For me it was a video of a Pooh Rain that came up on my For You Page on TikTok. This was in the summer of 2020. It was interesting but I didn't think much about it and kept scrolling. A few months later, I randomly thought about that figure skater with the Pooh bears and I looked up the figure skating hashtag on TikTok to find him again. Luckily there were a lot of videos of Yuzu that came up and once I found his name I searched him on YouTube. I think the first performance I watched was Seimei at the 2018 Olympics and then the rest is history.

I have quite a few Yuzu photobooks and magazines and these are a few of my favorites.

I also recommend Satomi Ito's books, Figure Skating Art Costumes and Muse on Ice.

I love them all but if I have to list them, I need to separate them between my favorite short program, free program and exhibition so I can have more. Favorite Short Program: Chopin Favorite Free Program: Origin Favorite Gala Program: Haru Yo Koi

Is there any timeline for when the 10 post requirement to view videos will go away? I don't really post much on any kind of social media and can't think of anything to say but am trying to get to 10 so I can watch videos again.

If it wasn't for Yuzuru, I would have fallen in love with figure skating. Yuzuru inspired me to start skating myself. Because of Yuzu I have also learned a lot about Japanese culture and started learning Japanese. I've also discovered a lot of great music because of Yuzu.

My favorites are Tenchi, Olympic Seimei, Haru Yo Koi, Chopin 1.0 (I like that shade of blue best), Notte Stellata, and Etude (so underrated). I also really like One Summer's Day.
