The translation of an essay by Yuzu from his junior high school years 

Machine translation:
"Yuzuru Hanyu: "Even after turning professional, I don't think there will be any changes in the fundamental aspects. The world I originally wanted to express and the artistry and athleticism inherent in figure skating remain unchanged.""

 

Throwback to the GQ article with all the amazing photographs!

The 8th Yuzu and Reito collaboration! Cute! 

Yuzu is so funny! 

Yuzu keeps challenging himself and evolving further. 

 

I'm sure the photos will be amazing! 

Fanyus are really everywhere! 

Cinematographer Mica Komagata is responsible for this Aqua ad.

Quote

"Campaign for AQUA
with Yuzuru Hanyu, one of the greatest figure skaters in Japan
It was a very pleasant shoot with him, he worked hard and helped us to get the best shots - even giving us his self-filmed ice skating scenes to give the film more raw energy. 
We even made the clouds go away for a couple of minutes during the photo session."

Have to come back to this since IMO it points to one of the reasons why the world is as it is right now. Come to read it again, I feel how important it is for every aspect of our surroundings: video clips on SM getting shorter by the hour, fast fashion, people feeling pressured and exhausted at their jobs. And then there’s Yuzu. Not only his programs but his entire personality radiate veracity and reliability. You sense how much detail is being put into every detail. This gives people energy, a feeling of being home and looked after.

Holy Pooh! This is beyond impressive!

Yuzu is taking the "pro" in his pro career to a whole new level. As he has taken figure skating to a level never imaginable before him. 

Maybe this is one of the reasons why, despite not competing and not being present on an international level anymore, Yuzu is still being discovered by new fans (many in their twenties btw).
