BEAUTIFUL! Passionate, emotional...as only Dai can be on ice!

I just love this program - even the errors - Dai just seems to be able to tell a story on the ice! This one is of lost love & heart ache! The falls & bobbles just add to the tragedy & the plot! It is one of my favorite programs by my favorite skater! Even with all the errors he says more on ice t...

I actually liked the NHK performance better cause it had more passion & emotion to me, but I am excited that Dai got his quad back!

That said many skaters have quads, hell Dai did 2 back in 2008 4CC! But what makes him sooo special is his artistry - his ability to FEEL the music to BECOME the mu...

Beautiful!!!

I like to watch this video whenever I need a pick-me-up or ti smile...Daisuke just flows with the music - he IS the music...

The only thing missing here is the lovely smile he usually gives at the end of his performance - otherwise this is Perfect!!!

@Theponchan2007 Add Mao's mom before GPF, yet he still did some awesome skating! Invierno is my favorite LP – the passion, emotion, sophistication, artistry!!! Great athlete also - one must be to make it look so effortless! Love his variety - "garden of souls" & "blues for klook" - WOW!!! With D...

I might not know everything about figure skating, but I'm betting that the commentators for Eurosport know a fair bit - including more than you! And I agree with them that Takahashi and Hanyu delivered stronger technical performances than that error-filled mess from Chan AND that th...

The jumps - Perfect! The spins - Perfect! The music - Perfect! The costume - Perfect! The footwork - drop dead crazy good PERFECT!!! The artistry - miles above the rest! The expression - he makes you FEEL the music!!! The SKATER - gorgeous, adorable & oh so charming - just TO "DAI" FOR!!!!

How is it possible to break the previous record - which also included 2 quads- by so much when the skater falls! his FS score suggest that he was damn near perfect, which he was not! I am not suggesting he should not have won, but really...

He is adorable! And the BEST skater on the planet - I could watch him forever!

It's not called "Jump Skating" - those PCS scores are included because presentation matters! And right now Daisuke Takahashi is the best "presenter" on ice!!!

Now I don't know if Dai let the death of Asada's mom effect his SP, but I do know that his LP was better than Chan's!
