30 years since the fall of Berlin wall, since the fall of communism in my own country. The song is iconic. I am curious how will translate in a competition program with all necessary restrictions. (such a pity that he doesn't use "Go west" from Pet Shop Boys as well :cool:).

Interesting choices, both musically and choreographically. Though I love the programs she and Tom Dickson created together, I'm really excited to see someone of Satoko's artistic caliber take on Benoit's choreography.

ETA: Here's Egyptian Disco and Tabla and Percussion Solo on YouTube. I'll be interested to see her tackle something so heavy on the percussion.

Not sure how I feel about the free choice, but I'm curious, what is it specifically about it that you don't like?

It's just not the direction I would like her to go in artistically. It'll probably be a very poignant and dramatic free with a vague and secondary attempt at storytelling, like her Madame Butterfly free was. Which will probably be very good but also I fear a bit too nondescript in the upcoming ladies field.

I loved her choice of tango last year, it felt like she was really trying to transcribe a different dance vocabulary onto the ice, challenging herself with choreo that wouldn't be a natural fit to her general loveliness, a program that was clearly enriched by off-ice training and research. In short; a lot of things I enjoy in Ice Dance and miss in the singles discipline, where skaters' often so-so SS means they are entirely engrossed by the quality and quantity of their movement — usually to the detriment of putting actual thought into said movement. See the trend of jam-packed by-the-numbers Eteri-esque programs.

Hopefully she proves me wrong, but I would definitely have rather not seen a movie soundtrack from her.
 
Belly dance would be so interesting to see from Satoko! Schindler’s List is too safe of a choice for her though. Was hoping for something more interesting at this point in her career.
 
Satoko could get more than decent points for these programs if she sells them. Very interested to see what she does with them. But it's true I'm not a fan of the main theme for Schindler's list either, it's been used too many times. But good for Satoko to think out of the box with the SP.
I'm less than thrilled about Jason's choice though, I think he'd thrive better on livelier music than that.

Agree with opinions about the free... but maybe for different reasons
IMO her free last season was good, but I found mixing Piazzola and Vivaldi strange, did not like the music cuts, but choreo was very nice.
I feel the same about this years free, possibly I won't enjoy the music, but Satoko can sure make it work.
 
Well it does look like at least some of the Japanese women are Bringing It with very interesting music choices so far.

:agree:

the sp is quite original for satoko, i'm sure she can deliver a beautiful performance. so many schindler's list this year, it's not even some kind of anniversary, but if some competition is on january 21th it would be on point
