Yuzuru Hanyu's REALIVE Saga performance at SAGA Arena will be broadcast live to movie theaters in Japan and overseas, with a delayed viewing on December 7, 2026. Hanyu also posted a delighted reaction on X to Taito's announcement of the Estpolis Biography I&II collection.
Yuzuru Hanyu's coverage in these two stories is split between his own performance and his reaction to a game announcement. The second day of his REALIVE Saga performance, held at SAGA Arena on Sunday, November 29, 2026, will be broadcast live to movie theaters in Japan and overseas. A delayed viewing follows on Monday, December 7 at 18:30, giving audiences who cannot attend the arena a later date to watch.
The live viewing ticket lottery runs through Wednesday, November 4 at 23:59 on Lawson Ticket, with general sales from November 21. That is the full extent of what is established about the screening plans. No venue list, ticket price, or participating cinema chain is stated.
The second story is not about the show at all. Taito announced on September 21, 2026 that it will release Estpolis Biography I&II, a package collecting the first two Lufia RPGs, in 2027 for Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Steam. Hanyu, who had named Estpolis Biography II as an origin of his gaming, posted a delighted reaction on X. The connection between the two stories is personal rather than professional: Hanyu's public enthusiasm for the RPG series is the reason he appears in a game announcement story alongside a figure skating broadcast.
Nothing in the two stories links the REALIVE Saga screening to the Lufia announcement beyond both involving Hanyu. The most recent story, dated November 1, 2026, concerns the theater broadcast and its ticket window. Hanyu's own account of the game announcement is not quoted, only described as a delighted reaction on X.

Taito announced on September 21, 2026 that it will release Estpolis Biography I&II, a package collecting the first two Lufia RPGs, in 2027 for Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Steam. The set pairs the 1993 original, about a descendant of a legendary hero and a girl named Lufia, with the 1995 prequel Estpolis Biography II, which follows Maxim and his companions. Pixel graphics are kept as they were, and Masahide Miyata, the series planner, cooperated on adjustments for current hardware. Miyata said the Super Famicom version used heavy hiragana because of capacity limits, so all dialogue in both games was reread and converted to kanji. Taito also opened a teaser site and a Steam store page, and Clear River Games is handling North American and European sales. Figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu, who had named Estpolis Biography II as an origin of his gaming, posted a delighted reaction on X.
