Mao News - The 2012-2013 Season!

Maybe there could be a different number of stars basing on the number of posts: 100+ one star, 200+ two star, 400+ two stars, 600+ three stars, 800+ four stars and 1000+ five stars... So everyone has stars! Would it be possibe?
However, thank you to the admins for the changes and for keeping this forum always better!

I agree, every Mao supporter wants (and should be rewarded with) some stars!

Beautiful words! I used Google translator so I just understood the general concepts she said, but I'm happy that she's still sure that working on her basic technique is what she needs in order to win the big competitions (especially against skaters with perfect technique like Yu-Na and Caro)... this is what she said, right? And, those shellfishes look delicious!
Now she has more than a month before 4CC: her main goal should be the 3F and the 3-3, now, I've thought again about it and I'm even more convinced that the 3A is not necessary: what she needs is a stable and clean 3F, without UR or mistakes like the one she did at Nationals in the FS, and a 3-3 for the SP, even a 3F+3Lo, 3T, 2A layout would be OK I think...

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

Another year has passed, and it is always a pleasure to continue discussing on this forum with everyone! Looking forward to another year of Mao-chat together!

Hoping everyone has lots of love and happiness in this season

Happy New Year to everybody! This New Years will mark one year since I joined this forum, and I just wanted to say that I am so very thankful to have met all of you. Before joining I did not know anyone who kept up on skating, and it has been wonderful to find a place where there are so many people who love and appreciate this sport. I hope you all have a lovely and blessed year ahead!

Happy new year to everyone!!!!

2012
Thank you for cheering for me so much at Japan Nationals.
When the 2012 season began, I wondered how far I could return [to my original form].
It has been three seasons since I started reworking my technique from the basics, and I finally feel that the results are starting to appear. During the off-season, I worried about when I would begin to see results, and there was a time when I wondered if I should continue skating, but I'm glad I kept believing in myself.
The result is that I kept winning. But now is not the end. I will work until I can have the technique I want to have. When I can do that--when I am at my best level and I win a gold medal, then I can really be happy. With that in mind, I will keep working hard in 2013!!!!

A-n-d, seafood in Sapporo~

I felt like I wanted to convey my thoughts to my fans, so this note has become this long!

Everyone, thank you for 2012!
I hope that 2013 will also be a good year~!

Me too, I hope that Mao will be able to work further toward her goals in 2013, and stand on the middle of the podium in Sochi in 2014!!!!

thank you for the translation batsuchan, I was really happy to hear her thoughts and such, and I have to admit i was just as much surprised to know, what she actually said in the interview, I kind of didn't expect that.

I really wish her all the best, and I'm really looking forward to see her again, can't wait for 4CC!

Thank you for the updates and translations!

I'm glad Mao and us are finally seeing results of all her hard work. I'm also glad that for her it's not enough until she's able to do the things she still wants to do for her skating. Her recent interviews for me give us a glimpse of the old fierce Mao back. She's happy she's winning but ain't satisfied and wants to do more. Can't wait to see more of her progress!

And Happy New Year to everyone!
