A little summary of the article credited to Yude poster from yuzuruhanyu.forumatic:

・Yuzuru thinks that he didn't realized that he had been burned off after the season ended because of many shows and events, but the cheers from the audience in the ice shows made him realize that how he had been "a mere shell of a man" (after the season ended). He was motivated by welcoming as the Olympic Champion by the crowds. And he also says that to be with top skaters inluding Plushenko was one of the factors to become real him (Yuzuru) again.

・About SP, Yuzuru liked the "feeling" very much when he had skated to piano piece for two years in his junior days, so he had been thinking about using it in the competition again. He thinks that classical music is very difficult to express because the story characteristics are vague, and that that's why he chose it to broaden his range of expression.

・Yuzuru had an idea to put 4S in SP but he thought he couldn't have risk yet. He succeeded in doing 4Lo in the practice but he said he probably won't have it in the programs. He thinks the most advanced jump to put in the programs for him is 4S. He has been challenging 4Lo and 4Ltz to raise the success rate of 4S, he thinks that he needs to take his abilities and limiting point higher.

Edit: Sorry, I had wrong information:

She is Anastasia Martiusheva (a pair with Alexei Rogonov )

I suppose they are the substitute for Tatiana Volosozhar & Maxim Trankov.
But, I have not yet checked the tweet report on Martiusheva and Rogonov performance in Niigata.


Edit: TV news on FaOI in Niigata.

Thank you!

(Edited) I just found Martiusheva and Rogonov dissolved their partnership a couple of months ago. Could this be with her new partner? Anyway, since I found out who she is, thanks again.

thank you. he really gets his energy from the people watching, if i remember he said he really loves performing in front of audiences but he needs to understand his body better because adrenaline rush wouldn't protect him from injuries.

i'm glad he could now take a break from skating shows and spend some time resting.

He is fond of chocolate. It's a common knowledge that he's a chocoholic.

I don't see it

I think I like Tatsuki best "Check me out, I don't need this. I could stand like this in front of a wind machine and not one strand of hair would dare to move."

In the magazine picture, is he the one talking about openning a skating school?

 

[Pamigena]

I would think so. Source seems to be some kind of ANA magazine or something

Hi, I just came back from Niigata today, visiting my parents and watching last night's FOI

Yuzu apologized on his knees again today. Here is a cute fan art of that. (The word above the arrow means ''exit'')

After the ending of the 2nd show, he tried to jump 4Lo twice, but he failed.(1st one: doubled, second one: fall)
Also he had shaky 3As in both of his program, ”Ballad” and "Time Traveler"; however, rest of those programs were good.

I say good, not excellent, because he performed the Ballad just after Stéphane performed Grieg's Piano Concerto, I can't help picking up Yuzuru's rough arms and postures. (and after that, I have to watch Akiko's Love Dance.,too.)
I am looking forward to see how he develops that Ballad program in few months.
Anyway I like the program and the costume, which reminded me a kind of jellyfish.

Talking about the earthquake in the morning, my parents said it was nothing by Japanese standard,
but I suspect it might be something for non-Japanese.

Did it air on TV? or did you attend FaOI show? Either way I'm so envious.

I attended FaOI in Niigata, 2nd show of July.12th.
Since Niigata's local TV station sponsored the FaOI, it might air the show on TV, but I don't really know.

 

[Pamigena]

something should be aired tomorrow, I think, but I'm not sure what, when and where I'll just wait for some nice person to upload it, as always.

Some LQ video of FaOI rehearsal on Toyama news (1) and (2)!!! Does anybody know if any of the July shows are going to be broadcasted?

In the video (2), they say the show will be aired on 14 July (Mon) from 7:00 pm on their local station.

It was confirmed at twitter of this TV station that they are NOT going to air the show

Monkey Majik talk a bit about TOI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PDa3coTrP4

They mentioned how Yuzu used Change as his exhibition when he won JW.

He said Yuzu is nice, a gentleman, cool and has a pure personality (optimistic/ always looking ahead?). He really respects him^^
