Wheeeee!!! 

I like it today more than yesterday after repeating his performance again and again in my brain..

let's talk thank you for report: keen and good as usual.  I like the comparison between MS and Sonatina. And cannot wait to see FS   Oh, thanks for new link.

Ilica, thank you for link to new video with kids. Dai looks so happy when devoting his time to possible future skating stars.

You can't contemplate perfection for the whole day  
Or can you?

But Dai's hairy armpits ARE perfection!

Or aren't they?

Can anyone kindly translate other tweets about Dai-chan from Mamoru Samuragochi?

When we asked Takahashi-senshu why he chose this piece of music,  he answered "it is a piece in which I feel hope and just simply love it."  With the words he (Samuragochi) was just simply moved, too.

Of course they are.. different kind of perfection  !

I'll go back to contemplate them when I finish contemplating the new clip, let`s talk has linked!

Thank you for your report Let'stalk!

Dai told Mamoru that he was very nervous to skate in front of him today. I wonder if it had to do with his non stellar performance. Everybody is talking about constant movement from Dai in Sonatine. It must very demanding on him, physically and emotionally.

Two weeks is better than a month, but who can wait that long?

Hi guys!

Thank you so much for the report, pictures and videos. You are great!  

Can't wait to see Daisuke's new SP (oh... two weeks). I really like the music.

Great report let's talk and thanks for the new clip of Dai's SP!

Thank you Let's talk. I love your great report. Everything is there.

The prog technically is quite a challenge. Emotionally and artistically- it will go to 'History of FS' books.

According to some show reports, Ice surface seemed to be really bad cause of high temperature yesterday.
Small rink, spotlights and melting ice..
Skaters, Be careful!!

I think we would be read very similar reporting after premiere of his FP.
Speed with ease and fluidity in program seem to be most valuable with COP.
As we know, Lori is very good at those parts and Kenji seemed to make a program for showcase of Daisuke's SS and fluidity-that means we can feel a lack of WOW factors and characteristic movements.
I think if John Curry competes with today's skater, no one beat him in PCS because of his fluidity(not his great artistry).
Judges would be wait Curry-like program.


And thanks let's talk for your interesting reporting.
Can't wait..  

My favorite "doradora-san" 's compilation of " Sonachine"

What am I going to do? I am already crying:shock:

I don't know about Dai's FS, but just the beginning of Sonatina sent me on my knees! It definitely starts with the WOW factor for me! I don't know what's next, looks great to me. But, are there some negative opinions about this program? Is it over-dramatic or something? Is it just constant moves that lack WOW factors? Sorry if I sound paranoid, it's just that I am very excited about this program and I don't want to be disappointed...
Sorry, I don't want to force anybody to answer my stupid questions!  I can wait two weeks and see myself.
Not everyone must love this music as much as I do  !
I'll better shut up and watch beautiful "doradora-san" 's compilation!
Thank you Genki!

fosse, thank you for your comment and for technical explanation. BTW, I agree as regards John Curry, so fluid and smooth.  

Anyway, for me Dai-chan himself is a WOW factor whatever he does; and if we feel a lack of characteristic movements...we can always think to his hairy armpits up  

Genki, thank you for link to doradora-san's video, so good job as ever.

Have you all a nice Dai-week end (oh, for sure it will be a wonderful Dai-week end for Rascals going to shows - enjoy!!)

I love your sense of humour, PATTINA!  
 
I don't think it's important at this time of the year but some of you might want to know it. It seems his jumps in the aftrenoon show were 4T(2 foot), 1A and 3Lz.


Thank you for the link, Genki! I can't stop repeating it!!!

Miyu, thank you so much for this, I must have missed it yesterday. I'm so happy to hear this. It seems Dai-chan and Mamoru Samuragochi found a connection. He (his rep) replied to one of my tweet in English saying he was impressed.

You are welcome and well done, ostile17!! I found your tweet. Grazie, grazie!

Don't worry ilica.
As reading of reports, most of audience thought his program has great potential.
the program is still newborn baby that needs time to grow.

I am not good at english to explain eveything what I think so put a video.

I wonder what your impression is after watching that video.

What I talk about that we can miss blues' sexy moves or Swan's hiphop moves or..etc in Sonatine or Beatles but if Daisuke does everything properly from beginning to ending, his program itself becomes WOW factor.

Thank you so very much, for your live reports, miyu, masy and let’s talk.   

I can’t stop repeating for bits of the SP on the YT here and there, thanks to you all for the links.

Even without watching it as a whole it is overwhelming. It seems to be a quite powerful ride of emotion to see the full program. I’m glad that Mr. Samuragochi and Daisuke had a very positive exchange.

Love the funny part of the show as well.  
Is his lovely armpit hair a regular of FOI now??
(Thinking of his yellow tank top from last year show.. )

fosse, you explained it well since first time  
My intention was to make you laughing thinking about moves (yes, sexy ones too) and hairy armpits  

Sonatina or Beatles will be WOW and Dai-chan will do things properly, I am sure of it, I have positive thoughts. I want to have positive thoughts.  

BTW, I started to know about John Curry after you posted some of his videos and I will always thank you for this gift.  

Have you all a nice Dai-day

I wasn't available for the afternoon show today, but probably this performance ^ made him change the jump layout in the evening show, the one that I attended. He didn't do a quad, he did 3F from steps instead, light and easy. His 3A (yeah, trixel) was done with the similar mistake that he made last night- one hand down, then 3Lutz clean. His final spin was better performed then yesterday, where he almost stopped after changing the position but then regained the speed again. Tonight it was fine, yet the speed went down at some point. All the rest is the same in terms of emotions and presentation. He looked quite fine after the performance. Actually he looks fine non-stop there, having fun and enjoying the kick. Probably he doesn't take it seriosuly and simply wants to enjoy  FrOI as the last day of summer before the Olympic season.  .
In other stuff like collaboration and finale he with other guys did the set jumps of 3T and 2A. In the opening he again did two Russian split jumps in a row. They are huge!  
But his hair is awful . I hate his hair dresser!  

Tomorrow I will go to both shows.

Dai looks so happy with Mamoru!    

Thank you for the report, let'stalk!

Funny Let's talk that you mentioned Dai's hair I was just thinking about his hair. Maybe he is growing it out so
that he can get a Beatles haircut for his LP.

Thanks for the report!

Ostile great tweets!

Thank you for the great report (as always), let's talk! 

Here is Akio Sasaki's tweet, who is one of elite skaters of Japan and was in the evening show. Did you find him, let's talk? It seems he was one of Shae-Lynn's band with Yukari Nakano(!!).

Daisuke-kun is really awesome~
Cool~
And a very very nice person~

"I" do think no skater can win over Daisuke-kun, no matter what the score is.
Well yes, I wan to win in future, though. (lol)


 

Thanks a lot for a fabulous report, Let's talk.

Really? I thought it looks nice off ice, but yeah, on ice it may be too long.
But do not worry, Nagasawa san will take care of it soon. He got my hair done last year when I was in Japan. Really skillful and a very nice person.

Also thanks a lot for links, twitters and a lot of lot of pictures. This helps to decrease pain of waiting for 2 weeks significantly. How can I live without your guys???

It's Saturday in USA, I am spending most of my days, repeating Doradora-sans videos.

Happy Dai day, everyone!!
