On the 17th, child actress Honda Miyu (8) performed at the pre-show for �Disney on Ice� at Yokohama Arena. She did a two and half minute routine to the tune of �Beauty and the Beast� that includes a double Salchow jump and a single axel. Honda has been skating since age four and practices five times a week even during drama filming.

Honda came to fame with last year�s big drama hit, NTV's �Kaseifu no Mita�. She has also various awards under her belt with skating competitions held in the Kansai area. With her experience, she put on a fun performance during the pre-show and the parents and children present were full of cheers and applause.

Honda commented, �I thought I would be a little nervous but I�m really happy.� When asked about participating in the Olympics, she responded, �I�m not sure if I would be able to do it, but I would like to win the gold medal�. She also added, "Next time, I would like to do a double axel jump."

We wish Honda lots of luck in her acting and skating career!
