On a trip through Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka, Medvedeva was invited to compete on a Japanese TV show. She danced in an outfit inspired by the 1990s anime series “Sailor Moon,” and said she played air hockey and had to balance on one leg, according to Russian media.

Sounds like fun!

The sailor moon dancing is really cute. Perhaps inspiration for a new SP?

– I spent my holiday in China and Japan. In the Land of the Rising Sun, I visited Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. Saw the local ancient temples. Most of all I liked, of course, in the capital. Tokyo – it’s like a huge metropolis, but people are very calm and courteous there. For example, in Moscow, if you ask a passerby how you get somewhere, he will answer you at best on the run, and in Japan they will explain thoroughly and almost take you where you need. Such attitude is enticing.

When do you start preparing for the Olympic season?
– Since June 5 I’ll be preparing in Novogorsk, I will train there for a month.
Do you already know about your programs?
– Of course, but we will not disclose our secrets till the beginning of the season.

She has two shows coming up in Japan -- Fantasy on Ice in Niigata, June 16-18, and Dreams on Ice (Team Japan's summer exhibition), July 7-9 at Shinyokohama.

I love that this skater knows both her brand potential and her demographic. Medvedeva is one smart cookie!
