Last 2 days (3 shows 'cause today's first show has already ended) for LOTF2017

Ganbatte, Dai-chan!!! Give it all with fellow dancers to fill audience with joy and wonderful feelings!!

 

[Pattina]

LOFT2017 has ended and once again Daisuke has proven his great talent.

It's so amazing if we think that - as he himself admitted - after LOTF2016 Dai didn't attend dance classes or practice dance (a part dancing uring his leasure time, as he did at AOI parties ). And between first and second reharsal time in LA he practiced hard for HYOEN2017. Astonishing how he could switch immediately from ice to floor and from one kind of art to another.

Again, we are blessed with dear fans' pics. Domo arigato to all who shared!!!

I used Google translator.... the article is quite good. Journalist praises the show, the cast and above all Dai-chan, who has improved a lot in body moves and in his general attitude on stage. In the end, Dai says that he was exausted and he got a cold soon after the last show and had to stay locked at home for some days (that's why he disappeared )

Next scheduled task: THE ICE at the end of July. Last time Dai skated in Japan in an ice show was back in December 2016 with his XOI. Looooooooong time. He has been very very busy since then and I wonder if he is going to present a new exhibition program. But what I really would like to see is a group number of Brot3 and Sis3: Dai, Taka, Nobu, Akko, Mao and Kana. It's such an opportunity for Japanese fs lovers to have all 6 loved stars in same show. And a group number all together... it would be breathtaking

Thank you for the updates on all things Dai, Pattina!

Wish we could've gotten more videos from the LOTF show like we did the first time around. I'm especially interested in seeing the dance between Dai and Meryl that Dai said would be steamier than the first time.

https://cantilovertranslations.tumb...and-daisukes-talkshow-on-the-first-day-of-the

Mao and Daisuke’s talkshow on the first day of The Ice with Mai:

Mao: All of the skaters that I am really close to are here, there’s nothing that makes me happier than this.

Daisuke: It feels like a class reunion. Is it okay that we’re having this much fun? (laughs)

Mao: It’s honestly been so long since I’ve seen everyone, so it’s been so fun like during practices and on the rink.

Daisuke: But we get so into our conversations that we don’t listen to instructions and we’ve gotten scolded for that (laughs)

Mai: Both of you have started stepping forward on your new paths after retiring from competitive skating, but how do you feel looking at each other’s situations?

Mao: I’ve only retired this year, so everyone else retired a bit before me, but I feel so inspired seeing Dai-chan as a reporter and performing in dance shows and such, and also seeing Mai working hard on stage. For me, I think the new beginning officially starts after The Ice 2017, and I hope we’ll continue to work hard together.

Daisuke: I myself am still trying out a lot of different things, and I’m still in a roaming position. Like, ‘What should I do~~’. I would like to continue experiencing different things. Well, I’m more interested to see what Mao does from now on than what I will do.

Mai: You two have known each other for more than 15 years, including going to the Olympics together, and going to a training camp in Canada together when you were both in elementary school.

Mao: During that training camp in Canada, we were always together for more than a month. That program Dai-chan just skated, Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto no.2, I think I was 14 when I saw that program and thought it was so nice and pretty. This Rach piece was the piece that I had always wanted to skate to. If we were in the same segment we would’ve been rivals so if I were a guy I would’ve never used this piece, but I thought maybe I will use this because I’m a girl. I remember Dai-chan’s performance of it so clearly since I was 14, that’s how good of a program it was, so I’m so content that I got to see it again today.

Daisuke: I didn’t think I would skate it again either. (laughs) I’m happy that I got an opportunity like this.

Mai: You two have known each other for a very long time. What is your best memory of each other?

Mao: When I was in 5th grade and when Dai-chan was 16 I think. Around that time, didn’t we perform at Candelero’s ice show, just us two? We also performed in an ice show in Kazakistan together. It was really just us two, so we were always together, and we just ate horse meat everyday. (laughs)

Daisuke: Because Kazakistan’s local dish was horse meat. We kept eating it while saying like, “it’s getting a bit too much isn’t it”. (laughs)

Mao: We ate like a whole life time’s supply of horse meat.

Mai: I think there were fans who cried even more seeing Dai-chan cry after watching Mao’s Sochi performance. (laughs)

Daisuke: Since then, I’ve become so prone to tears. Until then, I never cried that much, but she made me cry two days in a row in Sochi.

Mao: I think that was the first time I saw Dai-chan’s tears as well! I think there are a lot of other people who thought that?

Dai: I’ve cried quite a few times since then, because that was when I burst out crying.

Mai: Now, Please say a message to each other. First, from Mao to Dai-chan.

Mao: Since our ages are bit apart, we weren’t together during our novice years, but since our junior years, we’ve gone to shows and training camps together, and we’ve competed in the same competitions a lot when we became seniors. A lot of the times, the mens segment was first, so there were many times when I skated after seeing Dai-chan’s results, and if he won or something, I would think, “Aaa, us ladies must do our best as well!” and I would always work hard because of that. Therefore, there was a part of me that was a bit down after Dai-chan’s retirement, but now, since we are both moving into our new pathways, please continue taking care of me! Wait, that sounds a little weird. (laughs) More like, let’s both work hard individually!

Daisuke: Mao wrapped it up so beautifully. (laughs) Since there was the presence of “Mao Asada”, I was able to work hard during my skating career. Now that Mao has retired and is moving forward as a pro skater, I want her to open pathways that only she is able to open. To open opportunities and pathways for the younger generation of skaters when they retire and become professional skaters, would you… do something like that for us even though it’s so far in the future? (laughs) In the end, Mao Asada is a skater who cannot be copied by anyone else, and I don’t want to lose against her either as a rival, so please, let’s continue to work hard together. This is kind of

embarrassing. (laughs)

Mao: I didn’t think we would be asked to say a message for each other.

Mai: It’s not in the script, I just wanted to hear it myself. (laughs) We’re starting the second half of the show now. Mao, what is your feeling now that this show has begun?

Mao: I’m so nervous since this is the first day. My legs are shaking. Since it’s been a long time since the last show, so I think the audience is nervous and excited, but I’m also nervous and excited.

Finale "Mary Poppins" - of course cameras are focused on Mao, anyway you get glimpses of Dai-chan now and then. The moment at 04:01, while Nobu is crying and Dai passes laughing behind him is priceless!! Thanks to kind uploader!!

Loose yourself in the amazing, awesome world of HYOEN 2017!! Dai is superb, acting with no words but just his skating, body and face. All skaters fit perfectly in their roles and express their skating talents with new and emotional performaces. The whole show is something beyond description: rich costumes, great special effects (anyway not excessive) and powerful performances.

The story is easy to follow - anyway I repost here again the link to Absolute Skating's article, with a brief recap.
