Yuzuru Hanyu: 2014-15 Season

[angelfacehanyu]

Yuzuru is probably the thinnest figure skater ever... i'm glad its just his genes, not some eating disorder. It's a plus for anyone as it allows him to jump so so high!!

 

[Sorrento]

First of all, I put up the DM links here in good faith that you'll abide by the request I've made. Sadly, somebody posted the links to tumblr.

Sorry to hear that. In another community we had to put requests in bold in two languages for members not to share links elsewhere each time we wanted to keep something for community members only.

I'm off for a little vacation/team building so I'll just give you guys a warning that there are changes in my way of sharing the ripped files.

First of all, I put up the DM links here in good faith that you'll abide by the request I've made. Sadly, somebody posted the links to tumblr. I did not post it on tumblr because
a. i don't want attention
b. copyright issues

I'm pretty much sure that the links can't be searched directly in English or Japanese (kanji/romanji/katakana) that is why the title was vague. I tried searching using both before I put up the links. I don't know how the poster find out? I could venture a guess and it's not pretty. BUT don't worry I will still share, being in the Johnny's fandom for so long, I could attest how hard it is to get your hands on goods when shipping costs much more than the item sometimes. I will share because it my J&A communities, we share to encourage people to buy so as to support the artists.

In view of this, I'm going to put it up on a file sharing site (rather my sister will upload it while I'm away). I'm not going to make you jump through so many hoops though, but I WILL make you jump. The Scorpio in me would like to make it a little harder for you by putting it up in clubbox, a Korean site. BUT since that is to much bothersome, I'm going to put it up to a more accessible site. The thing is there will be a password and there's a limit to the number of persons I will share it with daily. I'm going to post when the links are up and then we'll try it my way.

Hello ayarose, I'm actually the person that shared the videos on tumblr and specifically registered to tell you something.

First of all you might not have read it but I wrote an apology on tumblr for sharing the videos a few days ago. As soon as I read your message here that you don’t want it to be shared on any sns I deleted it immediately.
I fully admit of being at fault here. Not that it justifies my action but I don't share private videos or if the uploader states not wanting it to be shared like you did (only that it wasn't stated directely on your video and I only saw your message in this forum after I've already put them up on tumblr).

I don’t want you to think badly of me and I’m not sure what exactly you meant with a “not pretty guess”. I did NOT steal the link from any side (my guess would be you think I posted the videos after you shared them on here - which is not the case!!). I really found it on dailymotion with the search word “羽生" (I only searched for his name) and only afterwards I saw your post in here. Please believe me. I don’t know why it showed up on dailymotion and I promise I’ll not repeat the same mistake again.

I just wanted to clarify this. So in short I just wanted to apologize to you again. I'm sorry for giving you this unwanted attention and I hope you'll forgive my stupid mistake.

60 degrees !

What a balance !

I could do nothing but just laugh

Thank you Yuzuyuzu.

I don't think ripping off his DVD and sharing with people is a good idea, even if you limite the access...
It means you just steal his plofit and I hope Yuzuru's fans respect his right.

Yuzu's DVD was ranked 10th place in second sale week (7/21- 7/27), blu-ray version dropped out of the top ten.

Mao and Dai have release their DVD in 2014, earlier than Yuzu. The sale numbers of three skaters in first week are as following:

* Dai D1SK (2014 January release): 7582 copies
* Mao Smile (2014 April release): 6844 copies
* Yuzu Time of Awakening (2014 July release): 21,000 copies (plus blu-ray 23,000 copies)

ps. Mao & Dai haven't released blu-ray version.

Somehow I think these top skaters have greatly promoted figure skating to more people in Japan and worldwide. It's not just sale numbers but a momentum to this sport.

Thank you. I used to be an American Idol fan so I always curios about sales. From the link you provide it seems like Yuzuru´s dvd is the only one beside When The Wind Rise that has been in the top ten for a second week.

