Mirai Nagasu ‏@mirai_nagasu tweeted another group photo showing a lot more of the students they visited.
Visiting a school in Sendai! Although we went to their school to cheer the kids on, the kids ended up being the ones who inspired us. They have done an incredible job rebuilding their city http://instagr.am/p/SWI9o7i5Xa/

Bravo to the kids for their resilience.
Seems that Nagasu was able to channel the inspiration that they gave her into her SP. :)

It's lovely of Mirai to tweet like that. :yes: ...especially for me to know it, after watching such a cold-sweating/nerve-wracking competition. ;)
Thanks a lot, golden411! :)

deedee, are/were you in Sendai attending NHK in person? Or at home glued to a screen with cold sweats and nerves on edge all the same? ;) Either way, thanks as always for your posts.

Silly off-topic questions for you (if you happen to know the answers):
Is "domo arigato" the origin of the mascot's name "Domo"? And who is the other mascot? https://twitter.com/Max_Settlage/status/272189728684638208

There is a Japanese channel on some Comcasts & on my tiny cable provider. It is carrying NHK, but unfortunately, I didn't even know it existed until this week. I have to figure out how much it will cost me to get it :) in time for the JGPF

Yes yes, I am one of those who at home glued to a screen with cold sweats and nerves on edge this weekend, leaving all cooking/dishwashing/laudry/cleaning etc. to their 'sweet' husbands. :biggrin:

You are right about the origin of 'Domo', I think. :) The other characters are named: Usajii and Ta-chan.

Duh, until I saw this photo, I had not put it together that Team USA swept the bronze medals at NHK. :yes: Congratulations to all (and to Davis/White).

Thanks very much for your reply and link, deedee. Apologies that I hadn't noticed that you already had mentioned in another thread that you would be closely following all the NHK events from home. Good thing that your husband is so accommodating. ;)
