100 (and counting!) Reasons To Love Yuzuru Hanyu

[MagicFS]

19. The way he allows us to witness and share his emotions at the end of his performances. That raw openness which makes us feel that we are part of his story too. 

20. How he weaves on the ice stories and emotions so beautiful that he literally makes us cry. To the tips of his fingers, inside and out, everything about Yuzuru is so beautiful--in such pure, overwhelming, and inspiring way.

21. For crying, often and openly.

22. For "Why am I crying?" and "I'm not crying."

 

[Sammie]

23. His smile. Sincere and genuine. From his big grin to his smirk to his UWU cat smile 

[TallyT]

24. The nose scrunch

 

(come on it has to be in there!!!)

[ruruzest]

27. The Purple Pants of Sin.

28. Having the *cough* gumption to actually wear the Purple Pants of Sin.

30. How his programs are a collaborative effort between him, the choreographers , and the costume designer. Always well thought out and always evolving.

31. His アホ毛 (antenna). It could be a sign that he's really an alien...

[hunny]

32. How funny, 31 - I came to say: his antennae!

So, now, I'll say: all the rest of his glorious shape-shifting hair.

33. Inspired by 31 &32. Spin hair. Esp. Bb mushroom spin hair. 

[PoohandYuzu]

34.  For his great ambition and bravery to think big and say it aloud since he was only a mushroom primary student, will it and make it happen... to win olymptic ... and twice 

 

35.  For his gratitude towards his mom and his family’s love, care and sacrifices, as well as all current and former coaches for training and guiding him, all the way along

 

36.  For his low-key when off the ice (just making Fanyu’s lives difficult though), when making donations continually quietly ...

 

37.  For his great music choices, esp H&L and Seimei, introducing japanese music and culture to the international stage

 

38.  For being an ideal role model for national education, showing sincerity and respect to his own country’s flag and song

 

39.  For his silent power to move ppl and give ppl comfort when watching his performance,  and to motivate ppl not to give up at difficult and all times

41. For daring to wear what he wears in his programs....

[Lunna]

42. For musicality till the tips of his fingertips (the first thing I fell in love with), for not skating to the music, but being the music himself.
