why do yuzu antis like to pretend he only skates to classical, traditional, or warhorse music, this is literally the same guy that did LMEY, LGC, and PW? and it's not like his classical, traditional, and warhorse programs are the same; tenchi is completely different in character and choreo from seimei, chopin is different from rondo, origin is different from H&L, R&J is different from POTO, etc. if you want to talk about versatility, he inarguably has it.
also fyi versatility is more than just skating to different genres, it's being able to pull them off with QUALITY

Do you think Yuzuru's free skate choreographies for 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 seasons were beautiful? I always think David Wilson could do better. Also, because Parisian Walkways brought high PCS scores for Yuzuru, I blame the free skate choreographies more. But, I am not an expert for figure skating. So, I wanted to ask someone who knows more.
I am not an expert on figure skating either, but I observe this sport and its scoring for quite some time...
Actually his Notre Dame de Paris free skate of 2012-2013 is my least favorite competitive Yuzu program with Romeo and Juliet 2.0 of 2013-2014 a close 2nd...so though I don't think the programs are essentially bad, I just don't think they were the best choices for Yuzu. For Romeo and Juliet 2.0 I think it's also partly that his Romeo and Juliet 1.0 was so iconic, that a repetition of the same theme though not in its entirety seemed not the best option to me,but I know that Yuzu himself wanted to skate Romeo and Juliet again and also that he had ideas for the concept of the program 2.0, so David Wilson is not the sole one responsible for the choice. Again emphasizing that it's not a bad program at all, just that I think other choices might have been better. Notre Dame de Paris never clicked as much with me so I haven't rewatched it much. Btw back at that time I wasn't as attached to Yuzu's career as after the Olympics 2014, so maybe that's also playing a part on why it's not my favorites.
David Wilson - just like with any choreographer - did fabulous programs and not as good ones and imo David Wilson didn't seem to be the choreographer that fitted Yuzu's competitive skating best. I also think because the David Wilson programs did not click as much as other programs by different choreographers Yuzu never did another competitive program with David Wilson again. David Wilson however has created some very good exhibitions for Yuzu, actually those David Wilson exhibitions are among my favorites - Notte Stellata and Haru Yo Koi. As those programs were choreographed much later I think David Wilson may not have understood Yuzu's skating back in 2012-2013 as much as he did later. Yuzu was just starting to skate at TCC and maybe language barrier may also have played a part to not turn Notre Dame de Paris and Romeo and Juliet 2.0 into masterpieces. BUT this is also just my opinion, so it's also probably a matter of how you view Yuzu's skating and what you prefer if you think of Notre Dame de Paris and Romeo and Juliet 2.0 as fitting.
As for the PCS I don't think the choreographies are at fault for the PCS and I don't think they were "problematic" in the sense of too low. PCS at that time were a lot lower in general compared to after 2015. Judges did not hit the "excellent" button as often as they do now. Back in the day a PCS score of 85+ for the free skate was very high whereas today something over 90 for the very top skaters is normal. If you look at the PCS scores of those years the only one constantly having more PCS and in the low 90+ range was Patrick Chan, who was a master in skating skills and who had a higher reputation than Yuzu at that point. BUT Yuzu's PCS were among the highest in the field. So I don't think his PCS were bad at that time. Parisienne Walkways may have had an impact on the PCS of the free skate but maybe not in the way you might think.
Parisienne Walkways is a masterpiece that gave Yuzu plenty of world records and not many programs can compare to that at all, so it was hard to produce the same success with the free skate. BUT also you have to see that Yuzu did Parisienne Walkways perfectly and cleanly over time and a couple of times and his PCS increased over the time too. Neither Notre Dame de Paris nor Romeo and Juliet 2.0 ever reached that level of perfection in competition (a perfect FS in competition is in general harder to get bc of more elements, but also Yuzu did have some trouble with the free skate as he was struggling with exhaustion due to his asthma a lot more back when). And no matter if rules or not judges tend to judge clean programs with more PCS than those with mistakes. It's not how it should be, but that's how it often is. (You can see that especially in the steady rise of Nathan's PCS scores over his career)

Yuzuru hanyu x Javier Fernandez special dialogue in FaOI 2022 pamphlets. Yuzuru asked current situation in Spain after Javier saying he didn't skate in ice show for almost 3 years, the difference between competion and profession, and thought he couldn't do Javier's style of comedy, like making audiences laughing. Javier talked about he like "Parisienne Walkways" in whole black costume and "Haru Yo, Koi".

