An Owl(Fukurou/梟), this pronunciation can also mean "No trouble"(Fu-kurou/不苦労) (on the left in the pic.) They are altogether at the entrance to welcome our guests. Just at the moment you enter my office, I want everyone to be wrapped up by his " AURA ". Moving ahead aiming at something " beyond ideal " with unlimited possibilities. My research institute where we have always been thinking about the children and their education seems to share almost the same attitude as YUZU's attitude toward figure skating There are so many things I have learnt from YUZU <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

https://t.co/5lOHSODx80 [ An old article of Yomiuri Newspaper (dated ?/Just before Sochi Olympics) shown on a twitter.-------------------------- Firstly, it's written Kanagawa Newspaper but corrected later to Yomiuri as seen on the chat there. As it's an old one, maybe sb has already translated it. Anyway, bc I haven't seen it yet, so.....please, as always said, feel free to ignore it. Also bc it has sth to do with the latest post of mine regarding his decision to participate in an event in Kanagawa. Lastly, in that post from "News Town", it was reported that Yuzu was in Yokohama about 8 months BUT in this article, it was like 6 months. Just for your better understanding. Thanks.] ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Headline/Topics: " Hanyu Senshu encouraged by his fellow skaters " " Training Base after the East Japan Earthquake, "A "Large" Flower at Sochi " " *Kanagawa Skate(Skating) Rink " ---------------------------------------------------------------- Pic 1: " Yuzuru Hanyu had something shining since his early childhood & boyhood days, said Mr. Shoichiro Tsuzuki at "Kanagawa Skate Rink (KSR)" Pic 2: " Yuna Aoki-San and Yuzuru Hanyu Senshu at nearby park (May 22, 2011) " ---------------------------------------------------------------- At the Sochi Olympic Winter Game which will be held from this February 7(2014), Yuzuru Hanyu Senshu(19)(ANA) who is expected to be the one to win a gold medal was especially cheered from his fellow skaters in Yokohama. There are coaches as well as training mates of KSR (Kanagawa Ward, Yokohama City) where Sendai-born Hanyu Senshu who was temporarily there as his training rink after the East Japan Earthquake. They wished him to be able to "SHINE" at Sochi as much as how he had been suffering... Not long after the earthquake, Mr.Shoichiro Tsuzuki(76) got a phone call from Hanyu Senshu's family asking him, " Is it possible to allow him(Yuzu) to train there ? ". That was when he was an exclusive instructor of the KSR. Mr.S.Tsuzuki was a veteran coach who also instructed a WFC's bronze medalist, Mr.Minoru Sano(58). When he worked as a coach in Sendai City, he first met Hanyu Senshu who was at Grade 2 of Nanakita Elementary School. Hanyu Senshu who experienced that huge earthquake was temporarily spent his life together with his family at a gymnasium of a school there. The damages of his home rink's facilities were too bad to be able to use any more. Mr.S.Tsuzuki along with Mr.Yamasaki(78), the Rink's president were as quickly as they could so as to prepare things for Hanyu Senshu to be able to continue his skating life there. At least, he could concentrate on his practice, whenever other users who came there wanted his autograph and to take a picture with him, we begged them to quit. BUT, what Hanyu Senshu said about this was, "What I can do now (for everybody) is only this.", so he had never said "NO" to those requests ! It must have been very hard for him, no matter where he was, in or out of the Rink, he really behaved admirably. Hanyu Senshu used Yokohama as his training base about 6 months ( 8 !?) while at weekends, he had to travel to join Ice Shows held throughout the Country in order to help restore the stricken areas. Needless to say, it was such a severe surroundings for him to have to move to the places where he wasn't get used to like hotels and so on here and there. Nevertheless, Mr.Tsuzuki thought that under that circumstance, he became stronger and grew up in terms of mental development. Apart from that, Mr.Tsuzuki also said that he had been exerting every possible effort to bring up junior generation to be qualified for an Olympian. Last month, on the last day, when it was still dark from around 4:45am, training started off. There, they were on the ice, students from elementary schools and junior high schools.... Yuna Aoki-San (12) said she could vividly remember all of Hanyu Senshu's postures during training ! The height of his jumps extremely surprised me. And when she asked him for an advice, he taught her in a very polite way, saying things like, "You had better make your axis much more straight." And another girl, Kawabatake-San (川畑和愛)(12) said that Hanyu Senshu enjoyed with her by playing tag(Oni-Kokko). He was the senior who we adored / the man of our dreams ! Mr.Tsuzuki finally said, " Life at Yokohama must have left in his heart and hope that he can be like a man who can make a "large" flower bloom ! " |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| (As you can see on the twitter, it's really hard to see the words, small and quite obscured. Partially, the words were not only blurred but just were not there ! So, in advance please be apologized if there is any misunderstanding.)

