Here are two rather different perceptions of Gates of Living:
Yes!!! The Citizen pics are all truly great and inspiring but this one went really viral, I saw it reposted like everywhere, can't even count how many timesThis Citizen China photo shoot does inspire fanartists, the 40-team didn't travel all the way to Sendai for nothing:
Today is the anniversary of the first show Yuzuru produced, Continues With Wings! I must dog out my video and watch it... even then (and, due to the ankle injury that was such a worry at PC, without major jumps) he was showing a rare talent for putting together a work that was special, a cut above...
To reminisce even more, here's Parisienne Walkways from COiNTU on an injured ankle, no jumps and a costume from a different programme. Still iconic!Rewatching COiNTU, one of the things I am struck by (besides the amazing way he reworked the programs to allow for the post-PC no jumping ankle-induced edict, how beautiful and amazing they were without the triples and quads, I guess some skaters are just more than the tech, yes? oh, and the fact that he still fitted into his costumes from 2012! - I wonder if he still does now?) was the way even then he was able to talk, even chat so naturally and so appealingly to his big audience, making it feel like he was talking to each person. It's a gift, along with all his others, and in recent shows we can see how he's developed it so that the connection between Yuzu and his audience is so warm and real.

Well, yes, injured and healing, but it was exactly 6 years ago, just after his second OGM, so bit too late now for reprimandsWait, he's skating injured again? But listen to all that screaming. They eat him up with a spoon.
