[Medalist] Medalist, is that you?

Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx21

I made the theme song, so I’ll send it now!

I shot a music video with Yuzuru Hanyu, so I’ll send it to you!

This is Kenshi Yonezu…

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx40

I never thought I would actually shoot a music video for the theme song of a medalist.

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Real warashibe chōja…

3: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s like saying, “When the wind blows, the bucket maker profits…”

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The fan’s arrow circle has been completed.

9: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx10

>>4

Teacher Tsuruma → Nappy → Yuzuru → Yonezawa → Teacher Tsuruma

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx21

Kenshi Yonezu is walking through the anime opening scene!

6: Japan Otaku Reviews

You wouldn’t expect them to gather a lineup that looks like a delusion spilled on an anonymous message board, right?

7: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx25

>>6

If this group gets leaked before the anime adaptation, they’ll probably be ID’d.

8: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx25

I was laughing, thinking that it surely takes time until the MV is released because they’re practicing quadruple jumps.

I never thought they would actually bring a skater who can do a quadruple jump.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>8

What are you talking about? Even Kenshi Yonezu gets caught in the air, you know?

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>11

Miyamoto can run people over with a car too.

10: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Alright, let’s have it on heavy rotation on NHK and trouble parents all over the country!

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>10

I’m seriously about to scream.

12: Japan Otaku Reviews

Speaking of which, Yonezu didn’t fly…

13: Japan Otaku Reviews

Indeed, Kenshi Yonezu can also fly in the sky…

14: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

I saw this move with the medalist! Hanyu-kun is doing it, and it’s really something that can be done with the human body…

15: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

When the Reiwa era begins, a manga about a girl who skates will be turned into an anime, and I want to tell you that Kenshi Yonezu will suddenly create the OP and Yuzuru Hanyu will appear in the MV.

29: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>15

Hey hey hey

I’ll give you my ID.

99: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>29

Unless it’s during the broadcast of the “Ginpankaleidoscope” anime, I’ll just be treated as a crazy person and won’t get any ID.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>15

But I also want to convey that Yuri’s movie is going to flop.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews

Stop fully utilizing your own power.

18: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx15

>>17

(I wonder which one it is…)

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

That really is an amazing music video, isn’t it?

21: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>19

They’re making Hanyu lip-sync…

34: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>21

It must have made Yuzuru so happy to appear in the music video of his favorite and be able to lip-sync to the song.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

Seemingly unrelated events occur in a chain…

Is it that thing called anaphylaxis?

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems everyone is connected because they like Kaoru-chan from Idolmaster.

23: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

This person is good at skating, isn’t he?

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

Who is the mastermind?

25: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

“It seems that Yuzuru Hanyu is aware of the work, so he might bring it along.”

It’s a fan’s nonsense.

Don’t actually bring them here.

26: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

The reason for the gap in the MV release was for the ritual to summon Yuzuru Hanyu, isn’t it?

147: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>26

It seems that this SEIMEI was touring until mid-last month.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

Wasn’t this already anticipated given the title?

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>27

In other words, the true mastermind is…

33: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

>>27

I was about to become a beast of icy flames…

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>33

I almost summoned a beast of ice and flames from another world to shoot the MV.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

I never expected one person’s fetish to become this much.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

The hurdles for the second season are rising outside of the main story.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

Let’s pull in some big names from here!

52: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

>>35

Is there anyone more like a medalist than this?

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>52

Should I bring all the past medalists together?

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>52

I wonder if it will be overseas…

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>52

Well, there isn’t anyone related to figures…

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>30

Do not accelerate with impulse on the skating rink.

38: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

Why doesn’t Kenshi Yonezu do a quadruple flip?

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>38

Because it will spin 5 times.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

I never thought I would see the flying sit spin by Yuzuru Hanyu’s version of Inori-san followed by a broken leg.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews

The strangely obsessive aspects of this work seem to resonate with competitive performers, although that’s not entirely the case.

41: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Beyond expectations

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

I finally started watching Medalist from episode 8, but I wonder if there will be a rerun or something.

54: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>42

Amazon Prime

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t want you to carelessly combine the strongest with the strongest.

That would be troubling, wouldn’t it?

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it creating a different context when retired Hanyu-kun appears in the MV and the lyrics say “now I’m letting go from your fingers”?

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>46

Even though they have retired, it seems they are still participating in ice shows, so I think they have become more nimble than before.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>55

Did you film a backflip video…?

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>46

I’m not retired!

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not how you treat an anime’s theme song…

49: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

>>44

It’s about Yuzuru Hanyu…

51: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Isn’t it a bit ridiculous that “Kenshi Yonezu,” who has real talent in music and art, feels more like a fictional character?

66: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>51

At first, I thought he was a historical Buddhist sculptor or someone like that.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>44

So I will bring along Yuzuru Hanyu, who is also the reason for that name.

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

Kenshi Yonezu can do about eight spins on a Sarukou.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a content that has come together in its current form through various miraculous interconnections…

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>61

It’s already a blessing that a story created by a fan of the character became an anime starring that very character, but the developments keep getting bigger, and it’s thrilling.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s amazing that your repost might reach 100,000, Hanyu-kun…

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

When I think that Nappy said he loves baseball and it turned into a baseball manga, it makes sense.

72: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>63

(Ichiro appearing in the MV)

73: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>63

Ohtani is the theme song…

180: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>63

I want to draw a baseball manga!

65: Japan Otaku Reviews

To be honest, ice shows don’t catch my eye unless I make an effort to watch them, so I’m just moved to see Yuzuru Hanyu’s skating after such a long time.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t something quite serious happening…?

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s been 10 years since the anime that burned the original author’s brain.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’ve never seen such a huge butterfly effect from a kink before.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

I took my eyes off it for a moment and it got 500,000 more views.

79: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

>>70

You can watch Yuzuru Hanyu’s performance with two types of quadruple jumps, even if it’s interrupted, with camera work you’ve never seen before! For free!

Well, that can be seen.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>79

It’s the kind of thing that makes overseas skate fans go “What?!”

93: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>79

The impression of skating in competitions looks completely different from a distance.

71: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I thought real life is way more amazing than anime…

110: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

>>71

It seems that the anime is performing at a proper elementary school top-level acting…

The performance of the Olympic gold medalist is way better, that’s for sure.

74: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Watching Yuzuru Hanyu, I somehow understand what makes being a medalist so amazing and difficult…

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>74

This person is really good at skating.

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>74

How can you fly like that!?

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

For now, I want to hear Tsuruuma-sensei’s comments.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

If Nappy hadn’t been chosen for the role of Kaoru-chan.

83: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>77

Not knowing your face

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>77

It was just that a different lolicon manga artist was born…

81: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

It’s scary how passionate someone can be to draw a manga based on a sports theme when they don’t even know the rules at all, just because they like their favorite.

90: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>81

When I read it, I thought the amount of knowledge was something originally conveyed by a person I had touched upon.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that Yuzuru Hanyu’s fans are also very happy.

Of course.

84: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>82

I think it has a huge effect if the fans also flow into the original work.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

So this is the medalist…

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well… if someone as skilled as you (a medalist) says that, then…

too much

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

Was it good to see this scene?

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

A person whose brain has been burned, a person whose brain has been burned, a person whose brain has been burned.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

You’ll be able to see plenty of well-known signature moves for fans, like hydro and beer man spins…

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

Someone who can fill a dome is singing live.

People who can fill the dome with skating will skate.

I did it.

I hope you can use this song as the opening.

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

Because I’m a gold medalist that’s one level above the gold medalists that appear in the story…

97: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It’s amazing that you can still jump a quadruple… Wow, that jump is really high…

98: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Beast of Ice and Flame – Yuzuru Hanyu

It’s not strange or uncool.

116: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>98

That’s because I have the achievements to back it up…

117: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>98

It is probably because they possess strength that is sufficiently balanced with the impact of their title.

123: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>98

Even using Hanyu’s name value, I don’t think it would be enough!

100: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Namikawa has the power to even move gold medalists.

111: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

>>100

It’s funny that this is reality, isn’t it?

Reality has no sense of reality, does it?

101: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Medalist’s PV?

Let’s produce some medalists!

An example of going all out like an elementary school student idiot.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it the original creator, the person inside the character, or the animation studio that is trembling like this beyond all reason?

107: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>102

Isn’t it the main voice actor…?

122: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>107

It’s a story you started, right?

No, sorry, I might be wrong.

129: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

>>122

The story that began on its own.

135: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>122

It was Tsuru Maika-sensei who started it, but the reason it began was Nappy…

103: Japan Otaku Reviews

A support activity relay that starts with a manga artist who has dedicated their life for their favorite voice actor.

112: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>103

So this is what they meant by the courage of two lives in the story…

104: Japan Otaku Reviews

In terms of accomplishments, no one in the story can win!

105: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are various ice skating anime and manga, but I never expected it to come to this level…

106: Japan Otaku Reviews

The medalist’s passionate fan is very proactive.

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s the OP that the wild Kenshi Yonezu brought on his own, right?

Has wild Yuzuru Hanyu also grown?

114: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>108

It seems that the wild Yonezu called out?

115: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>108

I want to hear the behind-the-scenes story about how it was achieved.

109: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m a fan of manga and I made a song. Please use it for the opening theme.

I am a fan of the artist who created the OP, so please let me appear in the PV.

113: Japan Otaku Reviews

From a voice actor’s perspective, it’s nothing but horror.

118: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

If quality works are supplied, I want this relay to be held everywhere.

142: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>118

The problem is that there are not many powerful people that exist to that extent.

119: Japan Otaku Reviews

I understand well how it’s often said that you realize you’re flying in the flow seen in manga.

120: Japan Otaku Reviews

Don’t do a quadruple jump before the main character!

121: Japan Otaku Reviews

ENGI is also putting the company’s future on the line, of course.

153: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>121

I hope they make a third season of Uzaki-chan… Even if it’s just a casual, low-effort way to make some money like last time…

174: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>121

The mindset of a chef entrusted with a layered box made from rare materials by a Living National Treasure.

124: Japan Otaku Reviews

As mentioned in the comments, being able to see Hanyu’s performance with such close-up camera work is an extremely rare video.

126: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>124

Using drones for filming at ice shows is really too difficult…

125: Japan Otaku Reviews

Natsumi Haruse ← Maika Tsurumai ← Kenshi Yonezu ← Yuzuru Hanyu ← ???

Who’s next?

132: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

>>125

There is a voice actor whose hobby is watching figure skating.

Her name is Natsumi Haruse.

139: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>132

Is this a perpetual motion machine?

141: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>132

I’ve finally completed the perpetual motion machine!

134: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>125

It’s just about to make 4 rotations…

137: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>125

Haruse Natsumi

140: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>125

It seems like it started from Yuzuru Hanyu ← Natsumi Haruse…

I don’t know if the generation or era she was watching is correct, but…

127: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

There are similar cases where someone who likes special effects and draws special effects manga has many people related to special effects come to them, and for some reason, there is also an otherworldly squad called Red that collaborated with Aquarion… I wonder which one will be next in this trend.

160: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>127

Over there, it’s crazy that they’re calling everyone, including members who retired from acting via Mega Blue, and getting them to appear in the anime.

128: Japan Otaku Reviews

Nappy’s butterfly effect has become amazing…

130: Japan Otaku Reviews

Hello, this is Kenshi Yonezu. Can I use the OP? If the production had declined, it wouldn’t have turned out like this…

182: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>130

First, if I say I want to offer Yuzuru Hanyu to the anime’s OP theme song MV, I feel like I’ll just be laughed at… It’s amazing how I’ve come to this incredible world where everything fits together.

131: Japan Otaku Reviews

If they decided on the song title considering Yuzuru Hanyu’s confirmed appearance, then I truly think this person, Kenshi Yonezu, is a genius.

If it were a coincidence, I would think it’s too perfect.

145: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>131

Perhaps one of the original images for the night owl is Yuzuru Hanyu, which makes me feel like that was included in the naming.

In the Yonezu generation, you exactly hit on Yuzuru Hanyu and Mao Asada.

133: Japan Otaku Reviews

A single Kao-chan producer moved Kenshi Yonezu and Yuzuru Hanyu.

136: Japan Otaku Reviews

I really like that top figures from different fields are connected, so I want them to express their feelings more in various places.

138: Japan Otaku Reviews

Yuzuru Hanyu just appeared on Nippon Television…

143: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

Since the title of Hanyu-kun’s autobiography is “Blue Flames,” it is roughly about the beast of ice and flames.

158: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>143

So that was where the title came from…

161: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>143

I think the ice flame is coming from there…

177: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>143

The figure of the beast of ice and flame, having gotten first place while bleeding from a clash during practice.

144: Japan Otaku Reviews

I come from the future.

The medalist’s OP is by Kenshi Yonezu, and Yuzuru Hanyu will appear in the MV.

149: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx10

>>144

Don’t be high!

146: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems you like Russia, so let’s call Plushenko.

148: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even if there is a skater who wants to perform to this song, will they be required to achieve a quality higher than the music video…?

150: Japan Otaku Reviews

Yuzuru Hanyu’s overseas recognition is incredible, isn’t it?

151: Japan Otaku Reviews

Maybe this has raised the hurdle the most.

Isn’t it CG animation of the anime “Yotaka Jun”…?

166: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>151

That scene is in volume 10, so it’s quite a ways ahead.

167: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>151

A movement beyond PV is required…

170: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>167

That can be done in motion…

184: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>151

It would be good to capture Yuzuru Hanyu’s motion.

152: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Why does this guy like medalists so much!?

154: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that since I am performing all 7 elements: 3 jumps, 3 spins, and a step sequence in the short program, I can use it in competitions.

165: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>154

In other words, if I accomplish this, will I become a medalist…?

172: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>154

In terms of rules, it’s one thing to be able to use it, but whether it can actually be done is a different issue…

188: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>154

Moreover, it seems that bow and arrow can also be used as a short piece due to the length of the song.

197: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>188

(Yuzuru Hanyu returning)

193: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>154

It seems that the proper operation time is kept to 2 minutes and 49 seconds.

155: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

By the way, what does the name “tsurumai kada” mean…?

156: Japan Otaku Reviews

Natsumi Haruse said she likes soccer.

Messi and Ronaldo were about to start dancing.

157: Japan Otaku Reviews

Thanks to Hanyu-kun’s involvement with medalists, it seems that the motion actors for the Night Hawk and Awakened Hikaru-chan, which will eventually come, are also safe.

159: Japan Otaku Reviews

I always thought I couldn’t tell how many rotations the figures were doing during jumps since long ago.

In any case, I can tell that it’s incredibly skillful.

162: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are various things surrounding the work “Medalist” that are just too amazing.

I feel like the bar for works featuring figure skating is going to get really high from now on…

163: Japan Otaku Reviews

Yuzuru Hanyu is becoming like a lolicon~

164: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was thinking that someday someone would make a figure based on this song, and then Hanyu-kun went and did it!

168: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>164

It has become Yuzuru Hanyu’s song…

173: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>168

I guess we just have to wait for talent at the level of Hikaru-chan to emerge…

175: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>168

I will make it my song.

185: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>175

I hope a player with that kind of spirit will emerge.

201: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>185

If it’s a child who started watching anime or music videos, it seems like they’ll have to wait at least another 5 years to come out…

169: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was just joking about it during the day, but to actually be appearing…

171: Japan Otaku Reviews

Anime skating actually traces real performances, you know.

Who will make the night hawk movement…?

202: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>171

Hello, this is Yuzuru Hanyu… There’s a possibility that a pattern like Kenshi Yonezu might come.

176: Japan Otaku Reviews

I looked at the lyrics properly for the first time, but…

I realized too late that the place I thought was choking towards the sky was actually a choking soirée.

178: Japan Otaku Reviews

What is the figure industry saying?

179: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

“I’m wondering if it’s really okay for a woman to draw something this much geared towards lolicon…?” I’m still unable to watch the original or the anime.

190: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

>>179

Look… it’s the number one popular muscular teacher!

194: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>179

Read the original work because it’s interesting.

You don’t have to watch anime.

181: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

The real flying sit spin at the end of the first chorus is nice…

183: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder what it feels like to be passionately devoted to by Kenshi Yonezu, who is loved with overwhelming intensity across all his works.

186: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

OP Kenshi Yonezu! Just the fact that it’s him already left everyone in shock, but it has turned into something terrifying.

187: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m a fan! Let me make the OP! Isn’t it pretty amazing to have a system that allows that?

191: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>187

Isn’t it good? It’s Yuanetsu… Right?

189: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you get defeated by Yuzuru, you won’t be able to dance using this.

192: Japan Otaku Reviews

Don’t make a music video with a capacity that doesn’t fit the Tokyo Dome!

195: Japan Otaku Reviews

After looking at it again, the movement on the ice is really cool.

It feels like a beast of ice and flames.

196: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

Look… at my Yuzuru…

198: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, watch anime too.

199: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

Look… the first three volumes are free!

https://comic-days.com/episode/13933686331653168477

200: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

The theme song by Kenshi Yonezu featuring Yuzuru Hanyu in the music video is a bit too much of a fantasy, isn’t it?

I understand that you’re excited about the anime adaptation.
