They would have to drag me away from that display (really, I have had to be dragged away from particularly wonderful exhibitions at museums or galleries :laugh: and Yuzu is every bit as beautiful :biggrin:)
Yurindo publishers and bookstore will also host one of Yuzuru's photographers, Kogaito-san on their YouTube channel live on February 13 for a precious glance behind the scenes (or should I say, behind the lens :)) - link in the Tweet below

I remember, maybe not accurately, that at the Elle/Gucci inaugural exhibition of the Gucci gallery in Ginza (Tokyo) with photos of Yuzuru Hanyu by Takay, people were limited to two minutes watching those gorgeous photos. It really need a serious amount of renouncement ability, self-sacrifice and all.

Here are the best known of these Elle/Gucci art x fashion photographs:


Here are a few other photos at this exhibition:
 
Yesterday (or the day before?), I forgot to mention the fourth anniversary of Hope and Legacy at Four Continent Championship Gala, here with the finale which was sooo cute (the program starts at about 5:20):

Hey, that's so great, thank you so much for sharing! But do you know what is the mascot Yuzu is playing with by the end of the finale just to throw it to the crowd as a goodbye? Someone gave it to him, obviously, by the end of the photo shoot but do you know it if has any special meaning or connection to the place or it is just a cute plushy?

If I understood correctly, this koala caught his eye (maybe because the next Four Continents was to be held in Sydney?), the cameraman gave it him, he played a bit in front of the cameras, then wanted to give it back to his owner, who refused, then played a bit again and launched it in the crowd. It's true that the popularity of this scene made of it a bit of an unofficial mascot of the competition.

Now I remember that Australia was still into one of its worst wildfire episodes, so I'm sure that Yuzuru Hanyu was feeling for them, and it may have been a way of showing his support.
 
Talking about anniversaries, here's TV coverage of Yuzuru's arrival to Incheon Seul Airport for Pyeongchang OG in 2018, on 11 February, also a Sunday, like today, to defend his Olympic title. Complete with fan screaming, airport interview and Shizuka comments :)
He looks so young and so confident while walking into this great unknown after such a long period off ice !
