^^^Talk about a wild ride! I was getting nervous just watching!

Me too. Every time I fly commercial I pray. No way could I do that! I could be enticed if I had uniformed Dai sitting next to me.

 

[Pattina]

Dai was today at Chitose Air Festival (in Hokkaido) where Blue Impulse did their aerial show.

No more uniform, but usual SPOTLIGHT dark suit/white shirt dress. Again, as handsome as ever

Thanks to the many people who spotted him and tweeted, we have fair amount of pics!!! :agree:

(some fans with eagle's eyes already tweeted info about Dai's wallet, if you like it and wish to buy the same )

NOT SURE due to automatic translation, but from some tweets seems that Dai was sitting again on plane n. 5 during Blue Impulse's aerial show, but we need confirmation.

Have a great SunDai

Dai was in the No.5 aircraft on July 20.

https://youtu.be/uxdo9aiNRdI

That looks really scary :eeking:

 

[Pattina]

Dai as "prima ballerina" in this CM for a movie to be released soon in Japan. If I get it right, there is a contest, too, and his friend Kumakawa san is part of panel of judges.

I like the way they shot the ad: in a corner of a normal room, Dai is so easy and natural in black t-shirt, jeans and sandals, his moves are nice but not perfect at all
Seems like he is just having fun in front of friend's camera, and his "yes!!" like the winner of the contest

Thank you for the updates Pattina and mikeko!


Dai seemed to enjoy himself at the Chitose air festival. I'm looking forward to the new Spotlight episode!


The CM for the "Ballerina" movie inspired competition is incredibly cute! I guess he's trying his hand at choreography from the movie there? Maybe copying the moves from a screen (a little bit like the "Dance Evolution" game he had to complete for "Athletes vs Celebrities)? It seems like he's doing it not too neatly on purpose as not to discourage potential contestants, hehe.



Finally! A glimpse of "The Ice" cast members learning group choreo! And Daisuke being suitably uncly as always. He's got the ending pose down though.

CM for the extended broadcast of "Love on the Floor" on August 5th:

Judging by the way everyone is happily tucking in (with the exception of Adelina ), it seems that the cantine food is very enjoyable! (Looks like tako-yaki. Yum... )

Apparently Mao skated a medley in the first half of "The Ice" and was joined by several skaters. Dai joined her for Rach 2 (wearing his old costume and no illusion mesh as far as I can see! Or are my eyes deceiving me? :shocked

And it seems like Mao did the first talk-show with Dai! :yay:


ETA: No new program for Dai. He did Caravan, but looked more confident and was much flirtier than at AOI, so that's at least something!

Thanks a lot indeed for all the updates while I was away from the forum, everyone.

Dai appears from 12:40. I love his delayed Lutz! But I do love hell a lot more from the part 14:30 where Mao and Dai skate to Ritual Dance together. :luv17: Can they do the full version of this fabulous RD someday, please?! I wanna see it!

Uncle Dai was looking good, but at first I almost thought he had on the sacred purple (velvet) pants! What an awesome tribute to Mao's wonderful programs.

 

[Pattina]

Thanks a lot to all of you for links and info!!! Loved Rach exbition (without illusion mesh :agree: ) old costume but "new" - i.e. more mature - interpretation.

Duet with Mao is so lovely and sweet. Dai is perfect gentleman when a lady needs help!!

At AOI Dai felt the different audience, but now, at home in Osaka he skated Caravan once again with the spicy, hot, alluring mood Kenji created for him, shaking hips and booty, posing and smirking, throwing smiles and kiss at audience (Lucky lady!!) as the Great Entertainer he is!!


After today's show - thanks to Mai san. As far as I understand, today's chat was among Mao, Dai and Shoma

deedee, it's so great to read you again! You were missed! And for the video-link!

Uncle Dai was looking good, but at first I almost thought he had on the sacred purple (velvet) pants!

