Yes, that's what he said during the post press conference interview with Shuzo-san (Hodo station). He retired from competitive figure skating (some would say he retired from JSF and ISU). But he is pretty much doing the same as he had been doing until now in terms of goals, drive, training, etc. 

 

Video dnippet with English translation of that part of the interview:

Hi hope this link works - it's from Max's live stream titled Yuzuru Hanyu's 4 Axel - v interesting reading....there was something sad and unexpected (for me at least) but understandable at the end, I won't tell you what.

 

@ImmortalBeloved I recommend for you as Max talks a bit about prerotation, scoring, and the disadvantage to skaters who don't prerotate due to judges ignoring prerotation  (for their fave skaters at least....)

フィギュアスケート男子で五輪2連覇を達成した羽生結弦さん(27)のスケート人生には、さまざまな人たちがかかわってきた。その一人、振付師の宮本賢二氏(43)は2012-13シーズンの「花になれ」や、15~16シーズンの「天と地のレクイエム」など、エキシビションの振り付けを担当した。競技会からの引退を受けて聞いた、当時の思いや、プロスケーターとして歩む今後への期待などを掲載する。

 

Various people have been involved in the skating career of Yuzuru Hanyu (27), who has won two consecutive Olympic titles in men's figure skating. One of them is choreographer Kenji Miyamoto (43), who choreographed exhibition programmes like "Hana ni Nare" in the 2012-13 season and "Requiem of Heaven and Earth" in the 2015-16 season. We asked him about his thoughts on Hanyu’s retirement from competition, and his expectations for his future as a professional skater.

 

 

-競技会からの引退を聞いて、どのような思いだったか。

「一番は寂しいという気持ちでした。ずっとトップにいましたし、世界の宝のような選手です。喪失感のような、心にぽっかりと穴が空いたような感じでした」

 

Q: What were your thoughts when you heard of his retirement from competition?

KM: The main thing I felt was that I would miss him. He was at the top for a long time and is a world-class athlete. I felt a sense of loss, like having a gaping hole in my heart.

 

 

-エキシビションの振付師として、2012~13シーズンの「花になれ」や、15~16シーズンの「天と地のレクイエム」などを手がけたが、きっかけは?

「東日本大震災が発生した2011年、4月9日に神戸で『東日本大震災チャリティー演技会 ~復興の街、神戸から~』を企画しました。羽生君が大変な状況だと聞いて、“みんなの前で滑ってもらえないだろうか?”ということが、最初のきっかけだったと思います」

 

Q: As an exhibition choreographer, you have created 'Hana ni nare' in the 2012-13 season and 'Requiem for Heaven and Earth' in the 2015-16 season and others, but how did you come to be involved?

KM: On 9 April 2011, after the Great East Japan Earthquake, the 'Great East Japan Earthquake Charity Exhibition, in Kobe, the City of Recovery' was organised in Kobe. When I heard that Hanyu was in a difficult situation, I thought, "Couldn't he skate here for everyone?" I think that was the initial starting point.

 

 

-振り付けで心がけていたことは?

「『花になれ』のときは、『まずは歌詞をすごく大事にしてほしい』と伝えました。振り付けの前に『まずこの曲を全部歌えるようにしてほしい』と言ったら『全部覚えました。全部歌えます』と言われて。すごく感動しました。吸収するのが早くて、振り付けた動きに自分の魅力をプラスして、本当に歌いながら滑っていました。見る人に元気や癒やしを与えていた印象です」

 

Q: What did you have in mind for the choreography?

KM: For 'Hana ni nare', I said, "First of all, I want you to be very serious about the lyrics". I wanted him to be able to sing the whole song before we started the choreography, and he said, "I've memorised the whole song. I can sing all of it". I was very impressed. He learned the choreography very quickly and added his own flair to the choreographed movements, and he was really singing while he skated. I got the impression that he was giving energy and healing to the people watching him.

 

 

-振り付けへのこだわりのようなものは見受けられたか。

「目が本当に鋭くて、目でビデオを捉えているような感じでした。自分の中ですぐ解釈していました。最初はコピーをして、それをもっとこうした方がいいかな、と自分で動いてみたりする。だから教える方としてはすごくプレッシャーですよね。軽い動きとか、さらっとしたものをしてしまうと、彼はおそらくすぐに見極めて、“もうちょっとこうですか?みたいな感じで言われるだろうな”と思いながら。緊張感がありましたね」

 

Q: Did you see any particular commitment to the choreography?

