Excerpt from the Interview with Nobunari Oda. (Sorry, I just browsed at a book store, so it might not be exact.)

 

Nobu:  I once asked Hanyu-kun what his motivation was.  He replied, "I want to improve my skating, and I want to win.  With these two (motivations), I can push myself endlessly."  

「スケートがうまくなりたい。勝ちたい。この2つがあれば、いくらでも自分を追い込める。」:tumblr_m9gck4P2Jf1qzckow:

 

OK. Yuzu, you like competing after all, and now you are happy. But please please don't push yourself too much :smiley-angelic001:

Yep, i think i saw at least two posts with it trending on reddit (with like 25k upvotes and hundreds of comments) so it's no wonder. Actually, there has been a bunch of figure skating videos or moments that have gone viral on reddit lately (ladies podium mishap at IDF, anna's dress change, keegan holding the japanese flag etc), so i'm thinking of posting more Yuzu things to big reddit communities to try the luck, even though i'm a bit shy and nervous about posting content and not just commenting... (this is me asking others to participate and post more yuzu on reddit themselves if they see it fit in a community since i'm not sure i'll get around to it if you didn't get it lmao...).

Approximately: "The right leg is in this position, the left leg is in front of it... then, you bend your knee/lower your thighs and it becomes this shape. Then, you leap only from the right foot, and you land. This is the Loop jump. With the quadruple, you need to enter the jump with more speed. So the position (for the quadruple) is this. The right foot/ankle is angled in such a distorted way (the inclination with the ice is so much more sharp), and you have to put your whole body weight to jump from that position, so it is really easy to lose balance and fall. And I think it is also pretty scary. But in Hanyu's case, the fast and sharp timing with which he creates that position (inclination) and also the timing with which he leaps from the ice is really genius-like."

Music choices.

 

1. NDP (Per the TSL episode): Yuzu wanted to skate to POTO but David Wilson had just choreographed a POTO program for Chiddy the previous season and was reluctant. He suggested NDP because he knew Yuzu loved Weir and it was a lesser known Johnny Weir music/program so there wouldn't be too much comparison. David even gave Yuzu a cd/dvd(?) of the play but Yuzu said he couldn't understand it because it was in English (probably why he had a bit of a disconnect to the program).

 

2. R+J 2 (Per the TSL episode): Yuzu wanted to skate to R+J because R+J 1 was special to him. He wrote a letter to David saying he would do anything for David to choreograph and R+J program for him. David was reluctant to choreograph 'another' R+J program because he's done so many (including Sasha Cohen's iconic R+J). But Yuzu was very passionate about it so David relented.

 

3. Hope and Legacy (Per yuzusorbet's tumblr): In 2011, a Japanese fan gave a CD of a selection of music to Yuzuru, together with this sheet for him to mark down his feeling about the music.   Circle = Like; Triangle = Normal;  Cross = Dislike.  Yuzu filled it in and sent it back to her that year. (WOW!!!)  Note the last song… ‘Asian Dream Song’…. part of his free skate this season!  He drew double circles, meaning he likes it very much.  So he has already loved this song from way back!

Is this a new quote or a bit of a mistranslation? It seems different from what he said previously, notably at Saitama (that he MIGHT go for Beijing IF he feels competitive enough, not sure yet, etc.) ? This one sounds a lot more affirmative. Just Olympics trying to hype Beijing2022? I'm not sure how much weight to put in this "quote"... :14066882:

There are so many young skaters who look up to Yuzuru <3 I came across this interview with Andrei Kutovoi, he is a Russian skater who won a bronze medal at one of his Junior Grand Prix events this season and he said this about Yuzu:

Momoka Hatasaki, Japan Novice A Champion, started to skate after she saw Yuzuru in TV and was shocked. She wants to win Olympics.

Ryoga Morimoto, Japan Novice A Champion, admires quality in Yuzuru's jumps. He wants to win Olympics.

Hiroto Honda, silver medalist, wants to be amazing performer like Yuzuru. (In past he also said that he wants to jumps quints, but currently he is working on 3lz).

Tomoki Kimura, bronze medalist, watched Sochi Olympics with parents and started imitating Yuzuru's movements. Mom told him to start skating, if he likes it so much.
