I apologize if this has already been posted. If it was I missed it.

Not sure when it was filmed but Dai is a guest on a show. It is about 30 minutes long and it is hilarious.
Dai is funny and he laughs throughout the video. Of course they have 2 restaurant scenes with
delicious looking food and lots of silly laughter.

The first version of "Experimentation" was already sizzling. What kind of sorcery have they come up with this time? It looks killer! :shocked:

Dai's Spotlight interviews are so interesting. Loved this one!

Thanks Pattina and synesthesia for all the updates!

synesthesia · Jun 9, 2017

^^^ Love how varied they are and Dai is getting better and better at interviewing! (Tho he probably still feels butterflies. Did he have those sweaty hands from the hot studio spotlights or from nerves?

)

Thank you so very much izayukam for translating Dai's words from the Hyoen programme!

Thank you, demarinis5!!

it's still worth watching twice or more and more times :love:

Always impressed by:

1 - the huge amount of food Dai enjoys any time in these meetings :laugh:

(and still being so thin) and huge size of mouthfuls he is able to handle;
2 - the huge amount of purses he keeps in his backpack :eeking: he starts taking out 6 purses one after another, but in the end 10 or more are on the table :shocked: :shocked:

Thanks synesthesia!! And huge thanks to Izayukam san for her translation. :thank:

Wow, Dai's words are mind-blowing. All the details about HYOEN2017 he tells us are very interesting, but what strikes me is his new idea/concept of pro-skater!!

Dai has always been a trailblazer for Japanese Men figure skating (first Junior World gold, first GPF medal, first Oly medal, first World gold, first GPF gold and many other records) and now he IS the "avant-garde" in bringing figure skating to higher level. He dances, he skates while acting and acts while skating.....

So proud of him and so glad he was offered the chance to prove to fs world his all-around art!!

That pic of Yoshitsune is mind-blowing :love:

Today first day of LOTF2017 reharsal in Japan. As IG stories usually are no longer available after some time, a dear fan collected and posted on IG two short IG stories with Dai-chan (if I understand right, the first is by Cheryl; the second for sure is by dancer djsmartjr)

^ I agree with your words 100% Pattina! That was a wonderful, insightful and intelligent explanation from Dai on how

he would like to see Pro Skating evolve. He is a trailblazer for sure! Thanks for posting Synesthesia!

Now for funny Dai! Here is the show A Studio. Thank you to kind uploader!

Is it just me or does there seem to have been a recent shift in his self-perception? If I'm not mistaken this is the first time he's referring to himself as a professional skater, fully embracing the concept. He sounds so inspired and ambitious! I can see this leading to even more greatness. He's capable of so much when he feels passionate about a project and it sounds like the Hyoen experience sparked his desire to bring his own vision to, even re-invent the pro skating scene in Japan. Oh, this "reborn" Daisuke is so exciting! :party2:

And he's being showered with even more praise! After kabuki actor Emiya Ichikawa and the choreographer of his eclectic kabuki/Hip Hop dance expressed their admiration for his outstanding talent, Somegoro-san is joining the Dai-love:

Agree!! It's just my opinion, of course, but I think he started to change a bit after Ice Legends: chatting with Mao in that famous video he was so enthusiastic about "Le Poeme" ensemble and expressed his desire to perform something different from usual, traditional Japanese ice shows. He was talking of "Romeo and Juliet" on ice.

And yes, after his coming back, day after day, challenge after challenge now he is (or at least looks) more self-confident when he talks about his achievements out of his comfort zone. For sure HYOEN2017 ignited his mind and now... this Dai-rocket is going to left Earth to reach the stars!!!

And he's being showered with even more praise! After kabuki actor Emiya Ichikawa and the choreographer of his eclectic kabuki/Hip Hop dance expressed their admiration for his outstanding talent, Somegoro-san is joining the Dai-love:

I just jumped in here to post same link! :laugh:

No escape: any one who has the chance to work with Dai, immediately starts to love him.

I use to follow this Chinese fan blog http://d1sk0218.blog.fc2.com/

The blogger translate into Chinese Dai's quotes from inteviews, on paper and on tv. It's difficult, but with on-line translators it's possible to have an idea of what he said. Always keeping in mind that's automatic translation, of course!! With regards to the recent radio talk-show, according to blogger's translation, prior to the interview, the commentator said that he talked with TV colleagues working with Dai and they all praised a lot not only his commitment to job but most of all his nice and friendly attitude.

An article (in Japanese) about Kristi Yamaguchi's "Golden Moment" charity show, taking place in September, accompanied by a nice picture of Dai and Kristi:

https://alohasmile-hawaii.com/sightseeing/7596/

Thanks!!!! I saw the pic on twitter and I was wondering where it came from. I understood (from Dai's hair-cut

) that it was back in 2016 during Stars Greetings in Hawaii. Nice pic, indeed!!!

5 days to LOTF2017!! :yahoo:

But she's completely on point with her assessment of his dancing abilities and it's so great to hear again what a sweet person he is!

deedee1 · Jun 12, 2017

Sorry I haven't had enough time to visit and read all posts here lately :slink:

Hi deedee1!!! Nice to see you again!! Yes, LOTF will tour in USA with shows in 30 cities. Unfortunately Dai is not part of the cast. Neither Kristi. Dai probably because of his commitments in Japan, with tv and maybe with his show (although nothing has been announced up to now). But I bet it will be a great success and hope you can have the chance to watch!!

@Synesthesia, thanks for links to video of press conference. Dai is so cute, blushing :eek:

: while Cheryl praises him, not only for his improvement in dancing, but above all for being such a wonderful person (we know, Cheryl...we know....)

Huge amount of Dai-stuff on the web. I post just the main facts/links.

Amazing pics of HYOEN2017 from Vogue Japan. They were supervisors for all the costumes, hairstyle and make up. They did a great job!! The b/w pic of Dai getting ready to become Yoshitsune is beyond immagination.... too handsome to be true!

oh my.... :shocked: :shocked: nothing serious, I strongly wish... but Dai's face looks calm and not nervous or suffering.... anyway his knee in such conditions reminded me of terrible times...

https://www.instagram.com/p/BVXAqV8AAYj/?taken-by=riko_momo&hl=it

to be honest, I don't quite understand what he is saying... "This.... I can't.... feet" (maybe???)

So less than 24 hours to the premiere :yahoo:

- and in Japan even less as it's already Friday 16th!!!

To Dai, Cheryl, Meryl, Charlie and Kristi and all the cast.... break a leg!!!! Wish you all a fantastic success!!

demarinis5 · Jun 15, 2017

Thanks Pattina for the wealth of Dai stuff! I also wish Dai and the rest of the cast Good Luck! I just know the LOTF2 will be amazing! :love:

to be honest, I don't quite understand what he is saying... "This.... I can't.... feet" (maybe???)

It's diffidult to make out what he's saying. Could also be "thick", "fake" or "fate". I wanted to understand "fake" so badly and that's what I indeed heard at first, but after a few listens I think he said "thick".

I'm so worried. Why does that have to happen again now? We know Dai will grit his teeth and get through it, but this sucks majorly... Let's hope it's not that bad and that he's not in pain. :sad21: (First Cheryl had her head-butting accident, which sidelined her for a few days and now this. :curse

Hopefully sending positive vibes helps: Wishing the whole cast a smooth premiere without further mishaps/injuries! Go Dai-chan!!! :clap:

Have some crazy dancing bananas

GANBATTE DAI-CHAN!!!! :yes2:

demarinis5 · Jun 16, 2017

Dai seems to be in fine form, thank goodness I was worried about his knee. I was remembering too Pattina about Dai-chan's tough times leading up to Sochi
and the roller coaster ride us fans went through.

ETA: Smoking photo of Dai :love:

and Michelle Dawley, love her comment!

synesthesia · Jun 16, 2017

Thank you two for the glimpses from dress rehearsal and Michelle's lovely insta picture! It seems the returners from last year's cast are happy to be reunited. It's a shame not all of them are gathered again this time.

Dai is so intense during "Glory", I'm teary-eyed now. :sad21: :luv17:

Guess we all did.

He's had his share of rotten luck, he doesn't need more of it. Hope his knee survives the whole run of 13 shows.

ETA: Just realized Michelle's picture is from one of the aftershow-parties at Art on Ice (presumably Davos). Don't think she posted that one before. I approve! :agree: And am slightly jealous.

Some more "Glory", including the beginning:
