Fuji TV published the post-FS skate - quick translation: 

The interviewer congratulates Yuzu for winning 4CC and achieving the super slam, asks how he's feeling. 

Y: Personally I just think "wow, did I really win 4CC at last..'  But actually, when I saw my score was below 300, I thought "oh no" (this might not be enough to win). So I didn't really feel happy in that moment. But in the end, I was able to clear all the jinxes/curses from before, so I felt really relieved.

Interviewer: Next month, you'll be competing at Worlds.

Y: Well, I'm not letting it end just yet. I want to keep working steadily to do the things I want to do; to skate in a way that feels like my own, with high standards and precision.

Interesting, someone identified the new Seimei color as "parrot green":

 

 

(Below is Google translate from page linked in original tweet, has more detail than the separate English description)

 

Moegiiro is a yellow-green color that resembles a young leaf that sprout in early spring. It is a traditional color name that has been used since the Heian era, and is also separately described as "Moegi".


It is a color that symbolizes youth because of the color of the young green sapling, and was loved as a color for young people in the Heian period. In the Heike Monogatari, the 18-year-old Heike nobleman, "Atsumori Taira," wears Moe Ozori's armor, and the twenty-year-old master of the bow, "Yoichi Nasu," wears Moe Omoe's armor.  Moe yellow is used as a symbol of young warriors, such as wearing.

 

It is also written as "Moegi Moegi". In this case, it refers to the dark green color derived from green onions and green onions, and became popular in the Edo period. By the way, the colors of Kabuki regular curtains are "black", "persimmon" and "moegiiro".

The google-translated explanation is actually referring to two different colors both pronounced Moegi --萌黄 and 萌葱.
The first one is 萌黄

and the second one is 萌葱.

The color used in the new SEIMEI costume is the first one, the color of young leaves.

In an interview given after FS, he said that his priority in making the new costume was to make sure it would not ruin the image of the program in everyone's memory too much since people have seen the footage of PyeongChang over and over again in many occasions and have a strong impression of it. So the costume had to have some affinities with the older one but be able to make people recognize the difference at a glance. It is not clear who chose the color, but he said that in that costume he feels not just strength but a bit of brightness and elegance.

https://www.sponichi.co.jp/sports/news/2020/02/09/kiji/20200209s00079000388000c.html


When I saw the new costume for the first time, the first thing that came to mind was young leaves, I mean, the real ones, not the name of this color. The young leaves are a symbol of spring and life, but I think it is also a symbol of a starting point, origin. Going into this competition, he chose to be completely true to himself even if it could make him vulnerable. He went back to what he truly loved and believed since when he was a child. Whoever chose the coloring, I think it suits SEIMEI 3.0 well in that sense as well.

 

I also think of what he said about SEIMEI's Stsq in the talk show held during FaOI 2018 tour. He said that he had an image of him (or Seimei) running through a bamboo grove and plants and flowers sprouting and growing on his trace.

I cannot point out exactly where, but he said he adjusted the length of the music by changing the speed of it. (He may have also cut it but not sure.) 
These are examples.

In both comparisons, the music is 4CC version. He does not just skate fast but also have changed the components of the spin.

The S-Park interview segments with Yuzu are pretty good.

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KZ-Vri6eMg

 

I don't have time to do a full translation (I'm pretty sure someone will sub this later), but some points I thought were interesting: 

 

- He brings up multiple times that sound/music is really important for his performance as a whole. Eg. says that the opening notes of Chopin help him enter the word of the music differently from any other program. Later he states that being able to do jumps and spins in sync with music is like happiness for him, and being very particular about that is the essence of 'his own' skating. He says this is the case 'especially with the short program', kind of implying that one of his main problems with Otonal was probably that he found it was difficult to perform the elements in sync with the music. 

- He talks about how he was scared to perform these programs because of their legendary status - he was worried about how they would be evaluated/received. But as he gradually got into performing them, he felt that the music/sound really helped him regain the image he needed. Later he says that as he was doing these programs, he realised 'ah, this is really my figure skating; this is the kind of figure skating I should aim for'. So he wants to work towards Worlds with these programs, striving to show an even better version of his figure skating. 

- He feels kuyashii about FS. Says he was able to show his worldview to an extent, but not as much as he wanted to. There are things he wants to be able to show/express still better, and that's what he emphasises more than just becoming 'stronger'. 

- Performing Seimei 3.0 was tough because the music was sped up, and he wasn't completely used to the new tempo yet. 

- Cramming so many jumps into 20 secs wasn't really calculated. It just ended up like that because he wanted to put in a good axel from steps as a single element to get high GOE; then he thought it'd be cool if he could put in a flip from steps as well, as if it were just a continuation of the steps. He also wanted to be able to focus properly on the second half. 

- He isn't sure of the FS layout for Worlds yet, it might be the same or different. He intends to continue practicing 4A, but it's difficult and he can't say directly if he can do it. The layout will take shape as he practices in the coming weeks. 

- In the final short clip, he says that he's happy he chose to do figure skating. Although there were misses in the FS, the short felt fun. He feels accomplished and refreshed now. He also says there is nothing like figure skating when it comes to being able to express himself.  

 

I think this interview is nice because it confirms a lot of the things about his mindset we have been discussing here as well. It seems he's really focusing on himself and his own identity as a skater now. I think it's a very good sign for the future! It sounds kind of liberating to hear him talk like this.

His answer here seems kind of sad. I hope he doesn't actually think he's inferior just because judges don't give him good score.... :sadPooh:

My heart leaps with happiness when he talkes about his new found confidence in his skating & the clear path he sees ahead... but then sooo selfishly my poor heart skips a bit when he says "I was able to finaly do this at the very end"... my selfish heart is sooo not ready... 🙏😭💖💜

Yuzu used word 'ダメージ (damage)' but he did not say '怪我' (injury). In this context, he meant 'fatigue' from competition/travelling/etc. Just think in combat type of games, when you get hit, it shows -1000 points or something.  :ugly004: Your HP (health point) gets reduced (receive damage) but HP will recover after you have a rest. :big-bed-smiley: So there's nothing to worry about. :10742288:
