Akiko's next programs?

[FlattFan]

What is the music? Sounds like from the days of Japan's great dominance, pride filled. It suited Midori, but Akiko? No, not so much

If someone can skate to Midori's music, I think it's Akiko. Imagine Akiko's step sequence to the drum beats.
Akiko has that "I so happy" look, which should go well with this.

All of her good programs have been fun and upbeat. I can't see her skating to Meditation de Thais (too sweet) or Danse Macabre (Yuna owned that one)

How about the soundtrack from Rent?

Akiko loves upbeat and dancy music so something like this? :

She could also be a great Giselle.

I just noticed that Akiko really must like musicals. For the last three years, she skated to Fiddler on the Roof, West Side Story, and Die Fliedermaus (which is essentially an Austrian musical).
Some Chopin is also nice for her.

So far I'd like to see her skate to Giselle out of the choices. She can tackle a lot of ballet music given her footwork abilities.

I just recently found this piece by a Japanese composer. I think it has a melancholy sound to it. Akiko would definitely pull it off because her skating is so light.

This is so lovely DS. Thanks for sharing. I hope Akiko finds some unique piece like this. Just beautiful. Tempo may be a little slow for her, but she can skate to any music-most musical lady on the scene, I think.

I agree, she can skate to anything.
