Yuzuru Hanyu

[TallyT]

I love the stats!
I am not sure about bilibili as the archive access can still be bought on Beyond Live...

Oh yes! I shouldn't have forgotten that since I have it and will rewatch it tonight!

The affluence of fans of Yuzuru Hanyu's in Saga has impressed taxi drivers:

This one, albeit old, was impressed to see a passenger from Chiba (to the North of Tokyo, while Saga is on the island of Kyushu), but his next passenger was from the USA, also to watch Yuzuru Hanyu:

After RE_PRAY in Saga Day 1, this fan made a compilation of recent occurrences of Yuzuru Hanyu saying "yoisho", which is an encouraging word before lifting something heavy, but usually considered a bit childish (if I understand correctly; I don't speak Japanese):

Of course, most if not all his fans find it cute and endearing, but he must have seen this compilation as he reacted today saying that he shouldn't say this word and that he's not cute (I'm sorry Mr Hanyu, this is something where I'm in disagreement with you; although I admit that you have cute moments, rather than be cute all the time as you were as a child and a teenager):

The whole of it is VERY cute and endearing, and already inspires fanart:

He is not going to win on the 'not cute' bit, especially as he doesn't age...

This is actually announcing a new photobook "Y" with photos by Yoshiki Kogaito to be published on February 7 (available for international shipping)

I hope that the link works? Because it seems that it can't be embedded.

Here's an extract of RE_PRAY in Saga Day 2, showing Yuzuru Hanyu interacting with the public after Rondo (and proving himself wrong again, in pretending that he's not cute):

Now, Yuzuru Hanyu has left Saga, and Saga Prefecture mascot Gatagoro couldn't meet him personally:

While we are waiting for the Re_Pray Saga Day 2 archive to be compiled and made available on Beyond Live, it has been announced that BS Nippon TV will re-broadcast Notte Stellata 2023. Great news for those with access to Japanese TV ! And a great teaser before NS DVD/Blueray is released early in February, reminding viewers how precious the show was and how worthy it is of being bought for personal archive.

 

[TallyT]

Me too...

Specialized tour-operator JTB have 400 tickets for a Notte Stellata package, of course there will be a lottery to determine the buyers too:

One can opine on RE_PRAY in Saga Day 2 on TV Asahi's site, but it seems reserved to their subscribers?

Here's an answer:

To be true, no skater can imitate him, even very remotely. He's so far above any other!
