Yuzuru Hanyu: 2016-17 Season

[xibsuarz]

I'd love to know the music for that short, description sounds so cool I want to finally hear it.

Why must Skate Canada be so far away?

 

[Pamigena]

I think so, there might have been some misunderstanding. I clearly remember the girl mentioned 4T, 4S, 4lo and 4Lz. And scorewise, it's better for Yuzuru to train 4lo and 4lz rather than 4F and 4lz. He will not have to care about edge in the flip. Lutz edge is no problem with him.
I think next season he will do 4lo, 4S, 4S3T and 4T in the Lp. Not sure about the 4lz, I think the success rate isn't enough yet. But who knows...

Depending on how much the question if they made a mistake in the article is killing you, you can always try and ask on facebook maybe you'll be lucky and get an answer.

Why must Skate Canada be so far away?

because some skating God hates us personally? would be my first guess



ETA: I'm sorry about the weird quote, I have no idea why the forum hates me at the moment :sad21: it won't let me do normal quotes and always changes it back like that when I try to edit it

Looks like the article "visit to Toronto" is in the next edition, coming out 9th September, thats right. So why they chose Hanyu as cover for July/August edition ? That misguided me. All the same, I am going to buy also this September edition.

I agree, the cover is misleading - I have no clue why they do it this way, sorry. I hope you don't regret buying the current July/August issue.

I wanted to see his competition program of White Legend.

It is unbelievable 5 years have passed as long as seeing him in the same costume.

Although the original music of White Legend is Swan Lake, as many say, and I also think his image in this program is a crane rather than a swan.

We may miss his charm of, a sort of roughness or viridity pertain to youth, but I believe we can enjoy the maturity he is getting acquired.

As SC is too far away, I believe (want to believe) he is going to show us his new program(s) somewhere before long. Fingers crossed

A lot of Q&A and press interviews with Yuzu at Lotte event, the team at YHIFG FB is helping in some of the translations

1) Translation by Angelica to this 11min video.
- Encourage Tao-san to try ice skating :agree:
- Being embarrassed by the 3 ladies :
- Finishing the chocolate during the CM
- Flirty Yuzu plus go for 8 packs
- Thing that get him excited and heart throbbing :rofl2:

2) Translation of the part regarding doesn't go to seaside "Only good on frozen water. Not liquid water. ".
A fanart, Let's go to the sea. That's ok you have the float (rough google translation)

3) Translation on question about "exciting points or things we should pay attention to in new programmes". Looks like he is keeping them under wrap till SC lol

4) Translation on questions about "your feelings now towards the new season?"


Edit to add the below.
5) Translation of his solo interview after the main event based on this video. Some parts already posted earlier.

Tumblr version summary of translation (2), (3), (4) & (5) for those who cannot view facebook.

News about typhoon in Tohoku . I hope everyone there including Yuzu and his family are ok.

Why must Skate Canada be so far away?

I had to go check the dates first, haha. Well, two months waiting left ahead. As long as he had less time skating this off season I think he just wants to build up his stamina so that he is 100% ready to start the season in best shape. And he wants to present the result of his work the best way possible. That is wise.
Also- and it just my speculation- I think that he wants to make changes in his FS. Maybe even change the music. I don't know why it came into my mind when I heard him saying that he would like not to say anything about his LP yet. I thought: hmm, he must be plotting something.
On a positive note: we get to see lots of other skaters present their programs prior to him so his would be a cherry on top of our figure skating cake, eh?

Oh no. I hope everyone is safe in that region.

Fun fact: when I watched this program skated live in Sochi Olympic Games in 2014 I was at the Russian forum and there were people asking what is that music- and I was like "what?"

i think he has some king of contract with the TV show where they give us info about his new programs and show us videos, thats why its a secret but i wold like to see him play with placements of elements a little, he usually does 3 jumps, spin/stsq, 5 jumps and chsq/spin, it would probably be more challenging but program would feel more balanced and we wont hear people saying "he only does jump, jump, jump"(sorry, thats just me being selfish )

and wow, its been very long since the last time i posted in his fan fest even though i read everyday, thanks everyone for all the updates!!!!!!!!!!!

Will we hit 3000 pages before Skate Canada starts?

They should be proud of their great composer

although I know it is arranged a bit Japanesque with Japanese traditional instruments.

 

[matmuh]

depends on how ridiculous his Lotte CM and costume is?

Yes, I remember reading about that agreement but I was not sure it could be like that. I don't know if he changes the layout but his programs are sure not about jump-jump-jump in comparison to some Russian ladies doing all LP jumps in the second part of the program. That sure looked like jump-jump-jump.

Or maybe it would be very elegant. Also- the white suit he wore in printed Lotte commercial materials was totally awesome.

“Ideal figure skating is an absolute fusion of jumps, spins, steps, and also the in between elements with music" - Yuzuru Hanyu

Some may forget, but we must also remember the various amount of transitions he has in between the elements, the different/difficult entries to them in both SP & LP, the flow between choreo and jumps with little/no setup. The programs look one as a whole and jumping elements are looking like the part of choreography.

Maybe because the arrangement was too strange to them? I mean how could Russian not recognize Swan Lake...

well, thats way OTT i understand the imporatance of "2nd half bonus" but i love it when you cant say if a jump is at 1st half or 2nd half (for example 3F at Satoko's LP last season, i thought it was at 2nd half because it was after her stsq but i was wrong ), and to be clear i dont think his programs are just jump jump but i think change would be nice

Or maybe it would be very elegant. Also- the white suit he wore in printed Lotte commercial materials was totally awesome.

i think i am still traumatised by the "golden frill costume " and that suit was well fitted but i think jacket was a bit short

The "pirouette" July /August just arrived !
No word about Hanyu in this edition, thats really quite strange, but I am not dissapointed at all: My first picture of Hanyu which is not in my laptop ( desktop background) and its printed on real stable hard paper (not the cheap really quickly crumbling low quality paper you have in the covers of other journals).
"pirouette" is consisting of pure information and nearly no ads, if there are ads, they are tiny ( extremely unusual). Not allowed is to re - print content or pictures without a written OK from the publisher, so I just cite and put it into my own words.
At least I found one thing related to Hanyu: Fernandez in a gala in Japan showed a 4Lo end of June ( a relatively correct looking one "pirouette" said) and its assumed he wants to integrate 4Lo next season in his programs. My deduction: Fernandez wants to close up to Hanyu, because for shure Hanyu will show 4Lo next season, and as all of you know Hanyus 4 Lo is impeccable ( not: "relatively correct looking" ).
At least one thing is now for shure as far as I see: Hanyus 4 Lo. As the 4 Lo is new quad he will show it in the begin of his FS ( I dont think 4Lo will be in SP).
In this season I think Hanyu will do 4 quads and three different ones, one of the quad in combination. Maybe 4L keeping for Olympic season.....
I will order the "pirouette" from September to keep waiting short for you, it should be here around 10th of September.

Exactly. Swan Lake is like same famous as national anthem is. And they asked, like "what is that Japanese music he skates to?" I mean... how? The arrangement makes it sound as a fusion melody but I think Swan Lake is quite recognisable anyways. Well, not to everyone.