KM: His eyes were really sharp and it was like he was capturing a video with his eyes. He was quick to interpret it in his own mind. At first he would copy me, and then he would work on it on his own to see if he should do it this way or that way. So as a teacher, it was a lot of pressure. If I would do something too light or too casual, he would probably spot it right away and say something like, "Could it be a bit more like this?" It was quite intense.

 

 

-質問されることはあったのか。

「彼との振り付けですごく印象的だったのは、お互いにあまりしゃべらなかったんですよね。こんな感じでとか、こういう雰囲気で、みたいに。ちょっとした言葉は言うんですけど。テレパシーではないかというぐらい、こちらの振り付けの意図をすぐに見つけてくれて動きにしてくれました」

 

Q: Did he ask you any questions?

KM: What was very impressive about the choreography with him was that we didn't talk much to each other. We would say a few words, like 'like this' or 'in this atmosphere'. We just said some small words. It was almost like telepathy, because he was able to immediately grasp what I was trying to do in the choreography and transform it into movement.

 

 

-以心伝心のようにも思える。

「だれに対しても心を読み取ることがすごいのだろうと思いました。その話を本人にしたら『人はいろいろと違う形で教えるけど、賢二先生はそういう感じでやりますよね』と。的を得ているなと」

 

Q: It seems to be a heart-to-heart communication.

KM: I thought it must be amazing to read someone's mind. When I talked with him about it, he said, "People teach in different ways, but Kenji-sensei does it in this way". I thought he was right.

 

[t/n: Again, this is only an automatic translation. Please look at the overall meaning rather than at the exact words. I don‘t want to become the source of rumours about Yuzuru Hanyu actually reading other people‘s minds.]

 

 

-特に印象的だったことは?

「覚えるのがまず早いんです。こういうこともできます、と自分の技術を出してくれて、それを取り入れましょうということもあったので、一つのプログラムをもっと自分なりに、そして私の意向も添えて大きくしてくれる。共同作業のような感じでした。『これをやってね』ということをただやるのではなくて、一緒に作り上げていく感覚でした」

 

Q: What was particularly impressive?

KM: He learns quickly, first of all. He would show me his own techniques, saying that he can do these things, and then we tried to incorporate them, and so he was able to make the programme greater in his own way, and with my ideas as well. It was like a collaborative process. It wasn't just 'do this', it was like we were creating it together.

 

 

-人を引きつける魅力はどのようなところにあると。

「いつも神がかった演技をしますが、簡単にトップにいたわけではないじゃないですか。けがのときにも、周りの人は“彼なら絶対に奇跡を起こす”と口にしていましたが、それを超えるような演技、結果を出してくる。でも普段は本当に普通の子。にこにこしていて。そこが魅力ではないですか。スケートの技術はもちろんですけど、それ以外のところも人として素晴らしいと思っています」

 

Q: What do you think is the attraction that draws people to him?

KM: He always gives a divine performance, but it wasn't always easy for him to stay at the top. Even when he was injured, people around him were saying, "He will definitely perform a miracle", and he performs and achieves results that go beyond that. But normally he's a really normal kid. He's just so smiling. Isn't that part of his attractiveness? Of course he has great skating skills, but I also think he's a wonderful person in other ways.

 

 

 

宮本賢二(みやもと・けんじ)1978年11月6日、兵庫県姫路市出身。シングルからアイスダンスに転向し、全日本選手権優勝など数々の栄冠を手にした。2006年に現役を退いた後は振付師として活躍。羽生結弦や荒川静香、高橋大輔、織田信成、宮原知子など国内トップスケーターのほか、さまざまなアイスショーの振り付けも行い、テレビなどでも解説を行っている。

 

Kenji Miyamoto was born on 6 November 1978 in Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture. After retiring in 2006, he became a choreographer. Not only has he choreographed for Japan's top skaters such as Yuzuru Hanyu, Shizuka Arakawa, Daisuke Takahashi, Nobunari Oda and Satoko Miyahara, but also for various ice shows, and he also commentates on TV and other media.

