I’m not even sure what to call this but this is basically live voice-acting of some of the lines from YOI, in this case – some memorable Victuuri quotes.
Most of it is Yuuri’s monologue from episode 4, but there’s also a parts of the beach scene and the freaking airport scene.
If you’re gonna watch just one part of this vid then watch from 0:50 to 1:05 because that’s the part of the airport scene from ep 9 in which Victor says “I hope you never retire” and Yuuri says in tears “Let’s win the gold medal at the GPF”. The fact that they were doing this live and with no retakes during the event and it was still so perfect is just so amazing.
Also you gotta hear Toyonaga do that crying voice as Yuuri. You just have to.
(I won’t be translating this vid because it’s essentially just quotes from the anime, and I think not seeing the subtitles helps to focus on the emotions and the sheer skill of the actors, but let me just say that most of this is the part where Yuuri says that skaters’ competitive careers are short and he’s not sure how long his body will hold and how long Victor will stay with him but he’s praying to have as much of Victor’s time as he can. Just fyi.)
But anyway PLEASE GIVE THIS A LISTEN.
