Oh, wow!!!! Such great news indeed!!
:clap: :clap: :rock: :rock: :rock: :nana::nana::nana::nana::jump3::jump3::love4::love4::love4::yes2::yes2::yes2:

And it seems it will be the first outing for Yuzuru after his "maintenance" period!! Wow!
I kept hoping it would come around! But tickets will be even more of a bloodbath than usually.
And we will know the cast tomorrow, right? And the mystery announcement just two days later?
Yuzu was not idling around ;)

Not only tickets: I read that Sendai hotels are already sold out for these dates... probably to people who plan a visit in the hope of also getting a ticket through the sales lotteries...

This always happens, wherever his shows are. And people are even more eager to see (and welcome!) him him after the maintenance time ❤️
 
How can people who don't live in Japan take part in the lottery?
For Notte they would usually provide a separate link to enter the lottery for international fans where they accept international cards. There was also a trip+tickets package service offered picking you up from Tokyo Central Station, with a hotel in Sendai, bus service to the venue, the rehearsal and show tickets included which I think was available outside of the lottery, on the first come-first served basis. We'll see how they go about it this time when we expect even more interest than usually as there are no Yuzuru solo shows this winter. We will post here as soon as they announce the details. :)
But surely there will be something, Yuzu is always mindful to take care of his internationals fans :rock:

Thank you! I'll be in Japan in March and would like to see the show. Don't want to miss the lottery for international fans

I hope you can get a ticket! Bear in mind that if even you miss out on the live show (and crossed fingers you don't), many of Yuzuru's are concurrently shown in cinemas so fans can watch on the big screen along with other fans.

Indeed JTB has packages this year again:


Here's their page, I hope that it's not against GoldenSkate's rules:

They're not reputed for choosing fancy hotels but at this stage, a very ordinary business hotel in Sendai at these dates is a trove...
 
NNN TV put up a video on their YouTube official channel with its piece of news on the Towa Pharmaceutical Notte Stellata 2026 announcement by Yuzuru and on their website along with a short article (both available for machine translation/subtitling).
From Yuzuru:
"This show is a skating show in which I pray for recovery from the Great East Japan Earthquake and for recovery from the many natural disasters that have occurred across the country. I hope that we skaters can support each other, become a circle beyond nationality, and create one hope."



 
I hope that David Wilson is coming back too!

Honestly, I hoped that the guest would be announced today, as I see no other date in the calendar... Maybe they're not sure yet?

Of course the news is making it into the newspapers, here online:

The mystery guest is to be announced on December 14, as far as I understand, So it is the day after tomorrow.
Just a little bit of patience :)

An English language article on Notte Stellata 2026 by Daily Online bringing another quote from Yuzuru:
"I want people to feel hope, even if just while we're performing, or while they're watching Notte Stellata. I want to be the catalyst for that. That's what Notte Stellata is all about. Together with my fellow skaters, I hope we can transcend nationalities and become one circle, and create a single hope. I feel it's important to convey to children who were born after the Great East Japan Earthquake, and to children who are too young to remember it, how terrible the disaster was, and what we've learned because of it."

A1su_Team posted a beautiful translation of Yuzuru's statement for NNN TV for their announcement of NS 2026.

Yuzu:
"It’s a show in which I skate while praying for the recovery from the Great East Japan Earthquake, and also for the recovery from the many natural disasters that occur all over the country.

Narrator:
From March 7th next year, a three-day ice show, Hanyu Yuzuru Notte Stellata will be held in Miyagi, one of the disaster-stricken areas. Hanyu-san, who was himself affected by the disaster in Sendai, serves as the show’s lead. Next year marks the fourth installment of this ice show, whose theme is “Sharing hope from the disaster-hit region.” Top skaters from Japan and abroad are scheduled to participate.

Yuzu:
"I hope that we skaters can support one another, come together as one—beyond nationality—and create a single circle of unity to bring forth a united light of hope".
