This is an interesting thread with the OP's personal analysis and interpretation of A Fleeting Dream. :tumblr_inline_mg16go8gBg1qdlkyg:

Very insightful analysis, but it's making me sad nonetheless.... 

Yuzu has showed everyone how ice shows can be totally different to what we used to see in the past. Prologue’s atmosphere was intimate, and it showed so well that everything came from Yuzu’s heart - it was unique, just like Yuzu is. :tumblr_inline_n18qr5lPWB1qid2nw:

 

I loved how there was a review of Yuzu’s amateur career with videos from the past. The introduction with the music to Romeo and Juliet (Nino Rota’s) was so beautiful. There were some parts that were hard to watch, for example CoR 2018 when the injury from 4Lo happened, and that from different angles…or CoC 2014. The snippets from his childhood were cute. It was also interesting to see he included Ryuju and Patrick who beat him but no one else :) 

 

The 6-minute warm-up with the lights on and then Seimei was such a great idea, Seimei was sharp both times. On Saturday the 4S fall was so unfortunate because he  landed the jump easily and then suddenly slipped. On Day 1 it was perfection.

 

I loved the live shamisen, the sound of the instrument is beautiful and Change in the new costume looked so good. I hope we’ll see more live music at Yuzu’s shows in the future.

 

Then I loved how RJ1 was showed on the video and then the transition to the live performance when Yuzu appeared on the ice in the same costume - very creative. Maybe there were some adjustments (especially on the pants) but it is crazy that the costume still fits him anyway.

 

I loved LGC too, with zusaaa, Hana Ni Nare, Hello I Love You was surprising to see! And Spartacus from Day 1 was so good. I wish he skated to the full program some time in the future.

 

A Fleeting Dream was ethereal, it’s floating, just like cool down was at practices. It was very interesting to read what Yuzu has said about this program, his dreams, the 4A that fleeted away. Also the words on the ice and the projection mapping when he skated to this music. It’s making me sad in many ways. But after it, he skated to Haru Yo Koi, spring, new hopes, new opportunities will always come. After that, the clock was ticking, it moved forward from 11.11 to 11.12 just like life is moving forward to the future, to new paths. Something that I’m happy about is that Yuzu skated to a music he has always wanted to and that is close to his heart.  And the costume was stunning. :tumblr_inline_mto5i9TIpx1qid2nw:

 

The projection mapping was also beautiful, a bit too intensive maybe, at least it made it more difficult to see Yuzu when the camera was far away, which happened a few times. 

 

The bracelet was a lovely idea in general, it made the show a bit interactive as well. And ahh Yuzu got emotional when he saw that the bracelets turned blue at the end of the show. I hope he felt all the love coming from the audience. It was amazing to see the fully packed arena especially when the bracelets were lightning in different colors. It reminded me of millions of fireflies.

 

I hope Yuzu enjoyed his first two shows as a pro, he did a fantastic job and he can be so proud of himself. :clapclap4:

He is in very good shape that he was able to skate to so many programs in 2 days and to give attention to every details as the producer of the show. The schedule was really tough because there was less than a day between the two shows. He needs to pace himself really differently compared to competitions but he did really well. He’ll have almost a month to prepare for the upcoming shows, where he'll have at least one day off between Day 2 and Day 3. And if he’d like to make some changes, or has some new ideas he'll have a bit time for that.

 

Congratulations to Yuzu on such successful first shows as a pro :clap: and I can’t wait to see him again in December.:tumblr_llidknnxec1qzbrv5:

Sekkisei thanks Yuzu for his wonderful performance and looking forward to Hachinohe :67638860:

It was an inspired and quite brilliant piece of editing and Yuzu choreography, to choose the right moment and movement to merge from past to present. Even more impressive that Yuzu is still able to fit into the exact same costume. A very magical moment within a momentous show

Yuzu always has immediate access to the past programmes, with so much competition, gala and ice show footage, plus the original costumes which still fit.

Yes more of these shots please!!

I hope that we will have the opportunity to see いつか終わる夢 with a more suitable camera work to be able to appreciate both Yuzu's movements and the mapping. The photos and videos of journalists show that it is possible :tumblr_inline_nhkezsTB3v1qid2nw:

 

Edit: @Sun_Rise7777's twitter is a must for anyone who loves Yuzu :10636614:
