phaeljones: so well written!! I agree with you too, that is exactly the reason why Yuzuru is such a lovable person.
as far as costume, I don't mind, I think it is unique, and stands out instantly, every one will know that is Yuzuru once he is out there!
I don't really care about men's costume anyway. But one problem with his last year's costume is the white color of his sleeves, too close and bland into the color of ice, somehow diminished his ice presence visually. They tried to fixed it by dye the gloves a bit in the later half of last season, this year, the gloves are black, so it is nice. A white costume is great for EX though.
Also, a one piece costume may not help to improve Yuzuru's posture visually. Yuzuru's upper body is too skinny compare to other men, and a bit hunched. last year's costume's upper body part is really tight, did not disguise this problem at all, The old R&J costume is the best, this year they added some chiffons in the chest area. I think it is better visually.
