Sorry but I don't have time to translate it.

AHhhhh!!! I hope she's selected because I'm really aiming to go there!!!
Thanks for this news, linglang!

If she does well at nationals, would Mao not be selected for some reason? She is going to have such a busy season! I really hope they don't send her to 4CC, so close to the Olympics!

Even if Mao didn't do well at nationals, she would be selected if she did well at GPS/F, I think.

No 4CC, please. That's too close to the Olympics.  I hope she will skip some new year shows, but I don't think she will ...

Nobu is always with his mind somewhere else       

Some changes to the strategy in adjusting to the time differences for the upcoming games:
http://www.sponichi.co.jp/sports/news/2013/10/07/kiji/K20131007006762390.html

Basically, after discussing with Coach Nobu, Mao will be leaving for the competitions early on in order to make adjustments and overcome jet-lag.

Well...so ppl going for Skate America will see her early on in practices!

I don't know if any of you have ever been on this guy's blog, but he is hilarious and I think he rivals any one of us as Mao's #1 fan:

Well, it really isn't my intention to 'rival' any fellow fans. I just wanted to write about Mao during the season. Is that really too funny?  

Thanks for taking the time to read though!

This dress looks likes it has the exact same style as her 2nd SP dress for this season, only it's red instead of purple. But wow, that color is stunning on Mao.

According to Mr. Sato, Mao is scheduled to go to Canada after SA and work with Lori for some minor adjustments on her SP.

Cool! Looking forward to it!

It seems like Mr. Sato is being PR for Mao, and fielding a lot of the questions for her

Actually, I read in the twitter that it will be Kumiko Sensei accompany Mao to Canada. I think it was like what Yuka Sato pointed out that Mao's team is trying all their best to present the positive packaging for Mao!
