No, Tommmy, it's mostly not about TV commercials but about sponsorship in return of the right to use the athlete's image. So, yes, who knows, he might appear somewhere. A bunch of top athletes belong to this "Gold Partner" program. I am actually a little surprised that only now he made the list. I honestly thought he is already in after Nice and all that Tohoku stuff. Speed skater Kato is mentioned in this particular article. Among others Kohei Uchimura comes to my mind, without checking the net, together with another gymnast Rie Tanaka, as well as Ryosuke in swimming, Saori Yoshida in wrestling, Sakura Japan national team. And of course- Daisuke Takahashi and Mao Asada.Great news!! :yay:
Does that mean we can see Yuzuru's TV commercials, right?

He puts so much emotion to the skating. The song is a message song. It can be a message for everyone, but I think he is sending a message particularly to his fellow Tohoku people as the lyrics go "Don't give up." "Keep living." He is sometimes in tears when he skates to it.
I posted this in a minor thread, so sorry for double posting. But anyway -- I uploaded subs for the NHK documentary on Yuzuru Hanyu. Two other Youtube users have kindly filled in the gaps and corrected the mistakes.

Any more comments/corrections are welcome! I am currently working on translating a shorter interview, and I hope you wouldn't mind if I post the Youtube links here, as well.
thank you so much for your fantastic translation!!
Certainly I hope his canadian team will understand him better , which probably (and synthetically) means to try to close the cosmic distance existing between “Hello I love you” and “Hana ni nare”..
I think that by choosing a different gala program for NHK and Nationals (both of which were held in Japan) and a different encore in Nationals (he performed Romeo and Juliet, instead of his SP), he was sending a message, perhaps unintentionally. I think he knows that they're trying to change him into something he's not.

I hate his Canadian team for forcing him to mature so rapidly. Orser himself said that has to come naturally, but I think they're rushing him. They want him to become "one of the men", without thinking about what it is that makes him so special -- his youth and his passion.

I came across this video of 15-year old Hanyu; his reaction to Daisuke's performance is so cute!

. It was in Stars on Ice, i.e. in Kurt's shows (two in Osaka). Of course he performed the EX that Kurt did for him, it would be rude not to. The moment he was "alone" on the following days, he performed "Hana nina re" in Nagoya Festival, skated rather well but was clearly out of breath at the end. Then on the next day at JSC he skated SP and fell on all jumps passes, according to twitter. Anyway, it will be broadcasted on Feb 3, so we'll be able to see. One thing is for sure- he can't keep a few shows straight due to too much physical demand form him. And no one in his Canadian team seems to care.he did perform Hello I Love You too at the ice shows following Nats)

Although I think it's nice of him to pick a popular Japanese song for competitions in Japan (he did perform Hello I Love You too at the ice shows following Nats) and some variety for encore is good.
Actually I think he kinda mess up some shows for no particular reason.I remember some skating fans laughed about his poor performance back in 2010 summer ice shows,they claimed he use the ice show for parctice. Anyway,I get used to that.It's hard to tell what was Orser's team planning for him during this period. Do you have reports on it?
