Prologue 2022 in YOKOHAMA

Featured Replies

I absolutely loves this part where Yuzu kept swaying left to right, right to left doing backward skating. Sooooo charming & loves his smile right there. My :heart: almost missed a beat. :2lbkos0:

His facial expressions here are very similar to those he had standing on the podium after winning the 2021 JAN. I remember watching the award ceremony time and again just to stare at his face…

Wonder how a young guy like Kouki Nakamura was picked to perform live for Yuzu. Must be an extremely coveted gig. Is he already well known?

ugh so i went to the live viewing and truly shaken to the core, my thoughts during prologue were :

 

- everytime the camera showed us the sold out venue i felt so godd*amn proud, fanyu ego is real.

- wait...he started with a warm up??

- "Ichiban, Hanyu Yuzuru" i want to cry

- why i feel so nervous this isn't competition but during Seimei i was so nervous i think i could throw up

- i love LOVE the red-black costume so much

- omg his arm looking HUGE on screen :10742290:

- omg he's looking for the camera, audience in my cinema chuckled

- is it just me or he looks so much more mature especially during the talking segment

- the lights from those bangle things are so pretty, omg LGC....

- audience in my theater is so cute clapping politely and chuckled during yuzu QnA session, i think covid restriction also prevented us from screaming or talking loudly 

- my cinema was packed (around 170 seats), i sat a the front row near the screen so when i said his arm looking huge it was truly HUGE. My eyes were blessed. :embSwan:

- hello i love you, are you kidding me yuzu i love hello i love you thats like my favourite hello i love you i mean HELLO WE LOVE YOU do you understand yuzu :loveshower:

- the ice projection during the new program and HYK......how much is the budget of this show, yuzu deserved this so much, this is THE ice show, will people show up next year for Faoi/SOI/DOI after the extravaganza that is PROLOGUE?? why would i pay for 3 hours show with so much filler and barely 10 minutes of yuzu when i can get 90 minutes full of Yuzuru Hanyu with extra bonus of olympic level ice projection at the same price???

- that was the shortest 90 minutes of cinema in my life, when he screamed arigatou gozaimashita i was so surprised, wait, IT'S OVER????ALREADY???WHYY???YUZU COME BACK PLEASE:sadPooh:

- of course there's an encore!!!PW!! and now i want those prologue shirt :13877886:

- awww the 2 cute obaasan ladies next to me laughing at the fact that the screen was way tooo close but they look so happy :heart:

- at the bus stop these 2 women behind me was talking animatedly about how fun the show was, how happy they were, reminiscing Sochi and when Yuzu competed with Patrick, my heart was so full and warm and there's a huge grin behind my mask and a bit of (happy) tears (ma'am, sorry i eavesdrop your conversation, i really wanted to join but my japanese is so bad hahaha)

- I'm so happy now i'm crying again :YuzuPoohSad:

 

Thanks for the report! You have made me die of envy :10636614:

This tweet is by a person who is doing maintenance of skating boots, etc.

It seems children enjoy talking to him, and according to him, they actually said Tsuzuki-sensei that day was kawaii :happy0007:

I totally get where they are coming from!! :) Certainly the relationship now between Yuzuru and Tsuzuki san seems very kawaii! :tumblr_inline_n0o1ffBcXo1qid2nw:

(in seriousness, I think Yuzuru hung onto Tsuzuki-san's words so much after Beijing, his words provided great comfort to Yuzuru I think!

Thank you Tsuzuki-san for cherishing Yuzuru's heart.)

Yesss! This was one of my favorite parts too. 

By the way, I really enjoyed his interaction with the speaker. Wasn't it the same lady as during the All-Japan? Lovely voice, wonderful job, so professional, so charming. 

I was also stunned by the way Yuzuru interacted with the audience. I shouldn't be surprised, because I've seen it before, but it wasn't on this scale. He conducted the entire performance so smoothly and skillfully, yet without any artificial showmanship. I was in awe, and so was my mother (I made her watch the whole show, she was enthralled, and it was she who pointed it out, without the slightest suggestion on my part).
