Thanks for the links everyone! Stephane must be on his knees on the group picture.

"Suguri-san" is Fumie's younger sister, Chika.

Yep, they definitely need to switch to pairs.

I know Japan is weak in the pairs discipline but....

Or not wearing his skates, but even so the rest of the team would be as tall as him

Thank you for clarifying!

Looks like somebody was in the mood for some kabuki make-up in the middle of the night

I was reading a blog of someone who went to FaOI today and she wrote that the poses Dai and Yuzuru did as they appeared on stage for the P&G advertisement were Kenji Miyamoto's ideas.
So the version that was shown on TV last night was supposed to look like this apparently. Didn't quite work.

Oh, thank you for finding these. This is quite interesting. But who in their right mind does this in the middle of the night? They're such dorks

What was Kenji thinking when he came up with this? Dai's pose was similar to Miki's but there was no way Yuzuru could manage to do Kenji's pose. It was shocking as it was, I cannot imagine what would have been if they showed up exactly like Kenji wanted them to. I've read they changed the pose today and showed up back to back?

I've also read something about Dai having a talk show in Makuhari earlier today, but haven't found out much.

Well, remember when Dai said he wanted some, er, romance in his life? ... *runs for the hills*

I second this idea!

He needs a carnivore type for his herbivore self after all.

Yuzu counts as carnivore type?

 

[ioanna]

^ Well if Dai himself considers Yuzu the carnivore type, I guess he knows... things.

 

[Meoima]

Yuzu counts as carnivore type?

Dai said he himself is herbivore and Yuzuru, though looks like a cutie pie, is actually a carnivore.

 

[Sandpiper]

....

When did he say this?

 

[ioanna]

One of the Asahi events, when he was touring Japan opening summer bars. The link to the video should be on this thread somewhere.

Edit: Found the link but the video is not available anymore. I think mikaboo translated the carnivore-herbivore story in Yuzuru's thread. I hope I'm not mistaken.

 

[mikaboo]

Why did I look at his instagram in the middle of the night? And why did I look here to see what you guys are discussing? It's 3:30am and now I can't go to sleep...

 

[ioanna]

mikaboo I'm actually wondering what was Dai doing uploading that pic at around 3 AM...
