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.

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.

As said above, Dai is in Taipei for 2017 Junior Worlds.
Dai and Marin having fun. It's something related to the difference in height between Dai and his fellow co-worker
