Mao and Mai felt very fun to skate in pairs at the show last year. So they decided to skate a special long program this year. Their practice scenes will be aired in this TV program "Chukkyo Figure (Skating)" next week. This TV station exists in their hometown Nagoya.

And Mao and Jeff will skate in pairs too. They are collecting ideas for the music they should use through the TV program.

Yah!
Do they use the same music as last year?!

Wow, amazing unison! It looks like such a fun program. And I think it was choreographed by Kenji Miyamoto (I can see him in the background)! I love his programs!

Mai looks amazing. She and Mao really look like sisters when they skate together! It's as is skating with Mao gave Mai more self-confidence. Her footwork is so energetic. Ans Mao looks gorgeous as usual.
