Figure skater Hanyu Yuzuru and kyogen actor Nomura Mansai collaborate in an ice show using “SEIMEI,” the program that Hanyu used to win the Olympic gold medal in men’s skating. We look at what happened behind the scenes as the superstars in their respective fields joined hands on a theme that was also taken up in the movie “Onmyoji: The Yin Yang Master,” which Mansai starred in as the main character Abe no Seimei. Some of the music in the video is inaudible due to rights issues.
On-air on “news every.” on April 16, 2025.

Thank you NTV for giving us the english version of the making of this phenomenal collaboration! I am so grateful that Nomura san agreed to appear as Abe no Seimei. The collaboration was beyond my imagination, especially the decision to have Hanyu san appear as a Shikigami. Hoping to see the wonderful Seimei as well as Bolero performances released in full as well!
英語版の公開ありがとうございます！

Incredible!! both of them are AMAZING!!✨✨✨✨
Thanks for the video👏🏻👏🏻
Mansai is just a master . He is the best
So cool ❤❤❤❤
ABSOLUTELLY AMAZING – i am fan of Seimei and too such collaboration was touching and nostalgic. Amazing idea Seimei to be interactive with the audience, being so close, give orders to the Fukuda (Paper doll), Hanyu recreate the Ommyoji dance blending it with skating .. truly amazing
this is the very first program that made me follow yuzu
I feel that Yuzuru marked a before and after in my life just like Seimei did in his career. I love all this. Thank you so much!!!
Count how many times the narrator said "hanyu won the olympics with seimei"
It was amaziiing… another level of art🎉🎉🎉🎉
He can still jump a quad
Rewatching this in May 2926. Still so awesome. Thank you Yuzuru, Mansai. And NTV for the English subs. A real treat to see this behind the scenes of such an unprecedented & fantastic collaboration.
Pero que maravilla ver el detrás de escena! Cuánto trabajo para momentos inolvidables! Me hace llorar ver a yuzuro patinando con esa música! Son uno.
Hanyu and Mansai are truly united through Abe no Seimei — two artists connected by the same spiritual axis. Their collaboration feels like yin and yang coming together in perfect harmony. Absolutely breathtaking.
Я так жалею,что узнала. Это чудо только в 2026 году!😮😢 Теперь просматриваю все его выступления за все время,что он на льду,потрясена его искусством, лучший на планете!!!❤❤❤❤❤
私は現地で観た。ここではSEIMEIしか紹介されていないが、特にMANSAIボレロはもはや神事だった。あまりの荘厳さに鳥肌がたった。満員の会場は完全に無音だった。終わった瞬間の爆発的なスタンディングオベーション。会場が揺れた。おそらく奥様の誘いで来ていたと思われる、ずっと座って見ていた年配の男性客も思わずというように立ち上がった。あの演目とあの瞬間を私は一生忘れない。全世界の人達と共有したい芸術だった。きっと誰もが感動すると思った。
I wish that commentators would learn to show respect in line with the cultural norms of the people that are presenting. Hanyu SAN (even if the pronunciation is clumsy,)
