Kim sisters got the same set of choreographers . I love Frida soundtrack and I'm interested what Kaitlyn did with it. Not obvious selection of tracks - I like it. FP was inspired by Kaori's and Yuma's performances .

They do love the tragedies. At least neither one kills the other this time.

 

[Seven Sisters]

They do love the tragedies. At least neither one kills the other this time.

The woman does still die in that, though, correct? So, seemingly right in their wheelhouse

It is described as "a devastating love story of desire and temptation. Manon follows the rise and heartbreaking fall of a young woman torn between true love and the temptation of endless riches." Eventually she chose love and ended up dying of exhaustion and starvation in her lover's arms at the Luisiana swamps. Couldn't be more Christina.

Side note: not a single waltz here ;(.
I was thinking a waltz theme rhythm dance means we'll see a lot of Strauss, Brahms, Chopin, Shostakovich, Tchaikovsky, Khachaturian. Not a single one so far. I guess in 2026 the most famous waltz composers are Lady Gaga, Prince, Bruno Mars, Queen and Billie Eilish.

I mean technically it has to fall into a waltz rhythm for it to count, yes?
