You mean Nozomi Okuhara the 2016 OG bronze medalist? She's good. Congrats to Japan women for winning this years Uber Cup! Great achievement beating favs China.
Badminton is a more popular sport in my country so I follow it more than FS.
Yes, it is she. Yuzuru has inspired some badminton players according to their interviews. It's great Japanese players are now getting stronger including male players.
Did he attend the concert?
No, he didn't, and his video was showed in the concert. I think he moved to Nagano after the award ceremony so he'll be able to participate in morning practice today before the show.
Why is her name in hiragana?
I really like his voice when he speaks normally. I don't know how to explain it but in his polite talks to press his voice is a bit soft to my ears but when he talks normally to other people his voice is so bright and clear. And, in the case of the latter he always talks in a manner that says "hey I know I'm the cool guy here"
I guess her parents meant something on using hiragana and I also wonder what they did
We don't always have to use kanji for naming, so hiragana name is common. About Yuzuru's voice and the way he talked in the video with Miho, yes, he sounded very 23 year old normal guy speaking with the same old aged person, which I also like
I started feeling like we might have to wait till summer to know about the programs, even though it will be very very nice if we can know or see one of those in FaOI. I think he will come back to Japan in the end of August for 24 hours TV. Official announcement has not been made yet, but I'm almost sure he will appear in that program.
