You made them, helen?
Wow! You are so talented. I really like them

I want to see this kind of side of Mao more,
especially after that "I got rhythm/Mary Poppins" season.

It looks like the news conference for "The Ice" has been prepared for today (5/31):

WAIT... YOU MEAN MAO HAS ALREADY ANNOUNCED HER PROGRAMS FOR THE OLYMPIC SEASON??

HOLD UP.. my head's spinning with many questions.
Nocturne No. 2 Op. 9.. the same SP music she used in 2006-2007. Oh em gee.. I'm imagining the SP. She could open with the triple axel, then have the triple flip-triple loop after and then another triple jump. That would be amazing! She'll break the SP world record.

And then the famed Piano Concerto No.2 by Rachmaninoff the piece by itself is epic but if Mao skated that 8-triple program she desired and have a lights-out performance... plus skating to Rachmaninoff in Russia. That performance will be LEGEND.

Okayyyy... getting way too ahead of myself here.

It's midnight here and I am sitting here flailing with excitement because these two pieces and Mao are like the perfect combination that can only be bettered by adding an Olympic gold medal *swooning still*

I KNOW RIGHT?? Mao Asada is one of those skaters in the history of figure skating who, by virtue of what she's accomplished in figure skating, DESERVES to be Olympic Champion and have her name among the legends of the sport.. including with her longtime rival. I feel for Mao to NOT win the Olympics is a crime, much like how Michelle Kwan did not win the Olympics. I know.. extreme opinion but.. I love her that much.

Olympic gold or not she will forever be remembered as one of the greats. Even her haters have to admit that when they hear "figure skating" Mao is one of the first names that comes to mind

WAIT, which program is she planning to do in the ice?! SP AND FS AND new EX?!
Omg, I caaaan't wait for the season to come!!!

Anybody here going to watch The ICE 2013?

Yes
I'm going to watch The Ice 2013 soon!!!
I'm very excited. I'm looking forward to Mao's new programs and shows by the members of The Ice. This is goning to be the third time to see the show. Whenever I see it, something new happens on the ice. My hometown is far from Osaka, but I will not miss the chance. This year, it would be special. Before the Olympic game for Mao and my son, daughter, and husband, me. Four of us will enjoy it.
Mao, thank you for giving us such a great chance to see you on the ice.

O.M.G! whiteboots2013, I so envy you. Please give us a detailed report after the shows...

Yes, I will
Maybe, on July 27th, I think.
Please wait for a while.

I am so happy for you and so happy to hear that this is something that you can enjoy with your family! I have to turn to the internet and forums and find people who share my love of figure skating I hope they have another dance competition this year

Thank you very much for your kind words
Ice shows are nice to watch. There is no judge and everybody shares the joy of figure skating.
I'm sure we could have a wonderful moment together.
There used be a small ice link in my home town. It was 40 years ago...Now, there is a shopping center
Someday, I really hope we will be able to have a nice ice link.
Till then, I'd like to wait....

Ashley is out of "The Ice" due to schedule (conflict?)
Announcement:

Maybe she wants to focus on her training, I wonder if they'll replace her.

Maybe this is why they added Mirai to the lineup
despite they had already had Ashley and Gracie?
