I think it is possible because they have tickets allotted to foreigners. In fact it's easier than getting tickets in Japan I heard.

IMO if it takes him a while to stabilize the 4Lz itself it won't hurt his reputation that much. I think this year what did hurt his reputation was that his loop was fine but it was the 4S (which everyone thinks of as an 'easier' jump now LOL) that gave him problems?
I have tried once for NHK this year (asked for my friends' help) and I failed. My friends told me getting a ticket to a competition with Yuzuru in it in Japan would be like winning a lottery, just a mater of luck. Unless you are willing to pay more from reseller; I think it would be easier to get one that way. GPF in Nagoya would be in a smaller venue, so it would be even harder to get one, but it won't hurt to try. You can always apply using multiple ID, and resell them if you got extra tickets from what I know. Good luck
What is the size of the stadium they'd need to build to get all the people desiring to see Yuzu?
selfish one : a stadium with one place ... just for me lol
( sorry but no mercy here )..... big? :roll9:What is the size of the stadium they'd need to build to get all the people desiring to see Yuzu?

I think they need to invent stadiums where you can sit on the roof and watch from atop because given the amount of seats that will be necessary some people will have to watch an ant-sized Yuzu skate.
LOL sorry I'm blabbering nonsense.

Saitama super arena has a capacity of 22.000-37.000 (depending on layout). They still sellout

What can I say... Yuzu in nerd mode researching how to get into "the zone" now 
let's hope he doesn't overthink 
And... I'd probably have caved and bought him tons of toys if I were Yumi-san.... 
that said, his "toys" (read: earphones) these days are so expensive.... And yes, like mcq said, ALL OF THIS IN 5 MINUTES

Yuzuru Hanyu talks about the ultimate state: “Oh, this was concentration."

How was Yuzuru Hanyu (ANA) able to bring his strength toward that critical moment of truth in a competition? In an interview with the Asahi Shimbun, he talked about the ultimate “state of concentration” he was in during the free skate portion of the World Championships in Helsinki, where he pulled off a massive reversal to win the competition.
"I think there is a difference between 'being forced to enter’ and 'to enter’,” Hanyu started off with such a unique way of expression. (* Hanyu differentiating between ireru, to put in, and hairu, to enter, which share the same kanji)
“There is a difference between consciously willing yourself to focus versus unconsciously doing so and retroactively realizing, ‘Oh, I was focused just now!’. I unconsciously entered that state during the World Championships. That was also the case during the free skate portion of 4CC."
At the FS where he caught up from fifth place in the SP, Hanyu had skated perfectly, including the element that he’d never successfully executed in the past five competitions. Immediately after, he mentioned “feeling as if (he) had leapt into the winds, the rivers, as part of nature. It was a very good kind of concentration… (He) felt (himself) gradually melding with nature, with each jump (he) landed." he said.
It was a state of complete absorption. It was different, too, from his sense of wanting to win, wanting to execute his elements perfectly, etc, after the perfectly-skated SP of the 2014 Sochi Olympic. At the time, he had said he’d like to “move forward with the good vibes anyhow” and to "tilt his state of mind toward that feeling." In sports, some athletes refer to this state of total concentration that results in > 100% performance as “entering the zone.”
Hanyu is working on trying to reproduce his state at the WC Free Skate, where he was “focused to the extent that he has forgotten the specifics of his performance.” “How to… turn it into something reproducible. What needs to be done to get into that state... It's difficult, but it’s something I have to think about from now on."
In paying attention to the “why’s”, Hanyu has improved in both technique and spirit. “Even when I was young, I’ve never been able to sit with things that didn’t make sense, and I was the type to hound and keep on asking ‘why’. And I still feel that way." This season too, he had shot back with “why” at Coach Orser’s proposal. "If I do not understand, or when things differ from my own sense of what they should be, I will definitely ask for an explanation." When he was a child, he’d often ask, “Why won’t you buy me a toy?” “Why can’t I play now?” “It began with those sorts of things, but that was probably how my way of thinking/ thought pattern came to be."
He is thinking that the upcoming World Team Trophy would be a good stage to try out methods of reproducing that state of concentration. “It hasn’t been long since the World Championships, and I’m still in that good mental state from the WC. Therefore, I think it’ll be a valuable opportunity." (Goto Taisuke)

Yeah, I just see it - a forest of telescopes along the back rows trying to catch that elusive star ant who's too quick... and colliding with each other!
Gosh, when exactly did this craze start, btw?

Unrestricted access?
That's the idea, yes. But you run the risk of being squashed, getting into a spider net or getting eaten by a hungry bird. Small sacrifices for seeing Yuzu from every possible angle.
Who was boasting they were talking nonsense... I challenge them now!!!

The part i bolded though, that's the other reason why i am looking forward to WTT (of course the other reasons are to say goodbye to PPoS and my Baby Swan </3)
I can rest on his head and be happy
