March 14, 20233 yr Thank you, @Anni! Perfect timing, the day it ends I will be able to plunge into NS. (Although giving an addict more drugs might not be the best idea, but at least my Japanese will improve, as I will probably have managed to memorise every word of the story by the time this streaming expires 😅).

Anyway I’m happy to see our banner there!!! HK fans are amazing!
March 19, 20233 yr twt post written by a Film student, translated into English. The student writes very eloquently about the art form portrayed in GIFT through the skating and the story telling. Concur wholeheartedly with their sentiments, GIFT could easily be shown at a film festival, it a auto biography told through the medium of performance art and monologue It is possible to leave a review for GIFT on IMDB https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26919016/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 It would immensely validating for Yuzu if there were lots of 10/10 reviews. Same cam be done for Prologue
March 19, 20233 yr Please forgive my musings, but the article written by the film student has really got me thinking about this Thinking about Gift and the content of the Ice Story. The show was a carefully crafted performance created using beautiful skating programmes but also the story telling aspect. Gift did not spontaneously 'pop' into existence but is the result of a very active and creative imagination and intellect. Yuzu must have had many ideas about how he might convey his personal story and I wonder if some of his notebooks contain the seeds of these ideas, in the sense of how he would express his story given the opportunity. The filming style where Yuzu showed the two aspects of his self as the positive and negative, his journey, his times being alone, the competition timeline all of these concepts would have needed to be communicated to film maker, animators, composers, the dancers, costume designer, set designer and lighting artist and so forth. From concept to execution the amount of work in order to realise any production is enormous. The finished work of GIFT ice story is so beautifully made it is really a masterpiece and deserves huge critical acclaim. Thank you for your indulgence.
March 19, 20233 yr The Yuzuru x Clamp GIFT manga collaboration - now available for preorder on amazon.co.jp (1st Sept publication) The art is gorgeous!!
March 20, 20233 yr Translation: "By putting it into words, my core gradually comes together. (It is important to send words) I cherish it when I face words that don't lie. (Become a model for how to deal with each other) When I was young, I didn't speak much. Ever since I was little, I loved making stories." (That's how it's expressed now) #羽生結弦 #GIFT from newspaper Aha - as suspected ( see musings above ) Yuzu has been thinking about this and creating these stories, since childhood. Gift is full of rich imaginings and multi layered meaning because it comes from a genius mind
