Can anyone tell me if the BS Nittere link will work in the US? Will it be a simple matter of just clicking on the link above, which mikeko666 has wonderfully provided, or might there be other options? I'm not very computer literate, so if it doesn't work - why then it doesn't, and I'll wait for it on YouTube. But I'm dying to see this amazing production, a new art form of stunning beauty and strength if advance clips and Hyoen 2017 are to go by. With Daisuke!!! Thank you for any help or advice!

Great news from today's FOI press conference! Dai intends to do a Challenger this season. :dance: He also plans to compete at Western Sectionals and Nationals:

Unfortunately it doesn't work that way. But I'm confident we'll get to watch it one way or another at a later point. :agree:

Didn't they release who does which Challenger for Team Japan already? I hope he comes to Germany, but my dreams rarely come true. :unsure: Since he's not doing the GP, maybe he'll do a later one like Golden Spin.

Isn’t Nebelhorn the only Challenger here in Germany? Their entry list might already be closed. I’m not sure. :scratch2:

Let’s hope together that he shows up at a CS in Europe. I’d be happy with any of them! :pray:

* She is or at least was one of his favourite artists. He once revealed that he attended one of her concerts together with Shizuka and that he listened to her song “Sweet Dreams” nonstop before he took the ice at the Olympics in Vancouver. So she was actually a lucky charm for him!

On the 30th of August Mao and Takahito had a talk event in Dai's hometown regarding the heavy rain disaster last year. Apart from reporting their experience while visiting the damaged area and discussing recovery efforts, they also shared their memories with Dai-chan over the years with the audience:

Daisuke sent a bouquet of flowers for Mao to Kurashiki Shiritsu Makibihigashi Junior High School where the event was held:

Ayaka posted a backstage clip of Nobu and other cast members singing along with my favourite ensemble song / call to battle in Hyoen. You can hear Dai's solo line (who is on stage in that scene) at the 0:12 mark:

Dai in Hyoen and in the Phoenix look like two different persons, but they are the same guy only one month apart!


After Nebelhorn, only three CS events are listed in JSF's schedule.

Asian Open - same weekend as Western Sectional, you have to fly to Hong Kong to get to Dongguan
Warsaw Cup
Golden Spin - same weekend as GPF, two weeks before Nationals

So he may participate in Warsaw Cup?

Yes please!


I know he said he'll do a Challenger, but in case scheduling doesn't work out with any of the comps you listed, he could get his TES minimums at another international B event too. :)

The Phoenix pose:

https://www.sanspo.com/sports/photos/20190902/fgr19090219230001-p1.html



Figure skating Vancouver Olympic bronze bronze medalist Daisuke Takahashi (33 = Kansai KFSC) appeared in an event sponsored by the sports maker “Puma” held in Tokyo on the 2nd.

After the Sochi Olympics, he retired once, but returned in July last year. Even at the age of 33, the ability is still alive, such as being ranked second in the All Japan Championship in December. Actually, after retiring for the first time, he became fond of skating for the first time.

“I started skating when I was 8 years old and had a good reputation, but I didn't know if I liked it.” However, after retirement, he noticed that skating gave him confidence, and he spends his days enthusiastically skating, saying, “I can do my best and I have only seen it now.”

Lastly, as a “legend” in the skating world, he told his juniors, “If you are lost, you can't move on. You can do it as you want. You can challenge until about 35 years old."

In the interview, he didn't deny the possibility of going to Worlds if he is chosen based on the results of Nationals.

Thank you! Seems he means business since he has stated this a few times now.



Meanwhile, someone very generous uploaded Hyoen 2019: Like the Moonlight in HQ.
Part 1: https://youtu.be/2aUEqz4j0_4
Part 2: https://youtu.be/kTphwJRr4HA


Yup, didn't want to post the direct links. Thank you to the kind uploader!

Highlights of Friend on Ice featuring Dai's new SP is going to be aired today. We will finally get to see the entire program of the Phoenix :yahoo:

Dai also said he will perform the Phoenix in Carnival on Ice on Oct. 5.
https://youtu.be/XqU1R2hv8fc?t=586
He said "Do I have to do an encore after the Phoenix? The program is so demanding, it's so hard to do an encore after that."

As always thanks for the tidbits, mikeko!


The Phoenix from today's FoI highlights broadcast (beware of the atrocious camera-work, which doesn't show Dai's feet for a large part of the program :roll5:):

https://youtube.com/watch?v=u7KGIEdLxIQ

The SP has some great touches and as it is so often the case with Dai the stsq seems to be the highlight (love the hitch-kick towards the end - it's like an homage to Cyberswan). :cool:

Can't wait to see him grow even more comfortable with the demanding choreo. Hopefully we'll get better camera-angles at CaoI.

Just Wow!
Does he really make it SP hitting 3 jumping passes and putting 3 spins altogether with these non-stop choreographies?! :drama:
Does he also wear that kind of sleeveless T-shirt at actual competitions?! :eek:: There's a rule that prohibits male skaters wearing costumes without sleeves or showing shank, I thought?
These choreographies would be too tempting a bit under competition lighting... :eek:::eek::

Wishing to see the program in competition!:love:
About the T-shirt, don't think would be a problem, the rule about clothing only says about long trousers:"At ISU Championships, the Olympic Winter Games and International Competitions, the clothing of the Competitors must be modest, dignified and appropriate for athletic competition – not garish or theatrical in design. Clothing may, however, reflect the character of the music chosen. The clothing must not give the effect of excessive nudity inappropriate for the discipline. Men must wear full length trousers. In addition, in Ice Dance, Ladies must wear a skirt. Accessories and props are not permitted." And if ladies can show the arms, why not men?:biggrin:

Knowing Dai he will probably have a different costume come time for competition. It would be a shame though to change this one. Those muscles in his arms are something to
behold. :love: I have seen photos of Dai in shorts working out (ahem nice legs), but I don't remember seeing a photo of him in a sleeveless shirt.

Nope, they threw that rule out few seasons ago... maybe circa 2016? Men have now the right to bare their arms at competitions, and we've seen skaters like Rippon and Cizeron taking advantage of the rule change.

I fully support Dai flaunting his naked arms! :agree:
