At that time, Mansai told Hanyu about the awareness that an artist should have, and the relationship between sound and the body. As a Kyogen performer, Mansai continues to challenge himself to express himself beyond genres, and has called himself "Professional Nomura Mansai." This time, he described Hanyu, who stands between athlete and artist as a professional, as "Professional Hanyu Yuzuru," calling him a comrade. He took part in the ice show "notte stellata," and praised him, saying, "I was deeply moved by the way he does things that only he can do in such a wonderful way."

While it will only be available in video form, I highly recommend watching it to get a glimpse of its brilliance. I've heard that some people were a bit disappointed with the camera work in past video streams. I'm also curious to see how the editing turns out this time, so I'm looking forward to it.
