“If ‘Yuzuru Hanyu’ were to challenge 4.5 or 5 revolutions… I will definitely make them a part of my expression… Because that is my style“ (14:00)

One of the most enjoyable interviews I have ever watched ― Yuzu’s brilliance and quick wit were on full display during this 50-minute press conference, his fifth media outing that day. I am 100% in agreement with the gushing report from JNPC of the event, translation included below. Apologies for the tardiness and the video quality, Youtube/Asahi blocked all other versions and we have tried 10, 20 of them. It is worth the wait though, the press conference was just THAT GOOD. As always, much love + respect to @tadakixd, thanks for working together with me :3 ― gladi

It was a great press conference. I’ve been part of the planning committee for 8 years, dealing with sports-related press conferences at the club, but never have I seen as perfect a speaker. Taking a mix of brilliant and some not-so-brilliant questions in stride, he shone like a diamond – his answers brimming with confidence and ready wit.

According to staff of the secretariat overlooking the venue from above, the full house of reporters and club members hung onto Hanyu’s every word, nodding their heads in unison. His performance on ice draws the audiences from the stands into his own world. It was the same here.
