Thank you for the update, Leode flower

So now it's all official.

Happy to hear Daisuke's going to be at the Worlds too.

I also want to use this opportunity to make a request regarding his sp costume. Daisuke, could you please bring your Finlandia Trophy sp outfit to Turin? (if you still have it). You look so elegant and cool in it I love you

News and Interviews towards the Olympics
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Npf5dSAANmg

-How do you feel about the representative of Japan for the Olympic Games?
I'm very appreciate to be one of representives of Japan for the Olympic Games. however, I'm extremely disappointed my performance as ace of Japan. From this experience, I would like to do the best performance I'm satisfied with at the Olympic Games without any regrets.

-How do you process with your training towards the Olympics?
The most priority thing is to be stable for the quad. After that, I need a practice more and more.

-What did you learn from the Olympic Games at Turin?
I didn't recognize the true meaning of the Olympics at all. My mind was somewhere else when I was there. But this time, I'm going to think what the best that I can do during that time.

-What are your thoughts towards the Olympics?
I'd like to get a gold medal of the Olympics. It's always same from 4 years ago.

Ganbare!! Daisuke!!

BTW, I love his gorgeous costume for the short program no matter what they say!! Daisuke gets Olympics and Worlds 2010 Icon_razz

Hi, annajuly, welcome to DTFF!! Daisuke gets Olympics and Worlds 2010 Icon_biggrin

I hope so, too. I want him to continue his skating life as long as he can as an athlete after the Olympics.

Thank you so much for links and traslation! Very Happy

I hope Daisuke will go to the Worlds in Torino... that's why I've got a ticket Razz

... but I think it will depend on the Olympic Games' results... and first of all I really hope he can see his dreams come true.

BTW, no matter about the costume... I only want to see him live again! Wink

Please, can someone translate what is said from the audience at 1:40?

Daisuke said, "My performance at Nationals was not suitable for a champion," and someone in the audience shouted, "That's not true!" Razz

Hi:

Leode, thanks a lot for so much info. I am glad that Dai is going to skate at the worlds.

BTW, like Hushs, I love the costume for Phinlandia better than current one. I do not like the fact that current costume disturbs his neck line, especially on the right hand side due to too much decoration.

Leode, how about soliciting voting from the members re; his costume?
Costume contest, everyone？

-Now, you're back after the injury. How do you feel about your performance at the Nationals?
I'm very appreciate to be one of representatives of Japan for the Olympic Games. however, I'm extremely disappointed my performance as ace of Japan. From this experience, I hope I never do it again next time.
- It was good for you that you were making a lunch box by yourself?
Yes, it's ture. (laughing)

7:35
- Takahashi-kun, actually, I think you didn't have enough time to be back your performance completely after the injury. It's so hard to be back for you?
Yes, I think I need more one year to be back my performance completely, however, it's good for me that I pushed myself quickly in the short term.
- You focused on your performance, did you?
Yes, I got irritated as I didn't have so much time to practice. But, because of the reason, I had to focus on my performance completely for the short time.
