Yuzuru Hanyu: 2016-17 Season

[narcissa]

Since we caught wind of his departure from Sendai at 3528 (15 posts/page)... it's been 9 days and we're um at 3652...

124 pages... a little less than half the original estimate in "it's not fs season without 200 more pages to yuzuru's fan thread"
:shocked:

You know, I misread that as 3628 to 3652 and was like "Wow that's a lot."



Gurl, if we added 200 pages per season, we wouldn't be at 3600+ pages

why it would mean Yuzu has been around for 18 years. LOL

which is ironically the number of years he's been skating...

200 pages for every year he's been skating

Me too. I typed this out, and then just had to go back and check again, I thought I mistyped!

where would we be at 200 page a season rate? can anyone do the maths?

Awesome fancam because it has the elements and the respective detailed scoring for them appearing at the screen.

i don't know if someone (or myself) already posted though. i'm getting lost in these fancams, i'm in paradise.

7 (senior) seasons right? 2010/11 to 2016/17. So 1400. Or 1800 for 9 if it's plus 2 in Juniors.

The thread itself started September 2011. And dredged up from ages, ages ago, one of the very early posts (second page XD) It's interesting and baldness-causing how a lot of those things are still true. And talk about performing to the audience this year with LGC

I think he has the potential making of the perfect skater, balance of the Yin and Yang, the amalgamation of opposites spectrum of men's figure skating: Johnny (artistry, sensitivity, smoothness and finesse) and Plushy (Unapologetic technical overlord!) May be being young and somewhat of an innocent, this type of boyish charming androgynous type of skating is very attractive to me (I am not sure if that makes sense) but he remind me a character straight out of the Japanese Manga F4 boys from Hana Yori Dango, except he is the sweet one all the girls can relate to and have a crush on (Especially with his Winnie the Pooh bear lucky charm ... lol!). I wouldn't be surprised if he start to become a pin up back in Japan by next year (if he isn't already)

I do think he offers something new, unique and quite refreshing among the current men's.

Maybe something to do with age and personality perhaps? Hanyu is one of the more emotional available mens skater right now (I hope that won't change when he gets older), there's compassion and venerability that shows up on his Romeo and Juliet programs which I love. He clearly feels the music, the mood changes and he is clear in what he is trying to express in tuned with the many variations of music beyond merely executing the required elements. Overall, very good intrinsic understanding of musicality, movement and performing to the audience (although the latter could be improved upon further with greater maturity).

The thing I appreciate the most is Hanyu hardly ever dumb down his program in an almost naive and optimistic way. Given the type of crazy difficult content he has, his personal situations (asthma and stamina issues) he appears to be refreshingly uncalculated and his natural demeanour is going for broke 100% of the time. And if he is on fire, you might get 110% performance out of him as if is the last performance he will ever give.

He rarely ever hesitate before his big elements, and I am always surprised to see how a major fall would really appear to shook him up as if he couldn't believe it (and refuse to believe it), only to find him coming back with an even bigger jump to prove and reassures himself. May be there's some Samurai spirit in this young one!

Amazing talent aside, it makes him an exciting and somewhat unpredictable skater to root for because the chances are, with these amount of crazy difficulties he want to include his programs at his age (with all his asthma and stamina issues) the chances of him going clean is slim, yet you know he is always going for his very best instead of following some sort of calculated risks like the older skaters tends to do. (Especially amongst the ladies field right now)

So we'd be around meagre 1200 then. Or even less.
OK, with that I bow out and hope not to find another 124 new pages before I wake in four hours!

:shocked:Almost 350 pages in a month? That's the cue to some YOLO news

Hi everyone! I am a new fan! A friend (you know who you are ) introduced me to Yuzuru about a month ago. Basically, during a short visit to her place she showed me a bunch of his performances and interviews and got me hooked (initially on Seimei and RJ1) and since then as I watched more and more my love and support for this amazing young man has only grown.

Been lurking on this thread for a few weeks, I really love reading everyone's discussions and it helped me to understand figure skating as a sport much better. Also, everyone's passion is really exhilarating! Not to mention all these interviews/clips etc are doing wonders for my own Japanese lol. I hope I can contribute to the thread growing mania too from now on hahahahahaaa.

Yep. Still, I'm sensitive to terrible fashion choices. I'm able to overcome it only if it envolves rhinestones.



I also prefer longer hair.

i'm probably the only one but I liked all of his costumes even the johnny weirs ones..
