¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 14 分ぐらい, kaerbさんが言いました: We may just have to agree to disagree on this one. But just to clarify, I'm only talking about a costume colour change, not any other type of media/PR packaging - no 'stamping out the non-PR sides of him' needs to happen, just a change of fabric (colour...). When I refer to 'packaging', I'm just using it as shorthand to talk about his costumes/visual presentation, not his personal brand or personality/how his personality comes across. I don't agree costumes don't matter but I agree it'll be relatively negligible if he delivers his ideal skates and it definitely won't be the deciding factor if he loses. Like I said earlier, if this is what he needs to deliver, I won't begrudge him for it. I won't pretend that I agree wholeheartedly with the decision though - I think there were better choices they could have made that could have achieved a better balance between remaining true to Yuzu while also not causing him disadvantages from the media side. Especially given his history with costume changes, this is an uncharacteristic decision...but hey, it's not boobskirt 2.0 so it's not going to be a disaster and I'm not freaking out over it being a disaster.* (the boy's a smart cookie, the fact he's very good with the media doesn't surprise me. But branding and media/journalism are different games to play) *this is probably my Yuzu-level perfectionism talking - can't help seeing a more 'ideal' image and being kuyashii that we were so close but not quite there. I'll get over it. He won't read any of this anyway lol I just enjoy shouting into the void... Lol. I hear ya. Guy could use a tweak here and there, even if it ultimately may not have a huge impact in the grand scheme of things, but it wouldn't hurt to have them among all the other intricate details he's poured into his athletic career. But hey, it is what it is. He's still a helluva skater and if he manages to deliver what he wants, or close to what he wants, we're all happy. I capiche. 👌 Link to comment

I think it will be altered to fix a few problems with the under collar etc. and maybe more sparkles. (Please more sparkles!) Why do all these comps feel so far when they're so close? Link to comment

How sweet to be a judge this season. He only did one-arm seal at the end in even in practice. I wonder what it means. Link to comment
