Yuzuru Hanyu

[Magill]

It says something about the depth of Yuzu's popularity and fame in Japan that the outfits he wears in an ad promptly go on display in major stores

His popularity abroad is no piece of cake either, if you think of his skates successfully touring China all without him

The Gucci outfit from GS photoshoot is inspiring fanart

I believe that this skates tour was perceived as a test by Cfanyus, who wanted to tell organisers (and potential sponsors) thtat there was a public in their town to hold a show with Yuzuru Hanyu. Yet, each of the displays had such long queues!

We are reminded that the registrations for the lottery to be able to order GIFT Blu-Ray (with a handmade glass bottle filled with GIFT rink melted ice) and DVD limited edition boxes, will end tomorrow 26th:

Pre-orders for GIFT (and Prologue) regular DVDs and Blu-Rays will remain open, and I think that they will print as many ones as we will order until the official releases in July and August.

By the was, I read that the new issue of GQ with Yuzuru Hanyu on the cover of the special edition, was already sold out, at least on Amazon (before the official release date) which brings me to think that like Elle Japon did with their Yuzuru Hanyu x Gucci issue, GQ may decide to reprint this issue. For Elle Japon, it was the first time in their history, for GQ I don't know if it would be.

Oh, wow, I don/t even know how Liberta had done it but it is so beautiful and so gentle, so much in the right spirit!

It seems that the special edition of GQ with Yuzuru Hanyu on the cover, is sold out pretty much everywhere:

I'm really anticipating a reprint before the official release date.

His AERA sold out twice before the official released date, looks like GQ will do similar...

And another anniversary. of Yuzu's first parade in Sendai following the Sochi OGM.

Should be remembered that this one was extraspecial in itself as not only was he the first Japanese, or even Asian, man to win the figure skating OGM, but his was the only gold Japan received in 2014 in any discipline. No wonder they celebrated!

I thought that it was Elle Japon that had sold out twice before the official release? Not that his AERA photo shoots wern't a success, with several AERA and another magazine and a photo book being released and extra successful on just one photo shoot...
Anyway, the advertising campaign was planned in advance, and this makes that this delightful video of Yuzuru Hanyu was posted just in a moment when the magazine wasn't available:

Sarah Sohma has already translated his message:

The comparison of this message with the brief glimpse we got of Yuzuru Hanyu with this blouson during the photo shoot, gives an idea of the variety of his expressions:

As Shizuka Arakawa (2006 Olympic Gold and from Sendai too) had had an Olympic Parade, Yuzuru Hanyu had to have one too, I wonder what were his feelings? But I have no doubt that he was overall very happy.

 

[TallyT]

You're right, it was ELLE It gets confusing, he is achieving so much at the minute.

 

[TallyT]

The new video and the screenshots... he looks twenty at most, if not younger. And this is sweet...

Liberta has herself an ability to draw in very different styles, which she uses here quite to the point. She has posted a larger version of the right drawing:

But the SEKKISEI photo shoot isn't forgotten, the first one is such a cute Pooh animation with the different outfits:
