Beppu was hard affected by April 2016 earthquake on Kyushu Island (best know as Kumamoto Earthquake) and skaters showed their love for the city before the show

Dai and Shizuka Arakawa had a skating lesson for children on Friday 10th. Dai is kind and attentive sensei.

Dai landed a perfect 3A today during Finale of last show!!! :hap10: :hap10:

Dai can skate mesmerazing and beautiful programs without jumps, anyway I'm quite happy his wonderful 3A :love: is back and he is now confident to perform it in front of audience (he did a perfect 3A during practice at Ice Legends but he didn't try it during Mambo and did 2A)

Yesterday "DT vs DaiGo" was aired during tv show "Sports Flame" - Daisuke was "investigated" by "mentalist" DaiGo. Lot of fun (although I did not understand a single word, Dai is always so funny and dashing that watching is a joy). In one of the video, you can see moments of Dai practicing in LA for LOTF :respec:

One more day to go! :hap85:

Oh I love this video. Dai, Meryl, Charlie and Kristie are all wonderful! So much energy I got tired just
watching.

Can't wait. I wonder if a certain Dai fan (you know who I mean deedee) will be at the performance?

Thanks for sharing!

Of course. :biggrin:

Meryl and Kristie are :rock:! What's amazes me about Kristie the most is she hasn't changed a bit for the last 20+ years. Makes me feel jealous of her. :laugh:

Nice moment from documentary DT IN LA (120 minutes version) aired yesterday. Cheryl, James and Randi look at video of "Primavera Portena" at AOI 2015. They are amazed and awe-struck and have great words of praise for him. But as usual he is shy and humble.

Has anyone posted DTRTS's interview with Dai at Ice Legends?
https://www.facebook.com/DaisukeTakahashiRoadtoSochi/posts/827522600718640?pnref=story

Great interview. One thing that caught my attention was the part where he talks about his Lacrimosa EX. Shae-Lynn said the first part of the program is about uncertainty and confusion while the second part is about being free. She suggested it overlapped with his decision to go to America and try to find his new path, and then realizing that he has a place he belongs to, and that's at the ice shows in Japan.

Well for me, watching that program, it has a much deeper meaning than that. All Dai fans know the struggles he went through in his final competitive season. We've read at least parts of his brutally honest autobiography. The first part of the program - a murmur of voices and he's shifting his body towards different directions before he starts searching and chasing that light at the end of the tunnel; he literally crawls on his knees, he holds his head with his hands - that's him. That's his story before the Sochi Olympics. His story at the 2013 Nationals, his story after Nationals when everything was going wrong in practice and Utako-sensei was holding him while he screamed in frustration. The pressure to do well and please his country and his fans.

And then he stops; the voice is clearer now and he opens his arms as if he's attempting to let go of his suffering. And when he slides into the layback spin, that's where Lacrimosa actually begins. The music is grand, bigger than life, and he is free. Free to be himself, free to rediscover his love for skating and he feels lighter, as if the weight of the entire world is lifted off his shoulders. It's exactly like his FS in Sochi, where he let go of his worries and insecurities and skated with freedom, with a calm smile on his face.

Having that backstory in mind, this program allows us to actually feel what he went through and it's much more authentic than words can ever be.
