Yuzuru Hanyu: 2019-2021

[yude]

Oooooh, ToshI released a new album with Cruel Angel's Thesis and the FaOI versions of Masquerade and Crystal Memories on it!

BTW, my friend played the original version of Cruel Angel's Thesis for me a while back. No offense at all to the original singer, but as a Yuzu fan for 5 years and a visual kei fan for 15, it just.... doesn't quite sound right to me if it's not ToshI singing it.

Toshl's tweet popped up on my TL about 5 minutes before Yuzuru's FS of NHK, he said he would be cheering for Yuzuru in his living room, and a few minutes later he said "Don't know why but I am in tears"

This photographer lives in Hokkaido and was very surprised that it was sunny and warm only during NHK. Left photo was taken today, and the right one is of yesterday. Fans are replying "Looks like Yuzuru has left Hokkaido already".

I'm glad it appears he rests well on his days off (then does mental work, but this is Yuzu, a total break would be something hard for him to comprehend, I suspect)

That last one made me angry, Yuzuru cares so much about his fans and not disappointing them, and then some damn reporter throws that at him at a time when he's just gone through a hugely stressful competition. I'm glad that fans are making it clear that they are on his side and love and support him no matter what.

Can we say that he is keeping the hair style of origin ? He looks mature, serious and handsome

While I know this interviewer doesn't have much knowledge and information about figure skating, that question ruined my night yesterday (and that Yuzuru's answer...nooooo :sad21 I am looking forward to GPF of course, but at the same time, I don't want to hear unnecessary comments by the media. But I am so sure we'll have to endure them watching TV news and articles and so on. Sigh. If they want Yuzuru to do well, why don't they just stop giving him pressure? If I were him, I would collapsed mentally long time ago.

Thank you too for sharing


I want to be 3A and 4A

My wish for him is that with the win at Skate Canada and now conquering the fear of injury in the GP series, he feels free and happy and raring to go with the final, Nationals and onwards.

For two years, his progress towards the peak has been harshly aborted, now with any luck, we will see him set free to fly as only he can...

 

[legendofgee]

did NBC or any english stations cover the event? haven't been able to find english commentary

 

[liv]

NBC covered the event, with Tara and Johnny commentating, of course.

Seeing all the NHK stuff, Yuzu is beauty turned to life.
I can't wait for the GPF and praying that he is injury free with the gold medal in his possesion

In a recent fan meeting set up by Sponsor Uniqlo, Fernandez shared some sweet anecdotes of him and Yuzu
https://twitter.com/crazykuroneko/status/1199842150571069441?s=20 Yuzu once lent Javi training pants when he forgot to bring them!

When you think of it, have he and Nathan competed together with Yuzu being in full health and strength since, umm, Worlds 2017? That - and their results so far this year - does make it totally unpredictable, but I am (of course!) going for our boy....
