Here's a bit of Mone Chiba's Gala program:

Mone Chiba has just won the Coupe du Printemps in Luxembourg! Congratulations!
Here's her Short Program:


I haven't found her Free Skate yet. Coupe du Printemps has a Gala!

There has been a news report lately about Mone Chiba:


Her morning schedule seems quite packed:

 

[DizzyFrenchie]

Happy birthday Mone! I hope this off-season is going well, and next season will be brillant! Congratulations for being in the special reinforcement group of Team Japan!

Mone Chiba is changing coach. She's going to Kinoshita with... Mie Hamada.
Of course Kinoshita group has more hours for high level skaters training than Ice RInk Sendai but...
I hope she will resist.

Ice Rink Sendai is to reduce their hours this Summer to spare on electricity bills, which is maybe a motive?
At the moment, she's in a Champéry summer camp in her new training rink, here's an opinionated Tweet (not from me, nor the answers):

Team Champéry did a camp at Kinoshita, Mone Chiba's new training rink.
There was a TV report with some little extracts, with Ghislain Briand among others, but I didn't understand much:

I hope that she will be ready, so early in the season, after changing her coaching environment.

I should have checked earlier... Mone Chiba skated her new Short Program, Les Yeux Noirs (The Black Eyes) at Dreams on Ice:

Mone Chiba is to participate in the Gensan Summer Cup:

I hope that we will get videos of her new programs!

 

[DizzyFrenchie]

Of course everybody knows this happy, moving moment of reunion in 2011, at reopened Ice Rink Sendai, between baby Mone (6) and her "elder brother" "baby" Yuzuru (16, but already Junior Grand Prix Final and Junior Worlds champion, and Four Continents vice-champion):


I have just "discovered" thanks to Twitter's new ordering of tweets, that Runrun8383 had made a fanart work of this moment, 7 years later:

Unfortunately, after a third place in the Short Program, Mone Chiba ended fourth at the Gensan Summer Cup, a fraction of a point behind Kaori Sakamoto.
