Sorry Yuzu, I was a bit distracted by Shae in the beginning
Is it just me or was he a bit teary at the end? Maybe it was just the lighting, I don’t really know haha.

I can't say for sure, but he looks really, really happy.

Probably you mean the monthly lecture run by JOC for the athletes aiming for Tokyo Olympics? Nao Kodaira did it yesterday and participants were about 200 (https://www3.nhk.or.jp/news/html/20180510/k10011434301000.html). I remember Yuzuru was also a candidate for the lecturer.

I forgot the Olympics will be in Tokyo in 2020! Do you expect Yuzuru to be the torch-bearer?

Yes he may participate although he may not be the final torch bearer because he is a winter olympian.

MY DREAM
I think it is possible and don't think people will complain if he does it except for particular people.This is additional information about Sasha Plushenko, he will skate only in Kobe show. It is understandable since he is still a cute little kid

Oh boy, in this intro, Plushy got tangled up in Johnny Weir. They did a awkward holding dance.

I think he'd demur actually - didn't he do the same for the closing ceremony to the Winter ones? Got a lovely delicate sense of decorum, he has.

Talk Corner. He's introducing the most Seinor of his mentors. Tsuzuki Shoichiro. And the spotlight goes to him in the audience...aww.
-Seems the Tsuzuki has been the coach of everyone's coach!
aaand our Hero Mura gets an interview!
What Mura likes about Skating is that it has technicality as well as performance.
About the performing aspect, Mura thinks it's an opportunity for each skater to show their uniqueness.
When Mura was a junior his favorite thing was to jump he wanted to jump axels and quads.
Mura's hero...Honda Takeshi, he wanted to jump like him.
Mura's parents are both coaches...which kind of coaching did he like best?
His main coach was his dad, he was strict but he feels like his Dad's influence was biggest, but his mom would come between them when they argued.
....
His kids made him want to skate in a cool way and show good skating for them. They are not old enough to critique his skating but they know when he pops or falls and they say "You popped"
Yuzu thinks the show rink is too small for Mura's big jumps and skating. He stepped out of a jump in the performance.
Mura and Yuzu chatted on line a lot, Mura talked about his boot problems and asked, when things weren't going well, "How do you do a toeloop again?"

Sano-san in a red coat. I wonder where he got these made?
Yuzu hands Sano-san a towel... and Sano-san says "Tsuzuki-Sensei, I did it without falling!"
"Everyone is so worried for me, is he ok? Doing this again after 22 years, I felt, figure skating is so fun! Thank you Hanyu for letting me do this"
Now, today's technical element is the hydroblade.
Introducing the difficulty of this element, the balance is difficult, and the strain on the foot it's quite difficult especially coming at the end of the program.
The back-out hydroblade that Suzuki Akiko and Shae lynn are good at.
Next Back-in hydroblade go for a long time...
Mura demonstrates.
"Go longer, more, more, more!" -From Yuzu and Sano
Mura demonstrates doing it with a fore arm on the ice
"What about the shoulder?"
"What about the head?"
Mura: That's called falling!
Yuzu: I used to do the hydroblade with one hand on the ice, then it gradually became no-hands while doing the hydroblade.
It's tiring to hold the leg up like this.
Sano: I practiced the sit-spin so much that my back started hurting, and I couldn't do it in the performance.

Kids question:
My coach and teachers are scary were yours scary?
Yuzu: They were terrible. You hearing this Tsuzuki-sensei?
He then goes on to explain things sensibly but I was laughing so I couldn't do a translation.
