Twind, thank you so much for translation!!!

So he's chosen “The Little Prince” himself - how fitting.

GO Daisuke!

” Though they are done by two different things, the body and the voice, Mr. Takahashi finished to express in the same way as he did in figure skating, and now he is boldly asking for the score from the serious judges.

What about recording it also in English so "international judges" could score it too?

ilica, please, recover from fainting!! we need you here!!  

Difficult thing to do if you and Twind keep posting pics of that adorable little prince in white shirt and gray sweater    
but thank you!

Twind, thank you for translation and pics.

Glad to know he decided on his own because he feels some connection between the book and his present life. I have a feeling that somehow Dai has made great progress in his maturity as a man, not only as an artist.

We'll always be at your side, cheering and supporting you. For ever. Because you are our lovely and adorable Little Prince

Charming and extremely sexy little prince

It seems that during a tv show they talked again about Dai-chan and his "job" as reader. Unfortunately no video seems available on YT or DM,  but this kind Auntie posted 20 seconds on twitter

Ohhhhh Dai is so adorkable that tiny tongue.... so lovely

FujiTV has aired "Daisuke Takahashi - The Little Prince" this morning, too.

Nothing really "new" - but watching Dai is always a pleasure and a joy  

In the last few seconds you'll see Dai stubbing on a word difficult to articulate for him.  He so lovely and classy in white shirt (quite particular with strings at sleeves) and gray soft sweater  

Thanks a lot to kind uploader

reports of "appearance" again on FujiTV "Mezamashi" on air February 01 from 05:20 to 08:00 Japan Time. However, I don't know if he appears in person or again as "The Little Prince".

Full XOI has been aired and dear Aunties are tweeting their comments and some caps. Thanks a lot!!!

Lacrimosa  (in the dark, just the words "New York" and the audience bursts out in screams of joy and love)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_apB4eIv6c4

This is the last show and IMO Dai's Lacrimosa is even more impressive. He is giving out all his Artistry to communicate with audience, to share with it feelings and emotions. Pure beauty on ice.              

Anticipation by Mezamashi of tomorrow's show.

Pic tweeted by Mezamashi - OMG that gorgeous smile      

Totally crazy

Look at Akko... how she stares at Dai and how she laughes....

Here is Dai during Mezamashi - thanks to kind uploader

Seems he was asked some questions and he reached 40% of correct answers. But if I understand it right, just one of Mezamashi staff did better than him.

As always, he is cool and so handsome. Smiling Dai makes my day

On February 6th, on AsahiTV - Dai's appearance in show "Tetsuko's Room"  (the nice old lady who happily touched him on his butts   )  I don't understand, however, if it's a new appearance or just replay of older ones.

In this post by Daisuke Takahashi Road to Sochi

https://www.facebook.com/DaisukeTakahashiRoadtoSochi/posts/753398374797730

you'll find link to an English translation: Shu Nakamura talking about Dai-chan sensei !!!

With wonderful pics

I'm so glad Dai decided to share his knowledge and experience with younger skaters of Nagamitsu's group. I'm sure deep inside that he can be a Great sensei, putting his heart in his advices to pupils. His legacy cannot be forgotten.

Thanks Pattina for all of the Dai updates and links!

Throwback AOI 2015 - Dai on AOI's booklet          

Video uploaded by David Wilson on Friday. Daisuke practicing VAS at Toronto Cricket Club back in 2011.  Dai is mesmerizing and magic even in practice. How I LOVE this program        my favourite


Daisuke Takahashi - In The Garden of Souls SP 2011/12

practice vid - what a treat it was to work with Daisuke, such a fantastic talent!!!

Huge thanks to kind translator and uploader

Once again I feel deeply moved and on the verge of tears reading about Dai's struggle and suffering along his Road to Sochi.

I love him more and more

A new documentary on Dai-chan and his NY period will be aired by TBS CS by March's end.

Thanks to Daisuke Takahashi Road to Sochi for news and link!!

Thank you Pattina for everything!!!!

Here is great doradora montage with beautiful (and often crazy    ) Dai-chan from XOI:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwRNTmnp2Q8

Every scene is new for me , as I wasn't able to see BS broadcast of XOI. Thank you doradora-san!

Thanks Ilica!!!!!! And huge thanks to Doradora san

I love crazy Dai-chan and the way he moves in Finale or during group numbers. He has music running into his veins, not blood

Unfortunately this time BS broadcast was not loaded in full on YT or DM - copyright issues probably. Aunties only tweeted mini-clips (some with crazy Dai-chan ) and screencaps.  

And now these two wonderful HD versions of Dai's programs from BS broadcast!  Watch out and be careful, because Lacrimosa is breathtaking and heartbreaking.  Born on Christmas Day is more traditional, so to say, but Dai's tecnique in steps and skating skills is amazing.

Thanks Pattina for HD videos!

The last Lacrimosa... it's one of these rare moments when soul of the music materialize on the ice. Just breathtaking.
And that intense Dai stare at the end... my legs are still shaking

PATTINA, Thank you for the HD video links of XOI performances!!!

Thank you, Acco Yama san for uploading the videos!!

Hard to breathe...  X_X

The lady with Dai is Cheryl Burke, a US dancer and TV host (according to Wikipedia) - it's her show.

As many Aunties are tweeting caps, a tv news was broadcasted more or less an hour ago - hope dear Aunties will upload video soon!!

Oh my.... I'm so excited and so happy!! Eager to know more about it! I can't wait....              

Cheryl Burke was on the US show Dancing with the Stars for many years as one of the professional dancers
who partnered with the celebrity contestants. I am wondering if this new show will be patterned after Dancing with the Stars.
Can't wait for more info. Will the show be based in Japan?

Thanks Pattina!

WOW!!!    How exciting!

Thanks Pattina for the news!!!

     

Wow ilica!! Thanks for pic!!! What a pose! Perfect dancer!!

Shyla, thanks for info on Cheryl.


News is already spreading on the web

Thanks to ostile and DTRtS for additional info:

Quick translation of the CM:
I really haven't done any dancing on the floor so I feel pressure.
Q: which do you feel more, anticipation or anxiety?
D: Anxiety. I will try my best to make it into anticipation, to feel looking forward to it.

I don't know how the show will be; according to this article

http://natalie.mu/stage/news/176627

the show will feature also Kristi Yamaguchi and Meryl Davis/Charlie White!!! Oh my.... will Dai fulfill his dreams and dance with Meryl????     I bet than, in case they'll do some Tango or Latin dance together, Meryl will learn what "hot passion" is!!  (sorry, Charlie - I know you do your best but I never feel passion when watching you and Meryl on ice)

I'm so happy: Dai has now plans and objectives for the immediate future, setting his mind into something that gives him expectation.

And I'm so eager....  

Have a Dai-gorgeousdancer Dai-day!!!

Thanks Pattina for all the additional info!

I'm trying to watch SD at 4CC right now, but I can't concentrate because in my head Dai is already dancing with Cheryl!
Maybe something like this:  

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=wuzdUJAcrfY#t=131

He already has the costume  (of course I want him with better music!)