Lol, nope, not those sacred pants, but Dai's own sacred onesie from way back and yes, it's purple and velvet and VERY revealing in all the right places + no illusion mesh (which makes me overlook the strange grandma curtains on his upper body)! No complaints on my part! What did we do to deserve this splendour?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTiPiMqddPA
Dai appears from 12:40. I love his delayed Lutz!

I was so nervous that his jumps might not be there at the moment, because of his recent knee problems, but they were so airy & beautiful! (Nevermind that slight slip on the 3Lz in Caravan.) :luv17: Maybe the new boots helped since he has just returned to Edea?

What an awesome tribute to Mao's wonderful programs.

But I do love hell a lot more from the part 14:30 where Mao and Dai skate to Ritual Dance together. Can they do the full version of this fabulous RD someday, please?! I wanna see it!

The medley was just exquisite from start to finish! Everyone was great in all of the different sections and then it all culminated in Dai's gorgeous Rach 2, which inspired Mao's own program to the same music, him and Mao encircling each other and the final "explosion" with Mao's fiery Ritual Dance! The few moments of Mao & Dai on the ice together confirmed the great chemistry these two have. I really hope they'll get to form that touring company, which Dai was dreaming about. It would be such a match made in heaven!

And of course I concur with you deedee - would LOVE to see Mao & Dai perform RD as part of an ice ballet based on "El Amor Brujo" with their future company! (Oh dear, I'm getting ahead of myself again, but it's such an intriguing idea! )

[demarinis5]

The tribute medley was fabulous! Loved it all, the selections were skated so passionately by all of the skaters
a real tribute to the love and respect they have for Mao. Akiko was exquisite as was Pang and Tong! It was so good to see Taka back on the ice too!
First rate performances from everyone including the star the beautiful Mao!

When I saw Dai come out in his Rach costume I almost fell of my chair. :luv17:
Dai is like fine wine he only gets better with time.

Thanks everyone for the videos, tweets, photos and links!! I think I am caught up for now.

Hello deedee nice to read you again!

 

[deedee1]

^^ Thanks!!!

Yes yes and that was the Dai whom I instantly fell in love with at SkAm in 2005! :luv17:

 

[synesthesia]

Were you there in person, deedee? Or was that the first time you saw him on TV?





Dai continues to be in a good mood - he updated his ig today, hooray! arty: Cool cat, Dai-chan, copying the bill-board behind him (this looks so circa early 90's retro). :cool14:

https://www.instagram.com/p/BXPlVksD3EB/


A resourceful fan noticed that Dai has a history of imitating the "J Soul Brothers" (which is the band depicted in that advertisement as I just found out! Pardon my ignorance. ) and created this little gem :rofl2:

https://twitter.com/flapperbear414/status/892355531255406593




Kana shared a wonderful group photo of the oldschool TJ gang at "The Ice" (click arrow to the right twice).

Two questions:

1. Is Takahito pushing a buggy?
2. Why are there hooks that look like handcuffs on the handle?




The Kansai University posted some sort of image-video including the celebration of the Education Association's 70th anniversary. Dai's speech is included around the 35 minute mark. (click "FLV方式で再生" under the 2017 bullet-point to get to the video)




And then there's this splendidly adorkable video of Dai's complete "entry" to the "Ballerina" movie contest. He was copying the moves from a screen! In any other instance I'd react with a "RAWRR" to his booty shaking, but here it's just so freakin' cute. :luv17:

That costume reminded me that the purple velvet volleyball is alive and well. Reminds me of another skater we know and love.

 

[Pattina]

Thank you all for comments and memories about Dai's Rach. I didn't follow fs that much at the time but even if I watched videos years later, I was immediately captured :luv17:

HB, thanks for all updates!!! Dai is "killing cuteness" doing his ballerina exercises and his usual dorky side in mickmocking "J Soul Brothers"



Large pics!!! Dai in all his majestic Rach beauty and intermission with Mao (and a gorgeous purple velvet "back")
