ICE EXPLOSION 2020

My dear, dear Twind, all the "arigato" in the world are not enough to thank you for this wonderful present!!!

Your post is so full of love for Dai-chan and I know that you shouted your love out loud also on behalf of all his overseas fans. (me, first )

In addition, you describe the atmosphere so well, all the skaters, all the emotions. Reading your words, I was there with you, breathing the same air and burning with the same passion.

oh, I'm so so happy you could attend all the shows, having the chance to express many times your support for Dai.

Dai's words for his last solo dance bring tears in my eyes. Mixed feeling, because - once again - I will miss him a lot in Men's field and at the same time I'm grateful to Dai (and ice skating Gods) because I can still cheer and support him. Yes, a door closes but one opens, with new challenges and new goals and new achievements.

I'm gonna read your post again and again, waiting for you again here, if you can.

In the meantime have a safe flight!!!

(always hoping we could meet again some day )

Hello Twind!! Thank you for your wonderful detailed review of Ice Explosion. As I was reading it I felt like like I was sitting in the audience cheering for Dai-chan right along with you.

So happy that you were there and could experience the love fest for our guy, he certainly
deserves it.

Hello dear Twind, thank you very much for your detailed report! This is incredible, you manage to bring us readers into Shin-Yokohama Arena
and experience everything as if with our own eyes, ears and all other senses! Great, thank you so much for your effort!
Of all the thoughts swirling through my head, only two:
Dai always finds wonderful words for his thoughts and feelings. So nice to know what he said!
and:
Interesting fact that both Kana and Kanako each did a program as choreographer!

Lovely fan-art, indeed

Today TvTokyo airs Ice Explosion 2020.  Unfortunately the link for streaming Mov3 seems not working.          or at least it does not work in Italy.  Maybe you are luckier.

In the last hour, TvTokyoSports has tweeted some posts to remind people of today's broadcast

Nothing really new (and probably the video has already been posted here) anyway it's always a joy to watch
