(Add-on) 2026 Japanese drama - "Reborn" Episode 4: "Before the Sochi Olympics, I was asked to produce an ad with a figure skater. When I was unsure who to pick, this man suggested Yuzuru Hanyu." Episode 6: *Flashback from ep 2*

Certainly not trash. I think it was just a kuyashiii~ skate and not many want to rewatch it maybe, but so many of the men in Sochi fell and made mistakes so I really dislike the narrative that he was lucky to win that. For me, despite the mistakes, we could see that Yuzu was quick to regain composure, he didn't let that affect him and completed his skate the best he could. He's always a fighter in that sense.

Hiya, just popping in to share these books that touch on Yuzu's move to Toronto. You can read more here from Shirota's book, who helped make the arrangements: Also, more about his days with Brian from the "Team Brian" series. Unfortunately I don't have the first book which should touch more on the move. And one more book from a journalist who had covered Yuzu a long time before. In Chapter 5, it seems that Nanami was the one who first brought up the idea of training overseas. Yuzu had gone abroad before to study choreography with Russian coaches in 2011. Whether Nanami was thinking of something temporary like that, or if she meant a permanent move, that I don't know.

A Chinese fan created an entire website detailing Yuzu's career. Something like Wiki but more interactive and with cool graphics. Available in Japanese, English and Chinese too. What an effort! It's so nice to have a database like this. https://yuzuru1207.com/

Hi and welcome! Always nice to see new fans here. Jumps are part of the overall expression, so if they don't fit into the program and story, he won't add them now. Of course, injuries and age are factors too, but he only recently reaffirmed that he wants to work on every aspect including the jumps, because he believes he needs to become an even better professional performer than he was as an amateur. We'll see.
