The word used here was 泣き虫 "nakimushi". It means crybaby. If you break down the word into "naki" and "mushi," it literally means cry-bug (insect).
I just looked up why "insect" is used here and according to Yahoo Answers, it was believed long time ago that emotions and thoughts were triggered by an insect that lived in your mind. Another common word using "mushi" is "yowamushi" (weakling). There are other ways to describe someone who cries a lot, but "nakimushi" is probably the most suitable here. If it were someone more older or respected (not saying Yuzuru or Oda aren't, but they are younger than the woman) "namida moroi" (tears fragile) might be used.I hope this satisfies your curiosity.:biggrin: I'm learning something new here too!
Thanks a lot for the elaborate explanation! :)

Thanks all for the clips of Yuzuru's new long program. It's exciting to see him develop (sometimes it's hard to remember he's only 19) - he really does like to push the edge and challenge himself. All those quads were making me a bit nervous about his knees/potential injury.

What a media circus! It was kind of sweet that Yuzu admitted to Brian during warm-up that he was nervous and Brian told him "Be yourself". Brian does understand that pressure and scrutiny.

That was so sweet! Brian really does care about Yuzuru and reads into his mood easily giving him so much support- I love that! :love:

I wonder did Mr. Pooh went on vacation already? I haven't seen him around in any of those news clips.:think:

Mr. Pooh rarely shows up at practice in Canada as I remember. :laugh: He always shows up at competition, except at Sochi because of the trademark rule.

I'm still confused as to why Mr. Mouse was allowed to make an appearance but Mr. Pooh wasn't. IIRC I've seen Mr. Mouse at least in some practice video :think: but I might just be seeing things that aren't there, that's also possible (my best guess was that one of the human Misters stuck to the rules and left Mr. Pooh at his room, and that other biped thought "What they gonna do? Kick me out?")

I honestly had no idea Yuzu used to cry a lot- what? I'd say he's emotional but a crybaby?
I have only seen one vid that one mentioned in here a lot over the last 10 pages when he placed 7th after the bad performance in SP. Then reading his interview when he mentioned he'd cry when losing. Then when he let everyone at Sendai rink know he was leaving to Canada. Then when he was talking about earthquake. Honestly I d' cry in each of these situations myself. Am I a crybaby (thinking to myself)- no, rather emotional. Just my thought.
And I really like that in him. That he is being this open and vulnerable. And still being an enigma.

I kinda remember that Yuzu admitted that he is a "nakimushi" (his own words) during an interview with Shizuka Arakawa.

Well, because Mr. Mouse doesn't have any trademark on his butt like Mr. Pooh. You don't notice that Mr. Pooh has something like a trademark pad in his butt, do you?:biggrin:

Look at his butt: http://media.tumblr.com/dc1989fb41a08b82f640d0e5c31c336e/tumblr_inline_n0p5fdhWpA1rf5vld.png

Oh, you mean that one. I see. I apologize for not realizing the butt issue. I will adjust my butt-dar and swear to pay more buttention to detail from now on :bow: my butt. Ahem, I mean, my bad, sorry. I buttolgize again.
(I think it might be time for me to go to bed, my brain's getting a bit loopy)

I'm sure you are all aware of butt pads and how figure skaters use them to pad their butts during practices. Maybe they can trademark some " Yuzuru the Pooh " butt pads and sell them to skaters. Have I inhaled some fairy dust or something to be thinking about such things?

possibly, my product usually comes with a health warning due to risk of infection :laugh:
but(t) I think your idea is extremely awesome. Just make sure to keep me away from the design, because I'd probably put shiny sparkling bling everywhere and that would totally defeat the purpose.

Look, Orser also has a pair of gloves that Yuzuru often uses: http://horiyan.tumblr.com/image/94152600361

He is wearing it reversely, though.

Nikkan Sports Article:

Translation of the second and third parapraphs.

Included 4S and 4T in the first half as the last season, he will include two 3A jumps and a combination of 4T in the latter half where the score is 1.1 times. He himself decided this layout that requires stamina close to capacity. He explained the reason as "I felt a good response in toe loop jumps." Brian Orser, his coach, says "A big challenge, but it is very Yuzuru who keeps aggressiveness even after becoming OGM", giving him a supportive push.

He is going to seal off 4L for this season, although he might become the first one to succeed in an international competition. On that day, he tried 4L for the first time in 3 weeks and confirmed the feeling, but he says "4L jump is something like a reward for me. I'm not particularly sticking to it."


The kind uploader in Dailymotion edited the several news clips of Yuzu's Phantom into a new video accompanied by music. Thus we may preview his program more smooth. Thank @yusu01207 and enjoy everyone!

According to Adelina Sonitkova, Yuzuru is a crybaby (not that we haven't known that). So funny:

Who is Mr. Pooh?

Aside from quads, Yuzuru is obsessive with Pooh. He has a room full of Poohs. He loves Pooh so much he brings Pooh to every one of his competitions. His coaches (Nanami Abe, then Orser) have to carry Pooh for him whenever he is on the ice. He asked for Pooh when Orser left Pooh away from his eyes.

Here is Orser and Pooh waiting for Yuzuru to finish his skate: http://media.tumblr.com/e28d932af15d286c95351d4a490d7735/tumblr_inline_n0p58ptP1o1rf5vld.jpg
