Thank you for all the translations and info! 
So the article that mentions that he arrived on Toronto on september 24th, does that mean that he 's training normally?
I hope so, if he's training, even doing less 4lo, means that the sore knee is getting better :hopelessness:

I like that last paragraph he says about Yuzu but I also wonder if they're still butting heads about what the plan for the season is. I'm not sure Brian is keen on the 4Lz.

I assume this is an ongoing subject of all their meetings.

"When you see him on the ice, there's something special," Orser said. "There's something about his speed, his flow, his triple axels, even the quads. When you see him with other guys you can see the difference. It's hard to find the words, but there's something special about his freedom when he skates."
This is actually such a beautiful compliment from Brian!
"He's very competitive."
LOL Brian, you don't say

I enjoyed this show a lot and actually I've just rewatched it
It's really nice to have Honda-san as a guest, I agreed with many points he said, such as the importance of GOE and transition. And it was interesting that he said the boots (edges) would be broken if the skaters tried 5 rotations and he was not even joking, and everyone at the studio was :eekn:I like "sandwich man", too! Their manzai is my favorite :thumbsup: They are from Sendai and they and Yuzuru know each other

Yes, it was a good show, since the panel are all entertainers, Except Honda, they were funny and had lots of comments, and you could tell, some of them actually watch figure skating.

Orser is wise and smart, he knows Olympic pressure and attention that his students will have to face. I think it's a very wise strategy that Orser hold Hanyu back. If Hanyu were with any other coaches, they might have allowed him to do 4lz and 4Lo at SCAI. But a true experienced coach who knows Olympic pressure says no.
People might feel impressed by the number of quads and think they're great, but in the end it's the quality of skating and cleanest skating that speak loudest at the Olympic.

Slowly uploading the fancam videos I took at ACI.
Here's the videos from day 1, we got a treat seeing his new cool down method with the besti squats. Brian is certainly right, there's something else about Yuzu on the ice that just grabs your attention. Whether it's the jumps, or spins, or even the way he cools down, it really is captivating.

Not only at Olympics. We have seen it countless times at Worlds, GPF etc.: a clean and top-quality skate gives you goosebumps - not a quad-packed programme - especially if you mess up two or three of them.
Javi doesn't have to worry about is "poor" quad-arsenal: with two different quads you can include 6 in your complete programme (two in the short, four in the free, if you repeat both of them).
If you have all 5 quads (4A excluded) in your repertoire, you can put 9 in total into your layout (still only two in the short, and seven in the free - but let's be honest - which stomach can endure 7 quads in 4:30 minutes?! That's hilarious...) I would say: 5 quads are far from easy but realistic to do (six are crazy and surely cost you every power for artistry).
THAT MEANS: Even, if you can do three more quad-types than Javi, you can only show one or two more in your programme because of formal and especially physical restrictions. True, a 4Lz has a higher base value than a 4S or 4T, but Javi can easily equal it with higher GOE and PCS (if he skates clean of course).
That's why I think, Yuzuru shouldn't worry too much about that quad-madness. He should rely on his qualities - which he has.

This is an article of Nikkan sports newspaper, when they interviewed Dick Button in New York, they received his handwritten message to Yuzuru, and they delivered it to Yuzuru through the staff. After SP at ACI, as soon as Yuzuru found the journalist from Nikkan sports, he said "Thank you for Dick Button's (message)". Nikkan put the message note into the transparent frame, and Yuzuru said it was displayed as it was in his room

Thank you so much for the translation of the video by gladi , and thank you for sharing it.
I kind of half understand it when I first watch it, and get confused when he said the injury was not there by GPF, now I understand more with the translation.
The shikikami seal position is a new fact for me, it's easy to imagine how much heart and soul Yuzu and his team put into SEIMEI, when he come down to little details like this, that's why SEIMEI as a program is so complete, as if it has its own universe backing it up.
I am really glad that he bring back SEIMEI this season.

A bit OT but I finally got around to watching the Onmyoji movies. (I know, I know. Bad fan! Bad, bad fan 
LOL). Anyway I really enjoyed them and now I've got a bit of an Nomura Mansai obsession going. Unfortunately I haven't found much to go on English-language-wise. Mostly just clips in Japanese with no subtitles. I am trying to learn Japanese (I just started a couple of weeks ago) but it's slow going. So other than the occasional word, I have no clue what's going on.
But I did find this clip about the movie "Floating Castle" where the actors are asked to say something in a "foreign language". Suprisingly, (at least going by the gasps in the audience) Mansai spoke in English (Yeah!!
) saying that while '(His costar) is unique' [I think he was aiming for strange or odd?]. He continues, 'His character ... is very, very cool. I'm cool, but my character in the film is unique.'
Now every time I think of Yuzu skating that program, I picture Seimei lounging around drinking sake and I hear Mansai's low purr saying 'I'm very, very cooool." What have I done? Whelp.
