Makuhari pudding is the only valid pudding because costume had leather-like part aND I WILL NEVER FORGIVE HIM THAT HE CHANGED IT

Me same LOL, but the problem with the Makuhari ver is that it was too hot, so he had to switch the materials. Bless Ito-San for fixing it so quickly tho. I guess the same went for Kaori. The first ver of her Matrix FS (and the ver that she wore only once at IDF) looked super badass but the leather just left no room for wiggling around. Oh the price for beauty

According to this, Shuzo's interview with Yuzu on 4A will be aired on Houdou Station (TV Asahi) 12th of April 21:45 - 23:10 JST.

 

 

 

If you're interested, you will be able to watch it on here.

ETA: The Japanese title 修造が聞く羽生結弦の四回転半 is missing "who" is asked by Shuzo so it could be Shuzo asking about YUzu's 4A to some specialists

Without Orser and his team, Yuzu will not have built up the fantastic skating skills.  Yuzu himself knew he needed to develop new skills that he could not get while skating in Japan, so he personally chose Orser and TCC as the place to continue his growth.  NHK documentary on Yuzu's early days at TCC in 2013 offers great inside look at this story.  I am deeply deeply sorry you feel this way and recommend that you watch this (must be in the PH video archives).  

 

I believe that this is the NHK documentary that you are referring to – “Spirits of the Athletes” (2012). Click the subtitles/closed caption button to turn on English subtitles. I am not hopeful that it will make any difference to the person to whom you have directed the above message even if he or she bothers to watch it.

I like sporty casual watches but I have thin wrists and small hands so the over-sized watch would look too much on me. 

So if Citizen can come up with Yuzu themed watch with UA version like something simple, sporty and slim, I'd love to have one

This is on a very personal note, but the watch that I have been using for the past two decades (Gasped!!! 2 decades already!!!!) somehow is athletic while still soft and elegant. It'd be great to get something along the line from Citizen too

You can don't keep your CC info on the new site. Iirc, there is a checkbox to untick for you to opt not to keep your CC info on the website for future purchase. I was worried for my first purchase in T-mall too but thankfully it arrived intact even though it took a long time. Still, I always worry about long delivery time as it may get lost en route. I just kind of treat such online purchase as a gamble... if you don't mind a loss...

 

Frankly, I just hope Citizen won't come out with any more watches collaboration. I doubt I will wear them as I prefer my watches from other brand. But I really like the Origin one and have wanted a full black watch. I will probably wear this occasionally but not the swanyu one (don't ask me why i bought the latter. it's a very impulsive moment).

I doubt I'll wear it either to be honest. It's more just because of how cool a collab it is, and I'd like to at least try for one...but only one and done 🙈.

I almost thought that you meant he knew he looked too hot in that costume, so he had to switch it to prevent a massive heart attack incident....

I believe some of us had died on that day. It was criminally hot...

Well, that certainly is one absolutely correct way of taking it . Were you on Twitter around the time when Masquerade made its debut? “I died” was sort of the general consensus .

 

But Yuzu literally said (the leather part) was too hot for him

The absolute taste if that's true! I bet he has a fun time bopping at competitions then; organizers seem to all be Swifties lol 

 

I was just listening to Taylor's re-recording of the Fearless album a couple of hours ago, and am now going through folklore + evermore as we speak v-v

Yes, I was on Twitter. I still remember I was refreshing Twitter madly but it was a total silence for a while, then the messages appeared but all of them were about how everybody died.

And we were wondering for what felt like hours what it was they saw. Because first reactions actually resembled death throes, something totally incoherent. Choking on too much beauty and passion.

It is a relief to hear that it was not only me who could not stop a funny choked-like sound gasping out from my mouth when I first watched Makuhari Masquerade

The only source I managed to find is this article from 2011: 

https://www.goldenskate.com/2011/04/shooting-for-the-top/

 

I'm uncertain how credible it is, but it lists his favorite music as J-pop, Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga. 

 

(It's worth point out that while the framing of the article (and lack of sources) looks like an interview, it names Sing Sing Sing as a piece he would like to skate to in the future. Since he skated to that music 2007-2008, it's possible the article is using older quotes and/or a bad translation.)

 

This article was actually published only about a month after the earthquake, and it's amazing to see how he was already thinking about how he could give back and give people strength. It reminded me of his WTT message as well.

I hope the planking champion fanyu managed to buy one.

I thought of him the second I saw the new design. I hope he got one, too.

Also valid.
