Yuzuru Hanyu

The magazine is now, on preorders and one photo, number 1 on Amazon Japan

These are rather murder-faced butterflies indeed! I really love his intense gazes.

Happy Autumn everybody!
Otoñal means autumnal in Spanish.

Here's Yuzuru Hanyu's Otoñal (the cover photo is from 2018-2019 season, but the video is Skate Canada 2019):


Here's Johnny Weir's Otoñal Step Sequence, enhanced and skated by Yuzuru Hanyu on the occasion of Johnny Weir's retirement from professional Figure Skating, on the last day of Fantasy on Ice this year:

So, there is both a new AERA Magazine with photos of Yuzuru Hanyu's (to be issued on November 6th), and the photo+ book (to be issued on November 11th, that is 11/11, thank you AERA for this so hanyuesque date):


Here's a comment by Mika Ninagawa, the photographer of these AERA photos:

In response to ANA's Q&A posted yesterday when Yuzu mentioned Finland as the country he liked the best during his travels around the world and which he would like to revisit to see the white nights, Finnish Embassy in Japan responded by tweeting a warm welcome and inviting him to "please come and visit next summer"
Would he please take his show on this tour with him?

Who needs money anyway?

FRAU has published a new article with the photographer praising Yuzu as a model, as to remind everyone their November issue is to contain Yuzuru's photo collection.
The smiling new photo they have just published shows Yuzu scrolling down through fans' messages in the chat during the Share Practice, seems he really liked them ....

Seems like Yuzuru is the hottest kid in town!
We have coming:
AERA photobook
Notte Stellata (3 books set)
2022-2023 Photobook
The GOAT Photobook
FRAU magazine
AERA magazine
and last but not least: THE CLAMP'S GIFT
all to be released November / December.
I expect some more news will arrive as it is still quite a bit of time to go.
Plus Re-Pray will obviously have some merchandise of their own.
This is like Xmas. Now I need Santa to come early this year .....

Milan Cortina 2026 Olympics were not very long to join in:

Here's the log book for ANA's "special flight" with Yuzuru Hanyu, which is on Sunday (for the winners of course):

The rumour about the pretended identity of Yuzuru Hanyu's wife is still spreading. Several tabloids (and even a journalist working for the Mainichi) have said that as a local newspaper (who did nothing else than an easy guess after the initial tabloid article's precise description) had named her, they would do the same. And since yesterday they have found really "convincing" arguments:
- Miki Ando, who knows Yuzuru Hanyu, once followed the alleged bride's Instagram account (for those who don't know, there have never been any closeness nor friendship between Yuzuru Hanyu and Miki Ando);
- Yuzuru Hanyu's childhood idol, Evgueni Plushenko, is friend with a person of the same profession, so figure skaters and this profession are going along well, so she must be Yuzuru Hanyu's wife.
As you can see, these are really strong arguments, she must be the wife. Honestly, reading that, I wonder if I'm really awoke, or if it's not a big farcical prank. But no. Some people get convinced, not by arguments, but because of this insistence. This is so sad!

I think that Yuzuru Hanyu skated only once in Nebelhorn Trophy, it was in 2011, the first competitive outings of Étude and of Romeo & Juliet 1:

I'm not certain that this is a first for this mascot, but NekoMasamune celebrated the beautiful "red butterfly" photo of Yuzuru Hanyu's in the AERA photobook, with a doll clothing:


Today, NekoMasamune celebrated the coming of Autumn:

"Rien ne sert de courir, il faut partir à point" (slow and steady wins the race). Kfanyus (Korean fans of Yuzuru Hanyu) are already preparing his next birthday (December 7th), they plan to have posters in the subway:

I've never seen that 1994 one, wasn't he an adorable baby?

Here's Yuzuru with Phiten staff. They are among those who make his solo shows possible for him and for us. We owe them!

 

[Magill]

Oh, wow! Yuzu-san and Pooh-san having their Zen moment

Sekkisei has just published a new, longer behind-the-scenes video of their latest Yuzuru visual
They posted it on their Instastory so it is being reposted pretty heavily by now as fans want to keep it from disappearing.

 

[TallyT]

Ooooohhh..... lord, he is beautiful in this! And people have been posting caps...

 

[DizzyFrenchie]

I can very well understand them for waxing poetic!
Here's the Twitter version:


This happy buyer of the Miyabi serum got her Yuzuru Hanyu keychain, and knitted (or crocheted) an Hana ni Nare doll:
