春よ,來い (Chinese translation of "Spring, Come") "Spring, Come" is a popular song published by Yumi Matsuhito, a well-known female singer in the Japanese music industry and the "queen of new music", in the 1990s. With a beautiful melody and beautiful lyrics, this song has become one of the masterpieces of Yumi Matsunaya, and has been covered by many Japanese singers and foreign artists. According to the famous Song of Spring selected by 10,000 people in 2014 by the famous Japanese music television program MUSIC STATION, this song ranked second on the chart.
In the 2018-2019 season, Yu Yu cooperated with the famous Japanese pianist Mr. Nobuya Kiyotsuka to use "Spring, Come" as a performance slide for this season. At the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, Yusei contestants used it as a gala show.
After the Fantasy on Ice performance in Kobe in 2018, Yu Yu revealed the meaning behind the song in an interview.
Q: What kind of emotions are contained in "Spring, Come On"?
A: I thought about the Japanese impression of spring, and after thinking about it, I went to the slide. It is common for people to say" after falling out of love, as well as spring as a season, the graduation season with cherry blossoms, the entrance season, and so on. There are also positive forward words and so on. I hope that the program can remind everyone of spring in various senses. That's a big theme of the show.
Q: What is ice acting for Habuyuki?
A: When the ice performance is very close to the audience, the facial expression and so on are very detailed places, the audience can see, this is where I think the ice performance is very good. I want to convey my thoughts and emotions to the audience. And if I take this as an opportunity, the audience can become more positive and forward, or become a turning point in life to slip the show.
Q: You jumped 4T when you were openning, what is the current state of the four-way jump?
A: (This passage was said in 2018) to put it bluntly, the accuracy is not high. Especially after the Olympics, there are periods when you don't jump at all, or even go on ice, so there is still a feeling of blank period. Slowly jump around in front of people. Go and dance around in front of everyone, and the audience will surely become very happy. Everyone feels that the surrounding area is indeed different from other jumps. I jump around with a "must look at me" mentality

Mr. Kiyotsuka talks about Habu and Haru.
"During the epidemic, Yusheng told me that he has been saved by my song 'Spring Come'."
In the 21st season, due to the impact of the epidemic, it was impossible to go to the training base in Canada, and the badminton players could only face themselves every day and continue to train alone.
"During this time, I have always felt that my efforts have been in vain, and I feel that only I have been abandoned by this world and plunged into the abyss of darkness."
At this time, the rescue of Habu is the song "Spring, Come" adapted with Mr. Kiyotsuka.
"When the melody of 'Spring Comes' sounded, I realized that I still liked figure skating, and I used to even start to hate ice when my mood was at my lowest. At this hopeless time, what saved me was Mr. Kiyotka's performance, which left a deep imprint on my heart. So I thought that if I could meet Mr. Kiyotsuka's scores during the competition, I could skate with great peace of mind, so I asked Mr. Kiyotsuka to play the beijing Winter Olympics competition repertoire. ”
Kiyotsuka: "He's really good. I am also very familiar with music, and I speak technical terms. It made me feel like he also had a deep understanding of music. When we adapted this song together, I even felt like I was communicating with musicians. ”
"He would say to me: The rhythm here can be like this. A little smoother from the beginning of the piano. For everything, I try to understand its foundation and essence, which constitutes the current Habuyuki player, and he gives me this feeling."
2021 All Day Figure Skating Championships
"The first time I stood on the stage of the All-Day Figure Skating Championships, when I was only in my fourth grade, I won the championship on this stage. At that time, I felt most strongly that it was good to work hard. ”
"In my heart, all that remains is the memory of the defeat. When I was 9 years old, I practiced very seriously. It was the only time in my memory that I felt the effort being rewarded. It's a special, special feeling. ”
"Everyone will have times when they are uneasy about the future, and in the struggle, trying to move forward will definitely see hope." The audience was also inspired and encouraged through the performance. Hopefully, the world will see hope as soon as possible, just as it waits for the day when spring returns. ”
Habu said that the song "Spring Coming" saved him, and for me, the first time I came into contact with Kiyotsuka was his "Baby, god bless you". The first time I listened, I felt the strong emotion of this pianist, which made me spend many sleepless nights, and from it, I really felt the weight of life. This is a very good pianist, for me very much liked.
I think the cooperation between Yu Yu and Mr. Kiyotsuka is a kind of luck for each other, and for me, I feel very happy to see two people I like working together.
