Gathering ice and scattering it as he turns, such flow. It was like a dream, and it keeps evolving.

She says she likes his face, how he skates and how he answers interviews and how strong he is mentally. :biggrin: and she shows her collection of Yuzu items. She's quite an amazing dancer.

There was an article of her in March this year.
http://www.koukouseishinbun.jp/articles/-/3659

She says she likes Yuzuru's word, "efforts lie, but not in vain". Before hearing this word, she was practicing with a thought of "efforts don't lie", but now she believes in Yuzuru's quote since she agrees with him, she has come to be able to train in believing that the current efforts will do good in her future even though good practice does not lead to the good result 100%.
 
A side by side comparison of H&L 2017 WC ver and H&F ver

Ooh thank you! They got that up fast... and I'm not sure if it's been posted, but the same vid maker did a comparison of Seimei, NHK2015 vs Olympics 2018.

Even someone as inexpert as me can tell that the former is more perfect but I have to admit the Olympics Seimei is probably my very favourite of all Yuzu's skates, there's an extra fierceness there born of the fight to make it through with the pain... and the sheer, edge-of-wildness joy towards the end when our warrior knew he'd do it.

Okay, so I'm a sucker for the emotion...
 
'Yuzu blew a kiss (w one finger on the mouth and then extending his arm out) at the eastern centre side of the rink, caused pandemonium and screaming as usual'

'before yuzu said arigatou he picked ice from his blade and threw it towards the audience and ppl were tryin to catch it LMAO IM DYIN HOW U GONNA KEE THAT' https://twitter.com/rlawnsausw/status/1010792072012419072

'before his thank you yell, yuzu also rolled(?) some ice shards towards the stands, laughing. His mischievous (trolling) face was the best according to OP' https://twitter.com/axelsandwich/status/1010794931076653056

1st half sketch. 4T, high kick, blow kiss, finger pointing, etc :biggrin: https://twitter.com/gurikonoomake1/status/1010763295794401281

I'm usually not into music in Japanese, but it is for Yuzuru, and I was curious, so, listened to the original song "Haru yo koi" (Japanese).

The song's lyrics sound quite strong as language and also beautiful. Some phrase even stirred my emotion and made me cry (without his skating... surprise:)). In a sense, it is nicely matching his skating style.

Also I'm not surprise if he liked the glorious but sensitive words, or if people said his performance perfectly reflects the essence of the song.
