This performance was more intense than ever. Whatever emotions he felt, he let them out in the most wonderful way. That can't be called "interpretation", it's pure feeling, not acting.
Thanks for sharing with us all that passion, kid! :sad4:

I've watched it 5 times already,there are not proper words to express it.. his performance was something else today, he really felt it deep. I guess that's what he meant the other day, i just wanna skate more..

In a way for me this Requiem is the suddenly favorite one. It's as if there are flashes of pure energy, even in so deeply quiet a piece, and so the tragedy it expresses becomes greater. It was the same in the Ballade on Wednesday and intensified its nature also.

I can hardly wait for next season. But far above everything, always, may Yuzuru be healthy and happy!
 
I thought that Requiem was a program that would come across better on screen because you can see his facial emotions and subtle movements but it was 10x better watching live! It was really really beautiful and you can see the speed and control and flow he has across the ice with his deep edges. The tension in his movements really brought out the poignancy of the music. It was a wonderful performance and it made me fall in love with this program (finally!)
 
Woah, that ex!!
Finally, finally i 'get' this particular ex from him. Before, i couldnt get it as i thought it is too dramatic. Too flashy for my liking ( and that green thing he wore didnt help)
But THIS performance, yes! As one of you already said, it is no interpretation, it just pure feeling. Amazing!!! I can feel it loud and clear in the video, i cant imagine how amazing it was for you that able to see it life!! I envy youuuuu
This may be became my favorite ex number...and maybe.. I may or maybe not admit that i come to like the cabbage seaweed salad costume 😚 juuuuust a little bit 😋😋😋

His Requiem today is different. Before, he didn't control his emotion and let it all pour out during the whole show. But this time, he obviously controlled his emotion and then gradually releasing it which is much better in terms of performance. I have to say I don't like his Requiem that he performed before but this time, I like it.

I love reading this, thank you!
 
Wow I'm re-watching his Reqiuem like crazy and every time I'm crying during step sequence....I must confess that I disliked this program before but now...oh goodness me.... that was sublime! I can feel his emotions...sorrow....sadness...but also hope. Masterpiece :love:

It might be off-topic, but I'd like to share my unique and mysterious experience I had about one month ago.
I've hesitated to tell you guys before or during the WC because it happened at my friend's funeral. I thought mentioning anything related to death makes some people feel ill-fated.
My friend was much younger than me, (I'm an old aunty in the same generation with BOrser,) which means she was supposed to live much longer than me.
At her funeral, I could barely breathe, choked by the storming emotions, the mix of sadness, anger, despair, helplessness, and more, but weirdly no tears.
While a Buddist monk was chanting a sutra, Yuzu's spinning image (in Chopin) emerged in my head out of nowhere. He kept spinning silently but beautifully like a ballet dancer on a music box, as if he had been determined to spin eternally.
Gradually, I came to breathe normally and started to cry. It was like his spin calmed down the storm in my heart and sublimated the complicated emotions into pure sorrow. I felt sad comfortably. It sounds strange, but the feeling was exactly like that.
Now I can say his skating has a special power to console people staying in their hearts so long. I can say his skating is not precious for the color of medal but for it's power to touch one's heart. (Of course some other skaters have such kind of power to somebody. For me, it's Yuzuru.)
When he truly realizes such power existing in his skating, it might be also a power to let his pressure go.

I'm so sorry for the loss you're going through :(
Me too, Yuzuru had helped me going though something similar, I hope you won't mind if I share my story too.

I discovered Yuzu during a very dark time of my life, having learned recently at the time that my dad has a vicious cancer. At the time, my life felt empty, stuck and grey. And then I discovered him totally by accident and the first time I watched him skate it was like someone was opening the window in a very old room that hadn't felt fresh air nor bright light in a very long time. Everytime I would feel the bite of life too harsh, I would put on one of his program and immediately feel better. Everytime I watch him, good or bad skate, my day feels brighter, better, and becomes a day I can get through. There's something special about him that is so hard to pinpoint, but he can sooth the heart.
