Daisuke was great for the past times (like in 2010) but I think that his time have past, he should think of retirement after this season.
I hope that he will stop skating after this season because he is not able to land those quads consistency, please don't do a male version of Fumie Suguri ...

I love the program...His technical elements are weak. He lost some points on spins.

Dai really needs to get his jumps back. He will never ever going to land his quad cleanly so, he has to land his remaining 8 triples clean to have any chances of getting on to podium or even at his national. His PCS cushion will only go so far.

Not only is it not big enough but also the melody gets a bit lost and it's hard to tell *which* Beatles song each section is based on! My extremely musical and Beatles mad son even had trouble figuring them out.

He's mentioned again and again since 2011 that he would retire after the Olympics.
Yeah me too. He's in flames.

Machida? His coach is Anthony Liu and I think he is with Arutunian from time to time as well.
Love Dai but for me this is not an Olympic program. However it may be best for him not the focus on the quad like Brown right now and skate a clean 8 triple program. That may at least keep him ahead of the Max Aaron type skaters.
IMO Artur has always had empty programs. He looks bored skating them and they don't make sense to me.

That's funny you say that because I found myself at times not paying attention to the program and trying to figure out the song, hardest was Come Together in footwork sequence.

That's not gonna happen. If he did Vancouver with a quad when he clearly didn't have it and when it was not necessary, he's not gonna go quad-less now.
