[2024.07.19-2024.07.21] Yuzuru Hanyu: Interview two years after turning professional (Hochi)

Figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu (29), who marked two years since announcing his decision to turn pro on the 19th, agreed to an interview. He spoke at length about his two years as a professional, his present and the future, his fateful encounter with a program, and the "ideal" he is pursuing. We will be publishing Hanyu's words, who continues to evolve as an athlete and artist, for three consecutive days. The second and final instalment are a stand-alone interview. (Interviewer: Takagi Megumi)

Part 1:

Hanyu-san appeared dashingly at the studio in Sendai. As soon as he arrived, he started the interview by saying "Thank you." His quick thinking and agility were as good as ever. His black jersey looked good on him as always.

"Honestly, my first year as a professional was a bit of a trial-and-error state; I was constantly thinking about whether I should do this, whether I should do that, what I should do. But this (second year) has been a year in which I have clearly understood what I want to express, and what I want to do as a professional."

Though he was thoughtful at times and carefully choosing his words, he was smiling throughout the interview. Looking back on the past two years, his expression showed how contented he has become as a professional.

It all started with a one-man show “Prologue”. “GIFT,” the first solo Tokyo Dome performance by a skater in history, lasted two and a half hours in which he skated alone. In "RE_PRAY", the second instalment of the ice story following "GIFT", he took on his first national tour.

"In the second year, with 'RE_PRAY', the ice story was completely formed. I think the big thing about the second year was that I was able to properly establish what pieces existed in the story and what kind of story I wanted to tell."

He wrote the story himself, served as executive producer, and performed "Ice Story" by himself. With "RE_PRAY," he created a new form of entertainment that combines gaming and skating.

"It's the same when I choreograph various programs, but I think that the essence of what I want to express is always the idea of 'living' and the constant presence of something like a 'prayer' towards 'living'."

He has changed the concept of a professional skater. He can perform quadruple jumps and perform programs in a variety of genres. His evolution as an athlete and an artist continues in his third season.

"I have finally established the foundation for what I want to do, so as an extension of that, I am wondering how I can improve my skills in terms of expression. In order to convey myself, I believe that I cannot improve my level unless I have a strong technical foundation, as I have always said since my competitive days. I feel that my third year will be a time when I will be working on improving both my technique and my physical strength."

He will be turning 30 in December. He says that his present life is different from the future he envisioned as a teenager. He was supposed to have turned professional after the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics and retire from skating in his 20s.

"The way my stamina and technique have developed is completely different from what I had imagined, but it gives me a real sense of how much more I can achieve, and a sense of great potential for the future. I now feel that humans can achieve much more than I had thought."

He won consecutive Olympic gold medals in Pyeongchang and after his third Olympic Games in Beijing, he turned professional. He had an incredibly intense 20s. What will his 30s be like? "Nothing in particular has changed," he continued, tilting his head.

"While still cherishing who I am, I think that showing my skills and facing skating are a big part of what makes me happy. I want to always have within myself a reason for my existence, a meaning to the past 30 years for everyone. It's not just because my fans watch me, or because skating is all I have, but I want to create more clearly within myself the core of my life in my 30s."

Skating with soul. "Pursuing the ideal," he wrote on his coloured paper. The story of professional skater Yuzuru Hanyu has just begun.

-What have the past two years been like since you turned professional?

"As an athlete, I have really thought about many things in a stoic way up until now. Of course, this is true in terms of technique, but I think I have always been thinking about victory in particular. To be honest, in my first year as a professional, I was feeling my way around; I spent the whole year constantly thinking about whether I should do this, whether I should do that, what I should do. I think this (second year) has been the year in which I have clearly understood what I want to express, and what I want to do as a professional."

-What have you come to understand clearly?

"In the first year, I had 'Prologue,' and I was feeling my way around whether I could skate solo. I was also working on 'GIFT' at the same time. At the time, I wanted to write my own story, and I wanted the audience to experience how the programs they had seen up until then would change as they watched them. This was something I had vaguely thought about since my competitive days. I was able to make this a reality in my first year. In my second year, I had 'RE_PRAY,' and I felt like I had completely formed the ice story. It wasn't just about trying to figure out how to skate by myself or changing perspectives by putting what I wanted to express into a story. I think the big thing about my second year was that I was able to properly establish that this story has these pieces, and that this is the story I would like to convey."

-What kind of year will your third year be?

"I have finally established a foundation for what I want to do, so as an extension of that, I am wondering how I can improve my skills in terms of expression. As for conveying myself, I have always said since my competitive days that I can't improve my level without having strong technique as a foundation. I feel that my third year will be a time when I will be working on improving both my technique and my physical strength."

-Memories from the past two years?

"There are a lot, of course. I can't really say just one, but I've had so many different, precious experiences. Most recently, the completion of "RE_PRAY". I had that feeling that it was received well. I'm currently in the middle of the production process (laughs). It's my motivation to keep working hard, it's my driving force."

-Are you currently working on any new projects?

