help?

There are not a lot of articles on Shizuka out there. I mean, there are some four year old ones about the 2006 Olympics, but those usually tend to go, like, "Sasha Cohen and Irina Slutskaya both fell IN A STUNNING UPSET, and Shizuka Arakawa got gold..." which is not reeeeeally what I'm looking for. What I want: interviews, people! Articles which talk about her personal life to some extent! I don't doubt that there are these things out there -- even if Shizuka seems to be pretty private about her personal life -- it's just that they're all in Japanese. I am super entitled, and Google Translate makes my head hurt.

So, if you have anything of the sort, send those my way? I've been trawling ontd_skating and stuff, but yeah. Insufficient for my needs, people! I should probably have taken Japanese more seriously way back in secondary school, but um. D:

In return, have a video where Shizuka and Miki dress up in kimono and look stiff and awkward.

Miki is only 17 here! She looks terribly young and adorable.

I've been able to find next to nothing about Shizuka, so I'm interested in this project too!

All I have is this slightly rubbish interview from Absolute Skating http://www.absoluteskating.com/interviews/2009arakava-asada.html

Oh, awesome, thank you! Besides the ones willowbell has, here are some useful things I've found.

Yay for Shizuka sharing!
