She is an independent lady now, not a doll.
"I want to do what I need to do."
"I go to Morozov."
Shizuka had not shown her will like that before. This is the graduate examination from "Doll".
Last month, she left Tatiana Tarasova who rose up many gold medalists including Alexei Yagudin. They had come together for 3 seasons.
Shizuka wanted to be coached by Nikoli Morozov also. Because he is young enough to coach her on the ice.
But Tarasova didn't admit her to be coached by another one.
Shizuka & Tarasova couldn't agree on their method of instruction also.
Shizuka can't speak English fluently. But she tried to call & write letters many times for the harmonious dissolution of teacher-student relationship. And she left Tarasova for Morozov.
"By her will"
She couldn't do that way 2 years ago. Just before the 2004 World Championships, Japanese Federation made her to leave Richard Callahan for Tarasova. Japanese Federation should have done all procedure. They said to her "You don't care anything." But they neglected connection to Callahan. She got to know that it made him very mad. So this time, she said to Japanese Federation "I would like to do all procedure. Don't touch my matter."
She said, "I was not brave enough to disobey the plan of the Federation before. But I am brave now."
