Man that channel and accompanying interviews are full of I, I, I, me, me, me, my, my, my. Please support me, please look forward to my next posting. I’ll show you I am better than before.
What? You couldn’t win on competition ice and now you want to prove you are better on practice ice without the stress of competition and the scrutiny of the judges and technical panel? Lol, such a craving for adulation!
His channel is focused on him just like any athlete's or celebrity's channel of this type is focused on its owner. The main difference is that his is strictly professional, we see him training and - hopefully in the future - performing, but we do net get stories of him eating, shopping, vacationing, attending theatres, partying etc. Not that there would be anything wrong with that or that there is anything wrong with those who do that in their social media. This is just to show that, yes, it is not more but much less self-obsessed than most of those you see around, even belonging to complete non-celebrities.
HIs interviews are focused on him and his career just like most interviews with athletes are. This is what they are asked about by interviewers and this is what the audience is interested to hear. Not some kind of theory of the universe, they're not expert on it.
If you watched the practice video, he actually wanted to show he is "better" than he himself had been when performing Seimei to win OGM. A competition he actually did win.
As for proving anything, he has nothing to prove to anyone anymore. Like it or not, he is probably the most accomplished skater in the history of this sport (or one of the very few most accomplished ones). It does not mean he needs to be the fave of everyone or everyone needs to like him (although I do think that if you are a true fan of the sport you probably appreciate his sheer talent, even if he's not your personal cup of tea). And, accordingly, for this and a few other reasons, he has the biggest following, no doubt about it, like it or not.
And, no, I do not believe his current "path" will be followed by other big names. Just because their following is not big enough.
This is no chest beating as this has no personal importance or relevance to me. This is just stating facts. His popularity in terms of both numbers and intensity is of the volume unknown in this sport. So what? Why not just accept it for a fact and move on?
Why do you need to attack and belittle him so much? Because you have different faves? But then why not go praise them in other threads instead of spreading negativity and toxicity here?
), but he is truly one of a kind. Thank you, Yuzu
