Go!! Daisuke!!

Hi, DTFF members!!
It was very hard to get the tickets for NHK trophy, but finally I will go to see Daisuke in Tokyo. And I will report it to you.

How about you? Is there anyone going to have a plan to see this competition?
I'm not sure that I will go to China cup because of my work.

Hi Leode!
I'm so happy you can go to Tokio for NHK trophy! I'm looking forward to read your report!

I think this is the hardest competition in GP for Daisuke with Johnny Weir and Nobunari Oda... but I'm sure Daisuke will do his best to win NHK for the third time!

I can't wait to see Grand Prix starting...

GO DAISUKE!!!

Hi Leode! Lucky you!!

I tried to get a ticket for 28th but failed.... I will cheer for him from home.
I'm looking forward to reading your report!! Thank you!

Go Dai-chan!!!

I can't wait, either

Lucky those with the tickets! (and those who can go see it, in the first place)

But maybe it's possible to buy one on e-bay, miyu? I've heard, people buy tickets that way.

Leode, great that you'll be there. Have a nice time

Thank you Leode for the information. But of course they have already sold out now....

Oh, miyu. That's too bad!!
Tokyo is very convenient place to see this competition and so many people tried to get the tickets. But I will report for you, DTFF members.

Leode, will there be an official practice the day before SP (or at the same day) and will the public be allowed to watch it?

Hi, Euphoria!
Yes, there will be. Unfortunately, in Japan, it is not allowed to watch an official practice at every competitions.
