Truth is: Now i'm curious about Seimei 2 costume more than Chopin 3

Just saw this pic from SP (hope it's appropriate posting this here). IMO has more charisma and wow factor than the whole program...both programs actually.

I hope Satoko could put on her best this season. Her SP is so stunning, just want to watch it over and over.

Thanks for sharing!! Sui/Han SP is total disappointment for me, indeed but it funny thing is 80 point with first skate

Yeah! Are there any assignments for Sui/Han?

I think there will be warhorse for Yuzuru's LP. Just hope it's not another R&J or...Turandot

Outside of costume (Mai should do something with her style asap) I like Mai's tango much more than Marin's. Even though it was too raw and unusual for her. But still, have rewatched It several times.

Oh, dear I was expecting such warhorses from everyone but S/H. What a disappointment.

Swan Lake isn't S/H program, it's for other Chinese team. They will skate with Hallelujah, another warhorse though. Or...is Swan Lake also their LP??

Super excited especially about Sui/Han program's. Warhorses from them could break my faith in humanity

Aww, Mao and Masquerade Walz! I never liked her competitive costume, this one is more beautiful. Stunning show opening indeed.

IMHO, So far best music choices are from Rika Kihira. And if she could include stable 3A it also will be most exiting performances of the season.

What about Einaudi's "Primavera", that famous The İntouchables OST. It captures all the "Olympic warhorse" points, definitely will be loved by everyone and would be great for Yuzuru. It's a long shot though. Unknowning is killing

İ don't think this user really mean it. It could be any music and no one could prove it hadn't be mentioned in endless GS archives eventually Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had mentioned Rhapsody in Blue over there which is classic and rhythmic/interesting at the mean time. I like this idea more and more, even though it's warhorse, and there was bronze medalist Gaby last season skating to it. Also I'm still have some dreams about Dance Macabre...but let's see.

Marin's FOI program is so damn good to be just an ex. I wish it would be her SP. She's amazing! Hope she'll get the slot.

After all, when all of us were waiting results of DW and SLB battle for Yuzuru's choreo and thinking only JB has guarantees...now Jeff the one who is kinda out of door. Irony But seriously, what if Jeff also will be included in challenge for LP choreo? Or EX maybe...just thinking.

They were doing it every season in a row, repeating SP. Not big deal. The only fault of poor Ballade now is it already has been used twice. I'm just sure the were planning to use LGC at Olymics if it would work nearly well this season. But it didn't. So Ballade seems only and good choice.

I like Ballade No4 too, just like must of Chopin pieces. But different Chopin music and even different cuts from Ballade No1 demanding new choreography and becoming new program eventually. In that point he could do SP with any other music either. And could bring back Seimei. Just like Shoma did (I don't think his new SP will be too different from last one. But still it's considering as a new one. So minimal choreo work with new SP and none with LP). If the goal of 3xBallade is that he doesn't want to waste his time with new choreo then it's going to be the same program, with little changes maybe. Otherwise it doesn't make sense to me. Anyways, either with new SP or very probable 3xBallade seems its going to be classical, and I'm pleased with it

Chopin Ballade is winning OGM - best thing that could happened next season! Pity that he won't be in this costume at the podium

For me the biggest question right now: will we get new EX at least??

Yes it's difficult to accept this news but after thinking it doesn't seem to me as a worse idea. Seimei 2.0 is better than some warhorse like R&J. With Chopin it's harder because it's third year of it but come on its Chopin Ballade!

To be fair to Max he didn't do any statement and emphasized that these are just rumors.

It would be coolest thing to do btw I use it as a precious memory but our ava going to be trend for the next season

In that case there is a question: why is he bringing back Seimei if there still will be work with new choreography? Is there lack of music pieces in the world? But bringing back both of programs with nearly same choreo have common sense! It's disappointing but understandable.

What about his favorite music piece, according to Brian
