For me Yuzu is addictive. I can never get enough of him. Partly because he is always challenging himself and never satisfied. Last year he said sometimes he has to set some limit to what he can achieve, probably because he was not able to do clean program and frustrated by it himself. But, after SC this year he again said he will keep challenging and do not want to set limit. That is his character. But as many people are saying this year is probably the last chance for him (and other skaters as well) to try new things. Beause next year would be pre-olympic season and him as well as others have to think more stragetically. For this year he is already capable to deliver up to this level, he will work on it and own the program by GPF or Japan National. He is doing is current layout because he is confident he can do it and I'm sure he will.

The things this kid does just because/just for fun. He skates away like nbd.:cool14:

 

[giulia95]

I'm not so sure it's just for fun ...it seems he 's learning to apply the same pattern of transitions into all his different 4....maybe some day..:hap93:

This boy showing us once again that he's not really human :hap93:
Only Yuzuru does a 4S out of the blue just because he's sort of bored

He's been practicing 4T-3T a lot too...wonder whether he is thinking of doing it or just knowing it in himself that he can do that combo?

I have a feeling he's going to change his SP by having this spread eagle-4T-spread eagle be the opening jump and move his triple axel into the second half.

 

[giulia95]

Actually it seems magician Seimei is totaly adsorbed in an experimental and very creative jumping storm :hap85::hap36:

Are the first 5 combos in this compilation video 4T-3T?

From my very untrained eyes I know three of them are, but the ones in Etude outfit are probably not...during SC OP he has been doing 4T-3T too.

Thanks Firal.


Yuzu always reminds me of "Think Different" commercial.

The original text

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo.

You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward.

Maybe they have to be crazy. How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels? We make tools for these kinds of people.

While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

 

[HanDomi]

I wonder if that means he is already thinking about adding 4S to short this season in place of 3A at beginning, and moving 3A to the end :eekn:
