But nah, will write about it next time because I have to re-check astro facts, and since I am not in a very serious mood... huehuehue. For now, go watch + read "Medalist"! And as usual, listen to + watch "BOW AND ARROW" too. ๐ฉต๐ชฝ๐น๐

Come to think of it, I also noticed another astrological connection related to "Medalist" hehe... although it is more *personal* in a sense and will be shorter, since it is more on the collaboration again (which I already wrote at length about). XD 12/๐๏ธ

...more engaging, more RELATABLE (because realistically, not everyone likes sports). The balanced combo of anime + real-life depiction made it (and other sports-related stuff too, I noticed? :O) gain further recognition and a broader audience. :D 11.8/๐๏ธ

In striking the perfect balance between acting out + referencing Medalist characters and scenes TOGETHER with his own moves and preferences for the overall choreography, he---alongside the husband---made "Medalist" and ice-skating overall... 11.7/๐๏ธ

In addition, there is such a thing as being "too fixed/defined on something that you alienate others." Now while this could be useful at times, our context here is: the main goal/purpose is the "Medalist" anime, and naturally, the manga as well. 11.6/๐๏ธ

And there is nothing wrong with that approach. I stand by what I said before: Mr. Hanyu embodied the characters and essence of "Medalist" very well. In portraying them fused with his own style, that, in actuality, makes it ALL THE MORE HIMSELF. :D 11.5/๐๏ธ

That is why he struggled when he thought about portraying only himself in the MV (made me laugh a bit in a good way, that part XD). But honestly? That is completely valid. By now, it is probably natural for him to step into a character or role... 11.4/๐๏ธ

...not only his ice-skating skills alone, but also his sense of SHOWMANSHIP. Ice-skating is not just a sport; for him, it also seems to be a stage where he can freely entertain + playfully express his creativity and interests in various ways. 11.3/๐๏ธ

And what do performers, especially true-blue ones like him, do? You see, I do not know much about ice-skating besides failed attempts as a kid (XD) + husband influencing me to read Medalist, but even I can tell what makes Mr. Hanyu a classic is... 11.2/๐๏ธ

While his skills as THE Yuzuru Hanyu are undeniably impeccable + sentiments of "Go, just be yourself!" is good and lovely... personally, I also think it is a bit *too* idealistic in this context. Because realistically... he IS a performer, 'no? 11.1/๐๏ธ

Hmm, guess I would also add my take about Mr. Hanyu being asked to "just portray himself" or how certain comments definitively observed that he "portrayed no one but himself" on the MV? True enough, yes. I agree, but only to a *certain* extent. 11/๐๏ธ

Once again, congratulations on the excellent reception of the "BOW AND ARROW" MV, short program and talk! Kindly know that when I say "insanity", it is a compliment for both men's fierce passion and dedication as trailblazers in their own fields. 10.4/๐๏ธ

There is a "seasonal star", and there is what we call "a star for all seasons". I think I do not need to explain where both of them belong here, as past + present works speak for themselves already... and will continue to, alongside future works. 10.3/๐๏ธ

...seen and felt, whether through professional crafts or personal goals. And that, simply put, is why both the husband and Mr. Hanyu consistently remain as one of the top in their own fields, regardless of changing times and competitive trends. 10.2/๐๏ธ

But personally, even with me usually being quite long-winded in discussions, those words are the only way I could explain the collaboration. Different ways of expression and even taken actions, sure, but shared intensity + insanity is very much... 10.1/๐๏ธ

What I would only like to add are the words: INSANITY and INTENSITY. Everyone wrote all types of analysis about the husband and Mr. Hanyu's similarities (more so when the talk came out), and each worth reading too (gotta repost some myself hehe)... 10/๐๏ธ

It's entertaining to observe, in a positive and awkwardly cute way (especially those who try to communicate and bridge the language barrier in posts/replies, aww). Realizations about the Sagittarius connection to the song are becoming known too. :3 9.1/๐๏ธ

Nothing much to add since everyone has said everything they could already (even until now; sometimes I get the feeling that the husband's Japanese fans experience "culture shock" a bit when they see how very active international Fanyus are hahaha X). 9/๐๏ธ

Alright, done sending some completed tarot readings! Good morning huehuehue. Now, on to a few thoughts about the husband's amazing collaboration with Mr. Hanyu. I think it's more fitting to write this under the Medalist thread so... แฏแโโ
