Happy 5th anniversary to Planet Hanyu! Here’s to the next five years, and more…
When did you become a fan of Yuzu? In October 2016. I was just browsing through YouTube, and Yuzu’s SP at Sochi got recommended to me. After that, I was hooked. I was like – where have you been all this time? Suddenly, I discovered a whole new world focused on this wonderful skater – and it’s been simply amazing. Even with all the heartaches – he’s just worth all of it.
When and why did you sign up for Planet Hanyu? In July 2017. I was still riding on the high of his victory at Helsinki, and wanted to gobble up anything and everything about him.
Did you make any irl friends through Planet Hanyu? Not yet.
Have you participated in any group projects on Planet Hanyu? Yup, I submitted birthday wish/fan edit entries for Yuzu’s 26th and 27th birthdays. I also watch the Yuzu Skating Parties regularly on Twitch.
Did you attend any meetups with other satellites at competitions? Unfortunately, not at competitions. However, I met other fans at Fantasy On Ice – not sure if they were PH satellites, though.
What do you like the most about this forum? I love that in this forum, I can share/rave/rant without judgement from others. I love that in here, people understand what the heck I’m talking about (you don’t get a lot of those in my circle – I live in a tropical country, where ice rinks are almost impossible to find). I love that I can interact with like-minded folks, who have some idea about figure skating in general, and great love/adoration/respect for both Yuzuru the skater, as well as the person.
Would you like to participate in the giveaway? Yes, please. Thank you for the opportunity. The giveaways are so beautiful (look at those exhibition post cards and tote bag) – how can they be otherwise, though, yeah?
