Hoping that every day is a good day for rest and training.
--And a little sports news:

Yuzu was awarded “Special sport broadcasting award” in the award ceremony for TV Asahi’s Big sports award occurring 1/10. He didn’t appear, but sent his video message. Translation in replies below.

He looks younger in the support video for the soccer team in 2020 than in 2015 to be honest .

Also the Yuzuru Hanyu concert booklet with over 40 pages of photos (including childhood ones) on sale on the axelstore. It's got inbuilt proxy so can be shipped overseas to international fans.

It's still January but Japan has been turning to the color of the Olympics already, I wonder how it will be before the summer

Today is "Coming of age day" in Japan and the new adults wear Kimono or Hakama, and here is Yuzuru in Hakama when he was twenty. He had been hospitalized on his "Coming of age day" because of surgery, but after that he had a chance to do this for the photo shoot of magazines. He looks stunning!

It seemed that #YuzuruHanyu spent last Christmas at a hot spring hotel in Sendai. He left an autograph to thank the continuous cheering of the hotel. ♨♨♨

Great to know he was able to have some down time after Nationals!

My exam is on the 7th o.o. Is that a sign? I hope it is and I hope it's a positive one QQ.

A wonderful translation of Yuzu's interview with Waseda University https://axelwithwings.com/2020/01/1...a-sports-part-1-excerpt-from-group-interview/ In 3 parts.
Many thanks to the translators.

FS and Gala on the same day? Wow. I totally forgot, has it been always like that?

When I saw him for a second in other skater's IG taken at TCC in the end of December, I was honestly sad. But now I am so happy to know Yuzuru seems to have spend the time with his family in Sendai :luv17:

Hanyu has been appointed global ambassador of the high-end cosmetic line "Sekkisei Miyabi" from March 2020

The design of the cosmetic line's counter will be by the same architect for the Tokyo Olympic Stadium.

More news and promotions will follow later. Cannot wait!

I just checked last year’s schedule and the Free Dance was on the same day as the Gala. I guess it’s not irregular only this time it’s the Men’s instead, which makes me wonder how they are going to fit in the gala practice.
Last year was Dance practice - Gala practice - Free Dance - Gala, in order. But that was possible because there were half as much Dance teams as Men. They can’t possibly fit all those in one day for the Men’s event. Or even if they can, it’s going to be very tiring

I think Helsinki CoF the year before also had gala and men free on same day.

Thank you for checking I hope Yuzuru will finish competition safely

Very surprising news :shocked:

I think so far he is only confirmed for two of the SOI stops though.

Yes, Yokohama and Hachinohe.

It seems this is the first time in 6 years he participates in SOI, I remember he skated in white T-shirt and blue jeans in group number with Japanese skaters at SOI 2014.

Does his non-participation have anything to do with his sponsorships? I’ve seen some people implying that the P&G sponsorship was the reason he hasn’t been doing SOI. Or did it just ended like this due to injuries & such?

Is P&G associated with Fantasy on Ice? Will this lower the chance of him going to FaOI?
