There is a new 12 part interview series with Yuzu done by Shigesato Itoi. Start today 1st March 2024
Shigesato Itoi is the creator of the game MOTHER that Yuzu likes to play.
The interviews are available in Japanese, English and Chinese on this website. It's free! Part 1 is already published.
The first interview is about Yuzu's skating idols and how Johnny Weir pointed Shigesato Itoi's attention to Yuzu at a young age. It also mentions Shigesato Itoi's Tweet from 2019 about Yuzu.
Please excuse me while I have a mental breakdown over this glorious costume.
Now let me preface this by saying that there are exactly two male figure skaters which I have adored and Yuzu was the second one.
The first was actually Johnny Weir and this particular costume with its half skirt, it’s asymmetrical pronounced shoulder, it’s dark ornate vibe and so much about it’s presentation really reminds me of JW. (Think poker face / Bad Romance sorta gala programs). But so so much better! So much more polished(?) and unique.
I just love it so much and I would happily sell my soul to Yuzuru or Satomi idc. It is everything I could have ever imagined for him.
Introduction and rondo capriccioso. Yuzu always wanted skate to this piece of music. He adored Johnny’s weir version from 2004/05. Finally he decides skate to rondo capriccioso in his 3rd olympic season (piano version) 🤍
Johnny’s programs for season 2004/05 were Rondo Capriccioso and Otõnal
just realized all my fave skating elements look… similar…
yulia lipnitskaya’s layback spin and spiral
sasha cohen’s layback spin and spiral
yuna kim’s ina bauer and catch foot layback spin
johnny weir’s spider lunge
and alexandra trusova’s unparalleled cantilever (which she sometimes skates with her hair loose in what appears to be a very effective dominance display)
unrelated addendum: newly obsessed with Ilia Malinin’s quad Lutz entry
I loooove this song! @paidatonriehuja and Finland is bringing the FUN to Eurovision, and I'm going crazy! 2 days left, who will you vote for? #eurovision #chachacha #fairytale #alexanderrybak #violin

Have you seen that Johnny Weir is back to thirsting over Sid? 😳👌🏽
oh my god laughing. for background, in 2018 johnny went down a thirst spiral starting with this:
then he started… researching sid and posting about him on instagram and twitter (also he went through the 87foundation insta and started liking ancient photos)
