But I had a name.

There were things I liked.

But there were many things I couldn't do.

30
00:04:21,594 --> 00:04:25,832
However, slowly but surely,

31
00:04:26,733 --> 00:04:28,334
I could do more.

32
00:04:30,136 --> 00:04:33,306
And every time, the world became warmer.

33
00:04:35,041 --> 00:04:37,710

44
00:06:26,252 --> 00:06:29,422
I loved that the world
was becoming warmer.

45
00:06:31,424 --> 00:06:35,027
That world overflowed with kind words.

46
00:06:36,796 --> 00:06:37,797
"Amazing!"

47
00:06:38,297 --> 00:06:39,298

49
00:06:42,568 --> 00:06:47,340
One day, I found the warmest place
in that world.

50
00:06:48,941 --> 00:06:51,878
It became my dream.

51
00:06:53,713 --> 00:06:56,249
"When will it come true?"

52
00:06:57,617 --> 00:06:59,185
"It will surely come true, eventually."

53
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,422
I heard a voice in my head.

54
00:07:03,756 --> 00:07:06,259
"Why would you say that?"

55
00:07:08,027 --> 00:07:11,097
"Because you want it to come true,
don't you?"

56
00:07:12,198 --> 00:07:15,501
"Yes, I want it to come true."

57
00:07:16,936 --> 00:07:18,805
"Then it definitely will.

58
00:07:19,672 --> 00:07:22,909
Because you don't like to fail."

59
00:07:24,310 --> 00:07:25,778
And with those words,

60
00:07:25,845 --> 00:07:29,916
the mysterious voice
in my head disappeared.

61
00:07:29,982 --> 00:07:33,252
[upbeat music playing]

62
00:07:33,820 --> 00:07:37,156
I still hadn't noticed the many feelings

63
00:07:38,524 --> 00:07:43,362
and lives of the living things around me.

64
00:07:44,730 --> 00:07:47,900
But I loved nature,

65
00:07:49,068 --> 00:07:52,705
basking in the sunlight
that makes the water sparkle.

66
00:07:54,774 --> 00:07:56,642
Then one day, I noticed something.

67
00:07:58,144 --> 00:08:00,713
Although every day they were always there,

68
00:08:00,780 --> 00:08:03,249
I realized they were suddenly much bigger,

69
00:08:04,083 --> 00:08:06,285
and I felt a little envious of them
for easily growing,

70
00:08:06,986 --> 00:08:12,692
seemingly without putting in much effort.

71
00:08:14,660 --> 00:08:16,696
I was working so hard.

72
00:08:16,762 --> 00:08:17,763
It wasn't fair.

73
00:08:20,099 --> 00:08:22,435
Why couldn't I do better than now?

74
00:08:24,103 --> 00:08:25,671
The grass spoke.

75
00:08:26,339 --> 00:08:31,477
"When I grow, I blossom into a flower!

76
00:08:33,112 --> 00:08:36,849
And then the world becomes warmer."

77
00:08:39,118 --> 00:08:40,620
How nice.

78
00:08:40,686 --> 00:08:42,455
The grass doesn't seem to struggle at all.

79
00:08:43,589 --> 00:08:45,625
It doesn't have to try hard at all.

80
00:08:45,691 --> 00:08:47,894
Even though I'm trying so hard.

81
00:08:49,562 --> 00:08:53,366
"Hey, how can you achieve
your dream so easily?

82
00:08:53,432 --> 00:08:55,001
I want mine to come true, too!"

83
00:08:56,702 --> 00:08:59,872
"It's because of the sun!

84
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,976
It gives me so much energy!"

85
00:09:05,478 --> 00:09:08,414
The sun… That's nice.

86
00:09:09,215 --> 00:09:11,183
I want to be like the sun!

87
00:09:12,051 --> 00:09:14,787
I want to be like the sun,
giving everybody energy

88
00:09:14,854 --> 00:09:16,889
and making the world warmer for everyone!

89
00:09:18,824 --> 00:09:21,594
But why isn't the sun always with us?

90
00:09:22,695 --> 00:09:24,931
At night, it becomes dark.

91
00:09:26,332 --> 00:09:30,169
Ah ha! The moon must be the villain.

92
00:09:30,236 --> 00:09:31,671
I'll go get him!

93
00:09:33,839 --> 00:09:35,541
"Hey, moon!

94
00:09:37,009 --> 00:09:39,278
Why do you hide the sun?"

95
00:09:41,447 --> 00:09:46,919
"I love and cherish the sun."

96
00:09:48,254 --> 00:09:49,689
"What?

97
00:09:49,789 --> 00:09:52,124
You don't hide the sun
because you despise it?"

98
00:09:54,594 --> 00:09:58,831
"The sun won't always provide energy.

99
00:10:00,666 --> 00:10:03,936
I can't shine on my own,

100
00:10:04,971 --> 00:10:07,306
but the sun gives me light.

101
00:10:08,074 --> 00:10:11,444
That's why I can do this."

102
00:10:14,614 --> 00:10:17,483
A rainbow formed around the moon.

103
00:10:18,985 --> 00:10:20,286
It was so beautiful.

104
00:10:21,420 --> 00:10:24,223
And very fleeting.

105
00:10:24,790 --> 00:10:27,927
My heart was filled with warmth.

106
00:10:29,395 --> 00:10:31,430
It was then I noticed something.

107
00:10:32,131 --> 00:10:35,401
The moon has many scars.

108
00:10:37,103 --> 00:10:40,439
They look very painful and agonizing.

109
00:10:43,542 --> 00:10:44,744
"Do you hurt?

110
00:10:46,078 --> 00:10:47,546
How do you keep trying hard?"

111
00:10:50,116 --> 00:10:51,350
"When night comes,

112
00:10:52,351 --> 00:10:54,220
everyone can see me.

113
00:10:55,988 --> 00:10:57,723
There's nothing tough about it.

114
00:10:59,025 --> 00:11:00,292
Because this is me."

115
00:11:03,462 --> 00:11:05,798
I was blown away.

116
00:11:07,500 --> 00:11:12,038
I wanted to become strong
and impressive like the moon.

117
00:11:15,074 --> 00:11:18,978
There were many times afterward
that were tough and sad

118
00:11:19,045 --> 00:11:20,479
and made me want to quit,

119
00:11:21,414 --> 00:11:22,515
but I kept trying.

120
00:11:23,849 --> 00:11:26,285
But there's still so much I can't do.

121
00:11:27,953 --> 00:11:29,388
I should've known.

122
00:11:30,056 --> 00:11:31,190
But I'm going to keep trying.

123
00:11:31,257 --> 00:11:32,525
I will succeed.

124
00:11:34,627 --> 00:11:39,231
It was like being stuck forever
in a dark tunnel.

125
00:11:41,233 --> 00:11:45,504
But there were several places
in that tunnel where the light entered.

126
00:11:46,505 --> 00:11:49,341
Morning gave way to night,

127
00:11:49,408 --> 00:11:52,011
and again to morning,
and soon night again.

128
00:11:52,645 --> 00:11:54,180
Every day was like that.

129
00:11:56,415 --> 00:12:00,252
When I traveled through that tunnel,
I was alone.

130
00:12:01,187 --> 00:12:02,655
But that was a good thing.

131
00:12:03,789 --> 00:12:05,524
I have something to cherish!

132
00:12:06,959 --> 00:12:09,829
It was a flash of a dream.

133
00:12:11,130 --> 00:12:14,767
It's what's important to me.

134
00:12:14,834 --> 00:12:16,569
I clung tightly to it
and continued forward.

135
00:12:17,636 --> 00:12:19,138
Ceaselessly onward.

136
00:12:19,205 --> 00:12:20,906
Onward, onward!

137
00:12:20,973 --> 00:12:24,310
I ran and ran forward
with all my strength.

00:12:26,445 --> 00:12:27,446
Before I knew it,

139

No, it's fun!

That's right! It's fun!

143
00:12:47,867 --> 00:12:51,570
Always cherish
what you don't want to lose.

144
00:12:51,637 --> 00:12:56,142
Clasp it tightly and never let go.

145
00:12:57,409 --> 00:13:01,113
Because you have a dream
you want to achieve!

146
00:13:01,647 --> 00:13:04,083
Because that's impressive!

147
00:13:04,683 --> 00:13:07,153

00:20:52,651 --> 00:20:55,721
Tears spilled out again.

189
00:21:00,325 --> 00:21:04,529
The tears I'd been hiding all this time.

190
00:21:12,104 --> 00:21:13,438
I tried my best…

191
00:21:15,540 --> 00:21:17,109
but why did they go away?

192
00:21:20,879 --> 00:21:22,781
It was a very, very cold night.

193
00:21:28,754 --> 00:21:32,958
In place of what I cherished
was empty space.

194
00:21:38,930 --> 00:21:40,499

196
00:21:54,813 --> 00:21:59,951

put life back into what I cherish.

202
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,476

Why do you think so?

426
00:59:54,157 --> 00:59:57,360
[automated voice] Because if I can't,
then what's the point?

427

Because I'm the one who can do it!

428

And if I can't do it,

You're convinced you can do it.

But no, that's not true.

433
01:00:19,182 --> 01:00:20,817
You just want to be able to do it.

434
01:00:22,185 --> 01:00:23,519
And if you can't do it,

435
01:00:24,554 --> 01:00:26,322
then what's the point of living?

436
01:00:28,157 --> 01:00:30,693
No one needs me.

437
01:00:32,428 --> 01:00:33,429
Now I get it.

438
01:00:36,766 --> 01:00:37,834
When was it?

439
01:00:38,501 --> 01:00:42,305
When I had fun doing what I like?

440
01:00:44,874 --> 01:00:48,344
When was it
when it had to be more than that?

441
01:00:49,979 --> 01:00:54,751
When was it when I stopped liking
and enjoying what I do?

442
01:00:59,455 --> 01:01:02,792
The struggle became too much
and it messed with my head.

443

I don't want to think about anything.

444
01:01:06,596 --> 01:01:07,830
Everything is a distraction.

445
01:01:10,366 --> 01:01:12,435
I do more than I can.

01:01:13,236 --> 01:01:15,038
It never stops.

It never ends.

448
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:19,108
I keep doing what I couldn't before.

449
01:01:21,811 --> 01:01:23,446
That's what I do.

450
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:25,515
I'm always…

451
01:01:27,016 --> 01:01:28,951
being more than me.

452
01:01:31,654 --> 01:01:33,289

453

Even though I put in everything…

454
01:01:38,594 --> 01:01:42,098
How long did it take
for me to get this far?

455
01:01:45,001 --> 01:01:46,836
How much effort have I put in?

456
01:01:48,404 --> 01:01:49,939
Even I don't know.

457
01:01:51,107 --> 01:01:53,309
You wonder what the point of living is
if you can't do it?

458
01:01:54,110 --> 01:01:57,714
And that nobody needs you?

459
01:01:59,315 --> 01:02:01,117
Is that really what you think?

460
01:02:06,923 --> 01:02:08,257
[automatic voice] I have to do it.

461
01:02:09,392 --> 01:02:10,993

Nobody helped me do it.

466
01:02:23,339 --> 01:02:26,275
I merely put in the time
and the physical and mental effort.

467
01:02:28,244 --> 01:02:32,782
I simply consumed the energy
in my heart and mind.

468
01:02:34,117 --> 01:02:35,251
To get this far,

469
01:02:36,352 --> 01:02:38,154
that's what I've done.

470
01:02:40,590 --> 01:02:42,759
There was not a single beautiful thing.

471
01:02:43,626 --> 01:02:46,362
I am suffering so much,

472
01:02:46,429 --> 01:02:47,930
so much, so much.

473
01:02:47,997 --> 01:02:50,199
I am struggling so much.

01:02:51,300 --> 01:02:54,170
I've been fighting fate
with single-minded purpose.

475
01:02:56,773 --> 01:02:58,574
I don't want to hurt anybody.

I don't want anybody to get hurt.

I don't want anybody to lose that hope.

478

I want to be the ideal me.

That's the reason to become strong.

So I can be me.

01:17:29,311 --> 01:17:30,779
In your melancholy,

560
01:17:31,380 --> 01:17:33,515
you don't want to go anywhere
or do anything.

561
01:17:36,084 --> 01:17:39,721
"But why is there a door over there?"

562
01:17:42,691 --> 01:17:46,461
It's the door you put up.

563
01:17:47,763 --> 01:17:49,331
There is no keyhole,

564
01:17:50,098 --> 01:17:51,533
the doorknob is broken,

565
01:17:52,134 --> 01:17:53,502
there are nails in it,

566
01:17:54,069 --> 01:17:55,537
and it's falling apart,

567
01:17:57,406 --> 01:17:59,474
but the one who put the door there

568
01:18:00,142 --> 01:18:01,376
is you.

569
01:18:04,780 --> 01:18:06,448
You are not special.

570
01:18:08,283 --> 01:18:10,819
"I" am nothing special.

571
01:18:12,721 --> 01:18:15,490
We're weak and falling apart.

572
01:18:16,658 --> 01:18:19,227
Even if we gasp our last breath,

573
01:18:19,294 --> 01:18:21,396
the world will move on just fine.

574
01:18:22,898 --> 01:18:25,100
Neither you nor I…

575
01:18:27,069 --> 01:18:28,537
are special.

576
01:18:30,972 --> 01:18:32,407
Why?

577
01:18:32,474 --> 01:18:36,044
Because each and every person is a life.

578
01:18:37,546 --> 01:18:41,216
Each of us sees
the world's colors differently.

579
01:18:42,217 --> 01:18:45,854
We see our world one way.

580
01:18:46,955 --> 01:18:50,826
At some point, you and I

581
01:18:51,760 --> 01:18:54,229
will start to see different colors.

582
01:18:56,098 --> 01:18:58,500
While I'm looking from over here,

583
01:18:59,735 --> 01:19:03,839
you have been adding
many, many more colors.

584
01:19:05,207 --> 01:19:09,778
That's why you are who you are now.

585
01:19:11,713 --> 01:19:15,250
You worked and worked
so hard to build it up.

586
01:19:17,219 --> 01:19:19,221
But it is easily destroyed.

587
01:19:20,222 --> 01:19:21,957
And it is easily sullied.

588
01:19:22,958 --> 01:19:25,594
Because that's your color.

589
01:19:26,962 --> 01:19:29,631
Because you've taken care of yourself,

590
01:19:29,698 --> 01:19:31,566
even though you're soaked in tears,

591
01:19:32,334 --> 01:19:34,302
you look bad, you got hurt,

592
01:19:35,470 --> 01:19:38,006
and all you can do is hide.

593
01:19:40,041 --> 01:19:44,246
Because that is you,
that is precious, and that is true.

594
01:19:45,847 --> 01:19:48,083
Even if you didn't take care of yourself…

595
01:19:49,084 --> 01:19:51,319
"I would take care of you.

596
01:19:52,921 --> 01:19:55,490
It's okay now.

597
01:19:57,325 --> 01:20:00,529
But it's already time."

598
01:20:02,697 --> 01:20:04,166
I scream 'til I'm hoarse.

599
01:20:05,967 --> 01:20:07,035
Don't go.

600
01:20:07,969 --> 01:20:09,504
Don't disappear.

601
01:20:10,005 --> 01:20:11,706
I don't like being alone.

602
01:20:12,541 --> 01:20:13,809
I won't hurt anyone.

603
01:20:14,376 --> 01:20:15,877
I'll stay perfect,

604
01:20:15,944 --> 01:20:17,579
and I'll be the me who can do it right,

605
01:20:19,614 --> 01:20:22,117
so don't leave me alone.

606
01:20:25,587 --> 01:20:27,088
"It's already time.

607
01:20:28,924 --> 01:20:31,726
It's time to say farewell.

608
01:20:34,396 --> 01:20:36,665
We can't always be together.

609
01:20:36,965 --> 01:20:38,366
Nothing lasts forever.

610
01:20:39,801 --> 01:20:43,939
Because I am one of your dreams.

611
01:20:45,340 --> 01:20:48,443
You have to awaken from a dream.

612
01:20:51,079 --> 01:20:52,714
I'm taking my leave."

613
01:20:54,749 --> 01:20:56,418
The chains that bound us

614
01:20:57,452 --> 01:20:58,920
have been broken to pieces.

615
01:20:59,654 --> 01:21:00,956
I'm free.

616
01:21:03,225 --> 01:21:04,860
I wonder what happens

617
01:21:06,194 --> 01:21:07,329
after the chains break.

618
01:21:08,830 --> 01:21:11,900
There is not a thing left.

619
01:21:13,969 --> 01:21:16,805
The dream is over.

620
01:21:20,542 --> 01:21:24,246
I have to walk on without looking back.

621
01:21:26,281 --> 01:21:27,649
I have to move forward

622
01:21:29,017 --> 01:21:30,151
so I don't remember.

623
01:21:32,420 --> 01:21:33,555
My head hurts.

624
01:21:34,623 --> 01:21:35,724
My heart hurts.

625
01:21:38,426 --> 01:21:41,796
What just disappeared?

626
01:21:44,633 --> 01:21:47,802
And why did it disappear?

627
01:21:52,674 --> 01:21:55,944
I just have tears running down my cheeks.

628
01:21:58,713 --> 01:22:00,148
This was me.

629
01:22:02,117 --> 01:22:03,652
I couldn't do anything.

630
01:22:05,287 --> 01:22:06,521

Even so,

any of you anymore,

but there you were.

671
01:29:09,877 --> 01:29:12,747

alone.

676
01:29:30,431 --> 01:29:32,600

That which I cherished isn't anywhere.

I felt I could do anything if only you,

680
01:29:47,448 --> 01:29:50,318
Every day, there was suffering.

681
01:29:51,519 --> 01:29:53,121
There was joy.

682
01:29:55,356 --> 01:29:59,994
There was laughter, anger, and tears.

683
01:30:01,195 --> 01:30:03,664
There was loneliness and sadness.

684
01:30:05,733 --> 01:30:08,669
But what I cherished

685
01:30:10,138 --> 01:30:11,873
was always at my side,

686
01:30:13,141 --> 01:30:14,642
and it always seemed perfectly natural.

687
01:30:18,446 --> 01:30:20,381
I tried my best at everything.

688
01:30:20,448 --> 01:30:23,317
Was I always alone? No.

689
01:30:25,586 --> 01:30:28,489
I chose to be alone.

690
01:30:30,425 --> 01:30:31,426
But,

691
01:30:32,560 --> 01:30:34,395
we were always, always together.

692
01:30:35,530 --> 01:30:36,964
I cherished it.

693
01:30:39,100 --> 01:30:40,401
But at some point,

694
01:30:41,068 --> 01:30:42,703
I stopped cherishing it.

695
01:30:44,439 --> 01:30:45,807
I blamed you, the other me,

696
01:30:46,808 --> 01:30:48,209
for my inability.

697
01:30:49,811 --> 01:30:52,814

I wasn't the only one.

700
01:31:02,557 --> 01:31:06,527

701
01:31:07,728 --> 01:31:11,299
Not being able to walk together.

702
01:31:13,901 --> 01:31:15,403
I always wanted to be together.

703
01:31:16,737 --> 01:31:20,107
I wanted to be together forever.

I…

705
01:31:25,146 --> 01:31:26,147
am alone.

706
01:31:32,987 --> 01:31:34,288
"You are not alone."

707
01:31:35,423 --> 01:31:37,892
I think I can hear you.

708

710
01:31:47,168 --> 01:31:50,338
Don't cover up your lonesomeness.

711
01:31:52,240 --> 01:31:56,511
Always acknowledge
the loneliness inside you.

712
01:31:59,680 --> 01:32:00,948
I know you, the other me.

713
01:32:02,216 --> 01:32:05,920
You are always strong,
but that's okay now.

because it's tough.

716
01:32:16,297 --> 01:32:19,667
they wouldn't leave me alone.

02:12:19,064 --> 02:12:20,966
[staff 1] Good work!

938
02:12:21,033 --> 02:12:22,567
[staff 2] Good work.

939
02:12:22,634 --> 02:12:24,269
[staffs] Well done!

940
02:12:25,570 --> 02:12:26,905
Good work!

941
02:12:26,972 --> 02:12:27,973
Good work!

942
02:12:32,077 --> 02:12:33,111
This is from us all!

943
02:12:33,178 --> 02:12:35,514
-[staff 2] Yay!
-[applause]

944
02:12:35,580 --> 02:12:37,182
[Yuzuru] Thank you!

945
02:12:38,483 --> 02:12:41,019
-Well done!
-[staff 2 cheers]

946
02:12:41,086 --> 02:12:43,789
-[staff 3] Well done!
-[Yuzuru] Thank you!

947
02:12:44,589 --> 02:12:48,527
It was really…

948
02:12:48,593 --> 02:12:53,298
It was the first-ever ice show
at Tokyo Dome.

949
02:12:53,365 --> 02:12:58,770
In the season before this one,

950
02:12:58,837 --> 02:13:04,476
when I had my first solo ice show,
I was unsure whether I could pull it off.

951
02:13:04,543 --> 02:13:07,913
That's how it was when making this show.

952
02:13:07,980 --> 02:13:10,816
I'm sure there was
a lot of anxiety and work involved

953
02:13:10,882 --> 02:13:13,552
in making the performances
connecting my programs.

954
02:13:13,618 --> 02:13:16,588
So I'm so thankful to everyone
for making this come together.

955
02:13:16,655 --> 02:13:19,324
-I hope…
-[staff 4] Thank you!

956
02:13:19,424 --> 02:13:21,460
[Yuzuru] I discovered new possibilities

957
02:13:21,526 --> 02:13:23,862
and areas of improvement for myself.

958
02:13:23,929 --> 02:13:26,832
And I felt I could do much more.

959
02:13:26,898 --> 02:13:31,169
So if there is another opportunity,
I hope I can work with you again!

960
02:13:31,236 --> 02:13:33,505
-Thank you.
-Thank you.

961
02:13:34,306 --> 02:13:36,208
Well, I'm going to my interview, then.

962
02:13:36,274 --> 02:13:38,810
-[staff 4] Good luck!
-Thank you!

963
02:13:38,877 --> 02:13:40,579

YUZURU HANYU'S REFLECTION
ON THE SPECIAL DAY

967
02:13:56,528 --> 02:14:01,066
THE DAY AFTER GIFT

968
02:14:01,133 --> 02:14:04,369
Hello. Thank you for having me.

969
02:14:04,436 --> 02:14:06,738
Did it focus properly?

970
02:14:07,205 --> 02:14:09,374
-[interviewer] Please take a seat.
-Thank you.

971
02:14:09,441 --> 02:14:10,876
This kind of thing.

972
02:14:14,913 --> 02:14:17,149
I really gave it my all.

973
02:14:17,215 --> 02:14:23,155
I feel like, "Oh, it's finally over."

974
02:14:23,221 --> 02:14:27,592
I received many different responses
from a lot of people.

975
02:14:27,659 --> 02:14:33,865
Of course, the people who have been
supporting me for so long

976
02:14:33,932 --> 02:14:40,505
gave me lots of great feedback.

977
02:14:40,572 --> 02:14:44,443
But I also received feedback from people

978
02:14:44,509 --> 02:14:48,080
who had never seen me skate before.

979
02:14:48,146 --> 02:14:53,552
And from people who came to the show,
not because they were interested in me,

980
02:14:53,618 --> 02:14:58,623
but to see this new form
of entertainment at Tokyo Dome.

981
02:14:59,257 --> 02:15:02,494
Their reactions were quite different.

982
02:15:03,128 --> 02:15:04,963
The reactions from fans
went along the lines of,

983
02:15:05,030 --> 02:15:07,332
"So this is what
Yuzuru Hanyu has been thinking,"

984
02:15:07,699 --> 02:15:10,769
"This is what Hanyu has been feeling,"

985
02:15:10,836 --> 02:15:14,840
or "So this is what
he's been feeling at these moments."

986
02:15:14,906 --> 02:15:19,177
But some non-skating fans took this story,

987
02:15:19,244 --> 02:15:23,882
not as my story, but as their own.

988
02:15:23,949 --> 02:15:28,553
And seeing these reactions
also made me happy.

989
02:15:29,621 --> 02:15:32,390
To me, "GIFT" is something like a dream…

990
02:15:32,457 --> 02:15:33,458
"THE MESSAGE IN GIFT"

991
02:15:33,525 --> 02:15:36,962
…that I was given by everyone.

992
02:15:37,028 --> 02:15:39,798
Overall, the message is that

993
02:15:39,865 --> 02:15:43,635
I'm receiving so much support
from everyone

994
02:15:43,702 --> 02:15:46,605
and living together with them.

995
02:15:47,939 --> 02:15:51,309
I think this is true for most people.

996
02:15:51,376 --> 02:15:55,113
They're surrounded
and supported by many people.

997
02:15:55,180 --> 02:15:59,384
But I know for a fact there are people
out there who feel like they're all alone,

998
02:16:00,051 --> 02:16:01,953
myself included.

999
02:16:02,487 --> 02:16:05,056
I even brood sometimes about
what would happen

1000
02:16:05,123 --> 02:16:07,526
if I couldn't skate anymore.

1001
02:16:08,793 --> 02:16:10,862
So I wanted…

1002
02:16:12,864 --> 02:16:15,066
to assure people
who feel like they're alone that,

1003
02:16:15,133 --> 02:16:17,202
"No, you have friends."

1004
02:16:19,237 --> 02:16:23,175
[Yuzuru] This story and these programs

1005
02:16:24,776 --> 02:16:27,245
are your friends.

1006
02:16:29,514 --> 02:16:30,749
My hope is that

1007
02:16:31,783 --> 02:16:36,288
this story I wrote

1008
02:16:36,354 --> 02:16:39,791
and these programs

1009
02:16:39,858 --> 02:16:41,526
will encourage people.

1010
02:16:41,593 --> 02:16:45,564
This is my gift to everyone.

1011
02:16:48,200 --> 02:16:50,669
I prepared it with the wish

1012
02:16:52,437 --> 02:16:57,576
that it would give hope to people.

1013
02:16:58,176 --> 02:17:02,614
I thought of telling this story

1014
02:17:02,681 --> 02:17:07,319
because I myself have been encouraged
by different songs and lyrics.

1015
02:17:07,385 --> 02:17:08,687
THE REASON FOR WRITING THIS STORY

1016
02:17:09,221 --> 02:17:11,590
Whenever I was going through a hard time,

1017
02:17:11,656 --> 02:17:15,427
it was the power of words
that saved me the most.

1018
02:17:15,493 --> 02:17:17,662
It was words I poured out

1019
02:17:17,729 --> 02:17:21,666
and words from songs

1020
02:17:21,733 --> 02:17:24,636
that helped me keep going.

1021
02:17:25,470 --> 02:17:27,172
When I wrote this story,

1022
02:17:28,707 --> 02:17:32,177
I thought maybe it could encourage others

1023
02:17:32,244 --> 02:17:36,848
in the same way
I've been encouraged by these songs.

1024
02:17:37,549 --> 02:17:39,451
So I started collecting my ideas.

1025
02:17:39,517 --> 02:17:44,222
Sometimes, I jotted them down
on a scrap of paper.

1026
02:17:44,956 --> 02:17:47,492
When I didn't have
the energy to do even that,

1027
02:17:48,927 --> 02:17:51,930
I just gave vent to my thoughts
and recorded it.

1028
02:17:51,997 --> 02:17:58,003
At other times, I took
little notes on my phone.

1029
02:17:59,137 --> 02:18:02,607
So these words are definitely
based on my experiences.

1030
02:18:03,074 --> 02:18:05,377
And I poured out these words

1031
02:18:06,111 --> 02:18:11,082
to help myself think more positively.

1032
02:18:11,983 --> 02:18:16,154
But they definitely don't reflect
my experiences alone.

1033
02:18:16,955 --> 02:18:20,058
If anything, I wrote this story

1034
02:18:20,125 --> 02:18:24,529
imagining that other people

1035
02:18:24,596 --> 02:18:27,766
must harbor these feelings
inside them, too.

1036
02:18:28,566 --> 02:18:31,369
I wanted to make this story

1037
02:18:31,436 --> 02:18:35,607
something that would stay
in the hearts of others.

1038
02:18:35,674 --> 02:18:36,675
Mm.

1039
02:18:37,075 --> 02:18:39,244
The first half of the show…

1040
02:18:39,311 --> 02:18:40,445
ABOUT THE OVERALL COMPOSITION

1041
02:18:40,512 --> 02:18:45,317
For people who've been following me,

1042
02:18:45,383 --> 02:18:51,356
it depicts my life
from my birth to the Olympics

1043
02:18:51,423 --> 02:18:55,860
and my journey up to the Beijing Olympics.

1044
02:18:55,927 --> 02:18:59,998
In order to present it like a story,

1045
02:19:00,065 --> 02:19:03,268
I expressed it in an abstract way.

1046
02:19:04,202 --> 02:19:06,971
Part Two takes the opposite approach.

1047
02:19:07,038 --> 02:19:09,941
It's realistic instead of abstract.

1048
02:19:10,008 --> 02:19:14,546
It focuses on who I am

1049
02:19:14,612 --> 02:19:17,148
and digs deep into myself.

1050
02:19:17,816 --> 02:19:23,955
So the first half has
a fantasy element to it

1051
02:19:24,022 --> 02:19:28,693
while the second half
is grounded more in reality.

1052
02:19:28,760 --> 02:19:34,399
And I wanted to merge
these two together for the ending.

1053
02:19:34,466 --> 02:19:38,737
That's what I was aiming for
in presenting this show.

1054
02:19:39,804 --> 02:19:44,709
I think the second half
is a better reflection of who I am.

1055
02:19:44,776 --> 02:19:46,878
The first program
starts with "Let's Go Crazy"

1056
02:19:47,812 --> 02:19:49,481
and ends with "Let Me Entertain You."

1057
02:19:49,547 --> 02:19:51,616
["Let Me Entertain You"
by Robbie Williams playing]

1058
02:19:51,683 --> 02:19:56,287
[Yuzuru] "Let Me" is basically
about entertaining people,

1059
02:19:56,354 --> 02:19:57,655
so I tried to do that.

1060
02:19:58,189 --> 02:20:01,659
["Let Me Entertain You"
by Robbie Williams playing]

1061
02:20:10,969 --> 02:20:12,137
But…

1062
02:20:13,338 --> 02:20:16,040
I had doubts
while I was entertaining people.

1063
02:20:16,508 --> 02:20:19,010
Doubts like,
"Am I really enjoying myself?"

1064
02:20:21,279 --> 02:20:23,548
"I like skating, but do I really?"

1065
02:20:24,582 --> 02:20:27,318
And I thought expressing these doubts

1066
02:20:27,385 --> 02:20:33,124
after the program…

1067
02:20:34,993 --> 02:20:39,197
might add something different
to this fun program.

1068
02:20:39,264 --> 02:20:42,734
So I incorporated this into the story.

1069
02:20:42,801 --> 02:20:44,602
"Isn't it fun? Yes, I'm having fun."

1070
02:20:45,737 --> 02:20:47,939
[techno music playing]

1071
02:20:48,006 --> 02:20:50,241
[Yuzuru] It's fun! It's fun!

1072
02:20:51,309 --> 02:20:52,410
Is it fun?

1073
02:20:53,678 --> 02:20:55,146
Isn't it fun?

1074
02:20:56,781 --> 02:20:58,483
[automated voice] Yes, I'm having fun!

1075
02:21:02,454 --> 02:21:04,923
I can do it! I'll do my best!

1076
02:21:07,258 --> 02:21:09,327
[Yuzuru] Do you really think
you can do it?

1077
02:21:11,696 --> 02:21:12,697
I see.

1078
02:21:13,398 --> 02:21:15,300
You're convinced you can do it.

1079
02:21:17,235 --> 02:21:19,337
But no, that's not true.

1080
02:21:19,838 --> 02:21:21,339
You just want to pretend you can do it.

1081
02:21:23,074 --> 02:21:24,075
When was it?

1082
02:21:24,642 --> 02:21:28,446
When I had fun doing what I like?

1083
02:21:31,049 --> 02:21:34,352
When was it
when it had to be more than that?

1084
02:21:36,054 --> 02:21:41,092
When was it when I stopped liking
and enjoying what I do?

1085
02:21:41,993 --> 02:21:44,796
I'm sure everyone has the experience

1086
02:21:44,863 --> 02:21:48,700
of doing their jobs or hobbies
out of habit.

1087
02:21:49,434 --> 02:21:52,971
Even if you started it
because you liked it.

1088
02:21:53,938 --> 02:21:58,243
For example, when you're pressed
to meet a deadline

1089
02:22:00,011 --> 02:22:03,248
or when you're feeling down,

1090
02:22:03,314 --> 02:22:05,149
if someone asks if you enjoy
what you are doing,

1091
02:22:05,216 --> 02:22:08,386
you may not always be able to answer yes.

1092
02:22:08,453 --> 02:22:11,856
For me, it is skating.

1093
02:22:12,390 --> 02:22:16,361
To some, it may seem like a big deal.

1094
02:22:17,529 --> 02:22:22,867
But when you think about it,
it's no different from anyone else's life.

1095
02:22:24,269 --> 02:22:26,838
Everyone has something they like doing,

1096
02:22:27,705 --> 02:22:32,243
and moments when they wonder
if they really like it or enjoy it,

1097
02:22:32,310 --> 02:22:37,549
and moments when they have
to remind themselves that they do.

1098
02:22:37,615 --> 02:22:41,953
These are all the things
I wanted to express.

1099
02:22:42,020 --> 02:22:43,021
So…

1100
02:22:43,588 --> 02:22:46,124
This program was all about…

1101
02:22:47,792 --> 02:22:50,695
fun and enjoyment before.

1102
02:22:51,029 --> 02:22:52,397
But I wanted to pose this question.

1103
02:22:53,097 --> 02:22:56,801
"Is this program purely
about entertaining others?"

1104
02:22:56,868 --> 02:23:01,706
This was how I wanted
to start off Part Two.

1105
02:23:01,773 --> 02:23:04,275
This was my primary goal.

1106
02:23:04,342 --> 02:23:06,711
And then comes "Ashura-chan."

1107
02:23:06,778 --> 02:23:09,247
This song is very fun and upbeat,

1108
02:23:09,314 --> 02:23:11,983
but if you listen carefully to the lyrics,

1109
02:23:12,050 --> 02:23:15,053
you realize it's not quite lighthearted.

1110
02:23:15,553 --> 02:23:18,590
["Ashura-chan" by Ado playing]

1111
02:23:23,094 --> 02:23:28,433

1112
02:23:29,300 --> 02:23:31,636
["Ashura-chan" by Ado playing]

1113
02:23:44,015 --> 02:23:46,751
[Yuzuru] I thought this program

1114
02:23:47,819 --> 02:23:50,655
would probably leave
a very strong impact on a lot of people.

1115
02:23:52,223 --> 02:23:53,324
To me,

1116
02:23:54,492 --> 02:23:59,864
the words and lyrics of this song
make a very strong impression.

1117
02:23:59,931 --> 02:24:03,401
So I wanted the lyrics to make people go,
"Wait. The lyrics aren't very fun."

1118
02:24:03,468 --> 02:24:06,738
That's what I was aiming for
in preparing this program.

1119
02:24:09,474 --> 02:24:11,275
I wanted to express fun

1120
02:24:11,342 --> 02:24:15,279
but also the feeling of…

1121
02:24:16,814 --> 02:24:21,452
not having anyone
who really understands you.

1122
02:24:22,620 --> 02:24:25,123
[Yuzuru] The feeling of being shut in

1123
02:24:26,491 --> 02:24:27,925
behind transparent glass walls.

1124
02:24:28,726 --> 02:24:31,095
They're transparent,
so I'm trying to show myself.

1125
02:24:31,162 --> 02:24:33,464
[soft chuckle]
But at the same time,

1126
02:24:33,531 --> 02:24:35,366
I'm adamant about

1127
02:24:36,434 --> 02:24:38,236
not leaving this room.

1128
02:24:39,137 --> 02:24:43,174
It's a precarious state of mind.

1129
02:24:43,241 --> 02:24:44,909
And I tried to express that.

1130
02:24:44,976 --> 02:24:46,611
But I think everyone must feel this, too.

1131
02:24:46,678 --> 02:24:50,515
In the end, no one else understands
how you really feel.

1132
02:24:52,383 --> 02:24:55,453
There are feelings
you can't express in words

1133
02:24:55,520 --> 02:24:59,791
or feelings you have
but can't admit to yourself.

1134
02:24:59,857 --> 02:25:02,193
That's what I wanted to express

1135
02:25:03,327 --> 02:25:06,631
through the odd movements
in the choreography.

1136
02:25:07,832 --> 02:25:12,704
I wanted people to enjoy Mr. Neru's lyrics

1137
02:25:12,770 --> 02:25:16,607
and Ms. Ado's singing

1138
02:25:17,141 --> 02:25:22,413
and also make people feel different things
through my performance.

["Ashura-chan" by Ado playing]

1142
02:25:47,371 --> 02:25:51,476
After the upbeat dance
and the dramatic finish,

1143
02:25:51,542 --> 02:25:53,177
the first words that you hear are,

1144
02:25:53,244 --> 02:25:55,680
"I'm tired and I can't move anymore."

1145
02:25:55,747 --> 02:25:58,716
I thought, "What a drop!"
as I was making this.

1146
02:25:59,751 --> 02:26:00,985
I am tired.

1147
02:26:01,986 --> 02:26:04,922
I'm tired and I can't move anymore.

1148
02:26:07,058 --> 02:26:08,326
I don't want to move at all.

1149
02:26:10,995 --> 02:26:13,531
You can do it. Don't give up.

1150
02:26:15,066 --> 02:26:18,035
I can't do anything.

1151
02:26:21,706 --> 02:26:24,509
No, I know you.

1152
02:26:25,443 --> 02:26:27,111
[soft music playing]

1153
02:26:27,178 --> 02:26:28,780
Who do you think I am?

1154
02:26:30,782 --> 02:26:32,116
Who?

1155
02:26:36,821 --> 02:26:42,326
I am you in a warm world. I am you.

1156
02:26:43,661 --> 02:26:47,665
When I created my two selves,

1157
02:26:47,732 --> 02:26:52,436
I wanted my other self to be an embodiment
of a dream in the end.

1158
02:26:53,671 --> 02:26:57,975
One question that has been
a theme in my life is,

1159
02:26:58,042 --> 02:27:00,444
"What is a dream?"

1160
02:27:01,212 --> 02:27:05,216
It's something I've been thinking about
a lot in my life.

1161
02:27:08,052 --> 02:27:13,624
For example, I'm sure
many people can remember

1162
02:27:15,326 --> 02:27:17,295
talking about their dreams at their homes

1163
02:27:18,095 --> 02:27:20,998
or in kindergarten or elementary school.

1164
02:27:21,532 --> 02:27:25,269
Dreams like wanting to open a cake shop.

1165
02:27:25,336 --> 02:27:27,638
In my case, I wanted to be Ultraman.

1166
02:27:27,705 --> 02:27:29,307
[laughing]

1167
02:27:29,373 --> 02:27:30,975
Dreams like that.

1168
02:27:31,509 --> 02:27:35,947
I'm sure everyone has these ideas,

1169
02:27:36,013 --> 02:27:37,715
but at some point,

1170
02:27:39,116 --> 02:27:43,487
these dreams are just sitting there
and are never confronted.

1171
02:27:43,554 --> 02:27:46,824
When people grow up,
they just forget about such things.

1172
02:27:48,292 --> 02:27:50,027
I suppose they forget them

1173
02:27:50,094 --> 02:27:54,832
because they're not necessary
for living in the world.

1174
02:27:55,933 --> 02:28:01,772
But I've been facing up to my dream
for much longer than others.

1175
02:28:01,839 --> 02:28:04,008
So I know what it's like
to confront your dream.

1176
02:28:05,109 --> 02:28:10,047
And I'm sure everyone actually
has such dreams.

1177
02:28:10,114 --> 02:28:13,117
But they had just moved past them.

1178
02:28:14,252 --> 02:28:19,523
But in living life
and moving toward something,

1179
02:28:21,225 --> 02:28:24,595
I believe that dreams are always with you.

1180
02:28:25,897 --> 02:28:31,035
And it's dreams that give you energy.

1181
02:28:32,370 --> 02:28:37,808
Even if my ankle gets badly hurt,

1182
02:28:39,644 --> 02:28:43,814
and my training doesn't go well
because of it,

1183
02:28:43,881 --> 02:28:46,083
and even if my body
can't do things anymore,

1184
02:28:46,150 --> 02:28:51,088
in my heart, I will always have my dream
to land the quad Axel.

1185
02:28:51,155 --> 02:28:54,659
And it's this dream that tells me,
"You don't have to be so discouraged."

1186
02:28:55,393 --> 02:28:58,829
And it tells me stuff like,
"You can keep going."

1187
02:29:00,531 --> 02:29:03,067
So that's what I wanted to express here.

1188
02:29:03,701 --> 02:29:07,872
And I think this is inside everyone, too.

1189
02:29:09,907 --> 02:29:13,010
They just don't look at it
or acknowledge it.

1190
02:29:13,644 --> 02:29:17,448
But if they really asked themselves,

1191
02:29:17,515 --> 02:29:20,251
they might find
they have something like that.

1192
02:29:21,152 --> 02:29:25,523
I think that maybe
there's a phantom of the opera

1193
02:29:25,589 --> 02:29:29,627
inside me and in each of us.

1194
02:29:30,261 --> 02:29:35,132
That's what I wanted to express
through these words and these programs.

1195
02:29:36,100 --> 02:29:38,436
["The Phantom of the Opera" playing]

[audience applauding]

1199
02:30:21,212 --> 02:30:24,081
The theme of this program,
"The Phantom of the Opera",

1200
02:30:24,148 --> 02:30:29,020
is that a single person
can have many sides.

1201
02:30:29,086 --> 02:30:33,357
Everyone has a Raoul and a Christine
inside them, too.

1202
02:30:33,424 --> 02:30:35,393
You have a side with a beautiful voice

1203
02:30:36,594 --> 02:30:39,797
and a side with a pretty face
but a pitiful self.

1204
02:30:39,864 --> 02:30:42,066
[chuckles]
I think deep down,

1205
02:30:42,133 --> 02:30:44,835
everyone has a side
they don't want to show people.

1206
02:30:44,902 --> 02:30:47,038
A side that is ugly
but truthful to yourself.

1207
02:30:47,104 --> 02:30:49,006
And I realized that maybe my truthful self

1208
02:30:49,073 --> 02:30:53,277
was actually speaking words that resonated
with my other idealistic self.

1209
02:30:53,344 --> 02:30:56,280
When I thought about this,

1210
02:30:56,347 --> 02:31:01,485
I connected with myself
that was narrating this part in GIFT.

1211
02:31:03,020 --> 02:31:06,123
Even my ugly, useless self

1212
02:31:07,391 --> 02:31:12,930
can say things
that resonate with my "dream" self.

1213
02:31:12,997 --> 02:31:15,232
That's why I think dreams

1214
02:31:16,067 --> 02:31:19,070
can give you energy and encouragement.

1215
02:31:20,304 --> 02:31:24,575
That's what I wanted to express
as I skated "The Phantom of the Opera."

1216
02:31:24,642 --> 02:31:25,976
Mm.

1217
02:31:26,043 --> 02:31:28,746
Also, there were things I could do
because this wasn't a competition.

1218
02:31:28,813 --> 02:31:33,818
I skated "Rondo Capriccioso"
right before this, which was very hard.

1219
02:31:34,552 --> 02:31:38,155
So when I skated
"The Phantom of the Opera" later,

1220
02:31:39,523 --> 02:31:44,829
the pain was very real and convincing.

1221
02:31:44,895 --> 02:31:51,602
To me, this program is strongly associated
with my collision at the Cup of China.

1222
02:31:51,669 --> 02:31:55,439
And I think this program
is associated with that painful skate

1223
02:31:55,506 --> 02:31:57,708
in the minds of many, too.

1224
02:31:57,775 --> 02:32:01,645
That's part of the reason
I had put it away for a long time.

1225
02:32:01,712 --> 02:32:05,382
But I knew "Phantom" was perfect

1226
02:32:05,449 --> 02:32:10,488
for expressing this side of me
that was really suffering

1227
02:32:10,554 --> 02:32:13,791
and in pain and unable to move.

1228
02:32:14,692 --> 02:32:16,760
I could really become the Phantom.

1229
02:32:17,895 --> 02:32:23,400
In that sense, I think I was able to skate

1230
02:32:23,467 --> 02:32:26,270
a very convincing program there.

1231
02:32:26,337 --> 02:32:29,573
When I first skated
to "The Phantom of the Opera,""

1232
02:32:29,640 --> 02:32:32,376
I skated as if I were the Phantom himself.

1233
02:32:33,010 --> 02:32:37,448
I became the Phantom,
saying farewell to Christine.

1234
02:32:37,515 --> 02:32:39,416
At the end of the program,
I put on my mask

1235
02:32:39,483 --> 02:32:43,320
and performed
as if I was burning in hellfire.

1236
02:32:43,988 --> 02:32:45,523
But this time,

1237
02:32:45,589 --> 02:32:49,093
I was sometimes Christine,

1238
02:32:49,160 --> 02:32:50,861
sometimes the Phantom,

1239
02:32:50,928 --> 02:32:52,363
and sometimes Raoul.

1240
02:32:56,400 --> 02:33:00,838
I think it turned out to be
a very interesting "Phantom" performance.

["The Music of the Night"

[audience applauding]

1243
02:33:22,393 --> 02:33:23,727
[Yuzuru] It's interesting.

1244
02:33:23,794 --> 02:33:27,865
When I learned that
the film director Akira Kurosawa

1245
02:33:27,932 --> 02:33:31,936
made his films inspired by Shakespeare,

1246
02:33:32,002 --> 02:33:33,871
it raised a lot of questions inside me.

1247
02:33:35,005 --> 02:33:39,109
And when I thought of Shakespeare,
it reminded me of Romeo and Juliet.

1248
02:33:40,444 --> 02:33:44,915
And thinking about Romeo and Juliet
and stuff like that gave me an idea.

1249
02:33:45,849 --> 02:33:48,953
Maybe if I told the story in first person,
I could express everything.

1250
02:33:50,154 --> 02:33:51,555
What if…

1251
02:33:53,457 --> 02:33:55,693
I replaced the characters with objects?

1252
02:33:57,528 --> 02:34:00,464
For example, what if
I replaced Romeo with the moon,

1253
02:34:00,531 --> 02:34:02,032
and Juliet with the sun?

1254
02:34:02,099 --> 02:34:04,868
It might move the story forward.

1255
02:34:04,935 --> 02:34:09,240
If I wrote this for little kids,
it might even make a decent picture book.

1256
02:34:10,107 --> 02:34:14,011
And when I thought about these things,
I thought of something.

1257
02:34:14,078 --> 02:34:16,614
I could take a love story

1258
02:34:16,680 --> 02:34:18,882
and swap the characters
for me and my dream,

1259
02:34:18,949 --> 02:34:20,451
or me and my skate.

1260
02:34:21,752 --> 02:34:24,788
And the whole story would make sense.

1261
02:34:24,855 --> 02:34:29,226
So, just as different stories

1262
02:34:29,293 --> 02:34:32,630
exist inside different people,

1263
02:34:33,664 --> 02:34:38,602
I thought I could use
the different stories inside me

1264
02:34:38,669 --> 02:34:42,873
and bring them to each of my programs.

1265
02:34:43,807 --> 02:34:45,175

1268
02:34:51,882 --> 02:34:58,422
[Yuzuru] The difficult part
about performing at Tokyo Dome

1269
02:34:58,489 --> 02:35:03,294
was the great distance
between myself and the audience.

1270
02:35:03,527 --> 02:35:07,498
The audience might not even be able
to see me skating on the rink.

1271
02:35:07,564 --> 02:35:10,467
Also, the ceiling was so high

1272
02:35:10,534 --> 02:35:15,506
that it gave me the illusion
that I was flying very low.

1273
02:35:15,572 --> 02:35:18,208
Everything was so out of the ordinary.

1274
02:35:19,343 --> 02:35:24,448
Everything was moving
at such a grand scale.

1275
02:35:24,515 --> 02:35:29,620
And I had to control
the entire atmosphere of the venue.

1276
02:35:29,687 --> 02:35:31,588
I thought that it would be very uncool

1277
02:35:31,655 --> 02:35:36,960
if the audience could only see me
as a tiny moving speck.

1278
02:35:38,095 --> 02:35:41,665
So the challenge was
how to make myself look big.

1279
02:35:42,299 --> 02:35:44,435
And not only that

1280
02:35:44,501 --> 02:35:48,339
but how to make my movements
appear big as well.

1281
02:35:48,405 --> 02:35:51,008
There were programs I choreographed myself

1282
02:35:51,075 --> 02:35:53,911
and programs choreographed by others.

1283
02:35:53,977 --> 02:35:56,880
There were also old programs
that I reused.

1284
02:35:56,947 --> 02:35:59,850
And I made alterations
to each of them as I performed.

1285
02:36:00,951 --> 02:36:06,090
It was hard, but I jumped quads
and triple axels

1286
02:36:06,824 --> 02:36:09,526
and fine-tuned my expression.

1287
02:36:10,394 --> 02:36:14,665
I'm pretty content
with what I was able to achieve.

1288
02:36:15,733 --> 02:36:20,204
When I was having different visuals made

1289
02:36:20,270 --> 02:36:23,474
and different effects made for the show,

1290
02:36:23,540 --> 02:36:28,212
Ms. Mikiko said,
"I'm my own harshest critic.

1291
02:36:29,012 --> 02:36:31,415
And I want the harshest critic
to watch this and think,

1292
02:36:31,482 --> 02:36:33,584
'This is refreshing.'

1293
02:36:33,650 --> 02:36:36,820
Or 'I've never seen anything
like this before.'"

1294
02:36:37,521 --> 02:36:39,590
It really woke me up.

1295
02:36:39,656 --> 02:36:43,927
In my performances,

1296
02:36:43,994 --> 02:36:47,965
I don't pump out new programs each time.

1297
02:36:48,399 --> 02:36:53,270
If anything, figure skating

1298
02:36:53,337 --> 02:36:57,574
is more about polishing
what you already have.

1299
02:36:57,641 --> 02:37:01,445
And when you're
simply doing things like that,

1300
02:37:01,512 --> 02:37:04,381
it's easy to lose this freshness.

1301
02:37:04,448 --> 02:37:07,384
So when I thought of myself
as my own harshest critic,

1302
02:37:08,485 --> 02:37:12,923
it made me want to produce things

1303
02:37:13,657 --> 02:37:16,393
that will keep myself fresh,

1304
02:37:16,460 --> 02:37:21,498
and that will keep impressing people.

1305
02:37:23,934 --> 02:37:29,206
THE EMOTIONS THAT FLOWED
DURING THE FINAL SONG

1306
02:37:30,574 --> 02:37:31,975
Thank you so much!

1307
02:37:32,042 --> 02:37:33,710
SUIHEISEN/BACK NUMBER

1308
02:37:33,777 --> 02:37:35,179
[Yuzuru] Thank you!

1309
02:37:35,245 --> 02:37:37,147
Thank you so much!

1310
02:37:37,214 --> 02:37:40,017
["Suiheisen" by Back Number playing]

1311
02:37:40,083 --> 02:37:46,490
I first thought of adding
my voice-over or words to "Suiheisen,"

1312
02:37:47,324 --> 02:37:51,962
because I thought my voice alone
wouldn't reach the audience in the Dome.

1313
02:37:52,029 --> 02:37:58,035
"Suiheisen" is one of my favorite songs
that have saved me on countless occasions.

1314
02:37:58,101 --> 02:37:59,903
So I expressed myself through this song

1315
02:37:59,970 --> 02:38:03,140
and added a few words myself
through a mic.

1316
02:38:03,207 --> 02:38:07,444
Even though my voice would echo
and not carry well in Tokyo Dome.

1317
02:38:08,278 --> 02:38:12,816
But I at least wanted to say,
"I'm glad I liked skating."

1318
02:38:12,883 --> 02:38:17,087
So I used the mic to say that.

1319
02:38:17,154 --> 02:38:20,991
This day may not remain in anyone's heart

1320
02:38:21,391 --> 02:38:24,027
or leave an impression on anyone.

1321
02:38:24,094 --> 02:38:26,029
[breathing heavily]

1322
02:38:26,096 --> 02:38:27,130
[sniffles]

1323
02:38:28,665 --> 02:38:30,868
[audience cheering]

1324
02:38:30,934 --> 02:38:33,070
But I'm glad I liked skating.

1325
02:38:36,473 --> 02:38:38,642
["Suiheisen" by Back Number playing]

1326
02:38:44,114 --> 02:38:45,582
[audience cheering]

1327
02:38:45,649 --> 02:38:48,118
[Yuzuru] This part was completely ad-lib.

1328
02:38:49,419 --> 02:38:52,523
I just moved as my heart led me.

1329
02:38:52,956 --> 02:38:55,726
The choreography came from my heart.

1330
02:38:55,792 --> 02:38:59,563
And I think it left an impression
because of it.

1331
02:39:07,204 --> 02:39:11,742
Thank you so much
for watching this show today!

1332
02:39:14,177 --> 02:39:18,682
I was able to convey
my feelings from my heart

1333
02:39:18,749 --> 02:39:24,488
with this space, my being, and my skates.

1334
02:39:24,955 --> 02:39:27,190
I was able to use all these things

1335
02:39:28,125 --> 02:39:30,060
to freely express myself.

1336
02:39:31,228 --> 02:39:36,366
I think this was my gift to everyone.

1337
02:39:39,336 --> 02:39:40,537
[mic thuds]

1338
02:39:44,274 --> 02:39:46,410
Thank you so much!

1339
02:39:46,476 --> 02:39:48,145
[audience cheering]

1340
02:39:56,286 --> 02:40:01,892
We invented a new style of figure skating.

1341
02:40:02,559 --> 02:40:05,963
Something like…

1342
02:40:06,496 --> 02:40:10,133
a new genre of entertainment
called Yuzuru Hanyu.

1343
02:40:10,200 --> 02:40:13,036
Everyone worked so hard
to make this happen,

1344
02:40:13,103 --> 02:40:16,740
and I worked with them to make this.

1345
02:40:18,508 --> 02:40:23,680
To be honest,
I'm not sure where to take it from here.

1346
02:40:23,747 --> 02:40:27,384
But I probably feel this way

1347
02:40:28,218 --> 02:40:33,991
because we were able
to put our all into this show.

1348
02:40:36,960 --> 02:40:38,495
[Yuzuru] Right now, I just feel

1349
02:40:39,997 --> 02:40:41,865
like I've given it my all.

1350
02:40:41,932 --> 02:40:43,300
[Yuzuru sniffles]

1351
02:40:43,934 --> 02:40:46,203
I used every cell in my body

1352
02:40:47,571 --> 02:40:51,441
and exhausted my energy
down to the last drop.

1353
02:40:51,975 --> 02:40:55,579
[soft piano music playing]

1354
02:40:56,179 --> 02:40:59,182
[audience applauding]

1355
02:41:06,690 --> 02:41:08,859
[sobbing]

1356
02:41:10,260 --> 02:41:11,428
[sniffles]

1357
02:41:11,495 --> 02:41:13,263

1358

[sniffles]

1359
02:41:14,631 --> 02:41:15,732
I worked so hard.

1360
02:41:16,733 --> 02:41:19,569
[crying]

1361
02:41:20,237 --> 02:41:24,241
Well done. Good job.

1362
02:41:24,307 --> 02:41:26,677
[sobbing]

1363
02:41:28,245 --> 02:41:30,047
As I said in my story,

1364
02:41:30,113 --> 02:41:34,217
I've received too many gifts

1365
02:41:34,284 --> 02:41:37,320
from everyone throughout my life.

1366
02:41:38,188 --> 02:41:42,993
So I want to keep cherishing these gifts

1367
02:41:44,094 --> 02:41:48,265
and keep giving gifts back to everyone.

1368
02:41:49,599 --> 02:41:52,202
Yes, my wish is that…

1369
02:41:53,837 --> 02:41:56,740
That when one's heart is chilled,

1370
02:41:56,807 --> 02:42:01,044
even a fragment of one of my programs,

1371
02:42:02,679 --> 02:42:03,914
a scrap of one of my words,

1372
02:42:04,548 --> 02:42:07,718
a snippet of the production or the music,

1373
02:42:08,385 --> 02:42:11,688
or even a light
from one of the synchronized glow sticks

1374
02:42:11,755 --> 02:42:15,792
might provide comfort to their hearts.

1375
02:42:18,528 --> 02:42:21,698
-[staffs] Thank you so much.
-Thank you.

1376
02:42:21,765 --> 02:42:24,101
Thank you very much.

1377
02:42:24,167 --> 02:42:25,869
This feeling of having GIFT behind me…

1378
02:42:26,837 --> 02:42:29,106
This feeling of accomplishment
makes me feel pretty empty.

1379
02:42:29,606 --> 02:42:31,475
[soft music]
