Marika has updated Yuzu appearances and shows for rest of April and May.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mr. Hanyu said that he had run out of ideas with GIFT, so he is now in a neutral state. What would be the next step? Will there be any announcements before fantasy on ice? I want to continue to see his new challenges as he wants to expand his range of expression! !

A site called the Tokyo Journal is doing a popularity poll of Japanese athletes. Yuzuru Hanyu was on top for months, but overnight another player came out on top. The player's vote growth is unnatural, and there is a suspicion of fraudulent manipulation. Yuzuru Hanyu does not belong to a big management company, so he is often the victim of injustice, but let's unite and support him！

At least Yuzu's votes are because of genuine fan support. It is tiring but please help Yuzu if you can

It is possible to qrt the twt and say that fans are aware of what is going on so that the poll organisers are also aware that their actions have not gone unnoticed

…they are expensive. Very few skaters would go for this, especially if they are not well-funded. Skaters as prominent as Yuzu could have this requested because it’s an excellent marketing strategy for the brand. Most skaters also keep multiple boots-blades with them and having to order multiple custom pairs of blade is just not worth it (someone like Yuzu, who takes extra diligent care of his skating equipments is rather rare). 
Awhile ago, Yuzu got rid of any silver on his person when he is on the ice, including his blades, hence the now all-black blades.

I remember watching Boyang and his gold blades. That was a sight. Idk why he stops using it though. 

 

I guess we should be grateful Yuzu went for black blades and not gold!

IMO gold plating makes blades look tacky so black is the way to go LOL

This is Yuzu we're talking about. Even his blade covers have sequins!

There’s a difference between having blade covers with sequins and having flashy blades that probably would not have functional purpose. The boots and blades of skaters are their technical equipments. Yuzu would never compromise the functions of either just to be flashy. His blades, afaik, are the type that is the most sturdy as well as the lightest, aimed to increase the effectiveness of his jumps. Boyang Jin’s gold blades (and there was a ladies skater who had pink blades, but I can’t remember who), were not this type.
