Love how Kaori is skating for herself wanting to gauge what she can can complete is she can skate freely under pressure. This program works very well for that and builds nicely musically and emotionally for her. Kaori just makes me happy.

Je me ferais teindre en blonde
That was last year

I don't dig this program that much (not as touching as it should be, but then I'm a grouch) but what a skate, unless Nakai Ami bombs hard this will be a Japanese sweep

Kaori amazing

KAORI YOU ARE A THREE-TIME WORLD CHAMPION WHY ARE WE GETTING VS ON OUR SPINS

SP: 76.20 (2nd)
FS: 148.03 (1st)
TOT: 224.23 (1st)

Another great skate! That was Kaori doing Kaori things, the jumps look really solid and I like the program a lot. The music editing is done very well to blend all of the songs together into a cohesive piece. I love the end choreo sequence, although it was a little sloppy today, and I still think this program has a lot of room to grow while being a solid vehicle right now.

 

[CellarDweller]

Just wow!

 

[cathlen]

Ah, I simply love the way Kaori is skating

 

[fluffle]

Kaori has done it again!

 

[4everchan]

that was brilliant. Bravo Kaori. I was dubitative about your programs this year but they do look like O games programs.

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Clean Kaori in the beginning of the season?

 

[Paulipau]

Pure class from Kaori, she is not letting a newcomer beat her.
She fumbled the choreo sequence, but I think judges pretend they didn't see that.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

This dress is very pretty. The colour gradient reminds me of her 2018/19 SP dress (love that dress <3). Kaori did so well here, so proud of her

I really tried to keep my tears in today, just because I have make-up on already, but I definitely got emotional at the end.

 

[flanker]

Kaori was much better than in the SP where she was overscored a little, but now she did as good as she can.

 

[bartlebooth]

Wow, so many great skates in a row!

 

[Sabsi]

yes me too

 

[museksk8r]

Reliable Kaori again overcomes the pressure to rise up! It may not be my favorite program of her’s yet, but hopefully it grows on me throughout the season.

 

[Karoltyna]

Ehhhhh ehhhhh the loop ehhhhh why am I so incoherent?

 

[LazyFuzai]

You can give her all pearls in the world.Fully deserved.Incredible what she is doing and it's just start of the season.
Just all hail the queen.

 

[readernick]

That was incredible. The jumps looked hard in the SP but not here... the lutz was a flutz but they probably won't call her....Don't think anyone else should win after that
