Yuzuru will perform in all FOI shows.

And across the skating world there is joy and relief..... but I hope he will take it easy, be gentle with that precious ankle. Just to see him skate will be more than enough for the fans - and the TV audience!

I love how the comments are all thrilled, but also begging Yuzu to be careful to take it easy... like us, they are eager to see him but also want him to be well and safe. It's sweet :luv17:

Also, he's now front and centre on the poster and website... lovely pictures.

I do hope we get at least some of the shows streamed from Japan, especially Sendai which will be so so special....
 
I think it was already announced Sendai, Makuhari, Kobe will be broadcasted, I wouldn't be surprised Toyama gets broadcast too
 
I confess I am finally stress-free right now :laugh: I will take his participation as a good sign of him getting better enough for doing the shows and hope he is able to have good time as much as we do :) Wishing for his health during the whole tour :pray:

Only my concern is Toshi's vocal, the ballads by X Japan might work for figure skating, but I am not sure about other types of their song :shock2:
 
I am happy to know that he is better but like other is saying, I hope he take it easy and he won’t be overly excited now that he’s injury free. Btw, will the show be stream live?

As far as I know, we haven't heard of the live stream so far. The first broadcast will be Makuhari show from 21:00 on May 27 by BS Asahi.

Argh don't mention the singers, now you getting me scared :laugh: at least there is the violinist...

I'm too busy wondering what our Overlord will be wearing.... last year Doryzu was a shock because I was fairly inexperienced and for a little while I thought that was going to be one of his competition outfits :jaw: But I did like the others...


ps - and just to remind us, I saw this tweet of his various FOI outfits...

Whilst on the topic of Yuzu inspiring artists, after musicians and painters, most Hanyu fans already heard of the US ballet troupe company doing a Yuzu tribute performance. Now there is an interview. I love how the company's owner mentioned she mistake him for a ballet dancer the first time she saw him, goes to show how perfect and beautiful his posture is in Chopin:

“When I saw Yuzu skate in Pyeongchang, I thought he must be an accomplished ballet dancer who also skates,” Valdez stated. “That was my first assumption, just based on his port de bras (carriage of the arms), carriage of the body. He moves like a ballet dancer. I thought he was classically trained. It doesn’t matter, he is natural, so it’s beautiful. The carriage and the way he carves the space with his arms as he skates, it’s just very good ballet,” Valdez commented. “His musicality, he makes sure his arms are moving at the right place just on the note.

That ballet tribute was so beautiful.:love: Ms. Valdez also said that Yuzuru's skating speaks to her soul. I can identify with that. :) I always thought this quote is so appropriate for Yuzuru: "He is indeed the true enchanter, whose spell operates, not upon the senses, but upon the imagination and the heart." Written by Washington Irving about another genius, William Shakespeare

It will be Mother's Day tomorrow in my country, so I'd like to pay tribute to all mothers in the Yuzuru fandom, which means all of us who are appreciative and fiercely protective of our Yuzu. I believe in her own way, Yumi (IIRC her name) is every bit as remarkable as her son, supporting and safeguarding him but letting him forge his own path. In this connection I recall what Yuzuru said about his fans being more ecstatic at his triumphs and suffering his pains more than him. Perhaps he said this because this may be how his mother feels.
 
Wow ! X Japan are a monumental group like Led Zeppelin or Rolling Stones, I'm so impressed!Forever love or Endless rain would be perfect for Yuzu , legends on the stage :love::love::love:
 
Delighted that we'll be seeing Yuzu at all the FAOI shows. I had given up hope. It's wonderful news to come home to after a long trip.:cheer:

Only the best for the High Lord of Extra... :luv17:

Seriously, we are going to fret ourselves silly over him and his precious ankles. At least this way, we get to see him while we fret.

I agree, I think Yuzu became this amazing person because he has the most remarkable mother, parents. How many skating parents tried to push both themselves and the siblings into the limelight? or control or interferes with their child's career? Given how expensive training is, it is totally understandable parents wish to get something back, however, Yuzu's parents never exhibit these traits despite they too were once heavily in debt. Even now, no one knows what Yuzu's dad and sister look like. Instead Yuzu has mentioned many times his mum teaches him to be always grateful, which he takes to heart by paying tributes to people, always thanking everything, even the ice :laugh: This is part of the reason Yuzu can reach out to more fans than usual.... people feel his sincerity and gratitude for being able to skate, as engraved by his mother. So thank you and happy mother's day to Yumi-san :hap10:
 
This is great news for the drought.
Happy Mother's day to the Mom's here and also to you Moms.
Yuzu is such an effective ambassador to the "Thank you Mom" campaign. :love:

Just to clarify, it's probably going to be only a tiny clip of Yuzu on a talk show, which will cover various topics, so he won't be there in person I think.
