thank you all for the vids, pics and updates :luv17: this was such a fun event, watching right now, yuzu got shivers watching Wakaba's skate, so cute. What if that inspires him to choose the same music next season, I dread the kind of costume he would end up with for scheherazade :rofl:

If only Yuzu could take tips from Boyang, not only on the 4Lz but also about fashion and suits ! Damn boyangman knows how to dress :rofl:

You know what, I prefer him this way :biggrin: can't find a suit that fits perfectly, needs help to do his tie properly, has trouble standing on his own and needs to be picked up every once in a while :p
 

Boyang's suit fits so well! And he's in a non-conventional checkered 3-piece with a textured metallic tie that looks so dapper! Boyang, please help Yuzu find a good tailor :cry:

Watching Boyang's stream and lol at them giving prizes to the higher ranked guys and Yuzu being third. He must be seething inside a bit during that.

I'm sure :devil: Despite the hair pulling and frustration, I think Yuzu losing to Nathan at 4CC, winning by a small margin to Shoma at Worlds and then losing to them both this WTT with the GOE and PCS given to his competitors may be a good thing in the long run to the Olympics. He's going to want to make sure that no matter what, the judges won't be able to deny him the OGM. These youngsters are only going to make him reach greater heights is my thinking :devil: For some reason, I'm not worried they'll surpass him either. I don't think they have his talent and even if I'm wrong and they do, they definitely don't have his ambition.

No I want to see that!!! He'll look so good! Gold and bling! Illusion mesh on the midriff! Harem pants!
 
I'm So late to the Party it's bad

I had Uni all day and stupid group assignments and missed like everything :( However I did stalk the twitter every now and then and finally caught up with the thread now!
Watched Boyang's livestream ( God bless this kid and his livestreams ), Yuzu will never find a suit that fits him, that's his trademark now, like seriously everyone wears perfectly fitted suits nope not happening

Also so happy to see him all happy and cheery and ugh I'm just happy the WTT ended on a good note tho I bet he's very Kuyashii about the third place Hahaha boi chill
Also I really adored that Javi was sitting on the team japan table and all the different headdresses Yuzu got from the headband, to the flowercrown ( Oh that flowercrown ) to the greeny leafy thing ( Forgot it's name ) at the medal ceremony

ALSO the f is with the 4Lz and the 4F like please Yuzu my heart just started functioning again why do you want to kill me? Tho I guess it's a good sign the evil cloud from the sp is gone and hopefully will never return

Also I hoped polarbear Nathan to be at the Gala but nooope

Ah man I can already feel the off season sadness creeping in
 
It is today's latest interview (next day of FP)

I think it's interesting and made a partial translation. If you have something to know more and confirm, please comment.I or other members who can understand Japanese will help you.

Q. About this season,

Thinking back this season, I had the two months period when I could do nothing. But finally at the free program of this competition I was able to get the performance which I had been aiming for. As an achievement of this competition, I tried the very difficult thing, and I was able to do what I wanted to here. It was a success before Olympics.

Q.About the layout of next season

I have no plan to make a drastic change. Still I can’t get two clean programs both with SP and FP. While I must get more quads or add something creative to combo, aside them, I would love to focus on GOE and the perfection of program, what’s more, expressing the program which I want to. This season I had done some challenges. I want to improve myself more with them.

Q. Before, you said you wanted to turn a professional skater while you could get the best performance. Now the level of competitions is getting higher so much and dramatic. How’s the change of your mind?

This time it was just tough, I felt (lol). This was different from Worlds. Time time was like “Why did my works so far pay off?”. All skaters are doing the difficult things, besides doing that, we must make a complete program in itself and the necessary level is very high. That’s why I enjoy practices very much and my motivation is getting bigger. Now I’m enjoying skate regardless of retirement or something.

Q.About triple axel and quad.

About quad, when I broke the record of SP, the focal points were the high GOE of 4T and the perfection of 3A. Considering them, 4T has helped me a lot so far. Thus it is important to get GOE with 4t and excuse a clean 4t. This time the second 4T at the latter half was a bit hard, but the first had about the same quality as the first (in the first half) and I got a response of GOE of from 2 to 3 with it although the entry was not so complicated.
In that sense, I doesn’t feel the necessity to focus on 3A only.

However, my enthusiasm with axel is the one beyond your imagination provably. More than else, the reason why I came to love skate to such an extent is thanks to axel. Without axel, I may not have won at National Novice and not have been able to skate with a confidence like this. That’s why I have the feelings that I don’t want to exclude axel. (note: In another source, he said he wanted to get 4A at the same interview.)

Q. Are you aiming for more difficult layout in the future, or you will make a realistic choice to win?

I had a thought about it also before FP at Worlds. I myself had started 4lo and needed more difficult layout. That’s why I had decided this current layout after the discussion with Brian. However considering the past, I was not a type of skater who got difficult jumps, but the one who achieved a program, getting the stable and clean jumps and the expressions together. True I practiced 4ltz today, but now I feel that it’s better to add what I want to express or jumps which I can get comfortably, not trying hard with such as 4ltz.

Of course, I love what’s difficult, and I know the risk of injury with it. However, the reason why I got to love skate is skate is the extraordinary and there’s something which I can experience with skate only and one of the factors is a jump. The difficulty and the sense of achievement with jumps had attracted me gradually. Thus doing the practice of 4ltz or 4f is fun!
