Yuzuru Hanyu: 2013-14 Season

Tonights Sapporo Show, Yuzu Skated Hana ni nare, did a 3A and after the finale, tried a 4T and fell. He looked around and asked, what, no one else is going to try? No one else tried. It seems the performers are a bit tired from the long trip to Sapporo.
-From various Tweets from the audience.

He seems to always want to jump no matter the circumstance. Wow ... even after a long exhibition, he still attempts quads ... :eek:


Reading the posts from audience of SSOI Sapporo last night is quite pleasant.

A woman observed Yuzu’ fever penetrating all-range fans, no matter the sex and age. She mentioned an aged, elegant auntie sitting in front keeping calmly all the time till Yuzu showed up. And then, she waved and cheered excitedly.

Another one commented that Yuzu is a hot “topic” between audience even they are strangers. After show, the bus and metro were crowded. All talked about this fantastic boy, his performance, gestures, smile face, speed, power and jumps of course. Yuzu’ name is non-stopping in the air.

Among a young couple, the man extremely excitedly explained the jumps Yuzu did to his girlfriend. Some other men around happily joined the discussion with them.

What a wonderful world! Bring the joy to the people who admire him. Go ahead and take care yourself, Yuzu.

It's sure different in Yuzu's home country Japan, everyone seems to love him and admire him no matter male or female, young or old. I'm actually glad that in Canada, it's not like that at all because Yuzu can live like a normal person when he takes the bus/subway and walks home in the Toronto area (if he does).

The contrast in popularity (in daily life, walking in public) probably keeps him grounded and maybe even a bit relieved; hopefully when he trains at the Cricket Club, people won't be 'in-his-face' about being his fan. One question: isn't the rink he skates at not open to the general public?

Also, with the topic of Japanese media -what if they travel to Toronto to stalk him during practice when the April ice show season ends? :sarcasm: :laugh: I can imagine that happening, look at all the times a video is filmed in the Cricket rink! (i.e. documentaries, interviews, photos taken, etc)

Thanks for all the great topics discussed in this thread! The comments are really fun to read. ;)
 
I think that rink is only for their club members and not open to the public.

About the media fever, it usually comes and goes very quickly. The fever should cool down when something else like the soccer WC in May comes up. Hopefully he is able to get some peace by then :)

And since this is my first post here, I am just trying to say hello to everyone here. I am trying to read from the first page of this thread and it looks like a big project :)
 
Hi winterbell!
Seems like nobody is here at this time of the day and I always miss out on the fun discussions during my sleep time.

I think someone was asking about the broadcasting of Osaka Exhibition on TV on April 12 somewhere above.
It will be on Kansai TV on April 12 from 3pm.

I don't get this channel so hopefully someone can put it up somewhere :bow:

My finds from yesterday:

Kozuka's blog with the full version of Yuzuru missing Pooh. Who knew he was on his knees?

Mikaboo, yuzu on his knees is even more kawaii! Too bad Javi's Instagram was not able to capture everything.

Thanks for all the video links. I particularly found the one on the news commentator aunties very hilarious.
 
Re Yuzuru's appeal to older women, I'm sharing this post by cinammon in another thread ;):

I saw a Japanese TV commercial called "People of Yamada family" casting Coach Machiko, Coach Minoru Sano, Midori, Mao, Daisuke, Yuzuru...

Grandma (Machiko) announces that she is getting married. New grandpa (Yuzuru) is introduced to the family, Mao is impressed, "he is younger than me..."
