During 2013-2014 Olympics Season
In February 2014, my friend shared Yuzu's Sochi LP on his FB and said "inspirational. fall twice but didn't give up until the end". I was curious because this friend is the type who is hard to please and very, very picky, So I thought if he posted that, this meant something. I clicked, and he was right. That wasn't Yuzu's best performance, but something about Yuzu moved me. I replayed that performance over and over again. I couldn't get enough. I checked the news and very glad to know he won the gold medal.
So I went to Youtube to learn more about him and the first two videos I saw were Yuzu's Nice 2012 LP R&J 1 and GPF 2013 SP Parisienne Walkways. I was blown away. I also replayed these videos over and over again. Then, for the next few months, my daily activities consisted of searching for Yuzu's videos on youtube, dailymotion and niconico. The more I knew, the more I fell in love and inspired especially when I found out he was a victim of March 2011 Disasters. This man is the real deal and I'm glad he came to my life.
One of my regrets is I wasn't a fan far earlier. I studied in Japan from 2010-2012 and visited Sendai few times. I went to Nanakita Park and Izumi Library, and Sendai Ice Rink is just around that area :cry: I wish I can turn back the time and told my old self to follow Yuzu at that time. Imagine the amount of stalking I would do :drool: lol
Fast forward now, I managed to convert my dear boyfriend, 2 best friends and a cousin into Yuzu fans. It's not that hard. Yuzu's skating speaks for itself. It's great that I can enjoy watching Yuzu with them :s_drinks
