Yuzuru is going to melt away on that ice with 2 of his idols beside him (or get a nose bleed).
How lucky for the people who were able to get tickets to see Plushy there as well.
Fans in Japan are calling the show "Otoko Matsuri" (Men's Festival) because there are no ladies in the cast so far.
I'd imagine there'll be female junior skaters from Sendai Rink unless they're making a conscious effort not to include ladies for some reason.
Also anyone notices this show will be on Friday the 13th? And a full moon day or sth?
I'm not superstitious, but they sure know how to pick a date ^^;

There is always going to be critiscm. It's only when a skater is so good that people are forced to criticize qualities which are above par for most. Therefore criticism in this case may just be compliments in disguise of his many other attributes:yes:
maybe I'm just seeing things, but... watch 01:30 - 01:45 and tell me if you notice something (here's a hint:)
This fearless boy always made (big) smiles at solemn occasions.

I am the one who are going to see OTOKO-MATSURI, on Friday the 13th
And Lucky me! I 've got a ticket of FOI in NIIGATA
oh yes, that's a good one, too
I love that about himI'll just admit that this actually made me chuckle
(I think there might be something wrong with us)but in all seriousness, I'm really happy for the kid
getting to share his own show with people he admires so much, seems like a much greater and more personal reward than many of those awards he's been given lately. He's worked hard for it, I say he deserves it :yes:- Joined

Ah, I didn't notice.
People here probably think it's just a title of a movie. And it's a full moon on the night? Does that mean the boys will be howling??Wow, you are so lucky and I am so jealous!
Please report to us on your experience if you can maintain your sanity during the show. :yay:

What do you mean there might be something wrong with us? I think I'm perfectly normal thank you very much
Yes, it's great that he can get all these fabulous skaters to come and skate in his home town. I hope he can continue to do this every year.

so do I, but the voices keep telling me that I'm notWhat do you mean there might be something wrong with us? I think I'm perfectly normal thank you very much
but I'll take it back, I'm sorry, you're perfectly normal, I'll just be weird on my own
awesome idea
I can already see the Twilight theme. They got werewolves in that one, don't they? And I've been told those vampires sparkle, which would be perfect for all the glittery skater bling.lady_bee, don't forget your tissue box then

The Twilight theme:think:… vampires…. nose bleed…. panic at Xebio Arena!
And I've kind of decided on who's playing which role in my head. OK, let me join your club for weirdos.

Take some cotton balls for your nose too!
The pedo bird signing Yuzuru's board doesn't make sense to me, but I hope it makes sense for Sendai soccer fans.

Lucky you! Are you from Sendai??
Full Moon Friday the 13th is actually quite a rare occurrence. The last time it happened was in October 2000, and after 2014, there won’t be another one until August 2049. (So, like I said, they sure know how to pick a date
)【article】How does Yuzu think about his choreography?
I just read an article in Figure Skating No.63 (published in late April 2014).
Yuzu was interviewed after Worlds tournament. There is one part fresh to me – his thoughts regarding choreography. It’s quite rare in public. I just made a translated summary as following:
photo in magazine
Q: In last season, David Wilson choreograph for your LP and Jeffrey Buttle did for SP. What are their features of choreography?
Y: I felt the free program was collaborated with both of us. It made me a little surprise. (Nothing more, only one sentence about DW in the article! :think
Speaking of Jeff’s work, it is a kind of self-centered type. As long as the choreography completed, he hope you get to follow and execute his initial arrangement. However, in “Paris Walkway” chore process, something was different.
Jeff initially arranged two jumps in first part of program. But I wanted to take advantage of 1.1 times scores where jumps in second half. So I said to him “sorry Jeff, I wanted to put two jumps in second half.”
He listened and acknowledged to me and we worked together from the bottom to arrange the program. To me, I was involved these two programs in some way, and thanked the choreographers who fully considered my thought to finalize the programs.
Q: Is it better to skate if you're involved in choreography?
Y: The reason I'm involved in choreography was that I would play the program in many tournaments within whole season. Any competition is stressful. If the program I skate didn't be carefree to me, the stress will happen up.
No doubt, high level jumps will increase the difficulties of the program. If your choreography with jumps made you feel stressful, the program is a meaningless one. In order to design a non-stressful program with jumps, I care of the layout.

So next time we see a program we don´t like we put 50% of the blame in Yuzuru?【article】How does Yuzu think about his choreography?

I´m kidding, but is nice to know that he gets involve in his choreography that much.
Not sure anyone post this photo yet. But too cute to ignore. Baby Yuzuru: http://24.media.tumblr.com/53f69df965f065a20443e180b87b78b3/tumblr_n3jsi7Yl751su3h0no1_500.jpg

This comment is really well written and thought out; criticism comes in different forms but that could also switch into a compliment because people are actually paying extra attention to find faults, maybe even hoping for his improvement secretly.
