insipid music again

 

[GGFan]

Did not realize Sota had such a great spread eagle. Nice.

 

[skim1001]

You know what Sota I'll take it. Now will the 4pt lead be enough padding

 

[mermaidfestavol3]

Those scoring boxes have been diabolical this week with the crosses.

Every time the StSq comes up, I worry we have another Satoko Miyahara invalidated step sequence situation...

 

[Ichatdelune]

@elektra blue You held up your side of the bargain so did I

This truly is the best program Sota's ever had

 

[EdgeCall]

What a pity. What a wonderful performance except the one flawed moment. Still

 

[elektra blue]

oh Sota, my beautiful cactus emperor of Japan i could live and die on the spread eagle sequence...(you can tell who my favourite japanese skater is right? )

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Yay, Sota!!! By far the program I enjoyed most up till now.

 

[museksk8r]

Sota! It was going so well until that fall on the 4toe. Bless these Japanese skaters! They have to survive a very deep domestic world championship to advance to the international one.

 

[YuBluByMe]

Yamamoto always leaves me cold and this was no exception. He has no musicality and the music, especially the second half, is much too big for him. The program’s also very empty. The SP is better for hiding all of that.

 

[Jeanie19]

Sota. Great blue shirt. Really good program and skate.

 

[Ares]

This rather won't be enough for a medal for Sota. And sadly I have to say that I dislike the music for his FS, it seems like a highly generic OST, almost as if composed by AI.

 

[Warwick360]

Every time the StSq comes up, I worry we have another Satoko Miyahara invalidated step sequence situation...

when was that? I want to check it out.

 

[yelyoh]

Sota on Sunday suits me. Ah but for the final quad slip. Still going to medal with a bronze. I so want him on the World Team! Not. No medal.

 

[yuumagical]

Sota may look like a blueberry soda in his costume, but he performs like a fine wine...

Also, the second half of his music is the opening theme to the video game Civilization 6, a game I've played many hours of! I do think the music is a little big for him, but it sure was a surprise for me to see two of my interests colliding! :O

 

[NanaPat]

JC Penney had a signature fashion line called Continuous Fringe back in the '70s and I still have several garments from their collection locked up in my secure blouse cabinet.

They may come back into fashion, and you can fish them out. I have resurrected forgotten clothes from my secure under-bed storage.

 

[readernick]

Sota is usually a hard watch for me because he usually has the most empty programs and zero performance. But, this program is progress.

Now for my baby, Shun! Shun go go go!

 

[Skatingcat]

Cha is going to medal?

 

[Vemvane]

Wow, Sota! I am pretending the second quad toe doesn't exist. The 4T+3T was gorgeous, and his spread eagle in his choreo sequence was a thing of beauty. The way he got close to the boards, though, he was really making sure he covered as much of the ice surface as possible. I spent the second half going "This is Christopher Tin's Sogno di Volare, right? Right?" and hurried off to check as soon as the skate was over. That was a beautiful skate, even if he's dropped a place.

 

[YuBluByMe]

Come on Sato! Let’s go!
