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.

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.

Mao’s own ice rink ‘Mao rink’ is close to finish. An opening date is set on Nov. 11
Announcement in Japanese
The rink is located at Tachikawa city, about 1 hr from Tokyo. I’ve been to the city for Mao’s ice show during the early summer. It’s definitely a lovely city.
The rink is of standard international competition size, with a sub rink set up. Obviously, it’s aiming for hosting future international events as well.
Congrats to Mao of realizing her childhood dream of having her own ice rink.

Here's a short video with English subtitles, showing the facilities and a glimpse of the opening ceremony/performance - a brief interview with Mao is also included:

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

The flower arrangements, where the camera stops at 0:29, are from Kana, Dai and Shizuka.
This is a longer video of the opening performance feat. four adorable kid skaters and Mao's speech
:And another one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uswNa8jOMZ8
____________________
Mao-chan accepted Dai-chan's invitation to be a guest on "Poka Poka", the variety show on Fuji TV, which is co-hosted by Dai on Thursdays (she appeared on the show last Thursday, December 5th). They related anecdotes about the Vancouver Olympics closing ceremony (where Mao was so exhausted that she fell asleep
), dancing together at competition banquets, their driving styles, house cleaning habits and many other fluff topics. Mao also got to demonstrate her kickboxing abilities live in the studio and talk about "Everlasting33". If I understood correctly Mao's skating boots, she wore in Sochi, were auctioned off for / were estimated by an expert to be worth 2 million yen!
Her sister Mai also joined about 26 minutes into the show. I uploaded the episode on google drive:

It was the most fun time ✴︎
It was great to be with Dai-chan for the first time in a long time ♫ Thank you for a great time!

I guess, as fans already know, Mao is part of the Stars on Ice Japan lineup for the first time in 9 years, where she will perform an adapted version of her Bolero program from Everalsting33.
She will also collaborate with Daisuke on a duet choreographed by Kana Muramoto:
There was a short tv special today that took a look at the duet, including an interview and a brief look back at Mao's and Dai's careers:
As fans noted, the song they are skating to is "Silhouette" by Aquilo:

In other words, it looks like Yamato Tamura's wish for a Mao x Dai collaboration under Kana's "direction", as he half-jokingly mentioned when Kana and Dai attended one of the performances of Everlasting33 together, is now coming true:

Translation of Yamato's comment:
Thank you for your hard work in Hyoen.
I would like to see a chairperson's group.
If that comes true, Kana will train them. lol
