Encounter with unknown #3

Meeting with Mr. Hanyu

He run towards to the edge of stage by following audience seatings, I told him “You greeted me at NHK red-white song battle before” as I was shaking hand, he replied to me “Sure, I do remember that!” with full of Yuzu smile.

I heard from a staff later
He stayed in a seat for a long time while I was doing my sound check, rehearsing my songs and he was moving his body to check his choreography.
Even that episode can reveal who the Mr. Yuzuru Hanyu is.

As for the Mr. Yuzuru Hanyu,
The songs I wrote
Crystal Memories
Masquerade
It is indescribable
Incredible performer
Super human artist

He came towards me after the first song, CRYSTAL MEMORIES
He questioned suddenly “ Anything you want to do or anything bothers you?”

I was flattered
And I could only bow my head to him

Mr. Hanyu was bowing his head in return also

何度も何度も頭の下げ愛💓
We kept repeating bowing head
*He used Love💓(Ai 愛) for Sageai(both parties bowing),

Overflowing sweat was dripping as if it was a fall from Yuzu’s face

After this he changed costume to Masquerade

“ I will make it quick, Could you wait for me a bit, Please excuse me!”
“ Take your time, please get some rest”

However, he run back to the rink energized not even in 10 min

Performance with all his might
as if he shaved up his soul

Did he smash his glove at the end?
I had no idea what just happened.

I came to know it was part of his performance later on.
He came closer to the stage with lightning speed
with overflowing sweat dripping

“It was amazing, thank you!” I screamed without thinking,
“It was just a rehearsal today. I will do much better tomorrow. Pardon me!”

He keep bowing many many times
I did the same because I don’t like to lose this battle of bowing

頭の下げ愛
Bowing together
(Ai for love💕 )

“Please have a good rest”
“ Yes, thank you very much! I am looking forward to work with you tomorrow and on!”

Pleasant with cheerfulness
Respects and makes people feel good endlessly

His expression with his full of passion when he performs

It is totally different from his sharpened behavior
Soft, friendly, lovable
The GAP
I got to learn fro him
Makuhari performance was aired tonight on BS Asahi, how did you like it?
Yuzu’s words from interview at the end

I am overwhelmed by gratefulness

Thank you Yuzu
Thank you Yuzu
Thank you Yuzu

I said it 3 times because it is that important!

And finally
Starting this Friday
Yuzu’s hometown
In Sendai!
I have no doubt it will be so exciting!
I am really looking forward to it!
