Yuzuru Hanyu: 2014-15 Season

[Hanmgse]

SOON. DOI is tomorrow...:hopelessness:

I read you post and was like "What? Tomorrow??" then I remembered it's already thursday for you

 

[firal]

I am almost certain that he will use Believe at NHK and Nationals. But since it's the last collaboration with Che'nelle already in Shizuoka, is he going to skate another collaboration piece with another singer at the Kanazawa and Kobe? I see Sarah Alaine is going to be there again, so maybe he is doing Final Time Traveler again at those shows with her vocals?

Only few days to go until we know more, but anyone wants to predict/bet for fun whether he will do a fast tempo or a slow SP? With or without lyrics?

In case you are interested to know but do know check other threads as frequently, Patrick announced that he is skating to Michael Buble's version of Mack and Knife for his SP.

Indeed.
It's so difficult to wait. I'm just keeping myself busy with work.

But we still have to wait for the broadcast, unfortunately. Someone here said it was not scheduled until the end of the month, that means we'll still have to endure two weeks or so without knowing?

We'll know WHAT he chose as his music, we may get some news clips. But to wait till the 21st for the complete program is cruel.
What is the TV station thinking?? they'll get SO MANY viewers if they air it live.

I know! I mean, they know how popular Yuzu is, what better way to gain viewers than broadcasting his new SP live!? But I hope we get many clips on the news. I really want to see the new costume

 

[firal]

And I think the showing on 21st is in the middle of the night, on a local channel too...

 

[matmuh]

aahhhhh the wait is killing me!! can tomorrow come faster please! also can 21st come even faster? i remember last year a fan recorded his SP secretly but it wasnt very good angle but its better than nothing, maybe we can see it this year as well
speaking of ratings, does anyone know what was the ratings for FaOI shows past 2 weeks??

 

[ahkeekee]

Lets hope the news clip will show more of Yuzu's program details!

More on FOI Shizuoka

The lady who got his shirt in the last show was Miss Universe, and she posted the shirt on her blog (scroll down please).

Lovely words and picture from Max and Tatiana

Here is the show on Fantasy On Ice Shizuoka backstage footage

It’s funny at the last part the middle-aged man commentator admired, “He is beautiful and bright. And even his sweat seems something aesthetic.”

Chunichi Sports Award Ceremony – 8 June 2015

Yuzu attended the 29th Chunichi Sports Award presentation ceremony in Nagoya.

Prince Hanyu was in the building and with his Chunichi Sports Award.

I like the way he holds awards/formal bouquet...kind of princely. And when he noticed that something is not quite right he will gently rectify it, example like this bouquet presentation.

Press Conference after Chunichi Sports Award Ceremony – 8 June 2015

Nagoya press conference (Gogosuma TBS ch6) http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2t4ikp_20150608-名古屋会見_sport

He looks so CUTE and YOUNG (15 year old kid) in... vest: https://twitter.com/hookedonskating/status/607774339518197762

Another one, his reaction to Akiko's introduction: https://twitter.com/applauseyuiyui/status/607790437064007680/video/1
TOO CUTE!!

Video of this morning: https://youtu.be/RvMkl81Srcs
He said he will put quads in the second half of both SP and LP like the original layout he intended to do last season. And he said something nice about Mao return.

Here is the Translation of the press conference in Nagoya

His face when he found Akiko in the press. It's a treasure. He seemed to have found his sister or someone very close to him in the crowd. Members of Team Japan may be a family-like group for him, where he can be relaxed.

Akiko said that they parted after the shows in Shizuoka saying to each other, "See you in Kanazawa!", and she did not tell him about this event

His senpai seem to surprise him in interviews. His reaction (http://33.media.tumblr.com/39db62e3ac42ab7874e0b35577d3cd26/tumblr_ng0iiu02s41tydf9yo2_r1_400.gif, http://33.media.tumblr.com/717add58a353a5c79c0a70ce7595a2c4/tumblr_ng0iiu02s41tydf9yo1_r1_400.gif), upon seeing Nobunari as the interviewer at the 2014 NHK is also cute.

Cleaning the class-room Yuzu style. Kudos to the amazing artist.

(in Japanese schools, most cleaning is done by the students.)
Zokin is a rag.

P.S. it's amazing how many artists, illustrators and designers Yuzu inspires, myself included. I know someone who was great at drawing but hadn't drawn for years...but then they became a Yuzu fan and began drawing again...not just Yuzu, but all sorts of things.
