My 10th Yuzuversary

It's getting late here and I'm very tired from work but tumblr is the last place I have left on my list to post, so a quick little blurb and then off to relax...

10 years ago today, I was sitting on my couch when Yuzu all of a sudden appeared on my TV screen, and immediately I was hooked. I was just as blown away by his performance then as I am now. I fell in the swamp fast, and I've been real deep in it almost since day 1.

It hasn't been easy the last 10 years, but for every setback and difficult time there have been a million smiles and laughs and cheery moments to brighten up the lonely darkness of the night sky or hug my heart warmly and tightly like it so desperately needs.

I owe a lot to Yuzu. I've truly done a lot of growing with this guy present in my life, and I owe a lot of where I am in life right now to him. Truly don't think I'd be here like this if it weren't for all the ways he's impacted my life.

Off to celebrate with a Ghana treat, but thank you, Yuzu, for everything these past 10 years. Here's to so many more years of happiness and great memories 💕

[hanyuninare]

Happy birthday, Yuzu!

Thank you so much for giving us all so many reasons to laugh and smile and feel magic in the world. Thank you for shining light in my life, especially in times like this where sunshine doesn't come through my window.

I hope that 29 brings you all the happiness that 28 couldn't - I hope the world is kind to you, because you deserve it. The world feels better when you're healthy, happy, and safe, and I will continue to wish all those things for you.

Happy birthday, sweet boy. May your light never fade, and may we be a light to you, too 💕

My 9th Yuzuversary

Every year without fail I log back on here after a long hiatus to commemorate this very special day.

It's been 9 years since I first found out who Yuzu was, and since I've already said every sappy thing that can be said about that, I figured this is all that's left to say:

how it started:

how it's going:

[hanyuninare]

Logging on for the first time in idek how long for our special boy's special day~

A lot happened during 27, but the fact that Prologue was in there and I got to go (and see my two favorite flower EXs live) brings me a lot of joy. Seeing him live for the first time in 6 and a half years, and seeing HYK specifically, gave me a lot of hope that I really, really needed at the time.

He's always doing that - shining light and bringing hope. I'm very very thankful for that. I hope he continues to shine bright and stay good and kind and wonderful just like he's always been.

Happy birthday, dear Yuzu. Wishing you health, happiness, safety, and a wonderful year of dreams coming true. Thank you for everything 💕

Dear tumblr, I'd like you to meet Yuzuru Hanyu (again)

You first met him in 2014 when he was a 19-year-old cutie pie

(cr: Sankei)

Now he's a 27-year-old man and he's still gorgeous

(cr: 坂本清)

And his skating has also improved since he won his second straight Olympic gold in 2018!

For example, here's his Short Program for this season, where he does only SIX crossovers (a basic skating move for traveling) and spends the rest of the time doing complex turns to make his way across the ice:

And his Free Program is an absolute god-tier masterpiece:

(He just hasn't stopped growing!! Just when you think he can't get better, he gets even more amazing)

Since you last saw him in 2018, he's been in hot chocolate commercials,

gum commercials,

a commercial for a pharmaceutical company,

commercials for the skincare line Sekkisei (including this special promotional video for their more sustainable "Save the Blue" line),

and commercials for his main sponsor, All Nippon Airways

(He's been really busy!)

He's also planning to attempt the NEVER-BEFORE LANDED QUADRUPLE AXEL at these Games!!

You can see his first attempt at doing it in competition in his Free Program at the 2021 Japanese National Championships (attached above).

He's also done some other fun programs since the 2018 Olympics, like:

Let Me Entertain You

and Haru yo, Koi

Besides skating, he's also continued to be an advocate for disaster relief and awareness. He has participated in the annual 24HR TV charity program for multiple years, and he has also helped organize a traveling exhibition centered around his and others' experiences during the March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami.

(visit the website here!)

He's also still best friends with Winnie the Pooh, and even has a special "Yuzu Pooh" tissue box from the Japanese Disney Store (this Pooh has curly fur and is holding a plush yuzu/citron fruit!!!)

For the latest interview translations and information, you can follow @AxelWithWings on Twitter - a trusted and dedicated group of fans who work hard to help all fans understand Yuzu even better~

There's also this interview he did with CBC a couple years ago. It's one of my favorite interviews and honestly one of the best introductions to who Yuzu is as a skater and a person:

He's still the kind and amazing guy you all met for the first time in Sochi, so we hope you enjoy watching him again!!

(PS - he also likes BTS, so Army, he's your guy ;) )

My 8th Yuzuversary

February 6th is a very special day for me - it's the anniversary of the first time I ever saw Yuzu at the Sochi Team Event (which I lovingly call my "Yuzuversary").

I try to celebrate somehow every year, so this year I took an embroidery project family photo 💕

Me 8 years ago never would've thought we'd be here. No part of this road has been easy, but there have been so many wonderful, amazing, over-the-moon moments that make it all worth it. Sometimes it's a Super Slam and sometimes it's just a video smiling and waving and thanking us for our support.

I've gushed about this before but I know I've experienced a lot of things because I watched Yuzu skate at the team event in Sochi - I've sung Hana wa Saku at different concerts, I met you all, and I graduated college with a Yuzu quote on my cap and the Swanyu scrunchie on my wrist.

Nothing's been easy but I am so very thankful I've gotten to support him all these years. I wouldn't trade that day for anything. As long as he is good and kind, I'll be cheering him on for whatever he does from wherever I am.

Thank you for your kindness and for the hope, strength, and comfort you've given me over the years. May you stay healthy, happy, and safe, and may these Games be successful and wonderful for you 💕💕💕

Yuzuru Hanyu @ Japanese Nationals 2021

[yuzuangel]

Congratulations for winning your sixth Japanese National title, Yuzu! 🥳 

What an absolutely wonderful performance it was! Yuzu daringly attempted a 4A and stayed on his feet. Even more amazing, he then delivered a clean FP with every beautiful element executed in perfection! 🥰 

Yuzu is a better skater than ever! Throughout the years, he has constantly improved and challenged himself and his skating. His jumps are higher quality and more effortless than ever. 🙏

What an inspiration he is! What a champion he is. What a king he is!!! 👑

[hanyusan]

This is a program that will make people think, Only Yuzuru Hanyu can skate this program.

FanyuGoldenWeek Day 2: Favourite Achievement

Yuzuru Hanyu whole career is the best achievement.

He brought perfection of technique for the elements that already existed and at a point in history of FS were has been fastly lost to imitations of right technique. 

Has achieved keep this perfection of the elements during the “quad evolution” that he named, and at which he has been the principal instigator and leader for near a decade. Right now his insistence in the infamous 4A keeps moving the sport story of FS. 

He has added the quad loop and complex elements in combinations.

He stopped the discussion about technique versus artistique, because he was able to unite both to bring a sense of complexity and complementarity.

His capability of mantain the pace of work participating in many competitions at same time, again for nearly a decade, without lose quality is astounding and prove of his inhuman humanity. 

He is in fact a rebel that is defying the predjudice of age and at his 26 years old, after leave behind generations of skaters still continues be in the head during the most demanding era of FS.

Breaking the rules of the past, he brought a positive enviroment of sportmanship, that continues like an example in and outside the ice.

His ethic, personal and of work is inspirational and an example.

He skyrocketed the popularity of FS at worldwide level, giving a possibility in a moment when the sport is giving last kicks and losing the battle against the disaparition.
