As most Russian coaches, Eteri has always been highly appreciative of Yuzu's skating. She once got asked if there was any particular skater she would want to work with and she immediately said it was Yuzu. :yes:

I am sure everyone wants to work with Yuzu. I think he will grow and do his best with whomever he works with.
But what he needs is people who can assess well when he is pushing things too far and have the courage to calm him down when he is too into it.

Danill also said he wants to choreograph for Yuzu fairly recently [emoji2]. I wish Yuzu gets russian choreography someday.

Wasn’t his R&J 1.0 (or some of his other pre-TCC programs, I don’t remember) partly Russian choreography?
 
Yeah R&J 1.0 was coreographed by nanami Abe and reworked by a pair of Russian coreographers (bestemianova e bobrin iirc)

:noshake::noshake::noshake::noshake::noshake: Agree to disagree unless it's like Tarasova or something. I'm just typically not enjoying a lot of the choreography coming out of team russia's camp, save for Kolyada's stuff. Is Tat choreographing anymore? She gives Yuzu music but I'd love for her to give him a program. For other alternatives, I am liking what Charlie has done for Vanessa and Morgan. I am curious what kind of work he could do with Yuzu. Also Christopher Dean too because his work for Aljona and Bruno's PC free was outstanding!

The butting (oh never mind butting, ramming) of heads and iron wills would have been epic :popcorn:

Yes, R&J 1 was choreographed by Nanami Abe, Natalia Bestemianova, and Igor Bobrin.

And it was brilliant. I am inclined to think he will stay with Jeffrey and Shae-Lynn for now, they seem to get the man he's grown into, but I wouldn't mind seeing what a dramatic Russian (one that understands he will choose his own music, cuts, jumps, spins, ideas, influences, costume, and have I missed anything else?) could do....
 
If I remember correctly from our discussions in this forum in the span of years R&J 1 indeed is the most favourite of Yuzu's programs. Actually, most of us discovered him with that program in worlds 2012. Oh boy, time flies, doesn't it?
 
It was a fantastic programme. I still think he was the most complete Romeo we ever saw. And Max Ambesi loves R&J1, so who knows? If Yuzu does ever recycle a programme... we might get our wish. ;) (Though I don’t think he can top the WC12 performance. That was a moment and one of the skates of his life.)

True... Worlds 2012 still makes me wild when I watch it. But when he did the version sans jumps in COiNTU, it was still thrilling, he hasn't lost his wild side (and what does it say about Yuzu that all those stripped versions, because of his still-healing injury, were compulsively watchable anyway?)
 
My first Yuzu was Parisienne Walkways at Sochi. He was such a rock star. Still watch it regularly. Actually to be fair I watch a lot of his programs regularly and I don't know that I could choose a favourite :/
 
R and J1 in Nice and Let's Go Crazy in Sapporo are tied as my fave programmes so far.
I have them saved on my phone so I can watch it when I have bad days.

R and J1 for its rawness, emotion and sheer determination.
The way he stood up after he tripped.
Gave out a shout for an adrenalin rush.
When he couldn't help but cry knowing he gave it all he got.
The commentators saying it was one of THE BEST PERFORMANCES ever.
He fought for every jump, threw himself on every movement and released his inner soul, the artist within.

LGC in Sapporo was sultry for me.
For me it was the point where I realized that Yuzu has matured now.
I love that purple costume. That brush up hair. His hip move with snapping fingers motion.
That 3A high kick imagining it in my head makes me feel happy.

I actually felt happy after writing all of these down. Thank goodness we have this space.

Yuzu's Birthday is coming soon guys. ^^

Totally agree. His performance in Nice was so wild, so raw, so passionate. Even that freak fall was a characteristic moment of the program. I think it was an "in the moment" thing, nothing something to be replicated. Needless to say, it's my favorite of his performances EVER.

Also, I hope he doesn't recycle anything, ever. I need more programs :biggrin: Even LGC. Maybe in an exhibition someday.

coincidentally, i am watching WC12 and read this post. It was definitely the program that made him "Yuzuru Hanyu". R&J will always belong to Yuzuru and Yuzuru will always be the ultimate Romeo.
 
I have mixed feelings. Happy he’s prioritizing his health and the long-term, but at the same time it puts into perspective the degree of this injury. It saddens me to think that he has to go through this recover-rehab process again. Surely he doesn’t enjoy watching a competition where he ought to attend but can’t :(

Praying for your full recovery, Yuzu :pray:

The degree of his injury isn't necessarily worse than originally suspected. :pray: (knocking wood) I didn't see anything in the article saying that anything has changed. Hopefully it's more a matter of how even if it does heal completely in 3 weeks, that leaves him less than a week to prepare for the GPF.
