Whatever happen to Midori Ito (late 1980s and early 1990's Japanese Figure Skater)?

The reason why I'm asking this is because Shizuka Arakawa a current Olympic Champion (also Japanese as well), also won Worlds (2004), 3rd Japanese Lady to do so, 2nd one was Yuka Sato, and the 1st one was Midori Ito. Just turned professional this past May. Midori could have won 1992 Olympics, but she didn't fair well with it, she won the silver medal beyond Kristi Yamaguchi (Japanese American) whom won the even and Nancy Kerrigan got the bronze at those games. Well, Midori lit the Olympic Caldon, spl at 1998 Nagano Games in Japan and Shizuka represted Japan, but didn't fair well, she ended up in 13th place.

Additional Details

Did Midori do any commenting at this past Olympics when Shizuka won the 1st gold medal in Figure Skating for Japan in any of the events? If not what did Midori instead of it?
