#Yuzuruhanyu
leaves nothing to chance with an extraordinary determination to learn his new
program Seimei to perfection. He controls most of the elements and internalizes
with passion.
To perform Seimei, an Astrology legend in the Heinan era, he
visited the shrine in Kyoto at age 20, talked with an Onmologist and actor
Nomura Mansai, master of Kyogen and listened to inputs on simplicity and
meaning of movements (Docu 15.11.15).
To get into the spirit of Seimei he worked on
the choreography with Shae-Lyn Bourne, costume inspired by the habit of the
character, music meticulously to pace and to highlight the drama and lastly,
the artistry and technical of the movement to convey the story.

Watching him perform the 2015 and 2018 Free
Skate program, I appreciate Yuzuru’s winning performance with a Japanese
heritage even more. As Yuruzu mentions in his interview, adopting a Japanese
material to his program will give him a winning edge.
Amidst the foot ligament injury, the clean performance of
Javi who preceded before him at the 2017 ISU Grand Prix in Barcelona , and the
jeering crowd who would not pay attention to him, #Yuzuruhanyu faced the
hurdles and overcame himself. Through control and a mental calculation on how
to score to beat his own record. Yuzuru shares with us generously his insights
revealing to us what makes a champion. View it here at https://vimeo.com/235626067 a docu last
