Yuzuru Hanyu: 2013-14 Season

[Doublemeat]

Glad to know that. I think part of the problem is that he started having ballet lessons late, and only when he was in Canada.

PS. You two don't happen to be twins BTW?

Haha. I remenber Yuzu said he's taken ballet lessons before, when he's only a child.And he thought ballet was a little bit feminine........so he gave up.(Well, I wonder if he ever regrets about his decision, lol.

I'm just born a month earlier [points at join date]

I saw it on a newspaper of Japan. I'm not sure if I can find it but I'll try.

Thanks for your kindness.

Here's a link of today's news interview http://twitpic.com/e0b9nf
Well, it's in Japanese. Basically, Yuzu mentioned he wants to improve his posture and expression. And he wants to chase himself even if he's a champion now. Most importantly, he said he would be carful not be injured.

【Yuzu @book】 Yuzu love to listen Japanese pop music, and sometimes he sings at bath time.

He seldom watches movies. For TV programs, he likes to watch sports and news. The Open Championship (Golf program) was an example.

Thanks again echotpe for sharing this piece showing a side of Yuzuru outside the skating rink. You apparently have a treasure trove of materials about him.

I was amused by reading he sometimes (only?) sings at bath time. As has been noted, he has a wonderful speaking voice in Japanese; he sounds so mellow and manly that I can listen to him even without understanding what he is saying. So I have always wondered how his singing sounds.

He has so much star quality in him already, imagine if he can sing well too! That would be surprising!

Some videos showed his passion for singing (apart from skating). He always had his ipod on and singing loudly before competitions... that looks hilarious to me

I am shocked to see this thread growing in such a rocket speed. Just now I has waken up from bed...... 243 pages, are you guys kidding???

And shaking his head like a rock star. I just can't help with that cuteness.

That's very different to his usual meek look, damn cute!

Ok...so it took me a while to read all the posts from last night till now - my time. When I went to bed the thread had 238 pages...now 243. Awesome!!

Well,please don't make fun of me because of what I'm going to say..but with all these costume discussions guess what I dreamed last night? Yes,yes...I dreamed that one of Yuzu's costumes for the next season was a shiny dark green one I can't remember its design,only the color :think: I think I'm going really crazy with this fangirling stuff But now I am really angry because I didn't dream his new music for the next season's programs

^Haven't seen him yet in a dark green costume; that will certainly be something new .

It is happened for me to be able to read Chinese, English and Japanese. Then I can browse very informative materials about Yuzu.

I am glad to share what interested me to all of you. Read Yuzu in all-clock angles is quite pleasant thing.

Well, it seems barely to find Yuzu’s singing sound in public. Let’s listen the song he sang before performance at Sochi Olympics.

Band: back number
Song: スーパースターになったら (became a super star)

Hey all,
I don't know if this video has been posted but I put it : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzI9tdx8MqI

And mainly, Ko Yuki has posted 4 short videos summarizing the festival : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSPRNWCh4eW0AEps2T9MtHA
If someone can translate this short interview of Hanyu at the beginning with the 3 medals on his neck : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhaydvxueKA
I repost this video that also need to translate : http://www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/x1kuzah.

Hello Yuzu san.
I translated the beginning of the interview (until 1.30) whith the parts about Yuzuru.
Enjoy.

Opening Narration:
Yesterday as part of the ice show in Nagoya yesterday the athletes all stepped onto the rink.
With three gold medals shining around his neck, Gran Prix, Olympics and Worlds we see Hanyu Yuzuru.

Yuzuru: I think this was truly a luxurious season for me. But thinking about it, even in the biggest competition, the Olympics, where I got the title, there are still a lot of things to work on and improve especially in the free program. So even though it was a wonderful season, more than that it was a valuable experience for me.

Narrator: First, Hanyu performs his Swan Lake program and for the encore….of course this melody for his world record scoring short program Parisian Walkways. When Hanyu does his trademark final pose, a huge cheer goes up from the audience. Even while showing real credentials as a champion he is already turning his focus to next season.

Yuzuru: No matter that I am Olyimpic champion I want to be the type of athlete who is able to push the sport forward by improving my skating skills and technique.

How about this? (men version ofc) It has the bling bling already just need to soften a bit and add some frills~

Anyway, I wish he will choose blue + while/silve for the next costume. They suit him the best

Like a beautiful curvy snake? It may work, send your dreamy idea to team Orser now

Many thanks again, maraming salamat, gamsahamnida echotpe! We are fortunate to be the beneficiaries of your linguistic skills.

LoL too at the title of the song: Yuzuru really knows how to motive and inspire himself. Read he also kept a digital picture of the Olympic gold medal as part of his Olympic preparation.

We've seen him in multiple tones of blue costumes, and also magenta. As for the color green, it might actually work and look good! He should totally go for it! (silver/blue still sounds promising, though)

Yuzu's Fanfest is turning into a costume prediction/suggestion thread (not that it's a bad thing).

Wow, he really pays attention at these things.
I recommend him https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adAdN5IRDMY
