many ppl who will keep supportin gme. during pc when i was feeling a bit crushed and said things about my efforts not being rewarded, ppl still cheered me on. so i always feel that 'yuzuru hanyu' is a heavy existence
77
q: ???
a: i want to continue always challenging something. it's hard for me to draw the line between being a competing athlete and pro athlete, and i don't mean for things to change drastically. from now on as an athlete, i want to keep doing my best and of course land the 4a
78
q: are you thinking of doing shows or anything specific?
a: i'm thinking about things and starting to talk with others about it. i am trying to put multiple things into motion, but as for naming specifics, i'm still unsure of things or if they will even happen
79
here on out. about when i thought about becoming a pro skater, i thought about it every comp. after pyeongchang, every competition, i thought about many things, like if i had chosen the wrong path or wasn't trying hard enough. in the end, i made the final decision after beijing
80
for a figure skater, they would stop competing at around this age and stop improviing, ppl say this is around 23 for us. but i won pc at that age and even now i feel that i was able to improve a lot with my jumps. so after that i was able to understand and now feel that im
81
q: when did you make this decision + what was the biggest factor?
a: there were many places i thought about stopping as a competing athlete and becoming a pro athlete, and starting towards a new step. not in a negative meaning like 'retiring' ..... this is the start from
82
i don't think there's anything special about me. bc of the fact that there are so many ppl supporting me, i was able to come here. even if there were only 10 ppl supporting me, i'd feel full from just that. [missed some stuff] i want to keep giving performances that are
83
Without forgetting the frustration you may feel from being powerless and [your hard work] being for nothing, I'd like you to live in the present in a way that will allow you to say with certainty that it wasn't all for nothing. (4/4)
84
i strongly feel that i want to share [the 4a] with everyone and land it in front of ppl

Yuzuru noticed a big hole in the ice during the opening, so after the op and the lights went dark, they announced they would be pausing to check the ice. It was still dark so we couldn't tell who came out at first, but they turned the lights back on and it was the man himself
87
q: about always challenging
a: i think it's bc i'm an athlete. i've never been satisfied with my current situation and always thought i want to improve. whether it's jumps or interpretation of the music, it's always been fun to try to improve and that's why i can continue skating
88
q: anything you want to say to your fans
a: it's hard to say it in one sentence, but it's bc ppl supported me that i am speaking here now and have skated until now and want to keep skating
89
also it's disgusting that they're pretending this decision is to protect minors but in reality they're allowing the abusers who cause said minors unimaginable damage to stay on their pedestal

"so who's won a gold medal in men's singles at the past 2 olympics"
91
I think this was the setlist in order #プロローグ
92
yuzuru noticed his necklace about to fall off right before 3a in his runthrough, grabbed it, landed a beautiful 3a and then fixed it afterwards
93
He gestured at the spot on the ice and mimed the way he tripped on his 4T in the opening and then started jamming to the music and encouraging us to clap LOL. Highlights include everyone going WOOOOOO when he slid his jacket off his shoulders and then did a knee slide

News Watcher 9: "Single-mindedly continuing to chase my dream, destroying my body and putting various things at stake – that’s how far I went to try to grasp onto it the past 4 years. (cont)
95
and how are any of the clean skaters supposed to look at what they put out on the ice versus what the sambo girls did and accept these scores, these results. isu is telling them they don't matter at all compared to their agenda. rot in hell. #figureskatingisdead
96
Q: if you weren't yuzuru hanyu, would you want to be friends with yuzuru hanyu
A: I might not bc I'm self-centered (from the new p&g interview)
