Fleeting Dream

Nekomasumune celebrates a most celebrated son of Sendai

So envious of the people who will be able to say " I was there "

All the wristbands lit up like the myriad of stars in a galaxy

Lighting had sakura scattering in Yuzu's blade marks

6 costume changes, the dresser must have been in tenterhooks the whole time. Imagine the stress of a zipper got stuck or worse the costume ripped of sparkles fell off !!!!

Happy Prologue Day

The lighting effect on the ice, resembles the spot pattern on a whale shark's skin - majestic creatures, children of the Sea God

Yuzu has the heart of a champion and conducts himself thusly. Through Prologue, Yuzu has now achieved many goals and aspirations. Yuzu is amazing for the way he has moved forward and any negative effects have been transmuted like alchemy from the base and turned into something far more precious than even gold. It is a relief to see the show turn out to be a phenomenal success and Yuzu seems to be healthy and full of positivity. Yuzu was thrown into the crucible and emerges more pure and rare and refined and ultimately transcends the sport.

In addition using the different coloured lights the majority colour voted for a programme for Yuzu to skate to

Sounds as if the excitement build up was the same as comp

The Daily Spread Eagle November 4th EPIPHANY DAY - EMPEROR HANYU MAKES HISTORY CROWDS THRONG PALACE HANYU TO SEE THE NEW ICE HALL AND THE EMPEROR CONQUER THE ICE The Palace inhabitants awoke to a morning of clear skies, threaded with ribbons of cloud tinged golden with the sun rise. The Palace gardens were filled with roosting Shuu- Paa birds, who entertained the gardeners with gentle sounds of shuuu-paaa. Crowds if Poohs began to gather outside of the freshly gilded gates, before finally entering the Palace grounds and wending their way to the outside doors of the new Ice Hall. As they entered, each was presented with a crystal bracelet which emitted a soft white glow. The bracelet became brighter with wear and movement. Excited murmuring passed from bear to bear. The crowd of bears shuffled forwards, thousands upon thousands had made their way to Palace Hanyu, to pay homage to their beloved Emperor. The crowd was enormous, but good natured and full of warm feeling towards their ruler. Before long the crowd was inside the darkened Ice Hall. A hush descended and the bracelets flickered, then blinked out. The darkness inside the hall was absolute, even the soft whispers halted and the hall was silent, save for the sound of breathing and the occasional cough, followed by a whispered apology. Very gradually, a golden light began to emanate from one wall of the hall, as the light increased the golden sculptures were revealed. There was a golden archway with gears and hands of a giant clock. The Poohs were delighted and clapped wholeheartedly at the beauty of the sculpture. The bracelets glowed a faint blue The Emperor entered the hall through the clock archway, both arms outstretched. The Poohs began to roar and cheer, stomping their feet and clapping their paws. "Emperor Hanyu" , "The Emperor", " Hurrah" Emperor Hanyu began the Ice Stories, first telling the story of the Mage Seimei, who had brought wisdom to the ancestors of the Hanyu dynasty. The bracelets glowed purple. The story finished, to cheers and applause. As the noise died down, a sound could be heard, ticking and gears whirring, the a metallic clank as the hands of the clock changed from the 12:07, the Emperor's birthday to 11:11 the number of good luck. The crowd exploded with more cheering, then a hush once again as the next story began. This time the music was performed by musicians who lived close to the Ice Caves of Sendai, they had composed and performed this music for and with the young Prince, when he had begun to perform some of the ice rituals. The Poohs clapped and stomped in time with the music. The Emperor began to relate stories of his childhood, how he had learned the rituals of the ice and about his tutors and those who had inspired him as a child. The bracelets flickered and turned a purple colour. The Emperor whirled about on the ice, now as The young Prince, screams of delight erupted from the gathered Poohs as the Emperor performed high kicks. Then the music merged into a story from the Emperor's childhood, the inspiring story of Spartacus - slave who became a Gladiator but went on to win freedom for slaves Some of the Poohs were crying softly, the story was very moving. The music shifted to a love story, full of emotion and drama. The Emperor was a vision of beauty. Gliding and twirling as one with the ice, his image mirrored as if a dream emperor was dancing with him under the ice, the spirit of the ice itself. Then a new story, the Emperor and the spirit of the ice beneath his feet. The robes were sheer and fluid, like water as the Emperor floated over the ice. The lights dimmed, the glow of the bracelets faded. Suddenly the Ice Hall chandeliers flared and the Emperor stood a the centre of the room. The Poohs cheered their appreciation, clapping, stomping. The Emperor beamed at them, bowing deeply to each side of the room, calling out " My Friends, My Poohs" to ever more thunderous applause. After much begging the Emperor was persuaded to perform once more an encore to Dream of Spring and of an Evening in Paris. The Poohs were beside themselves. Smiles, tears of happiness and paws sore from clapping so hard. They loved their Emperor and their Emperor was overjoyed to share the love in return. Finally the Poohs were ushered out from the Ice Hall chattering excitedly, this would be a tale to share with Grand Cubs and dreamed about for many years, never to be forgotten. The Palace was nigh on empty, just the Emperor triumphant, his jump ladies and the Imperial staff. So came the end of another magical and joyous day in the reign of Emperor Hanyu, Ruler of Planet Hanyu, First of His Name