A collection of Yuzu's costumes & those small stuffs at FaOI 2017.I love it. Nice layout, too, isn't it ?

Here comes again, another episode about Yuzu from Ogi-mama! (......Ogi-mama's blog as of June 22, 2017 ) |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| " Wanna show a perfect performance ? " :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: " I couldn't do it......I'm sorry... . " Yuzu was looking at my eyes with his smile at the backyard. So, I said to him like this " No..no..not at all. That was just marvelous. " As he was so modest/humble that Ogi-mama made a desperate effort to tell him so. Probably because of that encore number,"Parisienne Walkways". That program, I believe it was performed as a short program without any mistake at Sochi Olympics ! Definitely, the one with the Guiness World Record. It's possible that he meant to say that he was sorry that he couldn't manage to perform it as perfectly as he could. Unquestionably, in brief, Yuzu has always wanted to skater perfectly. What a man of integrity ! What a strict person ! And, What a tender-hearted human-being ! No,...NOT MERELY A WORLD CHAMPION............ It's because he has lived his athlete's life with the major premise of such insatiable strict to himself, he can never lose his balance by his kindness to his fans. Amazing Person. Great Person. From my heart, I have great respect to him. It's might be a bit unnecessary things to say but I have sth to say more about Yuzu when he was at the backyard. When he took a photo with me, (you sure knew,) he still put on his skating shoes. There ! It must be most difficult for Yuzu to try to fix himself with my height. Actually his legs must be pretty in unsteady condition. Yuzu. What a terrific person ! ! ? Don't you think that he is ? ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| ( I have to say I feel I'm honored to have a chance to know and share this kind of thing with you, Yuzu's fans. A "great" respect from a person who is also respected by a great number of people is...sorry, I have no words.... Please forgive me if there is any mistake.I just translated it with my heart )

Just knew from Ogi-mama's blog that the Audience Rating of "Tetsuko's Room" was No.1 among all TV Programs of the same category broadcasted at that period of time ( Tuesday, June 20/12:00~12:30/5.9% ). |||||||_____|||||||_____|||||||_____|||||||_____|||||||_____|||||||_____ https://mobile.twitter.com/Japan_Olympic/ status/875325776014458881?p=v https://t.co/ryEYAxMxZO There will be 2 TV programs as follows, recorded from the Olympics Concert as held on June 9, 2017 at Tokyo Int'l Forum.

Just a little bit of new information! http://www.townnews.co.jp/0117/2017/06/22/ 387246.html Source of Information: "Town News" ( a regional newspaper, Kanagawa Pref. ) ------------------------------------------------------------------- "Hanyu-senshu At the Exhibition on Ice in Aug 16, 2017" |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Training Base after the East Japan Earthquake (Mar 11, 2011) : Kanagawa Skating Rink Miyagi-born Hanyu-senshu was there at the"Kanagawa Skate(Skating) Rink"(Now named,"The Bank of Yokohama Ice Arena", after renovation and reopened in Dec 2015) about 8 months for his training base with his coach. With regard to the event to commemorate the 90th Anniversary of Ward System of Kanagawa Ward in this August, Hanyu-senshu said about the very reason for his participation in this project that there was a special implication in his decision that he would like to show his gratitude towards the kindness he had received during that tough period of time there. According to a coach who knows things in those days also revealed that during the break time of his training there, Hanyu-senshu often went to Tammachi Park (反町公園), next to the rink to enjoy playing tag (Oni-Gokko/鬼ごっこ) with younger students too.

