Yuzuru Hanyu: 2015-16 Season

[skatefan22]

And I read an interesting tweet about Sota’s touching comment. She said, “I wish Sota to decide that he shall take Gold at Pyeongchang and make Hanyu-san withdraw his retirement!”

I know the fan is probably joking and doesn't want Yuzu to retire at 23. But it still sounds quite cruel. I wish Yuzu get all that he wants in competition and life. :

I really love photos by Sunao NOTO..
- Like an actor, in white ANA jersey!
- Cool and sweet! in UA

Hey Hamaguri! How's everyhting coming?
I hope your "WORKPLACE MISTAKE" is all in the past (and I hope you tell me about it a little)
I love both pics. The first pic, Yuzu seem to say "Hi! Cameras are flooding after after me and I won't be able to eat my noodles in peace...but NICE TO SEE YOU!"
The 2nd pic, Yuzu is , "WEEE! CRICKET ICE! oh--yeah...cameras, cameras are here. (back to seriousness)


and you said YOU CAN HEAR ME OUT..well just let me scream this once..

"I HATE IT WHEN MY GUESS IS RIGHT!!!!!!!(about doing his old Chopin)"


P.S..sorri guys...you can ignore me.I've just read here that my intuition is right.The thought suddenly came to me(around June) "SP is exciting to wait.I don't know what everybody would do if he repeats his chopin.ahaha!" I laughed that time.But I'm not laughing now.

I know..I know..CHOPIN is great but--- just lemme sigh for now.:scowl: (I'll go grab a lettuce)

It’s a pity we may not see his K&C as a coach, though we were expecting it! It should be very fun!
Yeah, I was surprised he is more stoic than I imagined. He spends most of his free time at his apartment…:shocked:

On another note, I could settle with not seeing Yuzu with his students at K&C. Because he'd probably be the first one to cry once his student's scores come up. Or he would say, "Oh..you did good! I was so SCARED."

 

[HanyaYuzura]

May I talk about my dream if I were super rich? I would take premier seat about every competition and show where he appears and see him as much as I like! And that, I’d have him get a lovely castle who he wants!

Wow...That's some dream!
ahm...when you get him a castle someday...can you put me in as his chambermaid?
:dance:

 

[hamaguri]

I know..I know..CHOPIN is great but--- just lemme sigh for now.:scowl: (I'll go grab a lettuce)

I know well about your mixed feelings… I understand and follow his decision, still I can’t help but to think why he doesn’t bring fun or rock star type program… He’s really really handsome in such cool type of programs.. Ballade and SEIMEI both are somewhat controlled and reserved programs… I want to see him amuse himself getting audience into his palms, behaving like a bit tease.

(About my mistake after the shock of yuzu's sp announcement, I destroyed my typed long document without saving it. I apologized to my boss and promised to redo it next Monday, and went back home. Lol)

- Looks like fan received answer to their question from the Autumn Classic organiser. I wonder how many enquiries they had received for the last 48hours . I read that the venue can only take 1500 :hopelessness:. I wonder whether people will be camping the night before...hhmmm the weather is going to be cold though :think:

- Another SEIMEI funny fanart, google translated as 'Princess ODA like SEIMEI'

- Tracking down the new UA shirt .

- Pooh and Vegatta saving money to go to PyeongChang? We should too

Yuzuru Hanyu announces that he'll compete at Autumn Classics.
Fans in the area go YAAAAAAY arty:
Organizers of the event go WHY ME???

 

[cheerknithanson]

Whaaat? Are they sure the're not going to change to a bigger venue? They might want to do that...And about the tickets, this is not some kind of a walk in novice event! THE Yuzuru Hanyu is coming! Don't they realize that yet?

fans FLOOD people!
ticket BLOODBATH!
venue COLLAPSE!
media FRENZY!
END OF THE WORLD!!!

Really...the organizers should realize HOW SERIOUS this is if Yuzuru Hanyu is coming. We're his fans. We know what's gonna happen. So someone should warn them in advance.hwell:

The thing is that it's not as big as the GP. So there might be LESS people coming. And he's doing Skate Canada which is in.....Canada as well.

Well I'm pretty much alluring to the fact that there's probably going to be a stampede (Man I love using that word sometimes) of everything at the Autumn Classic.

I really hope you're right. I really think I will go and coming from France, I'm gonna be uber pissed off if I can't access the venue... I'm not the only one facing this risk, and since I'm not going to Barcelona nor SC, it might be the only chance.:think:
But I think the team at AC are not foolish and are aware that there can (or will) be much more people coming than usual.

 

[Winnie_20]

I don't consider myself a drama queen, but... seriously? Only tickets sold at the door, and a small venue, *and* the tickets cost less than a decent lunch meal? They are in so much trouble. Worlds of trouble.

I can't even go because:

1. I have school that whole week and the days he's doing it I have class.
2. Travel internationally is EXPENSIVE.
3. That specific week also I have cheer practice every day for our midnight madness routine and gameday stuff.
4. I'm traveling that next week for Skate America.

Exactly and fans will be able to see Yuzu up close like a VIP season preview with only 1500 other people (I cannot recall where I've seen this number, anybody can confirm the venue capacity?)...

- Autumn Classic website
- The arena from Allandale Recreation Centre website

 

[Hanmgse]

So many updates these days. Thank you guys for all the links and translations

I don't think I'll go, I looked on different websites and it seems to be quite hellish to go from Toronto to Barrie with so many changes, fares and such... Not worth the trip, honestly. I guess I'll wait next season to see Yuzuru live. Oh well... I'll save the money for maybe FaOI next year, LOL!

I think I read that Japanese Tour Company(HIS) has already announced it will have a tour to Autumn Classics( probably with hotel/flight/tickets?), so it will definitely be crazy. I don't think they know what they are in for; theses competitions usually have very few spectators, mostly skaters' friends and relatives and young skaters from local skating club.

That was a very interesting interview. I was reading it in Japanese and very happy to find that it matches with the translation here( yah for my increase in understanding Japanese!)

He is definitely first an athlete first kind of a skater; even more so than many others I imagine. 2-3 times eating out per year?? Holy! :shocked: and in a way I am a little sad that he is not enjoying his life in Canada more, but then I realize that I am just putting my own idea of what a teenage boy should be experiencing and forcing it on him. Which is wrong too.

Anyone else think that the 2020 Tokyo Olympics have something to do with his wish to provide guidance to athletes in general, winter or summer sports? I know many Japanese who are planning their lives around this big event!

 

[HanDomi]

I guess they don't know yet that arena will be filled to the last seat

I hope the Japanese media did research on how big the place will be. Definitely not as big as what NHK arenas would be.

Okay, so I think I'm going to bite the bullet and go to GPF as well since my sister said she wants to go with me. I was checking the travel costs for Autumn classic and it was only $200-300 less than Barcelona so I thought, might as well go for GPF instead I checked the ticketing site and all the VIP boxes are sold out so I'll have to settle for the regular tickets.

Question: Are we able to chose the seats/sections or are they given to you by random?

 

[hamaguri]

@SuzyQ, I find the picture below very interesting. some day..

- Pooh and Vegatta saving money to go to PyeongChang? We should too