I would really appreciate if the acc mentioned where in this Q&A a question is asked or a comment is made about nikkan. I just went through it to try my hand at translating the 2 questions made about Yuzu's statement of determination, and if the mayor has commented about it anywhere else (on video or written) I would like to know, because is not on the page linked. I know some japanese personalities have, but haven't found it from the Sendai mayor. 

 

Anyway. Here is the japanese transcript for anyone to try their hand as well:

羽生選手のプロ転向について

 

Q9. 昨日、羽生選手がプロ転向を会見を開いて決断したということですけれども、これについて市長のご所感をお聞きしたいのと、改めて何か表彰ですとか、例えば今後のプロとしての活動への支援みたいなものを何か新しく考えているのかどうかというところについて教えてください。

 

A9. 昨日の(羽生選手の)会見を受けてコメントを出させていただいたところです。羽生結弦さん、あれほど人々の心を揺さぶるアスリートというのはなかなかいらっしゃらないと思いますし、技術的なことも、それからまた芸術的なことも、そして何よりも人としての魅力というのでしょうか、放つ光というのでしょうか、こういうものを備えた方で、戦いの場からは去るということですけれども、しかし、まだチャレンジをして現役でプロとしてのアスリートの本領を発揮したいという、そういう強い思いを話されたこと、これからも引き続き応援してまいりたいと思っています。

 

Q10. 6月定例会でも泉(区)のアイスリンクについてのギャラリー整備の話も後押ししてはどうかという話ですとか、2月か3月の議会でもアイスリンクの整備についての質問ですとか、議会でもそういった声もあります。仙台市として現状、設備とかそういったものにとどまらず、何か羽生さんのこれまでの活動を顕彰、表彰するようなものというのは今現在考えているものはありますか。

 

A10. 先ほどの質問で何か表彰も考えているのかというところも答えが漏れてしまいましたけれども、今、改めてのご質問にもございました。その点については、今後のさまざまな状況を総合的に勘案した上で、何ができるのか、あるいはどうなのかということを考えていきたいと思います。それから施設整備についてですけれども、これも費用ですとか運営の在り方ですとか、さまざまな課題もあるわけでして、これも総合的に見ていかなくてはいけないだろうと思っています。

羽生さん自身の昨日の会見でも、今後はプロとして活動するという熱い思いを語っておられました。また、4回転半、クワッドアクセルについても挑戦をし続けるということで、ぜひ皆さんに成功した姿を見せたいというようなその気持ちもにじんだ会見だったというふうに認識をしております。その舞台となるものがどこでどういうふうに羽生さんご自身の中でお考えになっていらっしゃるのか、それもどういう状況であるのか、まだその辺については語ってはおられなかったので、もしお話を伺える機会があるならばいろいろとお聞きしたいなとは思います。

 

deepL translation with little tweaks from myself:

Hanyu turning professional / pro. 

 

Q9. Yesterday, Hanyu held a press conference to announce his decision to turn professional / pro. I would like to know what the mayor thinks about this, and if there are any new plans for awards or support for his future activities as a professional.

 

A9. I just had a chance to comment on yesterday's (Yuzuru Hanyu's) press conference. Yuzuru Hanyu, I think it is rare to find an athlete who can move people's hearts so much, and he is a person with technical skills, artistic skills, and above all, a person who has such charm and light as a human being. Although he is leaving the arena of competition, I would like to continue to support him because of his strong desire to continue to challenge and demonstrate his true potential as a professional athlete.

 

Q10. At the regular meeting in June, there was also a question about the development of an ice rink gallery in Izumi Ward, and at the assembly meeting in February or March, there was also a question about the development of an ice rink. Is there anything that Sendai City is currently thinking of to honor or commend Mr. Hanyu's past activities, beyond the current facilities and such?

 

A10. I also omitted to answer your earlier question about whether we are also considering some kind of commendation, but you have just asked again. We will consider what we can do or not do in this regard after comprehensively taking into account various circumstances in the future. Regarding the maintenance of facilities, there are various issues to be considered, such as the cost and management of the facilities, and we will have to look at these issues comprehensively.

 

At yesterday's press conference, Mr. Hanyu himself expressed his passionate desire to become a professional skater in the future. He also said that he will continue to challenge quad Axel, and he would like to show his success to everyone. I would like to hear more about the stage where he is going to compete, and "what kind of situation you are in, if you have a chance to talk to us" - this part is as if he is talking directly to Yuzu.

