LOVE ON THE FLOOR 2017

For sure the best way to start any day Pattina are with smoking hot photos of Dai.

Thank you!

And to end this Dai-gorgeous day..... get ready to fill your eyes with Dai-beauty and tons of emotional dancing...    

Today was the day of LOTF2017 Press conference and open-reharsal  

Jijipress video with moments from reharsal and interview. Hope we can have a translation, sometime, because Dai and interviewers laugh a lot!!

Lots of fun when Cheryl praises Dai for his improvement in dancing and, most of all, because he is a lovely person and Dai blushes...

Shorter video but with some different moments of reharsal and more close-up of Dai during his solo dance

EDIT: from Cheryl's IG story, a close up - soooooooo coooooooooool


This pic has been posted in various press articles. It deserves to be posted here, too!!! I have no words for this beautiful expression, for the artistry he is pouring out....

So much Dai-Beauty! I am dying of joy here in my office. I had to shut my door so no one would hear me gasp . The photo of Dai (Experimental Rehearsal) in his white outfit on the pedestal almost gave me a heart attack. He owns that pose!

The press conference was great. Dai looks so happy. His face when Cheryl compliments was priceless!

Thank you Pattina for all the great LOTF videos, articles, and photos!

Hi Shyla!!! close the door once again.... you'll gasp and faint, for sure!!! Glimpses of Dai's nude belly and navel...

Every day is Dai-heaven

OMG Pattina it is a good thing I was home before I opened that XXX link. Steaming!!!!!
I needed a cigarette after that and I don't smoke.

Dai is such a Superstar and quite the celebrity! 2 days to go!

Today reharsal!!  1 day to go!!! (in Japan it's already Thursday)

Flapper Dai san (be for ever blessed) collected some IG stories. Our wonderful man is having fun also during hard reharsal

https://youtu.be/BKHmZKmb7h0

One day to go!!! or..... even less if we think that in Japan now it's already Friday 16th (02 a.m.)

Almost all dancers are very "social" with their IG and IG stories..... (not Dai.... )

as the IG stories disappear after a while, dear Flapper Dai san posted them on tumblr, as usual....

Reharsal of God of Dance (or Sex) in Experimentation

Is this a brand new number??

https://flapper-dai.tumblr.com/post/161852032926/hashtag-naturalchickproblems-i-have-so-many

oh my.... nothing serious, I strongly wish... but Dai's face looks calm and not nervous or suffering.... anyway his knee in such conditions reminded me of terrible times...

https://www.instagram.com/p/BVXAqV8AAYj/?taken-by=riko_momo&hl=it

to be honest, I don't quite understand what he is saying... "This.... I can't.... feet" (maybe???)

OMG is he injured??????

Thank you for the abundance of backstage and press rehearsal footage, Pattina!!! The XXX rated material deserves its label. They'll need an age restriction for the show and fire extinguishers under each seat. That's seriously HOT content, which I can't get out of my head anymore!

Good one, Shyla!    




Omg, the dancing bananas! I couldn't breathe for a while after I watched that clip. Of course Meryl took the bun when she "stole" one of the costumes!

I wanted to understand "fake" so badly and that's what I indeed heard at first, but after a few listens I think he said "thick". I'm so worried. Why does that have to happen again now? Here I stopped by DTFF to express my excitement for the premiere and now this...

Oh God    hopefully it's nothing serious... I think he said "fate"

Good luck Dai-chan!!!

Hi ilica. Poor Dai I hope he is alright. Best of luck to Dai!

Nice to read you again, ilica!    Let's hope Dai's knee is not too bad indeed and that he's not in pain.

Sending positive vibes and wishing the whole cast a smooth premiere without further mishaps/injuries! Go Dai-chan!!!

Hi ilica!! nice to read you again!!!

Nice to see we are all here to praise our wonderful man, waiting for news and info.

OK - here we go!!!. Last year Dai sprained an ankle on the first number of first show of last day, but managed to get till the end of the show and also was able to perform in last show, although painfully. Let's hope this time he has already fully recovered and evertything goes well for anyone!!!

Dear fans are tweeting their enthusiastic comments!!!!

Great success, as predictable!!!

With Google translator - so don't trust me 100% - seems that Dai-chan dances a number shirtless!!!!!

Just 2 or 3 pics during curtain call (the only moment when pics/video are allowed) - I bet more are going to arrive!!

Lovely to wake up to a clip of Dai dancing to Glory! His movements are Daigorgoeus!

Thanks Pattina!


EDIT: Oh my look at that audience! So happy the show was a success and more importantly Dai-chan seems to be OK.
Great photos!

He does look small but it is probably only the angle the video was taken. His movements are to Dai for!

Thanks Meryl!

Yes, of course. With mobile and Meryl was in the backstage.

Agree, Shyla!! His moves are so intense and natural

I can see a few more smokers on this planet after Daisuke Takahashi has decided to take off his shirt in a glorious dance   

Hi everyone!! Sorry, I'm quite in a hurry, so I just post links to IG accounts with pics during curtain call.

Good morning everyone!  

Whoa, fans are spoiling us again with all the pictures from curtain call! Thank you for sharing these treasures with us! And thx Pattina for finding them and posting them here.   Dai looks great - happy and dorky, just like last year. I just hope his knee is not giving him too much trouble and survives the whole run of 13 shows.

What a bummer this had to happen even before the premiere, but good to see he's in good spirits despite of it and at least Daisuke and Ryan are brother/sister-in-arms and can console each other.

There will be reports of fainted Dai aunties left and right!   He has come a long way, finally daring to perform barechested. Now can you please do away with the illusion mesh in the future, Dai? Thank you!
