Yuzuru Hanyu

TallyT · Tuesday at 6:11 PM

There are some wonderful, deeply thoughtful quotes from the interviews... I love this from Mikiko

And this from Yuzuru himself...

TallyT · Tuesday at 6:20 PM

Oh, and one of the young pianists named in the "30 hot Canadian classical musicians under 30, 2026 edition" mentioned Yuzuru as his biggest inspiration, "he showed me the importance of expression that I carried into my piano playing."

TallyT · Tuesday at 6:22 PM

This is a fascination piece of fanart, we actually watch the creation...

There was a cupsleeve event in Tokyo, actually I'm sure that there has been a good number of fan gatherings as usual?

The event I evoked in my latest fanart post in the previous page, is an interview of Yuzuru Hanyu by Chinese agency XinHua on the occasion of his fourth ProVersary:

We don't like to think of him retiring for good, but he will know when the time comes.

I hadn't noticed this ProVersary post from Tim Koleto, who went to the Abe no Seimei shrine:

Actually I've missed many wishes yet I wanted egoistically to recall this...

Emanuela (@Ema_onlyyuzu) on X

And how could I ever forget this? 😭 The second we realized the Prologue website listed only "Artist: 羽生結弦" instead of "Artists," our brains collectively stopped working🙀 A one-man ice show? HOW WAS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?! And yet, he made it happen- #らじおしゅくだい 📻

DizzyFrenchie · 2026-07-23T15:35:22-0400

I'm still catching up on fanart, there were still the usual trends, but I'm at last arriving, precisely, to the preparations of Yuzuru Hanyu's fourth ProVersary:

A special fanart logo had been spread, from the REALIVE shorts look, some fanartists used it:

There was such an overflow of ProAnniversary fanart, that I think that next page will have some, if it's not full of them too, and that will be such a small part of it...

TallyT · 2026-07-23T18:13:20-0400

More art! I love how inspiring he is.

. I've shared the story before - knowing a major event was in progress, scanning the page of the newspaper that had the baseball box scores on it - hoping they put the results in there, and "spoiling" the results for myself when I knew I'd have to wait two weeks for it to show up on Wide World of Sports.

The best thing for the sport itself: The transparency that comes from the protocol. Regrettably, I still think there are some awful shady dealings going on, but at least you can see exactly how it's occurring, and by whom.
