Subarashi!! Thanks for the video

He planned so hard transitions to quads for this season in both programs ... The one in short is actually straight from steps :shocked:

You're right. I'm going to see him live in SC and I'm so nervous about those quads even now.

Is it crazy that I tried to reach forward towards the screen when I saw Yuzuru?

No problem, we are already crazy about him. My heart almost stopped with the height and length of his triple axel.

there are around 4000 folks crazy enough to watch him through live stream of just a practice... No worries. Ha ha

It was so beautiful...the part with the taiko from 1:25 in the youtube video is just stunning
This program is just mesmerizing. <3 It's calm but in the same time powerful.
I can't wait the SP tomorrow (in the middle of the night for me^^" )

He did a nice 4t-3t during the practice too. I caught a few minutes of it while I should be studying but in reality I really should be working lol......

I'll re-watch when I have time but from what I remember the stsq is just gorgeous.

 

[HanDomi]

I think he may be doing 4T3T in the short, because this lutz is still worrying I guess

 

[Pamigena]

This was actually my first time ever seeing this program. I'm completely in love.

told you so

I can't wait the SP tomorrow (in the middle of the night for me^^" )

same here 2 a.m. sounds like a lovely time, doesn't it

Yeah it might work out better for him as his 4t combos are looking better than his 3lz combos. I think he fell in the first 3Lz3t he did and even his solo lutz in the run through was leaning.

But his 4T is late into the SP and we saw from the practice videos the really difficult entrance he has for it, aside from the fact that it wouldn't match the music as well as it does later exactly where he does the combo. Do you think he might still go for a 4T3T?
He looked very solid in practice today, beautiful 4T2T and of course, his 3A combos. Yeah, the 3Lz was not his best but still landed it. I can't wait to see him tomorrow, even though it will probably have to be on YT because of my doctor's appointment. But I'll definitely watch the FS live on Thursday. Go Yuzu!

Hard entrance doesn't matter as long as landing is good, he can just go as always for 4T and if landing is strong he can just throw 3T there

What I meant is that the hard entrance makes a good landing more difficult. In the videos of TCC in the summer, he hung on to the 4T in the SP run through but it wasn't perfect, guess it's a matter of seeing how comfortable he is with it now.

 

[Rissa]

I've just watched the practice video and omg that step sequence is just I wish it were twice as long, I could watch Yuzuru step-glide backwards like that forever. Wow, awesome, I can't wait to see it with the costume.

One minor criticism: the music transition between the "frosty" step sequence and the "tingly" slow part seems jarring to me, but it may because I really don't want the step sequence to end just yet.

 

[xibsuarz]

Nam just tweeted he's skating right after Yuzu tomorrow, guess it will be just him and Pooh at K&C again

 

[firal]

OMG I am in love with the music and the program! I don't think it'll be boring at all like some have worried, and I really think it has the potential to be his hallmark program! So excited! I don't have time to rewatch now but I think his axis in the air in the jumps were quite slanted today, no? Hopefully it's nothing. I think he'll do SP run through in the practice tomorrow. I almost forgot we get to see the big reveal for the SP costume tomorrow! Yeah!
