"Break time now. Fumie is texting while stretching. Johnny has finished 2
puddings. Not to be outdone, Bonaly has finished 2 puddings. Everyone looks happy eating pudding. How much pudding will everyone eat! [...] Johnny ate 3 puddings! Wow" ;)
"Lambiel has finished the
dorayaki! How many will Johnny eat today?"
"Plushenko got a standing ovation![...] Plushenko is on again! No one else could look so good in a red shirt.""Having a light meal before the performance. Johnny and Stephane eat facing each other."

Shizuka Arakawa wrote this. I'm guessing she refers to the awful red costumes)
"I had Johnny-Gaga-sama give me a good look at his make up. It's rather well done! He's getting better at it year by year. Today when I was doing my hair, Gaga-sama was next to me doing his make up and he had more make up tools than me by far. (laugh)"
"The sight of me frantically repairing Johnny-Gaga's costume, the zipper of which had just flown off, is being uploaded by his manager. It had just happened so I was in a hurry... (laugh) Really it was your job to fix it, Tara! (laugh)"

"Yesterday when I was getting my knee taken care of, Plushenko came to encourage me. Spasibo!" "Johnny's new Poker Face costume is, in a word, a sexy version of Evan's Scheherazade."
From a fan meeting:
"Today I'm completely surrounded by Zhenya fans."
"Johnny really was tired. Zhenya in a t-shirt w/ glasses on it. Lambi was stylish in gray. Tomas in a pink polo shirt."
"Stephane was the only one who was really feeling good. He was in such a good mood we got to see a lot of Stephane dancing."
"While dancing with the music, he exchanged looks with Plushy, as if to say, "Let's dance together!" but was ignored. Pouting Lambi was cute.""Each of them drew a name to take a picture with and it was amazing. First, the person Plushy drew was a little plump, and when she climbed on stage, Plushy picked her up and swung her around. After their photo, he forcibly hugged her tightly and pressed a greeting against both cheeks. He did it again and again!""Next the person Lambi drew was tall and beautiful! Their faces were glued together for their photo! And right after, he planted a kiss on her cheek! He did!! A real smack! Lambi...It's good he was so Lambi-esque."
"Next Johnny climbed onto the stage and gave a hug. For the photo he stood like a model in a very Johnny pose, demanding that the fan pose too, and laughed"
"Sorry if anyone is hoping for photos or video. They repeatedly asked people not to upload anything to the net or YouTube."
