Thanks everyone for the update!
Wow Mao got her hair so short! Cute Love Hearts

I'm really looking forward to her new EX.
I will watch the show in Nagoya next week. Dance

Tell me about it! Frustrated

This sucks. I don't know why they blocked it, they're only promo videos not a live stream, and it's not like it's Olympics, so why did they do it. Mad

I hope someone will be able to upload them on youtube, and fuji TV won't notice it. Wishful thinking.

According to fan reports Mao's new EX is to "This Little Light of Mine" by Yo-Yo Ma & Amelia Zirin-Brown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InKt271GHoA

It is a very different style from Mao's usual EX numbers! I love YoYo-Ma, and this arrangement is quite lovely flower

Mao & Jeff's pair number was apparently to "Bolero" WOW!

I really want to see it ASAP!

I've just got back from Nagano.

Mao's new program was something like gospel music and I'm afraid I can hardly say that I liked it.
But her "Let it go" with Mai and "Bolero" with Jeff were sooo good Many Hearts

I only wish the both programs lasted much longer!
I thought "Bolero" was hommage to Torvill & Dean because costumes and choreography were similar to theirs.

Patrick and Jeff's side-by-side "Elegy" and
"Take Five" by Taka, Patrick and Jeremy were also very good!

Thank you, did not you like her new program?, I liked the music the first time I heard, but may be the program is not so good. Anyway I want to watch it now Boogie

Thank you for the report! flower

I'm really curious about her new EX. I'm not sure I like the music, but I'm not going to judge until I see her program. Last year, when I heard to what version of "Smile" she's going to skate, I immediately thought it's not going to be good, yet it turned out to be one of her (at least to me) best EX. Though so far, nothing has topped "Jupiter". Swoon

I can't wait to see Jeff and Mao's Bolero. Happy dance

This sounds so good.

A glimpse of "Let it go" and a new gala program.

Wow, that's a very different Mao in her new EX. I like the dress, it reminds me of Elie Saab. Love his dresses, but can't afford them.

What was the audience reaction to Mao's new EX? Did they like it, or was their reaction similiar to yours?

This picture is amazing. Mao looks so good with some added weight. How can anyone claim she's not "artistic" is beyond me.

I love the costumes!

Mao & Mai as Anna & Elsa look so cute. According to the news, 70 children from who were affected by the big earth quakes in Nagano were invited to watch the show - I'm sure they enjoyed this number cheers

This Little Light of Mine outfit looks stunning. I love the floaty see-through coat, and how the golden dress seems to shine through it sunny

And, of course, the Bolero outfits are perfect. I love T&D's Bolero and I'll be happy to see Mao & Jeff skate a tribute to this historic program. That first photo (http://twitpic.com/e8k2yw) looks just amazing! Cloud 9
