Yuzuru Hanyu: 2019-2021

I'm not expert enough to judge the reports coming out from the practice but it seems like - for his first skate on shared ice since March! - it went well.

Aaaand the programs have been announced
SP - Let Me Entertain You - not sure if it's Queen or Robbie Williams, the former would be... wow. Choreography by Jeff Buttle
FS - Heaven and Earth, choreography by Shae Lynn Bourne

Your guesses on the SP make more sense than mine, haha, my tired mind went to the song from the musical Gypsy that eventually becomes the lead's strip routine...
 
Omg I hope it's the Queen song!!!!! It would kind of be like something in-between Let's Go Crazy and Parisian Walkway, which I'm totally down for. And going back to the traditional Japanese instrumental...just YES. He seems like he's in a really great spot mentally and in control, which makes me feel less nervous for the year.

The mere idea of Yuzu doing a striptease on skates would make the internet melt down AND blow up all at once :rofl:
 
Twitterverse is speculating this is Hanyu's FS. The title fits and the details (Euro x Asian mix, Japanese instruments) match up.

Wow, I hope this is it!...it is truly unique. Such a captivating blend of Japanese and European, with both a grand and ethereal feel...I know it's a specific soundtrack with its own story but to my uninformed ear it sounds like the soundtrack to an epic outer space saga, one that contains adventures but also tugs at heartstrings. The sequences, harmonies, and lush orchestral washes of sound, with the soaring melodies and grand percussion at just the right moments...just EPIC EPIC EPIC! I'm amazed I've never heard this piece before, it's so emotionally moving. I will seriously cry this week if he skates to this...almost crying just listening to it.
 
Not sure how reliable this is, but someone in a Facebook group said that, per Instagram, the FS music is by Kitaro so it could be Heaven and Earth by Kitaro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?fbcli...sfioszupLAS2BA&v=qzi7zl4670Y&feature=youtu.be

It is going to be a gorgeous program no matter what, but man, the suspense!!!
The Kitaro piece is lovely, but from the comments, it is from a movie about Vietnam, not Japan? I do think Yuzu will have chosen something specifically Japanese: I think the other one you suggest is a great possibility (and gorgeous)

I didn't know that about the Kitaro piece. I think you're right, for sure.
 
"Let me entertain you", "Heaven and Earth", I listened to all 4 versions you had mentioned and I have no problem whatever Yuzuru skates to :dance3:I can't stop thinking about the COSTUME !
 
We can watch opening ceremony and SP drawing here, it will start in 40 minutes.

 
We'got the final answer, Fuji has showed some parts of run-through and he was skating to this piece!!!

Amazing!

Impressed at how the Twitterverse ID-ed the music just based off scant details and before practice footage was released.
