2017.08.17 Asachan Weekly Figure Skate 
Oda Nobunari on Hanyu Yuzuru program choices

 

0:22
YH: There is no point if I don’t win. If I do this program, 100% I can exceed it, right?

 

02:01
YH: I am doing Ballade for SP and SEIMEI for FP this season––SEIMEI is a SEIMEIwith a completely different composition, so different that it’s worth a title change in my mind. I will work hard and aim for [a level of] performance such that the audience will think so too. 

 

02:24
Ishii (the male announcer to the left): Well, let’s talk to Oda-san. So, bringing the same programs…

 

Oda: In the figure skating world––well, you all might already know––that happens quite a lot. There are even people who use [the same programs] three or four times. Amongst these––and after all, Ballade and SEIMEI were programs that broke world records at the time, so of course there is quite a good mental image even [in Hanyu’s own mind]. **. Hanyu-kun said it too, but the layout has changed a lot, so I think the audience’s impression [of the program] would also end up quite different.

 

**(やっぱそういうプログラムでぞんずみたいって気持ちもすごくわかりますし。Either bad pronunciation or a slip of tongue here. A bunch of native speakers weighed in and all had differing views. @tadakixd thanks for puzzling over this with me! \o/)

 

Ishii: Truly, many parts have been revised [in this version]. Especially with the quads. One, two, three quads. Remember this please. Only [one quad] in the second half. It used to be this layout [in the past]. The layout this time has become this (03:28). Oda-san, five quads, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. And––(Natsume interjects: additionally, three quads are in the second half!)––that’s right! In the second half with 1.1 multiplier on BV. 1, 2, 3 quads. Oda-san, that is immense!

 

Oda: That’s right! Already––this already––even to Hanyu-kun too, is MAX difficulty (makes X sign). Exactly because it is MAX difficulty, that it is done this Olympic season. If it were me and what I would do in terms of the layout, I would go with the layout I already have and do it properly. Well, that is the option that the average, mediocre skater like me (t/n Nobu?!!?) would go for. But this is an “attack.” This many quads––because the men’s figure skating field is heating up. And “I won’t win if I don’t attack” is a very Hanyu-esque sentiment, isn’t it?

 

Natsume (the female announcer to the right): His expression too, year by year––(gestures to indicate climbing up a ladder, nods)

 

Oda: Oh yes, indeed! And this program too, there are many big revisions to the transitions in between elements, and steps too, so the [audience’s] impression would change completely as well.

I don't know about Shae, but I think I read somewhere (can't remember where, I think Twitter) that Wilson was sick that day (anyone, please feel free to correct me if I got the info wrong).

Well Brian....I don't know about that, is your hair that confident?

And I think Nobu smells something with the layout....

Haven't you learnt to believe in this miracle, yet?  I've put all bad thoughts out of my mind. Something amazing is coming and I need all of my brain to fathom it!

Wasn't 'avoiding long build up to peaking' one of the reasons for repeating programs? Yuzu wants to wow the skating world from the get go.

 

As for his health, it has become the main focus of Yuzu this year, compare to previous years, and so I don't worry so much about that.

Boston wound is hard to heal ...Healthy body is luxury for Yuzu...

Can't wait for SEIMEI to blow my mind

Brian has perhaps let that go this season.

And yeah, I wonder what Oda is smelling there...
