Mao wasn't able to make the event but she did send a message congratulating him and saying how impressed she was by his Olympic performance. He responded that she's always been an inspiration to him.

Poor Nathan has had to work the entire time while his friends have been sightseeing. The skaters are probably back to rehearsals tomorrow.

Here's a flashback to when Nathan performed at Skate Asia back in 2010:

The price you pay for becoming Olympic champion. LOL

For fun, Meagan Duhamel’s dream partner:

I haven’t double checked the numbers, but seems about right.

Nathan with a short message to the fans. In Japanese he begins with a hello and finishes with an invitation to the show.

The 3 men's Olympic medalists sat down for a 3 way chat:
Yuma says he's a little nervous to have Nathan there in front of him.
Shoma says he wanted Nathan to skate as he has for the last 4 years and win the Olympics. Nathan expressed his thanks and said he'd like to talk about games next time because Shoma is so good at them.

Nathan's latest IG update from the show.
 
SOI Japan tour is done. Here's a revisit to my favorite part of show where Nathan weaves in and out of the other skaters during What a Wonderful World. On day 3 he was zooming around so quickly I was worried he would sideswipe Evan, and if you look carefully Evan moved his foot back a little just in case. :laugh:

According to Alexa's IGS she's already back in the US and headed to Florida for the first US SOI show so it's likely the others are as well.

Panasonic produced a short video to document Nathan's visit to the Panasonic Museum in Osaka.

The museum's IG page also includes some photos.

Nathan on the cover of the SOI program

AP news story on SOI
“The whole cast is excited to be here,” says Chen, whose dominant Olympic performance climaxed a career including six U.S. titles and three at worlds. “It's been a while since we've been able to do a show, and to be able to be together after two years of not — and to celebrate the work we all put in before and after the Olympics — it's very exciting.”

Chen, who also will skate to “Space Song” by Beach House in another solo routine, chuckles when asked if Elton John reached out after the Olympic triumph.
“He sent out a tweet after the competition, which was real sweet,” Chen says. "I personally did not even imagine he knows who I am.

“It is definitely one of the more meaningful programs I have skated. Earlier this season I was not planning to skate to it. After picking it up again, it definitely felt like the right fit. I'm glad I had the opportunity to bring it back and it was the vehicle that helped me.”
Perhaps the most entertaining and memorable show programs are the group numbers. Chen, for example, will skate in all four of them, to music by AC/DC, The Weeknd, Jon Batiste and, naturally, Elton John.

I have been a Nathan fan for years now but recently discovered this forum. Hello :)

Have you guys seen Mirai’s latest reel?

I saw on twitter (yes i’m on twitter!) they think Nathan and Mariah are really dating.

Looking forward to SOI 😍

they would be SO CUTE together! however i doubt it as of right now. Mariah was engaged to Roman until sometime last year i believe and with the whirlwind of an olympic season i doubt either of them would have the energy to date anyone. in the future though now that they're at the end of their careers? maybe.

I think it’s cause of how Mariah was clinging on Nathan at Mirai’s reel that twitter were thinking they may be dating.

Tonight’s the first SOI show. I hope Nathan and those from SOI japan had enough rest before this tour.
