Prologue (2022)
Yuzuru Hanyu did it!
Prologue in HACHINOHE also won the Original Program Award in the 13th Satellite Broadcasting Association in Japan on 21 July 2023.
I watch the show Live at Yokohama, the very first day of the 5 shows. I didn't know what to expect because it's a first solo skating show in history. The 6 minutes warm up concept totally caught me off guard. I didn't expect the full lighting as part of the format. Most ice show will have dim lighting.
The music video included in between the live performance was a wonderful idea. No one left with dry eyes after the music video Sasanqua by Sekai No Owari. All the songs choices by Yuzuru was perfect.
A must watch for figure skating fans.
Yuzuru Hanyu Ice Story GIFT at Tokyo Dome (2023)
Once is never enough
Watching once is never enough. The production is massive. I have watched at least 5 times in 6 days. Prior to the show Yuzuru did not give out any hint on what the show will be like, it is a surprise for everyone. So watching it the first time we didnt know what to expect. Yuzuru always surprise his fans and GIFT is also another surprise.
The live music from Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra was just marvellous. The monologue narrated by Yuzuru Hanyu suited the whole scene perfectly. You will be in awe as this is not just any ordinary ice show but a movie. Yuzuru Hanyu have totally transform how an ice show should be. GIFT will be a reference in years to come in figure skating and ice show.
