Hungarian Rhapsody and O. 
This one gets my vote - love the step sequence and how happy she was to skate clean. I think this is one of the first programs I saw Akiko skate and I became a fan. She makes a great Maria
I do like her POTO, too, she made that music bearable for me!

Akiko Suzuki is one of my favourite skaters of all-time! Tied with Michelle Kwan at the top. I just miss her so much. Any news on what she is doing currently? I hope she comes back. Age ain't nothing but a number.

She's choreographing now I believe and she's acting as a mentor to some skaters like Rika Hongo.
She's still skating in shows, too. She did Fantasy on Ice recently in Japan, they are on YT.

Here is her POTO from Japanese Nationals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTz2djlZTdc This was before the Phantom deluge and remains the best, IMO.

"West Side Story," as I mentioned earlier, is still my favorite. But wow, that performance of "Phantom" at Japanese Nationals is amazing! I truly brought tears to my eyes at the end of the performance. I don't care what anyone says...when you perform like that, even POTO isn't a warhorse!

For me, she is one of the greatest figure skaters ever. She may not have the consistency and mental resilience of Mao or Yu-na but she skates with her whole heart and her whole being.
Her artistry is one of the finest in the history of the sport. I have my Michelle Kwan throwback moments and my Akiko Suzuki throwback moments.
I am secretly wishing that she comes back for a final season. She is so mature, balletic and musical.

I would love it if she skates to "Carmina Burana" or "Nessun Dorma".

After "O", I felt that POTO was a mainstream choice rather than an artistic choice. Her POTO at Japanese Nationals is one of the greatest skates I've ever seen. Had she skated like that at the Olys or Worlds and had a perfect SP, she would've medalled. She is my champion and I am so honoured and blessed to have witnessed her beautiful skating and her inspiring career.

Love "Carmina Burana" Last skaters I remember nailing that one are Anissina/Peizerat, but I'm probably missing someone... Would love to see her skate to that.

O, Love Dance and Kill Bill. That hydroblade in Kill Bill was so cool!
That was fantastic! So fierce! Akiko just keeps getting better and better.

That was amazing!
Probably my favourite programme, although a very difficult decision, was West Side Story. Just beautifully worked to the music.
