https://x.com/marika_yuzu/status/1714223154380558637?s=20 Clarification that ANA contract ended in Sept Yuzu arrived at his destination I guess. ANA say on their athletes page: Due to the expiration of the contract period at the end of September 2023, the contract with Yuzuru Hanyu has ended. (Due to an agreement with Hanyu's office, some content will be posted until the end of December 2023, and some goods will continue to be sold.) I would like to express my gratitude for the past 10 years and wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

Who got the sword from the floral arrangement sent by Yuzu to the musical concert for Estpolis11?? Marika tells all in her (non embedded) tweet!!

https://x.com/aya_nyachida/status/1713085787624149500?s=20 Have people seen the flowers Yuzu sent to a musical event linked with game Estpolis11? If not, here is the flower arrangement matching the poster for the game which is also pictured - and a sword placed in the same position...I might research the music in case we hear it again soon!! (Edit: just saw @fuzz_ball_21 posted Marika's tweet! This tweet has the poster of the game too that the flowers match) The OP says: "What's amazing about this fluster is that it has a sword (dual blade) attached in the same position as the game logo. The color of the flowers also matches the logo. I can feel Yuzuru Hanyu's love for Estopolis Biography 2. Thank you for loving this game "

Yahoo article about Re-Pray being broadcast on Asahi TV!! (I copy/pasted as some cannot access Yahoo Japan anymore) Yuzuru Hanyu’s third solo ice show “Yuzuru Hanyu ICE STORY 2nd “RE_PRAY” TOUR” opening stage will be broadcast on TV Asahi Channel news 2023/10/13 It has been announced that Yuzuru Hanyu's third solo ice show, "Yuzuru Hanyu ICE STORY 2nd 'RE_PRAY' TOUR", will be broadcast exclusively on CS TV Asahi Channel. On November 4th, the first day of the Saitama performance will be broadcast live on TV Asahi Channel 1 (5:00 p.m.), and on December 7th, the second day of the Saitama performance will be broadcast as a recorded broadcast on TV Asahi Channel 2 (5:00 p.m.). Hanyu, who turned into a professional athlete in July 2022 and has continued to push figure skating to the next level and show us the unknown world, has been performing at the "Prologue" in Hachinohe in December 2022 and the "Prologue" at Tokyo Dome in February 2023. Yuzuru Hanyu ICE STORY 2023 “GIFT”” and a successful solo ice show. The theme of “Yuzuru Hanyu ICE STORY 2nd “RE_PRAY” TOUR,” which Hanyu will present as a performer and executive producer, is the questions that repeat in life, the thoughts, wishes, and “prayers” that arise from the roots of humanity. It becomes. Hanyu revealed, ``'RE_PRAY' also incorporates ethics and values from the world of games, which are a big element in my experience,'' adding, ``You only have one life, a game that can be repeated, a game that is contradictory. I believe there are many important things that can only be found in each of the two.I will entrust the important things in both to words and skating,'' he says enthusiastically. ``If you think about it, the past may be sublimated, or if you think about it too much, you may even have more troubles.'' Through the space, skating, and production that will never be the same, I hope that viewers can feel the colors of the world that can only be created within each and every person.Right, wrong, sadness, loneliness, and prayer. I will put my heart and soul into it and weave it with words and skating,'' he wrote in a straightforward message. The person in charge of the production is MIKIKO, a choreographer who has worked with numerous artists such as Perfume and BABYMETAL, and is also known for the ``Koi Dance,'' the choreography for ``Koi,'' the ending theme of ``Running is Shameful but Useful'' (TBS). Mr. MIKIKO, who was also in charge of directing the last ``GIFT,'' said, ``While watching the actual performance of ``GIFT,'' I felt the joy that this genre of expression that I had never seen before was born here in Japan, and my desire to draw more. ``My heart was full,'' he said, expressing his passion, ``To reach the scenery I've never seen before, I just keep moving forward while praying, aiming for a faint light in the distance.From among so many options. The path you choose will become your own story. This work will only be completed when the customer's life overlaps with the words that Hanyu creates and the expressions that only he can draw. “Yuzuru Hanyu ``Being able to touch the expression of ``is surely a reward for those of us who are working hard to live in this era.I am grateful for this opportunity again, and will continue to cherish and cherish this work.'' .

https://x.com/Ema022002/status/1712497763093487795?s=20 Sorry guys, kittyYuzu time (cover your ears, maybe!)

