There has been something a bit strange during the tickets resale for RE_PRAY in Miyagi, with people unable to attend reporting that their tickets hadn't been resold, and participants to the resale lottery having not succeeded, and a bug was suspected; then there has been a (very brief, I suppose) sale on a first come, first serve basis in the Lawson convenience stores, which may be those resale tickets:

The Yuzuru Hanyu cherry tree in the Nanakita Park in Sendai has more and more blossoms:

The 2024 Park Day for Sendai being held there today 6th and tomorrow, and with the probable affluence of visitors for RE_PRAY in Miyagi tomorrow and 9th, the full bloom of the tree will have many admirers!

Yuzuru does hold ALL the records for solo ice shows, Henni is quite right!

And I'm not holding my breath for a challenge

A youtube review of GIFT, but someone who isn't a skating fan but does reviews of Disney+ shows, and was blown away

This is great news. And, as this is News Every, they might put it up on their YouTube channel afterwards, as they did with his other vids, please, please.

Yeah! David Wilson really comes across as not just a choreographer but a true fan indeed. I noticed it happens often with people who work with Yuzuru - they get captivated both but his talent and his personality. "He has unmatched charisma. Many skaters can jump but very few have this ability to win the audience's hearts. Charisma is something you can not learn. It comes from within" - truly golden words, David, thank you!

As to the Guinness Book, I think that it would need some "cleaning" of fake World Records and World Firsts in Figure Skating before entering new records...

Photographer Yoshiki Koumi and designer Toshiyuki Koyima, authors of "Y", photo book of Yuzuru Hanyu, a great success, gave a lecture which had 210 paying attendants; this lecture has been filmed and is now available on a pay-per-view basis (2,750¥) in the Sponichi web site:

Seems like we have entered an unofficial festival of Yuzuru photoshoot and backstage footage presentations by his sponsors
I don't mind, I simply love it. As for me it could go on forever and ever, he's just such a great model

To be pragmatic, I think that they're "playing safe" with such footage, knowing how fans and even casual viewers enjoy these videos.

The mascot drama is back, and it's becoming serious. Guriri has been to the Sekkisui Heim Super Arena in Rifu near its hometown Sendai, where RE_PRAY in Miyagi is in rehearsals:

But that's not all! Guriri managed to get into Yuzuru Hanyu's arms:

Chinese fanartist Qian Baiwan is in Sendai! I'm so happy that they got tickets, their fanart is so beautiful that they really deserve it!

I hope that they can also see Yuzuru Hanyu's cherry tree in the Nanakita Park, it was already magical last evening:

This must be so funny to have whole planes arriving full of strangers wearing the same clothes (and maybe some of them have also the same backpacks and the same suitcases....

I'm afraid that the Gucci suitcase from the Elle/Gucci photo shoot (3,800$ if I remember well) must not be that common among fans. But I'm sure that there are a few (and the custom officers must wonder why).

Here's a QianBaiwan fanart picture to celebrate post n°5000 and the author's arrival in Sendai:
