French commentators are popular on Niconico video in Japan as "お茶の間フランス実況シリーズ", meaning French Commentators in Livingroom Series (very direct translation)
Usually volunteer translation is attached under the screen some time later.

Sometimes Nelson's voice could be heard in the live coverage of other country's video (Maybe their booths were close), and Viewers laughed and commented "Tone down, Nelson !"
Anyway, Japanese fans are enjoying their coverage very much.
I am reading Yuzu’s Blue Flame Chapter 9 again (many thanks to千回百慕生who translated it into Chinese http://tieba.baidu.com/p/1527869353 she also put on Chinese subtitle for many of Yuzus videos). In this chapter Yuzu talked about many skates he competed at junior level.
Something interesting between him and Han Yan. Yuzu said (almost bragged) that he knew a lot about Han. It was the first year of their novice competition (when Yuzu won the Japanese Novice, so it was 2004?), and Han was the youngest skater (he is about one year younger than Yuzu). Yuzu felt great about his spinning, and Han was good as well. When they were in the open practice they already started competing - If Han did a biellmann, he would do it immediately. They did not talk but looked at each other and passed the messages like “I absolutely can do better!” At the end Han was placed 2nd and Yuzu 4th. Of course, he “regretted”, and he considered Han his first rival and the first one made him “regret”. So when it comes to Han, he had the especially strong feeling “I must not lose to him”.
My memory flashed back to crash between them back in CoC. Yuzu kept asking about Han when he came out with bandage on his hand, and later Han went shake his hands before the competition. Also days ago Han wrote a message on his Weibo about the costumes they prefer since they were kids. Han joked that he has been in vests and shirts since he was little, while Yuzu always likes things frilling. They also had very silly pictures taken together.
Just feeling sweet about the boys. Yuzu is at a complete different level now, and I hope Han will improve and get closer. He is my favorite Chinese skater in the men’s single discipline.
. I wish she is on hot dial to interpret the usual interviews after SP & LP because the officials that were with Yuzu did not interpret his words well enough.
This reminds me of Shuzo Matsuoka. He is always hyper in commenting all the sports
I sometimes forget that he is a legendary tennis player in Japan
with all the boost. Poor Yuzuru, whenever he skates, despite how hard he tries some people will just jump in with murderous mood .
Lol sorry I don't want to say this but looking at how US Nationals score their top skaters I feel utterly unfair for Yuzuru lol. It's like he was massively underscored on his home ice.
Russian Nationals and US Nationals are so
Just imagine if Yuzuru were American and skated at US Nationals lol. His SP at Japan Nationals 2014 might get which score at US Nationals? What do you think? 103?
