It's gone insane again....but I'm waiting for most of that to be taken back because it can't possibly go for 50million. I think pranksters are posting bogus bids again.

Thought so...it´s weird that Yahoo doesn´t have a better way to sanction this. And some people are :shock2: why mess up with something that is for charity.
 
I’m going to guess closer to 30 million, maybe just shy of it, imagining that he’s gained some wealthy fans out there who have the ability to buy this for a museum or other in the future.

I think his stock has shot up a lot since the bike jersey auction which went for around 10 million. The boot itself is an actual skating item so maybe some see it worth more money as an item to be displayed in the future.

Oh, why...it was going well until this morning, the last time I saw, the price was around 5 million yen. What will Yahoo do with this...? I expect it will be over 8 million and hopefully 10 million :biggrin:

I blame the TV show. --it spiked again after they broadcast the boots on TV. :rolleye: Who will guess the closest to the right price? it's a competition. :biggrin:
 
Saw a random youtube video of a girl in a skating after party.
She was wearing a balck dress and I think she is chinese.
I noticed she was very persistent in asking Yuzu his weekend sched in Toronto. And Yuzu was like saying he will be busy.
Who is the girl? I was kind of amused on how hard she tried to hook up with Yuzu but to no avail. :rolleye:
Or did I read her actions wrong?

Oh dear , it was Li zijun , she's a skater too don't worry , and she was was asking because she was also going to Toronto at that time if I remember
 
I thought you had to send an email if the bid was higher than 500 000 yen soooo how could it be fake.? If someone is messing around that's not nice.
 
I just hope this bidding really reap lots. Yuzu aimed it to help Sendai and people should not be messing this good cause.
 
Oda wrote about Yuzuru in his book :)

・His favorite performances from Yuzuru are PW in the individual event of Sochi Olympics and SEIMEI in GPF. (He wrote this book in December of 2017) And if he was asked "what is the iconic program of Yuzuru?", he would say SEIMEI.

・Yuzuru is a type of skater who had never been in the history, and we may not see anyone like him in future. He analyzes Yuzuru has everything for doing this sport and all he has is at the highest level. He summarized Yuzuru as a skater into 5 points, 1) (looks like) he has almost no preparation before the jumps, 2) his transition is incredible, 3) his jumps, spins, steps, all are matched the music and expressed well, 4) he has no limit and does not set the limit, 5) after reaching the goal, he finds another one and keeps going forward.

・By looking at Yuzuru closely, it is not like he is super strong mentally. He has heard of Yuzuru saying "I am so nervous, my legs are shaking" before the competition. He thinks Yuzuru is strong not because he doesn't get tense but because he is able to overcome the nervousness.

・Most of the skaters don't talk about figure skating each other when they are off the ice, but he likes watching the performances of other skaters and so does Yuzuru, so they talk a lot about figure skating. Yuzuru is eager to study the sport, he watches practices of others in the ice shows.

・He likes to talk with kohai and Yuzuru is a person who is friendly to senpai, so he feels Yuzuru is easy to talk with. Yuzuru is often upset after making mistake in his performance of the ice shows, and Oda asks him "Are you ok?" and then Yuzuru mumbles "I'm ok" being frustrated at himself. But afterwards, Yuzuru comes to Oda and says "I'm sorry for my bad attitude earlier, thank you very much" (:laugh:). Oda likes this kind of gap in Yuzuru. Yuzuru likes trendy things, he seems to be playing games and doing the internet a lot at home because it is snowy in Toronto. He does not go out with Yuzuru, he sometimes asks him out for meal etc, but it has not come true yet.

・He thinks Yuzuru is a type of skater who jumps with high technique rather than with physical ability, so he will be able to make up for the lack of stamina with technique if he decides to skate some more years.

I remembered one thing, when Fumie Suguri was talking about Yuzuru on TV last year, she said Yuzuru was the only kohai skater who was friendly to her :laugh: (You know it doesn't mean other kohai skaters are unfriendly, I'm not confident in explaning the senpai-kohai situation in Japanese society so please see here if you are curious. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senpai_and_kōhai)

Thanks so much for this. It's great to hear. Also, I agree with you about the difficulty of explaining sempai-kohai relations. :biggrin: But Yuzu has always been determinedly casual and friendly with all skaters while still being respectful.

On another note, I see Yuzu's boots are back down to the more reasonable 5 million. :laugh:

I understand its relationship between senior and junior. Though its most likely more formal and structured in Japan than other Asia countries.

For instance,though I'm from Asia, I have no qualms abt scolding my company CEO even though he is much higher rank and older in age. Not if its abt work.
