Here is the complete tv report from which the clip on twitter is a part. Thanks to kind uploader!! Dai during LOTF reharsal, going shopping, showing pics of his lovely Moko from his mobile or his impressive collection of purses (I envy his being is so neat and organized). If I understand right, they ask him about Akiko. And then LOTF and backstage.

One more video of Shoma visiting Dai in the backstage. The talk between the two has different moments from the previous version aired.

From Shoma's fan page http://shoma-uno.tumblr.com/post/146878892202/shoma-attended-a-showing-of-love-on-the-floor

Thanks a lot for translation!!

Shoma says he wants to be praised for his artistry over his jumps. That’s why he learns from Daisuke. There’s so much he wants to take in when he watches Daisuke dancing and performing on solid ground. Daisuke asks Shoma what he thought of the show, and Shoma says it was really good. Daisuke laughs and tells Shoma he’s gotten good with the compliments. Daisuke says artistry and performing is something you can learn from a lot of different people. Seeing the show made Shoma want to dance, and overall, he had positive things to take from it.

GO DAISUKE!!!!!

Jmztuaileva, one of Dai's fellow dancers commented "It's been amazing sharing the stage with you, my friend. I have a feeling we'll be sharing it again real soon. Love ya bro."

I strongly hope that US fans have the chance to see him on the stage.

Dai is amazing whatever he does and he puts his soul and heart in performing on stage as he has always done on the ice. So I never doubted about his success as a dancer. I'm so glad he found motivations and new impulses in creating something new out of his usual comfort zone. I'm so proud of him!!!

GO DAISUKE!!!

 

[Pattina]

LOTF is over. It's just a new start in Dai's after-retirement life. Wish Dai that this happyness remains in his heart for ever.

Beaming, happy and joyful!! so lovely.... I'd like to thank all Japanese fans who shared their pics and memories of these incredible days!!!

All cast is incredible, they are so happy and proud. They deserve love and cheers from audience.

Dai is so great, noone can stop him or refrain him from dancing, dancing, dancing. Always dreamed to see Dai so lost in music, with rythm in his veins and heart. So glad Cheryl wanted him so badly in her show, giving Dai the chance to express new forms of art in front of audience. Dai's eyes are sparkling bright, with fire and proudness. Love to see him so!

Dai is and will always be a Genius on Ice, a master of blades but now he has reached a new and upper level of artistry.

The moment when Meryl hugs him tight from behind and they hold hands..... priceless

 

[Laura4]

I'm so happy that Dai is going to continue taking dance lessons. He should, he's such a natural at it.

I hope that comment from one of the dancers about how he has a feeling they will share the stage again, means they're bringing the show to the U.S. I so want to see the dances Meryl did with Dai and Charlie.

Lots of pics and tweets from fans who attended the show can be found here:

Well
Damn

Where have I been? Dai can just flat out dance

 

[Pattina]

The dancer and Kristi... there are strong hints that LOTF will be in US sooner or later. Maybe in between "Friends On Ice" (Meryl and Charlie will be there, too) and "Christmas On Ice".

Costume has white suspenders. After show Dai wears black suspenders on white shirt. Maybe he liked them so much in the costume that now are his new dress mania? From Kiki Nakanishi's IG after last show (Kiki is part of PIW cast)

LOTF: show update from Nobu #8. She said that before each act started, there would be a video shown on the backdrop with each skater and a voice over from them. They would say the words written on the board to set up the dances in each scene. Click on the pic to read the words. She said this outline is also in the playbill of the show.

Meryl’s part was the one posted in Papazhenya’s IG. Here: https://twitter.com/papazhenya/status/749107767760130049
https://twitter.com/papazhenya/status/749107767760130049
For Cheryl’s part, w/c is the last part, POWER, there was no video but she just performed in front of mirrors with Daisuke while the voiceover was going on. The last line, WE ARE POWER, I AM POWER, Daisuke also said in Japanese. “Very emotional scene it was” according to Nobu.

It seems that Cheryl has a well thought out concept of the show. No wonder it was a success and touched so many who saw it.
