She's got good taste.
I hope she does well. She's certainly the most musical out of all the Japanese ladies, sans Nakano and Asada.

I agree with everything you said here. Her Tango Exhibition program last year was simply exhilarating! I always wondered why she didn't turn it into her competitive program. IMO she also has one of the best steps out of all the ladies. I really wish she could make it to the Olympics because she has fought so long and so hard for the comeback and I personally like her a lot more than Nakano.I actually think that she has a fair chance. Her musicality is outstanding, superior to any lady out there right now, including Kim. She has got rhythm, beautiful expressive arm movements. Suguri seemed off performance-wise during the last season, though she landed her jumps. Nakano is known for URs and generally only attempts 5 Triples each program.
If other skaters chose West Side Story, I would probably groan - but the music suits Akiko perfectly and she will make it great.
Thanks for the info!
Alissa revealed in Skating she will be keeping Dr. Z for her free and skating to Zorro for the short. I am elated with that choice. Her Don Quizote exhibiton was the best program she ever did and Zorro is very similar.
Johnny Weir - LP concept is Fallen Angel, no word on the exact music.
dying swan, love/war, fallen angel....all these cliché dramatic stories :frown2:
im getting tired.
p.s. all these music choices that are pubished and set are still so...hackneyed. i need something new! more variety! as beautiful as they portray it, i dont want another rendition of a piazzolla, a performance on rachmaninoff piano piece...bleh
wait for the secret programs to get reveledI'm just surprised that Carmen hasn't been snapped up already...
I am quite sure Carmen will come too. Then we have Phantom of the Opera, West Side Story, Shehezerade...But I do agree with your latter comment about the mundane music choices. I'm just surprised that Carmen hasn't been snapped up already...

Nothing wrong with Carmen if some skater could actually do something different with it.
Hope the Wilson/Weir team will get us away from the usual and obvious Carmen routines.
Your missing the point, Janefan. I believe you want interpreted opera stories to be the same in skating - and nothing original Is that correct? Well then you have plenty of it in figure skating smidgeons of opera stories. You should be fine with Carmen in figure skating - nothing original is the way to go.How about Johnny as a tragic Carmen Or perhaps Yuna as the Toreador
Yes, skating needs such fresh new interpretations of Carmen like polar bears need more global warming

detract from a program.
