Yuzuru Hanyu: 2014-15 Season
- Thread starter GS Forum Staff
- Start date
In Japan, it is customary for girls to give chocolate to the boys, whereas in the US, boys give chocolates/flowers/teddy bears to the girls.
also it doesn't have to have romantic implications... often girls give chocolate to male friends or family... Boys then have to reciprocate the gifts received on white day that's somewhere around march IIRC

There are two types: friendship chocolate and love chocolate. For the first type, boys are obliged to reciprocate the gifts received.

Can people give friendship chocolate to friends of the same gender as well?

Ah, yes. Mostly in America it is love based, but the gifts are usually interchangeable between friends and or lovers. I did not mean to imply that Japanese is only female-->male.

Yes, and it's called "tomo-choko” (tomo means friend).

From I understand, girls are often the gift-giver on Feb 14. As for receivers, I guess both sex are OK?

Whew, I went to sleep and woke up to a full blown conspiracy theory, and now to the more pleasant discussion of Tomochoco. Let's not make mountains out of mole-hills. All our agonizing will not change what Hanyu and his team ultimately do. I'd rather talk about his red sweater.
I think someone should tell him turtlenecks are for people who are trying to look thin, not for those already thin. It makes him look too wispy.

I totally agree with you!! He looks too skinny with his red turtleneck, I think I also saw him with black turtleneck before. He's skinny enough already so maybe he really shouldn't wear turtlenecks to make his fans heart ache....
This is the black turtleneck(?) I talked abt ,I guess it's not a pure turtleneck since there's a shirt outside...

Painfully thin is what comes to my mind...

I think he has lost a lot of muscles. Rebuilding his strength and stamina back to the pre-surgery would be very very tiring.

How can we always turn a simple subject into a negative thing?

Yes, let’s wait & see…as much as I wish his health intensely like always, I don’t think the injury is that serious and whether it’s serious at this point, there is still the time that he is recovering/training and he will definitely go to the worlds as long as he can skate/stand on ice
Although I won’t mind even if he will not be able to get medals or miss the worlds as for the worst. as I still think he needs to take a long rest and has already proven to us what he deserve the titles through this season. yes I may be a bad fan.

I guess that sweater was given to him by Ghana to fit the Valentine theme? I have the feeling he didn't choose it by himself. Some people think looks thin and tired in the video (I have read those comments outside of this forum as well), as for me I think he lost training muscles. So all the need is to rebuilt them again. Maybe that's why Brian needs him to fly to Canada asap. He doesn't need to train just on ice, but off ice as well. But still the schedule is kinda tight IMO. Note that I am not saying he couldn't make it. Just say it will be tough.But very few people can look good in skin-tight training gear so I guess he knows that and is so kind to delight his fans often.
