Happy birthday to Mao Asada. Thanks for all the great performances filled with magnificent artistry and technical excellence and for inspiring a new generation of skaters through which your elegant influence can be seen in the skating rink.

I am interested in knowing which blade(s) Mao Asada wore before John Wilson Gold Seal (and Pattern 99), as I am looking into intermediate and beginner level figure skating blades.

Is anyone here also local to Tokyo, Japan? I'll go watch Mao Asada's "Beyond" show next month at Tachikawa Arena and was wondering if anyone is going too.

Mao announced her new ice show "Everlasting33", a theatre-style show to take place in June, which will include a live orchestra, aerial performances and tap dance:





Machine translation:
Mao Asada's third ice show, Everlasting33, opens in June. Asada's new challenge is now about to begin. Since retiring from competitive life in 2017, Mao Asada has toured two national ice shows as a figure skater: the 'Mao Asada Thanks Tour' and 'BEYOND'.

She has produced every detail of the shows herself, including cast selection, choreography, direction, music, costumes and tour merchandise, and has given audiences a shocking experience as a chairperson, which has moved more than 660,000 people across Japan.

Mao Asada's next challenge is a theatre-style ice show. Figure skater Mao Asada will go beyond the confines of the skating rink and create an ice show in a theatre space. The show will consist of all new programmes, from classical to film music, which Asada has never used in her career. An orchestra will line up in front of the skating rink, which extends out from the stage, to present a lavish show with live performances of all the songs.

In addition, the aerialists and dancers will take off their skates and perform a new genre of dance together. This work, which will be performed in a theatre, will be a high-quality ice show that only she can perform.

Mao Asada is now 33 years old. Inspired by the number 33, which is her age, and the language of flowers of 33 roses, she decided on the title of the show "Everlasting33". Everlasting means "forever". This work is an "eternal love story" delivered through Asada's beloved skating.

A work that can only be made now. A challenge that can only be taken on here. Welcome to a 15-day premium theatre-style ice show where you can be intoxicated by art.

It looks like the new show will be in collaboration with the skaters from Mao's previous tour, the 'Beyond', including Imai, Shibata and Tamura. In the previous tour they already did a great work with some numbers such as Swan Lake in theatrical/ballet format, so I don't think there will be too much difficulty to keep on with a new show as an extension from the previous tour.

Hopefully there will be some new numbers performed.
