Andrew you have bonus karma points for your use now after that scoring

What in God's name is this music?

Straight from the playlist the FBI used to get David Koresh and his cult to flee their compound.

 

[cailuj365]

Lol, Adam is winning this. I'm calling it now.

 

[4everchan]

Kazuki is one of the best pure performers on this circuit right now, but the jumps have always been inconsistent for him and that hip injury can't be helping. He has so much talent, so I really hope he can heal up and finally have a strong season.

i think Kazuki just stole Sota's imperial crown

 

[Arigato]

Nothing personal, but that program blows.

 

[elektra blue]

sure but Cavaradossi has his own aria.... so technically, the skaters could use that music... when male skaters do sheherazade, they always pick the same bits... and they are the sensual and story telling sounding parts associated with her not with the slave nor the sultan

the music skaters use is mostly from the pas de deux, so the slave also has is own music

 

[YuBluByMe]

Andrew also got ridiculously low PCS in the SP. He was 10th in PCS when he should have been second! I thought his was the second best program - only after Selevko’s who was messier.

 

[Ichatdelune]

... What the hell did you think you were going to get Ichat this is early season Kazuki

Recovered somewhat in the second half

And this is why he is my favorite Japanese man, he is this much of a showman and I am a total sucker for it... Kazuki just... manage to get assigned to 4CC please I need to see your SP live

 

[Ares]

I loved Kazuki's step sequence. Shame about two falls on quads and other mistakes

 

[lariko]

We will find out in about 30 minutes... in the meantime, his peformance was not so good in the second half and he lost points there.

It's not like Shimada shone in any part of his performance, but I guess. Not happy with this panel.

 

[museksk8r]

The only explanation I can think of for Torgashev’s marks is that the judges want to see more reliable, consistent skating from him. Forever he has been known as a train wreck competitor and it will take some time and a history of strong performances from him to erase that perception. Unfortunately, that’s how judging works in this sport. It also really hurts him that he has a lower technical base value compared to the other men in this event.

Current status: crying into her Kazuki banner towel.

 

[Warwick360]

how many music cuts have we gotten in this program so far ? I am confused

Atleast not jarring like Chock/Bates program.

I actually like this program out of all the guys tonight. Shame about the jumps though.

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Well Kazuki recovered well in the 2nd half
The last 3A was
And he never gives up on a performance

Kazuki that shirt is bad luck...and not flattering on you
Get a new one

 

[Karoltyna]

so far...

 

[labgoat]

how many music cuts have we gotten in this program so far ? I am confused

surprising for a Lori Nichol program

 

[GGFan]

I have not been paying attention to ISU happenings: did they consciously bring down PCS? I'm pleasantly surprised to see them lower here.
