The cast of THE ICE has been announced today. But I am sure it's not the full cast. Some names will be likely added later. For now: Mao, Kozuka, Mura, Buttle, Javi, Wagner, Gold, Shibutanis:

It's so nice to see both Gracie & the Shibutanis get some summer show action 
arty:
Gracie particularly could benefit from more performance expriences.

What a great opportunity for Gracie! This will surely enable her to get some extra cash for choreography.
Is Gracie pretty well-regarded in Japan for her strong jumps?

D&W usually do The Ice...I was also surprised. I was surprised they didn't do WTT either. It looks like V&M and D&W are focussing on Olympics as of now

I'm pretty sure that this must be the case, especially due to D&W's absence in the WTT.
Looks like a great cast though! Out of interest, how much do skaters get paid for doing these types of shows?

If not, then she soon will be.
I'm glad that she's receiving the chance to improve her performance skills.And she's already getting choreo from Zoueva, which is certainly a step in the right direction. Being around skaters like Mao and Kanako without the pressure of competition should give her a better feel for how to really interpret the music.
ETA: Kovtun and Sotnikova are also on the list.

Glad to see that Mirai has been invited! Quite a cast. Are you going Let's Talk?
i don't know if the ICE is the best thing for Gracie. It's a big time commitment and it'll be a busy year for her; esp since she's never really done touring. Also happy that Mirai got invited, I hope she skates her FS because she always starts the season with strong SPs but unconfident FS.
I love the picture they chose for Narumi and Ryuichi. They're both cross-eyed and looking off into space

Many top skaters are doing shows over the summer -- it keeps fans satisfied in the off-season and gives the skaters a chance to perform without the pressure of competition. I personally feel that Gracie will learn a lot about expression and artistry from Mao Asada.
