[@hbattagl]

Hanyu performed this at a charity show after the 2011 tsunami that killed nearly 20,000 people in his hometown and surrounding areas. He said that it was when he saw the audience all on their feet cheering for him, some in tears, that he finally found his purpose in continuing figure skating. To me his expression at the beginning of the program shows the pain, sadness and uncertainty that he said he felt when he looked up the sky on that darkest night; when so many stars were shining brightly because there was no city light. I am so thankful that he looked up and kept pursuing his dream. Please be safe, healthy and peaceful, Yuzuru Hanyu.

[@sichengbestboy9667]

yeah, that feeling is horrible. in my country we're in a bad situation economically, and the pandemic didn't help, so I think I can relate to that thing of watching at the sky and feeling sadness, pain and scariness, but reading this brings me hope about a new shining sky in the future!

[@hbattagl]

@@sichengbestboy9667 Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Yes. no matter how dark the night is, stars shine and the morning will always come. So many people lost their loved ones on that day (I did too) but they are moving forward. Please stay safe, healthy and peaceful.

[@hanimamanah2738]

@@hbattaglHe truly spreads hope for everyone. It is not easy to heal traumatic experiences. I remember the big earthquake and tsunami that hit my home country in 2006. We are not like Japan which has an early warning system, so at that time we lost more than 200,000 people. Yes, I know the feeling. In the dark of night, we still have stars in the sky. But I really admire Yuzu. He works hard and never gives up, being an inspiration to others. Always committed to contributing to the reconstruction of Sendai (his hometown)

[@estridwu6534]

I really love your interpretation. I saw beautiful, fragile creatures struggling to survive and live though in extremely tough situations in this program. It is so touching. And I really wanna cry. Though he was only19 that time, his performance was already so touching. And I just love the sit twizzles at the end of this program. It is just like the beautiful swan, feeling tired and taking a rest on the lake after all there sufferings.

If you are able to feel and express the music like this at 17, you are born to be on that ice. That is why 8 years later he is still the greatest of all time. Unmatched.

[@sina8948]

i think he is 19 in this but it doesn’t change the fact that he is the GOAT

[@michelle6472]

As a ballerina, I immediately recognized this music. He's not only a skater and athlete, but also an artist. The way he uses his hands and extends them so elegantly reminds me of a dancer. Once he's on ice, he becomes an angel of skating.

[@evahiggins7872]

Could u please tell me what piece of music this is?

[@michelle6472]

@@evahiggins7872 It's a remixed version of the Swan Lake: Swan Theme by Tchaikovsky. I hope this helps :)

[@scaraa__mouche]

Yessss, I used to do ballet myself and I jumped when I heard this song

[@TheFergiepop]

Yuzuru has the clarity that figure skating is not just jumps, but elegance, sequence of steps, costume and choice of music. What is FIGURE SKATING? Figure skating is everything Yuzuru Hanyu includes in his performances. As a commentator once said: Yuzuru is poetry in skating, while other skaters are just strength in jumping and nothing else. The ISU has a lot to learn.

[@BoBoHaven]

In his autobiography, he also mentioned skating is a means to deliver message. ie to conduct a direct communication with audiences all over the world. By so doing, a connection is just made. Thus his many routines, be it for competition or exhibition gala, touch our hearts and souls so deeply and profoundly.

[@mayviam7727]

Where I can read his biography?

[@gulnursonmez9539]

And the precision to the music or being in harmony, in synchronicity with the music. He is the best... He is born to skate...

[@moma-b]

He definitely brought something into figure skating what nobody could before him and probably nobody will ever be able to do after him, purely because human bodies have physical limitations. He became a legend as an amateur skater and he continues to be a legend as a professional skater, free from rules and regulations and unjust scoring.

I'm so impressed with this short but beautiful performance. He just looks like a swan trying to spread its wings in the storm. I was immersed in the music, the movements of his arms, the moving spin (I don't know how to call it lol), and they all matched perfectly with one another. It is such a regret not knowing him until the Beijing Olympics. Digging all his information from the early stage to today has become my daily joy. I am just one out of millions of fans or nonfans who is inspired by his journey to becoming a G.O.A.T and his way of keeping going on and on until now. I will pray for his recovery and staying healthy to obtain his dream of the 4A, to fight his way to break the human limit, and hopefully, we can see him in the next and the next Olympics. ❤️❤️❤️
