GREAT! I loved her in Moscow when I saw her live in Moscow - so great to see her develop so nicely. 

 

KAORIIIIIII!!!

Beautiful jumps! Beautiful skate!  and she looks so happy!

 Cute happy reaction 

 that was great 

That program was awesome. Her jumps were just so ON, and she was flowing across the ice with speed... interesting moves... just wow. I loved it. Hope she's first after this, she had the crowd on its feet and only Bradie has had that in the last few skaters... love her jumping at the end!!! Ya for her.

That was so great! 

Yesssssssssss that was lovely!! I actually love her miming

Kaori was brilliant. Johnny Weir raved that she is like "crushed velvet." 

I love Johnny's analogies that don't make any sense like water suspended in soup 

All the ladies are skating so well! Sorry for Ashley, what happened to her..?

Holy crap, I think Kaori has just joined the ranks of my absolutely favorite skaters. I LOVED that program (except the spin in the middle which was apropos nothing).

 

The dress color though, it looks like army castoffs.

I loved the program! Very unique lol, and Kaori absolutely nailed it! I hope she gets ahead with it, she very well deserves either gold or silver depending on how Satton goes Ah! It was so delightful to watch that Japan ladies always deliver I am very happy!

Max and Angelo compliment Sakamoto for her ability to maintain high speed in and out of jumps c: 

Ok now. Work on her stamina, goodness. She needs that, big time. And it's something that should not be an issue and it'll help with both those spins, and her interpretation.