新型コロナウイルス感染拡大で、2年間中止になっていたファンタ ジー・オン・アイス。 3年ぶりに実現した今回の公演は、5月27日の幕張から始まってこの神戸が3公演目。 このファンタジーでは長年要出演者として参加し、選手としては2012年の夏からはチームメイ トとなり、切磋琢磨しながら世界で戦ってきた羽生結弦とハビエル・フェルナンデスに、アイスショーへの思いを語り合ってもらった。
取材・文/ 折山淑美。このインタビューは、6月2日に日本ガイシホールにて実施しました。
Fantasy on Ice had been canceled for 2 years due to the spread of the new coronavirus. This performance, which has been realized for the first time in 3 years, started in Makuhari on May 27th, and this Kobe is the 3rd performance. Yuzuru Hanyu and Javier Fernandez, who have participated in this fantasy as key performers for many years and have been teammates since the summer of 2012 as skaters, discussed their thoughts on the ice show.
Interview and text by Yoshimi Oriyama. This interview was held on June 2 at Nippon Gaishi Hall.
<Part I, pamphlet of Kobe>
——3年ぶりのファンタジー・オン・アイス。 すでに幕張公演を終えていますが、今回のショーのスタートはどんな印象でしたか。
-- Fantasy on Ice for the first time in 3 years. You have already finished the Makuhari show. What was your impression of the start of this show?
羽生
ファンタジー・オン・アイスは初演から最終日まで、 すごく日数もあってツアーという感じでやっていますが、今回は最初から「もう最終日?」 というくらいの熱量を感じられたのでそれが嬉しかったですね。 何か、僕の演技がどうのこうのとか、みんながどうのこうのではなくて、すごいファンタジーとしての・・・・ファンタジー・オン・アイスならで はの一体感みたいなものが、観客の皆さんとのコネクションの中で感じられたなと思いました。
Hanyu:
From the premiere to the final day of Fantasy on Ice, we have a lot of days, so we are doing it like a tour, this time, from the very beginning, I was so happy that I was able to feel the intensity of "It's already the last day?" It was not about my performance, or about everyone else's, but about the connection with the audience that I could feel a sense of unity that is unique to... Fantasy on Ice as a great fantasy.
フェルナンデス(以下ハビ)
Fernandez (Javi hereafter)
ユヅルが言ってくれたことと同じことだけど、他のスケーター、そして観客の皆さんから 来るエネルギーというのは素晴らしいものがあったと思います。またこれまで長い間、お客さんの前で滑るチャンスがな かったのと、ファンタジー・オン・アイスも開催できていな かったということで、いつも以上のエキサイティングな気持 ちがみんなの中にあると思いました。そして本当に多くのス ケーターにとって、 今回はある意味チャレンジングなところもあると思います。 ほぼ3年間やっていなかったので、僕もな かなか感覚などが戻ってくるまで時間がかかっていて、 当然 疲れも出ます。 でもいい経験だと思うし、いいカムバックに なったなと思います。
I agree with what Yuzuru said, the energy from the other skaters and the audience was amazing. Also, we haven't had a chance to skate in front of an audience for a long time, and we haven't had Fantasy on Ice for a long time, so there was more excitement than usual in everyone's hearts. And for many skaters, this time will be a challenge in a sense. I have not skated in ice show for almost 3 years, so it has taken some time for me to get back to my senses, and of course I am tired. But I think it was a good experience and a good comeback for me.
羽生
スペインはコロナの状況がすごく厳しくて大変だったと聞いているけど、ハビの生活はどうでしたか。
Hanyu:
I heard that the corona situation in Spain was very tough and difficult, how was life for Javi?
ハビ
やっぱりスペインの状況はずっと良くなくて、スケート自体もなかなか出来なかったし、感染対策もいろんなことをしなければいけなくて・・・・。日常生活をすることや、練習 に行ったりする中でも非常に複雑なことをやっていかなけれ ばいけなかったので、すごく大変でした。 でも段々、世の中が普通の生活に戻りつつあるので非常に嬉しくて、今はエキサイティングな気持ちになっています。やっと自分の人生や生活が戻ってきたな、という感じになっています。
Javi:
The situation in Spain was not good for a long time, and it was not easy to skate, and we had to do a lot of things to prevent infections. It was very difficult because we had to deal with very complicated things in our daily lives and even when we went to practice. However, I am very happy that life is gradually returning to normal, and I am now feeling excited.
