As last year, Yuzuru Hanyu has sent Fantasy on Ice invited artists, special monakas from Maison Cœlacanth, Sendai:

This is especially sweet as it's not his show as such, even if he is the star - it's that personal touch (and pr for Sendai! No wonder the city loves him)

And he is still the absolute master of the hydroblade, no one else comes close with this beautiful move.

Since last year Fantasy on Ice, Maison Cœlacanth has had a steady flow of customers for their monakas, every tourist wants theirs and I believe that many people from Sendai too. I'm now expecting a boost. Let's hope that they are prepared!

As to the future, after the Aichi stop Yuzuru Hanyu will leave Fantasy on Ice 2024, but we now have some hope, or dreams, for a rather near future, as Ice Rink Sendai will be closed to the public on July 19th, the second anniversary of Yuzuru Hanyu's determination, to become a professional skater:

Yuzu's idea of taking it easy and that for most other people are... different. I had a near heart attack when I realised he meant he'd only do some quads instead of all of 'em.

Same here

Here comes "Meteor" with English subtitles! I appreciate it particularly knowing how picky and sensitive Yuzu is about lyrics of the songs he skates to (I also share this love and attention for lyrics with him, so I double appreciate it)!

I must say I really love the Meteor costume (and the whole program, too!


And here's from Yasuto Kobayashi / Hochi News

There had been nice interactions too, with Adam Siao Him Fa, Yuzuru Hanyu acting like an "older brother", and Takanori Nishikawa:

This poster observes that the sound we got from TV notably differs from the original sound of the song, particularly a lack of drums, and that with the original sound, particularly the beginning when he "puts on his boots" and a whole step sequence, made much more sense:

Rena Uezono isn't any skater, she's a longstanding fan:

I'm so happy that she could meet Yuzuru Hanyu for real!

Here are other photos from the Finale, kindly posted by Sponichi:

After seeing these Sponichi photos, Gatagoro, the mascot of the Saga prefecture (who started fanyuing when Yuzuru Hanyu skated RE_PRAY in Saga last year) is now dreaming that he's Keiji Tanaka:

He was very happy to see that a fan had thought of him and brought his and Yuzuru Hanyu's effigy to Fantasy on Ice in Makuhari:

Fanartists love Meteor. In Yuzuru Hanyu's program he's one-winged because of a sacrifice he made (as in Gundam) but some fans prefer a two-winged or even a four-winged version, this one made of an acrylic figure of Yuzuru Hanyu in Hope & Legacy costume and probably part of a toy Gundam robot:

Tonight I'm into Meteor fanart, which doesn't mean that there are but few non-Meteor fanart pieces:
