It seems there are ACI pics there.

 

I have this magazine,it's beautiful (not sure what to say as a review,) 

[Floria]

I am looking for a magazine with the best GPF 2016 photos (except season's photobook, I already have it).

 

As  far as I know there are several ones available, but I don't know which one to buy

Thank you! I bought it a few days ago, hoping for GPF pics, but anyway it will be great with 95% of Yuzu content

Tsushin number 25:

Looks more like "usual" Tsushin

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but I'm going to Tokyo tomorrow and I wonder if anyone knows the best place to buy magazines/calendars etc. that's not in super crazy crowded impossible ridiculous confusing Shinjuku? Thanks!

I'm not even going to review this, I'm just going to tell you to buy it.

 

FIGURE SKATERS Vol.5 June 2017 Issue

 

[Floria]

I have bought recently this one:

 

 

https://www.amazon.co.jp/フィギュアスケート日本男子応援ブック-グランプリシリーズ開幕号-DIA-Collection/dp/4802303653/ref=pd_yo_rr_psims_i_4?ie=UTF8&language=en_US&psc=1&refRID=MZ9VAHJAM0SFSK0KW0B8

 

114 pages, only 10 pages with other skaters, everything else is Yuzu 

 

Photos from CoR 2017 (photos from practice, SP, FS, VC but  almost nothing from gala). 4 pages with 4Lz.

Photos from ACI2017 (14 pages)

 

Some photos (sorry for the quality, these are from my phone:

Hi, I am in love with Yuzu's Notte Stellata, so I wondered which magazine/photobook will be the best investment for swan pictures?

I have two magazines of Figure Skate Memorial (this which has pictures of Worlds and this about CoR) and both have around 20 pages of very nice, good quality Notte Stellata pictures. I can recommend those or other Figure Skate Memorial magazine from last season. I love this magazine because 110 out of 115 pages are only Yuzu pictures

The new AERA *_*

 

 

[SparkleSalad]

So sure am I of Yuzu's withdrawal from WC that I decided to let myself give in to my weakness and brace for the heartache by getting a few magazines. All magazines are 99% Yuzu. (Poor Shoma.)

 

I wouldn't recommend the special Pyeongchang AERA - it's mostly old photos, a recap of his whole career from tiny times (and has a huge CoC photo and NHK injury for anyone wanting to avoid that sort of thing.) It does have that blue flower double page where he's leaning against the mirror inside the back cover, though, for those who were so smitten with that shoot.  

 

Figure Skate Magazine has two double-sided posters and a lot of nice, clear, full-page photos. Clean layout with pages divided into maximum of 4 photos for the most part. Some very nice practice photos and, most importantly, THIS PHOTO: 

 

Memorial is about the same. Has a stunning sideways shot of the Chopin ina bauer and a sequence of joyous SEIMEI choreo sequence and other lovely but small SEIMEI photos. Not sure if I'll keep both, really. One or the other would be good if you have to choose between the two. They share a few of the same photos, anyway. 

 

 

 

ETA Of the four photos chosen for the posters in FS Magazine, only one is of him skating and it's the SEIMEI hydroblade, only they oriented it vertically so it cuts off his outstretched leg and arm. And yet the ultra close up of his face on the opposite side is horizontal.  Y u do dis?