If you are worried about copyright issues, this is exactly an illegal uploading, Ayarose.
You also invite people to illegal downloading. I hope people enjoy Yuzuru's first dvd with proper payment. Thank you.

yuzu's message of support http://nettv.gov-online.go.jp/prg/prg10223.html?nt=1

many thanks for the link, Annca !!

I 've just realized the message is from the Japanese Goverment Internet TV - Introducing Prime Minister's activities and important policies through video
English: http://nettv.gov-online.go.jp/eng/index.html?nt=1https://www.google.it/?gws_rd=ssl

it's umbelievable how much power and responsability Yuzuru actually has.

I´m thankful to Ayarose, I live outside Japan, literally on the other half od the world and there is no way I could buy the DVD, or buy it with it ending costing more than US$100 by the time it arrives to my country.

Most people in here is trully a fan, and if they can buy the dvd they will do so. No matter if they have already see the videos.

I share your feelings, it's not easy to live so far away

Same here.. I calculate the price yesterday and for me the total is over a $130 it is honestly not an amount I can afford right now. But based on the videos she's uploaded it's solidified my decision to save up for it. It's hard to live very far away because the merchandise you want often costs exorbitant with shipping etc... I understand the copyright issues and I respect yuzuru and I really would buy the DVD NOW, if I could afford it tbh. And I really want buy it now more and more because I want a copy of it for myself. I'm going to start saving up

If you consider yourself as a trully fan, please respect his copyright and don't violate it.
It's not a matter of whether you can afford it or not, actually I don't have this dvd either, but I don't want to watch them by pirating it.
Japanese copyright is really strict and Japanese FS fans really hate pirates. I don't want them to think "Yuzuru's foreign fans are so rude and can't follow the rules".
And more importantly, I think Yuzuru would feel sad if he knew about this.

Hi, I have just seen this picture in Yuzuru group on fb. Is the thing he was carrying an inhaler? https://m.facebook.com/groups/363481468489?view=permalink&id=10152559383823490

well, in that case i can argue that any video we watch online of yuzuru's like his documentaries, news clips, toyama/ other competition videos. Technically they are also pirated and put online. But you watch them don't you?

But i understand the copyright issues surrounding the DVD but just saying theoretically speaking, we shouldn't be watching ANY of the videos online since all of them are put online against copyright issues. Program videos, competition videos, videos from the iceshows, translation videos about documentaries, documentaries.

Agree. It's not like we don't want to buy that DVD. And it's not like we don't care about the copyrights. The thing is, there are some fans living in the place that couldn't get the access to most stuff in Japan. Further more, it's not the money that is the only problem. My friends, who is living in a remote country, is very eager to buy that DVD, but they will not deliver it to her, due to the geography distance, as well as the crazy system in her country. It's not easy to get things to her country, as some stuffs from foreign country get banned. Even if she ordered the DVD from amazon, there would be a high probability that it would be confiscated. The reason is not always the money, sometime even money couldn't help.

But this is his DVD, not the footage airs for free. The profits will directry be his income.

Can't see it unless create an account and I don't want to.

in this video you can see it more clearly at around 1:20 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QJ4UoixGJc

 

[skatefan22]

Well, not a fan of Han Yan, I posted that just thought that some might be interested in Yuzu's potential competitor's new program layout, such as jumps and steps.
Since it is indeed off-topic, I have deleted that link.

footage doesn't air for FREE. The news channel that puts those clips in had to pay for them too. To watch the channels on TV, you have to pay for the channels. SO footage doesn't air for FREE.

And I'd like to also say that the DVD itself costs around $50- I assume that probably 10% of that goes to yuzuru.. thats okay, $50 is something I can pay and I'd happily do so since I can happily be sure that a part of that will go to Yuzuru.

But when you live as far away as me, the DVD ends up costing $130 the $130-$50= difference= $80 <- that amount doesn't go to yuzuru. It goes to the shipping companies. and $130 with college tuition/books to pay for + a $7.50 hourly wage just won't work for me yet especially when $80 of the price tag doesn't go to the person i want to support.