"I've been creating new programs and other things. I've started digging deeper into what I want to express. Because I've been working alone for so long, the emotions that come out of me tend to be biased. My ideas haven't fundamentally changed that much, so my repertoire hasn't expanded that much. But I do feel that my experiences with 'RE_PRAY' and other such things are the driving force behind the birth of new emotions and new expressions."

-Will Ice Story continue to create themes by asking itself these questions? 　

"Whether it was when I was creating 'RE_PRAY,' or when I was choreographing programs like 'Goliath,' 'Aqua,' and others, I think that at the core of what I want to express is the idea of 'living,' and the constant presence of something like a 'prayer' towards 'living.' So, what I want to convey on top of that and what I want to dig deeper into may affect the way I present myself depending on the program at hand."

-You'll be turning 30 in December. How does it compare to how you imagined your 30 would be?

"When I was 18 or 16, to be honest, I imagined I probably wouldn't be skating anymore by 30 (laughs). I would turn professional at 24 immediately after the Pyeongchang Olympics, and I thought I'd be active for about five years and then be done with skating. But the way I've developed my stamina and technique is completely different from what I imagined, and I feel a real sense of realization that I can still do so much, and a great sense of possibility for the future. Right now, I feel that humans can still do much more than I thought."

-What kind of person do you want to be in your 30s?

"Nothing has changed in particular. However, the more I polish my way of expression and the more time I spend constantly practicing and facing myself, the stronger my sense of self is becoming, and I feel like my foundation is becoming more and more established. In this way, I will continue to cherish myself in my 30s. But I think that showing my skills and facing skating is a big part of what makes me happy. I want to always have a reason for my existence, a reason for living for the past 30 years. Not just because my fans watch me, or because skating is all I have, but I want to create a clearer core for myself in my 30s."

Part 2:

It has been two years since figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu (29) announced his professional debut on the 19th. In the second part, he spoke to Sports Hochi in an exclusive interview about his "fateful encounter" with a certain program. (Interviewer: Megumi Takagi)

-Does time pass differently now compared to when you were an athlete?

"When I was a competing athlete, I could just keep thinking about things like building my physique or practicing skating. But when I'm creating something or choreographing a program or doing things like that, I don't have time to just practice. So, I thought, 'I won’t be able to practice during this period, so I'll just try to maintain it’, or ‘I'll try to keep it to a certain level, and since I'm currently in the production period, it can't be helped if I cut down on sleep.' I want to provide something good, and when I think about all sorts of things, I can't sleep. To begin with, I'm the kind of person who tends to live an unhealthy lifestyle (laughs). I know I should sleep more for my skating, or eat more of this or that, but it just keeps falling apart."

-How much sleep do you get?

"It depends on the day. If I feel like I can't take it anymore, sometimes I'll sleep for eight or nine hours straight, and sometimes I fall asleep without realising it. On the other hand, there are also days when I'm awake all day. It's normal to stay up all night even though there's no need to. But it's at times like those that stories are born. It's hard to put into words. It's not that different from writing lyrics or composing music. I guess that's just how it is. I've accepted it and thought that this is just my style." 　

-During the rehearsals for "Notte Stellata" in March, you said you were "nervous about the new program."

"Of course, I felt nervous about performing it in front of everyone for the first time, wondering if I’ll make a mistake or if everything will be okay, but if anything, I thought it's great, and the people around also thought it's great. But when that circle expands from me to people who are close to me, and then to my fans and to the general public, honestly I'm really scared about what people will think. People have completely different values, and there's no doubt that the impression people get when they hear a program or a song is different for each person. So I do feel a bit scared that it may go in the wrong direction."

-How have you felt about that over the past two years?

"I've created a lot of programs, including 'RE_PRAY', and it makes me happy to see that people have different preferences for the programs they like. Some people say they like my self-choreographed programs, and others say they prefer programs that are properly choreographed by a choreographer. Some people say they prefer programs that are more like traditional figure skating, and conversely, some people prefer programs that are more over-the-top, like 'MEGALOVANIA', so it really varies. That's also one of my strengths. I'm really happy that everyone has different interpretations of the programs and likes them."

-What programs would you like to try in the future?

"I actually want to make a 15-minute program, but I'm worried it might be difficult."

-Is that a physical thing?

"Of course, it's physically demanding. For example, even if I don't jump that much, I don't want it to become boring. I want to create something with so-called contemporary movements, but I don't think I can keep up."

-There’s a concept.

"I have a vague idea, but I'm not sure if I can go that far yet. I don’t know. I haven't found a song that I want to skate to yet. I just don’t think I’ve found a song that I want to skate to for 15 or 20 minutes."

-"Danny Boy" (※1) has a more empathetic and gentler feel than ever before. Is this due to the fact that your range of expression has expanded over the past two years, or is it a change from within?

"I do feel like I've become able to express emotions that were already there in new ways. That's true when I skate to 'Notte' (Notte stellata) or 'Spring' (Come, Spring). I've been able to express things like compassion or prayer through the melody, the way I use my hands, the way I use my upper body, and so on. Up until now, I've been doing classical, pop, and instrumental pieces, and 'Come, Spring' was originally a pop song. This time, I used a jazz melody, which was something I hadn't done before, and I think the biggest difference is that I feel like I've finally become able to do it. Of course, I think part of it is that I'm getting older and becoming more mature, but I feel like I’m catching up a bit in the way I use my body to express that, and in my thought processes."

