Other than the new SP, he skated a sort of comedy program with Ilia and Yamato and Eye in the Olympic Medley reported before. I have to thank Shizuka that I could see Ilia's Rhapsody in Blue in person! Takahiko's SP was cool. I liked it. Belbin/Agosto and Kristoffer Berntsson were really nice.
And the finale choreographed by Shae-Lynn was LMFAO Party Rock Anthem. Dai-chan seemed to enjoy it a lot.

I will go to see the last two shows on Sunday. Very Happy

Of course Genki!
But I think, this season, with those programs, the judges will have no choice but to score Dai properly!

Thanks miyu for all the info!

I hope Yamato doesn't terrorize Dai too much this time Laughing

Enjoy the shows! flower

Oh, sorry Genki and thank you Miyu I love you

It was a NHK NEWS web and I don't know it will work but try this;

The collabo with Ilia and Yamato was very good. They skated to "Humoresque" and Dai's skating was so light as a feather but very humorous. I felt so luxurious.....

And as Miyu said, Olympic medley also very very good. I'm really thankful to get a chance to see this. Shizuka knows our minds so well. Very precious moment. A little bit nostalgic for Japanese figure skate fans.

Yeah, and it's the first showing! Probably he needs a little more time to practice as the program seems very very difficult and complex to skate.
Most of the twitts about his new SP from the audience tonight are positive. Very Happy

Thanks again miyu!
The only bad thing about FOI is camera work there silent

I hope they show Dai's program like in the first clip, not stupid closeups during steps like in the second one

.

I can imagine how nervous Dai must have been if Mamoru Samuragochi was attending the show, no wonder his jumps were not perfect.

Thanks fosse and Shyla for the beautiful pictures!

But today I will stare on this one - http://cdn.c.photoshelter.com/img-get/I0000j96pIg115ZI/s/1000/aflo-qdwa027163.jpg Laughing

In the opening Dai was in VAS costume, the idea was more than 'fun' for that Disco routine. Actually he was funning around all day, dancing near the exit from the backstage, chatting with everyone, etc. In the opening he did 3T and two Russian split jumps in a row. Then he showed up in collaboration with Tamura and Ilya in the' Another Orion' grey shirt. The number was some comedy where Tamura was in pajamas and Ilya with Dai were miming some ballet routine. They all did 3T and 2A. In the "Present" part this time Dai and Honda were acting as Shizuka's helpers. Dai was pretending to be a magician in all that fun.

The second half started with Olympic Medley where Dai skated the last part of Eye, starting from the circular steps, in the original costume. HOT!
Then he showed up to present his new SP Sonatina. Except that both pieces are classical music, I don't see anything in common between MS and new SP. MS was a sophisticated tribute to Royal Opera House where Dai was a ballet dancer on the luxury stage. Sonatina is a pain of an artist who is looking for the right solution for his painting because he doesn't feel satisfied. It's a tribute to Creation and Art. This suffer and tense of an artist goes through all SP and leaves no empty second for Dai. The costume has quite different impression than MS's one. The color black in torso part is very strong, deep black. The left sleeve is not 'fixed', therefore it's up and down every time Dai moves his hands, which he does a lot and beautifully, catching your eyes, and the deep black in torso makes the whole impression even stronger. This SP will hit the abnormal record of views on youtube when it goes public, especially in competitions. Tonight he went for 4T, ended up with 3T and two-footed. On 3A the hand indeed went very low but I think he didn't touch the ice, was just a little close to that though. The 3Z was out of nowhere and went into steps right after. But Dai looked not really satisfied with himself when he finished skating. The prog technically is quite a challenge. Emotionally and artistically- it will go to 'History of FS' books.
In a finale Dai with Kozuka did a jump together and both fell. In that silly finale it looked "right on spot". Lol.

Tomorrow I will go to the evening show. Videos are not allowed, so I could film only ikebanas in the lobby and arena. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWI5PT-yr-Y
