I love how they are all posing there with a pingpong paddle!

Mao orders Chahan (fried rice) almost every time.
Mao is polite and cute.
While Mao is composed, Kanako is a girl of the new generation.
Mao came to this restaurant in May.



Thanks clovera for the pic. I cannot miss this TV program.

I'm really happy for them.

ETA: Translation of Mao's message

Japanese Nationals is finally over! Thank you so much for your supporting e-mails and encouraging letters, which gave me a lot of power. I'm sorry for causing concern to you all. I think I was able to give performances at Nationals that will help me move onto next stage. I will start practicing hard to do my best performances at the Worlds!! I really appreciate your support.

1st photo: One of my fans gave me a cushion of Sensei and me, very look alike.
2nd photo: We went to eat out at Nagano. Steaks, sashimi, everything was delicious. Thanks to Hachinoko Restaurant.
3rd photo: Happy New Year!

This part is so funny.
I just hope that British Eurosport will be airing the event because for me, they are the most unbiased commentators out there. Perhaps because UK's Jenna McCorkell has no chance to place at the podium ever (as long as Yu Na and Mao are around), but I don't know. They just appreciate the pros and cons of everybody, and unlike Scott Hamilton or Dick Button, they dont kiss Yu Na's ass like Perez Hilton does with Lady GagMe.

I agree with Hamilton, but I never thought Button overpraised her so much. I loved hearing his comments to her to point her toes at the Olympics!

Lovely picture. Secretly wondering if Mao chose to put this picture up because of the 'Team Sato' banner at GPF.

Thank you for the video links and news, kirakira. And aoi88 for the link!

And the hilarious snapshot, clovera! They all seem to be having a blast!

aoi88, thanks for bringing awesome, funny blog posts over here! I wouldn't find them otherwise and they're such treasures

I agree with you. I miss Dick Button's commentary a lot, because he seemed like the only one who cared about spiral positions and stretch. Hamilton definitely fits, and I think Sandra Bezic does too. Also totally agree with the blog post about the Eurosport commentators..they are the best.

Thanks to kirakira for the youtube link! Nice to have you back!

The pictures on Mao's website are soooo cute! It soo looks like Grandpa and grandchild(ren)!

You know, Nobuo-sensei's birthday is coming up on January 3. I think Mao-chan and Taka-chan will have to help him celebrate, don't you think? Gotta go brainstorm.

Whoa, the forum just changed!!

I found a preview of the upcoming pingpong show!

See, I knew Mao would be pretty good! Though it looks like they're going easy on her.

At the end, they're all doing a "Yu-Na Kim" pose.

But why oh why is Mao playing with Dai and not with Taka-chan?

haha thanks for the link it looks so fun, can't wait to see the whole show...

The forum looks amazing! Okami did a great job!

Of course Mao-chan is in the front, in the middle, and does all the talking! (She says something like, "We're going to participate/compete for the first time!")

I almost feel bad for the other skaters, but I think they're probably used to it. And Mao does have SUCH an adorable expression! Smiley eyes!

Thanks kirakira!

Wow!I can't wait for this show! And no matter who won JS, Mao is the biggest star!!!

will this show later be subbed or translatet?

Beautiful smile. I just wished that everyone spoke together instead as well. Will definitely be tuning in to watch this.

by the way does anyone know if mao is keeping her current layout for 4cc? and nobuo has mentioned that he will keep working on mao's jump this year as well as in the off season... but does that mean that they will change more of mao's technique now until 4cc or will they wait until after 4cc when they have more time!!!

something I sometimes find quite irritating is that nobou doesn't clearly tell when they will/are working on the specific things... maybe I am too curious but I just can't help it, since 4cc and worlds are right around the corner. so I sometimes wish they would tell how they are going to use the little time they have left.
