YES, she should replace the spiral at the end of the program to a long Ina Bauer!

I do miss the Ina Bauer and spread eagles, too, although the spiral at the end as part of a step sequence was special. Maybe the Ina and spread eagles are in the short. This is a terriific program. I already know I will enjoy watching this many times over the coming season.

Love both of her programs. Doesn't hurt that I've had that nocturne on my "Please Skate To This" list for Mirai for years and years now.

I just LOVE this nocturne. It suits her so well. I'm not too into vocals, but I know her FS will grow on me. Great beginning to the season.

Her FS music, "Winner takes it all" by Abba sounds meaningful...am I the only thinking the choice of music recalls the U.S team selection for Sochi? I'm not against the song choice and choreography, but the program is more like an exhibition program that reflects her life.

no, the song applies to everything for me. The winner takes it all... in figure skating.

From Unseen Skater...
She did alright in the SP but didn't skate the FS. I think I heard talk that her programs may not be completed yet.

To clarify:
Mirai did compete her FS at Skate Detroit in the qualifying round.
My understanding is that she elected not to compete her FS in the final round, although she did qualify for it.
In Sarah Rasher's recap of Skate Detroit, she has comments about Mirai's programs.
Video of Mirai's FS (uploaded to Sarah's YT channel) is embedded in the blog.
As is true for lots of skaters, Mirai's programs are "works in progress" at this early stage of the season.

Just received my October copy of International Figure Skating magazine, and there's a nice article on Mirai in there entitled "A Fighting Spirit". It talks about Worlds, working with Tom Z, what it's like to train in Colorado, and working with Jeffrey Buttle and David Wilson on her new programs. Nice photo of her too which I think is from her Worlds SP.
"I wanted to work with David and Jeff. So I decided to take a leap of faith and make an investment this year". Buttle choreographed her short program to Chopin's Nocturne in C-Sharp Minor. "Jeff worked with David when he was a younger skater and I could see his influence on Jeff's skating. But at the same time, it was very different. I loved working with David. Overall I really love both programs and I hope that I can do them justice as the season goes on."
Wilson was thrilled when Nagasu finally asked him to do a program for her. "I have really enjoyed her never-give-up attitude the past few years. I really admire her tenacity. In this day and age of the newest, next sensation, I have always had a soft spot for the more mature skater who still wants to go out there and go for it."
She then goes on to say that she has her sights set on the 2018 Olympics but has no firm plans beyond that. She will wait and see how she is feeling physically. But for now "I am as much in love with skating as I have ever been and as I get older it continues to be an important part of my life. I am so grateful to my parents for introducing me to something I really enjoy."

Wishing Mirai the best at this weekend's Lombardia Trophy - she is the only entrant from the US. Although she is skating against Wakaba and Kanako from team Japan, I think she can easily make the podium.

Yes! :gclap:Really hope she starts the season on a positive note! She can do it! Go Mirai!
well it wasn't a perfect skate but it WAS arguably the best start to a season she's ever had.
here's the skate with sound for those who missed it

She seemed happy with the score and standings when all was said and done and this is definitely a great place for her to build from!! She looks ready for this season.

I love the SP, like a sophisticated program from early 2000s.
