How did the whole story begin? While I was in high school, my classmates took me to dance lessons. There I met many new people, including a girl who was singing poi. At first she showed me a tennis ball poi and it was not interesting to me, although I did the movements she showed me. After more than half a year, she sent me a video of Yuta Tanaka with a song of Deep Forest's song - Endangered Species. I was stunned by the beauty of the fire combined with the music. I started to imitate the movements from the video without an exact idea of how to do it. I had no idea that this would be the beginning of an adventure that will become my way of life.
