Rook Info Compilation part 10: Positivity Beauty (pt1)
Trey says that he doesn’t think he has ever seen Rook in a bad mood, and Rook does seem to be very positive in general: he compliments Riddle on engulfing a ghost in flames (and ruining their plans to save Idia) by saying he is sure even the ghost himself is giving a standing ovation (Ace follows with, “Most definitely not”).
He later encourages a rescued Idia with a “sappy pep talk” that Idia does not appreciate, assuring him that someone wonderful awaits Idia in the future.
Rook also encourages Ortho during Spectral Soiree and compliments members of Pomefiore on their acting during Halloween, despite how Vil is not impressed.
Rook is Jade’s judge for the Culinary Crucible and Jade says that while he knows that Rook would react positively to anything that he presents, he would still like to impress him.
Jade then prepares a dish for him that paralyzes Rook’s tongue with mushrooms that were not a part of the original recipe. Despite the surprise Rook says that it was “quite the novel experience,” he could have it for every meal and defends Jade to the ghost chef.
For Rook’s own Culinary Crucible he spends a lot of the time watching something besides his oven, to the ghost chef’s confusion.
It is revealed that he was watching Cater and basking in the beauty of Cater exerting such effort throughout the lesson, which was also the reason he joined the course.
Rook compliments every person who auditions for the VDC in Book 5, awarding everyone full marks.
Epel says that Rook is always showering people with compliments, and when Ace says “compliments aren’t that flattering when the person’s tossing ‘em out left and right” Rook says, “The world is filled with beautiful things, and I simply love each and every one of them.”
Rook also compliments Azul during Glorious Masquerade, saying that his singing was pitch perfect from their very first practice and only proceeded to improve.
Azul seems unnerved by Rook’s ability to deduce what he was working on merely by listening during rehearsals and asks him to hold off on further compliments, sliding across the screen and away from Rook. (Azul might be uncomfortable with excessive praise in general.)
Rook is often referring to things are beautiful, including: Deuce’s devotion to Riddle, a photograph he takes for a visitor during Halloween, Ortho’s meteor shower during Wish Upon a Star, an angry Riddle, Idia’s passion for a horror movie, the Mirror Chamber and Vil’s fans.
Rook is big on beauty, with his wish in the Wish Upon a Star event being “to drink in every last bit of beauty in the world,” as he wants “to see all the beauty the world has to offer, and to grasp its essence.”
During Port Fest Ruggie is surprised to learn that Rook cannot play any instruments and Rook explains, “I love few things more than beautiful art. I adore music, of course, and have attended many concerts. However, I have little interest in playing instruments myself. I have no need, you see, as merely listening to skilled performers is enough to fill my hearts and then some.”
Rook says he holds beauty in the highest regard, but his conception of it “isn’t based solely on appearance.”

ʀʜᴀᴇɴʏʀᴀ & ᴀʟɪᴄᴇɴᴛ'ꜱ ʙᴀɴᴅ ʜᴇᴀᴅᴄᴀɴᴏɴꜱ
linked to jessie (jace)'s girl ff pt1 pt2
– so it originally started when they were still in school at about 13/14 so year 8 for a talent show
– they made pop-punk themed songs but the lyrics are quite insightful when you look into them
– they called it 'Weirwood' to honour Rhaenyra and Alicent's favourite hidden meetup spot behind the school
– Alicent wrote the lyrics to their songs, it's one of the only times she felt like she could truly express herself, and played the keyboard (she likes it especially because it keeps her hands busy so she'll stop picking at them so much when she's anxious she can drum her fingers against her leg as if thinking up sheet music)
– Rhaenyra helped brand themselves as she had the high confidence and 'star presence' but she also does vocals and electric guitar
– also her uncle Daemon was also in a band and helped them out
when they were stuck on something
– the band included other members such as Laena on drums, Laenor on electric guitar and Criston on bass guitar (he also helped on vocals sometimes)
– Rhaenyra starts calling their fans 'Zaldrīzes' which means 'Dragons' in Rhaenyra's mother tongue and it catches on
– Rhaenyra and Criston hooked up but broke things off when Rhaenyra told him she just wanted to keep things casual
– when Alicent found out her best friend was keeping this from her, she completely flipped out because she didn't approve of making things complicated with bandmates
– Rhaenyra chased after Alicent for a few years but always got
rejected because Alicent didn't want to mix relationship drama
with business decisions, she thought it was unethical
– this blew up into a huge fight which the tabloids have since dubbed 'The Dance of The Dragons' because when the band split, the separated bands moved to different agencies which conveniently both were known for undertaking dancers 'The Greens' stayed with 'The Red Keep' agency while 'The Blacks' moved to one called 'Dragonstone'
– 'The Greens' rebranded and took on Larys Strong while 'The Blacks' took on his brother Harwin Strong
– Neither band does particularly well afterward but the drama between them is always the centre off attention when they attend the same events, they still have some very dedicated fanbases
– at first they make remarks about one another but soon they grow out of it and rekindle
– they get back together for songs sometimes until another thread snaps and they fight again
– they know it will never be the same so they settle for being civil with one another
– very hot and cold
– at an award ceremony, every tabloid covers how Rhaenyra arrives without her signature black in favour of emerald green and Alicent arrives instead of her signature green in coal black
– there are many photos snapped of Rhaenyra and Alicent laughing the night away and sticking close together after they're seated at close tables next to each other
– eventually both bands separate but once their kids show interest in their teen years they are very willing to help and so the next generation take over their respective parents' band

i dont know if yall are just accepting anything for louis or yall for real thinking 5sos promo are okay to louis!! I mean it in a nice way but 5sos are no way near louis they didnt came from the same level of fame they dont have a fraction of his fanbase or his potintial bmg is so wrong choice tth is the bare minimum for any artist in louis level bmg cant even give him that or major show performances or major award show invitations or anything any artist his level has pt1
Louis is bmg biggest artist because they cant deal with someone in louis size they are simply dont have the recources yall confusing these things as harry styles treatment but they are not any artist in louis level of fame and some who are alot less get these things but even louis own fandom dont think this is supposed to be the normal for him but are happy to have what 5sos have even if it wont help louis expand or grow at all im just so mad i really need him with a major lable he derves it pt2
5SOS was with Warner and they switched labels to BMG. 5SOS played BBC Live Lounge. 5SOS got an in-depth Rolling Stone profile. Their music videos got RS behind-the-scenes treatment. Their songs were sent to radio via AllAccess and promoted. Billboard covered their singles releases positively. Their label switch was reported in Variety. Their VMA win was written up in Variety.