——今回はアイスショーでの振り付けや、演技に対してのこだわりということを聞きたいのですが、お互いにどんなこ とを大切に考えてショーに臨んでいますか。
-- This time, I would like to ask you about the choreography for the ice show and your commitment to acting. What kind of things do you consider important to each other when you go to a show?
羽生
僕のこだわりはやっぱり音楽だったり・・・・。 もちろん 世界観も大事にしているんですけど、音楽との調和だったり。 あとは自分が、どういう風にその音楽に対して物語を持って いったり、どういうテーマだったりということを常に明確に していくことを大切にしています。
ただそれが、なにか「自分の中でこうやりたい」 みたいな感じで完結してしまうのではなくて、ちゃんと皆さんの中に、自自分の思っていたものが100%「ボン」と伝わるわけではなかっ たとしても、何かしらが伝わるような演技にしたいなという のはいつも思っています。
Hanyu:
My focus is on the music and... of course, the worldview is important, but it is also important to be in harmony with the music. I also place importance on how I bring a story or theme to the music, and always make it clear.
I always want to make sure that the performance conveys something to the audience, even if it does not convey 100% of what I had in mind.
ハビ
僕もユヅルと同じですが、 氷上でいろんな小さなストーリーを、もしくは音楽を表現することによってお客さん が自分たちのやっていることを・・・・、 そして氷上で繰り広げていることを少しでも感じてもらいたいなと思っています。 だから、できるだけお客さんをこちらに引き寄せたいなというように感じています。
今は神戸からの公演をすごく楽しみにしています。 そこでは、 非常に面白い時間が過ごせるのではないかなと期待している んです。 というのはこれまでの2公演とは違ってコラボレー ションプログラムを用意しているのですけど、それは五輪で メダルを獲った時の曲をアーティストの方に実際に歌っても らって滑るものです。 実はあの曲を生の歌で滑るのは自分にとっても初めてのことなのですごく楽しみですし、お客さんにも気に入ってもらい、それを観ることによって五輪のことを思い出してくれたら嬉しいなと思っているんです。
Javi:
Like Yuzuru, I want the audience to feel what we are doing at... and what we are doing on the ice by expressing various small stories or music on the ice. That's why I feel like I want to attract customers here as much as possible.
I'm really looking forward to the performances from Kobe now. I'm looking forward a very interesting time there. That's because, unlike the previous two performances, we have prepared a collaboration program.
Actually, it's the first time for me to skate that song live, so I'm really looking forward to it, and I hope the audience will like it, where the artist actually sings the song that won the medal at the Olympics and skates.
羽生
ちょっとまた僕から質問したいんだけど、競技をする選手とプロスケーターの違いはどう感じていますか。
Hanyu:
I would like to ask you a question again. What do you feel is the difference between a competitive skater and a professional skater?
ハビ
とてもいい質問だよね (笑)。 競技をやっていた時からプロになるというのは、1日で生活がガラッと変わってしま う感覚がありました。 「競技を辞める」と決めた瞬間から、「新しい人生が始まったな」と感じました。 毎日毎日、厳しいト レーニングをしなくてもよくなる。 もちろんアイスショーへ 向けての練習はするけど、 競技をやっている時とはまったく 違う世界です。 それまでは自分でスケジュールをきっちり決 めて、しっかり自分のことを管理してやり続けるのがとても 大変でした。 朝起きてトレーニングをして、 氷上練習をして 家に帰って休んでから寝て、という暮らしだったけど、それ がすべて違ってきました。 今ではもう、 本当にいろんなこと が1日のうちに起きています。 まるで扉を開けて、新しい世界 に一歩踏み出していく感覚です。 それはとても面白いけど、 それと同時にいろいろなことで、競技をやっていた時とは違 う忍耐力が必要かなとも思います。
Javi:
That's a very good question (laughs). From the time I was competing, becoming a professional had the feeling that my life would completely change in a day. From the moment I decided to quit competing, I felt that a new life had begun. I don't have to train hard every day. Of course, I practice for the ice show, but it's a completely different world than when I'm competing. Until then, it was very difficult for me to set my own schedule, manage myself well, and keep going. I used to wake up in the morning, train, practice on the ice, go home to rest, and then go to bed. Now, so many things happen in a day. It is like opening a door and stepping into a new world. It is very interesting, but at the same time, I think it requires a different kind of patience than when I was competing.
——フェルナンデスさんがコラボのことを話しましたが、 アーティストとのコラボレーションはファンタジー・オン・アイスならではのものですが、その場合の選曲はどういう基準でしていますか。またコラボレーションの面白さ、難しさも教えてください。
-- Fernandez-san, you talked about collaborations, but collaborations with artists are unique to Fantasy on Ice. Also, please tell us about the fun and difficulty of collaboration.
