For some reasons, this pics always make me emotional... Seeing him doing lighthearted sightseeing with a fellow TJ member. Now we don't see such images anymore. And I wonder if it's because he basically stays in his hotel room in competitions to avoid paparazzis and crazy fans (which would be sad), or if he manages to keep some private time in ninja mode and his friends respect his private life and don't publish pictures (which would be a good thing).

(and, okay, machida and Yuzu togetehr always make me emotional :))

Probably more of the former-security reasons, than the latter. To which, honestly feel bad for the skaters. It kind of sucks out the fun of having to fly across the world, suffer jet lag and then get up and work like crazy. Wish we could have some kind of silent skating fans agreemeent where we all agree to not disturb our favorite skaters and just let them be, so they can safely frolick through the competition city. 

 

Speaking of which, does the ISU or the competition host city do any sight seeing arrangement/tours for the skaters? It would be a great way for the skaters to de-stress, and if the ISU or host city can provide some security, it would be more secure than a bunch of skaters wandering on their own (even if they have bodyguards like Yuzu).

NHK NEWS WEB/Special feature article

The way of Living : "BOTSU-ICHI"

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

 

"Recently, I have found something to be completely absorbed

  in. That is a figure skater, "YUZURU HANYU".  I have been 

  going to many competitions regardless of the distance,

  in or out of the Country to root for him.

  This has turned my attention to the new world ! "

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The unavoidable sorrowful fact between married couples that 

there is such a high probability of "there will be the one who will

pass away first !"

 

Now, people who lost their spouses call themselves"BOTSU-ICHI".

This word is derived from the word,"Batsu-ichi"(a divorced person).

 

The sentences mentioned above was made by a lady as seen on

The pictures in the article). She also continued, " I may never ever 

recover from the painful loss of my beloved husband but even it

takes time, I believe that there'll come a day when I'll feel better.

And some day when my husband would come to pick me up for

my journey to the other world, I think by then I could enjoy telling

him about what I had been doing after his death, this and that. "

Yuzu, you see !  How incredible you are to help people to be more

positive about their lives and more, enjoy themselves as much as

they can...

Just want to share and as it's about .

Me too since this is not focused on his skating but more on his eccentricities if we might call it like that... haha!

I love interviews in which we can see his human side more. 

I loved the homework part, because we actually know he was a brilliant high school student, but was terrible at homework. I can relate. LOL.

I love the way he imitated his mother and sister with that stern 'Yarinasai!' and the way he pouted in protest...
