Yuzuru Hanyu

The English version of the January issue of the Sendai City Magazine is online:

They had said that it was a matter of days, they were true to their word. I'm not sure that this will stop the resale of the paper version (which was sent to all Sendai families by the end of last month) on the Sendai flea markets.

Here's the direct link to the English version of this municipal magazine:

The most interesting part for me is what sounds like he was preparing for what he does now, meaning his solo shows, well before Beijing ... I wonder how.... Very interesting. But it seems he had some ideas nourished and worked upon for much longer than we would think.

I'm understanding from p.6, that he also plans to hold shows in that Xebio Arena that will be refurbished? It's currently a Basketball venue, which will become from 2025 a permanent ice rink which may be used for Figure Skating practice except on the local Basketball team's meetings, when a Basketball floor will cover the ice; and these meetings are usually on weekends, while Figure Skaters don't practice on-ice on Sundays. Many think that this ice rink will be a perfect practice rink for Yuzuru Hanyu, and maybe a few other high level skaters, but while the 3000+ seats are fine for the Sendai Basketball team meetings, it was quite uncertain if Yuzuru Hanyu himself would consider it as a venue for shows. The Sekisui Heim Super Arena in Rifu near Sendai, mentioned in the article, holding "only" 6,000 seats with an ice rink, is deemed small for Yuzuru Hanyu's shows (such as Notte Stellata 2023 and 2024). But Yuzuru Hanyu himself seems to be considering ice shows just fit for this future Xebio Arena!
He really loves Sendai.

I imagine it would be very convenient for him to have an arena available close to home, with rehearsals and at least certain number of shows not requiring much travelling, nor staying in hotels, plus the joy of bringing all these people to his beloved home city. But is it possible that during refurbishing they would also expand the stalls to make more seats for the audience available to solve the size problem?

This would also allow do validate or invalidate the vampire theory. ;)
I really don't know if they have space enough to expand the number of seats, as this is in an urbanised area.
Anyway, on 10th we should have a brief video from this interview on the LINE site of Sendai City, and on 31th, a behind-the-scenes video. We are spoilt!
 
Links to the documentary, I missed the start and am hoping someone uploads it when it's finished :)

What is clear is how hard he worked to make this wonderful for his fans.