羽生
僕はそうですね、 自分の得意な曲調でやることももち ろんありますし、 逆に何か、「あっ、こういうものもやりたい な」とか、「こういうこともできるよな」 みたいな、 自分の幅を広げるという意味でも曲を選んだりしてきました。 だから何 というか、今までやったことがないようなジャンルをやって ・みたり・・・・、というのももちろんあります。
ただ、コラボレーションというのはやっぱり、アーティスト の方がそこにいらっしゃって、それで自分が演技をするので、 通常よりもプレッシャーがかかるんです。 アーティストさん に迷惑をかけたくないというか、一緒にやってより完璧なも のを作りたいというプレッシャーはすごく強くあります。そ ういう意味ではすごく冒険でもあるし、また逆にそのプレッ シャーがすごくいいパフォーマンスを生み出してくれること もあったりもするので。毎回すごい勉強をしながらやってい るという感じは強いですね。
Hanyu:
For me, of course, there are times when I do songs that I'm good at, but on the other hand, I'm like, "Oh, I want to do something like this," or, "I can do this, too." I've been choosing songs in a meaningful way. That's why, of course, there's also the fact that I try and try genres that I've never tried before...
However, in a collaboration, the artist is there, and I act with them, so there is more pressure than usual. I don't want to bother the artist, or rather, the pressure to create something more perfect by working together is very strong. In that sense, it's a great adventure, and on the other hand, there are times when the pressure gives a very good performance. I have a strong feeling that I am studying hard every time.
ハビ
ユヅルの言う通りだと思いますね。 やはりプレッシャー は、他の自分のプログラムを滑る時より多くかかるというの は同じ感覚ですけど、共演者の方とのチームワークというも のも必要になってくるというのは強く感じます。ただ自分た ちにとっては、いつもと違ったことを、 新しいことをやると いう面では非常にいい機会だとも思います。 より特別な瞬間 というか、特別な時間を過ごすことができると思います。
やはり生の歌というのはすごく美しいですし・・・。 普通に練習をしている時には同じ曲をただ繰り返してかけるだけだったのですが、アーティストが生で歌う曲に合わせて滑るというのは貴重なことだし、とても新鮮でいいことだと思います。 だから、そのために使う曲を選ぶときには、僕はまず自分に合う曲調のイメージというものを考えています。
Javi:
I think Yuzuru is right. I feel the same pressure as when I skate my own programs, but I also strongly feel that I need to work as a team with my co-stars. However, I think it is a great opportunity for us to do something new and different from what we usually do. I think we will be able to spend more special moments, or rather special time.
After all, live singing is so beautiful... When I was practicing normally, I would just play the same song over and over, but skating to the song that the artist sings live is a precious thing, and I think it's a very fresh and good thing. So, when I choose the songs to use for that purpose, I first think about the image of the tune that suits me.
——ふたりはこのファンタジー・オン・アイスでも長年共 演していますし、他のアイスショーや大会後のエキシビショ ンにも一緒に出演していると思いますが、これまでお互いに 相手のプログラムや演技を見て「すごいな」と思ったものは ありますか。 それとともに、 「自分にはできないな」と思っ たこともありますか。
-- The two of you have worked together for many years in Fantasy on Ice, and I believe you have also performed together in other ice shows and post-competition exhibitions. Have there been any programs or performances that you have seen each other do that you thought "wow" and "I can't do that"?
羽生
何だろう、やっぱり彼にしかできないコミカルなプログラムというのはあるんですね。 僕にはそういった、ちょっと力が抜けた感じというか・・・・。ただそれは、単に笑いを取りにいっているわけではなくて。チャップリンもそうだけど、 お客さんに対して気持ちを飛ばしつつ、 でも何か自然体でありながら、でもちょっとコミカルな感じ。そのバランスというのは、お笑いになってはいけないからすごく難しいと思うんです。だから彼のやっている、 お客さんたちとコネクトしながら「クスッ」と笑えるようなところとか、なにか気持ちがほぐれてくるようなものというのは、僕にはできない彼ならではの演技や動きだなと思います。
その理由となるとすごく表現が難しいんですけど、僕のス ケートってなにかフワッとしているタイプじゃなくて、もつ とガッチリお客さんの気持ちをつかみにいったりとか、逆に すごく美しく見せたりとかはできるんですけど、そういうな にかは・・・・。ちょっと技術的に詳しく言うと、ブレードを前後に揺らした感じとか、動きの止め感などというのは、彼な らではのものでもあるんです。 そういったものがやっぱりうまいなと思います。
I guess there is a kind of comical program that only he can do. For me, it's that kind of relaxed feeling, or... But I am not just trying to get laughs. Like Chaplin, I want to be able to express my feelings to the audience, but at the same time be naturalistic, but still a little comical. I think it is very difficult to find a balance between these two, because it should not become a comedy. So, I think that the way he connects with the audience and makes them laugh or relax is something that only he can do, something that I cannot.
The reason for this is very difficult to express, but my skating isn't the type that is kind of airy, I try to grasp the audience's feelings more firmly, and on the contrary, I can make it look very beautiful. But that kind of thing is... Technically speaking, the feeling of swinging the blade back and forth, the feeling of stopping the movement, etc. is something that is unique to him. I think that kind of thing is really good.
ハビ
ユヅルのプログラムで「すごいな!」と思ったものは いっぱいあるから、選ぶのは大変ですね(笑)。 でも強いて言えば、ひとつ思い出したのは、名前は出てこないのですけど、 黒い衣装でロック調の曲ですごくかっこいいやつ。 僕の 『ブラック・ベティ』 にちょっと似た感じのプログラムですね。
Javi:
There are a lot of Yuzuru's programs that made me think, "That's amazing!", so it's hard to choose one (laughs). But if I had to say it, I remember one that I can't name it, but it was a very cool one with a black costume and rock music. It's a bit like my "Black Betty" program.
羽生
何だろう、「マスカレード」かな?
Hanyu:
What is it, "Masquerade"?
ハビ
いや、もっと以前のプログラムだったね。
Javi:
No, it was an earlier program.
羽生
それなら、ドアーズの「ハロー・アイ・ラブ・ユー」かな。 それとも、 ゲイリー・ムーアの「パリの散歩道」かな?
Hanyu:
Then it's "Hello I Love You" by The Doors. Or maybe Gary Moore's "Parisienne Walkways"?
ハビ
アッ、ゲイリームーアだ。 『Parisienne Walkways」 だね。 ロック調ですごくかっこよかったんだ。 それにもうひ とつよく覚えていて印象的だったのは、 ��春よ、来い」 ですね。 日本の曲というので 『Parisienne Walkways」 とはまった く違ったスタイルの演技だけど、 スケーターとして自分の国 の曲で演技をするのは特別な思いがあると思っています。 あ のプログラムはすごく滑りが素晴らしいだけではなくて、ユ ヅルのプログラムに込めている気持ちが伝わって���るよう な演技だったので、もう芸術作品だと思って見ていました。
Javi:
Ah, Gary Moore. 'Parisienne Walkways'. It was rock-style and really cool. Another thing I remembered very well was "Haru Yo, Koi" It's a Japanese song, so it's style is completely different from "Parisienne Walkways", but as a skater, I think it's a special feeling to perform to your own country's song. Ah, his program was not only amazingly slick, but it was his acting that conveyed the feelings that Yuzuru put into his program, so I thought it was a work of art when I was watching it.
Ps. Yuzuru black-top costume Parisienne Walkways 2012 video and photos.

——そんな状況も経験しているからこそ、3年ぶりのファンタジー・オン・アイスはふたりともすごく楽しみにしていた と思いますが、今回はアイスショーに対する思いを聞いてみ たいと思います。 おふたりともこのファンタジーに限らず、 初めてアイスショーに出演した時に、 競技会との違いをどう感じましたか。 そして経験を積んできた中で、 その印象はどう変化し、 どう自分の成長につながってきたと感じていますか。
--I think that's why both of you were really looking forward to the first Fantasy on Ice show in 3 years, and I would like to ask you about your thoughts on ice shows. How did you both feel the difference from competitions when you performed in ice shows for the first time, not only this fantasy show? How have your impressions changed as you have gained experience, and how do you feel they have led to your personal growth?
羽生
僕は正直、最初から競技会よりアイスショーの方が好きだったので、「見てもらえる!」という嬉しさが強かったですね。やっぱり僕自身の中でもアイスショーに憧れていた気持ちが強かったので、自分が初めてスポットライトを浴びて滑った時は緊張感などよりも、 楽しかった思い出の方が強烈に記憶に残っています。
ただ、段々、段々経験を積むにつれて、やっぱり「いい演技をしなければいけない」とか、コラボレーションだったら「完璧 にしなくてはいけない」などという気持ちがドンドン湧いてくるので。 そういう意味では、昔より楽しめなくなっているなとも思います。 でもそれがいい演技につながったというの もあるし。ただ楽しんで、自分のために滑っているのではな くちゃんとお客さんとコネクティングしたり、また自分の表現したいものにちゃんと責任を持ってスケートをしなくて はいけないとか。 今では何か、自分がアイスショーに出演すあるスケーターとしての責任みたいなものを、しっかり感じながら滑れているなと感じます。
Hanyu:
To be honest, I liked the ice show more than the competition from the beginning, "You can see it!" I was very happy to be able to do this. After all, I had a strong desire to go to an ice show myself, so when I skated in the spotlight for the first time, I remember the fun memories more than the nervousness.
However, as I gain more and more experience, I feel that I have to give a good performance, or if it is a collaboration, I feel that I have to make it perfect. In that sense, I think I don't enjoy it as much as I used to. But that also leads to good performances. I have to skate not only for my own sake, but also to connect with the audience, and to be responsible for what I want to express. Now I feel that I can skate with a sense of responsibility as a skater who performs in ice shows.
——そういう気持ちや技術、 表現などは、 競技会にも還元 できているのではないですか。
-- I think that such feelings, techniques, and expressions are also being reflected in the competitions.
羽生
それはもちろんあります。 でもなにか、やっぱり競技の時の緊張感とアイスショーの時の緊張感はけっこう違うんですよね。 リンクが狭かったり、 という制約ももちろんあるんですけど、それよりも「お客さんたちにどう伝えるか」というのが大切なので。競技会だとジャッジに向けてどう伝える かというのがメインなので、その違いは大きいですね。 だからバーッと360度、 全方向に対して気持ちを飛ばすということは意識しています。 もちろん昔は、そこまで考えていませんでしたけど(笑)。
Hanyu:
Of course there is. But the tension during a competition is quite different from the tension during an ice show. Of course, there are restrictions, such as the narrowness of the rink, but more important is "how to communicate to the audience". In competitions, the main focus is on how to communicate to the judges, so there is a big difference. So, I am conscious of flying my feelings 360 degrees in all directions. Of course, in the past, I didn't think that far ahead (laughs).
ハビ
僕は最初のアイスショーのことは覚えていないんで す。スペインの小さなショーだったかもしれないな もしかしたら初めてのアイスショーは、今もスケートクラブの子供たちが小さなショーをやっているからそれだったかもしれ ない。でも今、ユヅルが言ったことに付け加えると、やっぱりショーは試合とは違う雰囲気だったので、それがすごく楽しみでした。照明もあったりして特別感もあるから、それを楽しめるのがいいかなと思います。
ただ、どうしてもショーになると照明がチカチカしたりする ので、それに慣れなければいけないこともあったり、自分が学んでいかなければいけないこともたくさんあります。でもすべてのスケーターにとって、ショーに出るということはすごくいい経験になることだと思います。 誰でもみんな、たくさんのお客さんに観てもらいたいと思っている。世界のお客さんたちに見てもらって、 フィギュアスケートを好きになってもらいたいと思います。
Javi:
I don't remember my first ice show. Maybe it was a small show in Spain. Maybe it was my first ice show, because the kids in my skating club still do small shows. But to add to what Yuzuru just said, I knew the show had a different atmosphere from the competition, so I was really looking forward to that. There were lights and a special atmosphere, so I thought it would be good to enjoy it.
However, when it comes to shows, the lights flicker, so there are things I have to get used to, and there are many things I have to learn. But I think for all skaters, going to a show is a great experience. Everyone wants to see as many people as possible. I hope that people from all over the world will see it and fall in love with figure skating.
羽生
あとは、アイスショーだと自分のオリジナリティを出さなければいけないと思いますね。 自分が滑るからこそ喜んでもらえるものだったり、 自分にしか滑れないものだったり。 そういうものがすごく必要になるのがアイスショーだなと思っています。 僕はそういうことを、アイスショーを通じて学んだなと思っているけどハビはどう思っている?
Hanyu:
Also, in an ice show, I think I have to show my originality. I can be happy because I can skate, or something that only I can skate. I think ice shows require such things. I think I have learned that through ice shows, but what does Javi think?
