Tzu-Han has moved up to Sr. level, so she should be sent to 4CC (TES minimum already reached). For jr. woman, the most likely entry will be Yu-feng Tsai, who just won the jr. women's title at AO trophy. Yu-feng will skate at both JGP Bangkok & Osaka, and has cleared the TES min for JWC.

Yu-Hsiang will focus on JWC 2024 (to be held in Taipei), most likely. As for Sr. man, Chinese Taipei will have Fang-yi Lin, who has got very close to 4CC min., and he trains in Beijing.

Since I started the thread, I figured that I should be here to participate in the Finale to the tour... Luckily I was able to purchase the LIVE streaming ticket from overseas. Not only the pair skating on Scheherazade, but also the Swan Lake number, and most of all, I want to watch Mao skating...

There was a special documentary on the 1-yr long preparation work for 'Beyond' tour by NHK broadcasted last night. The documentary was promoted as a special documentary of Mao and a famous Japanese Movie actress, Sayuri Yoshinaga (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sayuri_Yoshinaga). It's kind of...

The tour has moved on to Kanagawa this weekend. And it happens that Maia and Alex Shibutani are currently visiting Japan. So they took the chance to join one of Mao's shows in Kanagawa: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cju44KcJ-TI/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Okay, now I get what's been passing on from Twitter about Yamato Sensei and Mao (the 2nd and 3rd photos from the above link): So they kneeled down to take a bow to each other at the end of the performance. It's just great that Yamato Sensei can join the tour!

The tour is moving on to the 2nd stop, Aomori (Hachinohe). It looks like Mai (Mao's sister) is visiting the tour 🥰: https://www.instagram.com/p/CikoRuhJQ6h/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

I'm BEYOND happy that Mao brings back her Ballad No. 1!!!!!! (And I'm dying to see Mao's ballet programs, I know she's been drilling on her ballet skills with a professional ballet dancer.)

Updating the news about the opening show (this post will keep on being updated): News link: (In Japanese), reports on the 1st show. One of the numbers is to 'Sing, sing sing'. News link 2: (In Japanese) News link 3: (In Japanese), reports with more photos. The opening numbers also include 'I...

Can't believe tomorrow is the opening of the tour...I'm so looking forward to the performances and hope everything will go well!

7-day count down: From the 'beyond_Maotour' official IG account: https://www.instagram.com/p/CiC1QUUpps9/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link So looking forward to the pair program!! Also, the promotion/interview video by Mao from the official YT channel: https://youtu.be/jTRn8QMdA4s Looking forward...

It should be the FS, I think. And the SP is by Cathy Reed (to Lion King, same from last season). But I originally thought she'd have a new SP for this season...

Yes, Hamada’s Jr students still work with Lori. Hana Yosida’s SP this season is a great Jr. level program (her FS is by Dickson). And I’m definitely looking forward to Mao’s FS: with a potential to become a podium making program at JWC (hopefully, and after watching the program twice via video...

30 days count down until the opening~ Here's another preview YT clip: https://youtu.be/JAIfbNj9cvw (So perhaps Sing Sing Sing will be one of the show numbers?) Also, Mao's older sister Mai, revealed in her IG live story that she was able to attend one of the (dressed?) rehearsals of the tour...
