Daisuke's blog was updated today!

http://www.kansai-u.ac.jp/sports/message/takahashi/index.html

Please wait for an hour or so, I am going to translate now.

Here's a translation for Daisuke's blog this time

Rinkai Skate Center

It seems they are in the course of continuation! However, only with some conditions...
Still I am really glad!
Everybody's intention was conveyed. It might sound exaggerated if I say that impossibility turned to possibility,
I had a feeling of reality that everybody can make something happen if you don't give up.
With each intention of everybody(involved), (we could do it),though.
Well, I 'm really happy with this.
Now,I still appreciate everybody including instructors at Rinkai who willingly accpted me when I was in trouble
after the rink in Takatsuki where I had trained has gone out of business. So, I feel really glad for a consequence
like this, from the bottom of my heart.
Regarding some conditions they still have, I am going to appeal with a wish for getting everybody to go and visit
the rink (to skate), and for having this rink kept open forever!
And I hope children at Rinkai would appreciate that they have this rink (to practice) and target their goals and go
ahead energetically.

Please let me take this occation to say a few words to express my sincere gratitude to Governor Hashimoto who made
a decision for this continuation. Thank you very much.

My home rink in Kurashiki still has been in a hard situation, though...
I wish this could effect (in a good way) somehow...
But I would like to believe all our wishes are not gone yet.

From Daisuke


I hope the news for continuation of Rinkai relieved Daisuke so much
and also hope the rink in Kurashiki will have the same good luck in the near future

Wow! Thank you so much for letting us know about his new entry, Yshion!!

Oh he is a wonderful person...

This will give him more confidence and courage to overcome his own current situation.

And I hope the kids who trains in Rinkai Skate Center will continue to enjoy figure skating and Kurashiki Ice Rink will get a good result as Rinkai soon.

PS.
I wonder where he is now. Is he staying in Japan and scouting new coach and choreographer?

Thanks for translating, Yshion! It's good to see that Dai really cares about the rink closures. The lobbying of the elite skaters to keep the rinks open is helpful to the cause, I think. Hopefully more rinks will be able to stay open and revamp.

Me too!

Thnak you so much for translation, Yshion!

When I read "Daisuke's blog was updated", I thought he wrote about something different... or I hoped so...

BTW... Daisuke showed his attitude one more time!

Me too! Because Daisuke's efforts have paid off.

I think, his not willing to talk about the latest developments is understandable. He's probably into "a time to gather stones together" now. But I too am wondering about his whereabouts.

Thank you for the head up and the translation, Yshion! Daisuke is always concerning about skate rinks. I hope that it will be happen same thing to Daisuke's home rink.
