Ditto.
Hope the best for Yuzuru, and wishing he feels proud of himself at the end is has been a tough couple of weeks for him.
we live to serve, lol. Nol, not really, because I really cannot tell you anything interesting, just, he seemed fine.

ahhhh so jealous of you and everyone else who are gonna watch him live, hope you will have the best time and i will go to the corner and cry
At last, he used three times of “God telling me” to present his mindset in different phases.
“When the accident of CoC happened, it was God telling me to take a rest.“
“If I did not qualify to GPF, it was God telling me to take more rest and prepare for Japan Nationals until late of December.”
“Now I can go to GPF, it is God telling me to overcome the challenges ahead me.”
thanks for link and translation
Yuzuru never fails to amaze me!
Sometimes I think the "it was God telling me to...." thinking is dangerous. To me, it's more about you have choices and you need to use your judgement and take the responsibility for your decision and action. But I am glad I can see Yuzuru compete at GPF, and I wish him have a satisfying competition.
I hate you
just so you know

Mah I guess maybe Brian didn't know and think much about the magazine that interviewed him. After all he is not Japanese so he might not know which magazine has better reputation.@Meoima
Yes, that article was interesting to read.
My first thought was "Why, Weekly Gendai !? Exclusive!?" though. Honestly.
Anyway, it's nice the summarized translation has come out so quickly.
I don't think there's something misinformed in the article. Still maybe the interview was done right after NHK and while Brian was still in Japan, so Brian and Yuzuru might talk cautiously. I guess Yuzuru's condition is much better now. We should worry less and stay positive (well actually I am talking to myself).
Let's try our best to enjoy Yuzuru's performances without thinking of the placement.

Aaaahhhh, lucky! Thank you so much for the updates, and do enjoy the competition! It's nice to hear that he seems fine, though honestly, he has been looking thinner lately.
Also, I really don't think he'll be in fine form at the GPF, and that's not really a bad thing since he has to conserve energy for Nationals. It would be nice to see him on the podium, but I think the most important thing is for him to get back into the rhythm of competitions and regain confidence on the ice, however imperfect his performances may be. It's a long shot for him to have excellent performances at this point (but in no way am I saying it's impossible! This Yuzuru, after all), but come what may, I want him to skate his best under the current circumstances and have a performance that he will be satisfied with.
Regarding Brian's interview, I agree with his point that Yuzuru must learn to say no. He can't skate in 50+ ice shows off-season, especially when they're situated in a country other than his training base. He has to choose carefully which shows and appearances to make. Found the anecdote about Yuzuru's "Yeah" funny -- it's a typical student's response, nodding the head when the teacher asks you if you understood the lesson even if you didn't.
Does anyone know if he's sticking to his original jump layouts for SP and FS, or to the "watered-down" (this I say with a bucket of salt) content?
He only needs to be halfway fit to win, or at least to put signifcant pressure on everyone else.
He also gets to skate first in the SP.
Nothing is ever certain of course - but I think he has as good a chance as anyone, if not better.
I like to think positive :-D

practice report from @CSSp4 (twitter):
not sure what to feel about 3lz since he hasnt landed it this season yet, but i choose to be optimistic about it
I honesty think that there is something in the timing of his short that makes it difficult for him to jump the lutz, IMO it's not a technical problem because in the free he hasn't had any particular problem with that jump...
