Yeah, that's what I was thinking too! Maybe when all the news rush dies down or something?

Yah, I think so. You are so much faster than me , so please start from you. When I'm going to work on a certain chapter, I will let you know in advance on the thread. Thanks!

Amazon has the cover for 200days up! It's so different from Be Soul's cover.

Oh, thanks for letting us know! It's such a lovely picture, taken in Vancouver, for those who wonder (in Coal Harbour, with Stanley Park and the north shore in the background - and you can just see part of the Olympic rinks in the water on the right).

The cover is beautiful!! They were giving out flyers for this book at the Stars on Ice show. I grabbed one, and can't stop looking at it! Can't wait for the book to come out, apparently each one has three (out of a 50) randomly selected postcards inserted in them. Oooooh....

thank you for all the updates!

Hi guys!
I recieved my copy of "200days" today.
It's a wonderful book!! If you are still thinking to buy or not, you HAVE TO!! Many many nice pictures and intresting stories. Dai-chan told his honest impression on 90-10 season (except WC) and the olympics.

Gah. Couldn't they have waited for a couple of weeks to issue the book? It's not like his first world title isn't important...

OK, forget my previous comment!

I received the book today, and silly me who thought that "200 days" would be about the whole season with pics from the Finlandia Trophy to the Big O... Given that the book starts with a picture taken on February 18 (I can even see myself on that picture! ) and only has a few pages about the NHK Trophy/Japanese Nationals at the end, they could as well have called it "Daisuke's trip to Vancouver 2010".

Oh, I'm not complaining, I LOVE THE BOOK (even more than "be Soul", because it has less text! LOL), I just don't really understand the title (but then, I still don't undertand "be Soul" either). The pictures are great and it's a wonderful "souvenir" of the Olympics.

Thanks Dai-chan for sharing these wonderful memories with us!

In the text areas, he wrote about his inner conflicts during the season honestly. It's amazing how honest he is always to himself and us.

BTW, which post cards did you get?
I got Dai-chan with the bronze medal (P38), eye(P11) and Dai-chan walking outside wearing Napoleon T shirt (from Be Soul?).

My friend got the same as you did and gave them to me. I had the one with the bronze medal, too, the opening pose of La Strada at Nationals (p.103) and one that I can't find in the book, but it's basically the pic on p.98 except that he's serious on it, not smiling.

Looks like there's going to be a second DVD and CD!

DVD: http://forest.kinokuniya.co.jp/ItemIntro/647595 (release date 1/7/2011)

Should we expect a third book sometime soon too?

Thank you, Calliope! Definitely I'll buy it!

I know I'm late, but I got Be Soul and 200 Days for my birthday a few days ago! I still can't read Japanese, so unfortunately I can't read them yet, but there are so many wonderful pictures in them!

Also, it seems Daisuke's new dvd came out recently - has anyone gotten to watch it yet? I'm really curious about it.

Hello everybody!

shatterpoint, do you mean this?

I`m afraid there is no hope for english subs on DVD.

So cute photo in "Happy new year"!
And "The red vs The white"?
Dai-chan, do you really love pastes in real live?


BTW, does Kanako Murakami & Hanyu speak english?

Yes, that's what I meant. I don't think there will be english subs either. :-/ More motivation to work on learning Japanese for me though, I suppose.

Sure. But japanese language is soo difficult!

Ohh I really want that DVD!! Too bad it doesn't have english subs I guess I have to start learning japanese too
I looked at yesasia and amazon japan for the dvd but I'm unsure if it's "safe" to buy it from there? I know the shipping will cost a lot since I want it to be shipped to US

My mother and I have both ordered from yesasia before and each time it turned out fine , everything got here in good condition. Shipping is expensive and it does tend to take a few weeks to receive the items, but the site is legit.

You know, I listen to "1900" soundrack, mentioned as 2010-2011 Ex music.
This is movie about musician, that lived on ship, right?
And I`m kinda tired of "old fashioned" music for Ex.
Recently I`m hang on "Tron Legasy" soudtracks by Daft Punk.
