Here is a low quality vid of the whole program.

I think it has a ways to go before it's ready, -lacks of bit of substance at the moment.
But I love the Choreo sequence and I think it's GOING to be great.

Thank you for the link. It was a pleasant surprise after I have just watched the two "Onmyouji" movies to go to this thread and see that a video of his entire LP at DOI was already up.

Yes, I also think the LP is still a work in progress. Right now, I feel it doesn't have the level of build up or upswell in emotional and musical intensity which his past LPs with warhorse music have. This is something Yuzuru and his team are apparently already aware of going by his statement that they will still add a fast tempo part and crescendo to the program. What impressed me most in this performance was the quad sal (good control because he could have easily sailed into the audience as there were no boards ;)) and his emotional commitment. Looking forward to seeing him perform this program when it is competition ready. I think it can be magical and transport us to another world.
 
That 4S was beautiful, when he lands it it just looks so effortless :love: , he may not be the most consistent on that jump (hoping it will change this season) but he makes it look the easiest (which is something that sets the best skaters apart).
It's clear that the program is still in the making (I'm guessing he would have all August and September to work on it), but it looks very promising already. The final stsq looks great (I still can't get over how much I love the hydroblade) and I think the off timing had too do with the music cuts and the falls, specially the 3A. But I think that, when the time comes, he's going to have it ready :yes:
Though it's safe to assume it's going to be heavily backloaded for the extra 10%, I wonder if he'll decide on having the exact same layout he did last year (only changing the 3Lz+2T for a 4T+2T). Though that layout certainly maximizes his TES, it would be nice to see him experiment changing the order of the jumps in the 2nd half, even if they're the same, although the most important thing there is that they match the music.

I think adding 3rd quad is already huge change that affects all jumps ;) Putting 2x 3A3 combos at the end of program after 3 quads is crazy enough, that I don't want to see more experiments than 3rd quad there
 
I actually like this quiet part after 1st spin, and obviously it's needed to catch breath before 3rd quad as it's going to be after fast step sequence. Music builds nice momentum for big element

But the step sequence will be fast? Where will they put it if not before the 3rd quad? I feel scared. 3rd quad after the steps...

I guess it will be
4S
4T
3F
spin
steps
??? maybe 2nd spin here to take a little more rest or 2 spins at the end like in poto
4T2T
3A3T
3A-1-3S
3Lo
3Lz
choreo
spin

I would have thought the fast step sequence would be after all the big jumps are done and the one before the 3rd quad would be easier and kind of used as breathing space after the spins. :confused2:

No time for that. Step sequence must be after the 3flip as he wants to put 4T2T in the latter half of his program.

Maybe it's as Handomi has suggested.
4S - 4T - 3flip - first combination spin - step sequence (fast tempo) - second combination spin - 4T2T - the rest of the jumps - choreo sequence- final spin

But putting a spin right before the 3rd quad seems to be more risky and dangerous IMO.

What do you think? Is it wise putting the second combination spin right before the 3rd quad? As you can see from the video there's no second combination spin. Or maybe it's like this:

4S - 4T - 3flip - first combination spin - step sequence (fast tempo) 4T2T (slower music cut) - the rest of the jumps - second combination spin - choreo sequence (fast tempo again)- final spin

This program is really promising !
It brings a totally different atmosphere. It's suprising at the beginning but I feel he can truly do something memorable. Love the choreo sequence.
I can't wait to see it in competition. Here he's limited by the little ice and looks so frustrated. I think this program can really bring out all his qualities. Go Yuzu ! :cheer:

Thank you so much for the link.

My thought is, the good thing is he really has improved his arm movement a lot, but he still needs to work on his neck line and shoulder:think:I like the music between 4T2T and 3A3T, but I think the choreo at that part doesn't really express the music. I'm not worried about his jumps, because it's quite obvious that due to the size of the rink he doesn't have enough speed entering the jumps. And, wow his skating quality and deep edges:love:This program will be my favourite long program of his (my current fav is RJ2). Shea Lynn did a much better job than I expected:love:

He visited elderly people living close to Fukushima in temporary cabins (did I choose the word correctly?). He said after hearing them saying that they really want to come back but there's nothing left there after tsunami hit he had realised the meaning of place where you were born, how it makes you feel safe and comfortable.
