Yuzuru Hanyu: 2015-16 Season

[Danibellerika]

Translation of another video showing Yuzu sense of humor. Thanks @yuzusorbet.

I'm a little amazed to hear Lindsey Stirling (pop violinist) playing in the background at the 4 minute and 7 minute marks! I LOVE her stuff! Kinda cool that she has notoriety there.

When I see Yuzuru's performances and read his thoughts about those performances, then combine it with his strive for being better and better, I feel that in his own mind he has a lot that has not achieved yet. This gives me this feeling that he won't retire after 2018 OG. No, it is not a feeling, I'm pretty sure about it. He will not retire.

The chick magnet

Even in the middle of all these teenage girls, he looks tiny. Tall, but tiny

In the album the group pictures are all team country pictures expect for Yuzu's

 

[firal]

So one thing we know for sure he'll be doing at Kohaku is introucing the band BUMP OF CHICKEN's song RAY as they take the stage. He did not attend the rehearsal, but from the person that took his place, he'll introduce it as a song that he received great courage from.

Happy new year to those of you ringing in the new year earlier! (in case I don't get a chance later)

 

[SuzyQ]

Thank you Meoima. I just missed the program

Hmmm, just IMO, but the crazy entrance before the 3A+1Lo+3S seems to be the image derived from Sanbaso, considering the explanation by Mansai (15:15)

For your reference: Sanbaso

Very impressed.

EDIT:

29:45

Yuzuru "ああ、このジャッジいるなぁ - Ah, kono jajji iruna..... hwell:" - "Ah, there that judge is....."

I want to know which judge he meant

I think it will depend on whether he gets the gold again in Korea.

 

[Danibellerika]

If he's able to win gold again, I wouldn't be surprised if he continues at least for a couple more years after that. Not sure if he'd want to keep going to 2022.

The scene we've been waiting for...Shoma and Hanyu-san joking about linking arm in arm on stage during Nationals...

:agree: Find it just as cute as the Yuzuvier action in the Finlandia podium in 2012. And for a change Shoma initiated the gag. Smart boy.

It's nice to see them in such a good mood after Yuzu was so upset in the K&C :yes:

I'm not sure if anyone has posted something like this yet but if anyone who doesn't have NHK is interested in watching Kohaku live there is a link to do so here. I won't be able to because I'll be sleeping/working :sad21:

I just love that moment between Yuzuru and Shoma! So cute.

 

[shiroKJ]

Tsuzuki-sensei met up with Yuzu after nationals, very cute moment. I respect that Nanami-sensei doesn't like the spotlight and prefer to be behind the scenes but I really miss seeing her :sad21:

Yuzuru walking to K&C after FS "that was so bad". At first I thought he was so mad he threw his jacket at the camera ...but it just slipped from his hands lol.

Love this moment with Keiji at the end, they look like regular students meeting up there Nice to see all the skaters having fun

And this is....?? Yuzuru as a squid?? Lol so many questions....

thank you! I'll try to watch a bit because it's too long to watch it all

I already posted this really great program on the Japanese Skaters thread, but it has a lot of Hanyu-san in it so just posting it here for those interested. It contains scene of the meeting with Tsuzuki-sensei mentioned above, 4lz and 4lo attempt for Hanyu-san (Shoma trying a quad-combo and Mura trying a 4-4 combo). Lots of great scenes.

Some of Yuzu's 2015 in 30s recap

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Not really important but just a heads up for any Yuzu fans who may be first time Kouhaku viewers. The opening act is this singer. Hope that wasn't a spoiler.

This was weird, but it's nice to see Miss Japan in there! I hardly ever see our Miss Americas anywhere.

Yuzu's turn starts around 21:50 Japan time.
Bump (Yuzu introduces them) starts 22:10 Japan time!

I have set my reminder on TV for NHK..
Let's see how long I'd stick to it before I change channel for maybe a few minutes or more (and then only to miss Yuzu's shots jk)..

We can see Yuzu singing with Bump.
