Yuzuru Hanyu: 2017-2018
- Thread starter GS Forum Staff
- Start date
So, I think I will answer here, since Miso was kind enough to provide me with links to these music.
1) Illion (Tokyo Ghoul Theme) - Banka because Yuzuru loves Tokyo Ghoul.
I like this song, but not for skating, feel it won´t allow to fluid moment that I think is Yuzuru´s streanght.
2) Kokoro no Sora - Arashi & Hotei Tomayasu
3) Truth/Endless Game mash up - Arashi
5) Arashi - Hope in the Darkness (Digitalian concert version) (I forgot to add this song.)
Sorry, I couldn´t with Arashi, don´t be mad, I know they are adore in Japan (I think one of the interviewers that always talks with Yuzuru is a member?). I just feel the music dated and I don´t particularly like the theme :giveup:
4) Shin Takarajima (Bakuman Theme) - Sakanaction---- I love Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata (I have read and watch Hikaru No Go, Death Note and Bakuman, all of them may be in my favorite list of all time), but I didn´t like this song for skating
So I bargain, here is some Japanese music I feel it could made a great program
1.) Kenji Kawai - Cinema Symphony - Ghost In The Shell OST
2.) Kenji Kawai - Mezame no Hakobune
3.) Scaflowne- is one of favorite music ever, and the variety of music could create a program- ; specialy Shadow of Doubt is a very epic piece of music , and I can almost imagine a step sequence to Dance of Curse
4.) He could his pick to any of this list , this other one
5.) Attack on Titan OST is there a thing that is broken with frontiers is this anime, and his OST is as popular as the anime
6.) Probably most fitting to a woman, but since he loves Weir´s Ave Maria, he could do Elfen Lied´s Lilium
7.) Against probably music more fitting for a female skater, but OVER THE SKY is beautiful , and also Last Exile has an epic soundtrack , and the flying theme fit him really well
8.) Nothing says cool costumer more than, Cowboy Bebop , and the op is acclaimed around the world
I love Jpo and Jrock, just can´t seem to picture a competitive program to any particular song, my nerd heard would love t o see him skating a ex to WADA KOUJI (Butterfly), Aqua Timez (Alones, Sen no Yoru wo Koete, Velonica , Mayonaka No Orchestra, Ketsui no asa ni ) , Ramar (Wild Flowers ), Anything by Spitz and the Honey Clover anime would made my life complete (Jet´aime is gorgeous) ; and right now I have been listening to Goose House Hikaru Nara
Hope you enjoy my post
I thought we were going for JPop/JRock?
to break the mold? Which is why I broke the mold and went popular songs that could be tweak from a dance/performance viewpoint. I want amazing footwork or skatework and I think the crazier the rhythm the song has, the more fun ways for footwork. :luv17:Anyway, most OST do have great use of rhythm/instruments. Not necessarily popular but can be tweak as well. Though Bebop I would think of Javier Fernandez.
Also here are some instrumental versions of

You were literally doing this all together and I LOVED IT!!
Thank you very much for sharing all these, I enjoyed a lot! SEIMEI costume looked like more sparkling than seeing it on TV screen, it was so beautiful. And I laughed (again) with you at the scene Yuzuru was doing one of the choreography of SEIMEI on the podium

http://www3.nhk.or.jp/tohoku-news/20180319/0000579.html A bit more information about the parade plans, they plan to award Yuzu the Prefectural Medal of Honor on the same day as the Parade. "The most important thing is to relay to Hanyu-senshu, the feelings of the citizens. They are continuing preparations so that as many people as possible can give their congratulations." -Prefecture Governor.

So inspired by Yuzu had come up with this...
Yuzuru
No words can describe
The level of awe
In your perfections
Eyes in flames
Consuming the music
Feet gently gliding
Spinning beautifully
Mimicking flying with a jump
Landing ethereally on the ice
In each breath and step
How could this be real?
You Ultimately Zapped Unknowing Rationals Ubiquitously
Toward the world of dreams

Kokoro no Sora--- I just don´t like this song
Truth--- Sorry, maybe is because I don´t know the sings, and the background, I just don´t feel it would work... but this one does have a nice melody
Endless Game--- this one is nice too

:: Thanks! Happy to share! I have never sounded like that before in my life and I don't know if I can even replicate it 
. I feel like what I did requires a new verb. But yeah, I found NBC footage a lot clearer than other footage and that's closer to what it was like in person. NBC has 4k quality too but my cable company is all out of 4k boxes so I don't think I will be able to see it before it expires at the end of the month. 
:curse:
Hey everyone,
I am kinda new in this forum, especially in this Thread, but as a huge Yuzu Fan for some years I wanted to share a small story from today with you guys.
I am right now vacationing in Spain. Today we visited Ronda, a small city in the mountains with amazing views.. well anyways, there were lot’s of Asian tourists there as well...
So suddenly I spotted a young japanese looking woman with a winnie pooh stuffed animal. She was holing it infront of herself and took pictures with him, after that she and her friend took pictures with pooh in the middle.
Why would you bring a pooh to spain and take selfies with it...
My first thought was of course: Yuzuuu - Yuzufans!!!
I really wanted to go to them, point and the bear and say: hey are you Yuzu-Fans?
But aww I didn’t dare it.. I feared so much they’d just look at me like: Whaat?
Then I thought: Oh well maybe they will travel on to Milan later this week and wanted to throw that Pooh, when I was reminded that Yuzu withdrew
Anyways, was just a little funny moment, hope I didn’t bore you with that story
Greeting to all of you from Spain

I'll fight you.
I just don't picture Yuzuru in Bebop.Too bad you can't get into Kokoro no Sora, its quite a wonderful song especially in concerts where they use both traditional and modern instruments. And the lyrics are quite good but I supposed we can't use lyrics (it talks about the wonderfulness Japan and its people) as jumping points for skate sequences.
Would you consider Gackt songs? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7-moYHBvW4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_N1wHMyqm7Q
Or any Visual Kei? I personally feel songs from Visual Kei artists fit the drama of figure skating.

I don't know much about Gackt himself but I confess I like him as a singer and have old CDs of him. (am I the only one feels he is underrated as a singer because of his looks or personality?) He has dramatic and beautiful ballad and they might suit for skating, but probably only for EX.

The Gackt songs are nice to listen, didn´t knew him. But won´t do for skating IMHO.
The only visual kei band I know is L'Arc~En~Ciel, I like some of their songs...
Hmm, I think some of the visual kei bands might work if it's a ballad type. For me, they do lean more towards EX types perhaps.
From Gackt- There is a version of "The Last Song" to orchestra: https://youtu.be/l7-moYHBvW4
This I could see as potential
L'arc en ciel: I don't see them as...visual Kei anymore. But music wise, they might work. I think "New World" and "My Heart Draws a Dream" would be cool to skate to, possibly "Ready Steady Go" would work as an EX-a very bouncy EX at that.
Hyde solo act is very visual kei, the two from him I could see are: Evergreen (https://youtu.be/73fAG7khd7U), and Glamorous sky (the version sung by Mika Nakashima-https://youtu.be/FZXghsN-W_o), though due to pacing and tempo I think Glamorous sky as an EX music.
X-Japan is the one I think might be most suitable for skating though. Maybe Kalafina (who did the main theme for Puella Magi Madoka). If we have to stick to Jpop and Jrock.
