I'm happy for him that he seems to have found something he likes. Can't say I'm exactly a fan, and I've not watched the solo shows. But he's rightly a legend, and the word "clownshow" comes more and more to mind with the "top level skating" nowadays. At least I'll be happy for retired skaters that they're not a part of it anymore lol.

I am happy for him and myself because I can now ignore competition in peace and focus all my attention on him. I went to Japan to watch his Yokohama show and, his skating aside, it is one of the best ice shows I have ever attended.

Yuzuru Hanyu ICE STORY 2023 “GIFT” at Tokyo Dome 永久保存版 DVD・Blu-ray発売決定！ あの感動を、再び。2024年8月20日（火）発売！！ │ News │ 「GIFT」 at Tokyo Dome
Yuzuru Hanyu‘s first-ever solo ice show at Tokyo Dome “GIFT” will be held on February 26, 2023. See the website for details!
I hope some fans will record the show and share the recording. Lots of interesting stuff were shared and I am very grateful to TV Asahi for broadcasting the program. Or, perhaps he will include the broadcast when he released the DVD?
Yuzu's practicing during the intermission alone is quite mindblowing to me. I always think he gets some rest in between.
He's not joking when he said he trained even harder during his pro era.LGeorgin shared some snippets and translations:
Sun_Set also shared some clips
News Every excerpt on Notte Stellata, the collaboration with Mao Daichi, and choreographing Carmina Burana with Shae-Lynn Bourne via zoom - along with the nearly complete Carmina Burana.
Nice seeing both Yuzu and Mao happy with their performance and their collaboration.

Photo exhibition "In Focus: Yuzuru Hanyu Lensed by Jiro Konami" featuring professional figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu, who serves as Gucci's brand ambassador, will be held at the Gucci Ginza Gallery in Tokyo from the 22nd.
The photographer Jiro Konami adds a different pic for the exhibition! It's a cat Yuzu.

I was watching Shoma's Loco because of his retirement, and of course, I stumbled on this video on the recommended:
Still the best men's figure skate ever. You can start a "slay count" for the next decade
Lucky Yuzu's top competition was at a disadvantage; ONO due to his mutual respect for his teammate & the recklessness of Patrick Chan who had him beat if he had just stayed on his feet during normal jumping passes or footwork! I was so shocked when Hanyu missed a couple quads early only to have Patrick assist in choking away his opportunity to win at the Olympics & Worlds!
What does this mean?

Any athlete can have too much respect or reverence for other competitors! Heaven knows someone like Sasha Cohen was more gifted as a figure skating ballerina, but she had trouble beating Michelle Kwan! Same w/ Tara Lipinski, but she overcame those nerves 3 times to take 1 US Nat'l, a World, & a GPF before retiring at 16 years old! Uno is Yuzu's junior and somehow the "older brother" or "sister" always seems to win! JMHO!

His name's Uno, and for this to at all be true, he'd have to have never beaten Hanyu. Yet he did...Any athlete can have too much respect or reverence for other competitors!

Anyway, it doesn't matter how "well" Uno would have skated at those worlds without this "handicap”. Despite the missing combo in the SP, Hanyu deserved that title. That would hold even if Uno had been fully clean at worlds, in my books.
The thing I love the most from this program is not the clean performance or the way Yuzu performed it, but the way Yuzu and his team cut and weave the two songs together into the amazing song known as Hope and Legacy.I was watching Shoma's Loco because of his retirement, and of course, I stumbled on this video on the recommended:

I wish more skaters have that skill.
I actually do agree that this is a beautiful music edit! One of my favourites ever in figure skating, and a very memorable one.

Yuzuru's new interview with Quadruple Axel. The interview timing is after Notte Stellata (11 March 2024):
He compared his solo ice show performances with the marathon and relay run.
He's discussing the differences between his competition days vs professional days performances.
More detailed information on RE_PRAY show.
An interesting interview.
There's also an interview with MIKIKO (Director for GIFT and RE_PRAY). They have quite a similar idealism, so it is not surprising they can work together so well.
