Yuzuru Hanyu: 2018-2019

[Imov]

Thank you! I’m having an agent who specializes in getting concert tickets do the lottery on my behalf, hopefully her experience would help me get my hands on a ticket
Too bad I started considering going too late. I could’ve had her try the competition tickets as well

ETA: Alas, even experienced hands weren’t able to get the ticket on the Japanese site. I didn’t realize they opened the international site as well and was too late when I found out.

Tickets for Monday and Tuesday practice is still not sold out. Its not sure whether Yuzu will come there though.
He might reserve his strenght or just go to the later practices.

Ah thank you! This is such a gamble... so we don't know when and which rink Yuzu'll turn up at. And I'm not sure if I can be in Japan by Tuesday as well :S

Does the first row of the table means gates open?
then show starts for the middle one?
then end of show the last?

I suspect the Sendai one will sell out as fast as a major competition, and be every bit as emotional as COiNTU.... with luck it'll be a live broadcast.

You are exactly right :thumbsup:

I think Yuzuru's participation in FaOI is almost 100% sure because his talk show by P&G had already been announced, who do you think "the secret guest" is in it? It might be Plushenko but it doesn't sounds "secret", maybe Javier? I'm guessing it will be a skater in FaOI members.

Also honestly, I am looking forward to CiONTU to be announced more than any ice show. Last year, it was kind of late we were informed of it and we got almost panicked Hope we'll know as soon as possible if he is planning to do it arty:

 

[YuzuOnIce]

Oh interesting, where was the P&G announcement made, on the faoi website?

 

[yude]

Just a random thought, but aren't we amazing we don't quit being Yuzuru' fans while we have almost no clue how he has been doing for so long? No competition, no pictures, no comments from him, but we are always here patiently and waiting for him to return. Besides, this happens every year Seriously, it is incredible a person doesn't loose his popularity with no appearance and Yuzuru himself is showing he can make it possible, because he is beyond amazing.

This is the FanFest, I have the right to say this, right?

Do you mean the talk show? It was announced long time ago, like last summer or begging of the fall, and I think it was on P&G website not on FaOI's. The attendees have been chosen already by the lottery.

More, more!

Of course praises for Yuzu should be freely expressed here.
I wonder if Sendai FAOI will have a lottery.
I am gonna go back to that spiral again.

Absolutely He's worth the waiting, and people know that when he does come out from the cave, he will give his all to make it worth the wait (as was proven exactly one year ago today!!!!)

(Of course, that there are so many Hanyu fans posting art, music, videos, thoughts, celebrations to make the wait easier to bear doesn't hurt... )

Interspectator, you are so right. Lately I've been smiling to myself about this exact same thing. It's just true.

Must have been quite a rush. Yuzuru didnt have time to adjust his jacket collar and comb his hair.

An update!
To me, this is an indirect confirmation that he won’t be attending but who knows.
Either way, a video is better than nothing!

ETA: they also posted it on instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt8nTuxFHu0/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=q1c6iblowkq0

Laureus have had a firsthand look at how devoted and numerous the Hanyu fan base is, every time they've put up a post about him they get the highest retweets and replies, people simply telling them how wonderful he is and how he deserves to win...

I still won't be too disappointed if one of the others get it, there are some amazingly inspiring and deserving stories in the Comeback section, but oh if he did....

(Mind you, if he does win and does a video'd acceptance, pleasepleaseplease Yuzu wear a suit that fits. hmmmm?)

 

[yude]

It's great morning seeing Yuzuru's face in Laureus's video, he is looking good! (Laureus, did you read my post? )

It seems they have live stream for the award on their Facebook.

I don't know if I can watch this because it starts at 1.30 AM in where I live, but I won't be able to sleep well either way so maybe I'll try to stay awake. I also think Yuzuru is likely to stay in Toronto on that day, and he might not win. But this will be a great opportunity for letting the world notice that figure skating still lives.