-"Danny Boy" was recommended to you by Hoshino Gen.

"That's right. I met Gen-san (※2) on the show and he said, ‘This is a good song’. At that moment, I had a feeling that this was it. I decided almost immediately that I was going to skate to this song."

-Did it come easily?

"It's hard to find songs that inspire me and songs that, when I first listen to them, I can imagine myself standing there and skating to them. I've been searching really hard for songs, but it's not easy to find one. But that song just came to me. I had a feeling that this was it. The melody was not something I could choreograph by myself, and I felt that this song needed to be skated over and over again to mature, so I immediately thought of David (Wilson, ※3) and asked him for help. It was a quick development with the song, and I felt like it was a fateful encounter."

[※1] Performed by Keith Jarrett. Debuted at "Yuzuru Hanyu Notte Stellata 2024" in March this year. [※2] He appeared as a guest on Hoshino Gen's show "Ogen-san's Sabusuku-do" (NHK, broadcast last August). He played the role of "Ogen-san's younger brother" and talked about music. [※3] Canadian choreographer. Choreographed "Romeo and Juliet" for the free skating at Sochi Olympics, "Notte Stellata," and "Spring, Come", among others.

Part 3:

The final episode of an exclusive interview with figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu (29), who announced his professional debut two years ago on the 19th. He talked about "full effort," "mind, technique, and body," and his "ideal" as an athlete. (Interviewer: Megumi Takagi)

-During a press conference for "RE_PRAY," you said, "I can still improve the composition."

"Originally, in practice, I was practicing 'Messenger of Ruin' with the final axel as a 3A3T (a triple 1/2-triple toe loop combination jump). Sometimes I would also practice the first toe loop in the second half as a 4T3T (a quadruple toe loop-triple toe loop combination jump). I probably wouldn't be able to do it in a real performance, but I was practicing it as a way to build up my stamina and improve my skills. I had some time to spare, so I thought I'd like to do it if possible. I tried it on the final day of the Miyagi performance, and there were some flaws. I guess I was hoping that if I practiced more, I'd be able to do it."

-Will there be a composition as difficult as that (※1) this season as well?

"I would like to do it. However, I think the composition will be completely different depending on what I want to express. Is the challenge a quadruple jump, or something more physically difficult? Also, I think the way it is presented will be completely different depending on whether I am challenging myself expressively. If possible, I would like to improve the composition. However, when it comes to a tour, I wonder if I am really 100% confident that I can deliver something good to everyone. I think it is necessary to always consider the balance and make sure I am not overestimating myself."

-It was the same in the ice shows and exhibitions when you were competing, and of course it's still the same now. Why are you able to give it your all every time?

"On the contrary, I feel more uncomfortable if I don’t give it my all. Performing in front of people is in itself something that may or may not please them, but in that moment, it may also be a catalyst for a change in someone’s life, even if just a little. If it were my own performance, I don't think I could show a half-hearted performance."

-Is that always the case?

"Always. I think I've been like that since I was little. I think my physical ability is pretty high, but if I didn't give it my all, I wouldn't reach that level. Therefore, I had to remove that limiter and try to catch up with my sister (Hanyu started skating because of his sister, who is four years older than him) or try to reach her level, since I couldn’t get that far unless I gave it my all. For example, when I was a novice and I couldn't jump the triple or double axel properly. Other kids could jump them, but I was flexible, didn't have much muscle strength, and wasn't blessed with a body that was so good in terms of explosive power, but when I thought about wanting to be better than everyone else, or wanting to catch up with everyone else, that's why I kept giving it my all. I removed my limiter more than other people. Because I didn't want to lose. I wanted to be praised (laughs). So, removing the limiter is normal for me probably from a young age. I have an older sister, so there’s always someone at home to aspire to. So, I guess I had to remove the limiter in everything. And now I have a sense of responsibility. Because I am Yuzuru Hanyu, the question of how far I can go in my pursuit is gradually coming into play and giving it meaning. If I were to talk about my childhood, I think that's probably what it was like."

[※1] In "RE_PRAY"'s "Messenger of Ruin," he completed a highly difficult routine just like in a competition, including a single quadruple Salchow and toe loop, five consecutive quadruple toe loops, and two triple axels.

-How do you increase your concentration before a performance?

"In my case, theoretically, I think that if I can get excited or create a situation that I find enjoyable, I will naturally be able to concentrate. So, although I don't sing it out loud, I think that getting into music is what turns on my concentration switch. It's like my blood gets pumping, or like the switch in my brain changes. I guess it's the song, the music."

-You are still a complete athlete. Athletes often use the phrase "Shin-Gi-Tai” *," but where does ‘mind, technique, and body’ fit into your perspective, Hanyu-san?

