As always, I really appreciate and wish I had your ability to pick apart and analyze music. Usually I just swoon and faint

when it comes to Sho's programs. I agree though about his arms. People are so focused on their jumps right now, that there is a lack of attention to upper body details. In particular, lack of proper upper body tension seems prevalent right now. Kenji 's choreo has woven everything together in a stunning way and really "gets" how to make the best use of Shoma's upper body ability of total body movement.
I don't find the transition between the two musics jarring. I love how the change of tempo shows Sho's versatility and ability to "shift gears" quickly. It reminds me of Shoboe in that regard where the music changes quickly.
I have purchased the livestream for next Friday (Saturday 12 pm show in JPN) and was pleasantly surprised that it cost around $25 for the 2-1/2 hour show. I'm really looking forward to it! Hope my stream works ok!
