Yuzuru Hanyu: 2015-16 Season

[Interspectator]

Here's my theory about the horrible camera work:
They had it all set up nicely for the first day of shooting.
Then, disaster! the ice was really bad and people kept falling over.
They looked at their filmstrips and made a last minute decision to come back the next day and hopefully get better performances.
Only a newbie camera-team was available on that day on such short notice so they didn't do any pre-shooting blocking of the skaters performances or didn't have time to do it. Thus, some of the skaters have really bad camera shots and some of them are ok.



Anyway, I'm just glad we've finally gotten to see Requiem and an improved Seimei.

Thanks for the update everyone

Oh my no wonder people are talking about requiem over and over again. It's chilling to see yuzu's raw emotion like that. The first few seconds of the program struck me so hard. The anguish and sorrow emanating from yuzu so surreal I feel like drowning in his sorrow. The costume didn't bother me at all, I think it goes well with the choreography. I hope he would perform this one at international gala (or with a better camera work, seriously! i will come back to that).

And I can't wait for Seimei's final version. I've watched the movie so I could understand his program better. Lucky me, the movies are my cup of tea [emoji3] I'm a sucker for that. It's exciting to see Yuzu unleashing more and more of his innate potential. It's crazy to think that the reigning Olympic champion has yet to reach his full potential.

and I just want to have few words on the camera work here. I work at a broadcasting organisation and have seen directors directing live in studios. I can say the camera work here is really terrible :scowl: they were using the high-angle camera for close-ups but failed terribly because the cameramen couldn't follow yuzu's movement very well. unnecessary transitions/cut between cameras and close-ups are distracting

I agree with you that the first few seconds of the requiem program totally gave me chills and made me almost cry!! (My brains and emotions are already not working the best after a plane flight, but it still managed to almost make me cry!! Thats why I'm saying that it'd be a waste if he doesn't perform it during the season for more people to see!!

Oh i didn't know the condition of the ice was that bad. maybe that explains the terrible camera work. yeah they probably don't have enough rehearsals to get the camera position and movement right.

anyway i don't want to discredit them totally. i'm also grateful that they are recording the show and we could see Requiem and cleaner version of Seimei. on top of that, they even broadcast Yuzu's speech at the end of the show

I have nothing against Uno but isn't it Yuzuru Hanyu thread ? Or pooh counts something connected to Yuzuru?

Sorry for negative comment.

Fantasy On Ice Kobe review & broadcast

Hello all. Here is my 4th and final review of Fantasy on Ice 2015. This one is a review of the Kobe show that was last weekend. I went to the 2nd showing. I would love some feedback on the review. I think I am rambling, talking too much. But there is so much more I want to say! LOL! Anyway, as you know, the audience cannot take pictures, but I've included a few press shots and as soon as video is up of the performances, I will put links in the show notes. Thanks in advance for watching!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RisQVZflB1k

Details on FaOI from Kobe on TV on Sarah Alainn site: http://www.sarahalainn.net/news/media/711fantasy-on-ice-2015-in-kobetv.html

- The opening of the show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoPRVzwuOn0

- SEIMEI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fr7r31kh3J4. He doesn't fall! I think the first jump of SEIMEI was a 3S too.

- The Requiem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxRiG1ftGws. Kenji Miyamoto said on the broadcast that he choreographed the Requiem of Heaven and Earth in case anyone's wondering.

- Finale Part 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loyVHfCSnI0

- Finale Part 2 (Yuzuru's speech) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qo-NVX7i-3M

- Kenji posted a picture of Yuzuru, Nobu, Rika and himself on his blog. http://ameblo.jp/kenjimiyamoto/entry-12049201798.html

I think the frills on the Requiem shirt has been cropped a bit.

They broadcasted his speech, but not Ballade No.1 with Fukuma-san.
But there'll be a program on a local channel next week so maybe they'll broadcast it there. Fingers and toes crossed!

Thank you for sharing SEIMEI but uh I don't like the camera angles, too much close up and far angle I can't see Yuzu's choregraphy and that beautiful sequences before the last spins >.< and ah there's a little detail that Yuzu did in DOI but didn't do in Kobe (that little flick of the head when he kinda snap his fingers), it's my favorite so I miss it.

- Buttoning/unbuttoning

- Rocking deeper v-neck next season maybe?

Aore Nagaoka Ice Show

I think this might be the latest video of Yuzuru in Nagaoka.

This quad loop looked SO EASY.

Aore Part 2. Here you can see Nobu try to get Yuzu to sit on his lap. Yuzu refuses.

It stated that they made a visit to Nagoaka City Hall and that maybe the mayor office.

Edit to add: Translated by Echo from FB...Nobu and Miki call him "Mayor Hanyu" when he was sitting down on the chair.

Nobu updated his blog with a group picture of the Nagaoka ice show cast

And some pictures from Nagaoka Aore's website.

A real tornado . Background ads are very local ones and fun including;

"うまいお酒は　吉乃川" Tasty sake is, YOSHINOGAWA

http://yosinogawa.co.jp/

Niigata is famous for sake as it produces good rice.
Yuzu is now 20 years old and eligible for drinking alcohol. Sorry, I just remembered. That's all.