"In the end, I think there's no point if you can't find a balance. If you excel in one area… For example, if your heart becomes very strong at one point, but your technique is not strong enough to match the size of your heart, then the heart itself will probably be destroyed and you will be swallowed up. So you definitely need the technique to express your heart. Even if you spread that heart and technique widely, if you don't have the physical strength, if your body itself isn't functioning well, then you will be swallowed up by your technique and your heart. In the end, I think if you really want to level up, you have to make everything bigger."

*心技体 (Shin-gi-tai) – Shin = mind/heart, Gi= skills/technique, Tai = physique/body

-What is an athlete?

"Now, I have the opportunity to work in various professional fields and have more opportunities to come into contact with people whom I really respect, I think that the people I consider to be the very best are all athletes. For example, there is the NHK programme ‘The Professionals’, and people like that are really athletes. Personally, I think the way they use their time, or the way they use their heart and soul, to achieve a certain goal or ideal is what makes them athletes. I don't know whether to call that an athlete or a professional, but that's how I've always been since my competitive days. I think that's what I would like to call myself, an athlete."

-You've often used the word "ideal" since the latter half of your competitive days. It sounds like a declaration of determination not to compromise on that.

"The reason I started talking about my 'ideal' towards the end of my competitive days was because, well… To be honest, I wanted to perform a certain way, but after all, it didn’t always lead to positive evaluation. That's when I decided to shift towards pursuing my ideal."

-Perhaps around Autumn Classic?

"The most significant was Autumn, I guess…Autumn 2019…? At that time, I had no choice but to reconsider and realise that the most important thing was to do what I wanted to do and perform the kind of performance I was aiming for, rather than worrying about scores. I felt that this was equal to making the fans happy. From then on, I am still on that same path. After I become a professional skater, I have to pursue it even more. Because I am skating for the fans. The ideal is getting higher and higher, and I am chasing that ideal."

Post-interview notes:

Last year, one year after turning professional, Hanyu-san sent a message to his fans to Sports Hochi. "I will continue to strive for my ideal and continue to constantly renew that ideal," he wrote. I think that this past year has been exactly like that.

The path he should take must have become clearer now. His expression was bright and full of contentment. We asked him to write down his aspiration for his third year on a coloured paper. He wrote, "Pursuing the 'ideal’”. "I'm skating for my fans, so the ‘ideal’ will get higher and higher," he said. Beautiful skating that blends in with the music. A range of expression that can only be achieved with advanced technique. I hope that Hanyu-san will continue to cherish the "ideal" skating that he has carefully cultivated. (Takagi Megumi)

写真タイムに1分残す予定だったのですが…。「あと何分？え、30秒⁉︎矢口ごめん！」がゴング。椅子の隣に用意してあったセットに瞬間移動即ポーズを決めてくれた #羽生結弦 選手。30秒でこの写真を撮ってくれた #矢口亨 カメラマン。ありがとうございました。

"They had planned for 1min for photo taking but there was only 30s left (Y: Yaguchi, sorry!). [The shoot set up was next to the chair (where he was doing his interview)] and Yuzu pretty much teleported to the seat and struck the pose and Yaguchi-san took the photo, all in 30s"

羽生結弦さん「超越。自分を超えたい」「想像の斜め上をいくプログラムを」　単独インタビュー

フィギュアスケート男子で２０１４年ソチ、１８年平昌五輪連覇の羽生結弦さん（２７）が１０日、地元のアイスリンク仙台で公開練習「ＳｈａｒｅＰｒａｃｔｉｃｅ」を行い、プロスケーターとしての滑りを初披露した。新章のスタートは自身の公式ＹｏｕＴｕｂｅチャンネル「ＨＡＮＹＵ　ＹＵＺＵＲＵ」でもライブ配信され、１０万人超が視聴した。合同取材後、スポーツ報知の単独インタビューに応じ、過去、現在、未来を語った。（高木　恵）

　―５～６月にアイスショー「ファンタジー・オン・アイス」に出演した。始まった頃にはプロ転向を決めていたのか？

　「ああ…まあ、それは、そうとも言えるし、そうとも言い切れないし、みたいなところですかね。実際、そのアイスショーという舞台を経験しながら、自分の決意が固まっていった感じはあります。なんか、ここでやっていきたいなっていうか、ここでっていうか、さらにここから、どういうふうに進んでいけるかみたいなことを感じながら、あとはまあ、自分の伸びしろをちょっと感じられたので、そういう意味でも、さらにうまくなっていきたいなっていうのは、ちょっと思いました」

　―合同囲み取材では「年内の活動」についてめどが立ってきたと言っていた。それのため���練習もしていると。「まだ内緒」と言っていたが、少しヒントを？

　「はははは（笑い）」

　―どうか少しだけ…。

　「少し？　まあでもなんか、競技っぽさはちょっと感じていただきたいかなーと。これからも、難しいことを含めて、やっぱチャレンジしていきたいですし、それが４Ａ（４回転半ジャンプ）になるのかは、ちょっと分からないですけど。ただ、これからもその４Ａを含めて、すごく難しいことと、同時に自分が表現したいことであったりとか、そういうものの両立を図っていきたいなって思います」

