Yuzuru Hanyu: 2018-2019

[yude]

I like Queen, too, the band has pretty good songs and it was one of the bands really loved Japan I think Machida had EX of "Don't stop me now" and it seems that Yuzuru has memorized the choreography already (well, perhaps partially). "Somebody to love" would be awesome

Ah, my apology then. Is it not allowed in Fan Fest? I can edit it out if it can offend people.

It seems fine to me...

I LOVE Queen, don't get me wrong, but BR is a bit on the existential side for me to visualize it as a program. Just imagining some pretty cringey choreography to try to match the lyrics. Maybe Don't Stop Me Now would be okay and the lyrics actually fit him pretty well, but it's still hard to envision as a program.

Lee June-hyoung had a pretty cool Bohemian Rhapsody FS last season.

It's perfectly fine. He is a bit of troll.

I will NEVER EVER forget this EX finale: Yuzu singing along with "Don't stop me now"

1:35 "I'm a sex machine ready to reloooooaaaaad" ----> Yuzu jumping a 4T

1:55 "I wanna make a supersonic woman of YOU" ----> Yuzu wiggling his hip and pointing somewhere (into the crowd?) + air guitar right after

5:18 "Don't stop me. Don't stop me. Whoaaaaah" Yuzu bursting out of the group, slipping on the knees and playing air guitar again


That was soooooo legendary!! I want to hug that person a 1000 times who recorded this


#Sidenote: There are so many epic Queen songs... Innuendo, one vision, under pressure, I want it all (Theme Song in PyeongChang this year), who wants to live forever, somebody to love... they all fit Yuzu's personal story in a way

Queen is nice, but how about some Rolling Stones I can´t get no satisfaction

List of the best rock songs, so anyone can pick their own venom

Whole Lotta Love would be a fitting successor to Lets Go Crazy.

 

[Ulrica]

Oh my god, yes, please Yuzu skate to something by Queen, preferably Killer Queen I would also love for him to skate to El Laberinto del Fauno's soundtrack, preferably this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdKC1V66O-4 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zskjiGDiJ-I
Or Hugo's soundtrack, I think this would make for a beautiful short program; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXaAbjkZOcI
I'm also waiting for someone, anyone, to skate to the Cloud Atlas theme song, gosh I have so many music suggestions

There's a fine line between calling somebody "a bit of a troll" and mocking someone's name into a nickname. I find the latter very inappropriate.

 

[dust2202]

I vote for violin music if he is going the classic route!

i love that idea. i also want something casual like Parisian Walkways. I love that kind of boyish style of him

I wouldn’t be against violin music, but maybe something more contemporary

He really can't stop himself, can he? :luv17: It was back in 2015 GPF...feel like it was recent. Time flies

Among the Japanese artists, I like "The last emperor" by Ryuichi Sakamoto. (wait, is this warhorse?)

And this is my annual post, I love to see Yuzuru skates to LOTR

Is 'Zu disrespectful? Zuzu? They sound pretty infantilizing to me.

They're fan-given nicknames. They're all dumb, but hardly disrespectful.

Dumb is a very strong word, maybe juvenile :giveup:

Cute, you mean.

 

[kiches]

I think most of the nicknames fans use are meant to be form of endearment, even if it's casually poking fun at times it's always in a playful manner and not meant as a slur. The troll nickname wasn't used to be offensive, but I can see why some people may have mistaken it that way.

On the topic of music, when I think jazz I think of Sing, Sing, Sing which Yuzu seems to love. I feel like that might be what he considers jazz. Has Jeff choreographed any jazz SPs in the past (I feel if jazz is going to happen it'll be a SP)?

 

[cruzceleste]

Cute, you mean.

I don’t find them particularly cute, and it looks to me like they were giving from a very young person, don’t think they are offensive, but since Yuzuru like to be called Yuzu don’t think there is a need for another nickname...
