1. I saw him in my Youtube recommendations around December after watching Yuna’s Concerto in F. And before I knew it, I became a fanyu!
2. I signed up for Planet Hanyu because I thought there was a livestream here for Worlds 2021ㅠㅠ I was still a baby fanyu so I had no idea what was going on
3. Not yet because I’m mostly active in Twitter but I would be happy to make irl friends here<33
4. Not yet but I would love to if given the chance
5. No:(( I’m too broke to buy any tickets in international comps
6. I like how this fandom is so dedicated to yuzu and I can really see all the hard work that the Planet Hanyu team put in their giveaway, twitch streams, the video archives etc. so kudos to the hardworking staff
7. Yes pleasee

[jellyyuzu]

I haven't been a part of the community publicly for long but I have frequent to PlanetHanyu so much it's almost concerning. 

 

1. Actually, just last year around the time when the 24Hr TV was broadcasted, who would've have guessed I found yuzu during off-season. I was super excited and couldn't believe myself I was watching him live. I didn't know I would only be seeing him 6 months later but it wasn't that bad because we got showered with crumbs from time to time.
2. Just recently. though, I've been digging the video archives and joining the Skating parties for a long time. I sometimes lurk around the threads ehehe (because I was scared before) but I finally found the courage to sign up. 
3. No, I haven't yet.
4. When the opportunity arises, I will definitely participate. 
5. I haven't been able to go to any competitions yet. but soon. 
6. The fact that it is easy to access everything and the archive is super duper awesome.
7. yes pleasee ~~

And most importantly, thank you so much to the PlanetHanyu admins. There's no words to express the gratitude I have for you guys.

1. When did you become a fan of Yuzu?

It was around a month ago. i'm a fan of a japanese voice actor and watched his video then there is one video where Yuzuru showed up with his legendary 'please eat me' . I was curious who he is, i found out that he's a figure skater, then the coc accident video showed up, on that day he gained my respect.

 

2. When and why did you sign up for Planet Hanyu?

It was just recently i signed up for planet Hanyu. When i found out about this site, i was afraid that it is a toxic site but gladly it is a fun and warm planet and i feel safe for being a fanyu.

Sadly not yet

 

4.Have you participated in any group projects on Planet Hanyu?

This forum has everything about Yuzuru Hanyu where i could find any videos or things that i won't see in other sites. also, i barely find any toxicity here which i found it as a safe place, and everyone is nice and warm to a new fan like me.

3: i don't know what it is irl  

 

"IRL" stands for "in real life". The question is whether you made any real life friends (as opposed to online friends) through Planet Hanyu 

[robin]

Lovely reading through everyone’s posts 🥲

 

Can’t believe we’ve been at it for 5 years now.

When did you become a fan of Yuzu?

Around Apr-May 2018. I have always been interested in the story of Abe no Seimei. One day, I went through my Facebook timeline and saw a post called "Abe no Seimei on ice". I was immediately curious and fell into the rabbit hole. Then I watched Yuzu's interview and was amazed at his wisdom. Finally, I stumbled upon 2014 CoC and became a diehard fan after that. (I know CoC 14 is controversal and I don't want to see him skating with head injuries, I just couldn't help but want to root for him after watching that)

 

When and why did you sign up for Planet Hanyu?

I spent some time just reading the posts here before I joined, as I didn't have a habbit of posting things from myself. Can't remember exactly why, around June 2019, I decided to participate in the discussion. Now I am happy to have a platform discuss about Yuzu with all of you.

 

Did you make any irl friends through Planet Hanyu?

Not yet but I hope so in the future

 

Have you participated in any group projects on Planet Hanyu?

I think I have joined Birthday projects before.

 

Did you attend any meetups with other satellites at competitions?

Yes, in 4CC 2020. It was awesome.

 

What do you like the most about this forum?

Beautiful user interface, updated news about Yuzu, nice Yuzu fans

 

Would you like to participate in the giveaway?

Sure. Thanks a lot for your work.
