REGARDING THE DANCE
Host: Mr Hanyu also danced to that right?
Nobu: Yes, I asked if he wanted to join and he happily joined in immediately. Great dance from him! Because he danced so well, I actually feel embarrassed to dance together
Host: Just to confirm, are Satoko and Keiji san...
Nobu: I think so too...Yes, they are not familiar with the dance and probably did not even watch the TV drama. But when we suggested to do it together, we all danced.
Host: Is Mr Hanyu able to dance so well from the start?
Nobu: We only danced to the chorus part, but he knows the entire choreography for the dance.
Host: (amazed) We tried this on (a dude)'s wedding too but it was really embarrassing.
Nobu: Yuzu is truly an expert. No wonder he's the King.
Host: We'll further discuss this later.
Host: Next is the section "Weekly sports" (...) Nobu's dance is so kawaii. Hanyu-kun's dance moves are ...
Another host: Really exaggerated, especially his waist.
Nobu: Really good at it, with the waist movements, hahaha
Host: How do you feel about it, Nobu?
Nobu: (Imitates Hanyu) It's dope to dance like this...haha
Host: Nobu-san is shrinking next to Mr Hanyu (due to Yuzuru's large movements)
Nobu: Yes, because of the limited space...But it was fun
REGARDING THE QUAD
Host: Regarding Mr Hanyu's new quad, could you please explain it to us? To start with "weekly sports", can you talk about the strengths of the "Absolute King" Yuzuru Hanyu (I loled at the word choice! Very anime!)
(.....)
Hanyu: 4lz. When this season finally comes to off season, it reaches the stage of "sliding" (he means, an imperfect land)
Narrator: Nobu will explain this to us later. Let us first appreciate Yuzuru Hanyu's LP on NHK. The programme begins with the new addition of 4Lo this season.
Nobu: Yes, right here. Although his axis is slightly tilted, look at his knees! The ability to make use of his flexible knees is Yuzuru's strength in jumps.
Host: Truly wonderful.
Narrator: 4Lo is the third hardest jump, aside from 4A. He executed the 4Lo, and creates the season highest record with over 300 marks. What ignites the "fire" in Yuzuru Hanyu's heart is the talented jumper, 17 yo USA teenager, Nathan Chen.
Narrator: Hanyu adds three quads in his free skate, which is a very challenging programme. On the other hand, Nathan Chen surpasses Hanyu by having four types and a total number of five quads. That is beyond the regular programme.
Hanyu: I am still unable to add in five quads in my programme. After watching Nathan Chen's programme, I feel like I am still doing
basic stuff (whaaatttt)
Narrator: Therefore, Hanyu prepared a new jump, that is 4Lz. That is the hardest jump apart from 4A.
Hanyu: After hurting my left instep joint, the least burdensome jump to my left foot is 4Lz and 4Lo. Although I am not suggesting that it will be added to my programme next season, I think it is better to start (becoming an asset) as soon as possible.
Narrator: Jumping in figure skating creates an impact to your feet when jumping and landing.
(YALL HAVE TO LISTEN TO 3:53. Hanyu gave a faint squeak when he fell. I can't be the only one thinking of a kitten) Yuzuru, having an injury on his left foot in April and then taking a rest, challenges the less burdensome 4Lo and succeed. We are all looking forward to his new 4Lz. We'll leave it to Nobu to explain to us the difficulty of 4Lz.
(...)
Host: Is it fine to skip 4F to 4Lz directly?
Nobu: (displays 4Lz) Look at the knee. Outward is Lz, Inward in Flip. When you look at the upper body, you know it is impossible to jump without twisting your body. You cannot twist less when you are jumping. It is difficult, but I have seen Yuzuru's 4Lz a few times in ice shows. It is gradually improving.
Host: Shoma learnt the 4F jump, right? So with the 4Lz, Yuzuru can have four types and can do five quads.
Nobu: Yes. And this will become a huge thing, after Nathan Chen.
(...)
Nobu: Because Yuzuru is now the record holder, by having 4Lo, people are already wondering if he will break the record again.
Host: If there is 4Lz, will he get to 350?
Nobu: yeah, how far can he get to?
