"We want to create a Latin dance that has never been seen before." The reason for the confidence that ice dance Kana Muramoto and Daisuke Takahashi showed about the revision of the rules, "We want to create an atmosphere that is unique to us" (Mie Noguchi)
English translation "We have received many concerns about the hurricane in Florida, but please be assured that Muramoto and Takahashi have been evacuated to an undamaged area and are continuing to practice at the evacuation site for the GP America. We would like to ask for your continued support." Source: Daisuke Takahashi Road to the World
Unfortunately I'm late, sorry, so various stories have disappeared now, but Daisuke Takahashi Road to the World saved them here!!
The first story Dai posted is indeed a repost of this IG post by Raffaella Koncius - seems they are training at the Miami Ice Rink (according to the date, the pic was taken/posted before the trip to NYC)
Have a great Dai-week!!

KanaDai are listed to take part at Challenger Series "Denis Ten Memorial" (26/29 October 2022)
Unfortunately from 25 to 28 afternoon I'll be abroad for an office meeting in Spain. So, no way for me to watch competitions live on tv or streaming (unless some will occurr on Sunday 29).

Akio Hayano san (apologize but I don't know who he is) posted some instastories, some of KanaDai. Unfortunately what he posted yesterday is already disappeared but he has added some few hours ago. Look how good they are!! Smiling, happy and relaxed
Deepl. Translation "How many years has it been? The hurricane knocked out our base rink, and where now I'm being allowed to practice, I'm reunited with Nikolai, who I didn't expect! What? Since the Sochi Olympics? LOL! He invited me to dinner and we had a nice chat after a long time! Thank you for meeting me again like this . I heard from everyone that it's been a long time since XOI 2014."

Hello ye faithful fans holding down the fort here! Thank you so much for keeping the forum up to date Please let me join you and keep fingers crossed for Kanadai.
Friday practice - POTO here! Oh those costumes! Gorgeous both of them. It's so fascinating to see them both develop. To my perception, Kana has increased in charisma even more. Dai has grown in elegance and poise. His fluidity of movement is back, and Kana is part of the flow now. Great programs, already being celebrated.
I am happy May they perform with joy and pleasure and enchant everyone! May they achieve their goals! In bocca al lupo! Gamba

Sonabilis, glad to find you here again!!
Thank you for photo and video. OMG so intense Love the very start, both intertwining on the ice before starting to dance. In my mind I see this part as the very beginning of a love story, when lovers get in touch then go apart maybe not sure of the new feeling. And then love takes over
RD and FD costumes are super wonderful!!
Shyla, congrats and all the best to your niece. Enjoy the family event.
GO GO GO KANADAI!!!

KanaDai are in 5th place after the RD, not so bad and they will skate in the second and last group for the Free Dance.
They lost points with the RLift, just level 1 and extended so they got a -1 deduction But they got GOE 4.07 for their initial Choreo Rhythm (a lot more of Latin art in the very few moments than the rest of teams)
I watched the competition on the YT ISU Skating channel although I had a bad connection. The ISU commentator was - as always - enthusiastic with Dai-chan, praising him a lot for his talent and artistry. A roar from audience and long applause with cheers when speaker announced their names
When KanaDai were ready for the starting pose, the close up shot included both and Dai was wearing his "hot sexy" gaze and mouth: the audience saw it on the rink big screen and laughed (and Dai smiled a bit)
Apologize, I have to leave now. Congrats to Kaori for her firts place after Women Short and Kudos to US Ilia Malinin, first skater to land a clean 4A in competition and winner for Men (and congrats to Kao Miura for silver)

Just had time to look at Kanadai's RD today, via your Twitter link Pattina, thank you! On yt unfortunately (yet) nothing to find.
Now that's a performance! The audience was obviously of same opinion. Pity about the lost levels, but seems they see it calmly and are not so frustrated. It feels to me as if they have now arrived at themselves and their style. And immediately they start to transcend the ice dance genre, like Dai did in single skating. Not sure if it will necessarily translate into scores or even medals. Especially since they lack the years of reputation building. Their mistakes rather wont be looked upon with leniency. Moreover, for what they deliver, the scoring system has no adequate reward.
Pattina, it honestly surprised me that Dai was "the driving force" behind their decision to continue. But all the better.
I'm glad they are internationally present - and hope in a few hours there will be another Kanadai feast of performance, high skill and finest art on ice

Hi everyone just catching up with Kana and Dai's season debut. WOW! Their programs including their Exhibition are wonderful. I think they did very respectful given that this was their first competition. The cheers and support from the audience was heartwarming and I am sure they appreciated it. Looking forward to their next competition. Thanks for all the updates!.

Hello and thank you Pattina for the dailymotion links! You saved me
anya3lz3lo on Instagram providing series of beautiful photos. (Link goes to profile, so will update).
Yes Kanadai are already in Almaty. On 26th at 10am is the draw for RD order. Time zone CEST+4, so EDT+10 I think? Phew that's a lot. More than NHK/Warsaw Cup last year. May they cope well with jet lag!
Have a nice and peaceful day you all!
