Congratulations! Do you think Chris watched the video? I hope so.

I'm sure he did, or he wouldn't have retweeted it. It's directly them who tweet, mainly Chris, that's why I am so happy!

Somehow the picture from the Listerine CM shooting in NYC still shows on DTRtS:

I think Troy deleted the tweet because of CM Listerine stuff (they asked him perhaps), nothing related to Dai himself.
Well, welcome to the Internet

I just simply adore this piece. Such a telling gem of Dai's nature.

Folks are so missing him.  

OMG Let’s Talk.  Thank you so, so much for the link to the BM mix.  I never tire of seeing any version of this program.  I could watch it forever.

I will return the favor.

I was so busy lately, but I will go to this station as soon as I can! - I have to touch that dirty wall    (maybe I won't do something stupid, like writing "DAI-CHAN WAS HERE" on it, for example... )

It looks like Dai was at Applebees. https://instagram.com/p/2tkMxaLJ66/

Ilica and Hazelq please keep your eyes wide open should you happen to dine out.

Awww I hope Dai-chan was joking about being alone and bored at Applebees.
Sounds like he might be a little homesick.

ilica and Hazelq you both need to find Dai quickly and show him around
NYC so he won't be alone.

Thanks everyone for all of the updates!

Thank you for the Instagram link Dancergirl. So Happy to see he keeps giving us news on his new life.

Daichan! You can make tons of friends in NY. Don't be shy!
(And watch out your calories! by Obachan fans)

NOOO...
Dai-chan contact me, or maybe I could write to him or something. You should be enjoying NYC, not eating alone!!!


Well, I checked Google Maps and there are two Applebee's in Manhattan (two more in Harlem) and I spent the entire day in the area...  I'm just not a lucky person...

Dancergirl, thanks for link. And thank you Dai-chan for sharing part of your life with us!!

Dai wrote in English He wants to let us know that his English lessons are fruiful and he is learning quickly

Ilica and Hazelq, your challenge is now urgent: you have to save Dai-chan from more lonely and boring lunches/dinners !!!! It's week-end and so many things in NY to discover and enjoy!! Please, rescue him!!!!

Have you all a gorgeous Dai-weekend!  

Ilica

There are many more actually, you have forgotten the other boroughs...

Ilica you could always cross reference Applebees with schools/universities that are in
the same area. This may help you in your quest.

Awww..
Don't be discouraged ilica!! His NY life has just started!

Dai-chan from Tetsuko's Room with English:

(My PC both desktop main and laptop is not working correctly for a program to embed the subtitles. Now   I have to add a file directy to YT video... )

Edit:

I re-uploaded for something I tried to fix.

Pattina, it didn't even occur to me that he's practicing his English so that's a very good point.  
Shyla, you also made a very good point about cross referencing with the schools in the area.
Ilica and Hazelq, you must take Shyla's advice and get on it!
Twind, thank you so much for the latest treat.  It's so funny when the hostess mentions that she will think of touching him every time she sees him skate. Thank you also for the extra step you must go through when translating for us.  It's much appreciated.

Thanks Twind that was so much funnier now that I could understand what was being said.
She is quite a character!

Dai got so so wistful as he answered her last question regarding the hardest part of
his career and he said the past two years leading up to Sochi.

Twind thank you so much!! It's really funny!! OMG Tetsuko san was amazing trying to describe to audience what she felt under her fingers

I envy her

As Shyla wrote, Dai in the end is so serious about the last two years... he did not say that much, but his eyes and beautiful face told more than a million words.

Twind - thank you so much!!! What a treat for us, it is so much better when we can understand!
Tetsuko-san is really something    but she has expressed aunties thoughts too - figure skating is so boring without Dai-chan and how we wish to see his unmatchable performances again...

Oh I didn't (I live in Brooklyn right now), but there were so many dots outside of Manhattan, I choose to ignore them for my convenience Besides there is a dance school close to these two Applebees in which the man that choreographed Cyber Swan for Dai teaches, so I did as Shyla said
   
OK now speaking seriously - of course I know that the chance for me to meet Dai is practically zero, sometimes I look at the mass of people on the streets and think how could I spot someone so tiny and fast moving     in that sea of people??
But it doesn't matter much to me - just the thought that HE is somewhere near makes me happy. I like to seat somewhere in Manhattan and imagine where he is and what he is doing at the moment I know, I'm crazy, but it still feels like a miracle to me

Thank you Dai-chan!  

Thank you Dai-chan!!!

TRICERATOPS!!!!!!!!
#americanmuseumofnaturalhistory

What a face both of them

Have a gorgeous Dai-Sunday

I love Dai looking dorky at the museum, so cute! Thanks ilica for posting!

AMNH is one of my favorite museums, so much to see that you can get lost
for hours in there!

Tatiana Volosohzar (with Max Trankov) was there, too, and posted pics more or less at same time as Dai.

Just a coincidence?

His selfy (or taken by someone?) on his own IG, finally!    
Thank you Dai-chan and thank you ilica!

His face is hilarious!!
A boy will be a boy for forever.    
(So will the kids on the floor behind.   )

Edit:
Tatiana, too? She is even closer to Dai. (I believe he has known her since before she got teamed up with Maxim.)  
Thank you PATTINA!

During this almost entirely funny video. it still broke my heart realizing his clock has stopped after Sochi, more or less, when I heard that he said "These past two years" meaning only upto Sochi even after full 10 months with tons of events had happened... [/_;]

         

I added another video.

Have a wonderful Dai-dream!

Twind, I get here to post link to your video... you arrived first!!

Thanks a lot, once again, for bringing Dai even more closer to our heart, translating his words.

This wonderful for-ever-boy

NO!  A day before Dai wrote in his IG that he was lonely and bored in NYC. So, a kind-hearted Tatiana, who has known him for years, contacted him and took to the museum. Max took all the pics. I am absolutely sure that is what happened.
