   Yuzu will be participating in "24H TV" for the 4th year in a row. The broadcast will start on August 26 6PM Japanese Time on NTV. Yuzuru will be coaching a kid with asthma, who started skating because he looked up to Yuzu. An ice show will also be held to cheer for kids who also battle with asthma and other illnesses, to say "Let's work hard together!" to them.
   
   From his training base of Toronto, Canada, Hanyu-senshu talked on phone with 12 yo 池葉宙 who has been skating since 9, despite fighting with asthma since young. When he nervously told Hanyu that he likes his jumps, Hanyu replied "Next time when I return to Japan, let's practice together!" In this way, the decision to hold Hanyu-senshu's special skating classroom and ice show came to be.
   
   The theme this time, "Confession~lets say it with courage!" "My way of being brave is probably to give my all with what I have," said Hanyu. "Of course there are times of fear and insecurity, when you must be brave. Those are probably sentiments you feel when you want to throw in your full effort, and give something your all. When I feel that, because courage is already in place, so just keep going and working hard and the sense of courage would come out, I think."

   Hyoen Basara
   A special show featuring ice skating and kabuki! The performance is more than just a collaboration. Using a skating rink as a stage, it will be a show that’s never been seen before. Incorporating beautiful, graceful, and expressive movements that can only be realized on ice, the production expresses Japanese beauty in a marvelous way. Projection mapping will be used for the stage effects, and exciting flying scenes known as ‘chūnori’’ in kabuki will also be seen during the show!!
   ‘Basara’, the story that will be performed, is a new work written especially for this occasion. Famous heroes and villains from various kabuki plays will appear and, jumping across the borders of story and time, a battle against good and bad will break out on ice.
   During the performance, kabuki actors will skate on ice, along with world class ice skaters!
