Well said and i totally agree!! Thats just shows his enjoyment and commitment to every performance, he adds his little bits into the program that makes it totally uncopiable by others because it's totally his own!
Yuzuru Hanyu: 2015-16 Season

Yuzu is a well known perfectionist so no doubt the choreo changes have been intensively studied, meditated and overtrained one million times in the previous months, together with the 4L and all other quads, quads, quads..no doubt he's an ecletic and creative genius

Another thing he mentioned in the interview. He's always challenging things in shows, and if he makes a mistake, then between shows, he tries to practice it and make it better. Sometimes he over-does it, so when the afternoon show starts, he fixed the mistake fine but then fails at something else. 
He says he likes yudofu (tofu) and when he was young, one of his first nick-names was konnyaku, a gelatin-like food made from mountain potatoes. -Due to his flexibility (and floppiness?)
Shizuka says he does give the impression of konnyaku and someone who eats tofu,
but at the same time how does he have so much energy?
Yuzu says he runs on adrenaline.

ahh i missed him too but its still a lot better than last year's "blackout"
He mentioned them in regards to spins. When he was younger he loved to spin and it was a major weapon for him. He even studied with Lambiel way-back when he 'still had mushroom hair'. He said they (Han etc.) were very fast and centered in their spins.
Now he only spends about 5 minutes per week :shocked: practicing his spins. It's mostly skating skills etc.

if only he would get more tips from Lambiel, esp upright position :luv17: i love Yuzu's other spins
btw i am curious about something, how is spins and SS related? you are still skating while spinning, does better spins means better SS too? (regardless of position ) i know there are other factors but i am just curious Edit: and just 5 mins for whole week, thats pretty short even for spinner like Yuzu

I meant that he said he spends time working on steps and skating but on spins, only around 5 minutes a week.
Afterwards they said this:
Shizuka says: I guess you are good at getting the technique.
Yuzu: When I was little I loved spinning. Hino and Han Yan, my contemporaries and rivals were very fast at spinning. When you are little you can spin quickly. Around that time I met Stephane Lambiel at the Katsuyama rink (where Lambiel was doing a show Champions on Ice)
When my hair was 'like this'.
At that time I loved to spin, or rather spinning was my strategy, at that time my Beilman was properly fast.
I practiced spinning with Lambiel and got a lot of input at that time.

In 2006, Yuzuru listens enthusiastically to Lambiel talking. It seems Lambiel said in Japanese "More passionate!"

I just finished watching Yuzu's look back on the earthquake and life after the disaster.
It was very touching.
The TV show 'recreated' the gym of the school which was the evacuation center for Yuzu's area and he explained about how everyone lived.
They set up the sleeping mats, porta-toilets and boxes of food. The rice was reconstituted with cold water so the rice was very hard.
Yuzu's family gave him a whole rice-ball to eat because he was growing. He said it was so good, he ate very slowly and felt full afterward.
He also visited a man whose house was next to the ocean and gutted by the Tsunami. He is going to leave his house as it is to show people, even after all the other signs of the devastation are gone, about what had happened there.

Yuzu goes back to Sendai.
Thank you Interspectator for your summarizing :hap85:
What interested me;
He likes Yu-dofu (Boiled tofu) and Mizutaki (Hot pot generally with chicken, seafood, vegetables). He is fond of Sujouyu (soy sauce with rice vinegar, or citron juice - maybe Yuzu ) They are all so simple taste ones, without much calories. It is natural Arakawa-san wondered why Yuzuru had such stamina to do good performance to the end.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jThO-u3wZKQ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lSTmVrW6Yk
He likes edge jumps more than toe jumps
His first triple jump succeeded was Salchow.
It was so nice to hear Yuzuru calling Arakawa-san "Shii-chan" :luv17:
He decided to "Seimei" because he liked the Japanese flute sound and "Douse Kuge-gao dashi." - After all, I know I have a court noble face.
Kuge-gao (court noble face) in Japanese has both good and bad meanings; noble, fine-featured, pale, flat-faced, featureless, etc.
Typical Kuge-gao: https://www.sogo-seibu.jp/hina2016/?medium=listing
Once he said he was not Samurai type. I think he is watching himself very objectively.
But, when I see his fierce side, I'm sure he can perform a young samurai as well. I want to see Mori Ranmaru (Oda Nobunaga's page) type samurai:

Yuzu asked Shizuka how she kept her jumps, and what she emphasized in her skating training now that she's been a pro-skater for 10 years.
They share a similar ethos of the importance of keeping in shape for jumps, so they can be used within a program (or EX) as appropriate. Both of them do not like to have jumps as separate from the program. It must be seamlessly added along with spins and all other elements.
Shizuka says in her training she puts highest importance on skating skills, it is the most important thing...and you can tell right away if a skater hasn't been keeping up with the training. She wants to show people who come to watch her skate that her level is still up there, whether they like jumps or whether they like the other parts of skating.
What a cool lady!

she is indeed very cool! It shows how much she loves skating.
Though I'm not surprised Yuzu would agree to participating in this documentary to promote awareness, I was actually really angry that the producer would go so far as recreating the scene.
It's been almost 5 years since then, but like Yuzu said about the land, it almost seems like time stood still (for the Sendai area, and for the people). He's a strong man, but still felt that it was a little unnecessary...
I'm glad Yuzu would've returned to his warm and comfortable family after filming this. The director had better follow up with Yuzu's well-being after. :x

Talking about hobby, Yuzu was easily amused by himself.
Dialouge:
Arakawa: Last time (in 2013), you mentioned you were an earphonilia (or audiophile). Any change in your hobby now?
Yuzu: No. I'm still loving earphones.
Arakawa: Really? Any evolution in earphones?
Yuzu: Yeah... maybe evolution in PRICE~~~

I think the trip back to Sendai before he goes to World will bring out a passion in his skating. He wants to win at Worlds and I believe he wants to skate his Exhibition for all the world to see his love for his home, Sendai. And for the world not to forget what happened five years ago.

Thank you for the videos, information and translations Interspectador and SusyQ. Yuzu is a human being very special. Five years have passed, but your goal to help areas affected by the earthquake remains alive in his heart. He is so young, but has many responsibilities. Ganbate Yuzu you will be victorious in whatever you want.
I'm killing the longing seeing her smile.
