Of course Alina shines for me through all of them [emoji7] but they are all doing such an amazing job. It's really a pleasure to watch these performances and I wish I will be able someday to take part in one of these SOI shows. Beautiful! [emoji106] [emoji106]

I just read this on twitter (@yawningshoma)-
Please tell me someone caught this moment on video!
Well.... Whoever those other skaters were should have realized that they were the ones in the wrong spotlight.
There are 2 Basic Rules to remember
RULE #1 - The spotlight shall ALWAYS belong to Alina and Shoma
RULE #2 - see rule #1

Russian speaker here. Actually she said: "I already said that in interview, and yes, this is very beautiful. I am just.. blooming together with sakura!"It seems japanese translator there have rather shallow knowledge of Russian and she can't translate words different from standart business lexicon.
Actually she said: "To be honest, I have not thought about it. It's a very strange question."
Thank you Elucidus for the correction! Wow, Alina acutally said such poetic words! Indeed, she looks like as if she is blooming...
Here are translation part 2 from around 20:50 in the following video! I still couldn't finish all, so there will be part 3.

Q: Do you have opportunities to eat sushi in Russia, too?
A: Yes, but the quality is different.
Q: Is there any other Japanese food you like? How about ramen?
A: I liked Chinese salad, too.
laugh2 Yes, ramen was also good.Q: What part of Japan do you like?
A: Calmness.
Q: Did you find any difference between Japanese and Russian TV shows?
A: Well, when it comes to shooting for TV shows, Japanese ones feel busier and Russians more relaxed. Yesterday’s shooting was also a bit hectic, I enjoyed it, though.
Q: Yeah, Russian TVs may not force their guests to eat food like we do. (Laugh)
A: Not sure, but they also might ask foreigners to eat some Russian foods such as borscht.
Q: Did your situation change completely after Olympics?
A: To some extent. When I walk outside, more people come and talk to me. At the training gym, children run to me and give me a hug.
Q: You are still getting taller, aren’t you? Does it affect your skating?
A: Yes, as a human being, growth is natural and cannot be prevented. Yes.
Q: Now you are 15 years old. When Beijing Olympics are held in 2022, you are still only 19. So, of course Beijing is your next goal, isn’t it?
A: Hmm, to be honest, I didn’t think much even about PyeongChang Olympics. So, I will proceed in the same way (without thinking).
(TV commentators were surprised with Alina’s maturity and wisdom.)
Q: Let me ask a serious question. What did you think about participating the Olympics as the individual athletes, not as team Russia, due to the issue of doping?
A: Well, what I know at least is the status of Russian Olympic Committee was restored after the Olympics. During the Olympics, I didn’t have any trouble and the whole experience was just amazing.
Q: What do you want to do if you take one day off in Japan?
A: I’d like to go temples. Also some shopping, because I’d like to buy Japanese cosmetics whose quality is good.
Q: At the age of 15, you’ve got a lot of attention and probably a great pressure, too. Do you have any special words to live by?
A: It’s not a particular word, but I know that I’m blessed with people around me, who guide me properly when I get carried away.
End of part 2
As you can see, the interview contains some sensitive matters. So, pleaaase correct me if there is any mistranslation!

Thank you very much for taking the time doing this for us - it is much appreciated

What is Chinese Salad?
She may be only 15 years old - but her maturity and humble nature far exceeds many so-called "adults"
Her family must be so proud of her - and for so much more than just her skating accomplishments.

girl, enjoy the food. And sneak in some ice cream too, when Eteri is not looking (because not being allowed icecream in FREAKING ITALY, THE EUROPEAN CAPITAL OF ICECREAM, is even sadder than finishing off podium).
And get clothes and cosmetics galore, because you deserve it. And maybe... find some inspiration for future programs.

Her grandmother is with her.
I think one of the Japanese tv hosts was making a joke about her needing to buy extra luggage for the trip home

Thanks! Were there photos with her grandmother, is there an IG link?
Lol, think she needs more than one extra luggage.
Also, big thanks to everyone who have provided translations for the interviews. Really happy to finally be able to understand what has been said.

she needs to book an extra plane for all those gifts! This one should be enough i guess!
Oh no:shocked:. The video was deleted. The following seems to be working, but it’s a shortened version.

Phew. I could finish translation before the video is gone. So here is part 3!
During the interview, there was a time for the advertisement of Stars on Ice.
Q: Would you tell us about the highlights of this show?
A: The opening and finale are very beautiful. Also, the skaters from around the world skate their own programs with all their heart and soul. So, please enjoy watching them!
Q: Are you going to take holidays after this show?
A: Yeah, I heard so. And after the holidays, a training camp will start.
Q: Then, maybe you don’t have much time to see your family. Have you already met your parents?
A: Yes, my parents came to see me.
Q: What did they say to you?
A: They were so happy. My father was an athlete and is still involved in sports, so he understands my feeling.
Q: We know that your father is an ice hockey coach.
In closing, would you give a comment to your Japanese fans?
A: I always appreciate your support. You give me a lot of energy, with which I can go forward and work hard.
Q: Would you appear on our TV show again when you come to Japan next time?
A: I will, if you invite me here.
End of the interview
That’s it! Maybe some details are lacking...
About ‘Chinese salad’, it’s a vegetable salad with a sauce called ‘Chinese dressing’ made of soy sauce and sesame oil.
When they talk about how to bring presents back, with smile Alina said something like ‘I may add one more suitcase, yes?’ to somebody in the studio. So, maybe her grandmother was there.
I am also the one who made Alina’s suitcase a bit heavier. Yes, I went to the Stars on Ice show in Yokohama two days ago! I could see her in person and it was like a dream. She was enthusiastically welcomed by the audience. A lady sitting next to me even begun to cry when Alina only lighted her candle.
The show was truly fantastic, and the audience got excited. I shouted almost all skaters’ names and eventually got a sore throat.

She didnt said "not a good question", but said "strange question" this is a quite significant difference, without negativity. I noticed that in the Japanese media this phrase caused a lot of discussion
