I got permanently suspended on Twitter for voicing some fairly sensible political opinions that a certain Tesla founder didn't like, so please post my share, thank you.

 

Seriously? I burst out laughing (not that you got suspended), but that he puts me in mind of someone still throwing toys out of his pram by doing so.  He's just too much....

I had to take a break to process Gift's second half... My thoughts:

 

1) Yes, he tapped his ass and I'm here for it (archive streaming, where art thou?)

2) The videos in between the performances were sometimes painful to watch, but I'm very thankful to him for (again) his lion-heart and honesty (he didn't have to show all that, but he DID)

3) I am amazed at his ability to make the show so intimate and personal, even with the (very) large audience

4) He's the gift that keeps on giving... Of course, I never wanted the show to end, but I was still surprised that he kept performing one program after another; and Seimei will always be the penultimate encore

5) It felt good to hear the audience screaming. At last at last, Yuzu is getting all the applause and cheers that he deserves

6) Also - dance lessons much? Our boy just keeps getting better and better - he's like a sponge, he absorbs everything, and never stops learning

 

Did I say he tapped his ass? Yeah? I'm dead - I'm writing from the grave :5918bda8ee9b0_0001(1):

I will be processing it for the next two weeks or so, I suppose  :heavybreathing:

Oh God, I have no words, but I feel the imperative to talk about what just happened anyway.

It was so valuable on so many levels. It wasn't a figure skating show, it wasn't even a show, it was a work of stage art.

So Yuzu-like (so many words :xD:), so deep, sincere, so esthetically pleasing, so unexpected, so... And his voice...  :loveeyes:  :girlsigh: :love:

Notte Stellata :crybaby::crybaby::crybaby:

Every single move so delicate and smooth, this celestial flow...

And on top of that, he is so otherwordly beautiful and handsome (I want that black coat, please). It must have been an amazing experience to watch his face on that huge screen live.

Finally, FINALLY he got the proper evaluation!

He looks totally otherwordly and ethereal. During the show, I was struck by his beauty again and again. He really keeps getting more and more beautiful. :girlsigh:

I look forward to more pics and hope there will be a DVD for sale. I'm sure the sales numbers would be huge.

Oh Goooooooooooooooooooosssshhhh I'll have to process that for the coming days! :heavybreathing::heavybreathing::heavybreathing:

 

I can't thank Yuzu enough :softYuzu::YuzuPoohSad:

 

Thank you for EVERYTHING (Yes, I mean EVERYTHING!!!)

Congrantulation for this Wonderful Show and Unforgettable show. Mr. Hanyu Yuzuru is much more than a figure skating artist athlete. He could also be a successeful story teller, novelist and poet. He has so many talents. The transmission was perfect. And lucky for us the story was translated in English. From what the story tells we could see how hard his life was and still is. I sincerely wish him to acknowledge how bright and special he is and to enjoy ecah moment and most of all to be happy and healthy. 

Yes, but what also struck me, especially in the second part, was that the way he told us the story made it something more than just a vivisection of a champion. On a certain level it was universal, very human and relatable.

I don't wanna talk about it too much because the Planet has a rule about Twitter drama, but it was definitely one of those :scratch3: moments. I wasn't even given a chance to fix my Tweets - just instant suspend and they've so far refused to reinstate me

I have never experienced anything like GIFT before. I just want to watch it all again and again. No matter how long the video is available it won't be enough time for me to process everything. Thank you, Yuzu. You are so loved :heart:
