100 (and counting!) Reasons To Love Yuzuru Hanyu

Featured Replies

161.  For his emotional intelligence and sensitivity, such as noticing Brian's pain following the death of his father (even though Brian told no-one) and for dedicating Worlds 2017 Notte Stellata to Brian's Dad  :10742288:

162. For his extra, in-character bows 

 

Gosh hadn't realised he does this.  How funny.  So obvious when you see the clips.  Love him. ❤️

156. For introducing us to new music through his pre-competition lip syncing.

And getting us addicted too!!! 😜 

162.  For his beautiful mannerisms, including this one:

163.  For wearing his necklaces (and ALL his rituals when competing: touching the ice, squishing Pooh's face, checking his axes....) but mostly the necklaces because they give him a unique look, a little wild/quirky.

164.  For SEIMEI 

 

(that leap from R&J and POTO to this innovative and exciting programme in terms of music, culture, language, personal meaning, imagination was just something else......)

 

165.  For editing his own music

Adding to some fun pieces:

 

166.  For his strawberry cake tissue box hiding Pooh-san away (in his heart!) 

167.  For always wearing the black sendai rink gloves everywhere he goes, and sharing them as gifts to his coaches and skating friends...

168.  For his sweats, and that he sweats a lot!  (really don’t get it why he sweats so much more than others after his performance?)

 

Since there are recent updates or debates about which battles he chose or might be pushed to fight, or whether he walked in clutches or could take a wheelchair, think of these additionally:

 

169.  For he believes in himself and what he believes, whether it is about on ice, off-ice or as a person...

 

170.  For he is actually the one most not afraid of failures (while he loves to win and hates to lose)... or he would not have competed at all, or after 330 points or after 1st/2nd olympic...

 

171.  For his weakness... fans love you as you are a real, pure and true person, so it is fine to have weakness and you don’t have to be perfect all the times, so that we feel you as part of us, but not an alien or fairy unreachable!  And parents accept and love their kids’ strength and weakness as well as you said

 

And since it is the day today:

 

172.  For no words can truly explain why......  whether it is love at first sight, or love just quietly develops over time and one suddenly realises it one day that it has already become part of daily lives to rewatch some of your performance or watch out for your news, or just cry and laugh along with you... 

:embSwan:

 

Happy Birthday!!!   :7938863::7938863::7938863: 

Dont worry, be happy and healthy!!!  :7938863::7938863:

 

After today, there's this:

 

173. For the way he elevates the whole competition when he's in it, and the way competitions kind of suck without him. Yuzu, skating itself absolutely needs you; when you're not around everyone goes splat and then some get overscored...:sorrow:

174. For giving me a new word - kuyashii - which is surprisingly useful in modern life :yznotimpressed:

175.  I just posted this on my IG account and realised it should be number 175 of reasons to love Yuzuru :) 

 

176.  THIS - look what Yuzu said 😭

 

  • 2 weeks later...

177 - it's shallow, but I don't think anyone's mentioned it yet and I saw a picture that reminded me just how much I love it... the way his mouth quirks up at the right side.

178 - I'll raise you on shallow: that slender neck and vulnerable throat...

And while we're at it, how about his hairline in the back, with the two little wisps that fan out to either side?

179. The fact that there are so many different details about him to focus on and love, and yet the whole remains far greater than the sum of the parts. 

( Also, once more, with feeling, for The Waist!)
