In the NBC VR App you can watch Yuzu's free in 180 degrees. It randomly changes angles for you though for which side of the rink you're on so that was a bit annoying.

mmmm who knows... I guess...
Skate America would be Nathan Chen´s
Cup of China- Is Boyangs
Do you guys think he will try to win GP he hasn´t won?
I´m would think he would go Skate Canada (no travel would be easier for him), TEB (he hadn´t won that one)
Is there any chance he does Skate Canada and NHK?
I really think with Patrick, Skate Canada is open to be won...
And I would think Japan would like him for NHK no matter what...

Is it just my impression or do Yuzu's pants look rather mustard yellow than gold in that pic? :con3:Yude thank you for the translation.
Reading it made mood so happy. Yuzuru is really amazing. How about yuzu in all Gold for LGC?

Nothing but gold for this boy.
Credits to the owner.
The golden waistcoat looks quite cool, though :agree:

Re speculations about Yuzu's GPs:
I think if he is fit in time he will do both GPs, if he is fully back to training earlier in summer he will do Skate Canada + NHK, It will be quite convenient for him, no traveling , no jetlag, Canada-Japan- again Canada for GPF, so if his recovery goes well imo Skate Canada will have edge over other GPs. If his preparations are a bit late I will go for NHK as first GP and TDF for second ,as GP France is last, 6 th GP this year.
If he is not fully recovered by early August he will skip GPs and will come back by Nationals. This is my speculation of course.
Anyway, if everything is nice and smooth he will be lock for NHK and SC has an edge over others, TDF being second option.
There were rumors that famous Didier ,French fed president is bragging with people he will have Hanyu at TDF , I have seen post on other forum.. so let's see

For this season, I hope he picks some modern music he really loves for his programs. He's freeeeeee from the pressure of medals and other pedestrian achievements, now.

It would be nice, I really want him to do something with more tempo, jazz would be nice...
I get the impression he mostly only listen to japanese artist, and language is a problem for people to get into a program IMO

This is actually why I brought up his medals. He doesn't have to care anymore. He has all the achievements he needs. He can just not care about the judges' "preferences" anymore. His gigantic fan base will always be there, and he could introduce his favourite songs to them. He might pick up even more fans!

His favourite band "One OK Rock" does a lot of English lyrics, with a very good accent :agree:, so I think it won't be a communication problem if he chooses one of their songs.

Don´t know, I´m on the edge and It will depend on the song.
I like JPOP but don´t know if it is music for skate... I guess it will depend on what he wants to do...
SO far he has done a international song (Chopin, Prince) with Japanese music or japanese created music (SEIMEI, Hope and Legacy). I guess this is a good balance, and sticking to music with out lyrics in his "japanese" number helps him connect...
But I would have to see what he choose..

JOC decided to hold the monthly seminar for the athletes aiming for Tokyo Olympics of 2020. The instructors are the Olympic medalists and their coaches, and Yuzuru is one of the candidates along with Kosuke Kitajima and Kei Nishikori. (Nao Kodaira will be the instructor of the seminar in May.)

https://twitter.com/axelsandwich/status/974636594203385858 Chinese reporter talks about Yuzu at length...translated by kind fans. :luv17:
Mura is always the gentle big brother figure in Yuzuru's skating life- I remember he was the one who invited Yuzuru to his practice rink to skate after the earthquake, and they also share an interest in earphones! I imagine Yuzuru talking non-stop in fast speed about the headphones and Mura just nodding kindly along? 
He will be missed.
Aren't we missing a much anticipated, briefly promised jazz program? Was it supposed to be choreographed by Jeff? Can't remember what happened to it. I would love to see it comes now.

It's adorable and makes no sense other than the winky face. This is typical Japanese spelling.

haha, yes, he is busy and I think we'll get his updates until June at least, which I had expected since he had won a medal. He is injured but it is not like he is not able to walk, so he has to attend many events in Japan. I hope he is going to enjoy them as much as he can
I'm really glad Yuzuru himself brings ideas to his show and I repeat that I am so happy he (his show) has official account, I just feel the connection with him. (and doesn't mean I want him to have individual account though)
a fan's drawing.
