Finally watched Dai's LP. Not his best performance (technically) but I thought he skated
beautifully to every note of that music. I don't have a problem with the music cuts at all
and thought that Dai transitions throughout the cuts were spot on.

I like this program much better than last season's program which for me never seemed to fit Dai.

I can't watch it due to music copy rights,

On my computer every YouTube video starts with the volume muted, and I have to manually turn the volume back up. Is the same thing happening to you? I've had this problem for the last few days, I think.

Yes I had the same problem but it seems to be working alright now.

Thanks a lot, demarinis, your comment has helped me to go and watch the recorded one again at home, and to get more focused on its structure of the program.
Here is my impression after watching it more closely on big TV screen a couple of times: http://www.goldenskate.com/forum/showthread.php?41158-Japan-Open-2013-2014/page14

15 yo Daisuke at his very first senior Nats: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xZoF0LPFbw

Look at the 'empty' arena back in the day!
Love his speed throughout! His natural ability to interpret the music was already there at such young age. :yes:
A bit bitter-sweet performance for young Dai here, but 2months later he won the World Junior title.

Dai, good luck to you at Skate America! :yay:
