurge on that Yuzu wall calendar...it works out to $50 dollars CDN  with shipping and duties!!!

 

 

I could also pull out the posters in my many Yuzu mags

Thank you so much, @FlyingCamel

I wanted to hear her commentary again 

 

Unfortunately, the part of swan is missing from the English subs 

So, I looked for the translation of the original poem of 曹植 Cao Zhi.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cao_Zhi

 

And I found this. This is a poem (ode) describing the Goddess of River beautifully.

 

https://www.ourenglish.org/NKAlumni/Chenshuiming/Ode-Luoshen04012012.html

 

翩若惊鸿 婉若游龙

"Her moving step is graceful just like that of the startled swan, and as elegant and swift as that of the swimming goddess fish."

 

The goddess fish may be the same as dragon, although I'm not sure.  The first 翩 seems to mean "to turn, flutter, fly fast, etc." in google translator.  

 

Addition:

This translation may be better.

"Her body soars lightly like a startled swan,
Gracefully, like a dragon in flight"

I agree with you there. The band is the only thing I don't like about the watch.  All white gold or black leather would look much nicer with the colors of the watch face or maybe if they made the band more bracelet-like. I don't like yellow gold in general, but I suppose it wouldn't be Yuzu if there wasn't gold. There's so much thought in all the details.

 

I'm sure it'll sell out quickly but a part of me is still a little concerned - it's definitely a particular aesthetic.  I really hope that it's a huge success so we can see more of the Yuzu/Citizen collaboration.

They went full fanart for the CM. That's one way to do it without having to do an actual shoot, I guess 

 

 

The explanation of all the details... they really went full fanyu for the design, he?

I like this final version of the watch. I didn't really care for the "pink clouds". Since it's Notte Stellata, I prefer a night sky as the background with stars, but the blue background with the clouds is fine. The "comet" flying across the sky is very cool and the diamond accent is nice too. I LOVE his signature on the back!

 

The gold/silver/black combination for the watch is interesting. I would prefer an all gold band instead of the silver/gold band, but it's not a deal-breaker. I don't like leather bands cuz they stick to my skin and make me sweaty. I prefer metal bands cuz I wear my watch slightly loose so it slides around a little and doesn't stick to me.

 

I hope the watch sells out quickly before I figure out a way to buy it through a proxy. 

 

ETA: That watch box is beautiful too!

[Veveco]

This counts as a new white wall video, right? Thank you for the crumbs, C-chan

Hmm, that’s interesting! I’ve never seen anyone translate 龙 as goddess fish, to the best of my knowledge it just means dragon haha.

 

and yes I think the last translation there is a pretty good one!!

 

Omg haha, the heart sign!!

 

I love the watch design, and the box as well!! The box is really fitting the theme of Notte Stellata!! Starry night haha. And if anything I feel like even for some fans who may not be fond of the design, the Yuzu signature at the back may be enough for them to buy the watch hehe 🙈 Yuzu’s handwriting is so cute!

 

I feel like the questions in Chinese from Citizen make it sound like it was a one-on-one date with Yuzu but Yuzu’s responses include words like “everyone” “all the citizen fans” 🙈😝
