Yuzuru Hanyu: 2017-2018

[xeyra]

I could never get used to the purple to be honest. I loved the rock-star performances, but I still hate the pants.

HOW. DARE. YOU!

He said, "There is no competition I can lose in the Olympic season, so I think it is really important to attack surely and carefully in each competition."

Thank you very much. =)... mhhm I'm not sure that's the right way to go if he wants to be at the top of his game when it counts... he has already happened in the past that Yuzu faltered under the pressure of his own expectation...

While I didn't mind the purple Prince costume I have an attachment to the white version - he looked really crisp and cool in that costume, it's too bad it didn't suit skating on ice.

Funny story, when Yuzu debuted the purple costume at NHK I was watching on the low quality Ice Network stream right as the 6 min warm up started. First thing I saw was gray-ish colored pants (low quality stream, low quality colors) and thought "who is this wearing a feather duster colored costume?". Turns out it was Yuzu and it was a wild purple .

Noooo it loses its beautiful gradient colors. And black looks good when it's made to fit the body, instead of a loose one.

RC has such a good lineup. Not only Yuzu but Zhenya is also there, plus Nathan, Carolina, T/M, the Shibs (video blog pls!), among so many others. Whoever is going, have fun!

No! So quick! I really wanted to go this year, but I just confirmed that my work commitment won't allow me to....
whoever is going, have tons of fun

I could never get used to the purple to be honest. I loved the rock-star performances, but I still hate the pants.

I also can't believe I would love the purple magic pants one day :hopelessness:

Well, I had less problems with his pants than his gelled hairstyle. I mean - damn! He almost looked like a grown-up (didn't match Pooh-san).

Another piece from a photographer’s perspective.

In this QA-style interview, photographer Tsutomu Takasu talks about the cover shots of Number (Issue 875) and Number Plus (May 2017), both featuring Yuzuru, and his work on Asada’s official photo book. He also discusses Yuzuru’s way of self motivation as an athlete.

Another Translation to get us through July. Thanks so much to translator Gladi :luv17:
