Yes..i've been wondering about that too.. They do part in good terms right? And i've read somewhere that yuzu's blade technician is nanami sensei's husband and saw some video of yuzu and nanami after part (gala practices)..but no new interview with nanami sensei. Who is nanami sensei's current pupil?

I thought she coached Ryuju but turns out i was wrong.
Speculation aside, they seem to be on good terms. She made the Hana Wa Saku EX for him last year and she choreographs most of the competition Gala finales like NHK, Japan Nationals and WTT where they talk and seem happy together.

What are Brian and Mr Kikuchi doing to Pooh? https://twitter.com/GeumNa/status/678525667911204865
Look like changing Pooh's diaper.

I've been rewatching the GPF, and you know what my favorite jump of Yuzuru in the LP is? I think it's his 3F. The comentators mention a 3A "out of nowhere" but the 3F is really out of nowhere. It looks as though he's going into just a revolution on ice, or maybe a twizzle or a spin, but there's a jump instead. And if I remember correctly it was the same last season with POTO. Like, blink and you miss it, because there really is no set up at all.

Oh yes! High five! Me too :luv17:
I read somewhere (forgot which interview...I think it's with the Russian or Italian commentators few weeks ago, maybe..I'm not sure) that his 3F in LP deserves +3 GOE because it is really out of nowhere and then straight into a spin. I think I never saw 3F like that. And I think his 3F need more love...poor baby. But yeah, it's hard cuz 3A, 4L, 4S, 4T and even pesky 3Lz get more love and attention. Great to see his 3F doesn't get edge call like in the past :agree:

Italian commentators also said that his 3F has improved so much. Yes it's still not a jump he can jump quad from it I think. But it's not a weak jump from him anymore. Having said that, his edge jumps are still so much massive.
Do you think his 4S is bigger or 4T is bigger? You were in the arena, please share us your impression.
I think I read in an article saying that both her and his mom do not want the spotlight so they refuse interviews. This is right after Sochi when you'd think the media would love to have a story with his past teachers and parents and play up the emotional bit, however we never saw anything like that after the Sochi win. Same thing goes for Kikuchi-san; I remember reading that a "source"( yes, please take this info with a discretion as I read Yahoo articles which are not always better than gossip) says Kikuchi-san also starts to decline to be interviewed.
If Pooh gets a boo-boo, I have the perfect band-aidsI think is a double-sided duct tape to fix Mr. Pooh on the board. Can't risk an injury by falling on the ice. :noshake:
I really didn't think about comparing them (and I was a bit too busy crossing my fingers about whether he'll land them for that, lol) but now that I think of it, perhaps 4S was bigger? But it might have been because of the fact that he jumped it in my corner... His 4T from a distance seemed quite big as well, it was a really close call.
IIRC That out of nowhere 3F appeared in Zigeunerweisen FS and surely was in R&J 1…. Nanami, the Queen of jump transition

His 3F in the LP is really cool! But I'm not sure if he's really on an inside edge? He used to get edge calls for the 3F but then he didn't get anymore edge calls from 1 or 2 seasons back (or is it more I can't remember). Does anyone know if he's really fixed it onto an inside edge or if it's still an unclear edge? Because some skaters have really obvious flutzes or lips but they never get called for it and I was wondering if that's what may be happening for Yuzuru too... and I can't seem to find a good video to check his takeoff edge for the flip

It seems to me it's clearly Nanami’s personal choice.
I believe Yuzu has never cut his umbilical cord with Nanami, actually I can see her traces and imprints everywhere in Yuzu's jumps, spins, transitions and overall skating, and it seems to me they certainly are not fading away , may be the opposite.
I can easily recognize Nanami’s philosophy to set the bar higher and higher in Yuzu’s decision to upgrade the SP content, since Etude SP already had 4T-3T combo and a counter 3A, or in Yuzu's constant refuse to remove the 4S from his FS.
And most remarkably Yuzu skated to many of her programs as EX , expecially in his most glorious victories , White Legend in Sochi and R&J 1 at 2014 Worlds, it’s like a silent, melting and very private dialogue between them.

I thought I was the only one that likes his 3F the most.
All the jumps look the same in the air and the landings look the same too. To me, only the entries before the jumps and the take off look different. In general, I prefer turns (or some curves/round pattern) before the jumps and no break/preparation before the jumps. I can't tell if the jump has the correct edge and I don't mind if the jump doesn't have the correct edge. The 3F is his only jump that has turns and no breaks/preparation at all before the jump. (I think his 3F has been this way for many seasons, not just this season.) For his other jumps, I can still see him preparing to jump or have a very small break before the jumps.
My ranking of his jumps:
3F > 4S > 4T > 3A > 3Lo > 3Lz
3Lz has the longest set up. (He has very short set up for 3Lz, but that jump has the longest set up compared to his other jumps. The other skaters' set up for 3Lz is much longer, especially the ladies. They take "forever" to jump the 3Lz.)

The only one I perosnally like better than 3F is spreadeagle-3A-spreadeagle, but Yuzu doesn't do it too often. And his 3A-1lo-3S usually looks really cool on ice too. These are my top ones, but I agree that the entries with revolutions to quads make them special.
