I hadn't seen these photos yet, I think that they're from AnAn?

“Hang it in the Louvre” except it legitimately looks like an oil painting you’d find in a fine arts gallery.

A special conversation between photographer Toshimiki Komi [I think that it's Yoshiki Kogaito] and art director Toshiyuki Kojima [if the transcription is right], who passionately discuss Hanyu’s legacy from the perspectives of photography and design":

In the future there are gonna be creative artists doing PhDs on him, I swear - as well as sports historians.

Quadruple Axel has also an interview of Costume Maker Taketoshi Hara, with bits of his latest lectures:

And there's also an interview of Yoshiki Kogaito, particularly about the Photon Exhibition at the Ryosokuin Temple in Kyoto:

It happens that the conversation was recorded for streaming, at the Kuwasawa Design School, no less, which students could attend live:

スポーツニッポン新聞社から発行された『Photon 羽生結弦写真集』の対談動画公開収録が学内で行われ、桑沢生も特別に聴講する機会をいただきました。こちらの対談は、有料配信プラットフォーム「teket」にて期間限定で配信予定です。 https://t.co/Nbw8w8gCXE

This does go in the direction you're foreseeing.
It's clear too, that the attendants are examining Photon as connoisseurs of Printing and Photographing techniques...

Here's from Gucci Japan

everyone seems to think they are trolling us and their big day on July 19 must be somehow Yuzu-realatred as this is the Pro-Anniversary and hard to believe it a pure coincidence. So, interesting bit about the Japan-exclusive colours. Yuzuru-Blue, anyone?

Magill · 2026-07-17T17:28:58-0400

I could not agree more with this take on GOL (it comes from the Quadruple Axel Special Edition interview, I think).
As someone who cares a great deal about good lyrics and deeper meanings, I really truly appreciate so much Yuzuru's great choices in this department. And GoL's lyrics are really great and fit the show so well, second only to Masquerade, I think.

... speaking of which, any excuse to rewatch GoL is good

Hochi are doing a 3-part interview for Yuzu's anniversary :love4:

And Phiten are issuing this beautiful ring

Magill · 2026-07-18T03:26:29-0400

Tianjin, China, celebrating the Pro-Anniversary with a big screen display now, this year like every year....
It is amazing how much Yuzu is loved in China...
