A very interesting special about "Hyoen 2019 - Like The Moonlight" with Daisuke Takahashi aired today on NTV.

Also featuring Stéphane Lambiel, Shizuka Arakawa, Yulia Lipnitskaya, Nobunari Oda and members of the acting cast.

The Piece Dai danced to (25:32-) is titled "Seigaiha (blue sea waves)", which Hikaru Genji and his best friend Tou-no-Chujo perform in the Tale of Genji. He just looks like he came out of the novel. :swoon:

Thank you so much for the information. I loved the dance and how he managed to transform into Hikaru all of a sudden. Such a treat to be able to watch it.

Less then 10 days from the opening of Hyoen 2019 now!

Every news aired a short report with some rehearsing footage with a battle with swords and a little bit of Dai and Julia Lipnitskaya (possibly the scene where Genji finds Lady Murakami?).
I guess it was a sort of preview for a longer special that will air on Nitteleplus on Sunday, July 21 at 13:30.

Such a masterpiece!!!!! sometimes I'm afraid it's going to be hard to top this with something as perfect and beautiful, It draws you in from the first image and note to the last, somo 2 hours and 40 minutes later. This must have been the biggest production on ice of all time: it had an original script, original music (except for some traditionals) original choreograph, it had famous music group DRUM TAO. Daisuke's floor dance (a must watch) was especially choreograpeh by Hip-Pop company Tokyo GeGeGay especially for him! Read the story from the choreographers.
The way Dai moves is amazing, he is so versatile. Please check it at at the beginning of Act 2!

I suggest that you first watch this HD version that @mikeko has posted and then, if you want, there is a LQ version of Hyeon2017 Basara with English Subtitles!

Enjoy!!!

Does anyone know if this particular performance will be at some point on TV, or on Video, or on internet in some form?

My pleasure.

I can't wait either!

I think this will remain at least for quite a long while the best ice-show.

Daisuke's talent is really endless: how does he do it all, and well?
To me he remains a mystery. He can dance, skate and now he can act and sing like a pro. How does he do that? Oh, and in the meantime he's also a competitive athlete....

He is immense!

Respect!!!

That's how all ice shows should be - either a theatrical production, or a review like "Holiday on Ice" or "Ice Capades".
