My goodness Mao’s skating is at another level now! The way she expresses herself through her skating and then projects that to the audience is breathtaking.
Mao is now appearing on one of Arashi's TV programs (Arashi ni shiyagare). (Arashi is one of the most popular J pop idols in Japan.) And it's just announced Mao works as one of the MCs together with Arashi for 24h TV (a 24 hours long annual charity TV show) of this year! It's kinda big news in Japanese show biz.
Here is a DM video of the performance and the preparations. (Seems every YT video was banned within a couple of hours.)The broadcasting of 24H TV charity show has just finished. One of the highlights towards the end was Mao dancing to tap dance with a group of deaf (or near deaf?) students. They've been practicing hard in the past couple of weeks. And the performance was turned out to be great... tap dance suites Mao well!

Nagano and Osaka venues have 5K-8K seats capacities so I hope you can get your ticket. Good luck!Happy Birthday! Mao. I hope I'll be able to see you and watch your skating again in MTT and with all the MTT members.
The interview with Mao and Coach Yamada from Aichi show (17:10)This tweet has a link to Aichi show which is the final show of 2019 tour and it was held in her home town. This video has a short interview with Mao and her former coach Yamada, too. Watch it before it's gone.
Thank you for telling me that the tweet is protected. I'll look for other available videos. Aside from copyrights issues I'm sad that Mao's videos are often (overly) protected after experiencing the YT battle being afraid of personal attacks. That sucks.@rosewood Thanks for the the translations. Unfortunately the tweet is protected so can't see the link.
