You're only saying that because you forgot Shizuka skated to that piece of music for two seasons.
You're right, I'm sorry I did not read your post carefully enough. I was only talking about her Olympic season.

Wow! Stunning. Thanks!
Maybe, maybe not. I think this would have been a great Olympic program. And I agree about the dress--gorgeous.

Yes, the same designer who designed all her costumes since 2012, from Vampire to Adios, including ex costumes.
Hear, hear! No doubt the song belongs to Arakawa, specially for an Olympic season competition program. (Think about what would happen if another lady skates to Gershwin piano concerto in F major for her Olympics -_-)
Yeah, it's the same designer. I have to wonder why she couldn't make Yuna's dress as gorgeous as this one for her Olympics in Sochi....
An even better angle of yuna's nessun dorma which features her speed nicely Me, too wish that her olympic dress would at least have showcased her arms more...

But Yuna is the Queen, isn't she? I'm sure she could have pulled it off. I don't think the song belongs to Arakawa. I associate it more with Shen and Zhao. Didn't they use it for the Olympics in 2002? And Yu Na was hardly the first to use the Gershwin concerto at the Olympics. Karen Magnusson used it way back in 1972 at Sapporo and Emily Hughes used it for her short program in 2006. Both of those pieces are warhorses that no one owns.
I wouldn't recommend anyone putting on a blue dress and skating to Gershwin in F anytime soon. Might not be a favorable comparison.

I actually got used to it by the time the Olympics came around. And I had less of a problem with it when I realized it looked like a dress when she wore when she was younger at a competition before Orser became her coach. In a way, I think it was her way of coming full circle with and a tribute to her original coaches.

of course no one owns certain pieces of music, but nevertheless they're associated with iconic programs by great skaters, and skaters that use those pieces of music risk being overshadowed by the possibly better program. How about this - what if in Pyeongchang, someone skated to Parisienne Walkways? Blues for Klook? A James Bond medley? They're pieces of music that will forever (or at least for a very long time) be associated with certain skaters.
Not saying that Yuna doing Nessun Dorma for her Olys free would've been disastrous, but people would still be thinking of Shizuka or Shen/Zhao while watching Yuna's, which might not have been the most advantageous.
Yeah the beginning is not Nessun Dorma, and Shizuka's program with the same music is listed as "Violin Fantasy on Puccini's Turandot by Vanessa Mae", although that had more parts.
So I guess it's a Turandot mix? But I'm not complaining, I like this version Yuna skated to with the live orchestra, very beautiful. I couldn't find it anywhere else online.