- https://twitter.com/ack_yuz/status/619705365085618176. I think this is the Aore show's shop. Yuzu is looking very cool.
- Here is another news clip from practice. They all look very nice together. https://youtu.be/fCF2tCY-HI0

From Twitter:
Day Show Seimei 2s, 4T (fall), 3F, 2T2T (tano), 3A3T
Finale 4T
Made a speech at the end

Evening Show Seimei 2S, 4T, 3F, 4T-2T, 3A3T
After Requiem, the junior skaters made an arch for him to go through
At the finale he seemed very tired and fell on the 4S at the finale. Mura supported him.

Others

From yesterday's broadcast, yuzu talked about "hana-wa-saku" (part ii). he is determined and persistent. great. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2xjddb_150710-1min-花は咲く-を語る②_sport

part i aired before is here. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2wbhbg_150702-1min-花は咲く-を語る_sport

More products from Phiten for Yuzuru, Yuzuru Socks

HERE is the picture, and this is the news

As we have know that Yuzu has advisory contract with Phiten, a body care company. Today Phiten's CEO Hirata Yoshihiro (photo left) disclosed his meeting with Yuzu for their first tailor-made socks products.
These socks are specially developed and provided for Yuzu and the products has received his high evaluation.
Hirata-san also revealed that they will propose more good products and body care for Yuzu further

To read that, I remembered the episode before Sochi. He decided he would refrain from taking his Pooh Box with him around the Olympic competition venue or so considering Olympic trademark program. At that time, Japanese food maker, AJINOMOTO, tried to get him delighted, and thought up with Pooh-shaped pasta in order for Yuzu to be with his favorite Pooh as much as possible(pasta is here, cute!http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51-6hRke4YL._SL160_.jpg ). Kurihara-san, a stuff in ajinomoto was a nice middle aged man. Yuzu has the power to make people around him feel that they want to do something to satisfy or support him more and more.

The Women versions of Yuzu and Plushy's yukata. (It Seems that will be on sale soon.)

Sharing some tweets on Yuzu:

- Yuzu and his toe socks .......more toe wiggling.

- A compilation of one of Yuzu's tendency...set #1 and set #2.

Yes, if it is with his cute shrug (at 3:51), it is already unparalleled https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRLSjs6r7TA
Plus, I'm sure you like his face listening to someone's explanation at 3:48.

- 17year old prince salsaing with Maia

- More fanart: SEIMEI + Requiem, SEIMEI with flute, Yuzu&Fukuma colaboration.

Here is Yuzuru in workout outfits over 5 pages. His unparalleled proportion makes it perfect in workout clothes. http://matome.naver.jp/odai/2143317504678453701?&page=1

Here is my latest post….I consider Yuzu to be a "generational skater", and my post explains why. Please enjoy.

https://sportymags.wordpress.com/2015/07/10/yuzuru-hanyu-a-generational-skater/

Hello again! Just wanted to say that I did a MAJOR update on the site:

- Added over 1300 videos from both DailyMotion and YouTube (sorry the embeded dailymotion players are so weird looking, I can't change or code it)
- Updated the layout and contents on the merch section
- New weekly poll!
- Added an “Off Season” section to the media pages

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone so much! I was not expecting so much great feedback and comments. You guys are awesome! My next mission is to add ALL 300 Sochi pictures as well as fill in all the “Not Available” slideshows too. I encourage and appreciate comments and improvements! Thanks again!

How about this link? does it work for you? .
I tried editing the colors of some of yuzu's costumes also, hope you all will like it

I also ended up doing a blog for fun and to gather information about Yuzuru ..mine is here ..a reflection on Yuzuru and his new programs

Sorry for negative comment.

Well, I don't see any harm in SuzyQ's comment. Shoma and Yuzu seem close and to see a soft toy that is now so closely associated with Yuzu is just nice and amusing.

Very kakkoii Mura style~ :thumbsup: I've actually been admiring this jacket since it first appeared in Kanazawa. Definitely my favorite of Yuzuru's apparent street clothes. I adore most of his on-ice costumes (practice gear included) but tend to be a bit when it comes to his everyday wear. Much respect for him having his own personal style though~

I love Yuzu everyday wear though, simple t-shirt and jeans which he looks the best, or sometimes in sports attire...low maintenance I believe .

I was just amused Winnie the Pooh was in our loving figure skating world from such a long time ago

I find his normal clothings quite normal, but his wonderful body shape makes normal clothes look very nice on him!! So I love him wearing almost anything!!
*drooling*

 

[HanyaYuzura]

Lols!! I saw yuzu in my dreams last night and he was a villain who still loves pooh bears and sorta forces people to buy Pooh bears for him lols!! I remember seeing his evil smile while he forced people to buy Pooh bears hahas!! Sorry it's so funny so I wanted to share this!

yuzuru looking villain is not my dream but my WISH. and I'm still gonna stick to my prayer. I PRAY he skates to FInal Fantasy VII Zephiroth theme someday and play the epic protagonist's part. SP or FP..whatever is fine with me.

Ooooooh...One-Winged Angel would be so cool. I agree that I, too, would love to see Yuzuru embody a villainous character. Maybe he can skate to the Devil's Trill as well.