So… none of these things happened for Louis. Ever. Sony controlled Syco for the entirety of Louis’ solo career. He was with Epic — a major Sony subsidiary, and then Arista. Tell me again how solo Louies are confused?

Otoñal by Raúl di Blasio. Ice watercolor of Yuzuru Hanyu.
Yuzuru Hanyu’s 2018/2019 season SP analysis by Yulena translation.
Source: pt1, pt2.
“The origins of my skating come from Russia. For that reason, I want very much to deliver a strong performance here. Both tomorrow’s and today’s programs have a connection to Russia. [Tatiana] Tarasova helped to choreograph the original “Otoñal” program. I am very grateful to the person who created the choreography and watched me standing, and also [Natalia] Bestemianova and [Igor] Bobrin, who had helped me with choreography for the “Romeo and Juliet” program. I am overwhelmed with emotions just because such people have awarded me with standing ovation. I saw Tarasova as I approached the jump, and Bobrin was in the guest seat of the arena clapping on his feet. Thank you very much” ©
– interview after the SP at Rostelecom Cup 2018
Musical arrangement of the 2018/2019 season’s short program for two-time Olympic champion Yuzuru Hanyu is one of the piano piece by Raúl Di Blasio. Both of his programs this season go back to his origins and the starting point of Yuzuru’s career, to his childhood dreams. They are also an immense tribute to the skaters he’s considered his idols since his early days - Johnny Weir and Evgeni Plushenko.
According to Yuzuru’s own words Johnny Weir’s “Otoñal” is one of the programs that left the greatest impressions on him in his skating life.
“The arm positions during spins, the softness of expressions, the way to pick up nuances and move to music, landing positions and so on, it was the music of the programme that led me to perform with attention to each of these details.”
– Public practice in Toronto, 30.08.2018
Having seen Johnny’s performance as a child Yuzuru listened to this music while imitating his idol and dreamed of creating his own program.
“I was stunned by his neutral androgynous beauty that he as a man could present, that was his main charm. At that time, I couldn’t see and evaluate jumps by GOE right away, but the smoothness on the landings, beautiful positions on the exits, precision of jumps placement to the music – all that was made meticulously. First of all the landing. And that smoothness. Of course, all those things captured my attention. I clearly remember how I wanted to jump and skate just like that.”
– Public practice in Toronto, 30.08.2018
The choreographer for the new short program once again was Jeffrey Buttle. From Brian Orsers’ book “Team Brian”:
"Yuzuru has incredible creative chemistry with Jeffrey Buttle and Shae-Lynn Bourne. You may say that it eould be hard for him to work with anyone other than those two. Yuzuru has his own jump entries that fit the way he moves, and comfortable timing of choreography is very important for him. Even his quads flow out of steps, he keeps an image of the perfect form in terms if speed, that step and curve angle in his head. He needs a choreographer who could share his attention to details, so unique for the skater of his level.”
When Jeffrey learnt the name of the composition he first of all ask about Yuzuru’s associations with the music. He answered: “Something like reflection.” “Otoñal” means “autumnal” in Spanish. Autumn as a memory from the past and reflection on the passing time, dreams and origins. That was the chosen theme for the choreography of the program, from the starting to final poses.
“And for him, Autumn is sort of a time of the year for reflection and about looking back. Almost a time of nostalgia? And I think it was so appropriate given what he accomplished and everything that happened last year. Choreography itself begins with… for me when I think of nostalgia, I think of looking through an old family photo album, so the very first movement is him opening that album.”
– Jeffrey Buttle, interview after Public practice in Toronto 30.08.2018
The main idea of the composition lies in the travel in time and calling (обращении к ) to the personal story in figure skating. In the starting pose according to the Jeffrey’s idea Yuzuru opens the album with memories of the past. And so the skating choreography, musical and compositional structures of the program, distribution of the elements all go back to the origins and show great respect to the people that had influenced Yuzuru’s path.