フィギュアスケート男子で五輪2連覇を達成した羽生結弦さん(27)のスケート人生に、振付師の宮本賢二氏(43)も数多くの中の一人としてかかわってきた。2回目は、2015~16シーズンのエキシビション、「天と地のレクイエム」の振り付けを担当したときの思いや、プロスケーターとなる今後への期待などを尋ねた。

 

Choreographer Kenji Miyamoto (43) is one of the many people involved in the skating life of Yuzuru Hanyu (27), who has won two consecutive Olympic titles in men's figure skating. In the second part of this interview, we asked him about his thoughts when he choreographed the 2015-16 season's exhibition programme, 'Requiem for Heaven and Earth', and his expectations for his future as a professional skater.

 

 

-2015-16シーズンのエキシビション、ヒーリングピアニストの松尾泰伸氏が東日本大震災の鎮魂曲として完成させた「天と地のレクイエム」も印象的だったのでは。

「1回目に決めてしまうのもどうかな、と思い、羽生君に3~4曲を送ったのですが『1回聴いて、この曲でお願いします』と。曲の雰囲気と、そのときの心情だったとは思うんですけど、思いが合致したのかもしれません」

 

Q: The exhibition programme for the 2015-16 season, "Requiem of Heaven and Earth," composed by the Japanese healing pianist Yasunobu Matsuo, was also impressive.

KM: I sent three or four songs to Hanyu-kun, thinking that it was better to not make a decision right away, but he replied, "I have listened to the songs once, please let us use this one". I think it was the atmosphere of the song and his feelings at that time, but maybe our ideas fitted together.

 

 

-どういう思いで滑ってほしかったのか。

「あまり大震災の話はしたくはなかったんですけど、やはりそこからつながっているものはありまして。『奇跡の一本松』(※)の話をしました。“大変なことばかりだけど、あなたはやっぱり力強くいてほしい”という思いでした。今思い出しても泣きそうになってしまうんですけど…。『つらいことはあるけど、前に進んでほしい』と。ほぼしゃべらずに振り付けていきました。すごく印象に残っています」

 

Q: What kind of ideas did you want him to skate with?

KM: I didn't want to talk too much about the earthquake, but there were still many connections to it. We talked about 'The One Miracle Pine Tree' *. I wanted to say, "I know it's tough, but I want you to stay strong." Even now, thinking back on it, I feel like crying... The song is about 'It may be hard, but keep moving forward'. The choreography was done almost without speaking. It left a very strong impression on me.

 

 

-宮本さんの目に、演技はどのように映っていたのか。

「人間として強く、一歩でも前へということが見えると思っています。一つのプログラムで、つらいこともあったけど最後は上を向いて、という感じに見えたと思うのですが」

 

Q: How did his performance look in your eyes, Miyamoto-san?

KM: I think it shows that we are strong as human beings and that we can move forward, even if it's just one step. I think in this specific programme, I saw him going through a tough time, but at the end, he was looking up.

 

 

-宮本さんは数々のアイスショーも手がけている。ここでもかかわったことが多いのでは。

「私は全体の振り付けをするのですが、羽生君が一番張り切ってやってくれるんです。はっきりとした声で『ここはこうした方がいいですか?』とか『こっちに動いたらいいですか?』とか。ものすごく率先してやってくれます。後輩たちがいくら疲れていても“羽生君があれだけやっているんだから、みんなやらな”という良い雰囲気になるんです。すごくスムーズに進むんです。毎回彼に『君がすごく張り切ってやってくれるから、みんなも付いてきてくれる。すごく助かっている』と言うんですけど、『いやいや、僕は普通にやっているだけですよ』とにこやかに言うんです。『そうやな。ありがとう』っていつも言います」

 

Q: You have also worked in many ice shows, Miyamoto-san. You have often been involved with him here as well.

KM: I am responsible for the overall choreography, and Hanyu-kun is more enthusiastic than anyone else. He clearly asks, "Should I do it this way?", or "Can I move in this direction?" He takes a huge amount of initiative. Even if the younger skaters are tired, there is a good atmosphere of 'Hanyu-kun is doing so much, so everyone has to give it their best'. So things go very smoothly. Every time I tell him, "Because you are working so hard, everyone is following you", but he smiles and says, "No, no, I am just doing what I normally do". And I always say, "Yes, you're right. Thank you".

