Yuzuru Hanyu: 2021-22

[DizzyFrenchie]

I suppose that the announcement of the live viewing in 39 Japanese cinema theatres of the May 29th show met a great success, because the June 5th show will be live broadcast in 90 Japanese cinema theatres. There will be a lottery too, the winners being allowed to buy tickets. It seems that even people who got a ticket for a seat at a rink for a show, are willing to watch the show of another day, from a cinema.

The May 29th and June 5th shows will also be broadcast on Japanese TV, and it seems that it will be accessible from many countries abroad, for a pay of course. Here are the two providers available :

Marika Yuzu has also made a comparative between these two offers:

Yuzu's interview before first FoI show:

羽生結弦　北京五輪後初の演技　「全力でできる」練習公開も(2022年5月26日)

フィギュアスケートの羽生結弦選手（27）がカメラの前で久しぶりに演技を披露。ファンに向けて思いを語りました。　羽生結弦選手：「（Q.北京五輪以来となる演技の舞台だが？）右足首のけがが自分が思っているより大きくて、うまく練習できない日々もあったんですけど、だいぶ落ち着いてきましたし、まだ完治ではないですけど、しっか...

Watch this!

The GOAT is back and again dominates all the news headlines. Can't wait for the live broadcast of his new EX.

 

[ankifeather]

More Yuzu clear files & sale campaign from Nishikawa & Lotte - they are all so beautiful

 

[Magill]

Here comes more of a good thing



So after revealing the "Masquerade" and having been blinded by the "Blinding Lights" Yuzuru now shows us his "Real Face" I cannot wait to see the whole thing. He is probably the only skater I really wait to see in shows as his show programs are so unique and spectacular.
The paper cup moment is already on its way to become iconic

 

[DizzyFrenchie]

I believe the water moment is already iconic!
Day 2 4T+3A sequence was more like his "usual" sequence, here they are side by side:

Hanyu's new EX "Real Face". Wow the intensity, speed and power!


Also more TV news from 2nd day and mini interview at end

 

[Magill]

One more version, this time on YT...

And lyrics translation I have found and am linking for those interested but - like me - not speaking Japanese... (scroll down past the Japanese transliteration until you come to the English version). If anyone here speaks Japanese please let us know if this translation is any good ...

Hanyu's new EX "Real Face". Wow the intensity, speed and power!

Yes, it's a great performance: so much emotions, so expressively!
He's like a flash of lightning. It's really breathtaking!

And day 3.


It seems a bit reckless. But I like his striving for perfection.
I hope his ankle is OK.

ETA: " I always want to live on the edge " - really suits him.

I love this 4T+3A+2T+1Lo+1Lo+1Lo sequence!

Also, there was a minor earthquake, I didn't understand when, and he lost his bracelet when throwing the paper cup, the public didn't see it but the staff found it under a chair when the public stood up.

 

[DizzyFrenchie]

Here's a synthesis of the opening, focusing on Yuzuru:

 

[DizzyFrenchie]

Tomorrow (8:40 in France, I don't remember time conversions) there will be a broadcast rehearsal before FaOI's Nagoya stop. I don't know if there will be any live streaming, I hope we will get at least some little bits later.

Remember when all those annoying messages popped up across the screen in the live broadcast on Makuhari Day 3? The earthquake was just before that.
