About the Phiten necklaces Yuzu wears


malt

Recommended Posts

I'd just like to make sure if the Phiten necklaces Yuzu wears are just sponsors or if he actually favours them since a long time ago?

There are 2 Phiten necklaces Yuzu wears (mirror ball & chopper), which one does he wear more often?

(both are soooo~ expensive TAT)

He has been using Phiten since when he was 8. Following is Phiten's announcement released in 2014. (ETA: The release might have been in 2015)

 

"この度、ファイテン株式会社は、フィギュアスケーターの羽生結弦選手とアドバイザリー契約を締結いたしました。8歳の頃からファイテンを使用し始め、数々の国際大会でも欠かさず着用。体の感覚が違うことを実感し、愛用されるようになりました。ファイテンはこれからも羽生選手のコンディショニングをサポートして参ります。"

 

Translation: "This time, Phiten Co., LTD has signed an advisory contract with figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu. He started using Phiten products when he was eight years old, and he has been wearing them in many international competitions since then. (T/n: After wearing the first one,) he started using it habitually, realizing that it made a difference in how he felt physically. Phiten will continue to contribute to Hanyu senshu's conditioning."

On this page, :68271262: they explains the brief history of Yuzu and Phiten

Here is a rough translation and explanation of its content:

 

8歳のときから、氷上で一緒だったファイテン。
Phiten has been with him on the ice since when he was 8.

 

2006年、ファイテンショップを訪れた12才の羽生選手が記したメッセージ。
A message he left at a Phiten shop in 2006 when he was 12.

 

ジャンプとスピンの鉄人!
羽生結弦 12才
アイスリンクで毎日練習しているので、見に来てください。全部大会で優勝できるよう頑張ます!!
Strong in "jumps and spins"!
Yuzuru Hanyu 12 years old
I am practicing every day at the ice rink, so come and watch me. I will do my best to win at every competition I participate in!

 

『ジャンプとスピンの鉄人になる』
12歳の少年が描いた夢。
"I am going to be strong in jumps and spins."
The dream a 12-year-old boy envisioned

 

8歳の頃、父の薦めで出会ったファイテン。当時通っていたファイテンの店舗には、
彼の屈託のない笑顔の写真と手書きのコメントが残されている。
『ジャンプとスピンの鉄人になる』『全部大会で優勝』―そこに描かれた少年の夢こそ、
この後彼が紡いでゆく栄光の軌跡の原点であった。
He used Phiten first when he was 8, recommended by his father. At the Phiten shop where they used to go back then, there is a photo of him smiling carefree and his handwritten comment.
"Become strong in jumps and spins," "Win at every competition I participate in."--The dream he envisioned in there was the origin of his glory after that.


*After that, they introduce the models he used in 4CC2011, COR2011, GPF2013-2014, Sochi2014, WFC2014, and the one used in GPF2014-2015 and JNats2014, respectively.

Thank you!! Your a life saver!! I was scanning through his photos and the necklaces he used since 2010, but some of them seem different to the ones he uses now. The history one was SUPER useful :)

Are there any advices from users of Phiten products?

Although I've decided that I must buy a necklace (prob the chopper one since it seems to appear the most frequently), I'd like to know the effectiveness of its "healing effects".

i'm trying to distract myself from the ongoing worry. by shopping. 

does anyone has more details on the new gold wing shaped necklace? it is clearly branded as one of Yuzuru's necklaces, but was there real life evidence?

He was wearing it in 24h charity show promo in August. Then fans began their search and Phiten announced that it was a new collaboration. You can see Yuzu wearing it in some of the recent white wall videos.

Article about Yuzuru and Phiten from Quadruple Axel magazine (December 2021), automatically translated with OCR and deepL. I don't speak Japanese and this is not a proper translation. 

(Since it is not always possible to translate Japanese names with deepL correctly, I tried to write any names in kanji. If I made mistakes, I apologize to the owners of the names.)

Thank you for posting and translating this article :tumblr_inline_mfy92hO4sm1qid2nw:

 

I found the bit about the toesocks really interesting! I've been wondering for a while about them. Especially since Beijing, where I found some photo-comments about Yuzu in his toesocks quite belittling... :tumblr_m9gcvqToXY1qzckow:

They seem to be very important for the quality of his skating!

(maybe even some of his jump-saves were only possible because of them?!)
