In the meantime, here is an update on ongoing fundraising campaign to save Rinkai Sports Centre Ice Rink in Osaka:
http://rinkai.rocket3.net/index.html

Wow, 143 million yen!
Someone who is SAINT and VERY RICH must have donated a big money. :hb: Don't know his/her/thier name(s), but THANK YOU! :bow:
It's been reported they need to collect 150 milion yen by the end of December. Only 7 million yen to go. Almost almost! :yes:
:) It's done. They collected all the money and now the rink is saved. Dai left a message on his blog where he expressed his gratitude to all people who contributed in this matter and he promised to work hard to pay them back with his skating. :thumbsup: www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7bh76ogg0Q
Here is a video from Novogorsk where Dai was training with Morozov: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkhNlxupBOU

Dai is keeping to be highly demanded by J-media. In the interview to the recent Figure Skating 2012-2013 Guidebook Asahi taken before JO (pics, dude looks cool!: http://twitpic.com/e/2jir ) he again said about his plan to win GPF in Sochi. It's the medal that he still doesn't have. He also wants to "taste" the future Olympic ice. The results of Chan last season was one of the factor that made him include two quads in FS. He wants to win and currently is planning his route step-by-step to the OGM. In the short interveiw to TV LIFE taken after JO (pic: http://twitpic.com/b78hz2 ) he also added that JO showed that two quads in FS is a mandatory requirement since the level of the current Men's skating is very high. He wants in his new progs to show the new world of him: in Rockabilly it's fun and "Pagliacci" in his FS is an opera music of a big scale, so should be his skating he said. Dai is so serious.. :)

I really like Takahashi’s exhibition program. Who choreographed this? The choreography is much better than that of his SP.

^Thanks for that. Dai did not look injured or sick so probably it was his new boots.

Wanted to post it here because the pics from Dai's practice in CoC is simply gorgeous! http://ameblo.jp/b-acchus/entry-11394209941.html

OMG those photos are something else! :love: Not only does Dai's skating improve every season his looks do too.
Thank you so much for sharing.

I so agree with you, demarinis! :love:

I am almost recovering from my jetlag and so-called a 'shocker'; rather unexpected results of the first three GP series, thanks to these photos. As always, thank you a lot, let's talk! :yes:

As for Daisuke, that's why I just can not stop being his fan over the years. He is good at surprising everyone both in a good way and bad way. It's called 'Dai's rollercoaster' among his long-time devoted fans in Japan. :biggrin:

To be more seriously, if Daisuke needs to have some bad performances somewhere, better be it here, not later in the season. I am just glad he did not get injured in this comp. :yes:

You are right about being a Daisuke fan deedee, it is never boring with him. I missed seeing your posts here at GS.

You must have known the answer by now... a bit too late to answer to your question if so, but Kenji Miyamoto did.
I am sure his fans would agree with you lakeside; better than his 2010-11 season's LP or like it better than that LP, they say. :yes:

Other masterpieces by Keiji for Dai...just in case you may not know yet ;):