ハビ
僕がアイスショーのいい部分だと思うところは、いろんな遊び心を持って自分たちの演技ができるというところだと思っています。 例えば音楽の選曲だったり、 どういうスタイルのプログラムを選ぶかというところでも、普段ではできない色々なことを試すこともできます。そのうえに競技会とは違い、すごく難しいテクニカルなことをやる必要も無い。 ステップを複雑にする必要も無いし、すごいスピンを入れる必要も無くて、本当にオープンに「お客さんを楽しませる」ということに重きを置いてやることができる。
それで音楽も「自分が滑りたいな」とか、「これをやったらすごく自分が盛り上がるな」という曲を選ぶことができる。ショーというのは観てくれる人のため、お客さんのためというのもあるんですけど、もちろんそれ以外にも「自分たちのためにも役に立つ」ところもあると思います。
Javi:
I think one of the best parts of ice shows is that we can perform with a playful spirit. For example, we can try various things that we normally cannot do, such as music selection or what style of program to choose. Moreover, unlike competitions, we don't have to do very difficult technical things. We don't have to complicate our steps or put in amazing spins, and we can really focus on "entertaining the audience" in an open manner.
And then, as for the music, we can choose songs that we "want to skate to," or songs that we "get really excited when we do this" . Of course, a show is for the audience, but it is also "useful for us" in other ways.
——そういうアイスショーに向けて羽生選手は、以前にも「練習ではかなり追い込んでいる」と話していましたが、その追い込み方は競技会へ向けてとの違いは心を追い込むとか、気持ちを高めるという、精神的なものが多くなるのですか。
-- Hanyu, you have said in the past that you are "pushing hard in practice" for such ice shows, but is the way you push yourself differently from competitions, in that you push your mind or raise your spirits?
羽生
これは今回のファンタジーへ向けてのことですけど。 今回もかなり追い込んだ練習をやってきて、 実際に体重が3 キログラムくらい減って、すごく体力もついたと思っていま す。でも、練習している時は・・・ 普通の競技会へ向けた練習 だったら、さっき「ジャッジに向けてどう伝えるかを考える」 と話したように、いつも同じパターンでしかやらないんです ね。 同じ方向を正面にしてしかやらないんです。
でも今回のファンタジーに向けて練習をした時には裏側で やってみて、それが本当にどういう風に見えているかという のもちょっと考えながらやっていました。 その時に、「本当にこれがちゃんと表現できているかな?」と考えて。 正面から見た時に表現できているのは当たり前なんですけど、そうじゃなくて裏側から見た時にカッコいいかどうか。ちゃんとシルエットがきれいかどうか、というのはすごく考えてやました。そういう意味では、一つひとつのディテールを、細かく、細かく砕いていって練習をするというのがアイスショーには必要だと思うので、それだけ時間はかかります。
それにもちろんジャンプもしっかり跳ばないと意味が無いので、そういう面では競技会の時に学んだ、 「ジャンプをどれだけ正確に跳んでいけるか」という練習をしつつ、それにプラスアルファで、 反対側の位置でやってみたりとか、細かいディ テールをやっているという感じですね。
Hanyu:
This is for this fantasy. This time too, I practiced quite hard, and I actually lost about 3 kilograms, and I think I gained a lot of physical strength. But when I'm practicing... When I'm practicing for a normal competition, I always follow the same pattern, just like I said before, "I think about how to tell the judges." . I only do it with the same direction facing the front.
However, when I practiced for this fantasy, I tried to do it on the back side and thought about how it would really look like. I was thinking, "Am I really expressing this properly? I wondered if I was really expressing it correctly. It is a given that it is expressed when seen from the front, but I also wondered if it looked cool when seen from the back. I really thought about whether or not the silhouette is beautiful. In that sense, I think it is necessary for an ice show to practice each and every detail in detail, so it takes a lot of time.
And of course, there's no meaning in jumping unless you do it well, so in that respect, while practicing "how accurately you can jump", which I learned at the competition, I also added something to the position on the other side. It feels like I'm doing fine details, such as trying it out.

ショーへ向けたトレーニングプログラムの話だったよね?
Javi:
We were talking about a training program for the show, right?
羽生
そうだよ。
Hanyu:
Yes, it is.

