I'm pretty excited that Rinka is using music from Avatar: The Way of Water.

A bit of an update since I now know the songs:

Rinka Watanabe
SP: Music from Avatar: The Way of Water: Nothing is Lost (You Give Me Strength) by The Weeknd, Happiness is Simple by Simon Franglen, choreo. by Kenji Miyamoto

A season without Piazzolla and the world stops spinning.

I like Olafur Arnalds... that's about it..

A season without Piazzolla and the world stops spinning.

Don't forget the 4 seasons... if the world stopped spinning, we would no longer have seasons...

so for your convenience and safety in this world Thank me later.

I just watched Kaori's new free skate and I simply don't like it much. I love Kaori, no question she's my favourite female skater, but she should stop working with Marie-France. The program looks rather random and boring and doesn't bring out what's special about her. I didn't appreciate Benoit's work enough before.

I was hoping that Kaori would make a different choice and now she's back with a program that doesn't do justice to her abilities. I know a lot of people don't like Benoit, but he knew how to bring out the best of Kaoris skills. She really is my favorite skater and it hurts …

On a positive note I just watched Hana Yoshida's Koo Koo Fun and I love it!

1) awesome choice... so much fun

2) marie-france will have a blast just as much as we will if not more

3) will team KOKO be nominated for the WTF costume awards this year again... with this choice, perhaps

I hope Celine gets to see Mai skate to this. With all her health problems, she could use a smile.

Cool. Of course, super new.. so I won't comment the actual skating... and of course the costumes could evolve too because at this point, they may make the WTF costume awards two years in a row. Thanks for sharing.. it's fun!

Very cool! Well done Kaitlyn Weaver. The dress though looks like a borrow from Kana Muramoto from 2018.

The costumes are my favorite thing about this program for the time being. I dislike the use of "True" by Spandau Ballet here. Love the song, but not here, doesn't fit and has nothing to do with Ghostbusters franchise (IIRC) nor any of the soundtracks, so many other songs from the actual movie could be put in the slow section.

Thoroughly enjoyed the joy in this programme! Fresh with a fantastic spread eagle into some great choreo moments!

I like hers... I don't think it works as well for him.

I agree about True - it seems to break the character.

And Mai is such a beautiful skater that I'm sure Celine will be happy with her interpretation.

labgoat - thanks for posting. This is one of the programs I've been curious about, especially after all the 80s posts we've had and because, well, I'm an 80s gal

I like Team KoKo, but...well maybe the program will grow on me. Also I agree with Ic3Rabbit, that "True" just doesn't work with "Ghostbusters." I understand the need for a different tempo and enjoy some variety in a program, but I feel like there should be some connection between/blending of the different songs.
