Happy for Kaori's placement at top 6, that's remarkable as 1st year senior skater!
A side note: Kaori still has a final B-competition of Coupe du Printemps in March! (Although it depends on if she still wants to participate in the competition...)

Oh, no. Just watched CdP. It looked like she was almost crying. Poor Kaori. Anyway, I'm sad that this is the last time we've seen these beautiful programs. I wish she would keep them another season, perhaps tweak the choreography for Amelie a bit and return stronger than ever. I want to see her at Worlds next season. Ah, I hope the Ladies get 3 spots back (and even then it's not enough...)

Like Russia, 3 is just not sufficient for the Japanese ladies.... but I'm sure if there are 3 spots next season that Kaori will be one of the girls who takes them.
I'd like her to keep going along the vein of her Amelie program too, I think even if she switches the music that style really suits her. It's distinctive, and in a field where many of the girls do the same kind of music it helps her stand out. I hope her programs next season keep taking advantage of her quirky personality and do even more to show off her deep edges and lovely skating skills.
It's too bad her season ended this way, but I think she's done amazingly well overall this past year and surpassed pretty much everyone's initial expectations of her first senior season. Can't wait to see her do even better next year!

A year ago, I don't think anyone considered her as even a contender for the Olympic team and assumed it would be Wakaba and Mai/Satoko
And look how far Kaori has come!! a GP champion and 6th at the Olympics is nothing to scoff it, nor is second at Japanese Nationals
If there are three spots at Worlds next year, and there should be, I am waiting for Kaori to fill one of them Kaori, Wakaba, and Mai/Satoko please

I know she's said she's struggled with it in the past, but I think she and Wakaba have the best shot at a successful 3A with the size of their 2As. Kaori especially just has sublime edge jumps, so I have no doubt she'll be able to figure it out somehow. I hope she also manages to get her flutz in line over the summer -- those two things would really put her in the conversation for world medals next year!