The content of the program includes two quad jumps, one executed in the combinayion wioth the triple toe loop and a triple axel: 4S, 3A // 4T+3T, FCSp, CSSp, StSq, CCoSp.
The choreographic structure (composition) of the program was evolving during the first three competitions of the season.
1. The structure of the program has been changed that stood out as uncommon and unusuala and uncharacteristic for Yuzuru positioning of all the jumping passes back-to-back in the single block. That was a decision taken by Yuzuru and Jeffrey together because that distribution would allow to incorporate jumping and not-jumping elements (step sequence and spins) most harmonically in the musical structure. The jumps from the entry to the exit are executed one after another (bam-bam-bam ©), then comes a soft musical transition to two spins and the emotional explosion of the step sequence at the end of the program. “[...] Stillness versus the tempestuousness of the steps.” ©
In the first half of the program with gentle subtle music the jumps are done effortlessly softly and smoothly, when the emotions are expressed with the second half via the spins and sequence.
Originally the center element of the program – 4T+3T combination – was planned in the first half. But “it is all meaningless unless it allows to win.” © So after the very first competition of the season (ACI 2018) sports competitiveness and desire to win took over, and the combination was moved to the second half of the program.
This change brought corrections to the original choreography and composition: the entry to the 4S became more complex, the transition between two spins and sequence changed, and new skating transitions were added between the 3A and the 4T+3T entry. Before the Rostelecom Cup 2018 the entry to the triple axel also changed and new transitions between triple axel and combo were added once again.
Despite the move of the combo to the second half the jumping passes remained in one block that the most intricate skating choreography in between the elements and on the entries/exits mode possible. The notorious strategy of Yuzuru is based on the idea that the jumps are one of the performance parts. If they are done perfectly the program gains better fluidity and continuity of the movement from one element to another, and seems complete. More than that, Yuzuru is set to present the program in such a manner that the sound of the take-off and the landing themselves would enhance the выразительность of the quite musical intonations.
“Also, the sound — shu! —of the edge when taking off, the sound — pa! — of the landing. I want to make [this program] such that even these sounds can be felt, as a part of the expression.”
– interview for Figure Skating Life vol 15 (10.10.2018)
2. Positions of the jumps and spins changed in the pattern of the program, with the latter becoming more multidimentional. The quad salchow (together with the trajectory of the entry) have been moved to the right part of the rink. Compared to the previous short program (Chopin Ballade №1) the triple axel and the combination placement changed. Th eboloved axel now is executed on the trajectory along the long board of the judging panel with additional chic, the combo went from right to the left side from the judges’ perspective. The camel spin went to the left side, the sit spin with the change of foot – very close to the left short board, and the final spin – to the center of the ice rink.
3. Due to the placement changes after the ACI there also came the changes in the structure of the step sequence, it became shorted by 4s and the complicated steps and turns counting to the levels of difficulty became more “packed” together.
4. Some of the difficult variations of the basic positions in the sit spin and the combination spin counting to the levels of the corresponding spins were changed. With that the variations are not just executed to earn the levels but also to choreographically enhance the interpretation of the music with precise and flashy accents with hands movements. The distinguishing qualities of Yuzuru’s programs is the prevailing skating choreography as the principal mean of interpretation; the continuous flow with various connecting elements and steps contributes to the wholeness and creates multiple dimension to the composition. This is accompanied with the special choreography of diverse upper body and arm movements. And the unity of both the skating transitions and the space choreography throughout the program makes the unity of the music and the skater’s performance stand out. It expresses the intonations and reflects the changes oh the tempo and the nuances of the phrasing. .
With the changes of the composition after the first competition came the changes of the arrangement of the music.
Right after the ACI 2018 Yuzu contacted sound producer Keiji Yano asking him to make corrections to Otoñal for the purpose of moving the combo. It is a known story that Yano-san has rearranged the track for SEIMEI more than 30 times following Yuzuru’s requests. This time he also confessed: “His orders were precise as usual. This time too, [his instructions] were detailed, as always. It was a test of my skills.” At the beginning of October Yuzuru received the new arrangement and started to training according to it.
Musical structure of the program and its collaboration with the composition:
Intro
(from the starting pose to the beginning of the combo entry (transitions – entry – 4S - exit – transitions – entry – 3A – exit – transitions).
The program starts with some low piano harmonies turning into gentle and quite intonations at the beginning of the new phrase. This transition is choreographically translated with Ina Bauer and highlighted by the smooth lines and movements of the skater. This part is based upon two melodic phrases (like nostalgia and look back into the past).
Development
(transitions – entry – 4T+3T – exit – FCSp – transitions – CSSp)
Transition between two musical parts is highlighted with a series of twizzles. The combo entry coincides with separated abrupt low accords. Emotional tone and intensity grow stronger throughout the whole entry and reach the highest point at the moment of combination with both jumps landed on the beats. The transition from exit to the camel spin separates the two musical phrases. The new one has a contrast of intonations. And the momentary transition evokes images of the grim autumn sky with simmering clouds suddenly broken by a ray of sunshine, of nature coming alive under this warm light. But surely “everyone will see something different” ©. The phrase ends with another set of low accords at the transition to the sit spin with change of foot.
