On 4/23/2018 at 7:43 AM, sweetwater said: It might have already been fully translated by someone, but let me share a full-translation of his speech before the parade to correct and complement what I posted yesterday. Speech by Yuzuru Hanyu at the ceremony before his victory drive in Sendai on 22/4/2018: "Thank you for creating this opportunity on this occasion, an opportunity for me to say "thank you". Thank you so much. I am so grateful to all of you who have kindly offered support to this parade. I really want to thank you. I am so glad to have won two consecutive titles and to be in a situation where I can say "I'm home" to Sendai bringing a gold medal. This gold medal on my chest now, I believe that it is here because of the countless cheers and support I received from you. I want to keep this joy and this scenery before me in my heart with your cheers and support as I go on with my life. Thank you so much for today." Transcription of his speech in Japanese: この度はこのような場を、「ありがとう」という言葉を言える場を作っていただき本当にありがとうございます。 このパレードにご支援してくださったすべての方々に感謝しています。本当にありがとうございます。 こうやって二連覇して、金メダルを持ってこの仙台に「ただいま」って言えるような状況になり、本当に嬉しく思います。この、今自分の胸の前にある金メダルというのは、本当に皆さんの多大な応援やご支援があったからこそだと、本当に思っています。この喜びとか、また今見える風景、そして皆さんがこうやって応援してくださる、その気持ちとか、声とか、そういうものをずっと胸に刻んでこれからも生きていきたいと思います。 本当に今日はありがとうございました。 On 4/23/2018 at 8:23 AM, Erin said: https://twitter.com/figuure/status/988107442931171328?s=20 2 and 3 also in the thread.

Suddenly he looked 17 again, breaking into a big, big smile. And then he waved madly, yelling something –– “TANAKA-SAAAAAN!!" From this day onward, I will be Tanaka-san. You got a problem with that?

Halfway through so I'll update with the rest shortly Emperor: Congratulations. YH: Thank you. Emperor: You practiced quite a bit, didn't you? YH: Yes, that's right. Since I got injured, I couldn't practice well right before the Olympics. But I think I became very well practised because of my training regime up to that point. Emperor: I see. But I'm sure you took a lot of care when practicing after you got injured. YH: Definitely. I learned a lot. Even when I couldn't practice, there was a lot for me to study so in a way, it think it became a good opportunity. Emperor: When you say you studied when you couldn't practice, what sorts of things did you study? YH: I studied things like anatomy, the way my body moves, things like that. I figured that in terms of knowledge, there was a lot that I should acquire. Emperor: Is that so? So I guess, in that sense, you developed in that time. YH: Yes, that's right. When I practice normally, there are always things I miss, so I think this was a great opportunity. EMperor: Yes, for sure. But it was quite a difficult time as well, wasn't it? YH: Yes it was tough, but I'll keep working hard. Emperor: Get some good results. Congratulations again, honestly. YH: Thank you. Empress: *asks about his injury* YH: There is still one month of rehabilatation left. I can skate to some extent. As for my foot, the things I am doing now I can do without pain. Empress: How excellent. The Sendai parade was lovely. YH: Thank you. Empress: Everyone was so happy. YH: Definitely. I feel that at a time like this, I'm really glad I became a skater.
