I just realized how much I love Mao expression in Jupiter ex. At first I couldn't call it my favourite exhibition, but it really grew on me and I see this program as a masterpiece. Mao feels this music so well!

For me, something struck me when I first saw the video in full. Something was different. Every year Mao gives us amazing exhibitions capped by Chopin's Ballade last year. Then when I saw Jupiter I was so moved by it. You can just feel the heartfelt emotion in it. It doesn't have to be flashy. It just looked so natural for our ethereal Mao. Simply breathtaking!

I'm wishing they'd air the Osaka version, too.

Well according to this video (posted by Shikure in the Mao news thread), it seems that the September 10 broadcast will be the Osaka show. But then again, I don't understand much Japanese so what do I know. Although if they're not going to show it, they're being really mean, showing us all those little teasers

I'm in two minds about that - I'd love to see the Osaka show, but Mao skated the Chopin EX only in the Nagoya shows, didn't she? I really want to see the full version of it, especially considering the fact that she landed 3S in both performances!

Humm I think you're right... But I've got the full broadcast of last year's show on my computer and they did show both exhibitions for skaters who did two over the course of the shows (I think they were Shen and Zhao, Taka-chan, Buttle, Elene G. and a few others). They seem to follow the same pattern this year, showing a much longer broadcast a month later so we might yet see the Chopin Ex!

if I got it right where is no full version of Mao new Chopin ex yet? I tried to find it but only found little clips from Japanese news videos.

and this year there is not many backstage videos as past year , only one or two

Thanks, everyone, for all the news.

Does anyone know whether the version of 'Jupiter' that will be broadcasted on Sept 10 (?) is from the Aichi show or from the Osaka show?

I hope it is the one from the Osaka show. With Mao not skating in as many shows/competitions this season, it's a rare opportunity to see a different performance of this stunningly beautiful program.

Of course I'm also looking forward to Mao's new Tarasova exhibition and the famous Taka kiss, but Jupiter is already the highlight of this skating season for me

i like Mao's reaction at 2:53 of the latest clip ~ they asked "chu" (kiss?)...then Mao touched her own face and sort of confused ~that is just too cute. Since that was right after the grand finale, she didn't have chance to talk / think about that yet.

Jupiter exhibition may not be the most technically complicated program but it's really with all the emotion and expression. Mao takes herself to next level and also with all the skills improved.

Was the full broadcast of the Ice supposed to happen today?? Can't wait to see Mao's new Chopin number!

It's just the way Japan described the time.

◇中京テレビ　９月１０日(土)　２６：０９～２８：０９
◇ＣＳ日テレ　９月２４日(土)　２１：００～２３：００

the 26:09--> means 2:09am of next day
for ppl is going to set their recorder, it's easier to understand

Thanks for the info, Shikure!

You're right, they really put 26:09 although for the life of me I can't fathom why they'd put midnight but the time is like that and not Sep 11 2:09. There's only 24hrs in a day... Here in SG it'll most likely be at 1:09am seeing as Japan is an hour ahead.

I just hope The ICE channel in youtube will upload the vids by tomorrow.

you are welcome and we are in the same time zone, roma
I didn't notice that is Sep 11 until I saw someone on twitter saying she is going to set her recorder earlier today.
Hope we can see them upload something new when we wake up tomorrow ~fingers cross.

someone uploaded the jazz EX on China website

Ok... I wasn't prepared for how much I love this!!!! Fantastic Ex from Tat again. Of course, it's not emotional like Jupiter, but it's just so fun! And Mao pulls it off so well. She really looks like she's having a ball out there. I hope she can bring this to competitive ice this season.

I really can't wait for The Ice YT channel to be updated...

Thanks again, Shikure!!! We finaly get to see Mao's Chopinata and I agree with Chiyori. That was fun and it's good to see Mao having fun skating to it also. I really wish to see Mao skate like this in her competitive programs again -- seeing her skate freely and having fun.

The costume ain't so bad but I wish to top was different... The skirt seemed heavy, though.

It's not so bad in movement, and I guess I think it's kinda cute, but that may be because Mao is wearing it lol. The skirt does look heavy but it looks sooooo good in the air and on that final scratch spin...

ETA: And I just found this on FSU... https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xl0oiv_yuzuru-hanyu-yyyy-the-ice-2011-4t-3a_sport

A compilation of Yuzuru's awesomeness during The Ice... 3A-3A sequence, 4T, 4T-3A sequence and 4S... This kid is just incredible.

I have to admit I wasn't expecting to love it either (or at least I didn't think it'd come anywhere near Jupiter), but I was wrong. I love it. Only Mao can go from stunningly beautiful to joyfully exuberant in the same program like that. I love how joyful and free and expressive her skating is here and I hope hope hope it continues into the season.

I like it but I have to admit that this is my least favorite out of all her Chopin programs. I think the program can be much better if she changed her costume to something more jazzy. However, her performances here and in Jupiter convince me that her speed has improved quite a bit because even with wearing such a heavy dress, she appears to be skating noticeably faster than in Ballade and competitive programs last season.

Oh my goodness.
Thank you so much shikure!!

I was sort of dreading this since Yuzuru's first successful 4S clip popped up, but I'm no longer excited about Japanese Nats for this very reason.