 

 

-アイスショーでも常に一生懸命に取り組んでいると。

「いつもにこにこしているけど、スイッチが入った瞬間、自分の演技に集中して、完璧以上のものを求めるんです。ずっと集中して、精神力がすごいな、と思いながら見ていました。ジャンプ一つ、4回転を飛ぶためにずっとウオーミングアップをして、イメージトレーニングをしているんです。みんな、本当にすごいという話をしていました」

 

Q: You said he always works very hard in ice shows.

KM: He's always smiling, but as soon as he switches on, he's so focused on his performance that he wants more than perfection. I saw how focused he was the whole time, and I thought his mental strength was amazing. For every jump, every quad, he is warming up and doing image training all the time. Everyone was talking about how amazing he really was.

 

 

-今後プロスケーターとして歩んでいくが、期待していることは。

「競技会はルールがあって、その中で点数を求めていくじゃないですか。プロスケーターになったということで、競技会のルールがなくなって、例えば跳びたいジャンプをいくらでも跳べる。そういう、自由になった部分も多いと思います。4回転アクセルをやると言っていますし、楽しみで仕方がないですね」(おわり)

 

Q: He will now be a professional skater, what are your expectations of him?

KM: In competitions, there are rules and you have to get points within those rules. Now that he is a professional skater, the rules of competitions are no longer there, and he can do as many jumps as he wants, for example. He says he's going to do a quadruple Axel, so I am really looking forward to it.

※奇跡の一本松 2011年3月11日に発生した東日本大震災で、岩手県陸前高田市にある高田松原の松の木は津波によりほとんどが流されたものの、約7万本とされる中、唯一耐え残った。高さ約27・5メートル、樹齢約170年と言われる。枯死が確認されたものの、復興の象徴として後世に受け継ぐため、人工的な処理を加えてモニュメントとして保存されている。

 

* 'The One Miracle Pine Tree'

In the aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake of 11 March 2011: Most of the pine trees in Takada Matsubara in Rikuzentakata City, Iwate Prefecture, were swept away by the tsunami, but this was the only pine tree out of an estimated 70,000 that remained standing. It is said to be 27.5 metres high and about 170 years old. Although it was found to be dead, it has been protected as a monument with artificial treatment in order to pass it on to future generations as a symbol of recovery.

I mean, I didn't exactly focus on the takeoff live cuz it was reported like that

I actually can't count rotations tho, especially not Yuzuru's, with his triples being big and his quads looking way too relaxed&easy😆😆😆 

https://twitter.com/TENCHI4A/status/1553247709481639936?s=20&t=RQKVjUG0Rhmgc0T7SIia_g

for accuracy sake, it wouldn't count as competition sequence, not under current rules, nor previous, but still so impressive? Change of edge,  3turns...maybe a mohawk? Or just a hop?

TRANSLATION OF YUZU'S PRESS CONFERENCE

While we wait for better translations of Yuzu's press conference of July 19, I did a quick machine translation with DeepL. Thankfully, the Asahi Shimbun Globe posted a full transcription of the press conference in Japansese, so I just copy/paste. Please read with some creativity as machine translations can be weird. I saved the translation, the full video conference, and the translations done by fans so far here:

Edit: Also, I remember someone asking about if Yuzu really did say he preferred performing in ice shows, and when, so I guess someone found a interview from 2013:

 

https://twitter.com/marika_yuzu/status/1553566564267741184?s=21&t=asZ_d7KD3Fu5UaL-8AgURA

Since young is not that he “preferred” but he always acknowledged that he could perform freely on those. On competitions he was there to win, I believe it was a mindset thing.

According to some tweets from Japanese fanyus that have read Number magazine latest issue, the one where there’s an interview with Brian Orser, Yuzu DID contact his coaches about his decision before the presscon:

If anyone manages to share the interview! LOL 

 

How interesting, so according to Brian, him, Tracy, probably Ghislain (and maybe his japanese coaches?) were quite aware of what was going to happen in the coming days. Very sweet of everyone involved to keep quiet about it, and the interview seems to speak highly of Yuzu‘s character as well.
