“I think I've really grown up this year, my style has changed, and there are things that been going well. But, when I go back home, I'm going to work on fixing those under-rotations and add more transitions into my programs. I want to give a performance that gets a standing ovation like the one I got here at NHK Trophy. (So this is your comeback year isn't it? :)) My comeback year! It definitely is my COMEBACK YEAR!”
—Mirai Nagasu, regarding US Nationals in her post-FS interview with Pigeon Post at NHK Trophy
