Music that you want Dai to skate next season

Hi Guys.
To survice a long off season and lack of Dai disease, I guess it is a good idea to talk about the new music and programs that we want him to skate next season. I really enjoy thinking about this.

Here are some of my choices so far.

It is an olympic season, so I want Dai to skate to Powerful Classics(Russian composers maybe?) for long and some thing non classic for short.

Here are some of my choices for short program.

Pasodoble.( Tango is perfect for him, but maybe people are little tired of it)

Here's my dancing hero Slavik is doing Paso. The movement without music really shows the characteristics of this dance so well. Very sexy.

Soul

Beautiful Bach(This is classic but I just can not ignore these.)
https://youtu.be/WZXM2eq46_s (Dai actually skated to this a few years ago, but only few people saw it because it was skated only at Kandai festival.)

For long, I do not know too much about classics, so I would like to invite you to provide some ideas.

Dai can make everything look so great, I hardly can wait for the new programs

Thanks, Genki, for nice thread. Really good choices

Actually, I am so Dai-addicted that when I heard some music/songs that I really like, my beloved boy immediately starts skating it in my mind So, maybe I am OT, but instead of searching for some music suitable for him and/or Sochi, I put here a song that I really love - I don't care if it is not his usual style of music, he skates it in my dreams at least once a day

Jane's Addiction - Irresistible Force (hope I load it right - I am so dummy in using pc)

Don't mind the lyrics, just the title: Dai is an Irresistible Force, drawing our hearts on ice with him Who could resist?

Your welcome.
The music that you chose is very very sexy. A few fans may faint.

YOu know, Dai may never skate tango again at olympic season, but it is so very
dai that I just can not shake off tango completely.

If he skates another tango at Sochi , these are my choices.
I guarantee that they need medics to take care of many fainting women

Gotan Project-santa maria( Probably the sexiest of all Medics will be really really busy at Sochi.https://youtu.be/ajHLQnwUGt0

Thanks, Genki.
Listening to the music you choose and imaging Dai in all his beauty and sexyness (this word does not exist in Englis, I know)....I am fainting....
And I have to go at work...bloody Monday...I wish I could stay here to hear music and dream of Dai all day long

Have a nice Dai day

Your welcome. Good Dai day to you too.

Agree that classic music would be really appreciated in Sochi, but strolling on YT I have found some "classics" with a touch of modernity:


I know that Mozart is overused, but this great performance by wonderful Keith Jarrett/Chick Corea is really good

Mozart The Piano Concerto No.10 in E-Flat major for two piano KV365 (361a)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S1iHZEQXrE
Easy to imagine Dai dancing on keyboard, creating the music with his blades

This is a classic contemporary composer
Philip Glass - Morning Passages (If I remember right, it is part of The Hours soundtrack)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iB0sXWwH_eA
Smooth, but not banal or ordinary

Also this one is a classic contemporary composer
Karl Jenkins - Adiemus
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tafxr8Nuvq
Maybe more suitable for an EX, because it is a calm and even music, with no crescendo. BTW the video is fantastic, with music combined with great BBC nature pics

And this one, my favourite, that combines modern and classic music in a perfect mix
The Piano Guys perform Code Name Vivaldi (Bourne Soundtrack/Vivaldi Double Cello Concerto)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09RUuTAM2H0
Changes between classic and modern paces, to combine with jumps and Dai's great steps sequence.

Hope you enjoy

Thanks, Pattina.

I really enjoyed these beautiful music, I even choreographed a bit for Dai in my mind.
For all these excellent choies, I loved the the last one the best. It seems like there is a lot of influence from Bach, whom I really love

I am speculating that Moron-nov is going to choose Rachmaninove (sorryI do not know how to spell it.) for Dai. Because the Olympic is in Russia. I just wish it is not going to be something really overused.

Also, I can not give up that Dai is going to skate, the masterpiece to" Borelo" that all figure skating fans have a special longing in their heart.

It is his last Olympic,I fervently wish that Dai is going to finish his amateur career with truly unforgettable performance just like Tobel/Dean. I am dreaming that I will be shedding tears of joy like a water fall after watching Dai's long program in Sochi.

Here's "Borelo" choreographed by Kenji by Mki Ando

Happy Dai day to you too.



Here's

I've always wanted him to skate to some soulful Marvin Gaye's piece.
He's got the soul....and the depth!
