Last Part:
Kazuki: Also, I was simply envious of Nathan Chen's "Caravan" (18-19 SP).
Sota: Oh, wow!
Taichiro: Cool!
Kazuki: Actually, I haven't done a short with that sort of beat. I'm sure it's difficult to control your steps with that kind of up-tempo jazz music, but I'd like to try "Caravan".
Taichiro: Everything becomes so Kazuki when Kazuki does it.
Sota: That's a compliment, isn't it?
Kazuki That's more than 30% dissing (laughs). Also, (Uno) Shoma-kun's short program ("Legends") in his first year of senior year (15-16).
Everyone: Ah! Yeah!
Kazuki: I love it, so I want to give it a try. When I think about it, there are so many.
Mitsuki: Although it's a totally different type, I'd like to do "Pagliacci" (12-13 FS).
Everyone: Aaah!
Kazuki: That's a refined piece.
Mitsuki: I think it was around 2012. I've watched that program many times too.
Sota: He did well at the Nationals.
Mitsuki: The one at the Nationals was good.
--It was in Sapporo, wasn't it?
Sota and Mitsuki: Yeah, yeah.
Taichiro: The free skate, the one where he went for the upset.
Mitsuki: Yes, yes! It was really good.
Kazuki: You guys know so much!
Sota: Why do you know so little? (laughs).
Taichiro: Even I could follow that one (laughs).
Kazuki: I don't know. I watch performances, but I don't know about the "something something" competition of the "something" year.
Sota: Your memories are surprisingly poor.
Kazuki: Yes, my memories are really bad.
Sota: A man who lives in the present moment!
Mitsuki: Cool!
Kazuki: I do watch great performances. But as to when and which one they did, ..... I don't quite remember. In fact, the person who is least interested in skating is me?
Taichiro: I'm next by a small margin.
Kazuki: I like skating, but when it comes to seeing competitions, I've never been that interested. I really love to watch the performances. I like to see who I'm competing against, or who I'm associated with. Also, lately I've been really into watching skaters from the generation before Takeshi (Honda) sensei.
Kota: Kurt Browning?
Kazuki Yes, yes!
Mitsuki: Kazuki, you've been watching him for a long time, haven't you?
Sota: I was with Kazuki at the training camp for Stars (On Ice) and The Ice, and he kept saying, "Hey, look at this!" He showed me the edge work of Kurt Browning's skating, and said, "That generation is amazing!"
Kazuki: I love Kurt Browning. That generation of skaters' edge work is awesome, and I've been watching them. I can watch videos from that era all the time. Kurt Browning is seriously incredible.
Mitsuki: Among all Kurt Browning's works, it's gotta be "Singing in the Rain" (1994) after all.
Sota: Oh, that's the one Mitsuki used too.
Kazuki: You can watch it forever. I really want you to watch it, because it sort of connected to the starting point of my skating, like the quick small steps. Hiraike sensei is a huge fan of Kurt Browning, and sensei coached me to do his steps. So, I feel, "Oh, so this is where I came from."

But you're right, he seems to be very close to Shoma, and also Koshiro Shimada (who trains with Shoma in Switzerland) and Sota Yamamoto.

and reach the podium!
