For the fans abroad

MOI 2019 Finale Newly released by Fuji TV.

NHK BS will broadcast a program titled "羽生結弦 １０年間の軌跡～ＮＨＫ杯フィギュア～ (Yuzuru Hanyu Trajectory of 10 Years ～NHK Trophy～)" at 20:00 on March 31, and it's a 110 minute program! I'm really happy that NHK has decided to air this in the middle of such a dark time. I also want NHK to include a longer version of famous clip of Yuzu surrounded by numerous Poohs in the hotel? room. I hope everyone here including me will be fine till next Tuesday. Nowadays the world changes drastically only after one week and it is too scary.

His comment is much longer. I have no time to translate it now, but here is what he says. 中止になってしまったことは残念ではありますが、選手のみならず、観に来られる皆さまや大会運営のスタッフの方々への感染拡大のリスクが、少しでも減ったことに安堵する気持ちもあります。このような状況の中で、選手に競技の場を設けようとギリギリまで尽力してくださった ISU に感謝の意を申し上げます。 今回の中止を受けて、改めて新型コロナウィルスについて、また、ウィルス感染について考える機会ができたと思っています。このような対応がなされたからこそ、より一層、注意を払って生活していかなくてはと思いました。 そして、今シーズンの最後まで応援してくださった方々、本当にありがとうございました。 来シーズンに向け、今の限界の先へと行けるよう、練習していきます。 https://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20200312-00000188-spnannex-spo

Yuzu's comment! Very rough translation: I feel sorry that it was canceled, but at the same time I'm relieved that the risk of spread has been reduced. I will train for the next season, aiming to go beyond my current limits.

https://this.kiji.is/596520671908349025?c=39550187727945729 Kyodo Press has reported Yuzu's program change. They asked someone close to Yuzu side, and the article says he will use Ballade No.1 and SEIMEI from 4CC. So now I think it's official. The impression from this article is that Yuzu will use Chopin and SEIMEI both at 4CC and Worlds.

Fuji TV promo for Four Continents. Yuzu says to the screen "Congrats, Nathan!" How kind and sweet he is!

According to the notification on the ticket site, only the ticket for the front row seat, the most expensive one, has a name of a ticket holder printed. Your identification will be checked on entering. The rest of the tickets of other categories are not mentioned in the notification. I assume a name will not be printed, or you won't be checked even if a name is printed. FaOI is from the end of May to June every year, and so is this year. The schedule has already been announced here: https://www.fantasy-on-ice.com/#schedule. No skaters have been confirmed for the show yet, though.

Yes, he will be in Hachinohe (April 3,4,5) and Yokohama (April 10,11,12). All of us here were in the state of mini panic today after knowing the news It's totally unexpected and I honestly don't know what to think. Last time he was at SOI was six years ago in 2014, right after winning the Gold medal at Sochi, and that was when I saw him skate live in the arena for the first time. Since then he has never skated at SOI. Why now? A part of me thinks that he might r..... after the Worlds, but I really don't know. Another problem is that this SOI show is usually rather boring in spite of super expensive tickets. At least the show I saw in 2014 was not that interesting except Yuzu. It's a show for the IMG skaters, so Yuzu didn't appear in the opening, and the finale was very short and not exciting at all. However, MOI after the Nationals was known to be very boring in the past three years, but this time it was a really nice show with many contents of Yuzu (beautiful opening with Yuzu's hydro, a group number of Japanese skaters including Yuzu with a bonus of singing Yuzu, great SEIMEI, finale and Yuzu throwing stuffed animals to the audience, etc) Will SOI change in the same as MOI? Very unlikely, but still I have applied for Hachinohe and Yokohama, one day each A venue of Hachinohe is so small (only capacity of 3500 people) that I don't expect to be able to get a ticket. Just if I'm super lucky....

