Yuzuru Hanyu: 2013-14 Season

[cruzceleste]

Now that I see both image I think is photoshoped

 

[Maria Victoria]

^Oh! Who would do that?

PS. The picture of Tatsuki reading Akiko's book comes from Akiko's English blog translations of her Japanese blog (http://ameblo.jp/suzuki-akko/page-7.html#main) so that I think is genuine.

if you guys haven't already/wanted to see Alena land a kiss on Yuzu's cheek. His reaction is too cute.

The kid needs a fund-raiser of his own :sarcasm:
if we all donate a few bucks maybe we can buy him a whole day off and a full night's sleep
(I'd consider it a worthy cause)

Yeah, with his busy schedule and his personality, it really is hard to say 'no' to some events/appearances. It reflects the nature of some people in daily life too because it's indeed hard to deny some requests for a celebration/get-together/etc when your schedule is completely full (that includes sleep). I just hope he somehow gets the rest he needs as a growing 19 year old; sometimes we forget he's not even 20 years old yet, meaning he's still in his teens and sleep is essential.

Any news on when he's returning to Toronto?

Yuzuru is in PIW show in May 10, 11. I guess he will be in Japan till mid May.

This is way too cute! And lucky Alena!!

I especially like this one

This is my favorite dress ever used in skating...so simple and beautiful

Question: Do pictures like this belong in the other thread?

^Thanks mikaboo! Nice shot to greet me after an exam, although I must confess I'd rather have Kanako and Alex exchange places .

After so many ice shows, I haven't yet seen any pictures of the two childhood friends together except in a group shot!

Re your query, can we have guidelines from yuzusan please?

 

[Pamigena]

As I understand it you can (should) post all media links in the other thread (especially recent ones) so that people who don't have the time to wade through our super interesting but endless discussions can at least find the links easily
But you can also post them here in the regular thread because the other thread is really just for collecting links and this here is the place where we can talk about it.

I hope your exam went well, Maria Victoria ^^

 

[Maria Victoria]

^ Noted, thanks Pamina and also for the good wishes in the exam. I think I did not disgrace myself at least .

【music time】White Legend original with violinist Ikuko Kawai

Yuzu’s “White Legend” program uses the music piece played by Japanese violinist Ikuko Kawai. Here is a clip from Kawai’s TV program and Yuzu is showed with his EX in Sochi Olympics.

【video 】Tracy Wilson congratulated Yuzu at Worlds 2014

Here is a very short clip that Tracy Wilson congratulated Yuzu in backstage at Worlds 2014. It happened after Kozuka waiting his scores announcement at K&C.

How joyful they are!

Video from: 6:25

^^Love the links echotpe! Ahh life is good! Finishing an exam and now going over the "treasures" in this thread.

Re Tracy Wilson, she can justly be proud and happy for she was the one who has spent hours with Yuzuru working on his skating skills (the 'foundation") as Brian Orser himself acknowledges. As she's also listed as Yuzuru's coach, I wonder why she didn't sub for Brian Orser during the K & C as David Wilson did during the 2013 Finlandia (and David Wilson was "only" the choreographer). I also thought she would do commentary for CBC at Worlds as she did last year was but only heard Kurt, Carol Lane, and Brenda Irving I think. Anyway, it may be for the best as she does coach three of the competitors and we would have missed that Pooh moment at Yuzuru's K & C .

 

[Pamigena]

Maria Victoria: haha, that's the least we can always hope for walking out with our head still held high

thanks for the links echotpe.
(but I think there's a typo, her name is Ikuko Kawai?)
I really do like the White Legend piece.
I love Tchaikovsky and this interpretation I think is really touching.

@Maria Victoria/@~Pamina~
Thanks! I felt kind of silly posting 1 picture on both threads, but I will do so from now on.
(Someone has already posted Alex's instagram on the other thread )

@echotpe
Thanks for sharing the video. I don't usually like Ikuko Kawai for some reason, but I really like Yuzuru's White Legend. It might be my favorite EX from him.

I heard Yuzu will take athlete check in the next few days at tokyo olympic center. I'm not sure about the resource......Seems like it a little tedious, would check many items.

Do you have other precisions about this info and the source ? I don't see a website giving wrong news ?
