The Limelight Hour - Just Like Pokemon Part 2

If you missed the first Pokemon post, check it out here

Remembering and retelling stories about how we met usually results in laughter. To us, it feels like we've known each other forever. In truth, the longest relationship in the Limelight Hour crew has only been a year, and the shortest relationship, less than 2 months.

The central character of Pokemon constantly says "I know its my destiny!" Just like him, fate and destiny was what brought us all together :)

















Lionel and Kevin met a year ago, in April. Whilst arranging his first show, Lionel contacted Kevin to arrange a coffee date. He was in Canberra renewing his passport. Coincidentally, Kevin was also in Canberra! And it was from that momentous occasion that their Baby, 'THE LIMELIGHT' was conceived.

Asami and Lionel were introduced through common friends. Lionel, wanting to show off his new Japanese language skills to Asami said "Anata o shi masu ka", which meant "Do you do yourself?" when he actually intended to ask "What do you do?" That query sparked a close friendship, where now, the question can be honestly answered :p

Giulia and Asami met at a Limelight event, where Giulia shamelessly approached Asami to introduce herself. They exchanged emails and then proceeded to forget about each other. 2 months later, they reconnected when Giulia suddenly realised who Asami was and replied her email.

Destiny is the power that predetermines life courses and events. Chance meetings and open opportunities led Lionel, Kevin, Asami and Giulia together. Now that they're so familiar with each other, they can't recall life without one another. If they didn't have each other, life wouldn't be worth living...
