I thought I would post here and then share on the other FaOI chats. I realized that some people are not taking full advantage of Japan TV, so I put together a document with instructions to search past broadcasts (they re saved for 1 month). I also added screenshots of the logos of the TV Channels as I know it's hard to figure it out which one is what: Japan TV- How to watch past broadcasts You can check the schedule of the past and future broadcasts here. Please note that new programs could be added as the TV stations are squeezing FaOI excitement :-) Also, some programs include new content. For example, most of what we have seen are the live broadcast of the 3rd days of the stops, but there will be broadcast of the other days for Makuhari, Nagoya and Shizuoka.

The July 2nd broadcast is on a local TV Channel so almost nobody has access to it to stream it. However, the content of the program will be pretty much the same as what they will show on July 3rd. From Entermeitele website (machine translated): * The programs broadcast on Entermeitele and Dance Channel are the same as those broadcast on Me-Tele [AKA: the channel with the wolfy mascot that Yuzu was playing with]. (However, some video replacements such as documentary videos and program audio will be delivered only in the main audio.) * [the content is] Part of the ice show of "Fantasy on Ice 2022 in NAGOYA" held from June 3rd to June 5th. And, the program content will be a combination of original interview plans. Not all ice shows are broadcast. Starrynotte posts the links for the streaming on the same day for those who want to watch it.

The motion caption device tested by Yuzu for his thesis is that kind of sensors used for movies, but smaller (12.5mm x 13.1mm x 4.3 mm, ~1g). He used them to capture the rotation of his jumps and it seems it worked OK overall. Perhaps some sensors, not all of them could be used for critical aspects that cannot be clearly measured/captured by cameras (even by IceScope type of tech). For example, a cool finding is that the sensors can show the contact point of the foot, which could help, for example, determine which side of the foot (i.e. edge) was used for take off.

For those using Japan TV. CS Entermeitele the second channel of the CS list. The logo also has Wolfy but shown from behind. In case you want to see the logo and the ad of the program: https://www.entermeitele.com/entertainment/faoi2022_nagoya.html According to the link, the program is "Part of the ice show of "Fantasy on Ice 2022 in NAGOYA" held from June 3rd to June 5th. And, the program content will be a combination of original interview plans". So it seems we will get some extra/different content

OMG this whole thread is golden. There should be a separate chat to continue the story and turn it into a novel! Then we can use the proceeding to finance the downfall of ISU 🫢

Marika noticed something quite interesting about the arrangements of Danse Mon Esmeralda so beautifully sung by Seiko Niizuma: https://twitter.com/marika_yuzu/status/1542348905668833281?t=HTE2Lbv5d2YfTccAYCDT8A&s=19 Also, if you are having DME playing in a loop in your head but cannot really listen to versions sung by male singers, you may want to do something like this on Twitter to request Niizuma-san to release a single. Or, you can post a comment under one of Niizuma-san's FaOI posts. https://twitter.com/CostanzaRdO/status/1542592047420506113?t=O9wQEd7Oaq1OnXHupl5o3A&s=19 Niizuma-san's voice and the arrangements, and Yuzu's dance and skating were really a match made in heaven

Quick update! thanks to @Lynn487, we now have a better quality video of the full FaOI Shizuoka show. I will still leave the potato quality version for those who want to download it but don't have a ton of GB in their computers. Enjoy the show!!! and huge thanks to Lynn487!!!!

Hi everyone, Just wanted to give you the heads up that I uploaded full FaOI Shizuoka Day 3 to the videos section. However, the quality of the video is not very good so I also added a link where you can download a very heavy version (.mov, 10 GB) that has waaay better quality. I'm sure some of you are more proficient in video editing and conversion, so feel free to use the heavier video to make a better version available on Planet Hanyu.

Thanks! I ordered from CDJapan last time, the shipping was cheaper for me as well. Good to know Aoi Honoo I is in stock again. The temptation to buy it plus some photo books

At least the one for Aoi Honoo II still works. I got Aoi Honoo II 2 months ago or so (Aoi Honoo I was sold out at the time), and the translation is very well done! Even the layout is nice and it has photos. And the book itself is beautiful. What are you using to buy the books? I would like to get Aoi Honno I as well.

