Oh thanks What do they say about mao in the past japan open ??

Dai said Mao was very good in 2006. She's so young and her skating was young too. Taka remembered a change edge upright spin saying yes everyone was doing it back then.

He also said in 2010 Mao was not good, and she look grown up.

When Akiko & Taka said Dai looked different in 2006, Dai said "it doesn't look like a figure skater definitely". Later he said "I look awful" and put his hands over his face.

Thank you linglang.

Yes!! Finally something to look at! I hope we'll see some jumps and maybe a practice of her programs, we'll maybe be able to guess the music just hearing it in the background! Now I'm counting the hours...

nice it'sbeen soo long since we got real news about Mao, can't wait, it's about time they show.

Hey everyone! I'm a bit behind on the Japan Open news. Is Mao participating? When is it going to be?

JAPAN OPEN
OCTOBER 6, 2012
I was unsure of her participation until I read the posts above about her practice clip!
Either way - I really hope we get to know her music choices for this season! I am so excited!!!

I am sooo sorry for letting you down
It was not a practise clip but a very short interview one
and no mention was made of the programs.
How could they disappoint our expectations like this?

silenceisgolden, i think this is the short interview clip.

I was hoping we will at least get a glimpse of her programs and music.
Well at least we got to see her and she does look good.

I'm slowly getting crazy, trying to imagine what her programs are going to be like. Is Mao the only one who hasn't announced her music?

Yes, that's it, but she said nothing special
as "I want to give a performance just as I have been doing in practice." ...

New clip posted by tokitama on twitter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mojny3-eXMA

Do you think that's a clip of her new FS?

maoooo finally <333 woooow thankyou roma for the clip,lets hope its her FS! im liking the opening

Well there seems to be a music in the background - when she starts skating...
I doubt it is her FS music - But can anyone figure out which music it is?

That's what I was wondering, too.

Longer version with Dai, Akiko, Taka and Mao: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z409XdbOF5g

It could be, otherwise I can't remember it. So it must be new.

No, I think it was the music the TV programmers put there, I guess they don't want to reveal her choices before JO...
