Rinka's new FP no idea about music, but we can guess This probably means that she keeps El Tango de Roxanne SP. She managed to land 3a3t with good goe today (student competition)! No way I will believe it was rotated, but good job! Still the best she can expect next season is one (1) challenger and maybe irrelevant Universiade. =D

If by season you mean GP series, then until GP assignments meeting and announcement. We never know when exactly it will be, but probably second half of June.

so pretty

I start to find these "We don't have another Mao/Yuna/whoever" sentiments beyond ridiculous. Is Mai's career not dramatic enough? Was Satoko's career really so short? (in fact, it was longer than Yuna's - 9 senior seasons) Isn't Kaori world champion? Is Wakaba really so forgetable? Don't we have a lot of European ladies doing very well recently, like Loena or Eva-Lotta? Have anyone tried to find interviews with them? Or are Russian ladies the only ones worth following and celebrating? Especially when some of the examples Brian gave really aren't THAT spectacular. Sumners - 4 seasons in seniors, 1 WC gold, 1 Olympic silver. Retired right after Olympics, when she was 20. Fleming - 5 seasons in seniors, 1 bronze and 3 gold WC, 1 Olympic gold. Retired right after Olympics, when she was 20. Hamill - 5 seasons in seniors, 2 silver and 1 gold WC, 1 Olympic gold. Retired right after Olympics, when she was 20. Hello? Kaori is supposed to be worse next to this? Besides, of course there aren't one or two dominating figures anymore like it was decade or so ago. The ladies field is too deep for this. Now one misstep too much means that someone else will take your place. And it's good! What other sport complains that they have too many athletes?

Kazuki Tomono new program(s) choreo by Misha Ge https://nonno.hpplus.jp/article/85443/05/ He wants fast-tempo SP.

Sorry for late reply, but: Moa in France. And Ayumi Takanami remains in TCC. And Fukase/Zhang in Gadbois.

I think it were just Japanese media blowing it out of proportion, because hype about 4a is ENORMOUS since JNats 2020. Iirc Yomiuri first called it "first certified 4a". Or maybe it was nikkan? Whatever. "First certified 4a" is clicking and selling well.