Thank you so much for this! 🙏🤍💜

We can try machine translation to start feeding our curiosity. And I'm not interpreting that quote of context as anything but the uniqueness of an ice show experience vs a competition (just as you say @Anabel). I just love reading and watching Yuzu's interviews. Plus, he usually drops some hints to connect what he is doing in his performances with his own reflections and live experiences.

Anyone has the pamphlet of Shizuoka? This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS].

I really want to watch the musical with new attention. I am seeing NDP as the main thread of a story that Yuzu wanted to tell. After all, Quasimodo is a solitary person (Yuzu said that Raison is about loneliness and isolation), judged by people and he has to be careful when relating with them. I took the short road (Wikipedia summary) until I have time to watch the musical but... Does this sound similar to the lyrics and choreography of certain program? From act 1: "Quasimodo endures his punishment [for kidnapping Esmeralda], but cries out for water ("A boire"), a plea that is ignored by everyone. Suddenly Esmeralda appears and gives him a drink of water from her cup, an act of kindness that deeply touches the poor hunchback"" Then, thinking about the lyrics of Raison, this is also from act 1: "Now begins the wild and coloured Feast of Fools, presided over by Gringoire ("La fête des fous"), the climax of which is the choosing of the King of Fools from among the group of people who can make the ugliest face; the King will be crowned by Esmeralda. Hiding in the shadows is a monstrous figure who is dragged out into the light; it is the bell-ringer of Notre Dame, the hunchbacked and facially deformed Quasimodo. By unanimous decision, Quasimodo is chosen and crowned as the King of Fools, but he knows that for all the power he has this one day nothing can make a woman such as Esmeralda care for him" Of course, this is not 100% literal to the musical, it's more as a metaphor of Yuzu's struggles throughout his career, been praised, crowned, to then face endless questioning about his contribution and legacy with unfair scoring. But his love for figure skating has kept him going, not without being wounded and tainted. Also giving Quasimodo vibes, appearing from the shadows, showing an ugly face: Needless to say that my post FaOI coping mechanism is to start overanalyzing everything. But when I watched Raison and then the encore with NDP, something clicked in my head and now I need to put the pieces together. This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS].

Whether he is competing or not this season is the big question, but wouldn't talk about it had absolutely overshadowed FaOI, what he was trying to experiment and convey, and above all what the other skaters were doing? Yuzu is already the focus in everything, Nobu joked a couple of times about Yuzu's FaOI (I'm paraphrasing). Other FaOIs were not like this one, this was Yuzu's appearance after Beijing, so if he had opened the door to questions about his competitive future, the whole magic we lived through out this beautiful, emotional, and overwhelming FaOI would have been affected. The spell had been broken ✨

He did had a stalker, I think when he was training in Toronto. He also had to keep changing the schedule of his training so that people won't be waiting for him outside his house, on the bus stop, and outside the TCC. He even had to call Brian a couple of times to pick him up because there were too many people waiting for him to go from his home to TCC 😥

He worked so hard and oh he did made us get into a different dimension! He unlocked another skill. This Tsiukiyomi's translation. Also good to check the comments for more details about some meanings. https://twitter.com/tsukiyominoasa/status/1541203887205613568?t=xPl5B4Gv-8XVNYCiwwgBQA&s=09 This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS].

Thank you for sharing. I had my own self indulgent post trying to interpret Raison with the little footage we had at that time 😅. The costume is really symbolic.

I am deeply involved with "Reason". It is as intense to watch as the reports said. Yuzu works so well with the music, the ondulating movements challenging balance while displaying struggle. We can finally learn more about what feelings Yuzu wanted to express and how much effort he put into it. Thanks @LiaRyfor sharing, I was about to post the same link.

I have the same problem. So now I'm just using VPN.
