I believe this is the translation that I found from masqueradewaltz yahoo blog can be used for this video. The video on the blog was private, but from the chinese subs in the video, the content is the same and the times are still correct with the video linked.

3.11. East Japan great earthquake.
The earthquake of magnitude 9 caused Sendai big damage.
At that time, Yuzuru Hanyu was in the rink. He was safely though the building was
damaged.
However, his home was in complete destruction and he had to take shelter to the refuge,
the elementary school, with his family.
2:12
It's been already a year since the earthquake.
He visited the elementary school of the refuge again.
It was here. That was such a small area where I stayed.
I spent time at here with my family of four.
I took a picture here like that.
At that time, he took a picture.
450 people were taking shelter here.
At night, there were only two lights of the private power generation.
He was not able to go to sleep easily.
I felt the shaking of the earth while sleeping, in my dream.
That made me recalled the scene of the rink and my sense at the earthquake.
I recalled such scenes from various angles.
I always had such dreams.
It was so painful for me.
3:47
They spent the days in the severe cold and were frightened by the aftershocks.
Foods and goods were in the short supply so people were as hard as possible to be alive.
The distributions of boiled rice by the school personnel were only twice in a day.
We shared one rice ball by two people.
The teachers distributed those to us with apologizing.
We all worried about whether it was possible to live as same as before the earthquake.
I couldn't say "I want to skate" at all.
I alone must not be doing what I love.
He lost the home rink for the practice.
5:04
However, when cherry blossoms bloomed, he was given a helping hand.
The ice shows are held from spring to summer in the whole of the country.
The requests to perform in the show rushed to him.
He performed to 60 shows for half a year in being away from Sendai.
And he had practiced in spare of his works.
While his drawing people's attention as a representative of victim, he saw the photograph
of the refuge when he was alone every day.
He left the hometown, and was holding such a feeling.
6:00
I was full of apologizing to people in the stricken area.
I alone get away from Sendai for skating, although everyone works hard in that area.
Is it really good in it?
He felt that one has a debt to pay.
6:40
The expectations of medias for him were getting larger and larger as the season had
come.
"He is a hope for Sendai, who fights against world by overcoming the earthquake",
it was a too great expectation for 16-year-old boy.
Why do I have to carry such a heavy load on my shoulder.
I was almost defeated at pressure.
Solitary fight on the ice.
"I will fight not for the stricken area but for myself", he persuaded himself.
Anyway, I should do my best because I am away from stricken area
He won the two international competitions at this season.
7:45
His activity had given big power to the people in Tohoku in those days.
It was a pleasant surprise for him.
I was very glad to see their messages such as "I got a power by watching your skating"
or "Your performance gives me courage".
8:12
He makes his quad succeed in all-Japan championship and won the 3rd place.
He was able to qualify in the Worlds at the age of only 17.
He was not solitary any longer on the ice.
I am all right. I am not alone any longer.
I can skate by connecting with a lot of people.
"Hope for Sendai" that he felt as heavy load before, became his power.
That feeling has brought me of today.
Even when person was in very painful state, the person is not alone.
He noticed it due to the earthquake.
10:07
I was supported by supporter in the refuge and a lot of people.
They provided us water and foods.
They were also struck and might have worried about their family left in their home.
However, they devoted themselves to support us first. I was really thankful in them.
It has already passed one year.
Now, "The hope for Sendai" goes on forward to the world without forgetting the feeling
for his homeland Tohoku.
