His jumps are as smooth as butter! Almost four years after retirement and his jumps look
better than ever!

First show of Golden Moment Hawaii is on its way.

According to fans' tweets, Dai skated "Lilac Wine"

Thanks to kind fan who shared!!!

Gorgeous skating from Dai! Thanks for all the goodies Pattina you made my dreary Monday
much brighter! Dai dancing with the little girl is so adorable. OK I give up where else did Dai wear the party shirt?

So glad that Dai will be doing XMAS on Ice again! I love that show.

It's different, of course, but it reminds us of the weird costume of "Turn off the Lights" at AIO2015 with Nelly Furtado

Fill your eyes with Dai's beauty      

http://www.tvguide.or.jp/feature/kissandcry/20170912/01.html

You have a much better memory than me Pattina. I like the shirt a whole lot better than the Turn Off the Lights outfit which was not one of my favorites but I do see the similarities.

Dorky Dai is hilarious his look is a little scary and dark. Like he is saying yeah leave me alone I am tired
and want to rest. lol

Thanks for all the Daibeauty Pattina!

New Dai-Instastory!!! just an hour ago      

He is still in Honolulu - it's Diamond Head in the back

This fan was at Golden Moment - she (I guess) posted wonderful pics too many to be linked one by one, so please take a look at her account

https://twitter.com/Amy_f_Amy/media

I'm leaving in a few hours for Bergamo for Lombardia Trophy. I have no laptop with me, so for next days  I cannot update (it's quite hard from my mobile). Eager to watch Shoma's official debut in competition tomorrow!!!    And to cheer many other great skaters.  See you next week!!

Have fun at Lombardia! Give a big cheer to Shoma for me and to the other great group of skaters competing. Unfortunately Anna and Luca have withdrawn. Anna cut her hand in practice and received 15 stitches. So we will have to wait to see their programs. I think they will be at Finlandia

Aloha!!

I had fun at the Golden Moment Hawaii. I had to squeeze those 2 days show into my normal working Non-weekend (working at a facility that is 24-7, MY weekends are never on Saturday-Sunday), I couldn't do much reporting, sorry but there are so many great report, especially program videos, so I am so happy and relieved. No luck for having any TV program out of it, but somehow recorded, from different angles!

I had a great luck this time that I decided to get the sponsor's tickets to join the Meet & Greet after the 2nd day show. The pic of Dai and Jeremy is from that event.

Also I posted these on Twitter

PATTINA, enjoy your trip and the competition!!!!!!!

Aloha Twind  So glad you made it to GM with your crazy work schedule. I am sure Dai
appreciated his fans making the trip and you went to the meet and greet how exciting for
you.

Thanks for sharing, much appreciated!

Here is Shoma's amazing SP and FS at Lombardia! He was wonderful! Uncle Dai must be proud!

Twind, so glad to have you here!! and so happy you could attend the show and the Meet&Greet!!!

Your videos are so nice and Dai is so cute while counting seats, handling flowers, creating a space of his own with pens and bottles...

Sorry, Jeremy, you are very nice and blonde and all that, but for me you cannot compete with Dai's dark beauty of skin, hair and eyes.... and wrinkles

Still from Golden Moment - thank a lot to kind uploaders!!!

THE ICE - Finale with Dai skating to Carmen with Mai, Mirai and Taka Mura. Look at his fierce gaze!! He could melt the ice!!

http://dai.ly/x611x9d

Same DM account uploaded also other videos from full broadcast of THE ICE. What I don't understand is why they decided to cut short the tribute to Mao by TJ, just two seconds of step sequence instead of the much longer skating (spiral from Sochi and steps from Vancouver).   Dai doing a spiral is almost a miracle!!!


OffTopic: me and my personal  "Lombardia Trophy": Japanese flag signed by Shoma, Hiroaki Sato, Wakaba Higuchi and Yura Matsuda!! While posing for the pic I shouted "Yatta!!!" for the joy of all Japanese ladies around

EDIT - Just now, watching the pic I notice that I was keeping it in the wrong way (you can see that sign JPN - in Shoma's signature - on top left of the pic is reversed) - I was too upset


Have a Dai-gorgeous Daiday    

Welcome back Pattina! Hope you enjoyed the competition! Missed you
Wow so nice to get Team Japan's autographs on your flag!
