Here's ANA's Captain Hanyu:


I haven't seen a full translation yet, just bits, some with humour:

My favourite was:
Q: If you were to be reborn again, who would you like to be reborn as?
A. Hanyu Yuzuru
For all I know, this answer usually shows that the speaker is in a very good place mentally and emotionally, when he/she would not really like to change fates with anyone else. And that's a very good place to be in!

If I understand correctly, he would read the questions somewhere, then answer them? Here's the list of questions, but I don't have a translation of this list:


Here's another bit of translation:

This, while a few days ago, Taisei Miyakawa, who sang Raison in collaboration with Yuzuru Hanyu at Fantasy on Ice 2022, shew paintings of his, Midnight Sun:


Here's one of Yuzuru Hanyu's interpretations of Raison (here the last say, so it was followed by Notre-Dame de Paris as encore, a wonder):

Here's another bit of translation:

The Instagram post with the questions I have linked a few posts earlier works to the purpose, too, as Instagram has a built-in translation feature which works on this quite well (Twitter had it too but I do not know about X, it got sort of complicated).
As for the answers, I combined YT subtitling tool with an online audio translator.
And, yes, I think I have heard him speaking about Finland as his favourite / one of his favourite countries several times already (that is, apart from Japan, oc). He must have really liked it there. Italy seems to be new on this list.
I also wondered whether the song that made him cry two days earlier could actually be this Miya's demo called "Light" (which is whispered to be actually about Yuzuru / inspired by him or dedicated to him)?
PS I will always have a soft spot for Raison....

Thank you! I do believe that they have spoken of Finland together.

The most heartbreaking bit was about his worst dream. It was so sad and moving I will not quote it here... but OTOH the bit about scalp massage was pretty reassuring as were some other parts.
Plus Seimes's step sequence in Korea 2018 being his favourite (skating) memory - oh, how well I can relate to this, thank you very much!

I haven't seen this part, I'm rather scared.

As to Seimei step sequence, oh yes, his joy was so communicative and, although I didn't know him yet, resonates so well in me every time I watch it!

After ANA Captain Hanyu's Dynamite, Ashura-chan, Rude Boy, questions and answers, All Nippon Airways announces that they still have something to come:

So it seems that all the abundance of info and beauty we got today from ANA and AERA was just .... teasers ?!😮
I like it. Will happily obtain more :giggle:

I wouldn't say so about ANA's Questions and Answers video. In my opinion, it was one of the contents they're releasing progressively, each having its worth.
As to AERA, yes it seems to be a teaser, but we can see that one of the outfits in this teaser, had already photos published in the last issue of AERA featuring Yuzuru Hanyu; so, I'm tempted to believe that this photo shoot had been more than Red and Blue looks, and we will have something else? Some wonder if it couldn't be a photo book.

Don't be scared! Bad dreams are usually bad, this is their defining quality, so to say. And it's Yuzu who has this easiness of speaking about emotions and feelings without holding back. It's just the way he is and part of his appeal which is so wide because he resonates with our own feelings and emotions.

Yes, I know, I agree, It was a bit of figurative speech, so to say :)
But you're right, I also noticed some parts of the AERA teaser were new costumes and settings suggesting a completely new / unused material and some of it referenced the famous red and blue photoshoot known also as the "wedding" photoshoot.
Interesting what will come out of it? Photobook? But that would be great!

I have strictly no clue, it's just a possibility! I wouldn't want to raise expectations!
I haven't ordered anything yet, of the last photo books released, I don't think I will wait until they can pack the CLAMP book with it anyway. The choice is likely to be hard! But there are often books openings posted on Youtube, so one can see in advance (in poor quality of course, just to get an idea) the contents of the books. I think it helps. The Notte Stellata photo book set has for it that these are photographs from the same show, taken by three different, well known sports photographers who have followed Yuzuru Hanyu for years at competitions and shows, and who know when and how to take photos of his; because I'm really completely ignorant of the art of photography, and I would like to compare their takes.

And Phiten remind us how beautiful Yuzu being just simple Yuzu is....

And here's Phiten's vid translated. Actually Yuzu is speaking here of his Re_Pray tour tickets going on sale while thanking Phiten for being one of the sponsors - we are also grateful, Phiten :love:
Yes, the visual contrast between these two different images of him (Phiten and AERA) is really striking indeed. Versatile, right? This is what he's been always known for..
