Excerpts from Book 3 Info: https://www.amazon.co.jp/チーム・ブライアン-新たな旅-ブライアン・オーサー/dp/4065123666/ https://ebookjapan.yahoo.co.jp/books/497167/ "I want to experience that overwhelming emotion again and again, the kind that makes my whole body tremble." After Sochi, Brian Orser, the renowned coach, speaks about Yuzuru Hanyu’s journey up until PyeongChang, including the untold struggles and the path that led to Hanyu’s historic back-to-back victories in men’s singles at the PyeongChang Olympics. This new edition of the book, Team Brian: The 300-Point Legend, has been extensively revised to include these new developments. The author, who knows Hanyu’s journey best, delves into these moments and shares insights on how Evgenia Medvedeva and Jason Brown came to join the team, the new season for Yuzuru Hanyu and the rest of "Team Brian," and the dreams they all shared moving forward.

Starting from the section "The Four Continents Championship to Feel the Venue of the Pyeongchang Olympics," the content is based on an interview with Coach Brian Orser conducted in July 2018 at the "Toronto Cricket, Skating & Curling Club." The interviewer was Mie Noguchi. Although there were major rule changes starting in the 2018-2019 season, the rules and scores in this book are explained based on the regulations at the time.

There are many parties involved, such as co-sponsors, sponsors, and supporting companies, mainly from the hosting area, but as for the content of the show, most of it is handled by CIC alone, which allows for flexibility and freedom in production. It also keeps outsourcing costs down. Why did CIC adopt this management style?

(Kyoto Prefecture, Kyoto City, CEO: Yoshihiro Hirata, http://www.phiten.com/), which manufactures and sells health, sports, and beauty products, has entered into an advisory contract with Yuzuru Hanyu (ANA). The details of the contract include products such as the RAKUWA Necklace X100, RAKUWA Necklace X50 High-End III, RAKUWA Bracelet X100, and socks sold by Phiten. Going forward, as Hanyu aims for even greater achievements, we will share the importance of conditioning and support his performance. Yuzuru Hanyu, born in 1994, is 20 years old. His gold medal victory at the Winter Olympics caused a sensation not only in Japan but around the world. Hanyu has been wearing the RAKUWA Necklace since he was eight years old, recommended by his father. Since then, he has felt a noticeable difference in his body’s sensations when wearing it, and he has come to rely on it during competitions. Furthermore, he has worn Phiten’s five-toe socks, noting that "the sensation during performances is different" and "the sensation when landing is different." He has long used them in the Olympics as well as various international competitions. Even though this fact has not been publicly highlighted, it has been a great joy for our company. Based on this trust, we reached an agreement to fight together in the 2014 season, and thus the advisory contract was signed.
