Leo Ishizuka, another kohai skater of Yuzu in Waseda is congratulating Yuzu on his graduation.

https://twitter.com/ishiyy1414/status/1325718269131567107

Translation of his message:
"Yuzuru Hanyu senshu,
Congratulations on your graduation!
I feel honored to belong to Waseda with you and to have been able to compete together at the All Japan Championships last year for the first time in my life!
I will continue to work hard, taking pride in being your kohai!

#Yuzuru Hanyu senshu
#Congratulations on your graduation!"

You can find Yuzu in Leo profile picture (It is the one taken after JNats last year)

 

Translation of Shingo's message posted above by Fay :
"Hanyu senpai, congratulations on your graduation! I found the news in Waseda's PR magazine. I have to study hard like you!"

According to the article linked in the original tweet, "72,000,000 yen" is the total amount of donation people made to a fund established to support people engaging in medical or welfare services during the spread of COVID-19, and about 27,800,000 yen of it is from the proceeds of the merchandise of Yuzuru Hanyu Online Exhibition.

Thanks to the translator.

 

I linked to the original post yesterday, but then found out that it was taken from jisin.jp, which publishes a lot of tabloids and stuff (so I hid/retracted my link). Also stalking Yuzu in Sendai some months ago? I think it's them  I don't think Yuzu's advisor knows about this bad side of the newspapers which he gave interview to tho

 

Anyway, the good news is the article itself is written by a credible journalist with clear, trackable sources and quotes, and the contents, as we all see, are excellent. Thanks @Anni for linking them here.

 

Another good news is his thesis receives good words from professors elsewhere, like here

And Yuzu himself is fondly talked about by his advisor, as evident here:

Probably a bit early to discuss this but Beijing schedule was just released. 

 

Schedule for the Men's event looks pretty bad. Was it like this in Pyeongchang also? 

 

PS: I couldn't find it anymore but someone pointed out that all the events in which the US is more likely to medal are arranged to fit in prime time  Oh well....

According to Noto san, this photo book is meant to be "a photo exhibition you can see at home" during this time when it is difficult to hold an actual exhibition. All the pages are A3 in size, so you can enlarge a photo to A2 maximum by using a spread. Noto san is excited that it would enable them to present the photos impressively.

 

https://twitter.com/sunao_noto/status/1329624578927128582

According to this tweet, the book is likely to consist of photos taken during shows only (no behind-the-scenes photos) He says they are still selecting photos.

 

https://twitter.com/sunao_noto/status/1329711097524363264

Also, he says the sales department of the publisher is now trying to figure out what option they can offer to fans outside of Japan who are hoping to pre-order the book.

During the COR live broadcast Hungarian commentator and official ISU judge, Noemi Stipkovits, mentioned Yuzu's graduation thesis and talked about digitization in FS:

 

https://mobile.twitter.com/Cosmos941207/status/1329924834982293504

 

Here is my English translation of the Hungarian commentary (please correct me, if I got something wrong):

 

' [Samodurova's] jumps have no height, so I can hardly imagine her to do a quad. We will see in the replays - there you can see the height and distance of the jump better.

There are endeavors... I don't know how far we will go in the direction of digitization. Hanyu, too - Yuzuru Hanyu has written his graduation thesis about this - how the executed elements in figure skating can be measured more objectively. And the ISU has made efforts, too. There have been TV broadcasts already, where you can see the skater's speed such as the height and distance of the jump. '

 

 

Edit: If I remember correctly, the Ice Scope is an innovation made by Japanese broadcast (Fuji TV?) and not exactly an 'effort by the ISU'... However. I think, it's nice that Yuzu's thesis got mentioned (by an official ISU judge). That means, they have it on the radar at least and don't try to treat it like a cloud of dust.

Japanese TV just announced that Yuzu will be competing at the Japanese Nationals in Dec!

https://twitter.com/ukiukiyuzu19/status/1331495518875181057?s=20

 

Yuzu is entry number 20:

 

https://twitter.com/aim_high__/status/1331496089237606400?s=20

 

Yuzu's name is on the entry list, but according to Nikkan Sports;

"He will cautiously decide if he will take part in the competition. The situation is fluid, but the chance of his participation in Japan Nationals is not zero now." https://www.nikkansports.com/sports/news/202011250000569.html

So obviously, as of now he  doesn't tell JSF any intention of WD, but it seems like he will see the situation of Covid19 in December and decide if he will go to Nagano.

https://twitter.com/amyuzu1012/status/1331504566723108865

So the list basically means nothing.

I have a gut feeling he will WD. Besides his considerateness, he might not want to show smt half-assed. I doubt his new programs are ready to be shown at this point.
