there's a segment playing on JPN TV right now of yuzu doing commentary on tenchi and it was pointed out that he didn't miss the 3A in all three of his Olympics. he said he's really thankful to it, and the fact that it protected him
80
watching the fight that he showed through the entire program after the first jump, the concentration on the combo and the axel and dedication to expressing each beat of a ridiculously complex program will stay with me ;;

Account from Takagi-san - they had planned for 1min for photo taking but there was only 30s left (Y: Yaguchi, sorry!). The chair had been set up beside them and Yuzu pretty much teleported to the seat and struck the pose and Yaguchi-san took the photo, all in 30s 😱 twitter.com/megdale1021/st…

Yuzu says the most "this is Yuzuru Hanyu!" performance for him was Hope & Legacy at Worlds 2017. It was the skate that gave him the confidence that 'ah, I had this kind of power in myself, I could do this thing" 💙
84
'are you stepping down from the challenger's stage?'
'on the contrary, I think instead of stepping down from the challenger's stage, I'm stepping up into a new stage'
85
'For the first time, I think I was able to properly skate the complete form of this program I had in my head. I was also incredibly scared. It was one program I couldn't to take the plunge on [to revisit], but I finally overcame it & I can think I'm able to move forward.' (1/2)

this is a Yuzuru Hanyu spin appreciation tweet because his spins, especially his camel and sit spins are so slept on youtu.be/Xu2uz13jyS0

ohhh new banner and logo for Yuzuru's youtube and of course it's baby blue 💙 youtube.com/channel/UChXVX…

Apparently this is Yuzuru's ema from this year at Sendai's Akiu Shrine. Wish: 'To become the 'myself' that is the 4A. To be able to hear my 9yr old self say: 'that was good' 🙏✨ twitter.com/basilmijin/sta…

Y: I don't like the word retire and I don't like to use it much. In an interview when I was 16-17, I was asked 'what happens when you win 2 Olympics', I said 'it's the start from there', and I think I'm there now
94
wow I have chills, Tokyo Dome is the literal dream of any artist or performer, the first Dome tour is literally a milestone -- the capacity is 55-57k ;; He does this not even a year after turning pro, I'm so so proud of Yuzuru, it is everything he deserves ;;;
95
英訳 - 'Prologue's Yokohama leg has finished safely. Truly, thank you everyone for your support. I will prepare my condition properly for Hachinohe and work hard to deliver the best performance. But firstly, thank you truly for your support these two days in Yokohama.' (1/2) twitter.com/YUZURUofficial…

On the 4A - It's something like the source of my passion within figure skating, so I hope to be able to keep aiming for it.
98
Sorry, I'm missing everything but that means he's retiring as a competitive skater and continuing as a pro skater

Thank you Hochi - "Hanyu has many fans all over the world. In this too, he has valued conveying things in his own words. This time too, he will surely put his thoughts & feelings into each and every word [...] above all, what should be respected is Hanyu's decisions & words." twitter.com/figure_hochi/s…