https://t.co/1Z6lsLwxxk The present Ogi-mama handed to Yuzu in Niigata seemed to be a ***"Jim-Bei" ! ------------------------------------------------------------- ***Jim-Bei(甚平) is a men's casual summer outfit of short-sleeved jacket and knee-length pants, usually worn particularly during Summer Festivals in Japan. Nowadays, there are quite a wide range of colors as well as designs but the one for Yuzu is the traditional one in terms of both color and design which is cool, imo. It's made of denim, though. And considering from the paper bag, this one was bought at "Tokyu Hands".( http://search.yahoo.co .jp/r/FOR=x8oHB81V3ihfS71_bF5g1g5sQ1EH0jvjec GoFoiA4orbaZI1J75__NKQsHVVR.lO7OiQcI1QoqkC RGAPVCrasSmZ9Vbt1Qs3AD9tKZR3WxnpAty3_AL r9EaTcF7wN16CLzV1HGZXzsMPs81KklsDQWT365 egxW2CwG2wZf_CojCsMU8j9CW40ZaCF5nHigYd EOk1OwnobL2ji9g0HDWu8ch4GR79E4m.5ir666Eg yGpEcvRJ.q_s/_ylt=A2RA0m2XDktZpUoAYn1FVfx7; _ylu=X3oDMTEzY2UwZWE0BHBvcwMxMARzZWM Dc3IEc2xrA3RpdGxlBHZ0aWQDanAwMDQw/SIG= 1239f387f/EXP=1498191959/**https%3A//www.bu ysmartjapan.com/en/shop_lps/hands ) ------------------------------------------------------------ Now, sth nice from sb in this twitter: This Jim-Bei will become him/he must look nice in it ! Nice choice from Ogi-mama. Yuzu should put it on and do things like : A watermelon bust Romping around ( I would rather say being usually high-spirited and talkative too ) with "Senko-Hanabi" ( Sparklers or small fireworks resembling incense sticks ) Eating "Kaki-Gori" ( Shaved ice flavored with syrup )............ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Hopefully he can have a chance of enjoying his Japanese Summer during his stay in August in Japan as a break which he deserves it for sure ...............before the coming-up tough battles !

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" "An episode with Yuzuru Hanyu Senshu" """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" In the old days while I was in Sendai singing a song for a live relay broadcast, I was told by Yuzuru Hanyu Senshu himself that he watched it at the rink there ! I was quite surprised to know that he remembered me. Yuzuru Hanyu Senshu also told me that all of the words of musical pieces used at the show such as ***"Ode to Hope~ Symphony No.9" and so on which I sang at the Finale were all in his head ! I really want to learn how to remember those words from him. ( ) As for me, I simply forget the words. ( ) """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" ***"Ode to Hope~Symponu No.9" is perhaps a musical piece he arranged by himself based on Beethoven's "Ode to Joy ~Symphony No.9"

Re: Ogi-mama Official Blog dated June 21, 2017 ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Must be the first time since I last had a chance to meet Yuzu this way. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| For sure...?! Yuzu took both of my hands.....all of a sudden squatted down, trying to meet with my eyes and talking to me with a smile on his face !! Must be the first time for me to be in the situation of talking with him face-to-face like this........Ogi-mama,with his faltering explanation... When I was ushered by Miki Ando-san's Manager to the noisy backyard after the curtain fell. Guess what. There, in front of me.....(was).....Yuzu who had just finished his photo-taking together with Miki Ando-san. As if he was waiting for me, standing there with his cheerful smile. I was kind of couldn't even raise my voice but like in an undertone, "A...Ah !". It was Yuzu who in a sudden held out both of his hands (to grasp my hands) and began to talk to me ! ! "When I first met you, we wore the same designed neckties. I have no doubt that was when we were at (a TV program) 'Mr. Sunday', weren't we ?" It was about 3 years ago on March 30 when Ogi-mama was at the studio for a LIVE broadcast for Fuji TV's program, 'Mr. Sunday', and encountered Yuzu (19) who had just finished his competition. The main newscaster, Mr.Seiji Miyane who was quick-witted, giving me an opportunity to have a conversation with Yuzu. At that time, to my unexpectedly utterly irrelevant words, "Ah !! Same neckties !!" ; Yuzu gave his words to the TV Monitor with his smile, "I'm sorry.......probably I was trying to imitate you..." At that moment, "I fell in (love) with him " How on earth can he remember me... That LIVE broadcast was already 3 years ago !!!!! AGAIN, the arrow was completely pierced my heart. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| It's him, YUZU that I myself can't help sharing sth like this with you all. (Sorry I just happened to look at things in the Net very late today. If there is any mistake, please be apologized. Always in a rush! If there is a better translation, please just ignore or delete it. I don't mind at all, as I'm just a volunteer ! )

An introduction of Yuzu for 2010 FaOI Niigata (Toki Messe Ice Arena) He was a high school student (10 Grade). Still had chubby cheeks. Except DOI, wasn't this show the first one he joined ? No ? At that time, he was already Champions of 2009 Jr. GPF & 2010 Jr.WFC.
