The Echoes of Life Tour (full title 'Yuzuru Hanyu Ice Story 3rd Echoes of Life Tour') is a solo ice show tour by Japanese figure skater and two-time Olympic champion Yuzuru Hanyu, organized by TV Asahi, CIC Co., Ltd., and Team Sirius. The tour is scheduled with three stops from December 2024 to February 2025 at Saitama Super Arena in Saitama City, at Hiroshima Green Arena in Hiroshima, and LaLa Arena Tokyo-Bay in Funabashi.
The Echoes of Life Tour is the third main chapter of the Yuzuru Hanyu Ice Story series, produced and directed by Yuzuru Hanyu in collaboration with Japanese choreographer Mikiko. Each performance has a duration of 140 minutes and features 15 different skating programs—a new record for solo ice shows. The programs are woven into a story spun around the meaning and value of human life in the presence of evolving technology and artificial intelligence. On the third day of the Saitama tour stop, Hanyu performed a clean skate of his winning short program Ballade No. 1 from the 2018 Winter Olympics and successfully executed multiple quadruple jumps among others.
The Saitama performance was sold out on all three days with a total attendance of 42,000 spectators. Selected shows were screened live at cinemas in Japan and overseas, aired live on the subscription channel CS TV Asahi, and streamed live on SMG Great Sports in China and on Beyond Live worldwide. The tour is sponsored by Tōwa Pharmaceutical, Phiten, Kosé, and Telasa.
