P&G - Requests/Questions for Yuzu, part 2 (19 Nov 2016)

Yuzu answered 2 more questions from fans (submitted to P&G during the off-season).

Q1. I am a high school student. When I study, my concentration power does not last. Hanyu-senshu, how do you improve your concentration power during competitions?

YH: I was also not really the type that can focus a lot on studying. Even now, when I write my university reports, I still think ‘ah I don’t like this’. (laughs) It is hard to focus, isn’t it? In my case, when I can’t concentrate, I try to do it for one minute first. Either one minute or 30 seconds. For reports, I just try writing one sentence first. I try writing it, and then if the next thought does not connect, I rest a while. 2 minutes or 3 minutes. Then I write one more sentence, and I continue to do that, and after 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, without realising it, I have been concentrating, and there have been many times like that.

Competition is different from studying, there is nervousness. Figure skating is not a sport that is done alone, there are many people cheering for you and supporting you. So I think it is easier to concentrate.

I can relax in Toronto;  I can focus on skating.

Q2: Among your programmes until now, which are the ones that you like very much? (Of course, you have feelings for all of them but is there any that you felt 'I love this choreography!’ or something like that?)

YH: When I was 5 years old, in my first competition, I skated to the opening theme of 'Ultraman’. At that time, I really liked Ultraman and so it was really memorable. And 'Sing Sing Sing’ too, I have liked it from young. My coach said, “If you like it that much, shall we try to skate to it?” I was so happy, and even now I still like it.

I enjoyed skating 'Change’ by Monkey Majik and the Yoshida Brothers. It is an intense programme that has almost no rest, very fun and I like it very much. 'Romeo and Juliet’ of 2011, which was the year of the earthquake disaster, was also very memorable. And then, Phantom of the Opera, a programme which I had wanted to do for a long time…… if I go on listing, it will be endless. (laughs)
