They also got a chance to ask him about Daisuke's come back. He said "Daisuke will always be someone I admire. I don't feel strongly about win/lose, just very much looking forward to his performance and the chance to skate together at Nationals. "

You cannot say Yuzuru isn’t ambitious. 
I can’t wait to see how his plans play out. Hopefully he has success without injury.
I’m very happy to hear he plans to bring back the 4L. When done well, he does it beautifully. Sorry to see the hidden 3F go though. Not surprised about the Lutz being MIA considering his injury and honestly I never thought it was his best jump.

Is anyone guessing Johnny might work with Yuzuru again for the costume?

I wonder how the coreography for Origin is gonna turn out, Yuzuru is more contemporary than balletic...

I think he might do homage steps to Nijinsky in the step sequence. Or he might do something incredibly new. I love how he is going to bring his own side to this famous song.

I think he may need a year or two to challenge lutz and flips again in competitions. But it also means he is planning to compete longer. I'm sure he won't retire without the full quad package (excluding flip), given his wild passion and ambition for skating itself. [emoji18]You cannot say Yuzuru isn’t ambitious.

I tend to imagine that a 4A would replace the 4Lo, rather than being moved in front of it.

About historic records, "To be honest, I was very surprised that three programs of SEIMEI, Ballad no.1, Hope And Legacy remained as that records, and honestly I am also so happy about it.", he smiled.
And he was also asked about the new system. "Younger generation, they are only 3 years younger than me, but in a way I am looking forward to seeing how they will compete under the new system."
"If I am allowed to say one thing, (time length of ) 4 minutes and 30 seconds turned to be 4 minutes but in fact, 4 minutes is harder."
"You may think the number of jumps was reduced, but in fact I have been feeling recently 4 minutes is harder. It is busy. We can execute a triple jump in about 10 seconds, from preparation to its landing. Then it leads to cutting 20 seconds, which makes us busier. I had been thinking that I had to make a program studying a lot and doing the research. "

OMG! 
I can't wait it!Why would he get rid of his 4Lo? The BV upgrade from 3Lo -> 4A is much higher than the upgrade from 4Lo -> 4A

I've just read this article, "4T, 4S, 4Lo are coming back. I am thinking I will not do 4Lz for a while because I have a little anxiety. I sometimes feel wrong when I put my toe in Lz and F, but I don't feel pain."

He'd have to discard his second highest-scoring quad. It'd make more sense discard a 4T if he wanted to play it safe and stick to a 4 quad program. So the 4 would move in front of the 4Lo anyway.

Do you believe him? I don'tIt's mr i-will-not-put-4lz-in-my-FS. He probably landed it
And we'll have the video of 4A filmed on media day during GPS

The 4Lo is itself an extraordinarily difficult quad jump. Attempting a 4A is a big risk in and of itself, and would be a huge achievement. Going immediately from successfully landing one of those to attempting a 4Lo as well would be even more strenuous. The point difference between the Loop and the Toeloop is insignificant, in a world where he's landed a 4A.
Point-wise, the difference between the 4A and the other quads isn't that much (only one point between 4A and 4Lz, same as between the 4T and 4Lo), so depending on what his competitors skate/how the judges handle GOE this season, he may need those extra BV points.
