-The Last Emperor soundtrack: Yuzu or Boyang
For a change, I want to see a skater try music from the Spaghetti Western genre. Something from Ennio Morricone for example. Would it work? Don't know, but I sure would love to see someone (preferably someone who is good) try it.
That's a good one!Something from Yoko Kanno for Yuzuru
That's a good one!
Out of the sung ones, this one's my favorite(R.I.P. Origa). It would be amazing to see someone skating to that but I guess that's not very likely...

I also wanted Wakababy to skate to Wonder Women, actually this cello theme song from WW sound track could be edited into the program as well, it always empowers me when I listen to it while skating. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tI2ASp0f7GU
very interesting choice for Nathan, I would not have imagined it, maybe you also discovered some hidden qualities of Nathan's skating (e.g. sensitivity, delicacy, vulnerability, I was actually wanna add feminity as well ) besides the obvious masculinity. If use this piece, I will ONLY trust David Wilson to do the music editing and choreo. but I kinda understand your hope for Nathan.
for Karen, she actually skated to the sound track of the greatest showman already in the SOI already. it was very good.
Kingsman soundtrack for Boyang! I want him in a suit-costume playing an secret agent!whole post
Yes of course! No Wonder Woman should exist without the electric cello part! Goosebumps!
Oh I didn't know about Karen! Great choice... Need to check it out!
Follow last year's great programs, I would to challenge Nathan something harder, to deliver majesty, grandiosity with sensitivity, strength, yet convey solitude and stoicism the music prescribed. This piece should be sophisticated and not so obvious enough to offer great strides towards the PCS chase. Something that can be akin to Patrick's Elegy or Hanyu's Chopin - a transitional program that push him into the high PCS territory as an artistic skater, exceed Shoma even if possible.
The Choreography should able to showcase his balletic carriage, greater control of form, stillness/holding positions, arms, torso, head, shoulders. Really highlight the Skating skills, centered core, carriage. The piece offers contrasting mostly lows and increbly high sweeping lushness of the strings that is open to interpretation, Tthink of grand cathedral next to vast opening stunning natural landscaping -GoT type - countryside, vallies, mountains, canyons), there should be epic quality to it all. The music provide a nice canvass that is abstract enough for Nathen and his team to add depth, subtlety to develop his 'style'. This can be something similar to Yuna's Lark Ascending (also by Vaugh Williams), but more masculine and more meditative and pensive procession approach.
Oh well, one can dream... Curious what Lori and Wilsons's version may contrast.
