"..but he’s also very friendly, sociable & full of love.." 3 hours ago, Pammi said: Miyakawa-kun is feeling loss we know how he feels! Sorry if already posted I also saw in the IG stories that some skaters from cried. After a long tour together saying goodbye was certainly very emotional for everyone and maybe that's why Yuzu had tears in his eyes during the interview after the last show. I miss him already.

June 28, 20224 yr 6 hours ago, Anabel said: Yes, it's better to wait for a complete translation, or better yet, several to be able to compare. But at the outset I would say that it's normal for me that Yuzu say that, the possibility of interacting with the public and feeling it closer only occurs in ice shows. In competitions he have to be focused on the program and the pressure is different. He loves to feel the public and to be looked at, so I don't see anything strange... Yes, full optimism working We can try machine translation to start feeding our curiosity. And I'm not interpreting that quote of context as anything but the uniqueness of an ice show experience vs a competition (just as you say @Anabel). I just love reading and watching Yuzu's interviews. Plus, he usually drops some hints to connect what he is doing in his performances with his own reflections and live experiences.

Don‘t repost outside of Planethanyu ! Spoiler Yuzuru Hanyu Born 7 December 1994 Yuzuru Hanyu has set many firsts in his career, including a successful quadruple Loop in an official competition and a Super Slam (the six major international titles in men's singles) in men's singles. At the Beijing Olympics, he also showed a quadruple Axel that was very close to being landed on the ice. His appearances in Fantasy on Ice, which began in 2010 and continued until 2022 in Kobe, have reached as many as 88 performances, and in recent years he has collaborated with artists each time to present new performances and world views. The programmes he has performed at Fantasy on Ice have therefore become an integral part of his career. This performance, which will be added to that history, will also be remembered. 2014 Sochi Olympic gold medal 2014, 2017 World Championships 1st place 2018 Pyeongchang Olympic gold medal YUZURU HANYU & JAVIER FERNANDEZ Fantasy on Ice has not been held for the last two years due to the spread of the new coronavirus. This time, there were already three stages, starting with the Makuhari shows from 27 May, and Shizuoka will be the final venue for the event. The two of them have been thrilling audiences with their wonderful performances at this year's shows. We spoke to Yuzuru Hanyu and Javier Fernandez, who have participated in previous Fantasy shows as main performers and have been inspiring each other to work hard since the summer of 2012, when they became teammates as athletes, about the attraction and difficulties of ice shows. Interview & text Toshimi Oriyama Q: It's been three years since Fantasy on Ice. You have already finished the shows in Makuhari, what was your impression of the start of this show? Hanyu: Fantasy on Ice is a long tour, from the first performance to the last day, but this time, from the very beginning, I could feel the enthusiasm of the audience, to the point where I was like, "Is this the last day already?". So I was happy about that. It wasn't just about my performance or everyone else's, it was more about the feeling of togetherness that only Fantasy on Ice can bring, and I felt that in the connection with the audience. Fernandez (hereafter Javi): I agree with what Yuzuru said, the energy coming from the other skaters and the audience was amazing. Also, I thought there was a lot more excitement in the air than usual, because we haven't had a chance to skate in front of an audience for a long time and we haven't had Fantasy on Ice for a long time. And I think for a lot of skaters, it's also challenging in a way. I hadn't skated like this for almost three years, so it's taken me a while to get back into it and of course I'm tired. But I think it was a good experience and a good comeback. Hanyu: Also, in an ice show, you have to show your uniqueness, something that only you can skate, something that will delight the audience because you are the one who skates it. I think ice shows require a lot of that. I think I have learnt that through ice shows, what does Javi think? Javi: I think the best thing about ice shows is that we can be playful and do what we want to do. For example, we can try different things that we wouldn't normally do, such as the style of the music or the program we choose. On top of that, there is no need to do very difficult technical things. We don't have to complicate the steps, we don't have to put in a lot of spins, we can be really open and focus on 'entertaining the audience'. And then, with music too, we can choose songs that we want to skate to, or that we think will be really exciting for us to perform. Of course, a show is meant to be for the audience, but it can also be 'useful for us'. Q: You have said in the past that you "push yourself very hard in practice" in preparation for such ice shows, but does the way you push yourself differ from competitions in that you focus more on the mental side, such as pushing your mind and raising your spirits? Hanyu: This time, for this Fantasy, I have been practising very hard, and I have actually lost about three kilograms of weight, and I think I have gained a lot of fitness. But when I'm practicing... if I'm practicing for a normal competition, I always do the same pattern, like I said earlier, "I think about how I'm going to present myself to the judges". I focus on the same direction in front of me. But when I was practicing for this Fantasy, I was also thinking about what it would really look from the back side. Then I thought, "Am I really expressing this properly?", I thought about it. It's obvious that it's expressive when you look at it from the front, but I was thinking about how it would look when you look at it from the back. *This interview was conducted on 2 June at Nippon Gaishi Hall (日本ガイシホール).

June 28, 20224 yr 2 時間前, Anabelさんが言いました: @Yuzuwinnie Yes, there are a lot of amazingly talented fanyus, with different styles but all awesome. The fanart thread is one of my favorite threads So the correct translacion is Lola. I don't know the musical, but for me Lola is a Spanish name, so I assumed that the translation as Laura was the correct one since it came from English (Laura also exists in Spanish but it is pronounced differently) I like more Lola as Nobu's character name Thanks for the clarification! In Japan, the musical "Kinky Boots" is well known as Lola was played by MIURA Haruma who died in 2020 at the age of 30. Spoiler https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyddPiKi95g

Thanks for the link, a very talented actor, it looks like he played the part brilliantly..so sad that such a young, talented, successful man took his own life (at least that is what I heard at the time, I do not know if that was ever confirmed - I will look it up!) I thought Nobu was great too - he is really a great performer and can certainly do character acting!
June 28, 20224 yr Finally had the time to watch the latest FaOI. Just some short thoughts: I loved how much fun they all had. That was what gave me the most joy in watching. The smiles and giggles and waves...and I don't mean Yuzu alone, I mean all the skaters. For Yuzus Raison........I watched it three times and I still don't know how to feel about it. For me, it's a weired mixture of brilliant and strange.....so I will leave it at that. Would love to know what the extra long hug at the end with Stephane (I think) was about, it just had my heart melt a little bit. And at last: A huge thank you to all of you who have posted videos, pictures and so on, it really helps people like me who couldn't watch the shows live (in my case, not-a-single-one! talk about bad timing here)

June 30, 20224 yr Hi everyone, Just wanted to give you the heads up that I uploaded full FaOI Shizuoka Day 3 to the videos section. However, the quality of the video is not very good so I also added a link where you can download a very heavy version (.mov, 10 GB) that has waaay better quality. I'm sure some of you are more proficient in video editing and conversion, so feel free to use the heavier video to make a better version available on Planet Hanyu.

I will still leave the potato quality version for those who want to download it but don't have a ton of GB in their computers. Enjoy the show!!! and huge thanks to Lynn487!!!!
July 1, 20224 yr I thought I would post here and then share on the other FaOI chats. I realized that some people are not taking full advantage of Japan TV, so I put together a document with instructions to search past broadcasts (they re saved for 1 month). I also added screenshots of the logos of the TV Channels as I know it's hard to figure it out which one is what: Japan TV- How to watch past broadcasts You can check the schedule of the past and future broadcasts here. Please note that new programs could be added as the TV stations are squeezing FaOI excitement :-) Also, some programs include new content. For example, most of what we have seen are the live broadcast of the 3rd days of the stops, but there will be broadcast of the other days for Makuhari, Nagoya and Shizuoka.
