@badlilmonkeh

I updated the links, they should work now!

[eraserboy12345]

I can't download the mp3. The links simply direct me to the swoopshare website with the mp3 download no where in sight.

Oh my god !

What an impressive video it is!

It was so exquisite that I had goosebumps.

I can't wait for her to skate to this music.

Thank you for editing and uploading this video.

This was not the type of song I was hoping for Mao to choose... I actually always thought of this song as "the scary, bad guy song" when I was a kid! - NOT how I think of sweety pie Mao! BUT, I know Mao can do something great with it, and blow me away! Good luck Mao!

BTW, good montage! Thanks for the giving us a little preview of what her new program might be like! I really like how you gave her a little sparkle cloud the whole time!

Thumbs up if the movie Limitless brought you here.

This is a better cut of the music than the one Mao used. That said, I think the music was too heavy for her. There is a lightness to her skating that is brought out by the Chopin pieces she has used, as well as the Nutcracker LP that she skated to as a 15 year old.Perhaps she would have done better with the piano version of this piece.

The spin is from Mao's performance of "Nocturne" at Stars on Ice in Vancouver (2007). And yes, she does a cross-foot twizzle at 3:45 :)

@Hylogetic

Sadly no, it's a fan montage created by the fans after Mao's music was announced (but before she actually skated to it). Too bad, because I loce how the sound of the bell was incorporated into the music.

@zykitta

This dress is a fan creation, Mao has never actually worn it. It was created by Okami from the Ballerina on Ice forum and more of her creations can be found in the forum's gallery.

This was my favourite piano piece, now it's my favourite orchestral piece!

[spinto12]

the music is so overwhelmingly intense! i love it.

[Hylogetic]

is that the exact copy of her music?

[gingerclove]

Can someone tell me what program/performance she is doing at 1:25? That spin is beautiful. And what is that thing called that she does at 3:45? Is that a twizzle?
