https://twitter.com/taedonyzlove/status/1015778564484915200 Shinya-san the pianist who played the beautiful music for Haru yo Koi in Fantasy on ice talked a little about working with Yuzu. (basic translation)
Yuzu was very passionate about the piano and the music when talking to him, he felt he was talking to a fellow musician. From the arrangement of the music, things like, can you play it more like this? Usually skaters use pre-recorded music, so no matter how many times you skate, the timing is the same. This time, the music is live so it doesn't work like that. Instead of thinking of it as a risk, after each performance, he said things like, we can pull that out a little more, we can put more feeling there, and they brushed it up each time, by the last performance it was 30 seconds longer.
He was able to enjoy it and he's really a perfectionist.
I said, since you know so much about music, you could make it yourself!
And he said, 'in music and choreography there are professionals like yourself, that I want to learn from, but I wouldn't think to stand in your shoes.' I think it's wonderful that he got the People's Honor Award.

A little bit from before the above clip. Shinya is a funny guy! "I've never played for an audience that ignored me like this....I'm like, I'm here! I'm Here!" :laugh: "I was getting to a quiet part in the music, and this is a really good part! And Hanyu does something and there's a huge reaction, and I'm like LISTEN!" :laugh::laugh:

https://twitter.com/tokisora68/status/1015786184600006656 All of the Yuzu Segment, including some comments by Kozuka. --(he tries his best to make an analogy about Yuzu and soccer, because they are talking about the World Cup as well, but it doesn't quite work for me. :biggrin:) But he says that Yuzu as very caring and mindful of his Sempai. And that he has a will that's stronger than anyone else'.

That is priceless....:rofl:

Thank you :ghug:

While I’m happy to see Yuzuru featured in there, I’m not quite sure I’m a fan of the ISU using active skaters as examples or not :slink:

I'm of two minds too - to be perfectly fair, had they done so and NOT used Yuzu and Javi I would be severely miffed, so I could understand if fans of other current skaters might be...

On the other hand, a small and unabashed part of me is going "yesyesyesyesyes!!!"

Yeah, this part was sooo funny, he was honest :rofl:

It is good to know he and Yuzuru have been contacting on LINE :)

I remember Shinya call him Yuzu chan in one of the interviews so seems like the two are bonding.
 
Sota's costume reminds me of Yuzuru's Dory costume :laugh:

I would have loved Dory to be black and white.... ah well, roll on August when we find out what else our boy has in store for our eyes.
 
Oh it is nice there are the the interviews by Olympians on the screen :thumbsup:
 
Elvis is energetic, great jumps, spins, footwork and he is 46 years old :bow:

Shinya agrees with you on Kozuka's comment, he seems to be a very honest person. He says in his opinion, Yuzuru's performances in PC Olympics and the way team Japan moved a ball in the game with Poland in the World Cup are completely different and not for comparison.

Team Japan in the Wold Cup didn't attack and was not offensive at all in the last 10 minutes of the game with Poland and lost it on purpose because they chose it that way to advance to the next game, and Kozuka gave the explanation that it was the same with Yuzuru's strategy in PC Olympics in terms of having easier jumps and aiming for the clean skate. Personally, I don't take Kozuka's words seriously but he could have made different comments since casual viewers were likely to misunderstand him easily.
 
Yuzuru and Plushenko performed together in finale was so gorgeous and touching...
 
We have another version of H&L in the broadcast now? I hope so! He tried 3F and the performance was better.
