The other photos that have been posted definitely look a lot better than the cover photo. The cover photo looks like he lost a battle with the hair dryer :laugh:
From the short behind the scene videos he looked like he was having fun at the photo shoot too.
 
I happen to love the an-an pictures, but maybe that's because I'm in a country where this kind of cover is normal, and nothing even sightly disturbing. The only thing I would dislike is seeing Yuzu posing (nearly) naked. NOW, that would disturb me, lol! I have seen lot of my fav skaters posing half-naked, naked, whatever (Weir, Lambiel, Joubert, etc...) and nothing shocked me (hell, I did appreciate it, lol), but Yuzu... I think I'd be very disturb to see baby boy posing like his elders have done in the past. :laugh:

Glad to hear and see he arrived safely! I hope the whole competition will go well! I don't care if he doesn't do the same scores as in NHK, all I want is to see him winning GPF! :biggrin: With Javi 2nd and little Shoma 3rd. :)
 
I burst out laughing when I saw the cover photo. The bed head (ruffled hair) was just too much. I agree it doesn't look like Yuzuru. I have a daughter Yuzuru's age and feel very maternal/protective. I was very relieved there were no "sexy" half-dressed shots.

I feel like he wouldn't have that bed head if he had kept his hands off his hair :laugh:

Regarding these pictures, I kind of like it. It's different but I like how the pictures show us a more casual and relaxed side of him, and he looked like he had a lot of fun during the photo shoot. Let's be honest, it could've been worse (just googled "ANAN magazine" and you'll know what I mean). I feel like we should be more relieved than disappointed.

Happy 21st Birthday Yuzu!

I've been a fan for many years and I hope there's many more still to come. To celebrate I've compiled a list of 21 Videos from Yuzu's 21st Year!



Misha tweeted this somewhat cryptic message...But not hard to guess who/what he is talking about.

Edit: Also Maria Sergejeva sent her wish with a new photo with Hanyu-san!

Last one is #19, during 2013 GPF (he had just won).

Some more Birthday Cakes~ If he ate them all he'd probably end up as round as his tissue box

+ Yuzu latte to go with it


ANAN
Another birthday present! New footage of our amazing athlete posing as idol for the day for ANAN...he's a natural! Lol how excited is the photographer! He seems to enjoy Hanyu-san lying down the most!

ANAN is released today(already 1.38am on Dec 9 in Japan).

At the bookstore...he just looks like an idol isn't it?

Front cover & back cover

Gorgeous photos #1, #2 , #3

A fan tweeted "I should buy 10 copies of ANAN !!!!!!!!!!"

ANAN poster at train station and on train.

ANAN Kindle version from Amazon .

Our boy is a natural at this thingy, i think this when he was 17? Though he still looks 17 in anan


Pictures & Videos

could anybody pls translate this for me?
2015年 NHK杯 羽生選手のSPです。点数が出たときのハイテンションは、2014年の世界選手権、 町田選手のSP以来でしょうか! 羽生選手の負けん気の強さを、称賛しています。

+ BONUS - FP music cut


It will be our 5th time to see Yuzuru in person, and the 4th consecutive year. But it never gets "old". He is different every year, and so is his skating - always fresh, new, exciting, pushing new boundaries. Then there are all the "little moments" that become so memorable - his expressions etc after performance, stuff he does in K&C, interactions with other skaters, Yuzuru "being Yuzuru"... and of course his life is so full of unbelievable events and drama, it's like a badly written manga!

What a priviledge it has been... to see him in person, and witness first-hand his growth and development, as both a person and a skater, over the last few years. I hope our good fortune will continue in the coming years as well...!

PS. I hope to take photos at GPF and share them, as I did last year.

Maybe Ms Kobayashi or somebody will be there instead, when Orser is busy sending Javier out? I don't think we'll ever get a reaction like THIS again though...


Translations
Translation of Finish commentary for Yuzuru SP at NHK from a girl in FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1610393525875114/permalink/1660875720826894/

Happy 21st to our dear Yuzu! Stay Healthy! Stay Happy!! and Stay Golden!!!

To celebrate this wonderful day, I bring to you a translation of his NHK SP performance from the CCTV+ commentary. (The guest commentators for the SP are retired Chinese pairs Pang/Tong)


News, Blogs & Reports
A Russian blogger has broken down Yuzuru's SP in details and explained every turn he did, why he got that score etc. http://www.sports.ru/tribuna/blogs/dobroefk/864397.html

There's a "Figure Skating Concert" airing and it will feature a live orchestra playing music from Yuzuru and Mao's programs this season. http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/daimei_2015/sphone/broadcast/cur/

Here is my on sight after-action report for the 2015 NHK Trophy in Nagano. Sorry this is a week late, but school and work has kept me from working on it. It is long and rough in places, but I wanted to share with you all my experience of seeing Yuzu break three records live and in person. It was so thrilling and I consider myself very lucky to have been there.

News footage of Hanyu-san arriving in Barcelona. Did not say where he came from so I guess we'll just have to guess if he was in Japan or in Toronto this whole time. ;) He said he doesn't feel like a return to Barcelona, but rather like a new competition. He was asked about going for the 3rd consecutive GPF title, but he said rather than thinking about that, he prepared for this competition like he did the last one and practiced a lot.

Have tons of fun those of you in Barcelona! Hope you enjoy all disciplines as well!
 
Ah, yes, how could I forget. I did a postdoc too. Fun times.

Back to Yuzu - here's hoping we hear some practice reports Wednesday.

Dear friends that are traveling to Barcelona, we are really looking for those practice reports. But no pressure on you, enjoy your trip first :cheer:
 
For you guys who'll be going to the GPF, safe journey and have lots of fun!!!

I personally don't find anything wrong at all in the magazine cover. It's a normal shot and he looks how he's supposed to look for the theme/concept. I've seen worse/weirder shot from some covers by some idols (let's just say idols) believe me.. Yuzu's is much normal and better. Maybe because I also like that casual sort of boy-next-door look for him (or anyone I like, really). It suits him and it's another persona of him than being an athlete. I also think he looks cute so that's always a plus.. :luv17:

Anyway that kind of photo shoot usually has a predetermined concept or theme and tbh, his is probably the best we can get. I'll take that concept than any other 'unique' concept that probably won't suit him as much. Oh and the most important, he looked like he enjoyed the shoot so that's great to know.

Back to the GPF topic, I'm actually not (yet) nervous about it.. hopefully this good feeling will continue throughout the week. :2thumbs:

I just want to break the combo and say I LIKE JPop and idols :dance2: Although many idol photoshoots are bland and uninspired but that's basically it. I think the Anan pictures are cute and I like them.

I really can't wait for GPF!! I won't say that I dare to hope he can repeat NHK but I hope he's able to do two programs that satisfy him and ofc I'd like to see him win haha.
 
I know you'll have a great time! :-D

We're flying tomorrow... can't wait!
Men's competition (and several of the others!)... will be Epic!

So jealous of you!! I get to finally see him in a few months time in Boston and can hardly wait. Have a fabulous time!!:yahoo:
 
Count me among the club of ruffled hair dislikers. Actually, I don't like any of the ANAN photos that much. I think I have a problem with Yuzuru wearing too much white, and no colors. I like colors. :-(
I couldn't agree more. The messy hair, white sweater and facial expressions seem very unlike Yuzu. The cover looks like a different person entirely in my eyes. Oh well, to each his own.
