After watching the opening of FOI, I thought she could perform wonderfully to the phantom of the opera. But Yukari already announced it as her SP music so probably she won't choose same music. Too bad...

Elgar and Greensleeves are fantastic choices.

If she skates to Arirang and wins the Olympics, that'll be even better.

I would LOVE to see Yu-na use Phantom for her LP. She could bring the drama that music needs and the vulnaarablity of the charchter Christinne.

Yuna could try Kitri from Don Quixote if Wilson can choreagraph perfect melange of her elegance and fierceness.

This is not one of my favorite performances of Aurelie Dupont, but she's still my favorite ballerina:love:

^ I agree. I don't find anything wrong with using a popular song or a song that's been used before, but I think it's weird if you're using the same song as your contemporaries.

Yes! Arirang! I fell in love with the idea after I saw this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBen5RmJL1g
It's soooo pretty, elegant, graceful, gentle, touching, moving and perfect for Yu-Na. I loved seeing the fierceness and intensity Yu-Na brought this season, but I also miss the willowy Yu-Na from Lark Ascending. Arirang is a good choice of music to bring back the softer Yu-Na.

I made this suggestion before but most people thought it would be too risky: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfWCEo1LYfE
It's unfamiliar and hard to relate to and I know it's a big risk to take especially during the Olympic season, but I think it would be so cool if she skated to traditional music from her homeland.

I did some more searching and found some other good music with the traditional instrument, the gayageum:

What do you guys think? Is it too risky, unfamiliar and/or weird?

OMG Arirang would be perfect for her! It's awesome! If she won the olympics with that as her FS music...:love:
