Suzue-san (lady in rink): We are in Saitama Ice Arena.  Hanyu-san, tonight you will be doing a collaboration with Kumamon and skaters from the disaster-affected areas of Kumamoto; what are your thoughts?

Yuzu: We have put our feelings into this. I hope it can be a chance (or trigger) for people to look ahead, even if it is just a little.

Male host in Budoukan: Hanyu-senshu, you yourself were in a quake 5 years ago. What are your feelings about the Kumamoto earthquake?

Yuzu: Yes, I was in Canada recovering from an injury (when the Kumamoto quake happened) and my heart was in pain. I had a similar experience and so I want to give some strength to them somehow.

Host: There are many children who are working hard for their skating in Kumamoto. What would you like to say to them?

Yuzu: I myself had a period of time when I could not skate this year, as well as that time after the earthquake. But let’s continue to have hope within us.

Another host (Imada-san): I have friends in Kumamoto and the situation there seems really hard. I do hope the people will get some strength/energy (genki) from your skating, Hanyu-kun.

Yuzu (looking a little teary to me):  Yes.

Suzue (in rink): Today, Kumamon will take on the challenge of his 1st ice show. Hanyu-san, you are looking forward to performing together?

Yuzu: Yes I am. He is very good, so please look forward to it.

Suzue: Kumamon, you are alright?

Kumamon gives a thumbs-up. Then he skates a bit and falls, and then looks very sorry, and Yuzu pats and comforts him. ^^
(laughter)
Suzue: He will be alright for the real thing!

[There is a section on past footage of Yuzuru talking about the March 2011 earthquake which has been shown and translated many times before. It is not included in this video]

Yuzuru’s collaboration with Kumamon and skaters from Kumamoto– When You Wish Upon A Star.

Live performance of White Legend by Yuzuru– This programme was the first performance Yuzu did after the Tohoku earthquake of March 2011.

Suzue: You have just finished skating, but can you please say a word to everyone?

Yuzu: There are many things that are really difficult now and it may get even worse but please try hard. Please have hope and continue to do your best!
