Visiting from the Shoma thread per Maria's request
Yuzuru's Vertigo was fantastic and he was indeed a "rock star" as he's often described by commentators. He really has a strong presence on the ice. I think his booty swinging motion has gotten much better compared to 5? years ago and his hydroblade was
The collaboration with the singer was kind of boring for me, not much different to the last 3 collaboration programs and the orange/yellow citrus candy looking top didn't suit him but the blue top at the finale was nice. Blue really suits him well.
He didn't fall on any of the jumps during the 2 programs and I don't think he popped anything either.
Him and Plushy (and surprisingly Shoma) were 3 that stood out for me at the opening, but that might be based on my personal biases and the lighting.
During and after the finale, Yuzuru tried the 4lo 4 times but failed all of them - 1fall, 3 pops(?), he did a dogeza, but it was a humorous gesture, nothing serious.
I'll add more if I remember anything else. Sorry about my short memory I'll just say that he looked really energetic and "genki" and was having lots of fun.
Thanks so much mikaboo for generously sharing your experience with us. And please do post often here as you are one of us.
And so you won't think we nonJapanese speaking fans are a feckless lot , I researched on what "genki" means: enthusiastic, lively, which all describe Yuzuru well.
