Talking about Hanyu’s programs, I felt disappointed too at first, especially for his SP. I wanted to see a new one. I think Parisian walkway is a very well-designed program but that music is not my favorite.
However I know it can be right as a strategy of his team, once the judges scored a program highly, that program is quite likely to be scored well if they carried it over in another season. As a fan, I don’t want to see reused programs, but I feel it’s understandable that skaters don’t make a risky choice this season. Olympic season is really important to all the skaters, if not retiring this season. They need to be strategic if they want to win. I feel it’s frustrating that sometimes strategies to win produce less inspiring programs, though:no:.
I also think his SP is a safe choice but I think the LP doesn’t mean an easy choice. It must be compared to his two years ago LP, his team has to show the difference between his two R&J programs, and people will watch how he got matured in that two years. It doesn’t necessarily work well if the theme is the same. I’m a bit concerned on these points:think:. Both Yuzuru and his team must have considered about these things when they chose another R&J music, so I think it was a choice which required them some courage. (Maybe I think like this because I’m a big fan of Hanyu,though.)
It would be the best if they find music which suit him well, and shows expression he had never shown before, and is highly scored by the judges. But I think it can be difficult to find music which certainly meets all of these conditionshwell:.
