Now he just have to evade the press again when he goes to Akihabara to pick up his custom headphones as well as to go on vacation with his family in August.

Oooh, I think I also want to get one... I hope that the design with Yuzu's signature also goes on sale for the public. That would be one more good reason to drop by Akihabara.

Thank you so much for it! I wish he actually say WHY in that question on favorite skaters.

I'm not sure if it was shared before, but I think my favourite R+J fanvid has to be this: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm23418426, where his 2014 W EX is projected on top of his 2012 W LP, creating a ghost-like effect. Somehow, it's very compelling.

The one who took that photo seems to be the mother/relative of the guy (John Hallman) beside Yuzu and that day they rode the same bus by chance...He's a Swedish junior skater (same as the girl Natasja Remstedt) that does his summer training at the Cricket Club so they are training mates^^ On his blog he wrote he'll train in Toronto for 5 weeks (I saw that they've at least been there for a month already so they are lucky to meet Yuzu before they leave )

The comment to this picture: "It is inspiring to train alongside worldstars like Yuzuru Hanyu."

Thanks, pooh91！

Just out of curiosity, how is Yuzuru DVD/Blue Ray second week sales going?

It is sometimes on sometimes off
Just quote from one blogger that I followed: by July 29 DVD: 1→2→2→2→3→2→7→30→11→9→8→9→2→6

hwell: I guess that´s ok... do we have any information on how dvd´s from other skaters have sell (total numbers)

Awwww, hilarious~~~ the first time I see Yuzu stand that straight!! Good posture, boy!

I think Yuzuru´s bad posture is partly because he is taller than other skaters in Japan.

How on earth tall is the guy???　Yuzuru looks like an elementary school boy next to him (゜o゜)
I know western people generally taller compared to asian people but still…

Those are great! My favorite is the last one because his costume is not feminine and he looks just like a modern day Romeo. :yay:

【photo】high quality Ballade 1 shots at Dream on Ice in late June.

Absolute Skating today releases a series of high quality photos at DOI in late June, especially the skaters' new program. The photos are arranged by order in accordance with performance. So we can see a general impression.

Here is the Yuzu's Ballade 1

Just out of curiosity, how is Yuzuru DVD/Blue Ray second week sales going?

Yuzu's DVD was ranked 10th place in second sale week (7/21- 7/27), blu-ray version dropped out of the top ten.
http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/dg/w/2014-08-04/more/2/

Mao and Dai have release their DVD in 2014, earlier than Yuzu. The sale numbers of three skaters in first week are as following:

* Dai D1SK (2014 January release): 7582 copies
* Mao Smile (2014 April release): 6844 copies
* Yuzu Time of Awakening (2014 July release): 21,000 copies (plus blu-ray 23,000 copies)

ps. Mao & Dai haven't released blu-ray version.

Somehow I think these top skaters have greatly promoted figure skating to more people in Japan and worldwide. It's not just sale numbers but a momentum to this sport.

I'm off for a little vacation/team building so I'll just give you guys a warning that there are changes in my way of sharing the ripped files.

First of all, I put up the DM links here in good faith that you'll abide by the request I've made. Sadly, somebody posted the links to tumblr. I did not post it on tumblr because
a. i don't want attention
b. copyright issues

I'm pretty much sure that the links can't be searched directly in English or Japanese (kanji/romanji/katakana) that is why the title was vague. I tried searching using both before I put up the links. I don't know how the poster find out? I could venture a guess and it's not pretty. BUT don't worry I will still share, being in the Johnny's fandom for so long, I could attest how hard it is to get your hands on goods when shipping costs much more than the item sometimes. I will share because it my J&A communities, we share to encourage people to buy so as to support the artists.

In view of this, I'm going to put it up on a file sharing site (rather my sister will upload it while I'm away). I'm not going to make you jump through so many hoops though, but I WILL make you jump. The Scorpio in me would like to make it a little harder for you by putting it up in clubbox, a Korean site. BUT since that is to much bothersome, I'm going to put it up to a more accessible site. The thing is there will be a password and there's a limit to the number of persons I will share it with daily. I'm going to post when the links are up and then we'll try it my way.
