Akiko, along with Caro, is one of the most respectful female skaters who are older than 27 out there. I wish she all the best.

Can't believe that her career is over. And we cannot look forward to her great programs, beautiful dresses and infectious smile anymore. I hope that whatever she decides to do now in life, she will be happy!

Does this say that Akiko wrote a book?

I wonder if it'll be translated into English.

Good luck to Akiko! I will miss her lovely skating.

I wish her all the best, I will also miss her skating. she has given some amazing performances and programs over the years I will always rewatch. Hope this is the beginning for a splendid professional skating career and that we will continue to see her in many shows.

:yes: Akiko says that she wants to perform in shows as a pro skater, and also wants to become a choreographer, just like Kenji Miyamoto now does.

Speaking of Akko and Kenji, they both were on TV this weekend! :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsPM7Gj6ir0

Yay! She's always a joy to watch (thanks for the link, deedee!) and I have a feeling she'll make a good choreographer. Maybe she could do choreo for Kanako? That would be nice

That's awesome, that means we will continue to see many new programs of akiko :yay: and maybe in the kiss & cry with some young skaters.

Apparently Pasquale Camerlengo has nominated Akiko to participate in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. She has 24 hrs to complete the challenge. Since the video has been posted about 13 hrs ago, we just have to wait for a few more hours to see if she will accept the challenge. :agree:

 

[smasma]

Oh well, she did it! She did the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.

I think Akiko has the best taste in clothes and costumes of all team Japan, girl is always elegant and tasteful

I advise everyone to read ohlovesosweet's translation of Akiko's Kiss & Cry articled for Nikkan Gendai!
Here's the first part: http://ohlovesosweet.tumblr.com/post/97907931356/suzuki-akikos-skating-careers-kiss-cry-part-1

I actually teared up while reading these! you guys might as well

 

[altuixde]

Thanks for the link, sunny_stars! I'm glad I was able to read this, and I look forward to reading part 10 and beyond. There was so much more going on for Akiko than we saw and heard on TV and read about in articles during the Olympics.

First time for her to collaborate with him, I'm curious how it looks like. Fingers crossed will be soon uploaded somewhere after the show.

I'm excited to see it! Arguably two of my most favourite skaters ever

Watching her recent nationals FS and 2014 worlds SP, I realized that she's been greatly underscored in PCS. Loved her since 2010 olympics but those two programs I mentioned were amazing!!! I always hate it when I see Yulia receive higher PCS than Akiko. Yulia's artistry is great but both Akiko and Yuna have the best artistry I've ever seen. For worlds, Yulia deserved mid-33s for PCS while Akiko deserved at least 35. Then for the FS Yulia deserved 67 while Akiko deserved 73. She always puts in a little story in her programs which make them more interesting and unique. BTW I love her costumes and the music of her phantom of the opera.

Thanks for giving me joy while watching figure skating, Akiko Suzuki. You started very early than other skaters and you grew a lot. I hope Akiko has a good rest from competitive skating along with Yuna, Carolina, and Mao.

Akiko-chan working with kids. Am I the only one who think that she looks infinitely more beautiful in real life? Her hairdo (and possible makeup) when she competed didn't seem to do her justice.
