1. When did you become a fan of Yuzu?
After Sochi 2014, I came across the replay of his olympics short program (Parisienne Walkways) thanks to YouTube. I wasn't fond of ice skating as it is not popular in my country; It is a tropical country after all and there's only one skating rink in the whole country. Anyway, I was just casually watching recommended videos because I was stressed from A Levels preparation xD I fell in love with the way he skate instantly because it contains so much expression and feeling! I didn't know figure skating was this beautiful :')
2. When and why did you sign up for Planet Hanyu?
I signed up right after Beijing Winter Olympics. Eventhough I knew of Yuzuru back in Sochi, I never really though of joining fandoms, etc. I was too busy with high school and university back then. So, right after Beijing Olympics, I looked at twitter and obviously "Yuzuru Hanyu" is trending. Then, I started following fan accounts because they share stunning pictures of Yuzu! I took courage to contact one of the many fanyus I followed and they told me to join Planet Hanyu. I didn't know what it was until I looked it up xD So many interesting threads about figure skating, Yuzu, competition meetups, book recommendations, etc. Because there's a lot of information about figure skating + video archives of skating performances, I decided to join Planet Hanyu
3. Did you make any irl friends through Planet Hanyu?
Unfortunately, no... at least not yet! I just recently joined, so hopefully as the days, months and years went by, I can make irl friends through Planet Hanyu
4. Have you participated in any group projects on Planet Hanyu?
Hmmm.... does watching the Yuzu Skating Party counts? If so, yes! xD
5. Did you attend any meetups with other satellites at competitions?
Nope, never I would love to in the future though! I'd love to watch him skate LIVE!
6. What do you like the most about this forum?
The archive videos and the figure skating definitions thread xD I feel educated by reading the definitions and types of jumps in figure skating!
