Ioanap: In my own perfect world he did exceed the 91 and brought home the Gold in my heart!
I wish that for him, too. Not to mention he is a 3 time Olympian along with all of his "firsts" for Japan's Men's Figure Skating. I hope one day he is able to see what the rest of us clearly see. Thanks so much for all of your knowledge. I look forward to all of your snippets of information.

Thank ionap you sharing with us TJ fanart. I love seeing how the TJ members are seen through the eye of this ^ and other talented fan artists.
Re Daisuke, I echo your and cdngirl's wish for him to be at peace with himself. This past season must have been so draining on him what with his injury, the pressure of making it to the Olympics, and wanting so much to have a good result to justify his selection for Sochi. Right now in his sabbatical, I want him to rediscover the joy in skating and to see it again as a source of pleasure and fulfillment rather than of pain and disappointment.

Wow, congratulations to them! I guess now that V/T and possibly D/W are retiring she has the time for a new team. They can definitely benefit from her as a coach although she does seem to have trouble choreographing for sibling pairs :sarcasm: Maybe with the Zueva's help and recent retirements they can move into the top 10 in a few years

Found this beautiful fanvideo of Dai and Mao's Crisis & Jupiter EX programs. It looks like they're mirroring each other, as they have been doing in their competitive careers many times

That was indeed beautiful!
Thanks for sharing. Both Daisuke and Mao will be certainly missed this coming season.

New TV Show with Nobunari Oda + new interviews with Daisuke Takahashi and Akiko Suzuki
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Nobu starts crying as soon as the hosts mention Dai's name
You can tell how precious their friendship is.
The television has also filmed a few scenes inspired from Nobu & Team Japan (Dai, Mao, Mai, Taka, Tatsuki, Akiko and Kanako)'s lives and there are actors playing them Hopefully someone can translate at least the main ideas.

Thanks so much! I'm at work now, but I can't wait to watch it this evening. Two of my favorite skaters ever.

Thank you for the videos. That was a hoot.
To summarize, it is basically a tongue-in-cheek recap of Nobu's career alternating with the history of Nobu's famous samurai ancestor, Nobunaga Oda. The funniest parts were when Nobu forgot his costume and his mother ran out to a supermarket and bought a pair of pajamas for him to perform in and when he competed with his fly open.
Dai says that without Nobu, he would not be where he is today. Dai was singing karaoke, but Nobu was singing louder than he was. Akiko says they encouraged and consoled each other. At the restaurant, Nobu was being a goofball, comparing the texture of the sushi to ice cream and gum. The younger Kanako couldn't take it any more and told him to shut up. Thereafter, Nobu was quietly dejected.
And of course, lots of crying.

Thank you for translating! Poor Nobu, he was crying in the old videos, crying played by an actor and crying in the studio
You're welcome. I forgot to mention that Nobu says he had a low threshold for crying as a child and the threshold didn't rise when he became an adult.

Japan team is full of cry-babies! Yuzuru also admit he is easy to cry. Oh poor babies!

Everybody can go home, Nobu wins this round. Even when he won over Lysaeck. Muahahahah. I love Lysaeck's expression, so priceless:
