Aww, no Mirai this year? Still a great cast and can't wait to see Jeff's collaboration with Mao :)

Also, a slight correction--Miyahara's given name is pronounced as Satoko, while Takahito's surname is pronounced Mura

Yes! No Yuzuru! Don't get me wrong, it's just this kid's schedule has been hectic! HE NEEDS A BREAK!!! So glad he's not part of it! It's still a great cast though, nonetheless.

Just a random question:
Does anyone know if THE ICE shows have been organized and took place in a different country?

THE ICE is Mao's show. Anyone who could steal the show from her wouldn't be invited.

If I don't recall it wrong then Yuzu still has some ice shows in Japan in July.
A part of me really wants to see his name on The Ice's cast. Part of me feels relieved that he doesn't do it, which means he will return to Canada and start preparing for the next season.

I also feel he will be in Canada during that time. A little bit unfortunate since I will be going to the show but at least I can see MaoxJeff and D/W! I wish they invite junior skater like Marin Honda as well....

Well i think this should put to rest once and for all about Gracie's tweet about Mao and the sandwich and if Mao had any hard feelings. The fact that Gracie was invited says to me that she considers Gracie a friend otherwise she would never have invited her to her show.

I wouldn't know whether Mao took offense to it but what Gracie did was wrong and with her huge following, it makes it seem okay to make fun of someone's English, despite it not being their first language.

I'm sure Gracie is quite popular with the Japanese crowd, she is a good skater! But that doesn't detract what she did and the fact that she was very unapologetic about it. See this link
