YUZURU GETS MARRIED!


I found out through a twitter friend last week that former double Olympic Champion Skater
Yuzuru Hanyu announced on Aug 4th that he got married. The story went viral on Chinese website
Weibo but no announcement was made on who the lucky recipient was.
And by the time the story hit online sites in Japan there was mixed reactions. Some Fanyus were
thrilled at the announcement while some were confused by the whole ambiguous debacle.
We know that Yuzu is a very private person, and that during his professional Skating career
he chose to reject all social media platforms. Yes he did open up a Youtube Channel shortly
after retiring. But some fans were disappointed that the channel didn't become more
close up and personal, preferring to just put out Skating routines with Yuzu a long way
from the camera.

Even the top Yuzu Tumblr YUZU ALL THE WAY have been strangely quiet on the whole story.
I think they're a little shellshocked  at the announcement and are not sure how to handle the story.
After all it's not often that a global superstar announces  their marriage but conceals to the world who their partner might be.

Some fans online are interpreting the marriage as a solid union and a lifelong dedication
to the world of Skating rather than to a lifelong partner. And had there been a romantic relationship
in Yuzu's life, then it couldn't have been kept a secret from his home fans in Japan for very long.

More reactions on TWITTER plus more on the Japanese cultural legalities regarding the
Marriage announcement on YOUTUBE.

Nippon Airways.
