Is this a wish to have One Summer's Day at Notte Stellata 2024?

I think as far as fans are concerned, he could show One Summer's Day everywhere and we would all be happy. It's a work of art and pure beauty.

I would guess that, apart from Notte Stellata itself, it's anyone guess what he will skate, either new or beloved older. I would love to see Origin again, though it seems it's a long shot...
 
Hey there, so I'm not really following what he's up to these days - can someone give me a very short summary of what he's doing right now, planning to do in the next year, and whether he will ever come to Europe for a show?

He's just finished a hugely successful solo tour, RE_PRAY (sold out everywhere, livestreamed, live on TV and in cenimas, you name it :biggrin: and there are a billion vids uploaded at Planet Hanyu or on twitter, tiktok etc), and is gearing up to head the Notte Stellata 3 day show centred around remembrance for the 2011 earthquake and raising money for disaster relief (it's on 10-12/3, and the full cast is at https://nottestellata.com/). We haven't heard of any further plans as yet, Fantasy on Ice is likely because he is always there and he was the headliner of Stars on Ice last years so fingers are still crossed. Whether he has other wild plans like GIFT and RE_PRAY... probably, he is keeping us waiting. Whether he goes overseas given that all of his Japanese shows are even bigger bloodbaths than the competitions used to be (and foreigners can get on on the lotteries), who knows?

Only Yuzu.

Just one thing, Notte Stellata this year is March 8th-10th, unlike last year.
There's right now a behind-the-scene broadcast on News Every, which can be accessed only from Japan, but will be posted on Youtube by News Every rather soon. There are already reports, and he's working with Shae-Lynn Bourne-Turok on a new program! So, she's not there only as a performer, but also as a choreographer, which makes me wonder if David Wilson will be there, like last year.
Here's a post from News Every:

So it seems the BTS must have been aired already as I think this little clip coming up on many feeds must come straight from it. Yuzu and Shae-Lynn Bourne-Turok working on a new programme via Zoom. Just a glimpse! It looks awesome!
 
Another detail you may have noticed in the 6:20s in the video, is a baby Pooh! Something had completely escaped us while focusing on a possible rivalry between Old Pooh (left in Toronto from March 2020 to April 2023) and Yuzu Pooh (who did the interim) is that they might have changed in time, in their mutual feelings. Winnie the Pooh is named after Winnipeg, a Brownlack Bear "from the Canadian Forest" (as said Yuzuru Hanyu himself in the February 2020 CBC interview between 5:00 and 5:20 in the video in link).

Black bears, says Wikipedia, mate in June or July and give birth in late January or early February after a 235-day gestation. This is what must have occurred with with Old Pooh and Yuzu Pooh I suppose? I'm afraid we may have Pooh gender debates for some time. Anyway, congratulations to the new parents and to the Pooh keeper, and long life to Baby Pooh!

Edit: error fixed.

I am not sure if it has been linked here but, well, in the worst case we will be reminded once more of that Hochi article where Itoi shared his impressions of Yuzu after interviewing him for 2 hours for his website. Here come some excerpts:
