Mao is a cover girl!


Mao Asada on the cover of "Fujin Koron"

From the site

Her outfit is a brand named "Barbie". The photographer is Kishin Shinoyama, very famous.

Mao Asada talks about her life outside Japan. She says "There, you can have the ice all for yourself." It was impossible in Japan, where she had to skate with the public, or with little children taking lessons.

She does 5 sets of training. 1 set is 45 minutes. 2 in the morning, lunch time and 3 in the afternoon. Asked whether she gets homesick, "No, because Mai is with me."

The sisters are taking English lessons and while she can understand what's being said, she's not able to speak.

They are staying in a hotel when in Canada, and a condominium in the US (correct me if it was the opposite). They sometimes cook dinner. Mai's "Risotto was excellent. And tomato soup, that was good." She had to think hard when asked what her best dish was. The answer was pancake.

She phones her parents everyday. Then she goes "I just said I never get homesick but no, I miss Aero (her dog). I miss her so much. She's a sister to me."

Lastly, she says her goal is to qualify for Tokyo Worlds.
