Mao Asada is so adorable.

Does anyone know if the Shibutanis know how to speak Japanese?

The Shibutanis sometimes tweet in Japanese. I don't know for sure, but my hunch is that they have some ability in both speaking and writing. Whether they are fluent is a separate question.

But the real reason that I'm responding to your question is that it is a good excuse to make note that Jason Brown is studying Japanese, per an Aug 28 tweet from him. :)

It's always nice to see skaters learning new things like languages outside of skating. :) Thanks! IceNetwork articles always seem to indicate that their lives are strictly skating and little else.
