Hello, LadyMissG, thank you very much for this.
My and wife I greatly enjoyed an art exhibit at the Japan Society a few years ago and look forward to returning someday.
Will these events be recorded to watch later? I intend to watch this one live, but I won't be available tomorrow for the Shibutanis, I'm afraid.
I passed this along to my colleagues at a Japanese publication, though I suspect they will be more interested in the baseball discussion.

Hi, You're so welcome! Thanks so much for passing this on to your colleagues! We may still be adding more panelists to the baseball discussion. That's great that you were able to visit Japan Society! We are recording all three events and will post them to our YouTube channel later. We may need to edit out some of the video clips we'll be showing due to copyright restrictions that YouTube has but essentially we'll be posting the majority of each program, so subscribe to our channel so you'll get notifications when we post them. https://www.youtube.com/user/JapanSocietyNYC Enjoy the events!

Hello, LadyMissG. My wife and I enjoyed the program. Thanks again for letting us know about it.
It was great to hear all of the skaters. I'm looking forward to Satoko's competitions this season, and seeing Yuka and Nancy brought back a lot of memories as a fan. (Well, seeing all of them did).

Hi! I'm so glad you both enjoyed the program. I thought everyone was very candid and I could not seem to get them to end on time, everyone was so excited to continue chatting. We posted the video on YouTube, FYI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnUv8DMv9_I&t=600s
Thank you again for tuning in!
Best,
Lisa
