*Machine translation from Japanese to English. Inaccuracies exist* (I have added some notes about certain kanji at the end) OPEN MY WINDOW Open your own window. Yuzuru Hanyu Special Photoshoot. P: 56-65 (interview is in p. 65).   What do you see from your window, Hanyu-san? On a summer day, Yuzuru Hanyu sat by the window in a certain studio house, quietly gazing at the sunlit garden, where rays of sunlight streamed through the trees. From a small speaker, Erik Satie's Gymnopédie No. 1, a piece he chose from his iPhone playlist, played softly in the background, complementing the scene. "When I do a photoshoot, I always select music that fits each situation and intention for every cut. Since turning pro, I've had more opportunities to be photographed as a person and an artist rather than as an athlete, and every time, I feel how much time and effort many people pour into creating a single photo. I heard the theme for today's shoot with BRUTUS was 'windows,' so I approached it with the mindset of placing myself into a pre-constructed story."  

The November 1st issue of BRUTUS was released on October 15th, 2024. It's a special feature on "beautiful windows" (No. 1018). It includes a 1-page interview with Yuzuru and a special photoshoot of Yuzuru wearing Gucci. More information about the issue: https://brutus.jp/magazine/issue/1018/ Paper and digital copy of the magazine featuring Yuzuru available on Amazon Japan and Honto NOTE:BRUTUS is a lifestyle magazine with a the majority of the readership being male. It's name comes from the cartoon character "Brutus" from "Popeye the Sailor". The publisher of BRUTUS is Magazine House, which also publishes the men's fashion magazine Popeye ("magazine for city boys"). In 1980, the editor-in-chief of Popeye magazine suggested the creation of another magazine for the "graduates of Popeye". And thus, BRUTUS was created.
