Yuzuru Hanyu ICE STORY 2nd 'RE_PRAY' TOUR - Saitama
holina replied to Yuzu_legend's topic in 2023 Ice Shows
I rewatched RE_PRAY many times (and just finished another time before the VOD is gone!), and the more times I watched it, the more I like all his new programs! They are al so cool and dramatic. Megalovania is an all-spin program, that is so innovative! Yuzu’s skating is so good, even way better than when he was in his competitive career and breaking records left and right, how is this even possible?! His movements are so sharp and yet so smooth. Attention to every single small music note. The amount of work and practice he must have put in, it’s unbelievable.- 360 replies

Yuzuru Hanyu ICE STORY 2nd 'RE_PRAY' TOUR - Saitama
holina replied to Yuzu_legend's topic in 2023 Ice Shows
Choice I need to make: Blue hoodie or Black hoodie? The blue is so cute and nice pop of colour. The black is so cool and I like the logo being slightly lower in the back compared to the blue hoodie, and the black font on black background looks great at the back too. But I already have a black Prologue hoodie 😂. I am trying to convince myself that this is a baggier fit and so it’s different 😂 I’m also afraid of getting the wrong size… I think M should fit me (5’6” and 125 lbs). Wonder what’s the size on the mannequin photos…The black one on Yuzu in the photo looks baggy but maybe he had the L one on? But when he had the blue one on it didn’t look so baggy so maybe he had the M size blue one on?- 360 replies

