I'm still worried though and I was hoping he would give up on jumping because it makes his knee swell. However as the first fancam of his program showed up, he's jumping again. Stubborn :disapp:
He managed to land a 3F and a 3Lz cleanly and effortlessly, despite the circumstances.

And he still has two more shows to do with Denis... I hope he won't push himself too much. thank you, as always, for the updates!!
 
I'm glad he didn't skate on Eye though, as originally rumored. Too demanding for his body right now.
Could not help noticing he changed his outfit for Kissing You though :laugh:
My pleasure, jimeonji :)

As much as I love Eye, I'm glad he didn't do it either. I thought he would after doing it as encore at the Rinkai show. and yes!! all black now. Hoping for some full fancams soon. I'll try to help out when I can~

Finally! Thank you jimeonji!
He did that 3F right in front of the camera, and with a short/difficult entrance nonetheless. One would wonder how does he manage with a swollen knee but I guess he's well accustomed to this. I think he wore this outfit at the 2013 Nationals when skating to The Crisis. I guess he didn't like the white shirt and undone bow? :laugh:

Also found this video in lower quality but the focus stays closer to him.
And another video of the step battle with more focus on him

More high quality pictures

Thanks Pamina, ionap, and jimeonji for the video links!

That documentary on Daisuke was very informative. Kudos to the translator izuyukamT. And I was right about Daisuke's eyes showing he is a kind soul going by what his longtime coach Utako Nagamitsu said. :)

Daisuke skating to "Kissing You" makes him and the music fresh again in my eyes. Love how he hugged the girl skater collecting the fan tribute for him. And the step sequence battle between the two DTs and Olympic bronze medalists was just a superb spectacle.
