Short (appx. 10 minutes) Notte Stellata behind-the-scenes video focused mainly (but not solely) on Yuzu collaboration with Mao Daichi has been posted by News Every TV on their official YouTube channel. Enjoy!

Yes, we get nearly all the Carmina Burana collaboration with Mao Daichi, and with Yuzuru Hanyu's comments as a voice over sometimes!

About a year ago, Yuzuru Hanyu's signature appeared in a Hokkaido dairy farm which makes ice creams:

It is now known that Yuzuru Hanyu is a regular customer thanks to an acquaintance who buys them ice cream (mostly "milk" flavour) and brings it to Sendai. It's not the next door, as we say in French. There's about 200km regular train to Hakodate where the Tohoku Shinkansen stops.

This is an in-depth analysis of RE_PRAY from a video games viewpoint, which is what I want most to better understand the show, I hope that it will be translated:

The bookstores chain, which has already held a number of such exhibitions with this outfit, is satisfied with the number of fans it attracted.

What a great way to attract customers to a bookstore in these non-reader times! Honestly, Yuzu is supporting print industry in more ways than one

Here's Mikiko's words about Yuzu translated (from BTS soundtrack, I guess)
For those who do no know, Mikiko is an established and very respected dancer and choreographer in Japan (not for FS, for stage dance). She was the musical director of both Yuzu Ice Stories, GIFT and Re_Pray as well as e.g. Tokyo Summer Olympics closing ceremony

There are so many sources of inspiration for fanartists, the many latest and the past, and they clearly are inspired, here by the Notte Stellata 2024 backstage documentary where the collaboration between Mao Daichi and Yuzuru Hanyu in Carmina Burana was particularly highlighted:

And the beautiful lounge in Blue Fleeting Dream, and the pose cambré with two flexed arms in the Gucci/GQ photo shoot threads, go on growing, and, and... I'm completely overwhelmed by the amount and quality of fanart, and by the love it expresses.
