Я болею за японцев!
Мао нашла в себе силы сделать заявление, а я все не могу найти у себя, чтобы его опубликовать. Не знаю, может если бы я не махала ей флагом и не обнималась с этой девочкой в реале, не изображала ей носом, как мне понравились её духи и она не искала бы вместе со мной знакомые английские слова... Может было бы не так больно за неё. А так... Так совсем по другому.
Dear persons who have rooted and supported me
Dear members of skating community
Dear members of the press
I would like to apologize for causing so much worries, and also for pulling out of a competition immediately prior to actual start of skating.
At first, when I received the news at Quebec, part of me wanted to return immediately, and another part of me was wondering "Is it alright to withdraw at such inopportune timing?" I was torn, but I soon realized that I made the right decision.
All during the flight back, many things passed through my mind. Mostly, I was praying, believing that my mother would be waiting for me.
However, when I arrived at Narita Airport in Tokyo, I received a mail from my father which said "Your mother could not pull through." I could not stop crying. Even then I held on to a slim hope and rushed back to the hospital in Nagoya. I called to my mother many times, "It's Mao, I'm back." However, my mother who was sleeping peacefully never opened her eyes.
I am proud of my mother who fought the disease for so long and so hard. There is also a part of me who is relieved that she is now beyond her suffering.
For past six month, her condition was such that every time I left Nagoya, I had to contend with the fact that this may be the last time to see her. I may be still in disbelief, but for some reason, now I sense that she is looking after me and close to me than ever before.
There is simply not enough words of gratitude that Mai and I could express to thank our mother for all her love which has been showered on us.
To honor her, I would like to keep a promise I made to her and to my family. I promised to strive the best I can to achieve my dream. I think this would satisfy her wishes. Therefore, I will continue to train intensely, just like before.
It would be highly appreciated if you would continue to cheer and support my endeavor.

В короткой подыхала со смеху, и тут - то же самое! Специально внимание обратила... Все фигуристы, как фигуристы. Вышли разминаться и вышли. За бортами тренеры с салфеточками и чехлами (максимум). Юзуру пришёл навеки поселиться! Пол -борта барахла! И тренер с полными руками. Салфеточки, полотенечко, кофтынька, бутылочка с водичкой, медвежонок, какой-то зелёный зверь (свежеподаренный видимо), чехлы... Всё это переодически хватается, потом не глядя бросается... Тренер, с непробиваемой заточкой перемещается вдоль борта и всё это барахло молча собирает в одну кучу... При чем тренеры прочих фигуристов отошли в сторонку, шоб не мешать и сочувственно за Нанами наблюдают... Деточка - разминается! 
(это Мишину).
