Yuzuru Hanyu

[DizzyFrenchie]

There's 11 articles in the Notte Stellata 2024 shop, but there's also the pamphlet, and I'm really happy that it's available by anticipation; I hope that those who watch it in movie theatres (at least in Japan, because I don't know if they would sell it in HongKong and Taiwan if it's not translated, and it's such a logistics, plus probably administrative authorizations and all):

That bodyguard escort was unreal

That bodyguard escort was unreal

I have read that the best known of k-pop stars need such an escort, and the organisers had considered that Yuzuru Hanyu being (already!) enjoying a k-pop-star-like level of popularity in the country, he needed it.
Comparatively, at Four Continents 2020, there was no such escort but from what I understand, only journalists were allowed, yet he nearly was suffocated against a wall by the crowd of the journalists, who had managed to separate him from Ghislain Briand. Fortunately, he escaped, and without catching COVID.

The daughter's is beautiful - I mean it goes without saying for the mother as well, Haku has inspired so many gorgeous artworks, it highlights Yuzu's capacity for almost unreal beauty at times.

The daughter's is beautiful - I mean it goes without saying for the mother as well, Haku has inspired so many gorgeous artworks, it highlights Yuzu's capacity for almost unreal beauty at times.

In fact, this fanart piece is weeks old, I think it had been posted here. In a friend's opinion, it evokes an aspiration to freedom.

Yesterday's signing session yesterday went well at Kinokukiya Nagoya Airport bookstore, Y was sold out and Yoshimiki Koumi signed one of the photos hung on the wall:

The autograph is on a Haku photo.
I'm so pleased that after more than ten years of dedication, taking wonderful photos of Yuzuru Hanyu, "uncles" photographers get recognition, gratitude and rewards.

New version of the Notte Stellata 2023 DVD/Blue Ray promotion video was released, in fact several days ago but I don't recall seeing it here

The Kinokukiya bookstore of Yokohama, in turn, is starting an exhibition of AERA photos of Yuzuru Hanyu by Mika Ninagawa, which will last until 20th. Wait, Yokohama, until 20th? I think that they have an astute marketing team, and that many of those who go watch RE_PRAY in Yokohama on 17th and 19th will go and visit them...

Today is also the tenth anniversary of Yuzuru Hanyu's victory at individual Short Program and World Record (he was the first to pass the 100 points bar), here are two fanart works remembering the Kiss & Cry when the score was announced, with Mrs Yoshiko Kobayashi, one of the few people who helped him at the Japanese Skating Federation:
