The One and Only Daisuke Takahashi - Because we miss him so much thread

[Laura4]

Thanks @Laura4

Are they thinking about LOTF 2???? It would be great!!

Your welcome, Pattina! My heart skipped a beat when I saw that reunion pic with Cheryl. I thought maybe they were planning a LOTF 2 show for the U.S. but it looks like Dai was in LA for Art On Ice rehearsals. It also looks like Cheryl is currently working on another project. Oh well, I'll keep hoping LOTF 2 becomes a reality in the near future, either here or in Japan...hopefully both!

Yes, Dai was in LA for AOI rehearsal... on ice only or on ice and on stage? We have to be patient for a short time... and we'll know!

LOTF was a great success in Japan. Dai proved to be a good dancer, with potential to grow better, and he received very good feedbacks from the professional dancers. Seems they all still have strong bonds. It's my hope, too, that they will repeat the experience.

While fandom was thinking of Dai back in Japan getting ready to leave for Switzerland.... he has remained in the US!! Yesterday he was spotted at a ice-rink in Arlington - VA

Dai was reporting on the "entertainment side": the parade. Here is the full video of his SPOTLIGHT. Many thanks to kind uploader!!

https://youtu.be/RDxw-cA8anQ

And this is the after-show talk in studio. http://www.ntv.co.jp/zero/movie/index2.html?embed=5299665564001

So proud of him!! Daisuke looks quite at his ease both in studio and filming the report, doing interview. Pity they cut off questions in English and kept only the Japanese version. I'd like to hear Dai talking in English.

It's almost time for Dai-chan to put blades on again AOI is quickly approaching. Premiere is next week (Feb. 02)

Soooo happy he is back in Europe Eager to watch what he prepared for this show!!

 

[Pattina]

Reharsal in Zurich on Jan. 30 - can you spot Dai?

[Pattina]

Lot of things....

Dai-chan performs two programs at AOI: 2014 "Caravan" and one - specially designed for AOI in collaboration with singer James Morrison "Person I Should Have Been" , referred to by fandom as "Homeless", as Dai's character is indeed a homeless.

Videos are not of good quality, as it was the live streaming of premiere on Swissinfo FB page, anyway thanks a lot to kind uploader

Pics of Homeless from yesterday's show - Dai looks so intense in this new choreo (by Sean Cheesman) mixing some dance moves to his usual great and mesmerizing skating

According to these pics of yesterday's evening, seems that they changed a bit the finale of Homeless in respect of premiere.

And this night (01 a.m.) Dai updated his IG!!!

Here we have translation of his comment. Poor Dai... https://www.facebook.com/DaisukeTakahashiRoadtoSochi/posts/965104386960460

Can't wait for Tuesday 07..... can't wait to see Dai again live and to be lost in Dai's magic power on the ice.

 

[Laura4]

Someone at the Art On Ice show uploaded this video footage of Dai, Meryl, and Charlie getting ready to take a group photo. Love seeing the three of them together again!

Today AOI moved to Davos - you can spot Dai with a mask on, so indeed he got a cold.

Japanese fans are reporting that Love On The Floor is coming back!

 

[kittyjake5]

Yes it is! I am so excited to see LOTF2. Besides Meryl and Charlie Kristie will also be part of the cast again!

Yay! I'm so glad Kristi is coming back too! Thanks for posting this info @kittyjake5. I hadn't seen anything about Kristi being a part of this one, so I was wondering. I'm also wondering about the rest of the cast of dancers, hoping they'll be back as well. Yesterday, I went to see La La Land and was surprised to see one of those dancers, Ryan Ramirez, in it. She had a close-up cameo in a scene with Ryan Gosling.

[Pattina]

Thanks @Laura4 !!! and thanks to kind translator. LOTF could arrive on stage because of sponsorships related to Dai's huge popolarity in Japan and audience was there mainly for him. And I bet the same will occurr for LOTF 2 - anyway he always has this humble and shy attitude.

One more interview about LOFT 2 with gorgeous pics!!

http://natalie.mu/stage/news/222579

Apologize for long time with no updates - many personal issues. I'll try to amend as soon as possible.

In the meantime.....

Dai visited the Kansai University Centre in Tokyo

https://www.facebook.com/DaisukeTakahashiRoadtoSochi/posts/983011848503047


K&C Dance Dance Dance magazine will feature Dai in upcoming issue (once again, I think they had it also in one of last numbers) - this is a video recorded during photo-shooting. Just breathtaking


https://youtu.be/BG88RvhxznE

 

[hertmirsh]

I greatly miss his artistry and passion. As wonderful as the jumping of Hanyu, Fernandez, Chan, Chen, and Uno is, there is nobody out there today who quite has the artistry, beauty, flair, and transcendant star quality as Taki!

 

[kittyjake5]

No need to apologize @Pattina! You are very generous with your time in keeping this thread updated with Dai goodies! How else would I keep up with my main man! Dai-chan is looking fabulous. The camera loves him!

 

[Pattina]

http://d1sk0218.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-2791.html

Back to Japan, Dai was live on NTV on Thursday 23 Feb. with his SPOTLIGHT. Recorded in New York in January, Dai introduces us to the amazing world of Broadway musical "The Phantom of The Opera". Actor/singer James Barbour, who plays the main role, welcomed Dai with intense and warm words . It's explained in video that Barbour's wife showed him Dai's programs and he was deeply impressed by Dai's skating!! Barbour posted on his social the pic with Dai and the SPOTLIGHT video and called Dai "a special person"

Sorry, but due to technical problem with my internet connection, I cannot reach DM directly for the link to be reported here.
Please, check the following post with SPOTLIGHT video embedded

Happy 31st Birthday to my Main Man!

 

[Pattina]

A bit late but I post also here my best wishes to Dai-chan for his 31st Birthday!!
Keep on shining like a diamond, on and off ice and be for ever blessed with love and happiness!!!

Celebration for his birthday started soon after 00:00 JT on 16th: during final talk of NEWS ZERO, that finished just after midnight, Dai received a birthday cake in shape of n. 31 from NTV staff.

http://www.ntv.co.jp/zero/movie/index2.html?embed=5361274250001

This time SPOTLIGHT was anticipated on Wednesday, because Dai had to leave for Taiwan, as FujiTV Navigator at Junior Worlds.

Dai updated his IG 5 hours ago with a collage-pic of his Birthday cakes: from NTV, from FujiTV and from Taiwan Skating Federation.

[Pattina]

A very kind blogger posted English translations of Dai's interviews with magazines Di-Ga, Kateigaho part 1 and Spice on LOTF 2017 AND Spice re HYOEN 2017. Scroll page to read them. Hyoen is very interesting, as Dai explains so many things he will do during this Kabuki/figure skating combination.

https://twitter.com/SachikoHR/status/842802441288523776

During tv show Meringue on NTV Dai guided fans in a short tour of his home: 2!!! cabinets for clothing, a very tiny space for lots of stockpiles and his bedroom (seems smaller than cabinets )

[Pattina]

@Laura4 - thanks so much for sharing. I think it's the very first US show for Daisuke as last year show in Hawaii was a Japanese production. Good opportunity for US fans!!

English version of the exclusive interview Dai granted to the Italian fs website Artonice during AOI 2017. Interview was done during Lausanne stop. Very interesting, for instance how he basically managed all by himself the choreo for "The Person That I Should Have Been" or the difficulties he faces working as tv commentator. As usual, Dai is very friendly and at hand, smiling and funny.

http://www.artonice.it/?q=it/node/23385

Dai was Navigator for FujiTV during last Worlds 2017 in Helsinki and, like at 4CC, his presence was recognized and appreciated by fs world: people working and simple fans. Just a few examples, but there are so many on social media.

Yesterday evening NTV aired a tv show named "Shimura Zoo" (recorded in March) - entertainment show focused on dogs and cats, with kawaii puppies and kitten. Dai was guest with his loving Mo-ko (or Mo-chan). A video recorded by Dai was shown: (face hidden and voice disguised, as people in studio had to guess who the guest was) : he introduces Mo-ko (a 8 yso small size pintcher) and as he plays with her, he reveals part of his home. Back in studio, Dai plays with kitten and puppies
