The fatigue fracture in her right shin, which was discovered after the Olympics, has already healed completely, but she has not yet regained full feeling in her jumps. "I will try to get back to what I have been able to do up to now. This season, I would like to get back to what I was doing last year, and surpass it. I want to change what I have been able to do up to now into something of good quality

I won't be able to make it to the summer tournaments. I hope to compete in the block tournaments in the fall. I want to win the All-Japan championship, and I want to practice with that level of determination.

New challenges were suggested by Coach Sonoko Nakano. She asked, "What do you think of Jason Brown's choreography?" I replied, "I think it's very nice." She then asked, "How about asking that choreographer to do it?" Shalso asked about Free. What do you think of the person who made Nathan's "Rocket Man"? She explored the possibilities.

SP is like dancing. The first half of FS is slower, so I think SP and FS are totally different in terms of showing. In FP I wants to express the image of surviving strongly. I want to change my image while showing my own characteristics.

[worlds] I will try my best to get revenge for four years ago, and to win again after the previous season.

Rohene is like a mollusk. If you try to imitate it, it will be extremely difficult and it will cause a lot of muscle pain. But if I could do this, it would be cool. I want to get closer to Rohene as much as possible

[FP] is Spanish and cool. I would like to emphasize strength and energy. I hope I can play the role of a cool woman. I was able to see Mao Asada's wonderful expression, so I hope the audience will have the same feeling as I had at that time.

David Wilson told me "I want to change my image. I'm sure Mai can do it." He said, "It's Spanish and cool, like flamenco. I want to emphasize the power and energy of the music."

[SP] The lyrics are a bit sad. I hope to study my facial expressions more than last year so that I can express the lyrics. I hope to further improve my expressive ability. In Free Skate, she will skate "Moonlight," continuing from last season. She smiled, "I want to improve my level so that people will see that I have changed from last year."

Last season I suffered from an injury on right ankle. I couldn't give a performance that I was satisfied with. This season, I will take care of the injury and do my best to finish every competition with a smile on my face.

Compared to the senior players, I still have a long way to go. There was a lot I could absorb. Everyone's skating is totally different, and their upper body movements are also totally different from mine. I think everything is something to learn.
[SP] It is a program where I can express the joy of having settled down after all the things, including Corona.

[FP] I will play Princess Leia from Star Wars. I hope to show my strong self.

In addition to her signature triple axel, she is eager to add a quadruple jump to her repertoire: "I don't know if it will be a toe loop or a salchow, but I would like to do it."

I have competitions overseas, so I will take each competition seriously. I will do my best from practice, so that I can compete with confidence,.

[SP] I haven't done many songs with strong movements or cool images, so I'm making this one in the hope that it will change the image of people watching me.

[FP] It is the complete opposite of SP, a song about lost love. I hope I can create the opposite [to SP] image of the song, with softness and strength.

I used to be in such a hurry even for the slightest mistake, that I gradually pushed myself in the wrong direction, but now, I am enjoying practice calmly. Now, I'm starting from the basics of all jumps. Even if I jump well, the stability is not good, so I need to fix it. I would like to start practicing quadruple soon.

[SP] I have changed it a bit for seniors, and since there was a rule change, I have changed spins, steps, too. Since I will skate to a grand tune, I hope I can express my signature flow of jumps, and from there, speeding up to the latter half to build up the excitement.

[FP] Scali chose the song, and when I listened to it, I felt that I wanted to skate to this song, so I decided to skate to it. The piece featured drums, electric guitars, and other instruments that changed the tone of the music significantly. Since the choreography was created with the changes in mind, I want to be able to express them.

Nakano's team has been practicing hard in the off-season as well, but I think it will lead to more success in the future. I have never played in a big game as a senior, so I want to gain that kind of experience this year.

I'm now mastering quadruple Lutz. My axis is getting better, and I'm almost ready to land it.
[SP] I've never done a Spanish-type program, so I thought I'd do it since it will be my last time in junior competitions.

I'm determined to give a consistent performance in all my competitions.
