from 8:48, Dai's message to younger athletes who dream of competing at the Games
"Everything that happens to you along the way has a meaning, regardless if you're aware of it or not. It's all up to you how meaningful it can be or just meaningless it shall be. And don't rush yourself. One step at a time.
I believe there is nothing meaningless that happens to someone, though it may appear plain meaningless (to the person at first or to someone else), and I would rather see such a things is 'necessary' on its way to progress (as an athlete/person). Looking back my path so far, I did things which at first appeared meaningless. I made many mistakes, too. But if you are afraid of making a mistake and hesitate going for it, it may stop you from progressing. That's how I, at least, have progressed as a skater all these years. Mistakes that I made in the past helped what I am today. I have never been scolded for making a mistake by my coach. <in a small voice...well, it said so, clearly on her face a couple of times, though...(laugh).> Haste makes waste in the end. We sometimes need a roundabout route in life."
Just uploaded on its website. HERE YOU GO!
not sure if it's the whole documentary or just a part of it, though. :scratch: Will be aired on Thursday, they say.

The source read GS and then translated into Japanese.However, the audience reaction told it all; how deliciously he skated that night.
... was just fabulous that made audience almost forget they actually were watching 'a sport'. The way he spins every note of the music with his whole body left an ever-lasting vivid recollection among those who witnessed it as one of the finest art in the world.
