I could catch "only" the end, I don't understand Japanese except "minna san" or "arigato gozaimashita" but he's so... and of course there were the three encores, Let Me Entertain You, Ashura-Chan, and Seimei. And his choreographic instructions didn't really need words...
I think that just watching him there, many may become fans. The answer when he said xiexie, made me think that Cfanyus were in numbers.
 
Behind the Scenes footage combined with programs and footage from all Echoes of Life shows will be aired on May 5 at 7pm on TV Asahi CS 2
Enjoy (the trailer, so far)!!! :)

I think?

Could it be because of this fans enthusiasm for this 1979 song hummed by Yuzuru Hanyu when trying his Utai IV costume?
 
Some kind souls are posting little extracts of this Echoes of Life broadcast, such as bows to the team:

Here are a bit of practice and a few words:

Yes, this dogeza style bowing, or rather prostration, is not seen so often even in Japan any more, outside of formal Zen settings, like in temples. It is so much in line with the Zen vibe of the Echoes, though. Still I recall Yuzu thanking Nomura-san after Notte Stellata with full dogeza style bow, too. This is true humility of the champion, the G.O.A.T., and one of many reasons why Yuzuru is so much loved and respected in Japan.
There is this saying in Japanese Zen that your bow is the mirror through which your soul shines. Indeed.

I watched the show on Telasa. It took him time to "warm up" before he could jump. At first single axel and fell on triple loop. But then triple axel was okay. When he performed Olympic SP, he did everything planned: triplle axel, quadsal and quadtoe-tripletoe, though he was struggling with landing, used the second foot almost immediately, especially on quadsal. He developed artistically I think in his shows, trying to keep technique on level too. All major starts in Japan now have their own shows: Mao, Yuzuru, Daisuke, Shoma. Yet Hanyu is the only one who is all alone on the ice. Perhaps in order to please his fans. But still it's creepy seeing him so lonely.

Who says he's lonely? Simple fact, he could headline any show he wanted in Japan (and probably elsewhere), or invite pretty much any and every skater on the planet to participate, but no one else has shown that they can match up with the artistic vision he has and the stories he wants to tell (and yes, the amount of sponsorship and therefore production values).

And here's the team of his choice that was honoured in such an amazing way! Amazing team it must be!!!
He said many times, even in his very recent interview, that he had felt much more lonely during his competitive days than when working on his solo shows. Now he finally feels a part of a bigger team working together and sharing their different perspectives and expertise to achieve a common goal, and he finds it awesome. :)
