Yuzuru Hanyu: 2019-2021

[Farnaz]

"All the Chinese fans were discussing on Weibo what to do with their anger and impatience about the corrupt enterprise trying to register Mr. Hanyu's name as a product.
As a result, ANA made a strong statement saying, "We are aware of the incident. We will be watching over Mr. Hanyu along with all of you." What a relief. Thank you."

Thanks a lot for your fantastic translation, so there was a product which was trying to use Yuzu’s name without his permission.

Says something about how loved and popular he is in China (I mean, even his name???) and I really don't think it can be legal anywhere to trademark another person's name, but I'm glad ANA have made the statement and made it clear it is something they will handle rather than Yuzuru needed to even think about it himself.

If he does know about it, I think he'd be bemused more than anything...

Ps - apparently this is by no means the first one to try and hijack his name...

I am also very thankful for ANA

According to this lawyer, their application will be declined as in the past. There were 5 applications before but they all were turned down.

Also I want to mention here that there are Yuzuru's fake account on twitter and blog now, please ignore them and report them (if you like).

You're welcome! Yeah, I wonder what kind. Hopefully it was at least something cool and nothing silly like Yuzuru Hanyu brand foot cream or something. "Buy Yuzuru Hanyu brand foot cream! Makes your feet as smooth as Yuzu's jump landings!"

 

[TallyT]

Yes, a Yuzuru product would need to be something very special...

A Chinese dragon prince? I think I need to see this movie... and given that it says in the tweet that it's the highest grossing animation ever, I may be able to hunt it out

I watched the film last weekend (it's huge in China). A Hanyu reference never crossed my mind, but the Dragon Prince was indeed quite beautiful, even by animated character standards.

There might be some important developments here, https://twitter.com/ponycanyon/status/1159767068108963840?s=20
Ponycanyon, which produced Yuzu's DVD (time of awakening), is going to post some kind of youtube video connected to Yuzuru Hanyu at midnight on the 11th.
Could it be another DVD? I hope so!

But of course, how could a character inspired by Yuzu be other than beautiful?

Could it be another DVD? I hope so!

Oh yes please!!!

Saw @interspectator's post. This will.be very interesting

If it is "time of awakening #2", it is likely to include Yuzuru's performances at Japanese nationals, 4CC, Worlds, and PC Olympics. (but not from GPS since it is covered by TV Asahi). We'll find out in 18 hours

After appearing in Japanese school textbooks, Yuzu's life story is also featured in Taiwan's Junior High School textbook, meaning every teenager there will get to read about his story. I love how in the pictures they even replicated the exact same costume from his baby photo

Wow, I wonder if someone in publishing team was a real fan of Yuzuru because it is not like everyone knows that photo of Yuzuru holding balloons :luv17:

Many thanks to the translator.

I saw a clip on youtube once, a 'behind the scenes' of the photoshoot and they were so lovely together.... obviously she has fond memories :luv17:

Ponycanyon must have worked so hard to break the wall between the stations and companies! I am so glad that my favorite performances are in the disc, especially H&L at Helsinki and GPS of 2015-2016. Japanese fans are speculating they were not able to have LGC because of copyright issue. I thank Mr. Hisaishi :thumbsup:

This. Is. Epic. Origin-themed fireworks, a MASSIVE display of sheer gorgeousness.