In Japan, 2019 will almost end and 2020 will begin. I want to thank all of Yuzu fans here who always support and cheer for Yuzu. This year I went to Torino to see Yuzu as my first time overseas competition. I met many great planet Yuzu fans and enjoyed every minute although the result of the GPF was not what I hoped for. Especially, I would like to thank @Yuzu_legend, @Yuzurella and @TeaFrida Thank you for talking with me, sharing chocolates and making me wave your Japan's flag together, and also sorry for my poor English! I hope I will meet you again at some competitions or ice shows! I also went to Japan Nats and saw the short programs and the Gala. Maybe you can't see on the screen, but I could clearly see Yuzu was extremely tired during skating Otonal. He was very slow, seemed weak, strikingly different from Otonal at GPF. It was like his ghost skated Otonal. And as @sweetwater wrote, the atmosphere of the competition was weird. It seemed there were not so many Yuzu fans as in the other completions. I felt uncomfortable. I was surprised at the constant screams of "Dai-chan Ganba!!!" during the six minute warm up. Then, the gala, MOI was completely different. Yuzu shone from the beginning to the end. I enjoyed so much. I had been worried about him because he had looked shocked and depressed at the result of the free program the previous day. I had wanted to cheer him up at the Gala, but the truth is that he cheered up all of his fans attending the show, giving us the big Christmas present, SEIMEI. I was so lucky to see that performance, his beautiful 3A and the Otonal step! I can't explain well in English. He was just serene, confident, and commanding. After seeing it, I can believe he will be fine. Well, after the defeat at J-Nats, I was so shocked that I failed to get the ticket for the four continents. Ahh, too bad. I plan to go to the worlds but Korea is very close to Japan, and it would have been a good chance... I hope those who could get the tickets successfully will have a great time! A Happy New Year to every one! I wish Yuzu will be healthy and happy in 2020!!!

Last night I watched his interview, felt very happy, and went to bed... I understand his Japanese perfectly while my English is far from perfect. I wait for someone good at both languages translate this nice interview, but you understand almost everything . About 3Lz, he said "It was (highly) evaluated." Obviously he's happy about it. His tone during the interview is serious but very positive. He might have been a bit angry with himself and his scores, but still he was very calm and his mind is analytical. His words on the board is "to become the strongest myself ever" and this is for Montreal Worlds.

Yuzu's interview right after Origin at ACI was aired a few minutes ago. He was unbelievably beautiful here... I was waiting for this TV program the whole week and I'm so satisfied now

You may not believe it, but actually it is. One very very small sticker (not 2 stickers but 1!) is the only reason for the price difference. We are joking "Is a secret code for Yuzu's secret movie written with invisible ink somewhere on this sticker??" Personally, I recommend you the normal edition without a sticker. I've got the special one with a sticker, but I don't know what to do with it!

After winning gold medal in Sochi, Yuzu sent Yamada Mami-sensei gloves as a gift from Sochi. Mami-sensei gave those gloves to Kazuki Hasegawa, then a middle school student, who asked a question about pressure before the competition to Yuzu in the yesterday's TV program. Kazuki said four years ago "I don't wear them. I treasure them. When I can jump a quad, maybe I'm going to start to wear them."

It appears to be on the first floor of Marubiru (Marunouchi Building), which is located in front of Tokyo Station.

Yes! And it will also come with original photo book(24p.).

Thank You! Now I'm relieved!

The video says the Blu-ray/DVD will include 15 performances from 2015 to 2019 season. I'm very anxious if it will have Helsinki H&L. Joe Hisaishi is famous for being very strict about his music's rights.

Mika Ninagawa who photographed famous blue roses Yuzu of the cover of anan AERA will be a guest of a talk show hosted by Sawako Agawa this Saturday. Mika will talk a secret episode of the photo session. (for some minutes, I think. A talk show is only 30 minute program.) You can see the trailer with the link above where Mika says "I was very nervous (at the anan AERA photo session). I could hear voices from his fans. I thought like I'll try hard to take the photos everybody wants to see!"

Did he? I don't remember anything In the pamphlet of FaOI Makuhari, he did say he could only perform 20% for both Otonal and Origin. I was surprised to read this. Origin, yes I understand, but also Otonal??

Some people say that those images are from last year, and others say that Origin is just background music. I realy don't know what is true...

Yuzu will do ACI!! I am relieved.

This article doesn't say he will do ACI this year. It only says he competes at ACI every year. Obviously the writer doesn't know anything about this year. We have to wait for JSF to announce the participation of all the Japanese skaters in B comps.

https://ameblo.jp/kose-sports/entry-12443652658.html A new entry of Yuzu blog. Yuzu's voice is so nice I've been waiting for this a whole day

I don' know when exactly, but a sure thing is it's after Rostele because Yuzu was saying "I'm again injured."
