Transcript for Kastudon93's video "Big Announcement: ISU Charity Drive Promotion"
Katsudon93 is sitting in a non-descript room with indeterminable figure skating posters in the background. He is wearing a dark blue V-neck long sleeved shirt and one of his signature black lace masks. The majority of the lace on this mask is on a solid black backing with a white feather flair on the right.

Hello everyone. I know all of us in the community are still reeling over Cao Bin.
(Katsudon93 pauses and looks down sadly before looking back up with a small but sad smile.)

If you haven't already heard, on March 24th the ISU is going to be hosting a live event in Tokyo to raise money and awareness for the International Association for Suicide Prevention. The event will be broadcasted world wide and available for streaming.
They're recruiting so many skaters from around the world to help make this the best event possible. So far, I've heard they have many of the world's current top skaters including Sara Crispino, and even Viktor Nikiforov, coming out to skate! However, they're also calling upon retired favorites like Michelle Kwan! It's surely going to be such an amazing spectacle seeing so many skaters on one ice!
Now for the big announcement, not that this wasn't already big! It's huge but I'm sure most of you have already heard about it.
(Katsudon93 waves his hands in front of himself in embarrassment. It is very clear he's blushing behind his mask. He calms down after a moment but seems hesitant to continue to speak but does so after fidgeting nervously and not looking at the camera directly.)

But there is someone else performing that hasn't been announced until now… And not that I'm anywhere near their level but… the ISU has invited me to also perform an original skate at the event and I have accepted their invitation.
(Katsudon93 takes in a deep breath before looking straight into the camera, his eyes serious and determined)

This charity and the reason why this event is happening means very much to me. If my participation means I can help reduce the stigma, and increase the dialogue, about mental illness and seeking help before it's too late, then I am more than happy to help.
So I hope all of my followers will support me, but more importantly, the IASP, by taking part in the event and donating what you can. Links for what you can do to help will be in the description, as well as links for where you can send your donations.
(Katsudon93 visibly relaxes)

Now that's been said, my next video should be up in a few days. I really think you will like it.
Anyways, thank you for your support and I look forward to being at the event.
As always, I hope all is well with you and wish you a fond farewell until next time. Bye!
(Katsudon93 waves shyly)

A/N: Hey guys! Happy belated Valentine's Day! Sorry this took longer than I thought to get up and it was shorter than intended but this length felt right for this chapter... Anyways, I've been busy, I had to finish my master's thesis and all I got left is the defense so it might be a bit before the next chapter... I hope you liked and please feel free to review!
