REALIVE, April 11 and 12 - Yuzuru Hanyu's new show

[Wynter]

Yeah, this year was bound to be way more difficult, that's true. Sorry to hear you've lost.
But it is great what you're saying about Kenshi Yonezu fans. This was a really great collaboration for both of them, and the mixing of fandoms makes me so happy. I wonder if they ever go back to it and give us more of this wonderful duo thing, would be awesome to see them creating something together again....

It's his comeback show, an Ice Story project, and during Spring in Miyagi. People want to see him and his Sakura tree.

Hanami calendars aren't reliable yet, at the moment they're forecasting cherry blossoming from April 6th in Sendai, but even with this date, for those who have time and want to, there will be places around Sendai where sakura are still in full bloom.

Here's a little bit of Realive fanart:

Phiten is giving away 100 Realive tickets! It's a lottery among buyers. For every 15,000¥ spent on their products (I think that it applies only to those bought in Japan), buyers get a chance at the draw.
And they chose the Crystal Memories costume!

They have a new turquoise necklace to promote:

Phiten necklaces are great and they have become such an inseparable part of Yuzuru's image, and they are such a great and loyal sponsor to him!! I love this story how he chose their necklace himself and his dad bought it for him when he was still a novice, and it was only years later that they started to sponsor him. I understand and accept all the endorsements, this is how it works, but there is something truly reassuring when there is some real mutual admiration to it as it is in this case! An awesome match!

My understanding was that he had bought one when he was 9 for his father, on the occasion of Fathers' Day, but I may be wrong. He's definitely an old customer, and let's not forget that they went on providing him with toe socks when they halted the production (resumed since). I don't know what would have been his Skating Sills, had they not made this gesture.

It seems that most fans lost at the latest Realive ticket sales lottery, but that there will be another round of sales, with registrations starting on February 21st?

This fanartist, who hopes that RE_PRAY's Dark Messenger will be part of the programs Yuzuru Hanyu will skate at Realive, has "been annihilated", as Jfanyus say, at this round of lottery, and is seeking solace in ice cream, in Yuzuru Hanyu's preferred perfumes:

The registration for the general sales round of lottery (I'm afraid they have kept few seats for this one) has started yesterday, it ends soon (24th, Japan Time), here's some help in English:

Live viewing at selected cinemas and delayed viewing on April 14 across Japan has just been announced for REALIVE, like for all the previous and current Yuzuru's shows, Notte Stellata 2026 included. Great for those who fail to get the tickets, but also for those who wish to relive the experience after watching live in the venue. Great news!!!
The list of cinemas is to be revealed on the show's website on March 2.

I don't post the page itself because it might be against the rules of the forum?

The list can be found here https://liveviewing.jp/realive-icestory/ you need to scroll down the page a bit to find it.
I don't think it would be against the rules to post the whole list but it would be a bit long - it is 111 movie theatres across all of Japan (as before)
111 - as could be expected, as this is Yuzuru's favourite number

Another sponsor has just been added, Ponta Pass!
They'll be giving away 20 free tickets to their customers selected by lottery.
More info in the tweet and under the links there.

I understand that they're a coupon system working with the Lawson chain of convenience stores, in Japan and Australia I think?
Thank you for the news!

The organisers went all the way with the usual number of lotteries after all:

I'm really sorry I've just missed a last warning before the end of the registration time for the last lottery...

Of course, a few days before the shows there will be a few resale tickets and annotated seats but I think that it won't be more than a few dozens.

 

[TallyT]

REALIVE will be livestreamed!!!

 

[DizzyFrenchie]

There's going to be live viewing too, in movie theatres across Japan, on both days of the show, pre-sales end on March 18th:

That's for the fans who had reserved travel and accommodation as soon as the show was announced, and who lost at the lotteries!
