Miki out of her teenage years today

It's Miki's birthday today. :) She has turned 20.
<I couldn't find the right section so I'll post here.>

I sincerely hope that her twenties will be happy, fruitful, and exciting for her!
I wish Miki the very best coming.
I thank her, from my heart, for the colorful memories she gave us fans during her teenage years.

Me sorcerer is presently being half-killed by my work to do, and temporarily can't post here often.
So although there are numerous published interviews of recent Miki, I havn't been able to translate and introduce them here on this forum.
But I should write here at least that:
1. She is reported working hard on the rink in the Chukyo University, toward the Japanese Nationals.
2. She says that her injury on her thigh which she punctured with her blade when she fell in the six-minutes warm-up (you can see it did bleed but she says that's not the reason of her falls in the LP) is gradually healing under the tapings.
3. She has always refused to comment on persons in her private connections, but it was Morozov who recently disclosed to the media that Miki lost her grandmother after the Worlds and that Miki loved her so much. I apologize Miki for writing this but now that it is already known in Japan, I thought mentioning it here is not a sin.
4. Her mentality is much stronger than what Jack Gallagher writes in IceNet and JapanTimes. However hard she's trampled, she may be bent down for a moment but never cracked, and will surely return back to her sound self.
5. She cares a lot about her fans, and she even gave us words of encouragement, on a site where she occasionally visits, in her response to the huge bundle of posts cheering her up after the NHK.

So, Miki is recovering, maybe slow, maybe fast, but definitely trying her way upwards!
Happy birthday, Miki !!

Wow, happy birthday Miki~~:birthday:
Not quite sure but I heard it was Brian Orser's birthday too... Do they have same birthday?
 
Happy birthday to Miki! (Also to Brian orser)

I am sad to hear that she lost someone dearly to her.
She is a strong girl, she will come back at national! I love love love her triple lutz-triple loop.
 
Happy Birthday to Miki (and Brian Orser)! :party:

I hope she heals well and that she will do her best at Japanese Nationals. so sorry to hear about the recent loss of her grandmother.
 
i thought i read through one of the skating magazines that Miki was 20 last year around this time.
i noticed Miki ages keep changing year by year, one year she is a year younger the next a year older.

because in the earlier years the skaters lied about their true age. in fact one skater changed it through the courts to make that skater younger than what the skater was actually born.
 
The magazines tend to make miscalculations on foreign skaters' age.
Why would Miki have to lie about her age?
 
\

It wouldnt be her it would be the skating federations, they use to do it all the time because being know as a younger skater is being better known as an older skater even if it is only a year or months. because they felt skating is for the young not for the old. i mean competitive skating.
 
Happy Birthday, MIKI! I hope her 20's were as good if not better than mine (and I'm only halfway through!)

And sorcerer, welcome back! We missed you, and hope that all is well for you.

I cannot believe Miki is only 20! She has been on the scene for so long...

That's funny because some people I know their ages keep getting younger every year or stay the same! :laugh:

In Japan, people don't usually lie about their age(even females, believe it or not).

Miki isn't lying about her age. Look at any source of information...including competition videos that usually mention the skater's age when they come on the ice, or her ISU bio.

Last year there was an article about how Miki and Nobunari would be celebating their coming of age in January 2007, and 20 is age for that, but in fact the article said that all the young people turning 20 at any time during 2007 were supposed to celebrate on that day. It's still 2007, and Miki's 20th birthday is today.

IMO, Miki was actually trying to look older than her age last year. She was wearing heavy makeup to make herself look more mature--there was a huge difference between on-ice and off-ice pictures.

...and hope that all is well for you.
I thank you for your gentleness. :)
Please think that I'm with this forum even when I can't come and write.
I hope everyone including Papa Leung is having a good thrill with this season's figure skating scene.
(BTW you get a real tight thrill when you're a Miki fan, you know... I'd say it's a physical thrill one can never get used to.)
