We've had quite a few members join us over the summer, so I'll probably post a tutorial on KeyHole TV and TV Ants again before the event.

Thanks for posting the schedules, clovera!

Which reminds me I have to install KeyHole TV and TV Ants again...

Thanks clovera!! That's really helpful. Also, the tutorial would be a huge help!

Thanks for the schedule, clovera!

Does anyone know what's Mao skating for JO? :3 SP or LP?

At JO, Everyone is skating their LP so we will see Mao's Liberstraume!

I saw NeoSports
There is clip about Mao training 3A with Coach Sato and Daisuke's 3A is
also superb too. He showed his difficult step sequence in Tango too.
Pluchenko witnessed that. A little bit worried about Miki because I could
not see her.

Tonight there will be commercial scoop about Japan Open again for 7
minutes. I will stuck on TV tomorrow.

practice clip!!!!!!

Awesome 3A!!!

Lots of other clips now showin on TV in Japan right now so they will be uploaded on YT soon.
Does anyone notice what version of Liberstraume she is using from the clip? People kept saying Mao's gonna use piano version but I think I hear orchestra..

Wow! This triple axel was outstanding! And Mao looked so relaxed there. She and Sato are great team!

The music I heard in the background as Mao skated sounded like "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini"... I think it was someone else's music, it looked like Mao was just warming up her 3A and not skating to the music. (But maybe I'm wrong! )

Oops! I think you're right! It is Paganini.
I guess I have to wait a bit more to find out what version she uses.

By the way, you know of any page web to see live JO? The only time I saw Mao compete live was for the Olympics

Sorry for taking so long.
The mini-guides for both KeyHoleTV and TVAnts are up on the Links section of the forum now.

to watch the practice clips!

The 3A!! Is she rotating FASTER or something? It looked great! And look at how stable her landing was! She doesn't have that sort of hooked landing she had before. And she has more speed going in and out of the jump.

clovera!! You're awesome!

Wow!

Thanks for the link. Can't wait to see her LP!

It looks like she's rotating faster but the jump actually looks better. What I loved the most is that Mao looks so excited and happy. I think it's a good sign.

Even in Mao CD for this season which will release this late October
has 2 Liberstraume. Perhaps it is so difficult to decide which version
they should use.

...just read a comment on Mao's 3A. I hate it when people automatically question her 3As as underrotated. That one looked great.

another one

Thanks, coconut!

Wow! Mao's SP is a tango while Dai's tango is his FS. When will they skate a real tango program together?!

Thanks for the links!!

I'm so happy to see Mao's smiles during practice before competition.
Mao must feel relaxed and confident thanks to Mr. Sato.

In the video, Mao says that she hopes everyone will show their power explosively for Team Japan.

Yana said that Sarah didn't get her skates yet, she couldn't practice
