43. For not only inspiring other figure skaters, but inspiring everyone who watchs him, by his unwavering determination, and undoubtedly beautiful convictions. I’ve always been afraid to put myself out there, but after coming to know him, how he never wavers (maybe he does or did I don’t know), but I’ve seen him being strong and brave when I don’t know I would’ve been. So much love to yuzu.

 

p.s I think there are more than 100 reasons to love him ❤️

So we keep going!!

 

44. For his delayed single axel and other beautiful, clearly learned from the history he has studied and loves, touches (honestly, I could watch that single axel for hours...)

45. His playfulness. 

46. His easy leaping, over barriers, and onto podiums. Even on crutches.

47. His enjoyment of posing for photos with friends.

48. His deadly serious laser focus.

49. His clarity to express authentically, moment to true moment, as he feels.

50. The uniqueness he embodies, of having done what he does best, and loves most, since he was four. 

 

 

 

51. I love him for appreciating retired skaters as well as competing ones and for studying the history of the sport....

52. For his unabashed lip-synching, and introducing us to his playlist. 

53. His flawless skin!

54. His cute almond shaped eyes, single eyelids

55. LGC /Origin hair

56. His chaotic, demonic yet cute kuyashii power

for being an 'original'....for never losing his compassion, empathy and kindness...his humanity, despite being a megastar, Supernova!

 

58. For being able to grab everyone’s attention and not let it go until he finishes. 

59. For murderface.

60. For the lifts at galas.

61. His dependable 3A that saved him many time (we going to pretend that Rostelecom didn’t happen) 

62. For Manner Hands.  

63. For being the kaleidoscope he is every time he performs, conveying so much passion and emotions, allowing each one of us into his world and at the same time inviting us to find out our own interpretation/unleash our own emotions. 

 

64. For the loveliness of his names. 'Yuzuru Hanyu' is a really enjoyable name to say. 

And for the way some announcers feast on the prolonged, triumphant, introduction version : ...."Yuuuuuzerrruuuuuu! .......HannnnYuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!"

 

65. For the giggles all those wrong names bring. 

 

66. For the thrill of anticipation that hearing the lovely name announced in a rink brings. (see 63).

67. For UA and showing that practice gear (and OP sessions) can attract audiences too 😊
