we have almost made a campaign for a skater to skate to a Hisaishi's soundtrack, and the time has come! I mean I think Kozu choice alone has made my whole season.
I like Kozuka so much that I don't want him to lose his medal hope this season just for your personal enjoyment.
His LP music cut contains four sections: A (slow), B (dance-like, with staccato), C (Baroque-like, with polyphony and counterpoint), and A' (slow). The bouncy B section exposed his dancing ability; the busy C section buried his soft and smooth skating. After he was overwhelmed by B and C, he lost his feel for A' (the fourth section) as well. It was a disintegrated skate (or program). Lack of mileage? New boots? Yes, but I think it was more than that. In my view, B and C sections simply go against his grains and fail to highlight his strength. And the program is simply bad, not artistically constructed. There is no cure for it.
Though he had a clean LP in last Worlds, he can still "up his game in a big way" with that Lizst concerto program, for instance, adding more difficult transitions and jump entrances, paying more attention to body lines, adding another quad.....
