I think he said something like that in English, but what was interesting about Javier was that while consoling him, he also said, "Yes, I understand, it's lonely. I understand, but I haven't had Yuzu sign my pamphlet yet."
みたいな感じで、パンフレットとペンを持って隣で待っているんですよ(笑)。
It's like, waiting next to him with a pamphlet and a pen (laughs).
その二人の関係がすごくよく て、ほっこりしつつ、ホロリときちゃいました。
The relationship between the two is so good that it made me feel warm and fuzzy at the same time.
After that, Mr. Hanyu said, "If I take off this costume, the show will end, so I don't want to take it off. I want to stay like this forever." As he said, he was wearing the costume until the end.

Video from Johnny Weir's IG, the scene in dressing room before Yuzuru entering.
"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"
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."
Update: Javier will be in Mexico that day. They are to busy to skate together...
