I was the person who mentioned that. Actually, someone else on here gave me the idea, saying Mao should be white, and Yuna should be black.

If I knew how, I would make a little montage video story about this, but I don't. Maybe sometime I will do something like a did a while back with my "Magical World of Figure Skating" story with the pictures and all.... Think I should?

Maybe, if you have the time. It sounds like a pretty neat idea!

Maybe next time the boyfriend goes fishing or something. Not only would I put myself through quite some embarrassment if I was caught doing something as nerdy as that (he knows I love figure skating, but he doesn't know just how big of a figure skating nerd) I am), but I might even piss him off that I'm wasting my time on something SO silly. I mean, if I caught him doing something like this, I would probably get a little pissed too. Unless there was absolutely nothing better to do (and there's ALWAYS something that needs to be done).

LOL... aaah this reminds me of the way my boyfriend looks at me and generally rolls his eyes or groans when I get up in the middle of the night to watch some live skating. But then again, I can't really take him seriously since he's one if those people who follows curling even when it's not the Olympics and can spend 3 hours watching golf on TV (of all things... playing is cool but on TV, it's just dull...)

Well at least he has not one, but two somewhat nerdy obsessions, so he can't give you too much of a hard time about yours

I love!!! Akiko's new Ex program! And she has been working on her line, it really shows in this program. I hope she has a wonderful season

Takahashi and Tran just keep on impressing me. THey just seem very versatile and pull this soft music just as convincingly as they did Feeling Good last season. Once they work in that 3 twist and maybe get a little bit more height and distance on their throws, watch out!

Same for Kanako. Very different program from everything we've seen so far.

And all around, no boot covers! Yay! I hope this is the new trend. I hate them. Especially on Akiko. Her legs look way less knobbly without them.

I loved that look on Kanako! Her program actually reminded me a bit of Mao's Ballade with the white dress and all the twizzles...but it works for Kanako too. I hope she skates to something like this exhibition number this season because it will show the judges she is mature and set her apart from the upcoming juniors.

Oh Kanako is such a joy to watch!
But every time I see her - I go back to her worlds debut and go wry -_-
How unjust were the judges towards her!!
She deserved much more!

Her program is stunning!
Hope she has a great season!

She reminded me more of Shizuka and Miki (with the white dress last season) than Mao. I think Kanako has a very different style from Mao. She isn't as light and graceful in my opinion. But this is a nice program.

Agreed with you that Kanako is so energetic but not so graceful.
Kanako is pretty strong regarding technique part but her performance is still not so mature.
She is still growing from girl to woman.
I think the under-rated thing during worlds applied to most of skaters and Kanako's program is a little bit too cute for senior games.

Haruka Imai is more graceful than Kanako and I really want to see her performance on DOI.
Since her DOI performance last year was so adorable and at the same time she is so feminine
Maybe I need to wait to the longer version of DOI O.A.

I totally agree with "you fell in love with him as soon as you saw it" ~ yes, I did ･:*:･(*/////∇/////*)･:*:･
and the comments of Haruka "I think she has a good taste for costumes but she herself was even lovelier than her dress." totally agree
