(google translated )


JAL will screen Lord Yuzu movie from Sept flights. Another fan reported the movie is shown on EVA Air.

Doesn't this costume looks familiar

Others before #1, #2, #3

The Phantom one is actually good! The golden finish looks even better than on Yuzu's original costume.

Which is funny to see because POTO has been on my mind today.

Guys, do you remember how Yuzu popped the second jump at WTT, which was otherwise a clean performance? Well, the biggest problem to me was that the jump didn't match the music highlight, other than than the performance would have been nearly perfect.

So... I edited it so that the jump does match the music highlight!

The only tiny flaw now is that the popped 3T is a bit too small a jump for such a big highlight.

Call me cheesy, but I do love Yuzuru's POTO.

How do you know?

Isn't is against the rule to have the same program for 3 seasons in a row or keep both programs from the last season？
But it's ok to keep a program and use a program from 2 seasons ago

:roll9: what are QUO cards?

(you can probably trade these like pokemon cards, can't you)

 

[gsyzf]

That's an interesting statement. Just curious, did he tell you that? Personally, I think he is a very positive person and does not face challenges in such negative way.

He said it in his book. (That's what other people said after reading his book.)

Meaning, Chinese people reading Japanese and interpreting what it means, then translating to English? I'd like to hear this directly from a native Japanese speaker like SuzyQ, Interspectator, mikaboo, others

Oh he was shooting a bedding CM? Probably a scene of him waking up with bed hair will be cute.

How many products that he is still endorsing actually?

- Lotte: Ghana Chocolate, Xylitol gum
- Phiten: socks, necklaces
- P&G: range of products Pantene etc.
- Bathclin: range of products #1, #2
- Nishikawa: beddings etc.

Not sure whether he still endorsing
- Ajinamoto: Amino Vital
- Nintendo: Monster Hunter 4G

Other than that he is currently ambassador for Red Cross and Sendai Tourism

ANA is his corporate sponsor (I'm not sure whether he is also ANA ambassador). I love ANA for this huge ads to thank Yuzu.

I'm not gonna get into the argument but to end at least one quarrel around here:
There was a translation posted on facebook. As I understand it, this is directly translated from the original Japanese.

That is still quite a lot considering his time to even film the CM for all that he still currently endorses is limited.
What about ANA? I thought he endorses ANA? or ANA is just a corporate sponsor? Thanks for the info, Alia!

P.S : Under armor should endorse yuzuru, just because

NEW costume, BTW!

 

[Pamigena]

I agree. But they probably figure he's already posing as their unofficial model anyway and just keep sending him new stuff to wear
(no I don't know if that's happening, before anybody gets any ideas, I'm just talking)

 

[SuzyQ]

:roll9: what are QUO cards?

It's a type of prepaid card. It seems to be 500 yen worth card. I'll get the application form tomorrow :hap85:

I know I would never use it even if I could won the prize

I forgot about ANA :hopelessness:. It looks like his corporate sponsor, he also appeared on their corporate videos (at bottom of the page). (will add this in my original post).

 

[giulia95]

Are you suggesting that Yuzuru has a less than stellar team backing him? Because that thought has crossed my mind multiple times.

IMO Borser 's conflict of interest was pretty evident in Boston, but it's not something new, the issue emerged in 2013 for the first time and was discussed in the forum.

What service is it used for? I only know about Prepaid cards for mobile phone services but I doubt Lotte has any association with it. Or maybe not? Or is it used as a certificate so you can buy some product and pay with this card and then add a sum if necessary? So these cards could be used as a gift certificate for friends and family? Then they should produce lots of those for season's sales. I'm sure huge part of them would never be used for actual shopping. I know that in South Korea there are Lotte megamarkets so it's not only about chocolate (I also saw them sponsor lots of films), is it the same in Japan?

Ah, thanks! It seems like he is not required to film a CM each year for each brand so at least it won't be too taxing for him. So we were supposed to get new CM for which brand this year?

NEW costume, BTW!

This looks like his old lotte costume last year, or the cards should come with Yuzu in new costume?

Prepaid cards seem to be called "Store-value card" too, which I didn't know.
"Closed system prepaid cards" may be the one.

https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/プリペイドカード

There are some types of prepaid cards in Japan, and small amount cards are often used as prize or gift. QUO card is mainly used at convenience stores, I think.

Telephone cards were used like that before, but now QUO card or other prepaid cards are used for sales promotion etc.

Same with Disney's Pooh...they should pay him for all the Pooh's sales

Nishikawa bedding which they pre-announced the cm. (too funny someone asked in FB group Where's Yuzu? Under the bed?)

I think Ghana too, last year it was Yuzu and Mao. Ghana just released an ads with Marin if any indication of how Yuzu's ads will be .

Yes, you're right. I don't know why I don't remember that costume at all. Or maybe I didn't see close up of it.

Oh yey, Marin! My favorite junior girl!
So is the bathclin CM not happening or...?

Yes, you're right. I don't know why I don't remember that costume at all. Or maybe I didn't see close up of it.

Perhaps because he only wear it during CM. I remembered because this costume is photoshopped into white and some were thinking that it was his new costume for this season
