I started watching fs since 2018 because my friend is a figure skater and I found that this is a really beautiful and elegant sport; Performing arts and sports mixed.
However since I watched the men's div, I was shook haha and I immediately became his fan
Without him I wouldn't have the urge to learn more about fs, studying the jumps, elements and scoring systems, other than just purely enjoying performances.
He also kinda brought me out from a serious depression I had for a very long time cause of the side effects of the medication I'm taking, and also all the stress I have to cope in my daily life. Things would have gone much worse without him. :,( ever since, I watch his Haru yo Koi to cheer myself up. I learnt a bit of Japanese in the past because I watch anime too, but now I learn more so I can understand what he says in his press confs xD
Besides being talented, he is a really warm hearted person too!
There is a Chinese saying, “幸得識卿桃花面,從此阡陌多暖春", meaning
"I'm fortunate to recognize you as a tender peach blossom petal, and from now on your grace will make the rest of the spring warmer"
I find this quote extremely matching for Yuzuru.
I hope the rest of the world can learn how to be an unyielding warrior just like him, and to view this world with gentleness, just like how he does.
Have a nice day!