Culmination
(StSq - CCoSp)
This is the most passionate and emotional musical part with strings introduction at the beginning of the StSq. The dynamism of the music increases and results in more energy and expanded scope of the movements during the step sequence execution. At the end of the sequence the strings die out and the final combination spin is set to the piano part that has a smooth transition to the ending pose and concludes the program in a beautiful way. All three music parts are intricately tied with the choreographic structure and create an integral image of the program, in which the music is not born by the fingertips on the piano keys but comes to life with the blades touch on the ice. Each musical phrase is accompanied with amazingly arranged choreographic accents.
The elements and skating transitions connection to the musical phrases comes as follows:
The starting pose with elegant turn of head to the side of extended arm as the call to the past and reminiscence of the bygone days.
The begining of the program consists of melody in five low separeted harmonies with piano accords. There is a turn on the first accord and a movement of both arms on the second harmony in the posing.
A LFO waltz three turn with accentuated lobe of the exit and a crossed step RBI/LBO on the beat (third accord), direction change forward, running step, chasse LFI/RFO and direction change right on the note (forth accord), lingering and accentuated crossover and two more crossovers on the final fifth harmony. Delicate and slightly reversed choreography of this part is connected to the laconism of the musical phrase. Then Yuzuru softly stands in the Ina Bauer (with elegant arms movement) that unites the first part to the second and also marks the beginning the solo 4S entry: accentuated waltz three turn LFO at the start of the phrase – backward power three turn RBO – inside spread eagle – RBO backward power three turn – 4S.
The element in the while fit the music phrase and in its length: a difficult entry to the jump, an exit after the landing and skating transitions right after are all executed in three measures of the musical phrase. The first measure starts with the entry steps and ends with soft and almost silent landing; the exit into counter - Ina Bauer for the second measure; skating transitions after the exit of the jump fit the third and final measure. Holding closer to the notes ©
The difficult exit from the landing lobe to the RBO counter (such exit from the quadruple jump in the only one in the field of men singles) with smooth transition into the inside Ina Bauer. Then comes direction change forward, LFO three-turn, LBI/RBI broad step with both arms movement on accent at the end of the measure. Softness of the piano sounds during transition to the Bauer is choreographically enhanced with graceful turn of the head and arms going down smoothly.
The accentuated crossover (with prolonged exit lobe), crossover, RBI/LBO chasse and to the fading sounds of the music Yuzuru goes into the outside spread eagle. This long SE set is executed with emphasis on the soft movement up of the head and the right arm that highlight the laconism and gentleness of barely audible sound on the verge of two musical phrases.
“He can make the most pregnant pause nothing moment be so memorable [...]”
– David Wilson, Japan TImes 21.08.2018
The beginning of the new musical phrase is marked with elegant change of edge in the spread eagle with arms softly going up on the note. The following skating transitions, difficult entry to the triple axel, the jump itself and the difficult entry are all in harmony with the musical structure: LBI/RBO chasse and accentuated RBO choctaw, change of foot, RFO/RFI change of edge, RFI swing mohawk, accentuated LBI/RBO chasse with right arm soft moving as if touching the piano keys and a crossover at the end of the measure.
The entry to the 3A fits the second measure of the phrase: RBO choctaw – RBO/LBI crossed step – LBI/LBO change of edge – LBO/RBI crossed step – LBO counter at the end. The jump has a difficult exit on the lobe of exit – RBO twizzle – RFI three-turn – mini-Bauer – that fits the extension of the musical rhyme. Holding closer to the notes ©
His triple axel is not just a jump. It’s art. An element perfectly integrated in the choreographic pattern of the program and presented as organic ending of the skating on the entry and natural premise to the skating on the exit. It is remarkable that the skating transition after the landing is executed in two motions with inartificial pause (on the three-turn between a twizzle and a Bauer) at the end of the phrase to the fading music. Such an absolute harmony in movements is hard to put into words. It is complete fusion with the music, when the rhyme of the steps and turns on the entry/exit and the jump itself matche the music beats.

The exit of the triple axel precedes a transition of steps and turns musically inserted in the additional measure: crossover, LBO choctaw, accentuated RFI bracket, RBO/RBI change of edge, RBI/LBI broad step going into posing, crossover. Smoothness of this transition execution set to the final musical phrase of the first part demonstrates excellent interplay of movements and blade and the music.
The second part starts with musical phrase of changing intonation that is choreographically expressed with a series of twizzles and skating transition: crossover with accentuates arm movements – LBO choctaw - crossover -Jackson (composition step). Musical tone changes with increase in intensity and accentuated piano accords coming in at the start of combination jump entry, the change marked with arms movement.
Skating transitions on the entry are following the increasing dynamics and executed in accordance with such. The combination itself takes a special place in the composition of the program; it highlights the intonations of the phrase precisely. Holding closer to the notes. ©
Direction change forward – LFO three-turn with great flow and body and free leg move on the exit – inside besti squat – crossover with direction change forward – LFO counter - LBO/RBI crossed step – direction change forward – LFO three-turn – 4T+3T.

