Well...Evidently she is NOT. She is a Princess, not a professional skater.The problem is that I compared her with my poor performances in these kind of disciplines. I wouldn't even know how to stand in a skate without falling on my back in a shameful way!

Well, I can skate around a rink without falling, but of course she's much better than me.

But just because Kako is a princess doesn't mean that she's incapable of reaching the top level. I mean Zara is Queen Elizabeth's granddaughter and she's a world champion herself. Still, the Japanese field is really deep right now, they took Gold and silver at worlds this year in the ladies...

Of course. The fact she is a Princess doesn't make her not able to skate as a champion. But evidently, nor the opposite. Skating or not skating is a personal gift people have or not have. In any case, Princess Kako is not a great skater, but she could reach the top if she fights for it. Me..Oh well; that's another story.

Awww! A year! Already a year! It seemed yesterday that the little Prince Hisahito was born. He is really cute. I love the pic where he is seen with his two elder sisters.

Oh what a beautiful little boy. His smile really lights up a room doesn't it? He's going to be such a heartbreaker, when he gets older.

He's a cute. Imagine how spoil he is but he looks so happy. And it's so nice to see such a happy child. This proves how loved he is.

What a happy little boy! His smile just lights up the room. How old are his sisters now, they look to be a great deal older.

Hisahito is so cute. Mako seems older than her age, maybe because of her outfit. Hope to see them more often.

They are very pictures of happiness. I love the pictures of your selection as well as the picture of the cuddly prince reading a book surrounded by his family. Princess Kiko, always brilliant, had a special brilliance on Prince Hisahito's first birthday. Her blue bag was graceful and I wish to have the same one, too.

Unfortunately the link to the video seems to have already been dead. The Yomiuri.co.jp makes videos available too ephemerally.

Yes. The girls are very grown up. The family seems very happy of being together. The little Prince is very cute, and the Princesses beatiful and bright. At least this is what their faces and eyes saids!

Maybe she needs to find someone to be in a relationship with. lol
