Yuzuru Hanyu Notte Stellata (羽生結弦 notte stellata) is an annual ensemble ice show led by Japanese figure skater and two-time Olympic champion Yuzuru Hanyu, and organized by Nippon TV and its local station Miyagi TV. The show is a commemoration event of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, also known as the "Great East Japan Earthquake" or "3.11", and is held on three days in March at Sekisui Heim Super Arena in Rifu, Miyagi, which served as a morgue at the time of the disaster. The show has a duration of 90 minutes and features a cast of international professional skaters as well as a special guest from another sport or performing art field, teaming up for new unique collaborations with figure skating.
Notte Stellata is named after Hanyu's exhibition program "Notte Stellata (The Swan)", which he has been skating as a tribute to the victims of the disaster on various occasions, including the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang. Having experienced the earthquake and tsunami himself in his hometown of Sendai in Miyagi on March 11, 2011, Hanyu has since participated in multiple charity shows and made significant contributions to the reconstruction of the affected areas. The Notte Stellata show, inaugurated in 2023, is a production with the aim to further support the reconstruction and economic revitalization of the region as well as disaster prevention measures for the future.
The show is broadcast on the Japanese subscription channel CS Nittele Plus, screened live at cinemas in Japan and overseas, and distributed on the streaming service Hulu Japan. A recording of the show's 2023 edition was released on DVD and Blu-ray disc in February 2024. The event is sponsored by the Japanese travel agency JTB, Tōwa Pharmaceutical, and the local event and concert production company GIP. In 2023, it was also supported by Kosé's skincare and cosmetics brand Sekkisei.
