Yuzuru Hanyu: 2016-17 Season

[Yatagarasu]

"The truth is out there" (X-files).
So the answer is, Yuzuru is an alien? That explains everything.

He is an alien-human hybrid of course

 

[Fayruza]

He is an alien-human hybrid of course

He's been able to fool those stupid doctors into taking him as a human, then...

 

[Lillamyrull]

He's been able to fool those stupid doctors into taking him as a human, then...

They have been looking for drugs, not DNA

 

[Yatagarasu]

He's been able to fool those stupid doctors into taking him as a human, then...

All I can say is that I for one welcome our new fabulous Overlord

 

[Fayruza]

They have been looking for drugs, not DNA

I do get a strong whiff of an X-Files episode here - and it could be quite exciting too!

 

[Rissa]

He is an alien-human hybrid of course

I've always been saying that he should be cast as one in the new X-Files, he looks uncannily like one sometimes.

 

[Pamigena]

He's been able to fool those stupid doctors into taking him as a human, then...

Probably some kind of alien mind control. Looking around here :roll9: he certainly has a knack for making people lose their mind (yes I just called you all crazy show me evidence to prove the opposite and I'll take it back)

 

[Lillamyrull]

I do get a strong whiff of an X-Files episode here - and it could be quite exciting too!

Yes finally a beautiful alien, one smile, and we all surrender ....

 

[Fayruza]

Yes finally a beautiful alien, one smile, and we all surrender ....

We already have - some have spent years enthralled by this beautiful otherworldly creature... some are more new to this worship. But once you get into it, there's no escape...

 

[Fayruza]

Probably some kind of alien mind control. Looking around here :roll9: he certainly has a knack for making people lose their mind (yes I just called you all crazy show me evidence to prove the opposite and I'll take it back)

I agree. I admit my madness to the world!

 

[Fayruza]

I've always been saying that he should be cast as one in the new X-Files, he looks uncannily like one sometimes.

I think we should come up with a script and offer it to a few film producers...

 

[YuzusHydroblade]

Yes finally a beautiful alien, one smile, and we all surrender ....

In the last Xylitol CM when he says "saa waratte!" with that adorable smile, how can you resist? It's an instant smile for me. He only needs to smile to control us all...

 

[Lillamyrull]

Sanity is overrated

 

[Pamigena]

I think we should come up with a script and offer it to a few film producers...

so...... fan fiction? yeah that will end well

News clip this morning

- Asaichi reported, Yuzu arriving and bowed to the reporter. Still image on the reporter phone.

- This program with Oda, translated by Angelica @YHIFG FB :
Hanyu "never stops evolving" and each season he adds a quad. Oda-san said, but for Yuzuru, it is not just that his jumps are amazing, they are are all beautifully connected and his expressions are wonderful too. He does everything very well.

The full Asaichi program that reported NHK ^^^

http://www.daily.co.jp/general/2016/11/24/0009693828.shtml

News regarding morning OP. Google translate is either telling me he didn't attend or that didn't attempt any quads. They also mentioned Nathan did some really good quads.

Yuzu only did the choreo in the run-through and did not try any quads.

After unofficial training Shirota answered to media questions instead of Yuzu, in short she said: "No injuries, everything is fine"

TKS photo posted a video of Yuzuru landing 3alo3s (into a spread eagle???)https://www.instagram.com/p/BNL5ctuAzB7/

This news clip shows a bit of his SP runthrough. Skipped jumps.

This news clip shows him landing 3A in his SP runthrough + landing 4Lo for his FS

News clips

Shopping @NHK

It seems like Mirai Nagasu posted Yuzuru's landing 4S and 4T3T in practice but deleted
EDIT : thought it was a 4S3T at first like the poster mentioned

Some twitter poster managed to save it though in case anyone wants to see https://twitter.com/dara_z/status/801726083922096128

From here it seems like he did his FS runthrough in the afternoon. Landed 4Lo, 4T3T and 4S from the footages I found so far?

From @Iron_Klaus twitter source : sn_figure : Yuzuru said :

" I failed to land my 4Lo at SCI2016 and I have trained specifically to land them during competitions. The choreography in my FS has also been refined, with some modifications going into my quads. So please look forward to this.

From Yahoo JP translated by Iron_Klaus

My current condition is good and I am capable of skating perfectly (like last year). However this is a new program and I have no intention of skating in the same way. I intend to show you the very best of me as I am now. -Yuzuru Hanyu

NHK Newsclip shows him landing 4Lo and 4S for FS runthrough

- NHK team Japan photo shoot and press conference.

- Could someone help to translate this tweet. Did Yuzu help to clean-up before the press conference until it was stopped by the staff?

- His hair & he looks good #1, #2

- Could someone help to translate this tweet. Did Yuzu help to clean-up before the press conference until it was stopped by the staff?


He wanted to, but staff told him not to. But still he looked very eager to give a hand. Just so Yuzu

News clip. He does his FS runthrough here. It looks like he did 4S (instead of 3Lz) as his last jump (based on the music background and entry into camel spin) or is my eyes fooling me? He said something about Nathan too. (Before people freaking out this is just practice not actual layout and I might be wrong)

Another News Clip. Parts of his SP runthrough and SP draw + talking and joking with Ryuju and Keiji

ETA : More news clip of practice runthrough. He attempted 4Lo 3 times here. The first one looks like the one in the FS.
The second attempt of 4Lo : hands+stepout but he managed to attach a spread-eagle exit. Third attempt of 4Lo : hangs on but managed to exit with a spread-eagle too

- Yuzuruuuuu! ....slightly longer clips...still shots #1, #2, #3, #4

- That is our boy Yuzu, yes call them to sit in the front

Yuzu & Satoko

- Yuzu & Nam

- News on team Japan men. Press conference photos: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7

New article but I am not sure, I hope someone knows Japanese will help http://www.sponichi.co.jp/sports/news/2016/11/25/kiji/K20161125013786680.html

The most important report in this article might be this part:

"In his FS run-through he was successful with quads except for the planned 4S3T, which became 2S as he was disturbed by the sight of another skater. He was physically strong enough so that he decided to land 4S instead of 3Lz as his last jump on the spur of the moment".

Sorry for this partial translation.

there's the early morning news in Japan...

Yep it's a hobby of mine although by no means i am really good at it and i like to keep my nails short so i don't have much space for it. The ones that i've liked the most were the Chopin inspired nails i did and the Let's go Crazy ones.

Aw thank you. Here are the Hope&Legacy nails. I assure you they have extra glitter, it just doesn't photograph really well, those tiny dots on the nails? That's a bit of the glitter but they are extra sparkly haha. I have to show my support for him!

OTHER

Was on a short flight with Delta again and they still had The Magnificent Nine available to watch in English. I recorded Yuzu's scene and transcribed the subtitles and added them to a video clip I had previously downloaded since I couldn't record sound. If anyone has a HQ version of this clip they can share I'd love to use that to add the English subs to.