―アイスショーでいい？

　「ショーでいいとは思っているんですけど。ただ、なんかその、形がどういうふうになっていくかも、ちょっと今すごい考え中なので、そこはちょっと言い切れないんで。年内の活動って言っちゃうんですけど（笑い）。はい」

　―７月１９日の決意表明会見で「心を大切にしたい」と言っていたが、それはキス・アンド・クライでの笑顔が減っていったこととも関係がある？

　「あははは。そうですね。それももちろんそうですし、あと、アイスショーやっていてもそうなんですけど、やっぱりすごい自分が、その演技にかけきってしまうからこそ、たまに、なんだろう…メディアに出ている羽生結弦じゃないことを、すごくないがしろにしがちなんですよね、自分が。だから、それをまた、大切にしていけたらいいなというふうには思っていて、その、なんかその、自分の大切にする選択がもしかしたら、なんか失望したとか、なんか、もう見ないって言われてしまうかもしれないんですけど。でもなんか、その自分の価値がちゃんとスケートにあるようにしたい。そして、それも、その自分の心が空っぽになってからでは遅いので、しかも多分、自分にしか分からないし、自分が気付いてあげないと大事にできないんで。そこはなんか、これから自分がけがをしないとか、自分がボロボロにならないみたいなところも大切になってくるからこそ、自分の心をちゃんと認めてあげたいなみたいなところは感じていました」

　―そのメディアに出てこない羽生結弦とは、プライベートの？

　「そうですね（笑い）。はい。自分自身というか」

　―素の自分？

　「そうですね」

―羽生結弦にとって、羽生結弦ってどんな人間？

　「まあなんか、記者会見でも言ってましたけど、やっぱ重たいんですよね、それが。やっぱり、自分が理想としている自分っていうのが間違いなくいて、でもそれは普通に社会に出るにあたって、皆さんかぶるとは思うんですよ、それは。だけど、それがひときわ皆さんに注目されてしまうからこそ、もっとこれをしなきゃいけない、これをしなきゃいけないみたいなのは、強くなりすぎているとは思うんですよね。ただ、僕の場合はそれがあるからこそ、うまくなれているのは間違いないなって思っていて、だからこそ、それも大事にしつつ、そこに追いつけるような、その栄養をちゃんと取りつつ、っていうのを今プロになって改めて感じています」

　―一番好きなプログラムと、衣装を教えてください？

　「ははははは！　一番好きなプログラム！　うーんと…ぱっと出ないな。でも今は『天と地と』（注１）すごい好きです。自分でいられる��て思っています」

　―衣装は？

　「衣装は、えーっと…『ホワイトレジェンド』（注２）」

　―プロとして新たなステージに立った。これから、やってみたいプログラムは？

　「今後やってみたいプログラムは…えっとー、皆さんが、想像しているものの斜め上をいけるようなプログラムにしたいです」

　―今後の抱負は？

　「今後の抱負。そうだなー。うーん。『超越』。ふふふ。自分を超えたいなって思います」

Yuzuru Hanyu ``Transcendence.

Figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu (27), who won back-to-back gold medals at the 2014 Sochi and 2018 PyeongChang Olympics, held a public practice "SharePractice" at his hometown ice rink Sendai on the 10th and showed off his skating skills for the first time as a professional skater. The start of the new chapter was also broadcast live on his official YouTube channel "HANYU YUZURU", and was viewed by more than 100,000 people. After the joint interview, he spoke about the past, present, and future in an exclusive interview with Sports Hochi. (Megumi Takagi)

　Q: You appeared in the ice show “Fantasy on Ice” from May to June. Did you decide to turn pro when you started?

　"Ah... Well, I can say that, but I can't say that for sure. In fact, I feel that my determination has solidified while experiencing the stage of the ice show. Somehow, While feeling that I want to continue working here, or rather, how I can move forward from here, I also felt a little bit of room for growth, so in that sense as well. , I thought a little that I want to get better.”

　―In the joint boxed interview, you said that the prospects for “activities within the year” have been set. I'm also practicing for it. You said "it's still a secret", but could you give me a hint?

　"Hahahaha (laughs)"

　-Please, just a little bit...

　“A little bit? However, from now on, including the 4A, I would like to try to achieve both extremely difficult things and things that I want to express at the same time.”

-Can we have an ice show?

　"I think it's fine for a show. However, I'm currently thinking a lot about how it's going to look like, so I can't say for certain. (laughs) Yes.”

　―At the press conference on July 19th, you said, “I want to cherish my heart.” Is that related to the fact that the number of smiles in Kiss and Cry has decreased?

　"Ahahaha. That's true. Of course, it's the same, and it's the same when I'm doing an ice show, but it's because I'm so amazing that I'm completely absorbed in the performance, so sometimes I don't know what... I'm in the media. I tend to neglect things that aren't Yuzuru Hanyu. The choice may be disappointing, or they may say they won't watch it anymore, but I want to make sure that my value is in skating. It's too late after my heart is empty, and perhaps only I can understand it, and I can't take care of it unless I realize it. I felt like I wanted to properly acknowledge my heart because even the things that I didn't want to do became important."

