I feel so bad for posting here so many times in a row (how do you merge posts?) but C-chan's new video- 

Dear fellow satellites 

Today I received some pictures from a good friend in Japan who visited an Irene shop in Kanagawa and I want to share them with you!! 

The board explains about the Great East Japan Earthquake and how the Irene charity goods are being sold to raise funds for reconstruction efforts. Yuzu's writing says: "Everyone, please cooperate! Let's move forwards together!" 

They also have these  on display, what a treasures!!!

If you are wondering where to find it, this is their address:

Atelier Shop F

3rd Floor,

2-17-27 Mizonokuchi,

Takatsu-ku,

Kawasaki-shi,

Kanagawa 213-0001

They have been extremely  kind and gave us permission to post here the pictures and their address. So if by any chance the persons in charge of the shop see this post, we thank you all for your great efforts and work! From my side, also warm regards and best wishes from Switzerland!!  

P.S. Please also check the hashtag #CongratsYuzu

Amazon does have pre-order. They have it for the Ice Jewel and Dancin on the Edge 3. For this one it says "Currently unavailable". Hopefully it's because I'm too early and not too late 😂😭

I definitely saw the price and pre-order option a few hours ago, I think it's sold out already. 

Japanese fans are also saying it is sold out on Amazon. They may accept orders again but maybe you can use Rakuten Books and Rakuten Global Express too? There are some restrictions and the shipping cost may be higher, but they are still selling it.

I know there is one being released June 19 titled:  YUZU'LL BE BACK II 羽生結弦写真集2019~2020 (Dancin'on The Edge3) (Japanese) Tankobon Hardcover – June 19, 2020.  I pre-ordered it from Amazon.jp - is this another one?

Yes, it's another one from Hochi Shimbun, and it'll be released on 17 June.  So there'll be three photobooks released in June, the Ice Jewels season photobook which came out yesterday, the Hochi photobook and Dancin'on The Edge3 on June 19.

What can you do, if you are forced to stay at home and have no WLAN/internet for nearly a week.

Well, I took the time to see what I've stored on my harddrive since 2016...  

This inspired me to edit this little (!) +22 minutes long clip of Yuzu's senior encore programs and costume swaps!

PS: Sorry for the unusually poor video quality. Originally I recorded it in 1080p, but there was not enough storage on my GDrive, so I had to convert it to 720p, but I hope, it's enjoyable nevertheless.

There are some real beauties in this collection and a VERY special bonus round at the end. I think, you will love it 

And now it's your turn:

1. Which encore performance from Yuzu is your absolute favorite?
2. Which costume swap is your favorite?
3. Which encore programs or costume swaps do you wish Yuzu to do in the future?

This is my favourite encore.

HE IS SO ADORABLE

The glorious quad lutz 

 Find me another 17 yo kid, who is able to pour their WHOLE SOUL into the performance and have entire arena on their feet!

I have a dream that one day, the most Yuzu-like thing I ever do will be this: 

but, realistically, it'll probably be more like this:

Don't understand more than the figure skating terms, but the performances they showed:

Chopin GPF'15

SEIMEI GPF'15

PW SC'19 - the On Ice Perspective version of the practice

Notte Stellata GPF'19

Origin SC'19

 

It's been nice to watch all of them again.

I try my best at a very quick literal translation for the Figupedia documentary (Yuzu parts). Please correct me if there are any mistakes! (It's a double translation as I'm translating from Chinese subtitles)

Outside 4CC building with his 'Clever' mask on, talking about program changes:

Yuzu: The most important thing is that I want to skate in a style that suits me. How do I say. In my heart, it felt/became difficult, after Japanese Nationals. About what figure skating actually is, I've thought about it a lot.  Although figure skating is a sport that I have been doing for 20+ years, I felt there was something wrong somewhere, the things I was chasing after didn't feel quite right. Indeed, when challenging high difficulty contents, it's very interesting. Challenging myself makes me very happy. When I finish/complete the challenges, I feel very happy. However, I feel this is not 'happiness'. Not only to complete the challenges. For example, the feeling when skating, being able to see the content that I want to perform/express, or the fusion of jumps with the music, I actually really like these. The programs that can convey all of these the most are SEIMEI and Chopin. 

The playing with echo part:

Yuzu : It's very interesting, the echos. It's different when done from different parts of the rink. A sound that starts from the edge of the shorter side of the rink takes longer to travel, hence it takes longer to echo. If it's done from the middle of the rink, the echo is much faster because the sound waves reach the walls faster and reflect faster. I was just experimenting with these, it's really fun.

In TCC, with the rink behind him, talking about Chopin:

Yuzu: There are about 17 seconds at the start of the music where I am just standing and not moving. That was something I told the choreographer - that I wanted the 17 seconds of idleness, hoping that I can feel closer to the music, let the feeling that I can express to be closer to the music. I always keep this (feeling close to music) in check.

In the van with a laptop on his lap, talking about SEIMEI music:

Narrator: He chose the music himself, and also arranged the music himself.

Yuzu: Over here (when the long music note was playing), this is very long. Although the second piano note is like 'qiang qiang qiang' ... there is 0.8 seconds between the first 'qiang' and the second piano note. I feel it's not the same. The jumps, the programs, steps, spins, everything. Every movements need to become one with the music and program, then only it's ok I think. Of course, it's ok if I don't jump on the 'qiang', but if I don't go with the 'qiang', the rest of the choreography will need to match the music properly. These are the things I really pay attention to.

4CC interview in front of the blue curtain:

Yuzu: This Hanyu Yuzuru, is very affected by music. It's because of the presence of music that the art, technique and performance/expression of figure skating is born. In my heart, music and figure skating is almost an equal. To me, hmm, that one, how do I say... (fusing music and figure skating together) is my life principle, the reason I figure skate.

Skate Canada Victory Ceremony last part closing in on the camera showing off his medal:

Yuzu: I finally got it!

The last part where he's in a suit holding a red-white paper board:

What he's written: The aim/goal is 5 steps to the front of my limit!
