Can you imagine how glorious a costume like this would look on Yuzu? Je would totally rock it.

If I remember correctly, Kento Yamazaki had already said that he had been inspired by Yuzuru Hanyu's interpretation of Seimei? But today there's also the director, and he detailed in what:

But that's a purple costume. Is it a thing of the past on Yuzuru Hanyu?

As to the visual producer of GIFT at Tokyo Dome, Mizuki Ohno Geek Pictures, he's received the JAC Award 2023 for his work on the show:

At elementary school and junior high school, Yuzuru Hanyu went to his neighbourhood's, Nanakita (Izumi ward, Sendai), but it became increasingly difficult with his Figure Skating training schedule — let's not forget that he became Junior World Champion and Junior Grand Prix Final Gold Medallist at only 15, while other Junior World Champions are usually 17 or 18 (this while maintaining high grades, without cramming school by the way).
As there was a high school in Sendai, aimed at high level athletes, adapting to their schedules, Yuzuru Hanyu and his parents opted to register him there, furthermore SHizuka Arakawa, Olympic Gold Medallist in 2006, had studied there.
The Tohoku High School has erected a small monument to these two illustrious alumni:

And a "thank you" post for Yuzu from David Wilson. He's become such an intrinsic part of Notte Stellata like the skaters themselves.
Thank you, David

This could be useful - time zones for the broadcast today!

Thank you for linking!
The GUCCI brand ambassadorship deal is such a great cherry on the delicious cake of his pro career so far, no doubt about it!! No matter how noisy the naysayers, he is getting not just huge love of fans and general public but also utmost recognition from the worlds of elite sport experts, art (yes, art), science, commercial entertainment, professional musicians, dancers and ballet dancers, show producers - and now, from the high fashion business There is no one like him in this sport, not even comparable, really!

He's going so much beyond what used to be (and what is, apart from him) Figure Skating, even the best! Not only in technique and artistry (we could very well see it in his competitive career, in spite of the never seen proportions of "scoring discrepancies", but he's improved so much since, this while managing the stamina to do solo shows that must be so very much more taxing than competitions) but in show vision and realisation. Not to speak of his side, but related and by no way negligible (to get new public to the sport, and finances) modelling talent.

RE_PRAY in Saga Day 1, broadcast today by TV Asahi, had something very special: at the end of the show, after Yuzuru Hanyu's final speech,, the screen wouldn't open! So, Yuzuru Hanyu improvised a music-less step sequence from his program Goliath:

Someone has added the music to the step sequence:

Yuzuru Hanyu had a new exchange with actress Megumi Ogata about the book GIFT in collaboration with CLAMP, both felt deeply honoured...

Unfortunately, the video has now been made private (we had a bonus day, that's appreciable).

Here's Yuzu-chan on his Little-Prince-like planet, looking at the stars and Chiisai-chan:

Of course, there's also fanart about all the rest of RE_PRAY, for instance Gates of Living (or Rooster and Snake, three of the Buddhist "poisons", greed/lust and bad will, the third being the pig representing ignorance/delusion):

Oh, yes! I watched Saga Day 1 today and the door drama was a truly amusing and manga-like moment even though we already knew beforehand it would happen. And the impromptu Goliath performance is really something else! Awesome!!!
