"Good evening, Mrs. Sensei! I just finished watching Yuzuru Hanyu’s ice show 'GIFT' at the Tokyo Dome. At the end of the show, there was a video of Hanyu-kun skating to your song 'Boku no koto' (‘About Me’)! I absolutely love both Mrs. GREEN APPLE and Hanyu-kun, and when I saw that, tears started to fall. Thanks to the songs you share with us, I’m able to get through days filled with loneliness and physical and emotional pain. Thank you so much for always being there."

— "Kodomo no Ringo" (Child Apple),
17-year-old boy from Kanagawa

Ōmori: "Thank you!"

Wakai & Fujisawa: "Thank you!!"

Ōmori: "Okay, all together now..."

All (playfully, messing up): "Thank you... arigat... thank you... △※〇◆■… -masu!!"
(Everyone laughs at how out of sync they were.)

Wakai: "We’re so off! (laughs)"

Fujisawa: "(laughs)"

Wakai: "So yeah! During the end credits of Yuzuru Hanyu’s show 'GIFT' at the Tokyo Dome on the 26th of last month, a video played of him performing on the skating rink to our song 'Boku no koto'!"

Fujisawa: "Yeah!"

Ōmori: "Right! And I think that video is now on Yuzuru Hanyu’s official YouTube channel."

Wakai: "Exactly!"

Fujisawa: "Yup!"

Ōmori: "It’s been made public."

Wakai: "Yeah!"

Fujisawa: "Yup!"

Ōmori: "Actually, we were there in person at the venue and got to see it!"

Wakai: "Yes, we were! Actually!"

Fujisawa: "We went to see 'GIFT'!"

Wakai: "We had the privilege of watching it!"

Ōmori: "It was amazing!"

Wakai: "We’d only seen him through video before, so seeing it live, wow, the power was something else!"

Ōmori: "To feel firsthand that he’s been carrying the weight of inspiring and encouraging all of Japan on his shoulders, it really hit me how incredible that is."

Wakai: "Right?"

Fujisawa: "Yeah, totally."

Ōmori: "The way he’s constantly pushing himself to the brink, fighting to move forward, even by just a millimeter, and then turning all of that into a beautifully crafted show... It was really inspiring. It was such a meaningful experience, and the fact that he used 'Boku no koto' made it even more special."

Wakai: "Exactly!"

Fujisawa: "Totally!"

Ōmori: "We’d heard rumors here and there, like whispers in the wind, that Hanyu-san listens to our music."

Wakai: "Yeah! That word has been going around!"

Ōmori: "From our older songs to more recent stuff like Uta’s 'Watashi wa Saikyō' ('I’m the Strongest'), he seems to really listen to a lot."

Fujisawa: "Right!"

Ōmori: "That made us super happy."

Wakai: "So incredibly happy, right?"

Fujisawa: "Yeah!"

Ōmori: "Anyway, Hanyu-san, thank you for your hard work!"

Wakai & Fujisawa: "Great job!!"

Ōmori: "Now then, let’s get into tonight’s class session!"
