Daisuke <3 If he could work with Stephane on a program for Sochi that would be perfection.

I just love how humble he is and how srly every single interview he gives he talks about how much he admires other skaters, coaches, & choreographers in a really genuine way, not the "blah blah I respect my competitors" way that some other skaters do. sometimes I wonder if there's anyone he doesn't want to work with, he's such a stan of everyone.

both this interview and the recent article on PChan focused on their desire to challenge themselves and continue to improve; in many ways their goals are very similar, but the way they approach their goals really make me respect Dai and get annoyed at Patrick.
Where Dai credits working with different coaches and choreos to get a variety of opinions and perspectives to his skating and emphasizes learning from and being challenged by these coaches and his show companions, Patrick (and Christy Krall) seem to think that Patrick only needs to look deep within himself and be in some perfect unstressful mental place (made possible by Krall's mandatory "fun time") to discover how to improve

So true. People's personalities shine through on and off the ice, and Dai's is a lovely one which is why we stan him!! And why PChan annoys...

Missed the men's SP at Skate Chanada last night thanks to messed up stream, but I am so stoked that Dai and Javi finished ahead of Patrick! Is this the end of the ridiculous holding up of this particular skater??? I'll be watching hard.

srsly, these two recent interviews only confirmed how deep of an abyss is between them.

He is actually literally the opposite of PChan. This is why we need to channel our manna into his beautiful legs.

I can't even express how happy these ongoing reassurances about him staying till Sochi make me feel :'))))))))))))))))))
We still haven't seen enough of him.

He remains so humble and classy and so eager to constantly improve, even though he could easily already sit on his laurels. I love him sfm.
