If I remember correctly, Kobe each year is always the one with the tighest embargo on pictures and videos

And their skill at it is wildly - if frustratingly - impressive....

Here is a translation of the interview between Jeff and Yuzu for the FAOI pamphlet. https://yuzuangel.tumblr.com/post/185457892891/interview-with-yuzuru-and-jeffrey-buttle-from-the Very interesting thoughts on choreography, and how Yuzu and Jeff approach it together.

We are lucky that he is so beloved and does have so many brilliant fan artists... on the other hand, it's his belovedness that probably got us the picture embargo in the first place!!!
 

The reports say Yuzuru was so happy and other skaters were, too :laugh: They gathered around Yuzuru and shared the moment :sad4:

I think today's clean 4Lz meant a lot to Yuzuru and also to us. 4Lz is the jump he got injured before PC Olympics and now he finally succeeded it in front of the audience again. I have so much respect for him for not giving up (you know, in the sports, it is so scary when you try the element which you got badly hurt before), I am saying this because I am one of the people who thought we would never see him doing 4Lz again even though I LOVE his 4Lz so much.

I post this here as celebration. Beautiful x 10000 :yahoo:

Before Toyama's show, we have P&G talk show on June 12. I hope the participants are allowed to write reports on SNS.

Have to admire his courage in working it up and taking all those risks in front of an audience, no matter how loving and supportive; many people couldn't.
 
Ok I am so overly happy for him today.

Welcome back 4Lutz. Please accompany and pledge loyalty to young master of Sendai Yuzuru Hanyu. Together with your brethren 4Toe, 4Sal and 4Lo charge head on to every season in victory of Gold. Along the way 4Flip and 4Axel make sure to find them. Accept them dearly for the overlord must achieve absolute dominance.

Fulfill the prophesy stated a year after the birth of Yuzuru Hanyu-sama:
この宇宙(そら)を抱いて輝く
少年よ 神話になれ
Go forth, shining boy, who embraces this universe, be a myth"

And on this way , 3A, please do not dishonour your master, for whilst he is gaining new comrades, you are still his most important comrade.

Dream-like days,
The drama that waits at the very very end
is the unbelievable, emotional finale.

Thinking back on it now
I get shaky and my eyes get hot
Hanyu Yuzuru san, you are the person...

The other day, on the final Masquerade of the Sendai performances
The jumps didn't go very well
after the show when he came to my changing room,
and in front of the changing room
apologized to me while hitting the wall, and was frustrated.

Then 5 days later,
The Masquerade of the first day in Kobe
He showed a soulful performance
Unbelievable,
and beyond imagination

From the last show in Sendai to the first show in Kobe, those 4 days
It must have been so difficult just to train the new program that was to start from the Kobe show

Just 5 days later
Kobe's opening performance
A perfect, flawless and transcendent Masquerade.

The jumps too were perfectly jumped.

And while I was singing with my soul
I saw that miracle

The emotions seem to build up in my throat

"I want this time to continue forever"

So today, the Masquerade of the 3rd day of Kobe performance
This time too, the jumps were a little out of condition.

Performances that last 3 days in a row
without rest in between
Always training, training training with all your might
It's easy to imagine stamina and force of will coming away

After the masquerade performance
Coming from the middle of the rink close to the stage where I am
Sweat pouring like a fountain more than ever
frustrated face

An expression of apology turned toward me
Somehow feelings welled up in me and I said 'Thank you' as we shook hands.

And then a few minutes later
Grand Finale
Skaters display their own jumps

The last one to challenge
Hanyu Yuzuru

First time was a triple
It looked like it was beautifully done
But he looked like he wasn't satisfied
He put up one finger
to signal 'one more time'

In my innermost thoughts
'It's okay, it's enough,
Don't overdo it'

Those feelings and
'i want to see it once more
You can do it Yuzu!'

my own feelings were mixed
and were indecipherable

And Yuzu made the approach
and picked up speed

He jumped
A quadruple
It was perfect
beautiful
when he was in the air
all the sounds seemed to cease
like time had stopped for everyone but Yuzu
A strange sensation

Then landing
Fist pump
Time started up all at once
A cheer fit to blow the roof off.
All the skaters with super speed
cheered and gathered
To Yuzu in the center of the rink

The stadium was strangely excited and full of emotion

I unthinkingly pointed my finger towards the heavens
Don't know why
but I was yelling
And some how overcame the urge to jump into the skating rink
but kept yelling.

"Yuzu!
You did it!
Thank you!"

Everyone is yelling and crying
in the middle of the rink hugging Yuzu
the joy is exploding
What a beautiful scene
It's a miracle,
But it's truly reality.

"I want this time to continue forever"
That feeling came again


The quad lutz is
a very difficult technique
which caused injury in the past
I was later to learn

Now, in my life
I am in a very important
very valuable time

In a miraculous but unmistakable reality.
Thank you.
Yuzu.


I did this quick translation but please post or comment if you see an error.
 
Yes!!!! Finally!!!
I hope we get the footage! And the skaters are all so nice, being so supportive of him :luv17:

And all of that - especially the parts I'm quoting - sounds like a poem, the enthusiastic poem of an enchanted fan. Very true poem. Every time Yuzuru's been jumping I feel like time stops to admire him in motion...

Thank you very much Interspectator for translation!