　―What about Yuzuru Hanyu, who doesn't appear in the media, in his private life?

　“Yes (laughs). Yes.

　- Your real self?

　"is that so"

―For Yuzuru Hanyu, what kind of person is Yuzuru Hanyu?

　"Well, I said it at the press conference, but it's heavy, isn't it? After all, there is definitely an ideal version of yourself, but when you go out into society normally, everyone wears it. But I think I've become too strong to say that I have to do this more because it attracts everyone's attention. In my case, I believe that it is precisely because of this that I am able to do well. Now that I'm a professional, I feel it again."

　―Please tell us your favorite program and costume?

　"Hahahahahaha! My favorite program! Hmm...it doesn't come out right away. But now I really like 'Heaven and Earth' (Note 1). I think I can be myself."

　- What about your clothes?

　"The costume is, well... 'White Legend' (Note 2)"

　―You have entered a new stage as a professional. What program would you like to do next?

　“The program I want to do in the future is…well, I want to create a program that goes above and beyond what you can imagine.”

　―What are your future aspirations?

　"Future aspirations. That's right. Hmm. 'Transcendence'. Fufufu. I want to surpass myself."

Character Profiles

Boys:

Aito Yukimura

Ultimate Puppeteer

Height: 154 cm / 5 ft 1 in

Chest Size: 74 cm / 29 in

Weight: 46 kg / 101 lbs

Blood Type: 0

Likes: Tea

Dislikes: Darkness

Date of Birth: September 20th

Aito acts excessively childish, like reeeaaally childish. He might not take a serious situation... seriously. If he feel like he wants to become closer to someone, he’ll be kinder and stick around them until they brush him off, kind of like a kid. He also gets easily surprised and amazed.

Because of his child-like behaviour, a lot of kids enjoy his puppet shows because it feels like it was practically made “for them, by them”. In the end, he enjoys being around kids and make them smile!

Asuka Takagi

Ultimate Police Detective

Height: 171 cm / 5 ft 6 in

Chest Size: 78 cm / 31 in

Weight: 64 kg / 141 lbs

Blood Type: 0

Likes: Waterfalls

Dislikes: Robberies

Date of Birth: July 27th

Asuka is a slightly egoistic boy who’s pretty much a lone wolf. He feels like the others might slow him down, so he almost never accepts help for anything. He even goes all the way out to try and take the leadership of any situation so he can keep it under control.

He’s got a lot of pride in his talent; as a police detective, he takes his duty very seriously. Asuka has proven multiple times that he’s very capable of handling his job all by himself and never resorting to teamwork.

Ikuto Tsukino

Ultimate Astrobiologist

Height: 182 cm / 6 ft 0 in

Chest Size: 82 cm / 32 in

Weight: 70 kg / 154 lbs

Blood Type: AB

Likes: Fallen Leaves

Dislikes: Newbies

Date of Birth: January 9th

Ikuto has a really strong attitude. Usually, his aggressive and angry personality get the best of him, so he can come off as rude very often (and he is). He can't stand sugarcoated or roundabout conversations cuz they’re a waste of time, so you better be direct with Ikuto unless you want him to run out of patience.

He’s got great interest and a wide knowledge in his area of expertise... but not for the reasons that one would think. He even conducted plenty of research and contributed to the astrobiology field on numerous occasions.

Ren Aihara

Ultimate Fashion Designer

Height: 187 cm / 6 ft 1 in

Chest Size: 87 cm / 34 in

Weight: 77 kg / 169 lbs

Blood Type: A

Likes: Rain

Dislikes: Fame

Date of Birth: January 5th

Ren is the calm and quiet type who’s a genuinely kind person. He’s highly humble and somewhat reserved about himself. He needs everything to be in peace so that tranquility fills the air; if things are getting a little too heavy, he’ll back off a bit from the conversation. 

As expected from a fashion designer, he’s made lots of gorgeous and stylish designs, but while he enjoys it, Ren���s a bit of a perfectionist when there are tiny mistakes that throw him off, and might pull an all-nighter fixing them.

Seiji Oozora

Ultimate Boy Scout

Height: 167 cm / 5 ft 5 in

Chest Size: 79 cm / 31 in

Weight: 62 kg / 136 lbs

Blood Type: A

Likes: Fluffy Animals

Dislikes: Clouds

Date of Birth: February 8th

Seiji is a guy who truly enjoys helping others and being overall nice to everyone; he always insists on helping and making sure everything and everyone’s okay. He's also very respectful, cares a lot for his friends and tries his best to lead everyone to the right path.

By being a boy scout, he knows a lot of handy things that might seem small, but you’ll probably need his help for more than one thing. Out of all the activities, Seiji enjoys camping and exploring the most.

Tatsuo Shimizu

Ultimate Mathematician

Height: 176 cm / 5 ft 7 in

Chest Size: 81 cm / 32 in

Weight: 67 kg / 147 lbs

Blood Type: A

Likes: Baking Chocolate

Dislikes: Beaches

Date of Birth: May 12th

Tatsuo is a gentleman that prioritizes “the right path” above everything else. He might act a bit strict here and there, but despite that, he’s always meaning the best for everyone’s sake. He also tries to motivate and encourage people so that they can keep moving forward.

