Yuzuru Hanyu: 2015-16 Season

[Hanmgse]

Since there's been no news this weekend, here's a video of a TV talk show that was aired tonight for laughs.

The guest is a popular actress, Yoko Maki and she is a big figure skating/Yuzuru fan.
The guy who appears on the video is her comedian friend (Koyabu). I didn't watch the show from the beginning but I'm guessing he was asked what he wanted her to stop doing. He said that Yoko is really passionate when she talks about Yuzuru and although he likes figure skating himself and thinks of Yuzuru as a national treasure, he gets tired after she speaks about Yuzuru for 20 minutes. She describes small details about things like "that expression/his eyes when he does that thing, etc." and because Koyabu-san supports Yuzuru himself, he listens to her but she talks for so long and praises him so much that he starts to get jealous and thinks, "the audience will think I'm funnier (than Yuzuru) if we were at NGK (I think it's where he does stand-up comedy)."

Back in the studio, the host (Ueda) asked her if she likes Yuzuru that much and she replied that she's always liked figure skating and she made Koyabu watch Yuzuru's performances when he came to her house. She explained to Koyabu how difficult his jump entries are and kept on rewinding and fast-forwarding the video. Ueda asked her if she's seen it live and she said she's seen Daisuke and Shizuka in an ice show but hasn't seen Yuzuru yet. Ueda boasted that he saw Yuzuru at the Sochi Olympics and interviewed him afterwards and you can see Yoko's response from 2:47 . She shouted, "I'm envious!! How was he!?" Ueda said, "he's sincere, humble, a very nice young man." and she's still excited at 3:08.
After that she talks briefly about Patrick and Boyang. She skates sometimes herself and reconfirms how great Yuzuru is when she does.

This is Yoko Maki's instagram when she posted things about the an-an magazine he was in.
Why did I buy this?? Why??
What am I pinning up??
An-an-san, this is not good, this is not good.
Also a photo with Daisuke and Shizuka.

what a fan, Thank you for the translation :luv17:

The drawing even with Yuzu's ahoge hair (アホ毛, アホげ, is a visual cue common to Japanese anime and manga. Consisting of a single, often large, lock of hair sticking out from the top of the head).

Yuzu's ahoge & crazy hair appreciation thread in FB. .

I do enjoy it, but it's becoming a problem because some of them are quite large and heavy so it's hard to find space for them! This photo is inside Quadruple 2016 Extra, it's one of the heavier ones.

Thanks!
About the weight of the magazine, one of the reasons feels like per weight of paper. japanese World Figure Skating is another magazine known for the beauty of photos (I read that when TAT was the coach of Mao, she bought it every time she came to Japan saying it was the most beautiful magazine of figure skate of the world.) is another magazine known for the high quality of photos. Last summer i met the publishing company's person at a show. they are pointed out that their magazine is so hearvy, which is because of per weight of paper, but thick paper is necessary to print their quality of photos, so they don't change. Maybe Quadruple is the same.

Oh, I only have the latest edition, but I absolutely adore the quality of the pictures from World Figure Skating. Even though I can't read Japanese to save my life, the pictures are so worth it (and so many of them are of Yuzu :luv17: )

Yes I got Quadruple 2016 Plus as well and both are very high quality mooks (magazine books). The paper is very thick and this was probably the heaviest shipment so far! It's thicker than even the Yuzuru photo book paper I think.

Thank you so much hamaguri! Google translate can only get me so far, so I'm always thankful for translations, on any language, regarding many skaters

Back on topic, I'd like to think that no news is good news regarding Yuzu's condition? May is almost finished and ANA hasn't said anything, or could it have been under Yuzu's request? If that's the case I won't complain at all, I just hope he is getting better and improving, I'm sure he's impatient to get back on the ice (but please do it after you recover fully, Yuzu).

yes. im also trying to think no news is good news about his condition. that tv announcement 10 days ago may have taken place of that of ana(middle of may has passed already.). Maybe yuzu is back on the ice and starting preparation of his new programs by now as they say if his pain heals. anyway, nothing beats his health( of course health is first priority for all skaters! i always pray for that... ).
be patient, yuzu!:yes:

Chinese fans has English-subbed the CCTV5 (China sport TV channel) Yuzuru the Best Foreign Winter Sports Athlete of 2015-2016. The sub is a bit small way at the bottom of video, Youtube version and DailyMotion version.

Below is shared & translated by Stella Chen @YHIFG FB:

Yuzuru Hanyu is in an article in a Taiwanese language learning Magazine. The title in Chinese is "Yuzuru Hanyu: The Gold medalist Figure Skater Overcomes Difficulties with Courage"...photo1, photo2, photo3, photo 4.

Short introduction about Yuzu, translation "Yuzuru Hanyu who was born at Izumi-ku, Sendai is a famous Japanese figure skater. Although he was suffered from asthma since his childhood, he still overcomes physical disadvantages and keeps enhancing skating skills and has good records at junior figure skating competitions. Yuzu’s hometown and rink were seriously damaged by 311 earthquakes. Despite of the catastrophe, he lifts his spirits skating to encourage other victims. Yuzuru Hanyu’s performance is famous for his elegant figure and highly difficult quadruple jumps. At Sochi, winter Olympia games, his short program got 101.45 and broke the world record, and he is the first Asian figure skating gold medalist. This dazzling new sports star not only performs exquisitely; he also brings positive energy for us."

Brief intro about Figure skating, translation "It was the first winter sport that is included in the Olympics, in 1908. Men's singles, ladies' singles perform short program and long program. Skaters have to perform jumps, spins, jump combination, and spin combination in a limited time. Scoring is according to the skating skills, performance/execution, choreography and Interpretation of the music."

i cant help but be surprised at the fine detail of this video. it's filled with the deep affection and the continuous supports of Chinese fans. further,the strong last line feels like the prediction of new season. he wont stop and will go for without hasitation.

I will let who knows Japanese to properly translate this, but from what I got from google translation it seems Yuzu is still in Canada (no news here), still undergoing treatments and that his return to Japan has not been set yet. Not sure about the source of the news (Ms Kobayashi? Or are they quoting her from last April?)

The article is based on Ms. Kobayashi's comment after JFS meeting held in Tokyo today.
