I hope this relationship lead to a greater enhancement for Mao.
Mao's SP(Lori) will be "Clair de Lune" which I really want Dai-chan to skate someday. I love to see Mao's now.

According to the different news source (Jijitsushin), the reason why Mao chose Tarasova is "She(Tarasova) makes a program only for me(Mao). That's a big reason." However, I think Mao meant Tarasova makes programs only for her among women skaters because Evan got one by Tarasova.

(correction)
Sorry I found another news. In it Mao cleary said "Tarasova made a program only for me among women. She is a person who has power."
I'm sorry I made you confused.

I figured this would happen when it was revealed that Tarasova was registered as a coach by the federation. I'm sure this will work out great for Mao.

The music for her long program (Masquerade Suite) is different from what she usually skates to. It's very powerful. Domnina and Shabalin used it for their free dance last season and it was awful. Their skating looked awkward and "clunky". I hope that doesn't happen with Mao.

Now that we know who Mao is with, I'm really curious to know who Dai will be working with. He's been pretty quiet about his skating lately....
