Very good news clips of Yuzuru at the age of 12, you can watch full version with the link in the tweet. Yuzuru won in the novice so was able to compete in Junior. He was in the 7th after SP but skated clean in FS, and won bronze medal overall (he won FS). There was regulation that the top 3 skaters could compete in Japanese nationals, but Yuzuru couldn't because of the age limitation. He is adorable :luv17:

Just got around to watching this, thanks for posting!

It never ceases to amaze me how eloquent Yuzu has been from such a young age. :luv17:
 
Yes, it seems it is an ad for xylitol "muscat grapes", new product released on October 16. I hope we'll have new CM and shooting footage soon :)

Oooh I’m looking forward to this. Would definitely help me get through the wait for Helsinki. Three more weeks!

Agreed, it's really time for some of his ads to appear (I want Yuzu and chocolate! now!) Even when they're a bit odd to western eyes, they are adorable.... and that costume looks faaaaaabulous (better than most of the on-ice ones for skaters this year!)

Just curious during aci 2018 I didn't notice Akira Kikuchi-san.
He will be at the GP right?

Well, we don't actually know, I guess, but I hope it was just something minor that kept him away. I love watching him and Brian (and Tracey and Ghislain) at the boards.

I’m curious too. Kikuchi-san usually films Yuzuru doing his programs during competition so Yuzuru can analyze later what he did wrong and so forth. Maybe he will come later during GP ...
 
Excited for Helsinki.
I wonder if Yuzu will tweak his programmes?
And question in the SP only 1 jump combination will have a 10% bonus?
So it means if you have high GOE at the first half you might not really need it at the 2nd half?
 
There will be special live TV program for GPS tonight, it is from 19:00 to 21:00 on this site. The channel is "Abema Special" so I think it is in the top row. Oda and Honda are the guests and will talk about GPS and the skaters, the information says there will be Yuzuru's close coverage.

I hope it won't be geoblocked :pray:

Even if it is, the Yuzu (and Shoma) bits will be uploaded fairly fast - okay, and then maybe taken down in the usual online minuet, but with any luck...
 
Showing Yuzu's new SP, Oda says he would have given his 3A more GOE. But maybe it needed more flow.
Oda says he's seen Yuzu even better, though this is beautiful, he knows Yuzu can do even more.

He says that Yuzu's musicality is on point, even at the beginning of the season, because he's listened to this music watching Johnny's programs so many times.

Honda and Oda talk about the difference in the curve of the entry for the 4S, they like this change. They notice that he's further challenging himself with these changes in his entries.

They say that some skaters can only jump at one point in the rink, or only a certain entrance to a jump will do, but Yuzu is always changing his entries and places in the rink in which he jumps. Amazing.

Now they are taking a peak behind the curtain to see Yuzu's preparation for competition!

Oda says he personally would overdo the warm up so he would try to just listen to music and stretch.

Honda says he used to be able to do quads on the ground.

Honda says that in the warm up, the first jump is to feel, and the second jump is to revise.

Kozuka says he would be interested in the earlier skaters performance. --Shows clip of Evgenia plugging her ears so that she would not hear the scores.

Kozuka says that he thinks a 4A is possible for Yuzu, he thinks he will do it. Oda's most anticipated program is Yuzu's origin, he wants to see how it will turn out. ALL of the guys say that Spins are TOUGH you can't breathe while you do them.

Who has the most muscles in skating. Oda -brian joubert Honda- Elvis Stojko!