YuzuTune shorts too ...

https://x.com/tukislisli/status/1278279854094340096?s=20 Never saw this one when it was posted in 2020 - Tenchi and Rondo hadn't happened yet!

https://x.com/ren_pencil/status/1712067345282404459?s=20

https://x.com/kizuno_k/status/1710921054535946587?s=20 Sorry if already posted....I didn't see it. I rather like this Yuzu!

Thanks I'll try that for sure when I post again

https://x.com/_weilan8133/status/1705650728315076789?s=20 For some reason tweets aren't embedding for me at the moment - any idea why anyone? (I blame Musk for everything lol!) Anyway I thought this was an interesting thread about the changes we see in Yuzuru's skating/presentation/our experience of watching since he turned professional (there is a focus on IF)

Google lens gives such an unfortunate translation to Yuzuru's last comment - I moved the camera around a bit but it kept saying the same thing!! (I see above a post with the proper translation thank goodness...) I noticed half way through the video that the questions were written in the top left hand corner! Did Yuzu seem a bit nervous in this interview to anyone, or is it just me?

The only answers I caught from Capt Hanyu on live with my google lens were "competitive, selfish and greedy" and "scalp massage"....translations coming soon I hope, though we don't hear the questions!!! EDIT: oh great I didn't realise I could just rewatch slowly and use GL!! I'll be some time...

|EDIT - dont think its anything to do with Yuzuru

Yes of COURSE I have pre-ordered this immediately!! 2 big reasons - it's called GOAT (he deserves that title so much and at last we see it in BIG writing, on a BIG publication! Amazon japan's no 1 best seller in Japanese books already!) and secondly I understand it also has English translations - I hope ifans really support this publication because of that, we can show publishers that there is a demand....I just wish we could do something about shipping costs as I realise it is quite prohibitive for those of us on limited budgets! There is a 3rd reason too, the photographer is praised for his wonderful sports photography and photos of Yuzuru....a nice Yuzu-birthday present to give to ourselves lol! (I presume he gets some royalties too?)

@Perelandra I came here looking for all the Gucci tweets!! You are slipping!! I suppose I will have to go looking for them to post then.... Our branded boy...makes me a bit sad tbh I am just nostalgic for simpler times that's all don't worry! I'll get used to him wearing these brands one day.... (I do like the suit though, he looks very dashing!)

I read he meant to use it as a play on words: Re-Play (replay) for the gaming, and Re - Pray because he talks about weaving in other themes including prayers.

Right, I have booked my hotel in Saitama Checked flights in Nov...£1000 plus at the moment! . Actually I prefer the Yokohama show as Yuzu will have had 2 goes at the show by then and really had chance to perfect it, and also non Japanese speakers will undoubtedly have had translations of the story, which will make watching it live even more enjoyable I imagine! Last time, I think tickets were only via lottery for Yokohama. I always love this stage of planning for a trip though, even if the trip doesn't come off! (As a Yuzu fan I have had a number of those experiences lol - off the top of my head 2018 GPF Vancouver, Montreal WC 2020, CoR 2021.....) Good luck to everyone who tries for tickets, let's hope for livestreaming too!

Here is the Worlds 2019 freeskate - BBC commentary link - I will look for the other too - its Worlds 2017 free skate Eurosport Italy you want! And here's the Italian commentary to Yuzu's 2017 world record freeskate at Helsinki Worlds

Arata-san showing amazement at Yuzu's ashura chan choreo - he has a YT video up analysing his latest ANA dance btw, if it's not posted on here already!

We could watch it on big screen, sat in a laundry basket in front of the screen like kids do when watching a virtual roller coaster ride lol! I wouldn't fit in my laundry basket though...I'll have to see if they do extra large laundry basket sizes

lol when I saw him carry the camera I also thought immediately of him wearing a helmet with a camera on so we can see his view of the world when he skates, and feel the speed, and imagine the wind in our faces.... A few of us should maybe suggest it in comments once some calm returns, to increase the chance he will see the request.
