Post-Worlds news 2011

Hello Panther

Thank you for the articles :-) I prefer the pic in the first article, on the other pic Dai looks a bit different, not familiar to me, like somebody else but not him ...

Lovely chap, indeed :-) I am sure he could do anything, he is a natural talent :-)

Gudrun.

Thank you for sharing, guys

Daisuke looks great in those photos, he also looks enthusiastic to me.

Hi there

I don't know where to post this.

I'd love to go to Sapporo for the NKH-Trophy. But where would I get tickets from? Does anyone know? This is quite a spontaneous idea and it might already be too late for tickets ..

Thanks.

Gudrun.

Hi guys:

Long time, no see.

Here's the video that Dai is promoting beer.

Anyway, Japanese skating web site said that he will skate classic this year.
We have been seeing something funky for a long time, so this is going to be a nice change for sure.

I want him to skate beautiful classical long and fun short.
What do you think?

Genki, I agree with you, classical long and fun short so that there is some change for him and the audience :-) I am so much looking forward to seeing Dai doing something different this time!

Gudrun.

Gruden, I am happy that you agree with me.

BTW, below is my most favorite Dai's classic so far.
Slow part that starts around 2:13 still gives me goose bumps every time I see it.

Any particular music request for Dai for this season?

Hello Genki

Thank you for the link. I watched the video twice tonight and it is just sooo beautiful! How can anyone skate so gracefully? Just fantastic! I hope Dai can do something similar again :-)

Gudrun.

That's a tough one, Genki

I think as long as it's not an overused / done to death piece, I'm going to love it.

Mozart, Beethoven, Adam (Giselle), Tchaikovsky (Eugene Onegin), Verdi (La Traviata).

Glad to see you, Genki.
Sportsmen promoting beer?
That`s pretty strange.

Yeah to classic!
Thank you, Dai-chan.


I`d like to see skating light, elegant music for LP.
And some strong dramatic music for SP.
I still hope to see "In the Hall of the Mountain King"
It`s great choice.

My fav. composer is Bach.
So I will be happy to see his interpretation.
Is 'Toccata and Fugue in D minor' too risky to choose?

And let be fun in EX.

I`m sure all saw it, but it`s so funny.

I would LOVE to see Dai skate to Carmina Burana by Carl Orff! There are a lot of different movements to choose from and Dai would be great with the dramatic highs and lows of the music.

Hi guys:

Thank you for such an interesting suggestions of music.

I love Bach too.
What do you think of this one?

It's only 2:34, but it is beautiful.
I can see Dai skating a kind of modern and stylish choreograph to this.

Genki, thank you. Absolutely beautiful!

Twistersister, yes, I thought about Carmina Burana too.

Also

Dance of the Knights by Prokofief.
Vivaldi`s Winter & Spring.
Beethoven`s Für Elise.

Beethoven`s Ode to joy.

S. Rachmaninov - Vocalise
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GV01c-fQS9k

Something like this.
But of course, I will be glad to see interpretation of some fresh, not-used-so-offen music.

Hi there

Today I watched the two DVDs I have about Daisuke and I was once again so amazed what this guy can do. When you see the beginnings of a new programme, how hard it is to find the right music, the right movements, the right steps and later on you see the final "product" - wow! And as one choreographer said: Daisuke is so versatile, he can do so many different things ... incredible.

So, I am very much looking forward to his new programme, whatever it will be :-)

Gudrun.

Hello minnasan :-)

I searched the internet for some news and found this:

http://daisha-daily.livejournal.com/53640.html#cutid1

Daisuke and Mao and many other people appeared on 12 June (the day before yesterday) at a charity show. One comment below the little videos asked about Daisuke's highlights in his hair - they have gone :-)))

Enjoy!

Gudrun.

Thanks Gudrum.

I saw the video too.
For people who do not understand Japanese,

He said," I do not know how long I continue to skate, but I would like to get involved in Charity as long as I can, just not this year."

What a nice guy. He did a show for victims even before Worlds, saying." Worlds will come many times. I got to do something for Japan now."

Heart of gold.

Hello Genki

Thank you so much for telling us what he said. I only understand a tiny bit of Japanese.

He is a great guy, I think, very warm-hearted.

Cheers
Gudrun.

Your welcome.

All of Dai's fans are my friends.

Take care.

Hello Genki

That's nice, thank you :-)))

Gudrun.

Hi there

I was just looking for news again and found some interesting news :-)

If you look here http://merin-esora.livejournal.com/friends (sroll down) then you can read that in 2014 the Worlds will be held in Japan (I think not far away from Saitama). Isn't that great news??? Perhaps this will motivate Dai even more :-)

Good night :-)

Gudrun.

Saitama?

That's where I was born.
Yeah!!

Hi Genki

It said Tokyo or nearby Saitama. That would be nice, wouldn't it? :-)))))))))

Gudrun.

Hello guys.
Do you know where will be Worlds of season 2012-2013?

Hi Lil

Next year it will take place in Nice and in 2013 in London / Ontario.

Cheers
Gudrun.

Gudrun, do you mean in Canada?
