And from the latest Sportiva article, translated on Shoma Uno's tumblr fanblog:

In the ladies’ discipline, Miyahara Satoko, who had a disappointing showing at the World Championships in March, will be skating to a free skate of “Star Wars/The Planets: Jupiter”. It’s something unlike anything she has skated to before. She’s opening up into a new world. Her short program is a waltz. “Editing the music together was difficult, but it’s such a bright and lively program, I can’t stop smiling when I skate to it,” she says as she continues to aim towards the top.

“The short program layout is to go for a triple-triple in the second half of the program. I have better jumps than I did last year so hopefully that translates to competition. Skating bigger is something to work on which means speed is needed to put more power and intensity into a program. That’s especially important in the short program where speed stands out more. It’s an area to work on to take it to the next level.”
 
I doubt Stephane speaks Japanese :confused2:

I'm sure that sounded like a crazy question. I know that Stephane speaks 4 languages, but I wasn't sure which ones. Found out he speaks French, Portuguese, German, and English. :drama: And apparently he's learning Italian. So no Japanese yet! :biggrin:
 
Satoko skated her new SP in a light blue sparkly dress. Her layout is 2A / 3Lz-3T 3F. People say she also has a collab program with Florent Amodio.

is that for me? thank you! :thank: :biggrin:
and thanks for all the updates, cant wait to see her new program!! i thought (and hoped) she would skate her new LP cause it sounds more interesting than her SP , and collab with Florent? i am very curious now considering she is shy and Florent is Florent :laugh:

Giving his origins, it's no surprise he speaks these French, German and Portuguese, and that he learned English for obvious reason. But he can already speak Italian. Or at least, he used to a few years back. :)

I also wonder what collab she has done with Florent?

He actually speaks Italian, not just learning it. And he knows a few words both in Japanese and Russian :).


Edit: I see that Plumededragon already wrote about Stepahne's knowledge of Italian.

I'm in awe of him. I just love him and have really enjoyed reading about his work this year with Team Japan.

Well, Stephane has said that he actually learned German german first, most likely thanks to summer camps in Oberstdorf. I guess Grutter spoke (and still speaks) to him in French. And he also told that his mother has never spoken to him in Portuguese at home - he gets the chance to speak it only when he visits his grandmother in Portugal or when she visited them in Switzerland which is/was a couple of times a year in total.

Me too for sure :).


Thank you again, ioanna.

And no picture of her light blue dress :palmf:
Yes, a pity. But I hope we will get to see Satoko's new SP in a couple of days.

thank you!!! not a fan of this kind of music but i love her movement, esp during stsq (seems very multidirectional to my untrained eye:laugh: ), chsq seemed a bit emptier comparing to her previous LPs, i hope they will revise it, i loveee that she is playing with placements of the elements every year, i dont think she used same layout including spins and sequences for like 4 years :think: i really hope she will do 3lz2t (or 3lz2lo) in 1st half and 3lz3t2lo or 2a3t2lo in 2nd half, and is it just me or her I spin looks a lot better than before?
 
Oh, she used one of my favourite parts of Star Wars in the second half, not as recognizable as most Star Wars music. I really liked her step sequence. She's trying to show more power there. Very nice for this time of year.

just wish she changed her hair style... it's too severe and flat to her head again...
 
I really like her FP. I like the way the music was mixed. While it's not 100% ready, it's definitely worth a "so far, so good". I think her spiral is of better quality too.
However I'm not sure about the dress. I mean, overall, it's a really nice costume and change from the "tad too childish" one in last season FP, but the tissue on her shoulders is too loose... I'm not sure if I saw well, but it looked like she got it on her face briefly at some point.
I hope it will be fixed.
 
I liked the music mix too. And, it's not nearly as "space" ish as I was expecting from what she had been saying.

I am not sure about that dress either. It's nice, but does not quite look quite right for the program. Hard to say why. Maybe it's the quality of the twitter I was looking at.
