But I agree it'd be a lot of pressure to have these two programs, both of them, again. GPF2015 would hang over his head every time he skated. There's a fine line between good pressure and bad pressure and I hope he knows where it is, for him. I thought he was speaking about the layout, not the program itself? I think right now the biggest arguments for Seimei 2.0, instead of some other warhorse, might be that enigmatic tweet and Ambesi's comment. What I consider the main argument against using it - 2nd peat aside - is what is also one of the strenghts of the program: it clearly requires to play a character. Yuzuru portrayed that character wonderfully in the past, but because the program is its character, I think it leaves "less space" for the kind of evolution and nuances we've seen for Chopin over more than two seasons already. So I believe actually Seimei 2.0 could put on Yuzu way more pressure than Chopin Ballade n°whatever.0, despite being both iconic programs. A different music cut would grant at least a little bit more freedom. For me it's not much a matter of being disappointed in his choices but rather of being worried for him. But then if it ends being Seimei, as I already said, I'll just trust that Yuzuru knows what he's doing. I wasn't fond of some of his past musics, but in the end I loved the programs. For example don't hate on me I didn't like Prince and still don't, but Yuzuru skated LGC in a way that left me no choice but...going crazy for it (in the best sense)

It's his emotions and his skills and his being in the music, not only just a random piece of music. I have many fears (Poto being the biggest of all) but I know they're probably irrational, because Yuzu and his team know what they're doing far better than me and everyone else here (imo), so I'm not really sure why I'm so stressed out. He could take the most used warhorse of all time and still make it unique and beautiful. Right. And now I can't get the image of Hanyu skating to Carmen out of my head.

So I really hope at this point that Yuzu's FS is not Swan Lake... unless he wants to perform the best Black Swan ever and beat the girls to it!
July 12, 20179 yr I must confess the idea of Carmen has been growing on me, it is a warhorse and would be a great personal experiment. Also... imagine how hot that would be

But the more 'warhorsey' as in 'the most powerful', then it's definitely the finale of the carmen variations. This is a piano version, but you can recognize the usual variations + the same chords repeating over and over. I wouldn't mind him skating to this piano version after all... but piano + piano would be too much, I guess xD

I swear, red suits his black hair and pale skin so well! I'm partial for Carmen because I played the violin variations so to me it will never be a boring warhorse. If Yuzu has a Carmen FS... bring it on! (but I highly doubt it anyways)
July 12, 20179 yr my guts tells me its something and my guts are often right when it is about others. I shall not say what it is so I don't jinx anything.
