That rondo healed me from the certain illness I’ve suffered, not alone I believe, since February 2022.

March 3, 20233 yr il y a 3 heures, yuzupon a dit : C'est alors que mes larmes ont commencé à couler (elles ne se sont arrêtées qu'à la moitié de l'entracte). Ce rondo m'a guéri de la maladie dont je souffrais, pas la seule je crois, depuis février 2022. parce qu'il a vaincu son "démon" et ce qui m'a vraiment ému : quand il a touché la glace à la fin de son Rondo dans ce "putain de trou" et j'ai aussi remarqué qu'à la fin de son message par écrit, Yuzu écrit FIN en français et pourquoi pas en japonais J'ai eu du mal à suivre les paroles traduites en anglais et avec votre aide précieuse , je peux mieux comprendre la narration de son CADEAU L'Oiseau de feu est aussi un opéra : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/L'Oiseau_de_feu Voilà un résumé que j'ai compris avec l'aide de la traduction https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uem4pKVEe_w

I'm glad things worked out for Yuzuru's team, since we weren't expecting to have them during the live stream While rewatching GIFT yesterday, I paid closer attention to the credits shown to see who the translator was—Alexander Farrell / LIBER was credited. I Googled Alexander's name and found out that he's a freelance translator and also photographer and writer based in Kyoto. His website is https://www.kyotoandbeyond.com/ I decided to send Alexander a message of thanks for his work, and for helping to bring Yuzuru's vision for GIFT to life I actually got a reply from Alexander today and I'm posting his response to me below, with his permission: Since Alexander is in Japan, I let him know that he can watch GIFT on Disney+ and he said that he'd check it out Oh thanks for sending him an email! And thanks for posting his reply! Quote blessing and a harbinger of doom to its captor Oh this is so true! Blessing until he competed, a harbinger of doom now that is pro. And I can't wait to see their doom. Thanks for searching about the difference. I actually didn't know about the difference.

A cold and windy day under a cloudless sky of azure. Tens of thousands of Poohs and Satellites had made the journey to the south and gathered before the gates of Castle Dome. The crowds swirled and jostled, Castle Dome was festooned with banners depicting Emperor Hanyu and many Poohs had brought their own favourite portraits of the Emperor as well as flags and beloved miniatures depicting the Emperor's visage. The gates finally opened and the Poohs were admitted to the courtyard of the Castle. Seats had been prepared and each spectator was given a tiny lantern with which to join in with story telling. The atmosphere had a sense of great occasion but also one of festival and joy. Once the spectators had all found their seats a hush descended and the Court Musicians emerged from behind screens. The covered courtyard was dark and the crystal screen flickered in the gloom as the music played. Pictures of Planet Hanyu appeared with important dates in the Emperor's life. Suddenly the crystal screened was emblazoned with the fiery wings of the mythical Phoenix or Firebird, an opening appeared in the screen and the Emperor emerged, glorious and wearing the plumage of the powerful Firebird. He alighted onto the ice and was a brilliant flame on the glistening ice surface, retelling the story of one of his early triumphs now tied to the adult Emperor's power. The screen now revealed the Emperor telling the stories of how he learned to harness the power of the ice, how the ice helped him attain glory but also was on occasion the source of sorrow and despair, how the Emperor had battled with internal conflict and external pressure to eventually heal and become whole again, The Pooh and Satellites wept tears of anguish but also love for their most beloved Emperor. The Emperor danced on the ice again and again, showing his love for nature, the seasons, dreams and fun times. The Emperor paid tribute to swans, the Mage, great composers past and present. To the delight of the spectators the tiny lanterns glowed different colours in keeping with the theme of each story, everyone waved their own lantern. The stories were so beautiful and now would be destined to live on both in the Imperial archives and in the hearts and souls to all who witnessed them. If it were even possible the Poohs and Satellites grew to love their Emperor even more than before. Emperor Hanyu had shared something incredibly precious and he would be ever more treasured in return. The magical evening ended and a sense of healing and love descended upon Planet Hanyu. The Satellites and Poohs showed their affection and loyalty to the Emperor, screaming, applauding, waving banners and the tiny lanterns. These were stories to be experienced and shared, to be captured and cherished always. Finally proper media coverage 😂
March 3, 20233 yr Fanboy Ean Weiler also watched GIFT🤗 [NEWS] Look at his face how curious he is watching the show.
March 3, 20233 yr Been inspired to rewatch 2014 GPF with various commentators. Obviously Max has to be no 1, but after him I like the Spanish ladies. JF was there in silver medal position, but unlike others who do not deserve to be named, they could appreciate what was in front of them and seemed genuinely appreciative and admiring, able to praise the winner and be regretful for their compatriot without getting bitchy or biased. I love it - from the Phantom’s intimidating gaze at the judges / cameras at the start, to his laughing face as he picks himself up from falling at the last jump, secure in the knowledge that he’s won, and still has a couple of spins to clock up more points for security. I love all his programmes but not equally. Phantom is still one of my absolute favourites- which is remarkable because I really don’t like the musical itself. IIRC it seemed like most of the Japanese skaters of note used it around then, some better than others but none as amazing as this. Don’t even get me started on Zagitova’s effort - I may not like the musical but it deserved better than that butchery. Given all that happened that season I can understand why it might not be his best memory of putting out a new programme- the collision, the operation, the ankle - it was a perfect storm of a season. But for me, it was his first striking out to do what he wanted to do - I believe that in SLB he found a collaborator rather than a mentor telling him what to do, and somehow between illness and injury he got it out there - not perfect but beautiful. With hindsight his fingerprints are all over it- the music cut, the choreo, costume no 2, - it’s a baroque pearl, and the treatment he gave it at Gift was the perfect setting for it.