Incredibly smart mathwise, he can solve huge equations with his mind within seconds. Since these things are so simple for him though, when he tries to explain them to someone, he has a hard time detailing every “simple” process.

Yoshimi Komuro

Ultimate Set Designer

Height: 180 cm / 5 ft 9 in

Chest Size: 84 cm / 33 in

Weight: 72 kg / 158 lbs

Blood Type: B

Likes: Gossip

Dislikes: Cheap Paint

Date of Birth: October 6th

Yoshimi is a quite charming and charismatic individual who appears to be relaxingly carefree. He isn't afraid of speaking his mind, nor does he seem to be particularly bothered by anyone’s comments or opinions. He’ll most likely do as he pleases instead of getting bossed around.

He's very passionate about his art and work in general. Although he enjoys the theater, acting isn't something that he's interested in taking part in; he prefers to contribute in artistic ways like with backgrounds and props.

Yuzuru Nomura

Ultimate Recycler

Height: 160 cm / 5 ft 2 in

Chest Size: 75 cm / 29 in

Weight: 56 kg / 123 lbs

Blood Type: B

Likes: Cybergoth

Dislikes: Rich People

Date of Birth: March 23rd

Yuzuru is a good and creative boy that seems pretty naive, but he's not actually that innocent. He's really generous and helpful; always offering his help whenever he can, and not taking a no for an answer. He tries his best to get along with everyone in his surroundings.

He keeps things that can be recycled in case that he might need them in the future to make something. Yuzuru also likes to make tiny yet useful gifts from time to time with his abilities.

Girls:

Himawari Oshiro

Ultimate Violinist

Height: 169 cm / 5 ft 6 in

Chest Size: 90 cm / 35 in

Weight: 52 kg / 115 lbs

Blood Type: B

Likes: Loud Noises

Dislikes: Girly Clothes

Date of Birth: December 13rd

Himawari is a highly-energetic girl, and kind of tough too. But don’t worry, if you’re nice with her, she’ll totally stand by your side like the good friend she is; an eye for an eye as they say! And of course, once Himawari is decided on something, it’s very difficult to change her mind.

All her energy needs to get out somehow, so most of the times she plays the violin while dancing intensely at the rhytmn of the music in order to do so. This activity is filled with so much passion, you can hear it in her compositions.

Irasema Crisanto

Ultimate Lepidopterist

Height: 162 cm / 5 ft 3 in

Chest Size: 74 cm / 29 in

Weight: 50 kg / 110 lbs

Blood Type: B

Likes: Butterflies and Moths

Dislikes: Dark Colors

Date of Birth: June 3rd

Irasema is a very distant person when it comes to socializing, and sort of mean or grumpy too. By acting like this, she tries to be alone since she seems to prefer having her own space. She involves a lot of sarcasm in her conversations for her own amusement.

Butterflies and moths are sort of hypnotizing for her; she could watch them for days and still not get tired. The flower crown she handcrafted by herself attracts many of these bugs when she’s near their area.

Kaiyo Fukumori

Ultimate Theorist

Height: 154 cm / 5 ft 1 in

Chest Size: 77 cm / 30 in

Weight: 43 kg / 95 lbs

Blood Type: AB

Likes: Kiwifruit

Dislikes: Scorpions

Date of Birth: April 30th

Kaiyo is a very nervous individual who seems doubtful and insecure most of the time, but tries to pull through it so that she can show how capable she is despite leaving said impressions. She’s caring and also very mature; she takes every situation seriously, even the ones that don’t require it.

Being very knowledgable in almost every field, Kaiyo can (along with other abilities) theorize possible outcomes to most situations, and because of these many routes, she constantly worries about what could happen next.

Kiiro Sasakawa

Ultimate Underwater Performer

Height: 137 cm / 4 ft 5 in

Chest Size: 67 cm / 26 in

Weight: 35 kg / 77 lbs

Blood Type: A

Likes: The Moon

Dislikes: Sweet Food

Date of Birth: January 28th

Kiiro might look like a very sweet person, but she isn't all that friendly actually. She's very hard to approach, and tends to throw a tantrum when people don't agree with her until they give in. She appears to feel like she’s above everything else, and acts like nothing could ever bring her down.

This girl is almost like a mermaid; she can swim underwater with great control, like she has lived there her whole life and knows what she’s doing. Kiiro can also hold her breath for a long period of time.

Machi Miwa

Ultimate Matchmaker

Height: 165 cm / 5 ft 4 in

Chest Size: 87 cm / 34 in

Weight: 53 kg / 117 lbs

Blood Type: 0

Likes: Strawberry Drinks

Dislikes: Infidelity

Date of Birth: November 18th

Machi is a very enthusiastic and caring girl who’s highly extroverted (maybe a bit too much). She tends to cheer up anyone who might seem down, and compliments people out of the kindness of her heart. She’s also extremely good at reading people in terms of likes, dislikes and basic personality.

