Mao's "Everlasting33" completed 15 sold-out limited performances in June this year, and a film version has been playing in 56 movie theaters across Japan since last weekend through September 19.

These theaters have excellent acoustics, which makes the orchestra sound very immersive.
The camera work is also very good, and the large screen allows the audience to see angles, facial expressions, and costume details that could not be seen in the venue.
Everlasting33 was a premium show that was only ever held in Tokyo, with a specially shaped ice rink set up in a theater, a live orchestra, and amazing guests, so fans who couldn't make the trip are thrilled to see the movie version.
Mao's previous ice show, "BEYOND," was so amazing that I wondered if she would be able to create a show to top it in the future, but "Everlasting33" far exceeded my expectations.
Japanese fans think it's a shame that it can only be watched in Japan, and I once sent an email to the official website asking that it be made available on Amazon Prime etc. I hope that will happen.
As for BEYOND, it's been a year since the tour ended, the Blu-ray is sold out, and there's been no announcement of a re-release, so I'll post the video of the final performance here for a while.
I plan to leave it up for about two weeks, but I may take it down sooner. Please bear with me if that happens.

One unfortunate thing was that Shu Nakamura, who was good at jumps and sometimes even landed triple axels in the show, was injured before the final and could only perform to a limited extent.
