Thank you all so very much for all the information provided here :-)))

I had to smile so much because of Miyu's exciting report :-)))) It made me a little excited, too :-)))

So, soon we will see what Dai-chan did while we were all waiting, speculating etc. :-))))

Your welcome, Gudrun. Yes, indeed, just a tiny bit.
I felt that his spring of the right leg has finally returned 100% at the end of the last season.

Even his triples started to look more and more beautiful .
I am sure this season will be fantastic for Dai. bounce

Thank you let's talk and miyu, for your detailed reports and thoughts!!! cheers

Made me so excited about everything ahead for this season. bounce

And thank you Genki, for the quad info. Amazing that he put it in a show, not in such thing like a fun quad match during the finale but in his program. Yay! You also amazed me that you turned out to be a serious dancer! As a dancer you must see something even deeper in Dai's performance. Surprised

BTW I found this, music replaced version of the Swan Trio video.

My fantasy world is getting brighter drunken

Now I need something poetic and balletic for FS. Shea-Lynn please...

Good question. Sometimes translated as "selfishness" or even "egoism" but I think it's too strong. I usually stick with "self-indulgence". geek

Maybe Twind will explain better later.

Thank you let's talk for the link. Very Happy

This is the clip Daisuke's interview part with English translation I tried.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFhQLmI6Lq0

Wagamama is the word I had to think for a while when I tried another video. I agree with let's talk that selfish or egotistic are too strong. There are other Japanese words for such words which sound colder. Wagamama is a bit more tied with.... immaturity?

This time my landing point is "headstrong" but I guess any word cannot cover 100% of original with any great translation. Let alone poor attempts of mine...

Too much Info! What a Face

You did a fantastic job Twind that was a treat. We are so lucky to have you translate for us members who do not speak Japanese.

And also a Big Thank you to all of the members on this board who translate for us. I want you all to know that I appreciate your hard work. I would be a fan of Dai no matter what but understating what Dai' is saying through translation during interviews makes me appreciate him so much more.

Hi Twind. Great job again.

Sorry I did not start to help you yet. I really needed some time after i saw world class dancing over the week end in the front row. I felt like I was drunk or something all the time and could not concentrate on anything Sad

It was just like I saw one of Dai's best programs. I was just too excited.

I will try some over this weekend and let you know.

You sound like you had a really great time! I am so happy for you. cheers

About the translation, don't rush or try too hard. You do it only if you can have fun out of it! Wink
