Sankei published an interview with Dai: http://sankei.jp.msn.com/sports/news...6520000-n1.htm
And this blogger was super fast with the translation!

What a nice, candid interview! Thanks for posting. (Sorry I was rude to you last week on the other thread.)

Nice interview. Dai has a good soul, I am proud to be a uber!

Thanks let's talk for keeping me updated on my favorite skater!

I think he insists on quad jumps a little. They are more necessary now than they used to be and certainly not necessary in 2009-2010.

thanks for posting this! I do hope Dai has his boots the way he likes them now and has had time to practice! With the depth of the Japanese men, I actually feel so nervous for him - he really needs to get to the GPFs, I think, to send a message 'back home' and then there's nationals....oh gosh. Anyway, wishing him all the very best!

Thanks so much!

I am also happy to be an uber, now and always. I have a spot on my Forever List open and waiting for Daisuke, alongside Kurt, John Curry, Toller Cranston, Lambiel, Yagudin, and Ilia Kulik.
