I guess we all have our own picture created in mind but for me a Geisha more than "formalistic" is discreet but very elegant. Their movements are almost like a dance. I think Yulia can be a wonderful Geisha. :luv17: I hope she will do it, maybe for the Olympics.

I do agree that Yulia would be able to do a fantastic program to oriental music, but considering where the next Olympics are being held...a geisha themed program would not be the best idea...
...if she is at the next Olympics I mean. Otherwise, I'd love to see one any other time!

Oh dear. Why what's wrong with the Geisha in Korea? Because Geisha is giapponese?

Well, it just seems like a sensitive subject to touch upon. I don't know how well that sort of program would be received by the host country. They may take it to be offensive/insensitive. I'm also willing to bet that no matter which Russian skaters go to the next Olympic, they will probably not be all that liked. Might be best not to exacerbate that dislike. Maybe I'm just grasping at straws here, but it's an intense crowd...and boy can they hold a grudge. You only have to look at what happened to Adelina...

You have a point there. 
Well, I'll be happy if she chooses to do a Geisha next season. She has the perfect coach for that kind of program.

I'm curious - has it something to do with the South Korean "comfort women" in World War II? Japan apologized only recently. Very late.I do agree that Yulia would be able to do a fantastic program to oriental music, but considering where the next Olympics are being held...a geisha themed program would not be the best idea...

Then Yulia should do a Geisha program after the next Olympics, the season before could also be very risky.

Well it seems the relation between Japan and Korea on the theme of the "comfort women" are getting warmer. article
I don't think doing a geisha program should be a problem for Yulia as long as she consults Japanese choreographers and is culturally sensitive about it. Still doing a Japanese themed program at the olympics in Korea isn't possibly the best idea.

The comfort women survivors themselves, though, aren't happy with the recent agreement and apology.
I don't necessarily see a problem with a Japanese themed program at the Olympics, but doing a geisha one could definitely be seen as insensitive. I'm all for her doing one next season, though. If it's something she loves I think it will only help increase her motivation to improve.

Do you know what the survivors' demands are?
As for what Koreans think of Yulia, I think it's safe to say that they have no grudges against her. Many people had her vs. Yuna at Sochi, but eventually she was not part of the controversial result and (technically) had nothing to do with Yuna's placement, so I think they don't hate her or anything.
But, even with the surprisingly pretty big audience at 4CC this year, figure skating is not as popular as people think. Everyone (yes EVERYONE) knows Yuna, from elders to kids, etc. But even with all that Yuna had done for Korean figure skating during her career, South Korea's interest for the sport has only grown a little bit. As soon as Yuna retired, many people in South Korea started to forget about figure skating. Even though the country FINALLY has skaters who have the content and remarkable level in the sport - So Youn Park and Da Bin Choi - So Youn has a big consistency problem, which sets many people off, while Da Bin is just not well-known yet. So the country is not seeing the success that Yuna had with their current skaters.
So the reason I said all of that (sorry for such a long paragraph!) is because it most likely means that South Korea knows little about other countries' skaters (since they need the spark of interest from their skaters). They knew Yulia because of Sochi, but they most likely do not know that she struggled a lot last season and is a bit different now from Sochi. However, I am not referring to the country as a whole. There are still some FS followers in South Korea.
Imagining that someone from Korea stumbles to a Yulia video of this season, I think they will most likely not be critical or insulting to her skating, at least if they find out why she's struggling and understand. Adelina would be a different story though, and don't even get me started on what they think of her...

Well, it sounds as if the ministry for foreign affairs made the agreement without talking to the victims first. No wonder they feel used again.
I think that if Yulia would do a Geisha program in the season before the Olympics and if she was being successful with it, the chances would be high that the media would show her doing that program as a preview to the olympic competiton, or write about her doing that program and that could turn the crowd in the arena against her. And that can't be good. It's only a possibility, but it's not the kind of risk I would want her to take.
