Yuzuru Hanyu

Yuzuru will be on the cover of February issue of Sky Perfect TV Guide (out on 24 January) which will bring a feature on Re_Pray
Another amazing photo from One Summer's Day, BTW :love:

 
Yuzuru posted on his official Instagram on the occasion of 29th anniversary of the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake of January 1995.
Translation by DeepL:
"17 January.
For me, it was about a month after I was born.
I can only pray, as I have no memory of it and have not been affected. But this, too, can be presumptuous of me.
The Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake. The Great East Japan Earthquake. And the Noto Peninsula earthquake.
I hope that wounds and scars will not be erased from our memories and records. But may they be purified.
And may we be there for those who still suffer, for those who continue to suffer, and for those who have to suffer, even if only a little. We will continue to pray for you.
At the Saga performance of RE_PRAY
A Requiem for Heaven and Earth.
Hanyu Yuzuru
"

Yuzuru's message of compassion towards the victims and survivors of the 1995 earthquake (and other earthquakes) posted on his social media on its 29th anniversary and quoted above, has made it to the Japan TV news

Hey, have you ever seen this? It just appeared in my feed and I think it is just sooo great I just had to share. Baby Yuzu .... how old he could have been here? :)

I think that this is an interview he gave to a Sendai TV channel when he was 15. I think that he was already Junior World Champion (maybe the youngest among Men?) without the least overscoring...), and didn't know that he was to be the youngest Four Continents medallist a few months later...

Summer's Day photos are always amazing...
I find this one really special in highlighting several aspects of his beauty. We were speaking of his cute moments, here he's not cute at all but he's both beautiful and handsome in a "commanding sort of manner" (words which don't apply only to this particular hero).
 
Also in TV news, I think that this local TV compares the economical effects for Saga, of the inaugural concert of their Super Arena last year with B'z, and of Yuzuru Hanyu's RE_PRAY (there's no mention of Prince Ice World's "second inaugural show", there were several reports that the arena was filled with Saga people who had received free tickets, it's better than an empty venue but the effects on local economy must have been minor):

Yuzuru Hanyu has been 18 months a professional skater. How much has been achieved in such a short while, and how we have been spoiled!
Prologue (first ever solo ice show), GIFT (ice show with most spectators ever), Notte Stellata 2023 (first of its kind too, and joining the "kings of Summer and Winter Games"), two of the three stops of RE_PRAY (first solo ice show tour), and that's "just" for Yuzuru Hanyu's own shows, and says nothing of their wonderful, previously unimaginable creativity (well, the fact is that they were imagined)... Plenty of thoughtful interviews, gorgeous, innovative photo shoots, it's far too much to be expressed in words!

"A local TV programme reported on the economic effect of holding Yuzu’s ice show in Saga last week (¥487 million)" ... roughly 3,290.000 USD :rock: And that was a smaller show simply because of the restrictions on rink size!

The yuzu tea apparently, completely sold out... I hope people order online as well, apparently it is lovely, which I can believe having tried yuzu and lemon icecream at Christmas.

Yet they had to limit boughts to two packs per person on the Friday and Saturday, then to one per person on the Sunday:

As to the economical effect for Saga, it was also limited by the city's hotel capacity: many fans had to sleep in Fukuoka, the Saga hotels being fully booked, and we can suppose that they spend something more there.
