FaOI KOBE-at-a-glance

Day 1

Opening: FaOI Theme + Anri's "Cat's Eye" (easy 4T+high kick)

Chopin "Ballade No. 1" (2Lo // 3A 4T3T)

Encore: Prince "Let's Go Crazy" StSq, lots of flying kisses there

* there were no jump battles today since they were rushed after two skaters dropped their necklaces

Fan report highlights (please do not repost without permission from gladi)

Costumes:
Cat’s Eye costume sketch by gurikonoomake1@twi who attended, fanart by norakuro008@twi from imagination, but similar was separately confirmed by attendees

“Finale was the same as last year, with Fujizawa-san’s music. I hereby report that Yuzu wearing a mid-sleeved, black jacket on was too cool. Bottom was similar to the black pants and square-buckled belt of Parisienne Walkway. The lady beside me was muttering––'you can see too much of his tummy!'” (cr. bikketora@twi)

"Cat's Eye. Started from the short side, turning/spinning with the ladies (Hanyu-senshu was with Akiko-san). On the west end, he made fists and bent his wrists like “nyan!” (like a cat) and sang to “♪ tsuki akari abite” (awash in the bright moonlight)! Finally, he stood back to back with (Javi?) in the ending pose! And made a pistol with his fingers. As the lights went out, and he was exiting the stage, he confirmed the entry of the 4T. (cr. Blue_Flame_Rose@twi)

“Opening was Cat’s Eye :)) Yuzu debuted a hip-shaking dance with fleeting sights of his abs (as the hem of his shirt drew up) which drew laughs and smiles from the crowd. But why did he sway his hips and turned his head so much? Is this Cat’s Eye, Yuzu-style? :)) (cr. kurakura999@twi)

“Oh? [Yuzu] is performing with sexiness the level of Cat’s Eye itself? :))) Touching his face and such. During, he also did a cartwheel (?) to cheers...” (cr. to mikappa78@twi)

Lovely fanart of nyan! pose and ending pose by by hidetanmama@twi!

Chopin:
“Great cheers greeted Hanyu-kun before he came out ✨✨” (cr. yt_yh_love@twi)
“In the dark before the start, he practiced the the Loop from spread eagle, quad? triple?” “In the actual performance, it was 2Lo, 3A, and at/after 4T3T, quite unusually he came to a stop quite abruptly for a few seconds. That was good too." (cr. imoimo_gu@twi)
“Perhaps he didn’t generate enough speed from the last two steps, so he simply popped [the 4Lo]” (cr. bibi@weibo)

Yuzu's speech:
“How he started the MC session today was funny too. Because the audio system was on the other short side, the staff had brought the mic over to the stage side, on a stand. He was next to the stage sending each skater off to the backstage, high fiving with many of them. After the last skater went in, he made to return to backstage as well––and then came out again, super naturally [as if nothing had happened] picked up the mic to start MC time… I can’t quite describe that expression. Cute, love you! (cr. bibi@weibo)

“The mic had a cord today, so he held the mic with his right hand, and the cord with his left.
YH: Although few people will be going back today––
Audience: ???????
YH: 'People who are staying the night, please rest well’ ‘Those driving and so forth, please take care’ (we received his consideration :)) At some point during, he also said ‘Aahh–––so tired’ :))" (cr. aqua_ice_@twi)

“First day of FaOI Kobe just ended. Hanyu-san made binoculars with his hands to say he can even see the seats that are too far and invisible from the stage! Although due to the limited time, there was no jump battle, after he expressed his gratitude to the audience, staff, and artists, he threw air kisses while going “pyon~” (jumping up) with his whole body. (cr. gurikonoomake1@twi)

Here's your Day 1 report No official photos so far that I know of, probably can expect some by daytime in Japan.

@Hydroblade can we have a dialogue box pop up or something, to stop the page from going back and ask if I actually want to abandon all the changes... :13877886: It went back a page just as I was about to be done! *wails* .... *wails more*

Not if I leave the page via the "go back" function. I have had this happen to me a couple times now, but this time was the worst ToT

Other times, yes it saves.

I need to see this as well. Fortunately, this will be the broadcast version... although, I hope to somehow see all of the other versions too, snippets at least.

What if now it will be a tradition and Yuzu tomorrow will pop the 4Loop again, and on the third day he will land it perfectly? And then at Niigata, same thing will happen? :popcorn:

Well, TV Asahi just proved that if something interesting happens in the show that isn't broadcast, they will air that too
