Yuzuru Hanyu: 2016-17 Season

[gladiolusc]

No it's not you it's me. It is a very long interview so likely I would not even remember every single thing he said. It is such a heavy and packed interview that I need to read over and over to fully comprehend every details, and so many technical stuff there, amazing Have I told you how ILUSM for translating it :luv17:
sending you candies and cupcakes virtually

Aww thank you!

I think translating the interview essentially helped me do a close reading of it that I otherwise wouldn't have done. Side effect I remember every little bit from it XD

Yeah, I've a feeling translators are the only people who really read texts... and with some texts, I think, they're the only people who do.

Once I saved a gif and named it "4T" then I realised it was a salchow.. It should be otherwise as mcq said, that his pick is so light that it is not even visible, but this time I hallucinated that he picked his toe. It's embarrassing, but if I don't see the steps before he jumps then to me, it is easier to confuse, also because he goes into his jumps so fast....

Am I the only one who associate Yuzu's jumps with colours?

To me:
3A = red
4T = grey
4Lo = dark green
4S = royal blue
3F = yellow
3Lz = purple

I don't do that but i associate Yuzu with strawberry flavored desserts

I've never thought of it this way But I'm intrigued. Why those colors in particular? Is it an emotional thing?

No, there is no particular reason for it. I see a jump and a colour just comes to my mind. If it happens only once or twice I don't care about it, but in Yuzu's case every jump (well the triple and quadruple ones) has a colour now. He jumps the 4S and I think of royal blue every time.

It sounds a bit like a case of Synesthesia. ;-)

Blimey, I could have asked to paint an abstract picture of what Yuzu programs are like then...

 

[YuzusHydroblade]

3900 pages! We're so close to 4000

Wow this thread moves so fast!! I want to join the Yuzu face club so I will try to post more often

I've a friend who memorises phone numbers like that - by associating the figures with colours. I've always envied that ability...

I have imagined a motion picture and it looks awesome in my mind. Everything is black and white and when he jumps..boom! There comes the colour!

Maybe I'll paint it once...in the summer when I have more time.

So spins and step sequences are black and white?
Will look forward to your paintings then!!!

ETA: It's so nice to be able to talk to so many talented people in this thread - people painting pictures, playing musical instruments. You're quite inspirational, all of you.
And no, I'm NOT drunk now.

StSq is definitely black..spins..it's hard to tell. Sit spin is black too.

Ina bauer is baby blue!

Hydroblading is burgundy/maroon.

I'd expect spins to be a blur... anything white?

 

[sallycinnamon]

And no, I'm NOT drunk now.

It's that time of the week again though.

No white. I don't like the colour on ice so I unconsciously erase it from my mind when I watch figure skating.

This is super cool! I'd love to see your paintings. You know, this reminds me of a music prof I have who associates certain music notes with colors. Sounds like a great skill for anything artistic!

OK, I'm drinking tea again. If someone can get drunk on that...

So... the first LGC costume must have been bad for you, eh?

I'm drinking tea now, too! But I decided to add some rum into it, because you know...I want to start the preparation for Worlds. I must stay healthy!

I like it on Yuzuru, because it highlights his beautiful face, but to me, a white costume never looks good on the ice. Look at this, his legs are not visible at all.

But his torso's just floating above the ice then...
I wish I could have some brandy in my tea too. OK, I'll just imagine it's there!