This combination was executed [at Rostelecom Cup 2018] just ten meters away from me and was truly impressive, both light and powerful, fitting the general mood of the program. Yuzuru flied by the boards in a whirlwind and practically slammed a spread eagle on the exit in to the ice as if in a statement: “I’m Yuzuru Hanyu, I’m strong, I’m confident, and I crave for victory.”
A direction change forward and a FCSp entry are executed to the change of musical intonation at the start of the new phrase. This new musical theme is choreographically presented with a block of two spins and a skating transition in between. This is the most graceful and the airiest part of the program especially contrasting with the combination jump. Light and elegant touch of color in the music watercolors…
Features of difficulty of the spin:
Difficult entry (arabian)
Difficult camel variation (upper);
Difficult variation of the sideway camel spin (catchfoot) «ring»;
8 turns without a change of position («ring»)
The difficult variation of the basic position execution is perfect.
The spin is wonderfully fit the musical structure of the program:
– the Arabian jump on the entry highlights the change of phrases and intonations;
– the landing of the Arabian is placed right on the start of the beginning of the new phrase;
– the change to the difficult variation of the camel spin “ring” at the start of the second mesure and the execution of the variation in two measures;
– exit from the spin highlight the start of the next measure.
Intricate hands gestures in the difficult variation positions throughout the spin enhance the musical accents:
– arms being raising and fists clenched at the end with subsequent arms movement down with palms unclenched to the accent at the end of the measure;
– undulating soft up and down movement of the left arm in the “ring” position with hand reaching out at last right to the accent;
– almost indistinguishable gentle movement of the left hand then elegantly going down that highlights the beginning of the next measure.
The end of this measure has very musical exit out of the spin with smooth and soft movements of both arms and head. Skating transition before the sit spin with change of foot fits in the next measure: exquisite bracket step going into lightest toe steps with direction change and half-dropped arms – as if running through the piano keys © This stunningly musical and delicate transition between the spins is one of my personal favorite moments of the program.
The sit spin with change of foot (CSSp) execution enhances the change of mood and highlights built-up of the emotional intensity as the culmination draws closer.
Features of difficulty:
difficult entry - “windmill” (illusion spin);
jump in the spin without change of foot (flying sit spin);
change of foot (from right to left);
difficult variation of the sit spin (sit sideways);
difficult variation (sit behind).
The maximum number of features of difficulty the sit with change of foot can receive for spinning on one foot equals two. This condition is fulfilled: two positions are executed on the right foot and another two – on the left. Thus the spin receives level 4.
The spin is excellently inserted in the musical canvas of the program, the execution growing more dynamic in accordance with the music changing:
– difficult entry to the spin is executed right on the start of the piano passage accompanied with low piano accords at the end of the second part;
– “spinning” into the basic sit position on the passage;
– accentuated jump in the spin and the change of foot;
Melodic accents in the spin come with arms and hands movements in difficult variations of the basic positions and precise choreographic features:
– touch of both hands to the face in the basic sit spin position on the note;
– accentuated right hand touch to the cheek in the difficult body position of the “sit sideways” variation that influences the balance;
– right hand movement on the resounding low accord during the difficult variation “sit backwards”.
Yuzuru completely controlled all the space of the Megasport Arena. And the audience seemed to feel that as one, and responded with thunderous applause on the last two positions of the spin. Yuzuru wasn’t skating the program, he was telling his story. It seemed that music was emerging from the blades meeting the ice and his hands moving softly, as Yuzuru dissolved in the performance. During the program mood changed from quiet melancholy of the first half to passions raging on the combination jumps and then to the overwhelming happiness of the step sequence. How proudly did Yuzuru toss his head bursting into the sequence with a radiant smile! He skated like there was no tomorrow, giving his all to this performance, and involuntary tears came streaming down my cheeks. Ow happy, inspired and free he was at that moment!
I haven’t seen enough of that ©
The Step Sequence
Toe steps L/R/LFI, broad step LFI/RFI, twizzle RFI ccw (2 turns), three-turn RFI ccw, turning choreographic movement (steps) of 720 degrees ccw, chasse LBI/RBO, choctaw RBO ccw, choctaw LFI cw, half flip cw, mohawk LFI cw, twizzle RBI cw (2 turns), half flip RFI cw, mohawk LFI, twizzle RBI cw (2 turns) - rocker RBI cw - counter RFI cw - crossed step RBO/LBI, change of edge LBI/LBO, crossed step RBO/LBI, change of edge LBI/LBO, choctaw LBO cw, broad step RFI/LFI, mohawk LFI cw, hydroblade (right on the final of the musical phrase), one-foot axel (in which Yuzuru basically flies up at the beginning of the new musical phrase), chasse LBI/RBO, mohawk RBO, crossed step LFO/RFI, bracket RFI cw, cross roll RBO/LBO, lobe LBO with free leg swing, loop RBI cw, falling leaf cw, bracket LFI ccw, crossed step LBO/RBI, direction change forward, rocker LFO ccw – counter LBO ccw – loop LFO ccw.
