He is right, it is so beautiful.

Sports Hochi will be running a series of articles on NS...

How can someone who has been famous since his midteens still be so adorably shy when meeting another star?

Here's a translation of the dialogue between Yuzuru Hanyu and Notte Stellata 2024 special guest, Mao Daichi:

"I'm Hanyu. I figure skate."

Yep, you could say that

 

[Magill]

"I'm Hanyu. I figure skate."

Yep, you could say that

Has some of "My name is Bond" vibe to it, right?
But my favourite is this: "Basically, I think it is probably more fun to ask for the impossible and do it"

Here comes Part 5 of Yuzuru's interview with Mr Itoi, creator of Mother 2 and renown Japanese interviewer. In today's part, they talk about artistry in figure skating, balancing it with TES and about scoring. Very insightful, a strong voice in art vs sport discussion and a must-read for anyone who loves FS.

Part 5 Margins, expressions, and scores | No matter when the world might end – Hobo Nikkan Itoi Shinbun | Yuzuru Hanyu | ほぼ日

Yuzuru talks about the importance of leaving a “blank space” for viewers to think when he’s expressing himself.

Someone has linked the dots with asthma too...

(Yuzuru Hanyu has been diagnosed with severe asthma at the age of two, and sometimes we see the blue lips at the end of a program... Two pages ago, Magill posted his World Championship 2012 Free Skating, iconic Romeo & Juliet, where the blue lips and difficulty at breathing is very visible just after the program.)

There are also advertising screens for Notte Stellata 2024 on Hulu at the Sendai station:

Those at the Tokyo Station will remain until May 10th, which seems exceptionally long for advertising on such a prominent support? Anyway it gives us an indication that the shows will be accessible on Hulu for some time, for those who mean to visit Japan this Spring:

The SEKKISEI ones at Shinjuku are planned to remain until March 10th, I think they will have been there for two weeks, which seems more usual as a duration?

Speaking of SEKKISEI (but the SEKKISEI Miyabi campaign of Yuzuru Hanyu photo books), are these pages from one of them?
https://twitter.com/yuzuspiration/status/1764971228886876336


If they are, were SEKKISEI prudent enough so as to print at least a million of them? What if the whole production of SEKKISEI Miyabi products is exhausted, will people be able to order some for next year and still get the photo books?

Sports Hochi will have special articles about Notte Stellata 2024 everyday from March 6th to March 12th, starting with an interview of special guest Mao Daichi:

They are! There was a Sekkisei China live event today, where both books were leafed through:

And here's the other one, the one with a Transparent Holiday cover:

The room where I am has become hot, all of a sudden...

In a similar mood, World Figure Skating magazin - the one whose 100th anniversary edition cover was recently graced by Yuzuru making it sold out before it even got printed - published a short behind-the-scenes clip from this photoshoot, apparently in one of the outfits featured on its inside pages and not the cover one. There was also an interview to match

Wow.........

Yuzuru again being the saviour of the Japanese print industry.....

This behind-the-scenes documentary by News Every keeps giving, particularly for fanart, be it Yuzuru Hanyu being so intimidated before meeting Mao Daichi:

Having seen this part of the documentary, this fanartist made a guess about the program:

Of course, the Notte Stellata 2024 posters remain an inspiration:

Regarding the Baby Pooh on a tissue box which appeared in this same scene, the theory that it's Old Pooh and Yuzu Pooh's baby is there:
https://twitter.com/vickywz/status/1764653299947696623


BUT I've read an alternative theory, that this little Pooh isn't a baby but a chibi. After all we have many chibi Yuzu with different program costumes, this would be a chibi Pooh with Haru yo! Koi costume, perhaps Haru-chan's (the Haru yo! Koi chibi) friend.

We're reminded that the Zuihouden shrine, a highlight of Sendai, and the mausoleum of its founder Date Masamune, will exhibit the decorations for Tanabata festival, inspired by Yuzuru Hanyu's costumes, from 7th to 17th:

​

Being that Notte Stellata will be held from 8th to 10th, then on 11th there will probably be a commemoration of the Great Eastern Earthquake, then from 12th the band Sekai no Owari will give concerts in Rifu (in the same venue as Notte Stellata), then on 16th, photographer Sunao Noto will hold a conference in Sendai; I think that these dates are well chosen.
Here's Sasanqua, a program on Yuzuru Hanyu's Youtube channel, on a song by Sekai no Owari, it's nearing 2 million views:
