Hanyu Yuzuru heads home to Miyagi Prefecture this week for three special, emotional performances of his new self-produced ensemble ice show notte stellata.
The show, Hanyu's first collaboration with others since he began performing his self-productions (following on from Prologue and Gift), will reflect on, honour, and mark the 12th anniversary of the Great East Japan Earthquake and subsequent tsunami, which occurred on 11 March 2011.
Three-time gymnastics Olympic gold medallist Uchimura Kohei is due to make a surprise appearance – in an as-yet-unknown role – in the show, which will also star Hanyu's former choreographer Shae-Lynn Bourne Turok and former training mate Jason Brown, in addition to fellow Japanese skaters Miyahara Satoko, Suzuki Akiko, Tanaka Keiji, Mura Takahito and Hongo Rika.
Here's how to watch the show in Japan.
