‘Aoi Hono’ (Blue Flame) and ‘Aoi Hono 2′ are Yuzuru Hanyu’s autobiographies (they consist almost entirely of Yuzuru’s own words from long interviews).  (Also romanised as ‘Aoi Honoo’). 

‘Yuzuru Method’ is a biography written by sports journalist Yoshie Noguchi. 

‘Aoi Hono’ was published in April 2012 and Nonchan1023 has done a full translation.  See HERE for her instructions on how to get it.

‘Yuzuru Method’ was published in March 2016 and ‘Aoi Hono 2′ in July 2016.  I shared or translated some parts last year as I read the books. (They saved me during the terribly long off-season of 2016.)  Below are the links to my posts.  For new fans, I suggest you read them in this order (chronological).  Enjoy!

My posts on ‘Yuzuru Method’:

Content page and publisher’s note

1) Childhood to 14 years old  (Junior national champ)

2) 14 to 15 years old  (Junior World champ)

3) 15 to 16 years old  (Senior debut)

4) 16 years old  (2011 earthquake)

[This was all I did on ‘Yuzuru Method’ because ‘Aoi Hono 2′ was published then and I started to read and post about that.]

My posts on ‘Aoi Hono 2′:

Publisher’s note and meaning behind name 

Scene 0: Prologue  (2011 off-season)

Scene 1:  Worlds 2012  (17 years old)

Scene 2:  2012 off-season (Moving to Canada) 

Scene 3+4:  2012-13 season (1st win at nationals + Worlds 2013)

Scene 5-8: 2013-2014 (Olympic season)   [i didn’t translate this part] 

Scene 9: 2014 off-season (his very 1st quad loop)

Scene 10: 2014-15 season (Cup of China)

Scene 10: 2014-15 season (After CoC to nationals; urachus surgery)

Scene 11-13:  2015-2016  [didn’t translate this part]

Scene 14: Worlds 2016  (lisfranc ligament injury) 

Scene 15: epilogue  [didn’t translate this]

(Words in brackets are my own notes)

Please NOTE:  My posts are NOT proper translations; just sharing parts of what I read with fellow Yuzu-fans. (There are no official translations for his books, as far as I know.)   

If you want to buy one or two of the books, I highly recommend his autobiographies ‘Aoi Hono’ 1 or 2.  They are very beautifully made and you will also be helping Yuzuru’s beloved home rink.  (Yuzu donates all royalties from the books to Ice Rink Sendai.  The publisher ‘Fusosha’ also donates part of the revenue from the sales.) (Plus you can get Nonchan’s translation if you buy the 1st one, so get BOTH if you can.) ^^  See here for links to buy online.

English subs, hurray! Omg, stop this boy. I try so hard not to ship real people okay, but a fujoshi is a fujoshi. So Yuzu pls, can you effing not and just leave me to my principles. *crying*

But lol at Japanese TV shows! Honestly, the things they feature. Team Japan is too cute, though. What can I call this anyway - bromance? Nope. Sempai/kohai-mance? (Lol, if I see another “notice me, sempai” joke, I’ll just flip.) Really though, they are all such sweethearts and they are too pure for my poor heart. Keep working hard, guys! I want Shoma at Yuzu’s right-hand side next time! ♡

Also, English subs! We really don’t get them enough. Thank you to whoever translated this!

51st TV Asahi Big Sports Award was held in Tokyo on 13th January 2017. Yuzuru Hanyu who was absent from Japan nationals, was at his training base in Toronto, said ANA’s manager, Ms. Noriko Shirota.

On December 15 last year, he had influenza. Complicated with pharyngitis, he could not move for almost a week before he recovered. He spent the new year period in Japan, and then went to Toronto on the 7th to prepare for 4CC (February 16-19). Regarding his absence at the Japanese nationals that could have been his 5th straight victory, Ms Shirota said, “(We) don’t look back at the past. (Our) feelings are looking ahead to 4CC. He will do good practices and will be able to make improvements towards 4CC.” He is with his choreographer Shae-Lynn Bourne, to confirm some detailed movements such as entries to jumps.

Hanyu, who was absent from the awards ceremony, gave a video message. He said, “I’d like to work hard and aim towards the 5th consecutive GPF victory.” [my translation from: headlines.yahoo]

He also said, “I am very honoured to receive the Big Sports Award again this year.” [his words in the pic above, taken from the video message, source]
