During the broadcast, Tanaka, a classmate of Hanyu’s, revealed a glimpse of Hanyu’s true personality, saying, “He suddenly gets really hyper.” Professional figure skater Nobunari Oda, who served as the interviewer, asked, “What do you think about each other’s personalities?” Tanaka immediately replied, “He suddenly gets really hyper.” When Oda followed up with, “Tell us more,” Tanaka smiled wryly and said, “There’s just too much going on… Honestly, I can’t keep up with his energy.” In response to this, Hanyu said of Tanaka, “His capacity to take things in is incredible. Even if I go off on some kind of machine-gun talk, he nods at everything. He accepts everything. He’s kind of like a supportive partner,” and he expressed his gratitude to Tanaka, who accepts him with such a big heart. Hanyu and Tanaka are the same age. Reflecting on their shared history, Tanaka said, “We’ve been competing together since the novice level, and in juniors, he became a top skater I just couldn’t catch up to. But now, being able to compete on the same stage at the NHK Trophy like this makes me really happy.” He added, “It made me realize I need to hold on to an even stronger desire to keep pushing forward.” In turn, Hanyu responded with a bright smile: “I’m simply happy. I moved up to seniors pretty quickly and have been competing there since, so I had this feeling of ‘Finally, he’s here.’ And he made it to the podium right away, so I’m really glad to see that.”
