On May 10th, khb will air an interview of Yuzuru Hanyu by Shintaro Ejiri, a former Professional Baseball player from Sendai, "Challenge Without Limits". Knowing Yuzuru Hanyu's interest for Baseball, I'm sure that he knew him beforehand and his merits, his great moments on the field... Last year, he was interviewed by another former Sendai Baseball player, Ginji Akaminai, and ir was so.


I'm not completely sure because while Shintaro Ejiri was born in Sendai, he's best known for having played for the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks, and it was a longer time ago?
 
Most fans of Yuzuru Hanyu know the Yuzuruha Shrine in Mikage, Kobe, which Yuzuru Hanyu visited twice, and many fans visit it every year, many hang "emi" with wishes for him. One of them noticed something abnormal at the roots of a red oak nearby, part of a red oak forest which is a designated monument. The fan told it and it happened to be a fungal infection, threatening the whole forest. Fans from Japan and abroad raised five times the amount that was necessary to cure the disease. The poster recalls the Yomiuri Shimbun from five years ago, maybe because the cure is now complete?

@0Ny6eq3 諭鶴羽神社と言えば、訪れた羽生ファンが敷地内のアカガシの異変に気付いてナラ菌被害が判明し、対策の資金が国内外のファンからの寄付で目標の5倍くらい集まって天然記念物であるアカガシ林が守られた話もありますね ご本人ではないけど彼が訪れなければ起こらなかった伝説となり得るかなと

Some stunning creative visuals for PREQUEL were posted by Koichi Kosugi, the show's art director for both parts of REALIVE, on his Instagram. True works of art! So lovely and so much in the spirit of the show! Reposting here from REALIVE thread in the Ice Show subforum.



 
Remember the Prefectural Sports Honor Award as voted in by 47.000 people in 47 Japanese prefectures which Yuzu obviously won from Miyagi residents? Here's the segment of the TV show where the award was presented with English subtitles. Enjoy!

Here's an interesting take on the meaning of peacock in Japanese culture, quite different from the West.
Actually many things carry quite different connotations in Japanese and Western cultures.

This "Couture on Ice" is a great title, a really catchy phrase. Maybe, just maybe it would make a wonderful symbolic reward for iconic costumes that could balance the current WTF award which personally I am not a fan of.
The CoI award could be named after Yuzu now, in fact. :rock:
