YES YES YES. Shizuka being the elder sister of the Japanese skating scene, THAT IS ALL I HAVE EVER WANTED FROM LIFE! She doesn't talk to Kumakawa because she knows that it's not her thing, and it wouldn't be that effective coming from her -- but she cheers Daisuke up, telling him, "Kumakawa-san is just extremely stubborn and focussed, Daisuke. You musn't take his words to heart."

I want a Best of Daisuke DVD, oh man. :( Do you think Mao and Stephane put it together themselves??
