Continues with Wings (コンティニューズ・ウィズ・ウィングス, stylized as 'Continues ~with Wings~') was an ice show produced by Japanese figure skater and two-time Olympic champion Yuzuru Hanyu in collaboration with TV Asahi and CIC Co., Ltd.
It was Hanyu's first self-produced ice show, commemorating his win of back-to-back Olympic titles in 2014 and 2018, and to express his gratitude to fans and skaters who had inspired and supported him in the course of his career.
[3][4] Continues with Wings was scheduled two months after Hanyu's victory at the 2018 Winter Olympics to commemorate his historic achievements and express his gratitude to skaters who had inspired and supported him in course of his career until then.
[7] Due to rehabilitation from a ligament injury in his right foot, which Hanyu had sustained in November 2017 after a fall on a quadruple Lutz jump,[8] it was announced prior to the show that he would not perform on the ice himself.
[5][9] The show finale was arranged by Hanyu's former choreographers Jeffrey Buttle and Shae-Lynn Bourne to the song "Time to Say Goodbye", performed by the full cast.
[16] Evgeni Plushenko is a Russian figure skater and skating coach who has competed at four Winter Olympics (2002–2014), having won four medals, among them gold in men's singles in 2006 and the team event in 2014.
[15] Shae-Lynn Bourne is a Canadian ice dancer and choreographer who competed with Victor Kraatz, becoming the 2003 World champions and finishing in fourth place at the 1998 and 2002 Winter Olympics.
[26] Since its inauguration in March 2023, Bourne has been a recurring cast member of the ice show Yuzuru Hanyu Notte Stellata, a commemoration event of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami in Rifu, Japan.
[27] Yuko Kavaguti is a retired Japanese figure skater who changed citizenship in 2007 and competed with her partner Alexander Smirnov for Russia in pair skating.
[33] The invited guest skaters Stéphane Lambiel and Javier Fernández were not able to attend the show in person, so they sent video messages that were shown on screen at the venue.
