皆さん、はじめまして。 オーストラリアの羽生結弦ファンです。 3年ぐらいで日本語を勉強しましたが、話せるチャンスがぜんぜんありませんので、下手になりました。NHKとGPFに行きたいから、早くもっと勉強しなければなりません。 どうぞよろしくお願いします！

It has ruined sunsets for me. Every sunset looks like a costume now. It's currently 2016 Chopin o'clock. I'm also a dedicated lone wolf with no social media accounts. I haven't used a forum in about a decade. This young man's skating has really screwed me up! It's amazing how this sudden obsession seems to be a common experience. I don't think I've ever felt swept up in a phenomenon before, though I'm sure it's an incredibly small one outside of Japan. There really is a feeling of watching a once in a lifetime talent. Getting to see him before he turns pro is going to be more difficult and expensive than catching cherry blossom season.

I just posted the worlds longest first post only for it to be deleted. Please instead enjoy my boring story in fragmented sentences, then maybe some proper ones if I feel like it. Australian. Japanophile. Loves traditional Japanese court music. Accidentally turned skating on to see Seimei at Boston. Unbelievable, even with mistakes, better than Javier and stayed in the back of my mind. I had never seen or heard of a hydroblade. I couldn't believe my eyes. Magical. Accidentally turned skating on again this year midway through Hope and Legacy. Didn't want to spoil it so waited to watch online. Joe Hisaishi, boy who somehow looks beautiful in sparkles, was like watching a river. I nearly cried. Then I went insane. I have had skating dreams everynight since. I spend every spare moment watching and studying and pouring over score sheets. I havent slept or eaten much because of this new obsession. I'm the happiest I've ever been. Finding that someone so graceful and powerful exists has really changed my world view. I never would have thought I'd care about figure skating. It's bloody un-Australian! Icing on the insanity cake, I'm now saving every cent on the off chance I can get tickets to NHK, GPF, Olympics, or even Worlds (even though Europe is much too far and I realky don't want to.) Tips to survive this process would be much appreciated. :) I feel like this level of greatness isn't just reserved for appreciation by lifelong skating fans but can be recognised by anyone with eyes and a soul. It's a level of talent so rarely found in any discipline. My life is over. I'm now just a host for a skating parasite. ------ I'd also like to apologise if I've stolen someone's trademark description of the Requiem costume. I don't know where I read it but it made me laugh and also a bit hungry. I'm just a mushrooom so it's no bother to change it if it's a problem.