ユヅルは試合の時もアイスショーの時も、とにかく周到に準備をするタイプなんですよね (笑)。 僕はそこまでではないですけど、ただショーというのは試合よりお客さんたち が近くにいて、そのお客さんの目の前で演技をします。その点で非常にいい面としては、自分のキャラクターであったり、 自分自身をお客さんに売り込めるというか、わかってもらう ことができることです。 ただそれはいいんですけど、ひとつ 怖いというかマイナス点というのは、目の前にいるので逆にお客さんの反応がしっかり見えてしまうことです。もしそこでお客さんたちの反応があまり良くないとき��は、非常に怖いというのがあります(笑)。 試合もアイスショーもとにかく全力でやるだけですけど、そういう点は違っているので、 楽しくもあり怖くもあるのは、 アイスショー独特のものなんです。
Javi:
Yuzuru is the type of skater who prepares very carefully for both competitions and ice shows (laughs). I am not that much, but in a show, I am closer to the audience than in a competition, and I perform in front of them. The good thing about this is that I can sell my character and myself to the audience, or at least have them understand me. The downside is that I an right in front of the audience, so I can see their reactions. If the reaction of the audience is not so good, I am very scared (laugh). I just do my best in competition and ice shows, but that's the difference, so it's fun and scary, It is unique to ice shows.

In late 2013 the internet introduced me to a boy in a costume full of frills and jewels, skating to Parisienne Walkways. The way that boy skated drew me in right away and I needed to know who he was.
He flew in the air, he got so into the performance you barely noticed he was spinning 3 or 4 times in the air doing stuff only a very few select in the world can.
For the past 9 years I have watched that boy grow into the best male skater this sport has seen. I've watched his highs and lows. I cried tears of sadness when he competed in China in 2014, when he lost Worlds in 2016. I cried tears of joy when he won the GPF in 2015, when he won Worlds in 2017 and the Olympics in 2018. I woke up at insane hours to watch him compete.
Watching him live on FaOI in 2017 is still one of my happiest memories of my 26 years on this Earth.
As his competitive career comes to a close, I also change as a fan. I will still watch competitive figure skating, but not with the same intensity I used to.
It started with Yuzu, it ends with Yuzu.
So I want to use this opportunity to thank everyone who I have met in this past few years. Figure skating has given me a lot, I met a lot of new friends who I still appreciate even if we don't talk as much. I started doing fan translations because i wanted to share what other people had to say about Yuzu. I found a new connection with my mother through figure skating and bonded over it, even convincing her to travel to Japan to watch FaOI.
And it all started with Yuzu.
So thank you Yuzuru Hanyu. For everything you did for the sport and for the way it affected me. Nothing but positive things. And for that he shall always remain my #1.
See you at the ice shows.

it's a cold winter day, blistering wind shaking the roots of my house, and the tv is crackling from the intensity of the olympics -- february 13, 2014.
i fell in love with figure skating over a decade ago when I first laced up my pair of Riedell boots, pretending to be Sasha Cohen circa her 2004 “Swan Lake” program. I would wake up at 5:30 a.m, practice my footwork before school, and change in the car on the way to school. on the weekends I would once again wake up at the crack of dawn to head to the arena, grinding out spins and jumps. in the fall of 2013, i had just transferred to a new school. i was in second grade and the only new kid; needless to say, i didn't have much going for me... not socially anyways. i found solace in the foot cramps, the shivers, and the frost that dusted my clothes after every practice. it was a place that i could just be. since quitting the sport a couple years ago, my love for the sport has somehow continued to grow. i remember the 2014 sochi olympics almost too vividly. yulia lipnitskaia as in the girl in the red coat, mao asada landing her triple axel to rachmaninoff, the kim yuna/adelina sotnikova drama, and most of all-- parisienne walkways.
that's where it all started for him, for me, and for the world. amidst the tears of what has become of the womens' figure skating world, i started to discover unimaginable joy in watching the mens' event. jason brown's endless split jumps, and even now yumi kagiyama's talent, continue to bring me smiles whenever i need one. the confidence, the aura, the little smirk and flick of the hand. i can't even begin to describe how those little flairs are etched into my mind, little film strips ready to replay at any moment.
so i woke up to a barrage of messages: 'I'M IN TEARS....' , 'KING' and others. at first i felt nothing. i couldn't allow myself to feel anything. does it somehow feel selfish to mourn someone that you have never even spoken to, heard, or otherwise known? and yet i mourn for the potential he still holds and the pain that has cut that short. the truth that your youth is fleeting is one that is painful to grasp. yuzu's body has become a battleground between beautiful dreams and broken bones.
we may never see another figure skater like yuzuru hanyu. he is history. he is exceedingly brave in everything he does. he is brave in understanding when to stop. and that stopping doesn't necessarily mean goodbye. his retirement is a necessary change for him to continue growing away from the pressures of the competitive arena. this marks the end of an era. but also the beginning of a new one. congratulations yuzuru hanyu. and thank you.
