Look at this smile! I have been re-watching videos of him during the show, and you can see glimpses of him glowing with happiness just enjoying skating. This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS].

I would say that previous FaOIs have been similar to this one (I got TV Japan so I have been watching full FaOIs from 2014-2019 ) It doesn't seem like there is a lot of time for goofing around really because they are on a schedule, and Yuzu is something like the master of ceremony of FaOI so he has to keep things moving (different to a gala in a competition). From the live broadcast and the comments of those who have attended FaOI, it looks lke Yuzu is having a very good time!

Could you share the link with me as well?

The delayed axel is one of his signatures jumps and he usually adds it on gala and EX programs (e.g. Masquerade and Notte Stellata). The Japanese newspapers only mentioned the one 3A he did at the beginning when they described the Day 1 choreography. The single axel with outside spread eagle exit looks like a sound choreographic choice that perfectly matches the music.

In case someone wants to write to TV Asahi, there is a form available: https://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/ch/contact/ I think that at least those who are accessing TV Asahi through paid services, such as JapanTV, could send a complaint/request. The form is in Japanese, but the machine translation is quite straight forward (here).

I'm glad it was helpful! I had a huge learning curve to get used to user interface. We can now (in)patiently wait for FaOI!!!! I just got super excited when I say (生) ファンタジー・オン・アイス among the list of scheduled programs

Hi! I am adding a link to a picture with instructions, hope this helps make the process of navigating Japan TV easier. The arrows to display the options are very hard to see. 1) Open Japan TV 2) If you don't get the lists of channel at the left side of the screen, click anywhere on the screen and the menu will be displayed. 3) To find CS Asahi Channel 2 easier, select where it says CS. Asahi Chanel 2 is a blueish/cyan color. 4) Click on the icon, then look for a small white arrow to open the guide of shows and select which one you want to watch. BTW, there are past FaOIs that were re-broadcast during golden week, as well as Continues with Wings and Music with Wings (all in CS Asahi Ch 2). See picture with instructions

Hi! Depending on where you are, you might be able to listen to 2 playlists list that a Japanese fan uploaded on YouTube. She extracted the music from the performances, so you can hear the cheers and sound of the blade on the ice: https://youtu.be/ukTm51e-q4E https://youtu.be/JK5Fx-jkeJs
