Thanks for the article. I know I will be rooting for Dai for Gold. I am excited to see his two programs again and
wish him the best.

He receives many offers from fashion magazines, but declines.

He wants to learn dances (tango, Spanish, ball room dance, jazz, Japanese).

跳ぶと決めたのは演技が始まってから。けがをする前は試合で成功していたので、前の自分に戻りたくて挑戦している。無謀な挑戦だったが、あれだけ４回転を入れなければいけないと言ってきたので…
"It was after starting the performance when I decided to do it. I used to land it at comps before the injury. I have been attempting it because I have wanted to go back to my old self. It was a reckless challenge. But I had kept talking so much that the quad is a must, so...."
He had a lot of media apperances before the Olympics because he was one of the Symbol Athletes for the Japanese Olympic Committee. He could not take back his word.... Interestingly, I heard that his coach was willing to put it, even though his success rate was nowhere near the level that can be used in a program, seen from the normal standard.

Why did he decline? Daisuke and fashion shoots would seem to be a perfect match.
