I ended up liking both of her programs this season but not because of the music or the choreography so I am SO excited to see her with Rohene's choreography.

The signs on the side of the rink are Chicago area advertising. Is she really here?! I am intrigued!

Adding: She's here! IFS Magazine says they're working on a new short program.

Mathieu Caron posted with Kaori and Marie-France Dubreuil yesterday - wondering if Marie-France is choreographing one of Kaori's programs

Confirmed that Marie-France Dubreuil is choreographing her free. Sam Chouinard also seems to be involved

Kaori's interview with the Kobe press (in Japanese): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxbcWpBLyag&t=341s

She talked more about her work with Rohene (and also getting choreograph from Yuka Sato). And the up-coming summer competition for her will be Gen-san's summer trophy (go for the BEEF!! for the consecutive year~)

Her new SP

I like the opening of the SP, with the first spin coming before the first jump. Am eager to see this programme ready for competition. Thank you for sharing the video!

I am a bit disappointed in Kaori's Elastic Heart FS. I don't understand why skaters always use slow piano versions if they decide to go with a modern pop song with lyrics. I am glad that it changes to the original version shortly before the end, and I liked it better the more I watched, but I still believe it's a missed opportunity because the song itself is great and very fitting for Kaori.

I always admire a skater brave enough to try something totally new. So many skaters get stuck in their comfort zones year after year and never challenge themselves choreographically. Kaori is really reinventing herself in the SP, infinite kudos to her and Rohene.

Kaori got a promotion! We now have to call her Commander Kaori! (At least a Commander gets a good retirement. )
