Does someone here bought Yuzu calendar before? I wonder how big it is. Is this a wall calendar or the desk one? I would be very thankful for some info

I have the 2017/18 season wall calendar and it's beautiful  It's really big, 36x49 cm. 

 

There are two types of calendars for the 2018/19 season as well: the wall calendar is this one (amazon link):

 

 

 

and the desk calendar is this (amazon link):

 

 

There are also 2019 year calendars, desktop and wall versions:

 

  

 

The season calendars will be published on 14th September, the year calendars on 15th Sept. Season calendars are from October 2018 to September 2019.

It is. 

I think I'm going to buy the season wall calendar again, it has big pictures in it and it'll look great on my wall

Never bought a season calendar cuz there always were at least a couple of not best photos (or jump/spin faces) but the new one seems really nice

I saw a whole bookshelf of figure skating books and magazines at Maruzen. About half was yuzu stuff. So tempted to buy everything. But it will be heavy.

I love Book Off stores! I found a bunch of Yuzuru magazines. 

Spoiler

Was about 30 pages of Yuzu, and has interviews on choreographers which is cool.

Was pretty much all Yuzu pics from Skate Canada 2015.

I just love this cover so much. About half the magazine was Yuzu.

All gorgeous, but that last one....

Gah I missed out on this one! Amazon Japan no longer has it 

It's so pretttyyyy

[sallycinnamon]

I got some magazines as presents and they're all very good. 

 

1. I can highly recomment the Shinshokan photobook which has 128 pages filled with beautiful, high quality pictures of Yuzu from season 2004/05 to 2017/2018. It also lists all results and programs of Yuzu from 2004/05.

 

 

 

2. This magazine covers ACI and there are also some pictures from the Olympic Games. 90-95% of the content is Yuzu

 

 

3. This magazine also covers ACI and there are many great pictures in it  The quality of the pictures are really good. 90% of the magazine is Yuzu content.

Iirc it was one of those magazines which are not available anymore for some reason (copyright/or some other reasons because of the content. Maybe the 2nd magazine too because I can't find it on amazon either).

It's a pity because it's a very good one...

Those are being sold for more than the original price by non-Amazon JP sellers, so to get those I'd have to use a proxy which would again cost more than buying a new one from Amazon JP itself.

That's true, they're more expensive

Sometimes there are people who sell Figure Skaters magazine on yahoo auctions, too. Maybe you can get it one day if you're lucky..
