Daisuke Takahashi

Wow that was just tender, beautiful, smooth, and gone by in a flash! I love it! The maturity he displayed was incomparable I think. Four years, when you really think about it, is a long time. I'm amazed!

It says a crowd of 1500 showed up :eeking: :eeking: :eeking: :eeking:! Those of you trying for tickets to nationals and/or worlds (when adding in the Shoma and Yuzu factors), ganbatte cuz you're gonna need it. I feel like anyone able to get tickets deserves their own medal .

The lottery for the worlds will be out on the 10th, now I am nervous if I can be that lucky.
Figure Skating is so alive in Japan right now. Thanks for coming back Daisuke.

3F-3T doesn't look UR to me even though it didn't have a running edge. The tech panel must be very strict.

I agree, it seems pretty clear, at least to me, that the second jump is less than 90 degs short on landing in that slow-mo.

It is reported on twitter that R. Benoit is among the audiences with Kaori Sakamoto to watch the competition (Benoit just finished his choreography works in China and is now in Japan).

I just saw that Keiji Tanaka has also joined Kaori to cheer Dai (Kazuki will be cheering from the back)

The 6 min warmup camera is like Dai’s fancam

Third place (Kazuki Tomono in first,Shu Nakamura second)

Although his artistry is superb, He struggled with his jumps, and looked really exhausted in the second half.

I've watched the LP a few times now, and at this point, I'm liking it a lot more than his SP. Costume is good, and I can see the shape of the program and how it fits with the music. The intense parts show off Daisuke's dramatic flair at it's best I think.
Despite the mistakes, I think it's going to be really amazing come Nationals!
