Yuzuru Hanyu

[DizzyFrenchie]

Today 25th at 1pm, there will be a "replay" of RE_PRAY in a number of Japanese movie theatres, with apparently the same merchandises as for the live streaming, I just hope that they will be less restrictive as to how much each viewer can buy:

We also have a reminder that on the anniversary of the show, on 26th, TV Asahi will broadcast GIFT:

More details on Hulu stream of Notte Stellata

 

[TallyT]

Not only will NS be livestreamed in Hulu but some rehearsals as well...

Maybe international fans can't get it, but maybe we will get videos down the track when the official stream ends...

 

[DizzyFrenchie]

These will be public rehearsals for which tickets can be bought (7,000¥ per rehearsal of 50min for those who are there, with "only" Yuzuru Hanyu, Javier Fernández and Akiko Suzuki if I understand well. I wonder if there will be shuttles for these rehearsals, from Sendai station to the venue in Rifu?

They will be on 9th and 10th, from 0:20pm to 1:10pm.

Here's an easy to read translation (one part )

Marika_yuzu could buy RE_PRAY flags at a movie theatre shop where RE_PRAY was streamed with a delay:

Here's one of these "shops" with RE_PRAY merchandise at participating movie theatres:

There's not only fanart inspired by programs, many are inspired by Yuzuru Hanyu's appearances in a RE_PRAY T-shirt, such as the black one:

Here, Yuzuru Hanyu wears the white RE_PRAY T-shirt, while chibis wearing the black one bring him his preferred food: choco-pies, Dr Pepper's, gyoza?, strawberry, something?, pudding and Pooh brings him a Ghana chocolate drink:

Art-ex have a third article: this time, it's in Haru yo, Koi! costume, which of course inspires fanart:

Is this fanart picture a suggestion for Art-ex next dolls? There's Mega-chan? (Megalovania) with Sans from Undertale, there's Gates-chan? (Gates of Living) with the rooster (greed, sensuality), the snake (ill-will) and the pig (ignorance, delusion); and there's Dark-chan? (Dark Messenger) with Pooh:

This hotel near Haneda Airport has found an original way of advertising itself on social media: reporting giant posters of Yuzuru Hanyu; the first one is at Tokyo Station, Marunouchi exit:

I have read on travel sites that when COVID hit, Japanese accommodation capacity had been raised in reason of a constant rise in foreign tourists visiting Japan. In January 2024 this number just surpassed the January 2019 and January 2020 numbers. Japanese hotels still have to exert to fill their bedrooms. I don't think that such an advertising can affect this hotel's occupancy rate for Notte Stellata (few travellers are likely to sleep in Haneda, and most are likely to have already booked an accommodation) but depending on whether or not Yuzuru Hanyu will participate in Stars on Ice and/or Fantasy on Ice this year, this advertising might fill a number of bedrooms around the dates of the shows.

Ryosk from the vlog Chikalog has watched the delayed LiveViewing of RE_PRAY in Yokohama in a movie theatre, and didn't see the time flying:

And there are so, so many other reports from happy viewers! I'm sure that it must be a very special experience.

I shouldn't be surprised if shuttles are put on, the demand is there! To see him rehearse again is a fannish dream come true.

TV Asahi reminds us that GIFT will be broadcast tomorrow, on the anniversary of the show at Tokyo Dome:

I still watch it on Disney+ regularly

Here, Yuzuru Hanyu wears the white RE_PRAY T-shirt, while chibis wearing the black one bring him his preferred food: choco-pies, Dr Pepper's, gyoza?, strawberry, something?, pudding and Pooh brings him a Ghana chocolate drink:

I adore this artist, with all those chibis she does and the fierce Pooh... her art is so much fun.

Reports confirm that Yuzu's shows have a positive impact on the economy everywhere he performs, and I'm sure that hotels and restaurants etc are thrilled to hear when he is coming. SoI and FAoI would both want him to join their shows, I hope that his team negotiate a faor price considering his draw power, conclusively proven!

I'm not surprised, it is gorgeous.

Anyone for very very very large pictures of Yuzuru?
