The serenity of Ballade on a background of blues roses.

 

This may have been discussed before, in Japanese the word for rose is bara. Hence, people associate ballade or rather 'barrade' with roses because there is no L in the Japanese language. 

 

Edit: 

Rose growers have been attempting to produce a true blue rose for centuries, yet this continues to elude them. The blue rose is still a beautiful dream. Rose lovers wait for the appearance of a blue rose, myself included. Perhaps it could be named 'Ballade' or even better 'Yuzuru', one can only hope.

A soft expression like the feathers which also feature in his name - Ha or wa, the counter for birds.

 

The floating feathers bring to mind the small wisps of dream fragments which we try to remember before fully waking.

Wrap Yuzu in softness and keep him close to our hearts

Hoping that this is a dream which will go on forever

Debut of 'Dream' from Prologue

The best way to get Ubutan to do the elegant Yuzu pose is to motivate him with his beloved milk bottle. 

Prologue a solo Ice Show, completely ground breaking and without precedent. It seems as though many Fanyus were in a state of disbelief, even after viewing with their own eyes. It truly is a fairy tale come true and now our beloved Yuzu is a legendary figure, just as he deserves to be.
