Yuzuru Hanyu: 2014-15 Season

[ahkeekee]

This is what Yuzu means to me - from A to Z. The idea was inspired by a post by hanyedits on tumblr. Let me know if you have other values for a letter than I didn't put in there? Hope you enjoy.

I loved the tumbler edits too. Thank you for this, it was a fun read Maybe we should start playing the A-Z game here, with each person doing one letter


@cruzceleste I'm not sure, I didn't see the name of the magazine it came from :think:

Thank you! I’m a big fan of your blog. I enjoy reading your blog!
This time, thinking of mean for every letter must have been hard …GJ! I’m impressed that almost all elements about yuzu are included. And your choice of photos is great!(of course, about other articles. ) Thank you! (Hanyu's photo in ANA wear makes me smile. Thank you!)

I also love him in UA. If you don’t have this photo in your correction, please put it in! It is the one of 2015 WTT:agree:. It's my favorite. http://blogimg.goo.ne.jp/user_image/34/5b/564931525bc0be14ea21375ac31e72a0.png

Only slightly related to Hanyu-san, but Nam was doing an impromptu Q&A session with fans on twitter, and he said that he is taller than both of his Cricket Brothers He also said that his SP will be choreographed by David Wilson and FS by Jeff Buttle. Jeff is certainly venturing into FS area this season it seems.

I have read that Nam hasn't had LP yet because Jeff is busy with SOi. This means if Yuzuru is doing SP right now it might be David Wilson.
Or it might be this way, he has done the LP with Shae-Lynn, and he will perform it at DOI and will get the SP done when he comes back to Canada to get SP done by Jeff.
But I am expecting a SP by DW anyways. Not fond of the man definitely, but his SP aren't bad.

 

[firal]

I am expecting a new EX program from him too...(aren't we due for one?) maybe he will perform that at DOI instead of debuting either one of his programs?

 

[Esopian]

An interesting gif post from tumblr got me curious to when the practice was held and for what event it was for (I recognized he was practicing the EX number "Hello I love you"). The video link in the post is private, so I wish I could've watched the original. :think: Also, another great gif post from the same blog.

Lol the posters of FaOI before and after the announcement of Yuzu's participation

The huge difference between the 'before' poster and 'after' poster really gave me a good laugh!

Aww, I enjoyed reading your A-Z blog post about Yuzuru! Each letter had meaning and a thoughtful word to go with it. :agree:

He is in Toronto for like 1.5 months I think he is doing both the draft for SP and LP. And it's a tradition they will show new programs at DOI. Maybe when he comes back to Toronto in mid July he will adjust both programs. I think it's more logical that way.

Or maybe he hasn't done the SP yet and wait for Jeff until mid july.

I don't like DW honestly, just hope that if it's him then it's either an ex or a SP. please please no LP.

Yes, DW's SP for Daisuke Takahashi in 2011-2012 season was excuisite.

I want this type of exotic music piece with dark costume color for Yuzuru as well.

I have no problem with SP by DW. He has some masterpiece SP, like the one for Dai, his SP this season for Javi is nice too. I also like Sui/Han SP.

But let's not set our hope high when it comes to Yuzuru's costumes. I have my lesson. :hopelessness: i can totally image something not dark at all lol, something with flowers and gems, bling bling...

 

[Esopian]

^ I actually think Yuzuru's costume choices for this season looked pretty good, the Chopin costume and the two versions of POTO costumes suits him quite well. I wonder what'll be his plan for next season, I bet everyone is anticipating his costumes.

For anyone that was looking for the source from gif set from SA 2012, this was the closest video I could find http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNDY1ODQ2NzEy.html
Sorry the quote thing still doesn't work for me.

I think the first GIF is from SA 2012, and the second may be from the NHK 2012.

This may be from the NHK of the same year.

Sorry, I can not be sure about this.

I loved his costumes for this season

Yeah his competitive costumes this season actually are acceptable. I can rewatch his performances without taking off my glasses.

But then he came out with the blue and flowery final time traveler costume and something in me died a bit. My face was like this: http://img.ifcdn.com/images/521f65074e3c75e0b1374169eec355f70d7d3b00d4b6763f9ec487921a7b1a5a_1.jpg

So all in all, I know he will have at least one disaster costume each season, we can't avoid. Let it be the costume in the gala. It's my wish.

This is a video about three promissing young Japanese lady skaters including Yuna Aoki whose 3Lz+3T jump combination was praised by Yuzuru.

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2qenkq_少女スケーターたちの今-樋口新葉-青木祐奈-本田真凜_sport#from=embediframe

They are now focusing on harder jumps or combinations such as 3Lz+3Lo, and 3A.

And one thing I wondered. Do male skaters do jump combinations 3+3 with the second Loop?
I don't remember whether I have seen them. Anyone know any performance with 3+3 with the seond loop by male skaters?

I LOVE Wakaba's reaction. Calling her dad and saying 'Taihen!' that means a sort of 'Oh no!' response. She says she's got mixed feelings about Mao returning.
I bet, as a competitor she's worried about her placements--since she wants to win Nationals (and all the other medals).

That was quite refreshing and funny to see, in a way. You can totally see how much Wakaba wants to WIN IT ALL!!

Re: costumes: I know that I would never be "underwhelmed", so to speak, when it comes to his costumes. Like, I would never be, "oh, that's it? I was expecting something more..." So in a way that's always good.
