Yuzu seems to be a very modest and respectful kid. No doubt it's also because of the influence of his parents.
Do you have a link of a video where I can see her? I'm curious xD
Still this is on the Internet
You can see Yuzuru's Mom making his costume designed by Johnny Weir.

When I see how he looks back in those days I just can´t help to think "someone please feed this child a hamburger and fries":Still this is on the Internet

After re-watching this kid's FS this season (and even Sochi) and his former R&J, I have come to several thoughts:
- The program's content is TOO OLD for this kid. He hasn't reached the age that allow him to fully understand the feelings they expect him to express. Technically he can nail in in practice, but artistry, he hasn't grown up enough for that.:think:
- The costume, very distracting, I mean, he is already pencil thin, with the current costume he looks like half of a pencil. When I watch him in practice with the jacket and t-shirt, it was much more relaxing and please to watch, so I come to conclusion that the costume does matter. It's not like I am trying to shame his choice of costume or Weir's design. Of course I have to count that he was not as tensed when performing, but, yup, I hope he will chose something that makes he look more healthy next season (like his SP's costume).
- He hasn't gotten used to this program, :scowlr the last season program either. I have to say David Wilson's programs do not look much so lifeless as some people've said. Well, after re-watching it several times and comparing it to other's male skaters' programs. Without the fall on his 4S, his FS at GPF was much better than many (both technically and artistry). So I think it's something Yuzuru have to do with his self-confidence, he has to believe that he could be perfectly clean.
- In Sochi, I have a feeling that in the half final of his free skate, he was able to sell his program to some extent and the NBC commentators also felt it), its' like he only started to understand just a glimpse of what he should feel about his own program and to make people around also feel it.
=>>> This program has the potential to become much better, and the kid is still growing into it. I hope he would prove it in Worlds at the end of this month.
Needless to say, I hope his next SP and FS will be something that really suit his age mentally, not something so old to his age like the current one. David Wilson certainly didn't try to put himself in a teenager's mood when he create the program. He is not a bad choreographer, he was just trying to sell a program that add more and more points at the competition. His program itself is not bad, it suits Yuzuru to some extent, but I suppose Yuzuru need a program that express more energy and innocence of his age. In short, he needs a program that show his lively side.
He is mature compare to teenager his age, but we all know young people tend to head for what they haven't experienced long enough to truly grasp the feelings. I don't say he is childish, of course, I just think it would be suitable for him to portray drama that fits his mental age.I don´t think it has something to do with his "mental age", the content and complexity of the program were made to compete with Chan (and the Chanflantation), beside it was Yuzuru who chose the content of the program.
I like his programs full of energy, but I also like the drama and feeling that he ads to mature programs like Rome & Juliet from this year....
Hi all!
Looking back at some pages it seems like everyone does a quick intro so I'll follow suit. The only figure skaters I could remember distinctly when I was little was Michelle Kwan. Also am a huge fan of Yuna Kim and Mao Asada around 2010. I discovered Yuzuru about 2 months before the Olympics when I came across a Tumblr post of his beautiful outfit for his Etude short program. Watched a couple of skates and he was my immediate favorite to win the gold. Now I have a renewed passion for being a good fan to figure skating and have been watching tons of videos (not only of Yuzu but other great skaters) and have decided to take up ice skating as a good way to do cardio! I've been lurking on this thread for quite some time and was originally following some Yuzuru-dedicated Tumblrs that reblog nice pictures and whatnot but decided to sign up since I wanted a more robust discussion about Yuzuru's figure skating and how far he's come. Looking forward to go on this journey with him for the next 4 years and beyond!

It will be interesting to see what they do for the 2014-2015 season. Whit the chance of regulations and now allowing music with lyrics I hope he gets really cool programs.
