He yells for Yuzuru Hanyu in the article.

Have a beautiful Sunday, ladies!

Thanks for the translation Nobu.  I watched the NHK and was surprised when they announced Yuzuru and Patrick Chan had withdrawn.  I had no idea about Yuzuru's injury prior to tuning in.  As disappointing as their absences were I was happy that Sergei Voronov won.

Many on-line newspapers shared the news about Fuji's Olympian Casters and our dear Nobu san translated one article!! Domo Arigato!!! for ever grateful!!!

NHK tv info about next episode of "Sports x Manga"

http://www4.nhk.or.jp/boku-man/x/2017-11-24/11/9292/2556017/

Today Dai was in Tokyo promoting Tokyo 2020 Olympics and Paralympic Games, with Kuniko Asuka, Team Leader of Japan Paralyimpic Team

The event Dai has promoted is the opening of a shop for official Tokyo 2020 Olympic & Paralympic merchandise

JijiPress official video. Dai seems a bit embarrassed with his Ascot-tie    I wonder    if it's a real Ascot-tie or a normal tie he managed to fold as an Ascot (I've seen a similar tie, which indeed could be the one he has, and it's Italian brand. that's why I'm curious).  He picks up a pochette with manga/anime characters and point to "One Piece"    Once he said it's is favourite manga.

Oh my Dai looks so gorgeous! I am so glad he is involved with the Paralympic games! These athletes deserve our support. They never let their disability prevent them from excelling in sport.

Thanks for all the updates Pattina! Nobu thank you for the translation!

Seems Dai has stopped his Instastories adventure. Is he already tired of the new toy he used so often in September?     Or has he lost his pw?   Well, we'll never know. Luckily, Miki Ando san offers us this pic on her Instastories.  Miki, of course we know who he is - those deep, warm, brilliant eyes    

LOL Dai-chan you can't fool us. He even looks good in a mask!

There was a new interview from Carnival On Ice 2017.

Here is a translation: https://minotsu.tumblr.com/post/167648628503/daisukes-interview-from-carnival-on-ice-2017

As I mentioned on tumblr, it seems Dai already made two costumes for his new Guilty Crown program, one feminine style and the other masculine. In fact, he mentioned his new costume during the closed talk show and the costume was based on a lady dress pattern and they cut the hem with scissors while he tried to skate in it on ice. Just wondering when we can see the other one.

Huge thanks to our dear Nobu san for translation!!! After all these years, Dai is still nervous and concerned about his abilities before taking the ice to perform a new program. Love this!! And in spite of all his fears about a good performance, he delivered a great, powerful and intense Krone.

Maybe Dai will present new version of Krone at XOI - or at least new costume!! Eager to see both!!

Here is the original interview

Have a great day, ladies!

Nobu..... I have no words to thank you properly!!!

At the time of his injury I didn't know Dai - I started later to look for info and learn about his career and personal life.  Although so much time has passed, any time I watch/read about this time of his life I feel pain in my heart. I can only imagine how much he suffered and how hard he fought, bravely. And how painful it was for all his devoted fans.

Posted by Jeremy Abbot on Instastory this morning 01 a.m. US time. They are in a town near Detroit. I don't know what Dai is doing there and when he arrived. So, so glad to see him happy with friends also outside Japan.         (what is he wearing a blue-jeans skirt )

Krone commented by Tatsuki Machida - with English subs!!! Thanks a million to kind translator/uploader Loose yourself in a dream

Lucky fans who will see it live in less than one month!!!

Have a Dai-gorgeous MonDai

Jeremy's mom posted very warm words of gratitude for Dai who asked her son for a choreo

New SPOTLIGHT officially announced!!! This Thursday on News Zero!!! If I get it right, Dai visited a tematic park during closure time

https://www.facebook.com/newszero/photos/a.391728004232685.92689.155460631192758/1734109009994571/?type=3&theater

I was so happy for Anna and Luca such beautiful programs especially their FD. Thrilled for
Satoko for winning the Gold. It was a long journey back for her. She was the class of the Ladies field at SA.

Looking forward to Dai's new program choreographed by Jeremy. I like most of Jeremy's work but
some of his programs are really out there for my taste. Dai will probably perform it at XOI.

Nobu I cannot access your translations When I click on the link I get a black and white page that says "This Tumblr may contain sensitive media" if I click that page it brings me to a sign in page.
I never had this problem before.

Pattina thanks for updates!
