If we're really doing this CD thing, sign me up because I have a couple of tracks I'm more than happy to shoot his way. And since we're only music again, I will shamelessly plug video game soundtracks again namely Final Fantasy :P. I'm having a problem deciding which I like more between the full version and piano version:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBSBBOSRSy4 - the drama!! I mean, if people can skate to Oh Fortuna then this shouldn't be a problem, right?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEKub0OOT9U - more in line with the classical style, maybe a little less taxing

If Yuzu skates to video game music it would probably be something from Monster Hunter :laugh:
which account??
This one
 
After Worlds, I've been trying to find words for what he's accomplished with Hope & Legacy. Perhaps my past self spoke the words I'm looking for now, in a post I made on December 13 :)
It's also incredibly brave, there is no reward for changing his layout, for doing a 3F just before the halfway mark, for doing a 3Lz at the very end of his program after an ina bauer. Much like his journey through skating and life, there's ups and downs, successes and failures, and part of the legacy of this program is the challenge of skating it cleanly itself, for him to fall on that 4Lo or that 4S+3T time and time again, to pop that -1Lo-3S and miss that final Lutz, all the while the program grows with us and with him, so that over time it's never the same twice. SEIMEI was skated cleanly early in the season and it was the challenge of skating up to that standard, like a master artisan of his craft. H&L is failure and starting over and surpassing oneself, about treading new grounds with the 4Lo, it hasn't been skated even close to cleanly, and the choreography is still changing and maturing in its own organic way. Part of this program is the hope that he can skate it cleanly at Worlds and thus, establish his legacy :biggrin:

Here's to your ever growing crown, Yuzuru Hanyu.
 
When I think of iconic men's short programs at Olympic Games in the 21st century I only think of Yagudin's "Winter" and Yuzu's PW. I cannot remember anyone else's.... both pieces of music are quite unique and unused previously in skating (top level, anyway), so I hope Jeff finds something like that... something that will become instantly recognizable as "yuzu's music" just like those other pieces belong to those skaters.
 
That suspiciously Yuzuru-looking YT account has a Chopin piece under "スケート曲"...

I'm really tempted to believe that Yuzuru used this account... who else would have a playlist named hope and legacy 11 months ago?? Or maybe it's just my wishful thinking to finally have found a social media account that belongs to Yuzu :p Wish there was more activity....

If it is his account, I guess he likes KARA?

By the way, the Yuzu fan fest already surpassed 13M views!!!!! :hb::party2::hap85::love:

Now when did that happen?:scratch3: Or did I miss the party?:scratch3:
 
Sorry couldn't find that reply but thank you to whoever that recommended Thomas Bergersen! That entire "Sun" album is pretty awesome, I personally really enjoy it. and I can imagine how beautiful Empire of Angels will be.

With Yuzu, he's 22 years old. And I think we'll see some even greater things from him... but we'll have to wait and see *chuckles*.

@michlmint said people wondered if Yuzuru would change his layout because of problems with the 4S3T

Oh Brian honey, the key is alignyour feet with your shoulders, flex the legs and tuck in the pelvis: Your hips will be free to move without moving your torso!! :laugh:
Also wow, Yuzu really likes to imitate people. His english sounds exactly like Brian :laugh:

Regarding 4S3T:
"With Yuzu, there's no going back, there's no safety net."
Brian also asked Yuzu to take out the 4lo at first, but Yuzu felt that he had to make the quad his normal jump. And Brain fully supported his decision.

Brian also said he got angry when he read negative posts on Yuzu and/or Javi.
