Here is an additional news!!
According to Yahoo news(Jiji news), His new EX program is LUV　LETTER by DJ Okawari. And at the public interview after the show, Daisuke said with a smile "I was very nervous to skate in front of audience since last year. My hands was trembling a lot and my heart fluttered because I was over-strained." He added about training of quad with a confidence, "I cannot jump a quad completely yet, however, it will be completed until upcoming GP series."

Oh! Thank You, Leode
The music was first heard, I thought Ryuichi Sakamoto
It's very relaxing music.
I really expect Friends on Ice

Thank you so much, Leode!!
I love the music. But I've never heard of the artist. Who is DJ Okawari??

Me too. I thought it would be Ryuichi Sakamoto or Jo Hisaishi.


These are today's news. Thanks to posters.
I'm pretty surprised how much Japanese media pay attention to him.

Nice smiles!! He looked to have a great time there.

Thank you for this wonderful news, Leode

I like Daisuke's costume (yes, I, too, thought it's inspired by kimono's), I like the music, I especially like the music's title

I noticed Daisuke looks skinny. He probably keeps his weight low for the jumps.

Oh, and thank you, miyu, for all those links!

You're welcome, Danke, miyu and hsuhs!
And thank you for linking vids, miyu!
Wow It's very clean 3F!!

Yeah, I found it, too. His rounding is more airy avoiding highly percussive movements with his weight. I think it makes so hard to keep stamina for long program, but he can do it.

Hi, everyone!!
Thank you for all the informations and links, Leode and miyu

I found additional news on youtube and web

About his flexibility of his ankles and hip joints, he says
" I'm surprised that conduction of power from the upper part to the lower part is differentfrom the previous one.
By having had this injury, I can say everything is becoming a plus for me. And now I am quite sure it leads me to the Olympics."

His arm movements on layback spins are really gorgeous and poetic...

I agree with you, Yshion. His layback spins are more beautiful than before. It's very artistic.
I don't know why, but it makes me cry.

WELCOME BACK, DAISUKE!!
