The Junior Grand Prix is just around the corner! With the main season coming in so soon, I think it'd be fun to list the new programs that we like so far. Here are some helping questions: Which program stood out to you the first time you saw it? Which program do you think will make your list of favourites by the end of the season?
Here is my list:
Kaori Sakamoto's "Amelie"

I liked this one the moment I saw it (other than the awkward moment at 1:59). The soundtrack of the movie is beautiful, and it's not often that you see a skater using it. This program is like a breath of fresh air to me, and I think it has the potential to be a showstopper program.
Soyoun Park's "Black Swan"
https://youtu.be/GMM4GgPVI4s
Alina Zagitova and Kaetlyn Osmond aren't the only ones using this music! (btw I'm excited to see both of their versions too.) Despite being a big fan of Soyoun, I haven't really liked a lot of her programs. But this one really stood out for me from the moment I saw it. She was an elegant swan in the 2013-14 season, so it's exciting to see her as a swan again in this upcoming Olympic season.
Satoko Miyahara's "Memoirs of a Geisha"

Apparently there was a performance where her jumps were better than in the one above, but I can't find it . Anyways, I think this is a stunning program, with some interesting moves, particularly in the step sequence. Though the program already looks great, I think it will grow into an even better program as the season goes forward.
