| May 4th, 2009 | Here's
this week's edition of Mao Asada Dream Lab. You can also watch other interviews here:
Also, according to this article, Mao should be in Russia right now. She is probably there to choreograph her new programs! |
|
| April 27th, 2009 | Also, Mao took part at a tv game show called Tokyo Friend Park along with other skating champions; Miki Ando, Takahiko Kozuka and Nobunari Oda. It will be aired on the 7th of May. Here's a little preview! Enjoy! | |
| It
seems like Mao
made a lot of
interviews those days. Take a look at
four of those... Here's some good informations about it that Batsuchan from Ballerina on ice translated! Thanks a lot!  [Hehe, I'm copying Okami with the arrows!  ]
In the second clip, at around 1:50, Mao is talking about the triple
axel and how she has confidence in it now and think it will be an
important part for her programs next year, and then she says, "at the
very least, I want to be good friends with the triple axel!" Her
phrasing just made me  !Mai says: "Mao practices
harder and works harder than anyone else, and
it's hard to always be #1, and she's always facing the competitions
with such heavy pressure, and I think, 'Amazing!'" Around
3:20 - the clip shows 15-year old Mao describing how she thinks
she'll be in 4 years, and she says, "I think I'll be kind of like an
old lady." 
Then she says, "in four years time, I think I'll be doing no-mistake
performances in every competition." When I saw that, I thought, wow,
Mao really has grown up so much!Her
words at the end were really good, and when she was talking, I felt
like I could see a little bit of that 15-year old Mao shining through: 5:10 - "Without forgetting the old me, without forgetting that feeling of 'I love skating,' I won't think it's fun, but, if I can relax, and not think about the competition too much, it still won't be 'fun,' but it would be good if I can face the competitions with an excited feeling!" [This is hard to translate because Mao keeps saying something like, "then it will be fun - NOT!", so she's kind of joking around, but it doesn't work in English so well...  ] |
||
| April 22th, 2009 | Since
the competitive season is over, Mao seems to be
busy with interviews! Here's an interview concerning the World Team Trophy (if I find the translation, I'll let you know!): part 1 part 2 on the right, it's another interview with Super News. |
