  1. I wouldn't see him doing ballet (but why not, dancing on the floor in his own way/language). But when he has more time, he may lurk at more sorts of dances (including ballet) to enrich his own. And that of his future students.
  2. And in the epidemic context, it adds complexities : how to manage to hold everybody safe.
  3. Oh, thank you, I didn't know this interview and I agree with @rockstaryuzu it is great. I like so much how Shizuka Arakawa tells him he has already exceeded all our expectations. Though comparing with music or ballet, while having made maybe the greatest leap in the history of an art, he is not on par with them artistically (but he could become so after his competitive career, this is one more reason to find his staying healthy so important, he is so young if one think of great musical and ballet interprets) but achieving this would be as much on the venue side (suppressing reverberation but not only : the sound should have to be even in the whole venue?) than on his maturing as an artist. But anyway these are not expectations because I don't know what to expect, my imagination fails, I wouldn't have been able to imagine a skating as is already doing (he exceeds my expectations by far) and he keeps progressing, I just rely on him... he is a living dream and so real!
  4. I read he had never had time to learn to ride a bike, but after all, he's a (very convincing) global ambassador for a cosmetic brand while he doesn't need any...
  5. A bit of provocation... Will Shoma Uno get ghost calls, or be treated with less leniency on his jumps?
  6. Has he written it in an ancient style, with some Middle Japanese language or even writing?
  7. Given that at Worlds 2017, in the short program, they pretended that Yuzuru Hanyu had transferred more than 50% of his weight on the other leg, while he had transferred less than 40%, and while rules ask to be lenient in case of a doubt, we can guess there will be abusive calls for some, and "more understanding" for others.
  8. I don't know if this belongs to this thread. I am no collector (and I won't be here on Saturday) but I must say I am quite impressed by the giveaways Planet Hanyu is putting in the Twitter countdown to Saturday streaming party.
  9. I think it is the association between grown up boy living with his mother + working a lot + gaming during free time. Also maybe, his being Japanese (Japanese men have a reputation not to help a lot at home). No more real information (I even think he spoke of washing some laundry himself), rather prejudice. And they much appreciated his P & G commercials, showing him doing some housekeeping, or his Ghana ones, inventing drinking chocolate recipes.
  10. Thank you so much! I am glad to see the greatness of GPF Origin appreciated. And I think we are far from making justice to these so many details Yuzuru Hanyu puts in his interpretation and performance, and variations between performances. It can be annoying to "dissect" a regular program/performance, but I really believe Yuzuru Hanyu's belong to the very rare artworks which stand the closest analysis without losing their freshness. It may even enhance our pleasure at watching it, each viewing being enlightened by a different set of details reminded. After all we have a long drought ahead...
  11. Well, I won't comment about Yuri on Ice. There used to be a mostly gay figure skating forum (I think it stopped some two years ago), mostly centred on Yuzuru Hanyu, with a lot of wit and funny nonsense, and of course opinions. I understood Yuzuru Hanyu was often "a crush" but maybe not as much as Stéphane Lambiel or Javier Fernández; and in any case "not for marriage", if I understood well it was because of the household chores! (There was a sort of consensus upon Nobunari Oda being "the ideal husband".) As they stopped in 2018, there was no opinion about Jun Hwan Cha who was still a teenager in growth (and underage). Edit : the series of threads stopped one year ago, not two.
  12. So funny! Yet even on this basis ans after ISU's official rules, in Men category, Yuzuru Hanyu is still the winner (2660 points; Nathan Chen is at 1600). In all categories (Senior), I believe it is Alena Kostornaia (2740)? @Fay It doesn't bother me at all, quite the opposite. It exposes their cheats. How could a hater deny now? And I must say I wouldn't like to see Yuzuru Hanyu forced to make any case of that mess.
  13. I ticked "others"... And I love to get dizzy watching him, it's "intoxicating".
  14. Am I wrong or are some of these photos recent, and Stéphane Lambiel's hair back? https://twitter.com/hourlystephane
  15. I have a question, I hope not unwelcome. I suppose "real" photobooks pay fees to JSF or a Yuzuru Hanyu's supported charity, but what about "figure skating magazines"?
  16. After all, isn't Tanabata festival about two stars who love each other but can meet only once a year, only when there is no rain? I have heard Southern Japan have diluvian rains at the moment, and they are heading to the Eastern part of the country.
  17. I've read about a 7M views video removed maybe two years ago? I try to remember what was said about Alexandra Trusova's 10M views, wasn't there a link from a hugely popular account?
  18. Well, I have read Youtube counting stops when someone watches the same video a number of times every day (4 or 5 times?) Otherwise, I like very much the idea of getting Olympic Seimei to 10 million views (wouldn't it be a first in figure skating). Do they have an agreement with him or his agents or JSF?
  19. It was about other towels, from a mattress company who sponsor Yuzuru Hanyu, which proposed a limited number of them with a Yuzuru Hanyu clear file for the first buyers.
  20. Great idea! Enio Morricone composed so many diverse musics, the choice is huge. But I suppose it wouldn't be for next season, he must be already training his new programs. Massimiliano Ambesi proposing a Morricone program, and your suggesting Mission, reminded me that Italian missions had built a basilica in Sendai (now an event venue, the diocese built a cathedral nearby). And the movie is about Jesuits, an order co-founded by St Francis Xavier... the circle seems completed! Edit @LadyLou 3min08! No need for a cut! I don't dare imagine the short program he would present us on such a music! Or exhibition program.
  21. I would say it is still Dick Button, who was not only double Olympic champion but also quintuple World champion. Of course, if one refers only to skaters still competing, he is obviously the most decorated.
  22. I muuuch prefer their not being subtle with their Yuzuru love (why should they after all?) than ISU's not being subtle with their Yuzuru hatred. I mean, feelings wise, because PR-wise ISU's lack of subtlety is so detrimental to their awful policy. I lurked on "another forum's" Alina Zagitova's fan thread (in case there would be news of her practice, programs and exams) and they had this Google-translated Forbes Russia article which was chiefly about her, but incidentally dealt with the lack of popularity of figure skating in US... including Nathan Chen. My opinion remains the same : as long as Nathan Chen is not let to reach his potential and get a "wow" factor in his skating, how could he become really popular? Advertising can make his name known, but not his skating appealing. https://translate.google.co.in/translate?hl=en&tab=TT&authuser=0&sl=ru&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.forbes.ru%2Fbiznes%2F404275-vneshne-elf-vnutri-nesgibaemyy-voin-kak-18-letnyaya-alina-zagitova-zarabotala-za-god By the way, Alena Kostornaia's fan thread last page could be called a fanyu page.
  23. Thank you @yuzuponbitch ! Here is the unboxing of an order to CDJapan, I don't find the country : And this is not an ordinary MAD, not even cuts to a music (here Princess Mononoke OST) because there are also added decors part of the time :
  24. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivMQ8YLljsM Cuộc phỏng vấn của Yuzuru Hanyu và Shoma Uno sau các trận đấu Olympic (với một chút Nobunari oda) với phụ đề tiếng Việt.
  25. One cannot imagine it was not intentional.
