https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=16&v=yGzDH_FiuYc TSN broadcast of Yuzu's Exhibition and a bit of Tracy and Rod recapping the event. :luv17:

Thank you very much, the adjectives they are using for him are right on the point, "The Ali of the skating world". And, they talk about a skater that "would be better retired already"

Thank you! Simply wonderful... Yuzuru gives everything he can in every performance: competition or gala or show, fighting for a place or (as here) clear and undisputed leader, he never takes it easy or complacently, always tries to give the audience everything, show them what they mean to him. And then folk wonder why he is so loved...

Love the Tracy's comment at Yuzuru's ending pose :luv17:

Hearing these commentaries from the world, it is almost funny for me Japanese commentators have never mentioned Yuzuru as GOAT, rock star or super star if I remember correctly I think it is mostly cultural thing and I don't care that much, but after all Yuzuru's great achievements, I am kind of curious who will be the brave commentator says that in their broadcast. (probably no one )

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGWWzYUlGIE&feature=youtu.be Olympic Channel posted Yuzu's interview in Skate Canada on Youtube.
I think this was posted before as a link to the Olympic Channel website, but the video wouldn't display. So here it is, finally. Subtitles in English.

We're still hanging in there, till NHK.
So here's a throwback to a long ago NHK interview with Keiji and Ryuju, in which Yuzu was looking so eager just outside the camera veiwfinder that the MC told him to join the interview.

This year, Sota and Koshiro will be there and I hope to see some fun interactions between them as well.

Akiko: Who was the most popular (when they were younger)?

Yuzuru: I think Fei was, Hino-san was, definitely.

Rujyu: No, no. It was Keiji.

Keiji: Umm, maybe Yuzu was.

All we want is for him to be happy and satisfied and have fun (and watching him having fun is fun in itself, the dear boy being what he is )

When the men competition is not as heated as before, you keep missing his magic on ice!

Oh wow. While a part of my heart still belongs to last year's Origin costume, his does look positively unearthly in this year's...

(It's been what, two weeks? I miss him)

I think he’s the only skater that wears velvet pants :dance2:

We're all waiting for something like the Purple Pants again, though....

I don't know if this was shared before, but in Yuzu's practice at Skate Canada, before his run-through, you can see the 6 minute warm up and Ted and his co-host comment on the men. They are amazed by Yuzu's personality and how magnetic it is for everyone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lqu_ttSKfcA

Here's a promo video from NHK with Yuzu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_DTJQDSePE
When he says he'd rather quit then not be able to meet our expectations, I wanted to cry.
He feels he must become strong enough that no one can beat him if he skates without mistakes, he wants to become stronger and stronger.

Hi guys. I am thinking of going to Montreal Worlds next year to see Yuzu. Do you think they might have tickets until February? Because if Yuzu decides to go to 4CC, I might just go to Korea because it's cheaper than Canada.

Or I might just go to Montreal instead

What are the chances of Yuzu going to 4CC this season? What are the chances of Nathan going as well? If Nathan goes, I feel Yuzu would want to go to 4CC

I have non-YouTube links for Yuzu-related clips from TSN's coverage of the SCI Men Free Skate, and the videos I've obtained are at 59 frames per second (higher frame rate = smoother graphics).

I'm looking at the event calendar and NHK/GPF/Nationals are so packed close together, I'm guessing Yuzu might skip 4CC in Australia.
-Just a guess of course.

Waaaaaahhhh!! Come on Yuzu, you know you want to, we'll bring you koalas and quokkas to cuddle!!!

Counting the days until we see him again.
Its good he has enough rest until the next competition. I strongly believe everything will be OK.

Upcoming 2019/20 4CC is in Korea, 4CC in Australia is the year after. And I hope he comes Sydney, this may be the only chance we ever get to hold a skating event in ten years, although of course his health and everything should still be first priority
