I wonder if Mao will have a new EX ready...

Can't wait to see it!

I would like to see a new exhibition program from Mao too! Maybe she could do 2 programs, So Deep is the night, and a new one!!

I'm at the date. It's right bang on the days of my practical exam, I'll be distracted again.

It's a cute program!!

Wow, what an adorable dress!

This EX program's music is "Sing Sing Sing"

Sounds cool!

Will there be any videos available?

I love the music choice!!!

I'm so happy to see Mao choose more playful tunes this season. I loved her playful programs from her younger days and I think this style suits her very well. I can't wait to see it.

Probably not. Prince Ice World is very rarely broadcasted. But I hope there will be some news clips available (they usually show some clips from practices and performances), or maybe that some fan will record it and post online (last year somebody recorded Shizuka's entire "It's a Beautiful Day" program).

Is it just me or the link simply doesn't work?

I hope someone recorded it, I want to see the program so bad! I'm also happy Mao-chan is doing some fun program again. All her programs are so different in style, I love it!

Thanks a lot!

The site is back up:

Better quality than my YT upload, that's for sure, so I'm setting my video as "private" for now.

I love her new dress! It,s sooo cute! I think it's the same model as the one she wear at worlds?!

Apparently, the show will be aired by a regional TV station based in Nagoya on July 28.

I'm very happy that it will be aired - and very sad that I will have to wait for so long!

That's too long away!



But if it's Mao, it's worth the wait. (:

Just out of curiosity checked on if the ancient wisdom of Tao has anything to say on figure skating topic. And you probably won't belive it, but it has.
These are only a couple of most 'context-relevant' quotes. Read them carefully, with a calm, enlightened voice. Here you go!

"...Ignorance is bliss. Knowledge removes Will. The Internet is like a basin of endless depth. Anyone who has started to drink from it cannot stop, forgetting their thirst. They read the latest news, chat with each other and search for information for information's sake. There is no need to know what a skater said about the new program. There is no need to read four identical interviews in four foreign languages. New pictures and YouTube links will not change anything in the world order.
This is why a wise man avoids the Net.
Everything that one has to know will be revealed. Anything not revealed is not meant to be known.

<...>If a man waits for the release date of his favorite skater's new program, his life flows away as if paused. He moves from one calendar date to another instead of enjoying today. Waiting dries the heart and takes away ability to enjoy what one has in the moment. This is why a wise man does not wait. He watches YouTube videos which have been released already and knows nothing about things to come. He lives in present, feeding from the past."

That's it. Insane, yeah?

I watched a part of Mao's exhibition!

She did a new combo spin! Camel - Button Camel* - CF - really low sit spin with extended leg - CF - 3 x Illusion right on the beat of the music

*In case somebody doesn't recognize the term, Button Camel is upside down camel with bent leg, YuNa does it in her LP.

I'll try to post it later

Have you boarded some classified Japanese vessel, challenged the captain to a duel and then taken over a cargo?
