Thanks yuki!

Too bad about the popped flip!

Mao changed the spin at the end of the 'Masquerade Waltz' steps to the one she does at the end of 'Bells'! I love the one-handed Biellman!

The commentators kept saying stuff like "this kind of bright/happy song suits Mao," and "a smile suits Mao best." But they also pointed out that it's good that Mao challenges herself with different genres every year, so it's exciting to see what new Mao Asada we'll see next!

Looks like the new Japanese pair: Mao and Daisuke, keep practicing a lot together! Their pair spins are getting better and better since Worlds!
Now I am wondering when they will have their competition debut.. is 2010 Jpn Nats too soon?

Hmm.. Takahiko... jealous enough??

Aw!!! This made my day! What a pair!

After all, Dai-chan is very "kakkouii" = cool, and fun--which is what Mao says her type is. And he seems to have made that key realization--Mao's not a little girl anymore; she's a young woman! Hmm, this is definitely fodder for a fan fic...stay tuned!
