There's a thread of photos here.

I don't know yet, haven't had time to check, I will let you know. To be honest, I didn't care. I just wanted it

Yeah, I know, me too! I am just curious to know before I can check myself

And another photo, they are coming thick and fast...

Bits of Yuzu from the grand finale, including his unexpected impromptu little dance

Taisei Miyakawa (Miya) was there!

They met when Yuzuru Hanyu had a collaboration with him at Fantasy on Ice 2022, with the program Raison on Taisei Miyakawa's song Raison d'Être, a wonder.

RE_PRAY today was amazing! Dark Messenger was incredible (his jumps were gorgeous), and everything was simply stunning.

Yuzu looked absolutely exhausted by the end. I hope he takes some rest in between now and Notte Stellata, though there’s not that much time.

Here's an interview extract:

Here's DeepL's automated translation:
"I had a sense of accomplishment that I could finish today. It may be hard for you to imagine, but in a way, I feel as if I have won the Olympics, because I have achieved what I have practiced so hard for. I am happy because I achieved it, and the loneliness that came along with my happiness made me feel a little sad, as if I had already accomplished it. But I think I can still improve my composition and become stronger, so I will practice more."

This doesn't look like an announcement of some rest before Notte Stellata, @Leocadia , I'm afraid.

This is very true, the show was flawless today and the jumps were gorgeous! He was visibly and truly exhausted by the finale but I think he was also - as he said himself - drained, as it often happens when you reach an end, this kind of exhaustion that comes with the sense of accomplishment. And today it was not just an end to the show, but to the whole tour. But, yes, he was incredible today!!!

Today’s show is even better than the first day. The audience screamed and clapped so much, I think he can feel the energy.

I am so so so so happy now.

So happy for you!!! Hope you have given an extra clap or two on behalf of us all here
Actually I had a feeling the audience was particularly loud today but I wasn't sure cause the level of background sounds always depends a bit of the stream producers. Good to know it was truly so!
Have a safe journey home (and enjoy your time in Japan while you're there)!

I hope that your luggage is large enough for all the merchandises and photo books you could buy!

The TELASA announcement cannot be more official:

The streaming will start on Friday 23d at 11.11am (this is such a kind gesture to Yuzuru Hanyu from them!), and the seven streamings will succeed each other:

I really hope that we will have a tutorial showing how to register and buy the service for international viewers; and as it seems impossible (except for a few) to watch seven times RE_PRAY at the time it is streamed, I hope that it can be recorded.

This same move of hands (from what I read, it's a gesture specific to Ashura in Buddhist tradition) and mouth, inspired these two very talented fanartists:

These two were inspired, not by the same gesture, but by the same outfit, in the final speech:

On his Instagram account, Taisei Miyakawa shows that he came to see RE_PRAY with his mother:

I remember that after Fantasy on Ice 2022. Miya had invited Yuzuru Hanyu to holidays in his parents' house in an island, with plenty of seafood.
Will this be the occasion for a renewal of this invitation?
