A. "Well I'm just going to say what popped into my head. I guess I'd like it to be a photo of me smiling beautifully when I die. I just feel like... when I pass away, if I wasn't smiling when I die, it would be kind of sad.
'I gave everything I had. I truly lived my life as Yuzuru Hanyu to the fullest.'
It'd be nice to have a photo that reflects that.

That's heavy."

The full video is only available on a Japanese streaming service. His fans translated it to English and posted it on Reddit, so who knows if it'll stay up.
Anyway, I dunno man, sounds like the dude is really into existentialism and themes of mortality. In another recent interview, they were saying that apparently he's taken to writing philosophy.
Bottom line, I'd love to read it but who knows when/if he'll make it available in English from the jump. Just gonna have to depend on the Cult of Yuzuru to post that shit and share it wide.
