After seeing all the photos at the Enyuukai, I guess Yuzu's 3% fat portion is all on his face. And I can't help but laughing when some women around him started to squeezing on his cuteness, hahaha.

I know! Actually I was kind of annoyed at that one particular woman behind him who squealed and told him to turn around.
I hope he's enjoying the attention rather than get stressed since it doesn't look like it's going away for a while...

That's so admirable. I hope he can share his secret with Yuzuru.

I have the translation concerning Hanyu and Oda's interview : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUtfG4gbmo8
Great thanks to Mii9000 who took time to translate the interview ! Graceful Mii9000 !
Nobu: Please sit down. (laugh)
Yuzuru: (laugh) What is this beginning? How are you going to teat me?
Nobu: I was told to have some free conversation (with you).
Yuzu: Oh, we are going to have a free conversation then?
Nobu: But I am not good at that, so (I just hope to help you talk?)
Yuzu: Oh, does that mean I can talk whatever I want?
Nobu: So, how’s it going? (laugh)
Yuzu: Well, what do you mean by IT? (laugh)
Nobu: The season has ended and you are having more time to relax now. So what changed after getting the OG gold?
Yuzu: The things surrounding me have changed a lot, but I myself have not changed much. So, it just felt like I had one extra competition at the end of the seasons and it has ended.
Nobu: Well, but the OG that you were working hard for… oh, congratulations for your gold.
Yuzu: Thank you. Such a late congrats (laugh).
Nobu: Sorry to say it after such a long time. (laugh)
Yuzu: Well, but talking about the gold, well, I did aim for it, but now I have it,.., well, my performance was really regrettable, so…
Nobu: But, I was watching it and it was so intense.
Yuzu: No, it was not. (Nobu was saying “yes, it was”.) But I was very nervous.
Nobu: I know. I was too. (Both laugh.)
Yuzu: But, really, there is something (about the OG).
Nobu: I know, the athletes all work hard to go there. It is the dream stage for them. But, it is not the dream stage, but it is their battle stage, actually. I don’t think I understood that. I was rather satisfied with being on my dream stage. Anyway, enough of my story.
Yuzu: But, I think I can sympathize with your story. I didn’t have much time before the team even, but even before I went to Sochi, I tried to think this was not my dream stage, but it was just another competition in which I have to give my performance. I tried hard to convince myself that way.
Narration: One thing that played a role in his victory is his quad jumps. The stability of his 4 jumps is one of the best in the world.
Yuzu: I am confident with my 4 toe loop.
Nobu: You jump that jump one after another. When we practice for an ice show together, you start to jump quads after 10 min (after they started). We usually jump 3 axels after we do warm-ups, but you jump 3 axels in your warm-ups, so we go like “hold on, Hold On, HOLD ON” (laugh) Can you tell me how to do that? How do you jump? How do you jump 3 axels?
Yuzu: 3 axels.. well, it is like crashing into a wall.
Nobu: Crashing into a wall?
Yuzu: So there is a straight wall and it is like you jump along the wall tightly.
Nobu: You jump along the wall tightly…hmmm, well I am going to teach my students like that. Thank you. (laugh)
Yuzu: (laugh) Is this really necessary?
Next topic (3:47) the 4 loop
Nobu: So now you can jump 4 loop.
Yuzu: You’ve got the latest news, haven’t you?(laugh)
Nobu: Yup, the latest news.(laugh)
Narration: What Hanyu is trying is 4 loop, which is more difficult than 4 toe loop. No one has succeeded in a competition.
Nobu: Kanako, when we saw you jump (4 loop), went like “Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh.” She kept on saying that. How is it? How do you feel (when you do that)?
Yuzu: Well, like I said, you can jump like “whoosh”.
Nobu: I don’t get that “whoosh”. I don’t understand that feel.
Yuzu: There is one thing I now understand through practicing 4 loop. My 4 sal is getting stable since I started practicing 4 loop. I think the crucial techniques for 4 loop is the same as those of 4 sal, and maybe as those of 4 toe loop and since I can focus on those, my 4 sal is getting better.
Nobu: I see, so your 4 sal is affecting on your 4 loop?
Yuzu: Yes, I think so.
Nobu: But, really, do not rash. You did that jump in a show, so everyone wants to see that, but take your time and don’t get injuries.
Yuzu: (nodding) whether I put that jump in a competition is a difficult decision. There are many skaters who can jump 4 loops so far, but they only do up until 4 sal (nobody has done 4 loop, yet), so I should take many things like my physical strength into consideration.
Nobu: Yup, exactly.
Narration: And at last, Hanyu, who has become an Olympic gold medalist at the age of 19, talked about his future.
Nobu: So, you became an OG gold medalist, and what lays beyond that for you?
Yuzu: Well, the gold included, too, so everything happened this season are those of this season. When the new season starts, the competitions will have the same titles(names), but they will be held in different places, different rinks and the participants will be different. Sochi is Sochi and Pyongchang is Pyongchang. They are not the same. For example, the winner of Torino could not win at Vancouver. Things had changed for those 4 years between Torino and Vancouver. So I think the same will happen (between Sochi and Pyongchang). But in such a change, if the level of the Japanese men’s team goes up and so does that of other countries skaters, it is very exciting to see how the next era will be. And in that situation, I will be very motivated to do my best. Everyone will get better and the next generation will get better. That is one of my dreams.
Nobu: Yeah, so everyone will get better together.
Yuzu: Yeah, and your pupils (will/should) get better.
Nobu: Yes, I should be raising good next generation skaters. I should not be appearing in all those TV shows. (laugh)
Yuzu: (laugh) You are damn right.
Nobu: I think we were Okayed. (laugh) Thank you. Oh, well, I was so nervous and my palms sweated so much. (lauch)
Yuzu laughing so hard.
Nobu: I am not good with free conversations. I am good at giving jokes.
Yuzu: Well, then, give us one.
Nobu: You want one? (He showed his gag and Yuzu collapsed not because it was funny, but because it was not really funny.

I translated some tweets from Asahi Shimbun journalist (@shimaykkkt) regarding the informal press conference he had after meeting the emperor.
1) Re: speaking with the Emperor
I was very nervous. But he spoke to me ever so nicely that I felt happy and honored.
2) Re: speaking with Princess Mako
Today was Princess Mako's first Garden Party so she said she was nervous. I told her that I'm good at being nervous during skating.
3) Which made you more nervous, the Olympics or today?
I was more nervous today. It was nervousness different(?) from skating. My legs were shaking.
4) I'm very happy that I was invited to such an event as the garden party at the age of 19. I hope to deliver performances that will deserve getting invited to this event again.
And here are some pictures from Asahi Shimbun.

Not that I mind the age gap but I hope not.
Pricess Kako is the same age as Yuzuru http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Kako_of_Akishino and she was a figure skater, we know Yuzu want to date a figure skater. And if is not Kana I wouldn´t mind Kako
Yuzusan that interview was hilarious, Nobu is the best interviewer, they should let him interview more skaters, I am sure we would get to hear many interesting questions and answers
I would like to feel the same passion of figure skating in my country ...
Like that, we will have more relevant and funny commentators than currently. And figure skating will attract more people. Unfortunately, Brian Joubert is retired and even when he was on the game, he didn't give to us the same passion that Hanyu gives now. So Yuzuru consoles me ^^