Scheme of the Step Sequence
Table of difficult turns and steps of the StSq:
Features of difficulty of the StSq:
Following turns and steps are cunted towards the features: two clean choctaws (cw and ccw), two rockers (cw and ccw) two counters (cw and ccw), two brackets (cw and ccw), two twizzles (cw and ccw), two loops (cw and ccw). All in all 12 difficult steps and turns.
All 6 types of difficult steps and turns are executes in both directions (clock-wise and counter clock-wise), that satisfies complexity criteria, maximum level of the StSq is 4.
Rotations in either direction (left and right) with full body rotation covering at least 1/3 of the pattern in total for each rotational direction (see scheme). Feature counted.
Use of body movements for at least 1/3 of the pattern (arms, head, thighs and upper body work is definitely enough). Feature counted.
Two different combinations of 3 difficult turns on different feet (first on the right, second on the left). Both are executed with a clear rhyme within the sequence. Feature counted.
Thus all four features are counted towards 4 level of difficulty.
The element as a whole is wonderfully implemented in the musical canvas. The timing and scale of elements (e.g. hydroblade, one-foot axel, Ina Bauer) compliment the rhyme and beats. Every step and elements also enhance the precision of interpretation and highlight the phrasing. The same can be stated about the choreographic accents during the execution that fit the rhythmic pattern: steps and turns at the start and the combination of hydroblade and one-foot axel executed on the change of phrases, the second combination of three difficult turns that coincides with the end of the phrase, the change of foot right after the final loop at the end of the measure and distinguishing the end of the sequence. Movements suit the mood and style of the music and also become a mean of interpretation.
The final combination spin CCoSp is entered through the “traveling came” at the beginning of the new musical phrase to highlight wave-like changing intonations of the final part.
Features of difficulty of the spin:
Camel spin
change of edge in the camel spin from inside to the outside;
difficult non-basic position;
Change of foot (from left to right)
difficult variation of the sit spin (sit forward “a-la Johnny”)
difficult variation of the upright spin (“scratch spin”).
In the combination spin all the three basic positions are executed: camel, sit and upright. Four difficulty features are used.
For the combination spin with change of foot the maximum number of features attainable equals two for each foot. This requirement is fulfilled (two position on the left foot, two – on the right). Thus the spin is level 4.
Change of positions in the spin on the left foot by the measures:
– change of edge in camel spin – transition to non-basic position – change of foot and transition to the difficult variation of the sit spin on the beat – difficult variation “scratch” of the upright spin on the fading of the melody at the end.
Choreography is accompanied with the intricate hands and arms movements in the spin to even further express the musical accents:
– accentuated choreo during the camel spin:
– undulating hands movements in the “pancake” position;
– gentle left hand gesture in the upright spin.
Transition to the final pose that mirrors the starting one, symbolizes the flow of time. The only fascinating difference: in the starting pose Yuzuru turns his head in different direction. His eyes seem to be fixed on the future, on new hopes and dreams. Everything continues to…
Johnny Weir, interview for Number 966, 22.11.2018:
“Yuzuru used some elements of my program that looked very harmonic. At the same time the program became something personal for Yuzuru, he skated it in his own style, that touched me very much.Yuzuru did everything in order to fully express the music. And if I showed it as soft and gentle sadness, Yuzuru demonstrated his fierceness and the brilliance of the composition. Music just as people is versatile, and Yuzuru and I showed different interpretation sides of the same melody.
His talent became obvious even in his childhood day, but he have grown up to be the athlete I couldn’t even imagine. Yuzuru became so unbelievably strong, and despite the injury conquered his second Olympic title. I never thought I would live to a skater so strong.
To everyone who doesn’t know him personally I can say that after all this time his compassion for people and his humanity haven’t changed in the slightest. He’s famous all around the world, and yet his modesty and approach to people remain the same as they were on the day I’d met him for the first time.”
Translator’s notes:
* the original article was published in order to celebrate Yuzuru’s 24th birthday, as was this translation, belated as it is. Hope you’ll be just as happy as you deserve for inspiring so many people all over the world with your skating, your talent and your heart, Yuzuru!
** some quotes were unfortunatelly translated from Russian (credits to Аnna Zamotayeva and Evgenia Mitrofanova) where the original wasn’t available. Considering that some quotes went from English to Japanese to Russian to English, nuances may be lost in translation. If you have sources with original (either Japanese or English) quotes, I would be happy to improve the text.
*** if you have any questions or suggestions concerning technical skating details, chances are I messed up in the translation, and it was not a problem of the original, so please, contact me first. Also, none of the photos belong to me, and if you would want your picture taken down, I would do so right away.
Thank you!

Yuzuru’s Visit to Naraha, Fukushima 7.3.2018
While I’m as happy as the next fan to see Yuzuru finally wearing both medals (“Inconsistent? Wild? Too cold? I can’t hear the sound of your hate over these two consecutive-golds clinking around my neck~♥ ”), I really want to emphasize the circumstance of him wearing them here.
Here’s the school’s blog entry about the event. And the short news broadcast.
(a couple of tiny translation snippets 1, 2)
Yuzuru is visiting the town Naraha in the Fukushima prefecture, which is one of the closest towns to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactor power plant and one of the towns in the original 12 mile exclusion zone. You can read the full New York Times article on Naraha here, but to give a brief overview: Residents were finally allowed to return in 2015, and families with children returned in 2017 with the opening of a school. The combined elementary-middle school opened in April 2017 and had a total of just 105 enrolled students. Some of the kids had been uprooted and relocated several times before moving back, and there are counselors to help the kids through lingering anxieties.
