Akiko has been a long time favorite of mine! Hope she continues her ascend and her progress!
Akiko Suzuki On The Move

Watched her LP yesterday.
She is a pleasant skater with good techniques and presentation on the ice.
WIsh her success in National and get Olympic spot.
Too bad there's so many excellent skater in Japan.
3 slots seems not enough for Japan, I am sure if you send all Yukari, Miki ,Mao Fumie and Akiko, they will get higher ranking than three countires representative combined together.

She has a lot of flair and musicality!
Her PCS should be really up there!
She needs to improve on the spins though

Quote from Icenetwork review about Akiko's COC performance:
"The dynamic skater showed strong steps and fast, well-centered spins en route to a 117.14-point free skate. She finished with 176.66 points, topping her previous personal best by 10 points, and went home with her first senior Grand Prix medal, a gold."

Akiko achieves high levels on the spins, the leg position makes it really difficult but it's not as aesthetically pleasing to watch.

I'm really happy she scored her 1st major grand prix title! Hopefully she continues her climb to the top!
Who knows she may pull a Shizuka heheheh

Her free skate at the Japan Nationals last year was sensational! It was a total sacrilege that she did not medal or go to the worlds
It was an amazing 7 triple loaded program!

Do you have the protocols for this event anywhere? I can't imagine Suguri was better.

Sadly, I don't have the protocols for the event
I totally love her "Dark Eyes" program
For me, she is one of the most musical and dancer like skaters
She loves to perform
You can feel her passion oozing throughout her performances!
She is really something! With a few adjustments who knows she maybe making her move at the Olympics or the worlds!
I think the PCS is a reflection that she is not yet known to the skating judges, but given time, she should be scoring really high PCS's because of her exquisite musicality and performing skills

christinaskater, you wouldn't know how much I've always liked your passionate posts on Akiko
and I don't think that I'm the only one.I agree. I really enjoyed her. She skates with confidence - I don't feel like she is going to fall over or freak out at any moment. Good for her.

Yes! Her attention to detail, body type, and style all remind me of Sasha. Or were you referring to edging and speed?

I think both ladies have the ability to express the music from head to toe, you have the feeling that every tone of the music reaches their fingertips. That's really rare. I can't think of other ladies among the current crop who have that. And despite the fact that Akiko's posture seems slightly off and her flexibility is not great, they both have great body tension and body awareness.

Looks like she was screwed over. The downgrade penalty of death.
Suguri fell in the SP and had a mistake on her Flip in the LP.
Suzuki skated clean in both parts of the competition and skated a more difficult LP.
Considering that Suguri's programs last year weren't very good, she definitely didn't deserve to be held up artistically.
Suzuki was robbed of a chance to go to Worlds.

I love Akiko!
She does has some semblances with Sasha and even Michelle Kwan when it comes to interpretation of music!
Akiko has that rare gift wherein her whole body emotes with the music. There is super attention and nitpicking in the execution of the choreography! There is so much emotion, soul and energy even to the tip of her fingers. In short she is truly an amazing dancer and her body exquisitely responds to the music. I really love her! She is one of the best I've seen and I really love!
I really wish her the best and that skating judges would eventually adore her exuberance and graceful interpretation and passion for her skating!
She should really give it a go! She is really super loved now in Japan and people I believe really wish her the best!
She's fought anorexia, criticisms on her physical appearance etc. and she has come out as a better person , a phenomenal skater and a great inspiration to many!
GO! GO! GO ! GO !!!! AKIKO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
