Somewhere in the Tokyo region, at an event hall flush with soft lighting, a beautiful, powerful melody reverberated. It was Chopin’s Ballade No.1. The performer is Kanon Matsuda. Having been studying in Moscow since the tender age of 6, in 2014 she entered the Moscow State Conservatory on a special scholarship from the Russian government, a Japanese first. She is one of the most watched young pianists at the moment.
Diagonally behind Matsuda-san, cutting a slender form, with his eyes closed, a young man is lost in the performance, at times moving his body to the rhythm. It is Yuzuru Hanyu of figure skating, who performs this piece as his short program for the 2017-18 season.
It was a breathtaking, overwhelming performance. When Matsuda-san stood up and bowed to Hanyu-senshu after the end, Hanyu asked for the camera to pause for a bit. “Sorry, because I was sweating. Right now, (the short program) is going through in my head nonstop. Aah! I’m nervous.”
After wiping the back of his neck with a handkerchief, grabbing a sip of his drink and catching his breath, Hanyu-senshu returned again to where Matsuda-san was. Arts and sports, the two young talents began to talk about “expression”.

I'm imagining Kousei from Your Lie In April and Yuzu skating at the same time
It look like he hold himself from jump and spin when listen to the music… and Hanyu really good with words.
thank you for sharing this one…
Brilliant! A privilege to watch these 2 young artists exchange ideas <3
この時、話の中から学ぶべき事をスッと吸い込む羽生さんの力を知って驚きましたが、、、。2年ぶりに見て、この学びを何一つ無駄にしなかった平昌の羽生さんの凄さを確認しました。
This was so cool being able to share in this conversation like a fly on the wall, The beauty of creativity always circles back to the magnificent feelings that arise from our most primal experiences. The scent of a flower, the cycles of nature in synergy with the human soul as an instrument within its own theater of 'like' expression. They become paramours of one another.
. Dedication to art that brings forth magnificence, as it does from these two gifted people, comes from a deep place within the soul. It is for this reason, that the knowledge and feelings that one accesses from it, are lush with the heart's content and passion for its own creator.
Он правда такой разговорчивый))неужели 17 мин можно говорить о Шопене) Ну она понятно, ну он же не музыкант
結弦君がショパンの 「バラード1
That is what distinguishes Yuzu from many skaters: he lives this music, he feels everything. The pianist and he are therefore really close to each other in this situation. I had to smile when he then signaled that he had become so warm. Because somehow you really felt the warmth while playing. Breathtaking.
I don't like this performance.
I want you to play more simply.
nice interview. i think Yuzu was in a hurry and forgot to iron his shirt. : ))
What a perfect combination of skilled human beings to have an in-depth conversation together. They asked each other informative questions, possibly helping both with their continued quest for perfection. And thank you for the subtitles!
Her performance was amazing! You can definitely hear her passion and feelings from it! Love this interview between two artists. I bet yuzu was absolutely taken by the music and indulge in image skating in his head. Thanks for the upload and the translation!
Yuzu in Image Training mode.
I just love how Yuzu leads the conversation, it shows a great leadership from him.
わしはチューリップさえ両手で弾けません
そんで人がピアノ退いてるときって
立って聞くのが常識だなんて知らなかった
Such a beautiful conversation. Thank you for sharing this.
Watching these two incredibly talented people, makes me realise how fucking useless i am 😂
in other note… they look so damn good together……….. 😉❤️
it looks like yuzu hears the music and skate in his mind 😭❤️
この2人とってもお似合い！
5:58 he is very honest, i love that side of him.i always notice that in his interview, he is not shy to talk about himself.
I am a 15 year old pianist and yuzuru’s performance is what inspired me to learn this beautiful piece, and I have!
woaaaahhhh….These 2 perfect genius human being. Seeing Yuzuru enjoying Ballade no.1 just mind blowing! btw They r soooo beautiful!!! whatt!!?
I loveeeee youuuuuu Yuzuru Hanyu 👑
She looks shy. If I were in her place, I would also be shy & feel intimidated in front of Yuzu 😳
安物音楽家の自己陶酔した演奏スタイルが、とても気色悪い。海外のトップピアニストは、もっと
上品で謙虚。
왜피아노보면서 웃음참는거임ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Does anyone know if she was the pianist who played this piece for Yuzu's short program music?
Yuzuru was doing that image training thing right? Really such a unique and smart way of practicing. The pianist is also fantastic

0:20 Yuzu is definitely doing a mental training here, skating in his head. 😎
two great artists….mutual feeling, mutual understanding, mutual respect….I could see all of it in Yuzuru 's face as she played….a lovely back and forth interview, both so gentle, so well spoken Ii got shivery watching and listening.🇨🇦🙂
很專注的眼神這就您的運量之一⭕🙏🙂🌞
一起交流一級棒㖿真好的技演善交談
兩位多是一級棒㖿!!!!
彈樂譜.舞音曲譜跳,出音韻讚🙂🍏🌞👌⭕
oh my, no wonder I am so stirred inwardly when I watch Yuzuru skate. He does put in a lot of his spirit into his performances. He is so deep and he has lovely thoughts, so generous. That is why Yuzuru Hanyu is a very special, one of a kind figure skater and a human being!!!!
Me encanta ver a estos genios platicar sobre el arte, el arte y el deporte fueron regalos del cielo para que los humanos no olvidemos la existencia del Divino Supremo y su poder y bendición sobre nosotros, ya que ambos tienen el poder de sanarnos en todos los niveles y crear verdaderos lazos fraternales entre los seres humanos.
このお二人は、時々見てはやっぱりお似合いだなぁって思います
特にこの対談があってからの羽生さんのスケートは一段と良くなったなって思います
かなり影響をうけたなって
運命の出逢いって思っちゃうんだけどいつか結ばれてくれたら嬉しい😌🌸💕
だってスゴくお似合いだもん
羽生さんには彼女しかいない！！
勝手にそう思ってます
