Rinka Watanabe JPN
SP: Seven Nation Army, choreo by Kana Muramoto
FP: Piano Concerto No. 3 / No. 2 (Rachmaninoff), choreo by Lori Nichol

Rinka/Kana, Rinka/Lori - I'm sat!

Someone who was at the camp wrote that Rinka's Seven Nation Army is a cover with female vocals (could be the same that Marin used). I got excited about nothing. Nooo. Rinka, why? Why not use the original one which is the best by far? Rinka definitely has a vibe and enough energy that could pull Jack White rather than a soft, cutesy pop cover.

I heard it's this one below, featuring Haley Reinhart by Postmodern Jukebox, so it's likely the same one as what Marin used before.
I understand you like the original, but I don't hate this, either, and I wouldn't be surprised if Kana suggested it or if she had it on her playlist to pick from. Or rather, I would be more surprised if Rinka knew the original instead. Is it soft and cutesy for you?

from the part where it isn't paywalled

ショートの方は新しい自分というか、新しいニュアンス、テイストのものを、村元哉中さんだったり、林（祐輔）先生に選んでいただいて、この曲になりました​

For the short program, I wanted something that would reveal a new side of myself—a fresh nuance or style—so I had Kana Muramoto and Coach Yusuke Hayashi help me select the music, and we ended up with this piece.​

I don't like it, I love Marin but I hated this cover while she skated to it. I don't like neither the vocals nor the arrangement. It is kind of neutered of the rebellious energy of the original. I wish some girls had the guts to choose the rough rock version and I thought Rinka may be the one. Just my opinion, if you like it, good for you

I don't know, but the original reminds many of us of soccer a bit too much, even if it wasn't their intention. Do young people have any chance to listen to the alternative rock or even old rock revivals nowadays? Either way, I'm afraid young skaters don't really try to find music themselves but often ask for suggestions from choreographers or coaches. (And quite often those who pick one themselves end up picking a warhorse.)

I wouldn't mind a Roxanne... if it were The Police. And not some watered down symphonic cover either. Give me the real deal.

rockers are more than you think and they all listen to old glories because the modern offer is...lacking (sadly)

true, but there's no really anything disctinctive in the last two decades. there're good projects (like Greta Van Fleet) but the vast majority or it's vintage inspired or sloppy

Don't worry, Deniz Tarim (TUR)'s name catches me out all the time too. Before I came across her a few years ago, I had only ever known "Deniz" to be a boy's name. But, during the 2025 Gordion Cup, curiosity finally got the better of me. And here is what I found:

Post in thread '2025 Gordion Cup | Oct 23-25'

Oct 23, 2025

Since we are now at a Warm-Up, here is what Wikipedia says about the name "Deniz":

Deniz is a unisex Turkish given name meaning "sea". It is used for both women and men. Deniz is the 63rd most popular name among males and the 69th most popular name among females. It is the most popular unisex name in Turkey.

Originally, Deniz was a masculine name. In a Turkish legend (Oğuz Kağan epic), the oldest Turkish ruler (Khan) Oğuz had six sons. They were Ay-Han (moon Khan), Gök-Han (sky Khan), Deniz-Han (sea Khan), Yıldız-Han (star Khan), Gün-Han (sun Khan) and Dağ-Han (mountain Khan)....​

I'm so glad I went investigating, because that was very interesting!
