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

[totally missed the next question oops] first, after thinking calmly about my performances. honestly i'm really satisfied with my sp. i did make a mistake on the first jump and there was some trouble, but it wasn't an actual mistake. it happens. but i was able to express without
85
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

Q: during the disaster in 2011, something about someone who helped him in kanazawa??