Celebrating the 5th Anniversary of Planet Hanyu!
holina replied to Yuzu_legend's topic in Yuzuru Hanyu
Happy Burthday Planet Hanyu! I visit here every day to read about Yuzuru. Thank you for maintaining this site! When did you become a fan of Yuzu? 2018 Olympics Chopin. I watched it and I was mesmerized. I was a casual FS watcher before that (so I knew about Patrick Chan, Plushenko, Yuma Kim, Mao Asada, etc. and there was a time when I got mesmerized with Jeff Bottle’s skating as well. But Yuzu is on a different level! I have followed Yuzu’s every competition ever since) When and why did you sign up for Planet Hanyu? Just after 2018 Olympics when I wanted to know more about Yuzu and I watched all his YouTube’s and read all his interviews and I found Planet Hanyu in the process. Did you make any irl friends through Planet Hanyu? Yes! I met other Yuzu fans during Skate Canada 2019 and a few of us came from the same place. So we have gone out together a few times afterwards! (We went to Canadian Nationals together and also watched 4CC 2020 together in a “sleep-over party”! It was fun! Have you participated in any group projects on Planet Hanyu? Yes, there was a group project to make a banner for Yuzu, with all the countries of Yuzu fans written in a red circle looking like the Japanese flag and with Yuzu’s Otonal pose. Did you attend any meetups with other satellites at competitions? Yes! I have gone to ACI 2018, ACI 2019 and Skate Canada 2019. I was too shy to meet anyone at ACI, but at Skate Canada a bunch of us met up and had dinners together! What do you like the most about this forum? That everyone is friendly and I like sharing our love for Yuzu. Would you like to participate in the giveaway? I would love to, as it is difficult to get Yuzu merch that are only available in Japan! Thanks a lot! -
Wow how many of us watched the Nadal- Alcaraz match? 😂 🙋🏻♀️ I am a huge Rafa fan! I’ll be watching the final today as well!! Vamos!!
-
I watched Ten chi for the nth time and I just noticed that his 3Lo landing matches a “dan” sound in the music, which was an improvement from last season’s version (the “dan” sound was in the music last year as well but the landing timing didn’t match). Also this year in the hydroblade, his head movement also matches the music. So many little details that he has added this year!! 🤯
-
Why is he so cute 🥺
-
O.M.G. It’s getting real now! I am really excited but I am not ready! New music, new SP, new costume(s), new layout….new jump?!
-
Delete (wrong group!)
-
Ok, imagine him showing up in Beijing and do another troll practice with single jumps followed by 4A at the end, and then bow and leave before his music starts joking aside, I do wish to see him earlier, at JNats though!
-
This is not new but it came up on my YouTube suggestions and I think it’s really nice! Makes me really want to buy it (I was holding back!). Maybe I will buy a bunch of Yuzu books together when this season’s new ones are released next year…cheaper shipping this way…
-
Not gonna lie, I was a little disappointed not to see Yuzu today…and I agree with the opinion that while Naomi is a great athlete and I like her and what she represents (against racism etc.), it feels a bit odd to give the honor to someone who hasn’t even participated in the Olympic Games in the past. I hope that if Yuzu goes to Beijing 2022, he will be Japan’s flag bearer! He deserves such an honor!
-
Definitely JNats with the excitement of revealing 2 new programs and costumes! Plus all of us getting trolled by Trollzuru again! Is it Robbie Williams or Queen’s version of LMEY? Music already was playing at FS practice but nobody knew what music it is! At SP competition during costume reveal the camera was so far away so all we saw was a tiny black dot on the screen
-
Surely he won’t be able to fit in the purple pants of sin now though? edit: oh just saw there is another SOI thread, I will go there!
-
I actually found myself rocking from side to side today sitting at my computer (working from home). It was very relaxing! And it made me feel less stiff from sitting all day!
-
I agree. He can do LMEY as an Ex, the fully loaded version with 4S and 4T-3T and 3A - it would be such a flex About Yuzu’s training base. Can’t he arrange something with TCC so that he can skate there alone at night time? I’m pretty sure that’s what he’s doing at Ice Rink Sendai now when there’s nobody else at night. TCC just needs to let him lock up the place after. This way he can get both the physio and the ideal training setting in terms of space for his 4A (flying across the ice) and music rotation? I am sure TCC would want to have Yuzu back so maybe they can make special arrangements for him.
-
Um....better bring a stash of aspirin to comps next season (if we get to go) 😅 This makes me think of how Yuzu’s life story is so “destiny-like”. For example he got the 1000th Winter Olympics gold medal. Perhaps he’s destined to land a perfect 4A and win a history making 3rd Olympic gold skating to another Japanese themed FS. How perfect would that be? I wouldn’t write him off for Beijing yet, because anything can happen. The pressure on Nathan to win in Beijing would be soooo much bigger than in 2018 because basically it would be his last shot at Olympic gold (if indeed he is going to focus on his study after), and he would be going in as a heavy favorite with even more pressure from the US media. While Yuzu would be so chill with 2 OGM in his back pocket already.
-
About 4S vs 4Lo, he did get a higher GOE for the 4S at JNats compared to the 4Lo (I was so mad coz his 4Lo there was perfect). So I am not sure if it’s worth the risk to put 4Lo in the short, given the last 2 times he faced Nathan, it was the fact that Yuzu messed up the SP which basically closed the door on Yuzu’s chances....
-
No hobbies listed? Is Jun going to Worlds? Or maybe Ekatarina too? (Thinking if Brian and Ghislain will go)
-
I submitted my vacation request for Skate Canada 2021 and got approved! Really hope things will be better by then and we get to go! (only if the situation is good by then - unlike Worlds)
-
I also like Roman’s skating the most out of the Canadian men, but I guess it’s really a lot of pressure on the one Canadian man who is going to Worlds since the Olympic spots are basically on this one person’s shoulders. I remember when Roman won the Canadian Nationals last year, Skate Canada kind of waited to see how the guys perform at 4CC first before making the decision on the Worlds spot, and Roman didn’t do well at 4CC. So perhaps that was considered too...It’s true that Keegan has an edge on Roman regarding BV and the men’s field is not particularly strong/consistent at the moment (other than Yuzu and Nathan who are one-two). So Keegan may have a good shot at top 10 (or 12? Whatever it is). (note I put Yuzu-Nathan as one-two in that order 😃)

Shoma’s English lesson 2:
-
Oh yay! I watched it last night twice before I went to bed - first time to look at him being cute commentating the program, second time to watch the actual skating 🥰
-
Yes I was wondering where Yuzu can modify his FS layout to increase BV too, since Nathan has 5 quads in the free (and Yuzu knows that he cannot have 4 quads and rely on judges giving him higher GOEs). Yuzu also did say in his JNat interviews that he wants to train “more difficult jumps”. So I am thinking that he WILL add 4Lz into his free (he was kind of successful at GPF Torino already even with Origin which is much more exhausting to perform, at least all 5 quads were landed). Also I wonder if he will have 4T-eu-3F instead of -3S....and if he will go for 3A-3A again (I know, it’s kinda crazy 😜). But his 4T-eu-3S looked really strong at JNats too. One concern, as others have said, is that he does not have physio etc. Actually can he show his innocent smiley face and ask Kikuchi-san to take care of him again while in Sendai?
