Yes, he is polite but he talks quietly, and he has been like that since he was younger
Also he has two daughters and seems to be down to earth. I wish him the best, especially the health

I tried very very hard to imagine a winky face but cannot...
Maybe I am just visually challenged or lacking in imagination? 
Happy that he is getting the chance to put together a show with people he admire! Glad to see him able to check off another item off his " dream " list.

I was so happy when I read this clip, and of course, best of luck to the King, getting back to competition.

Sorry I mean Yuzu himself
He's not skating because of his injury but he's technically in charge and will be talking at the show.
Hopefully, he wears a nice suit that actually fits him.

Yuzu is going to be at the shows, and has invited various skaters who have had an influence on his skating. He will do a talk show with the skaters and they will skate. So I think he'll be like an MC?

I don't know why I find this so funny. Is that his mom running really fast with the suitcase?

Hasn't been announced yet, but Johnny posted a video of himself practicing his Ave Maria EX, so we think he will be there. Yuzu said that he loved that EX.

Yes, I saw an interview a couple of months ago, that has subtitles, and he was also talking about Yuzuru questioning him about jumps and turns (this boy really has only three track mind ins´t he? jumps, earphones and Pooh)
I was surprise because I has seen him compete and he looks so strong and confident, yet his voice was so soft...
On another subject I haven´t seen this poste here, a video of CCTV talking about Yuzuru it has subtitles, sorry if it was already posted

So I finally got around to uploading my fancams from the Olympics! Just forewarning that the video with my reaction to his win/the venue ceremony (either #7 or #8 depending on if one of my videos is geoblocked for you), just make sure you don't have the volume at the loudest because it starts with my screaming/laughing/crying like a banshee. Here is the playlist. I have a couple more to add but they won't be Yuzu related:

You'll need a VPN to view my video of the free skate practice if you're in Australia, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, South Korea, or the USA.

Not only Kohei Uchimura, other top Japanese athletes were also inspired by Yuzuru in the Olympics according to these articles and tweets. I didn't have time to post at that time since there were too many news about Yuzuru himself, but here it is
Tomokazu Harimoto (table tennis, gold medalist in JWC of 2016, https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/張本智和)
https://www.jiji.com/jc/article?k=2018030300544&g=spo
(After he lost in the game) "If I had the mental strength Hanyu has, I would be able to get closer to the gold medal. I want to carry this regret to the next."
Kenzo Shirai (gymnastics, gold medalist in the Olympics and WC, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenzō_Shirai)
https://www.sponichi.co.jp/sports/news/2018/02/26/kiji/20180226s00067000092000c.html
"In the warm up, there was the jump he was not able to land, but he succeeded it at one shot in the actual performance."
"Hanyu said he would challenge 4A, and as a leading "twister" in the gymnastics, I also have to aim for the higher level."
Daiya Seto (swimming, gold medalist in two WC, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daiya_Seto)
https://www.sponichi.co.jp/sports/news/2018/02/26/kiji/20180225s00092000488000c.html
"I think his road to the Olympics was not easy being injured, but it was beyond amazing he achieved the greatest result at the biggest stage."
"I have the connection with Hanyu in terms of belonging to the same company (Seto is in ANA, also a student of Waseda Uni), I only have greeted him. I'm interested in the mentality of "The absolute king", so I would love to talk with him. Of course, I am feeling like "I have to do it next." and being passed a baton from him."
Naohisa Takato (Judo, gold medalist in two WC, bronze madalist in the Olympics, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naohisa_Takato)
http://www.hochi.co.jp/sports/winter/20180220-OHT1T50213.html
"Hanyu's consentration is really great. I was moved from my heart that he executed perfectly at the big stage without loosing focus after he had injured his right ankle. He must be realizing his current strength and weakness very well. While he wanted to have the best performance at the current state since it was the Olympics, he did stick to giving all his best on that day. It was the toughness that normal people don't have. Hanyu had it and I felt he was a monster."
"He has the absolute power that nobody can say anything about. I watched him feeling like the excellence of Yuzuru Hanyu as a human being was spreaded not only over Japan but also the whole world. Being impressed by his interview, I was motivated like I had to work harder and keep up, because I want my gold medal in the Olympics after all."
Nozomi Okuhara (badminton, gold medalist in WC of 2017, bronze medalist in the Olympics, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nozomi_Okuhara)
https://twitter.com/nozomi_o11/status/965521548252659712
"The more I see the news of Hanyu, the more I want to see him and ask a lot of questions. I want to hear many stories from him."
Kosei Inoue (Judo, gold medalist in the Olympics, the current supervisor of team Japan, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kōsei_Inoue)
https://www.daily.co.jp/general/2018/02/19/0010999477.shtml
"True king. He had the curious aura in his whole body and the power to draw all in." "I shouted when I was watching him. I don't know about the techniques of the sport, but he had his own expression, brilliance and flexibility. I thought he was fabulous."
"He has incredible mentality. It is better if we don't get hurt physically, but the important thing is how to control ourselves after getting injured."
"We have tremendous pressure for 2020, but we have to fight believing in ourselves after all. As an athlete, he gave us the courage and inspiration."
Nao Kodaira (speed skating, gold medalist in the Olympics, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nao_Kodaira)
https://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20180219-00000040-dal-spo
"First of all, his attitude for the performance was different (from mine) when he stood on the ice rink. He was standing like he was able to have clean elements without thinking anything, and I felt I wanted to compete in that kind of atomosphere as well."
"I've heard that Hanyu read many research papers while he was injured, so if I have any chance to talk with him, I want to ask him what kind of documents he had read."
Kosuke Hagino (swimming, gold medalist in the Olympics, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosuke_Hagino)
https://www.asahi.com/articles/ASL2K6QVJL2KUTQP03H.html
"I imagine he had really hard time after getting injured, and his sense (for skating) may not been coming back 100% yet, but he did give it all like that. I was very moved."
(Did Yuzuru inspire him toward the consective win in Tokyo Olympics?) "Yes. I can not let the Pooh rain over the swimming pool, so I want to make another kind of rain (in Tokyo Olympics)."
Yuto Nagatomo (football, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuto_Nagatomo)
https://twitter.com/YutoNagatomo5/status/964812084872712193
"Yuzuru Hanyu is unbelievable. How did he show the best performance after returning from long-term withdrawal due to the injury? Has not he recovered fully yet, has he? Besides, the Olympics is the big stage. You can not do this only by the talent. Well done."
Shohei Ono (Judo, gold medalist in the Olympics, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shohei_Ono)
https://www.nikkansports.com/sports/news/201803160000743.html
"Hanyu's word "I know how to win the Olympics.". He understands the way of aproaching to the big game, and the way of peaking and conditioning. What I am lack within me is "prominent". I haven't trained enough to be prominent. I only have to spend enormous amount of time to build up."

You're welcome! Actually, I had fun reading these athletes’ wiki
They are all amazing athletes and I am glad they acknowledge the greatness of Yuzuru as an athlete.
