Chris Howarth's commentary growing on me was among the bigger surprises for me this figure skating season. Not only do his enthusiastic and highly creative phrases inspire bingo sessions during comps to the sheer delight of skating fans, the more he mixes them with information the more endearing I find them.
Whatever he did to improve his commentary or whether the ISU sent him to a training, the change was most notably this season. I'm actually looking forward to him commenting comps now.

Day 1 07:00-08:53
(After the opening)
Hanyu: (Clears his throat) Oh. My mic was on... Thank you so much for coming today. Hehe. I am so happy to have gone through the resting period without trouble and to be able to stand here in front of you this way. Thank you again for being here today. This time, I named this show, "Continues with Wings" with the feeling that my skating and I are the continuations of what I have met through my life and skating, that I have inherited so many things as I came this far. With this feeling, I decided to produce this show inviting great skaters who have significant connections with me. Hehe...
(Applause from the audience)
Hanyu: Uhm... I feel very nervous about presenting this show to you since this is day 1, but, at the same time, I am really hoping that you will enjoy the skating of those great skaters while finding out what I have inherited from them, thinking, "Ah, this is what Hanyu senshu..." Lol, I am calling myself "Hanyu senshu."
(Audience laugh)
Hanyu: ...thinking, "This is what he inherited from this skater" or "We can find this in Yuzuru Hanyu's skating as well." Now, let's start Continues with Wings. (Bows to the audience)
