A more detailed translation of an interview after Worlds (a summary was posted previously) . Credit: @yuzuland tumblr
Q: What do you want to eat right now, after the tough competition?
Y: Right now….I knew you may ask what I want to eat to relax but right now all I want to skate more than eating anything.
On his second place finish at Worlds:
Y: I have a lot of regretful feelings, but at the same time I also found many tasks and room for improvement in myself. I am a lot more regretful than everyone thinks; I want to do more training before next season and be stronger.
Yuzuru was not satisfied with his almost perfect performance in NHK Trophy and GPF. Even before the competition, he said “[the performance] is not perfect yet. I am practicing because it is not perfect.” However, it was the word “perfect” that put pressure on him.
Y: I strive for the perfect performance [of the programme] too much. Last time when you interviewed me in Toronto, I said “there is no limit, there is no limit in striving for one’s perfection.” But, in fact, considering the technical difficulty of the programme I have right now, I already got almost maximum points (in NHK and GPF). Therefore I was satisfied with my accomplishments. Precisely because in my mind I believe I had perfect performances, I was “trapped in the past”. That’s how I analysed [the reasons behind the performance on Friday.]
On next season
Y: I want to raise the difficulty of the programme, that’s for sure. In the first half of the season, I did what I wanted to do. But in the last two competitions (Nationals and Worlds), I couldn’t deliver the performances as I wanted to. I believe this must be a test from God. That’s why I have to aim higher, have to strive to be stronger even more. I feel strongly about this.
Q: You want to skate now?
Y: There is nothing I can do.This is how I am. I can’t change it even if I want to. I will cherish this kind of personality and come face-to-face with skating.
I'll be over the moon if Yuzuru ever decides to work with him! I read in a Japanese fan blog that in a recent interview with a Japanese figure skating magazine, Camerlengo named SEIMEI as one of his favorite programs (not sure what the context is, maybe those who have the magazine can clarify what he exactly says in the interview), and besides he once expressed his interest in working with Yuzuru sometime in the 2011-2012 season.