The first time we’re seeing Yuzuru with both medals isn’t because of an interview or for a TV news segment. Of all the times he could have brought them out to display together -- the ice show he produced, the Sendai parade in his honor, the Emperor’s spring garden party, the prime minister’s party, the Japanese Olympic Committee award ceremony, the press conference after the People’s Honor Award -- he only now brings them out for this visit with kids. Gold medals are awards for being the best in the competition and winning, but bringing these medals here gives them a different meaning. They become symbols of hope and perseverance. It’s a beautiful sentiment that also displays Yuzuru’s character.
Yuzuru has visited survivors of the hard-hit earthquake&tsunami disaster zone multiple times in the past - the most* notable cases being in 2014 when he talked to locals in Ishinomaki and visited Minato junior high school which had just finished reconstruction that spring, in 2016 when he visited two schools in Otsuchi and skated a 5th anniversary collaboration ice show, and back in 2015 when he visited the elderly in their temporary housing in Iwaki. Those elders evacuated from Naraha and expressed that they didn’t want their hometown to be forgotten. It seems that Yuzuru took those feelings to heart and honored them today.
After the end of his many off-season obligations, just before returning back to Toronto to train, he makes time to schedule this visit. Not only does Yuzuru bring hope to the children here, but he also brings more attention to an area which is struggling to regain its population, and he’s showing that these kinds of places haven’t given up fighting. This visit is a perfect example of why he was given the People’s Honor Award the day before. It’s this kind of continued commitment over the years to visiting the impacted areas that’s made Yuzuru a symbol himself.
--------------
*In addition to the instances I mentioned above, there are the two times when he returned for short documentaries recounting what it was like to be a survivor in an evacuation center (2012--translation 1, 2; we get a glimpse of this in the 2014 Ishinomaki video and in this video; and 2016), and meeting with a man who turned his damaged home into a standing reminder of the disaster. He’s also done projects like the Hana wa Saku music video (making of here, translation pt1 here, pt2 here) and various charity skating events over the years. Not to mention the other ways he’s helped by donating the royalties from his books and his Olympic winnings to the reconstruction efforts. Also! The elderly ladies who returned to Naraha were featured in a news program when they had a watching party during the Pyeongchang Olympics.
He’s visited or done an ice show for the affected areas almost every year since the disaster occurred - I think 2013 is the only year he didn’t return in person (I’m probably forgetting something, so correct me if I’m wrong). His ties to schools and the community run deep.
#yuzuru hanyu#naruha machi#fukushima#news#people's honor award#yuzu visiting kids#he does that enough to be a tag#3.11#this was supposed to be short but then it got long#reference#even though i have a master list of links i somehow always tend to forget to add something important#so i have to go hunting for the videos again and end up taking so much time#as a teacher these kinds of visits to schools mean a lot

thankfully I love bts enough to not let these armys ruin the comeback for me but they're already starting with the bs and it hasnt even been 24 hours. Kris wu is charting number one and not bts and they have a problem with it. So when bts charts #1 its okay but when kris does all of a sudden "all of his fans are from china" "nobody knows him in the us" when they got checked with facts because kris is actually pretty popular in a lot of places here suddenly pt1
its “he’s ONLY charting in america” “His movies were flops” these dickheads have to be talking straight out of there asses. Armys ride tf out of the american music industry but when another asian artist is doing well they try to use it as an insult???? This is why collabs with other artists and just peace within bts and other asian artists doing well will probably never happen. Can yall just be happy about what bts has and not try to shit on others when they have something they dont. Another thing that pissed me off was that armys came after kris stans for apparently changing their vpn (even though kris actually has a decent amount of us fans) EVEN THOUGH big bts stan accounts were literally giving tutorials when DNA came out on how to change your VPN so that they can chart on billboard….
This is going to be an issue now when ever any artist has a comeback around the same time as BTS. Like you said, its like the only Asian artist that’s allowed to do anything outside of Asia or even make it on the charts is bts. Just imagine if all the fandoms were like that…. kpop would be extremely chaotic. On top of that Kris Wu didn’t get invited to the Grammys for nothing. Its also like some feel like other Asian artist are not allowed to top bts in any way shape or form.
When you call them out they contradict themselves. For them automatically going to the VPN change, that’s their guilty continuous coming out. That’s why I don’t really trust the charts when it comes to bts being on it. The drama kind of reminds me of when Exo and BTS were nominated for AOTY and the Army’s were getting mad at the Exo-L’s because Exo was winning at them time, then they said that it was Exo-L’s doing mass voting but there were tutorials on how to mass vote from bts fan accounts. Then Mnet issued an IP address warning and some how it was Mnet hates BTS and it was also Exo’s fault.
The only thing I hope is that BTS actually sees whats going on inside their fandom, because their fans heavily played the system for both the BBMA awards and the Billboard charts.

