Aero had puppies the night of the LP around midnight. Mao was asked if she was thinking about Aero while performing her FS: "Maybe a little bit. I thought that, since Aero is doing her best, so should I. "
About 3Axel:
Shizuka thought Mao would land it the second she took off.
Mao :"I two-footed it, but it was my best try this season."
About 3F-3T:
Mao: I lacked speed.
Shizuka: Isn't this the first time you tried this combo?
Mao: I used to do it when I was a junior skater, but it's been a while.
Middle of the program:
Mao: I started to relax after the 3axel and 3F-3T, which required a lot of focus.
Shizuka: I thought Mao would be worried about the first two jumping passes, but she would be relaxed after that.
About 3F-3L:
Shizuka: That was gorgeous.
Mao: It made me wonder why I couldn't land it in the SP.
Shizuka: Wasn't this the best one you did this season?
Mao: Yes.
About SLSS:
Mao: I was getting tired here.
Shuzo: You really focused on the SLSS this season. You were trying to express with your entire body.
Mao: I wish I could skate much more powerfully.
Shizuka: Compared to last year, your skating is so much more powerful.
About Mao's reaction after her LP performance:
Shuzo: Was it because you were happy?
Mao: Yes, I was happy, but also relieved and tired.
Shuzo (to Shizuka): I guess the competition is tiring.
Shizuka: Because it requires so much focus and concentration.
Shuzo (to Shizuka): And I was impressed how Mao was able to refocus after the SP.
Shizuka: Exactly. When you come in with a lot of confidence as Mao seemed to have done, and then you falter in the SP, you tend to lose confidence for the LP as well. And yet, Mao was very aggressive in her LP performace -- this is quite amazing.
So, here we go, the second part:
04:55 - Mao finishes her program.
(And here is starting quite an untranslatable stuff. TAT calls Mao "molodets" and "umnitsa", which is the way parents in Russia often call their children when they achieve something great. )
TAT: Molodets! Just umnitsa!! (And you have to hear the intonation with which TAT says this. )
The man: Skating like this... one can win...
5:15
The man: Emotions from the beginning and to the end... Mao Asada has won over all circumstances that bothered her during the whole season.
TAT: She has given her all!.. has given her all... Has proved herself that she can... But there is a problem with the SP. Just with the first cascade. But here she has shown that there is no such a thing (a problem). Simply to put that cascade not on the first place (in the program), and that's it.
05:46
The man: What an emotional "outburst"...
TAT: Yes, and that is very right... Real, wonderful... (As I understand here she is talking (with a very caring voice) about Mao, while seeing her crying and smiling at the same time. )
The man (interrupts): Look, the fans have run, run off their seats... to congratulate her.
TAT: I am very glad for them... for Rafic, and for her... She is a marvelous girl! Just a MARVELOUS!! (06:01 - you have to hear it.) She can do very much... but one should go through the suffering... through the suffering... you can't achieve anything just out of nothing. She is the real star, she is the hardworking person... (06:15 - the most touching moment of the whole commentary, as for me.)
She will achieve everything!
06:41 - During the replays.
TAT: This is how they (the italians) shoot - voila, and cut the legs off.
The man: These are the italian TV surgeons.
TAT: *laughing*
06:52 - During the replay of the spins.
TAT: Ah, what a delight! What a "molodets"! Something (she) has underrotated, but this doesn't matter, she has tried... during the second part of the program to do the 3-3 cascade, she has tried today to do the cascade with toeloop... Toeloop isn't her best jump, she was missing it often the last year - when she was doing axel with toeloop... But this is the real skating!
06:52 - During the replay of the spins.
TAT: Ah, what a delight! What a "molodets"! Something (she) has underrotated, but this doesn't matter, she has tried... during the second part of the program to do the 3-3 cascade, she has tried today to do the cascade with toeloop... Toeloop isn't her best jump, she was missing it often the last year - when she was doing axel with toeloop... But this is the real skating!
07:19
The man: "Underrotated" - do you mean the jumps or maybe the combined spins?..
TAT: No, I... *interrupts herself while seeing Mao crying, smiling and waving her hand* Sweet, sweet, so nice... so marvelous baby girl!
07:46
TAT: And a very good program. Lorie Nicole has changed it...
Then, the man begins to count the elements, while TAT adds that she (TAT) "can't to ride off there and to change the program (probably she means her SP)". The man says about the wrong edge deduction "-1" and TAT replies that "and OK, let it be -1, not a big deal!" Then they have a short comments on one of Mao's spins, and that's it.

I hope she can recovery and make a comeback for FS tommorow.
But silver is not that bad.
