Funny, Rika's performance actually reminded me of Mao's first Nocturne that she did as a full-time senior... not much that choreographically stands out in the program...
That program had choreographic highlights (twizzles to the music in that lovely crossfoot position, with her arm unfurling ever upwards, for instance), and the interpretation was better in general. I can name nothing that stands out in Rika's.
Also important to keep in mind that Mao did this Clair de Lune program in her 4th senior GP season as opposed to Rika in her first.
Especially keeping that in mind we can see how the PCS is inflated. It's not to bash Rika, though, just the judging,
