That must be such a weird experience.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Who gets to stand there while replicas of their eyeballs are held up to them for colour comparison? Other than Yuzu, no one I know.

This look is Boyfriend on Date Night. Not too formal for dancing after a fancy dinner.

Do people even go on those kinds of dates anymore? I haven't met anyone who's done it in the last 25 years...

I’m a Gen Z and have no idea what this is so probably not... unless I am living under a rock.

Maybe it's because I'm European but I have never, and it was more than 25 years ago. And I know nobody who have.

But I liked the idea, not the least because if Yuzuru Hanyu himself happened to learn about it, his reaction would be certainly funny. 

Nam just shared this picture onto his Instagram story hehe

LAUGH SO HARD=))))

Never.  The last time anyone showed up with a jacket and tie for a date was probably prom.

The sad part to live in Brazil is that we don't even have proms, so the last time anyone showed up with a jacket and tie was probably a wedding or something.

One of my roommates in college was in a sorority, and she used to go on fancy dates like that with the fraternity boys. Don't know if they still do that.

 

ETA: Also, some fancy restaurants require you to dress up. I think this is also regional, as some locations are more formal than others.

It seems to be on a good way.

There are still restaurants (though NOT in Tucson) that require a tie and jacket, but they tend to have loaners for guys who show up without them.  In Tucson, there are places that literally cut your tie off if you show up with one.  Then they hang it from the ceiling. Yuzu goes to many "formal" events and, I think, did get a new suit last year (?) that must have been custom made for him because it fit so nicely.  Skaters legs and glutes do not lend themselves to the usual cut.

Plenty of fancy/formal restaurants here, but I don't know anyone who goes to them for dates, unless it's something like a wedding anniversary or an engagement or something. Lots of government wonks using the restaurants for 'working dinners', though. And the men going to those use this dress jacket and shirt with open collar look (that Yuzu's got on) fairly frequently.  

 

My one and only boyfriend literally laughed at the idea of a fancy date. His idea of a special night out was paying for my ribs at Montana's. Sadly, he's the norm, not the exception around here :(. kind of glad we're exes. And I'd like to think Yuzu would have the class to treat a girl to a fancy date if he were so inclined.

There again, I was very pleased with the quiet, traditional Portuguese restaurant we found, with real Portuguese family dishes, where casual clothes were the norm. I think this idea of "formal date" is not that European, from what I've heard from my friends. I have kept a weakness to good cod dishes and never found the like of their collard soup.

 

Photographer Tanaka-san's talking about Yuzu photo book 2015-2016. The video does not have English sub but looking through Yuzu photo book is still very nice :)

ETA: had to bring back these memes of Yuzu and Stephen!