Because she’s a matchmaker, couples are like oxygen for her; nothing will make her day like a pair of lovebirds being happy with each other. Be careful of treating others too nicely around her!

Matsuko can come across as an average person at first sight, but that might change after a few interactions with her. She has a tendency to ramble when she states her thoughts or opinions, and can easily get upset when you question her decisions and ideas while getting defensive about them.

Unlike most talented people, Matsuko doesn't enjoy her talent and the routine that comes with it(though she doesn't despise it); she prefers to write stories and talk about them rather than baking.

Ragni Vinter

Ultimate Ice Skater

Chest Size: 83 cm / 33 in

Weight: 49 kg / 108 lbs

Blood Type: B

Likes: Cats

Dislikes: Family Gatherings

Date of Birth: July 22nd

Ragni is sort of a temperamental girl. She often treats others coldly, and tends to avoid conversations by cutting it short; not very open, and certainly not all that cooperative either. Depending on how tense things are, she might act normally and mature, or just be insufferable for the rest of the day.

If there's a place where you can see her being genuinely happy, that's the ice rink. Ragni’s ice skating skills are flawless when it comes to balance and elegance, although that’s mostly when she has to get serious.

Yuuka Akahana

Ultimate Silk Curtain Dancer

Height: 147 cm / 4 ft 8 in

Chest Size: 97 cm / 38 in

Weight: 71 kg / 156 lbs

Blood Type: A

Likes: Ribbons

Dislikes: Social Networks

Date of Birth: March 4th

Yuuka is an extremely shy but totally sweet girl; she can get nervous most of the times, and doesn't tend to share her opinions ‘cuz she mostly goes with the flow/what others say. While she’s got a bit of self-doubt, whenever someone compliments her, she gets flustered and feels reassured.

Her performances are quite stunning! With a big combination of flexibility, strength and grace, her stunts in the air are a complete success. Yuuka’s abilities are sky-high!

Regarding School Life

Fenglin Tianxia Wangfei Shisansui by Yuzuru Shino is a really pleasurable read. The writer does not wait the least when the week begins making inquiries on impulse. Nonetheless, what happens if it turns out it can't be kept by you? What if you fall for the individual?

I expected a shounen ai. But I obtained a lot more. I got to see a genuine love with sights I feel what the personalities were meant to really feel and can study the tale myself. I can not put it into words from begin to finish, how much I liked this manga. First off, let me praise the setup as well as ESPECIALLY the numbers. The suggestion behind the key points of this collection was what captured my interest along with the view on the characters' feelings alter throughout the narrative, nevertheless short it could be. It does not repaint the tale of the regular romance. We go with the characters via infatuation, appreciation, temper, jealousy and also naturally unconditional love alongside as well as I assume that is stunning.

We reach see every element of a love that is real and it accumulates during a predetermined amount of time. We see how Yuzuru queries Seryou if he can be his date for the week for a gag, and in the point of the narrative, the majority of us would certainly anticipate the so called "foreseeable" surface these two do not just go out to the week, however truly succumb to each other.

It will. Initially of Fenglin Tianxia - Wangfei Shisansui, you will more than likely see right through it and also think, "well, it is the precise unimaginative story". A couple of phases in as well as you'll begin to re-think your declaration. One way or another, you will definitely start to doubt the size of this story, start to believe "but wait, this is not exactly how it is intended to be!"

At first, you will certainly undergo the exact same normal start of the protagonist being fascinated by the personality. We see Yuzuru respect Seryou from afar yet it's simple to surf of it being greater than just adoration with his exterior. Is it simply due to the truth he knows Seryou has a various companion each week? Or is it because he can not review his feelings over the situation and this individual?

Karakai Jouzu no Takagi san manga that I guess. As you could believe originally, however the begin is. The story makes pre- fascination's trope into something that makes you wish to see more and also catches your attention.

In addition to the representation of rage as well as envy was what interested me. We see when he becomes aware of the woman that has call with Seryou although Yuzuru tries to hold it back, his blood is steaming with rage. Whenever the lady comes we see the miscommunication between Seryou and also Yuzuru. The "It resembles that, right? The play in this series is not your romance drama where you quit minding it and also will certainly see through it. This will certainly leave you anxious over not or if you'll really get your delighted end. It made me really feel considering that the play lengthened into the last minute, as though it was not worth reviewing if I did not obtain the surface the personalities was worthy of. It went on for so long and with a strength, I was 90% persuaded that this can be another among these ends where it would certainly be an end, however most definitely not a one. In a nutshell, I was persuaded that "Fenglin Tianxia - Wangfei Shisansui" would certainly pull and also Spoiler] No. 6 type of finishing.

Yet if I was doubtful of the series did my examination of the collection became a 10? No, not even if of completion, however because of the emotional roller rollercoaster it took me as well as it resolved well and also all of it as it was. As my word about it, it will certainly not allow you down. I would advise this manga online to everyone that wants to experience a loving side and in the future, feel the blessings and also each. If you like to check out manga online then go all out!