Theo Raeken-Free Pt1 Song:6lack-Free You watched in horror as Theo made his move on two girls. The neon lights made it look like an illusion but you knew it was really happening. This was a never ending cycle. You and Theo would spend a night together, then he would ask you on a date but then you would end up going home alone because he would leave you for another girl. This had been going on for nearly 2 years and you kicked yourself every time for running back to him. He told you that you weren't an exclusive thing and you stupidly agreed when you should have stood your ground. Your eyes wandered back over to Theo, his lips moved but no noise came out, their conversation was muted by the loud music. You were grateful for this because you could just imagine the hurt you would have felt if you heard the things he was saying to the pretty girl. Rolling your eyes you made your way back through the crowd, over to the bar. You and Theo were best friends at this point. You were close just like Allison and Lydia, just like Stiles and Scott but there was just that something more. "You took my seat but it's okay I'll allow it"you heard a deep voice come from behind you. You twirled around to see a boy around your age, he was very attractive and you were taken by surprise. He had blonde hair that fell over his face slightly, freckles dotted around his nose and a smile that could win awards. "Do you want your seat back?"you asked quickly. "No, no seriously you have it you're comfy now, there's no point disturbing a pretty girl like you, I don't know what you're capable of"he smirked as he sat down next to you. Your eyes nearly popped out of your head when you saw his muscles as he lifted arm over the counter. "And because I gave you my seat you can buy me a drink"he grinned. You scoffed. "Aren't you supposed to be buying me a drink"you laughed. "Yeah, you're right what do you want to drink?"his eyes twinkled with excitement. You and the boy sat and spoke for hours before he sighed. "Listen, this isn't really where I want to be on a Thursday night, would you like to get a coffee and sober up instead?"he offered. You peered over to where Theo was sat, his lips connected to the girls. "Let's get out of here"you nodded quickly before grabbing your bag off the bar. The two of you didn't even make it to the end of the road because you felt a hand grip onto your arm. You spun around to see a very confused Theo Raeken. "Y/n?"he asked. "Where's your chick?"you rolled your eyes angrily as you peered over his shocker. Joey stood a couple of feet away watching closely. "Right in front of me"Theo replied as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Oh so now you want me huh?" "Where are you going?"Theo ignored your comment, glaring at the boy behind you. "For a coffee"you shot back. "I have coffee at mine, let's go"he replied as he pulled you towards him gently. You pushed him away. "Theo, I think we're done here, I think we're done in general"you said slowly. "Y/n don't do this after 2 years- "After 2 years of me feeling like I'm not good enough? I've had enough I don't want to feel like this tomorrow Theo I don't want to feel like this ever again"you shook your head. "You weren't complaining before"his eyebrows furrowed together. "You're an asshole! it's because I was scared of losing you"you spoke quietly. "We should have just walked away from each other when we had the chance because now we're in it too deep"Theo frowned, angry tears threatened to spill. "I am the one that's in it too deep Theo, I'm the one that was in love with you, you don't have anything to worry about!" You didn't want to show him how much he hurt you so you simply turnt around. "I really hate you Theo"you said bitterly before walking away with the blonde haired boy. "And I hate how much I love you"he mumbled angrily punching the brick wall beside him. Part2?

I just looked at the credits and they literally explain everything, the members haven't been nearly as involved as they were in Wings, maybe that's why I feel a bit disconnected from the music. I really do enjoy most of the songs (except the teaser version of DNA sounds sooooo much cooler than the full one, can't stand that obnoxious edm breakdown). It makes me feel less confused, I still love bts and that is the problem, I want more of their input.
yeah… honestly i thought about this once more when listening to the album a few more times last night while reading the articles that came out and what was said at the press conference, and then it kind of clicked to me… sorry to go on a tangent but i came to a conclusion that the issue is, that the boys, the fans and the company are all focused on something else than the actual music
whenever they were asked what the boys’ goals were, it was all… wanna get into billboard hot 100, that they want it to chart really well digitally, want to get a lot of awards, want to set records, want to have milestones that will be set in history… and the fans are trying to make it happen for them so suddenly the actual music doesn’t matter as much to them either, and the boys are basically saying what the company is pushing too…
so this album wasn’t about them advancing as artists, getting more involved in their music (this is a huge step back in this regard from wings, and even hyyh pt1 and 2 where more members had involvement as well), it wasn’t about them expressing themselves or even really doing music they want to do (which would explain why a lot of people struggle in finding some connection or sincerity in the album this time), if you put it all together, what the boys said and the marketing the company has been doing and taking into account how this album sounds, this album was very obviously made from scratch with the intention of getting them on the hot 100 and smashing those records, getting as mainstream as possible basically, the goal wasn’t to make good music or for the boys to express themselves, so their input as artists was minimized…
i’m not saying they’re not working hard, but considering how we know they all work on the music and try to create and submit melodies and lyrics… looking at the credits, obviously the company had different goals than letting them be more involved :( i’m hoping that after they achieve all this awards and charting stuff, that we can go back to them putting more of themselves in their music and wanting to do music for music’s sake
#if you think about it#it's funny how it's normalized in our fandom#imagine if beyoncé came out and said ''oh my goal for this album is to get 10 grammys''#wouldn't people think that was weird askjd#anyway yeah#i think that's why it came out the way it did#ask#anon
