Yuzuru Hanyu: 2014-15 Season

[Plumededragon]

Well Brian has said that Yuzuru is quite superstitious, so who knows. I just hope his determination will help him overcome any uneasiness he may have.

That can actually be a good challenge for him to litteraly face this place. He may see it as one to overcome once and for all.
I don't think he'd have confirmed his participation to the WC if he didn't think he could do it.

In anticipation of Worlds...i put together my predictions for the top ten at Worlds. Next year if Kozuka retires, my dream podium will be a Cricket Brothers podium (Yuzu, Javi, Nam in that order) but for now, I will go with this.

Oh God, I spent a long time backtracking this thread and still couldn't catch everything

Anyway, speaking of posters, how about this one, I belive it's in Monaco.

ohh thats a good point and bring some insight to the height argument

You know over christmas our local store had a competition to guess the weight of a cake, and whoever was closest got to take the cake home. My point is: if we guess his hieght correctly, do we get to take a yuzu home?

My entry:I think he is slightly taller than javi(idk it look that way to me in pics). The problem is boots and shoes and different heel+blade hieghts.

I loved Kuro@Kurokuroiii tweets "In term of willpower and strength, he is much taller than this" (referring to the giant poster).

He started this season with CoC at this arena and will end it with Worlds at the same arena. Be safe, be healthy, be happy Yuzuru , we support you all the way

that's the attitude

If we look at the photo taken at Saitama in the small medal ceremony, I'd say Yuzuru is taller than Javi. And they were all wearing sport shoes at that time, not skate and no blade.

So there's an official event with the entire Japanese team going to Worlds 2015 on March 19th, right? (Kindly ask Japanese forum mates to confirm this.) We'll get to see and hear some news from Yuzuru! Can't wait.

Really? That sounds great! But is it the entire team attending a press con or boarding on the same flight to Shanghai?

"If I get your measurements right, can I keep you?" I'll have to try that pick-up line sometime

 

[ahkeekee]

Actually I'm starting to wonder if yuzuru knows his own height. People tend to lose track of their own heights when they stopped keeping track of it constantly (like how I don't really know my actual height )

it was in Munich close enough, though

That building sized poster of Yuzuru is all sorts of amazing . I wonder how Yuzu would react to that lol. News clip of it

Take Yuzu home....gulp!

Brilliant pick-up line Pamina , totally should try that.

It's in French. My French isn't as it used to be, so I only caught about 80 %, but yes, it's a very flattering piece of commentary. The word "suspense" (with French pronounciation) is actually used, so I'd say the translation is correct. ;-)

Thank you :yay:

When we hear サスペンス (sasupensu) in Japanese (apparently derived from English), we usually think of suspense novels, dramas or movies. So, it sounded to me a bit weird.

I guess they used this word meaning thrilling performance or something, right?

Yes, thrilling. His skater life has been, especially this season, quite suspense in both good and bad meanings. I really hope he will finish this season without any more trouble

That's amazing drawing indeed! And chibi yuzuru look super cute here! Like he himself said, there's so many walls for him to climb over and once he's overcome those walls, he'd become stronger, go yuzuru!

I guess it has to be a press con. I have no idea if they go with the same plane every time.

 

[Terrapin]

Actually I understand it in the sense that you couldn't guess what would happen next (like he totally blew their minds by being so good right from the start, but then suddenly fell on the step, only to nail an impressive 3A-3T just after the fall...). It was completely thrilling in this way, because it was full of unexpected stuff.

I was replying to you of course ^^

Nishikawa (the mattress manufacturer of Yuzu's latest endorsement) new line of bolsters? Creative ideas from Yuzu's fans....maybe it will help to cure IYHS :think:
