| Thanks Shyla and also for reminding me that I've gone off topic! Sorry fellow Dai fans. Believe me, I haven't forgotten how Nathan churned out all those quads but it's super frustrating to watch an uninteresting skate and then to see that's the one that wins. It drives me crazy. I thought that the ISU was going to address this problem but clearly their attempt this past season hasn't worked. Especially for fans like me who want to see what true skating skills and artistry are all about. I know you can't please everyone all of the time but come on. It seems like nothing has been resolved. I have to say that I was really happy with Michael Brezina's FS. He didn't make the podium but he still has "it". I'm such a fan and always have been. | |

| Apologies for one more off topic comment but I wanted to add that when Dai retired in 2014 I felt the only skater that comes close to him, in style, is Shoma. I have always rooted for Shoma but didn't feel I was as invested in him as I was with Dai. Each year since 2015 I think I have become more invested in Shoma than I realized because I am still seething tonight! I hope Shoma will take some time to himself to rest and come back stronger next season.
Another off topic subject: Ichiro Suzuki retired and I'm not a baseball fan but am aware of all of his accomplishments so have been reading articles about how much respect the world seems to have for him. What a career and what a super nice man. I read that one of the things that set him apart from other great players is the fact that no one disliked him. He had fans around the world who had other favourite teams but they all loved Ichiro along with all the baseball players. It reminded me of Dai and how the skating world loves him and he also has fans around the world. I've been feeling sad about Ichiro's retirement so the fact that Shoma didn't make the podium and Yuzu won the silver was just another blow to my depressing week.
At least we have Hyoen and the summer ice shows to look forward to! Thank you, Dai fans, for putting up with my off topic rants. | |

| Hi Ladies!! Sorry, I've been busy in the last few days but it's great to return here to find your comments. The forum is live again!! I'll go a bit Off Topic: I agree with you and I feel very sorry Japan got only one medal. We cannot deny that unfortunately both Kaori and Rika did not skated clean but Satoko was underscored a lot (as usual). Shoma was clearly not healthy at his best, I bet he pushed a lot between Four Continents and Worlds and stressed his ankle, instead of healing it. But he fought till the end. Talking about PCS and artistry, if you give 87.28 to Vincent, Jason should have 120 while Yuzu, Shoma more than 100. All of them had higher pcs than Vincent, but the difference is not enough to make a distinction between a program that is just skated and a program that is "lived and performed and sensed" in any nuance. Shyla, I'm glad you appreciate Charlene/Marco I really love their skating. And it drives me crazy to know that they are underscored in PCS because Marco is not tall and "impressive" like, for instance Ivan Bukin or Andrew Poje. Now back to Dai-chan. Nothing new occurred, we can bet he is quite busy with Hyoen 2019. Today Dai will appear in NHK's "Shabekuri 007 Two Hours Spring Special" (see promo in posts above). Oh my adorkable Dai (probably is this the reason why he jumped on the tv man??? ). Unfortunately the promo was not available outside Japan. https://www.facebook.com/DaisukeTakahashiRoadtoSochi/posts/1513252992145594One more tv appearance: BS Asahi on 06th April 18:00 JT https://twitter.com/monsport5/status/1109679816574267392
https://www.facebook.com/DaisukeTakahashiRoadtoSochi/photos/a.667106950093540/1512788825525344/SportsNavi online magazine has a page for Tokyo 2020: they posted a video celebrating Dai in Vancouver 2010 as first Japanese Man to win an olympic medal https://2020.yahoo.co.jp/olympicchannel/video/player/1317121I posted it some days ago: - Quote :
- Olympic Channel asked Mao to describe skaters with a word: Dai-chan, Hanyu, Medvedeva and Zagitova
https://twitter.com/olympicchannel/status/1108873530186305538 Mao said "kakkoi" which Olympic Channel translated with Handsome, but it also means "Cool" and it fits Dai perfectly!!! Have a Dai-gorgeuous Daiweek!!! | |

| Hi Ladies. I also couldn't open that link and some of the twitter links but thank you Pattina for the ones I could view. I would love to know what Dai said when they were all laughing and one of the men imitates part of Dai's answer. I'm also very curious about what they were saying about Sochi. I thought the man speaking was saying something about the audience when he gestured with his hands and it seemed like he was paying Dai a compliment. He also mentioned Yuzu but I have no idea what was said about him either. | |

| Hi Dancergirl. Sorry you are not able to open some twitter links. Probably posts were deleted or accounts are now private. If you want, write the ones you cannot open and the reason and I'll try to find new ones. During the show, Dai-chan talked also about his experience as total coordinator for Sky-Court and D-color has updated the blog. https://www.d-color.tokyo/posts/5949376New tv appearance for Dai-chan on 04/04 at "Tetsuko's Room". Do you remember the old lady who squeezed his butts to taste the hardness of his muscles?? 2 interviews will be released soon: on Vogue Japan on 03/28 and on "Numero PLUS FIGURE SKATING TRACE OF STARS 2018-2019" on 04/04 Source https://d1sk.com/Please, take time to relax and watch the videos posted here. Nice and dorky moments of old TJ https://twitter.com/redgreendress/status/1110658992840339456 | |

| Thanks for all the updates Pattina. It's very kind of you to offer to find other links, for the ones that I couldn't open, but you've provided so many new ones that it's not necessary!
I love the Vogue photos. Dai is looking so classy.
If you're reading, Twind, thanks for the sub-titles. Hope you are well and we appreciate everything you do. | |

| Thanks for all the updates Pattina!
Congrats to Nobu on winning a seat at Dai's event. I'm so happy for you.
I'm dying to know who Dai was imitating when he did that mini dance.
Such sad news about the director of Hyoen. What a trooper to continue working while receiving treatment. Sending only good wishes to him.
Crazy news about Dai's graduation. There are so many mean spirited people out there and it's shocking to think that they waste their time and energy on nonsense. Who would even think and bother to post such rubbish. | |
