I think the SP is "Aki ni yosete". Johnny skated to it in the past

Edit: Actually SP will be "Otonal" by Raúl di Blasio

Okay, he managed it - all the guessing and speculating and everything, and he still picked things no one thought of. He's let his fanboy side out and how...!

Yes!!! Best choreographers for him, so even if they are a new type of recycling they'll probably be wonderful.

This part reveals it:

フリーはエフゲニー・プルシェンコ（ロシア）の伝説的なプログラム「ニジンスキーに捧ぐ」をアレンジした曲で「Ｏｒｉｇｉｎ（オリジン）」と名付けた。ショートプログラム（ＳＰ）はジョニー・ウィアー（米国）がフリーで使った曲「秋によせて」を選んだ。

"The free program is an arrangement of Evgeny Plushenko (Russia)'s legendary program, "Tribute to Nijinsky," which is called "Origin." For his short program (SP), he chose "Otonal", a song that Johnny Weir (USA) used as his free."

 

[cruzceleste]

So programs in honor of his idols... very Yuzuru like, yet nobody could have guessed...

4A this season!!!! Bye bye to flip and lutz!!!!! Otonal and Nijinsky!!!!

Literally Yuzu manages to make my jaw drop whatever he does

 

[yude]

He says his recovering from injury has been going well, he has not landed 4A yet but all other jumps including 4Lo got better than even before the Olympics.

A 4A! That’s amazing I can’t wait to see if he can pull it off in competition! [emoji44] Those music choices sound really interesting, I need to go and listen to them now! [emoji4]

 

[hanyuufan5]

Very interesting... Evgeny Plushenko and Johnny Weir were my favorite male skaters before Yuzu. There's just something about both of them that stands out to me. I guess part of why Yuzu's skating strikes me as so heavenly is because of their influence in addition to how wonderful he is on his own.

 

[yude]

The music sounds so familiar

[yoloaxel]

I'm happy that he's obviously doing 2 pieces that he really wants to skate to despite them not being too 'audience friendly' - I'm sure he's gonna own them!

 

[Sorrento]

I understand his reasons but OMG... Yuzu...

Thanks for translating that piece. I think after the excitement about the music and seeing the 4A mention was done, I started immediately worrying that I didn't see mentions of a lutz or flip in the layout. I can't wait to see what these programs look like.

bye bye, 3F :sad21:

SP's layout is 4S, 3A, 3T3T. Is 3T3T typo or he does really go for it?

Thank you!



He said that those songs were kind of like the beginning or origin of his skating career, so he wants to put those feelings into his performance. Well, maybe not those in specific, but the theme is basically the origin of his life as a skater.

I would assume it's 4T3T ahah, I don't see why he would downgrade like that considering he has 4T in his FS

 

[Yatagarasu]

That 3-3 is a typo for sure. 4T-3T like last season.

I have to be more precise here, he says "ループまでは" so it can be taken as he has not been doing 4Lz OR he has been doing it but not so great as other jumps.
