According to related articles, Kaori Sakamoto also participated in the open practice in Morioka, Iwate with Mai Mihara. Benoît Richaud was also there to give them advice.

 

According to Mai, Richaud said that her performance was better than he thought. She moved one of her jumps into the second half of the program to get a higher score, and is working on her stamina to be able to skate her new programs perfectly.

 

Kaori is considering to add a 3A in her FS. She said “Otherwise the Olympic berth won’t come into sight.” About her success rate of 3A coach Sonoko Nakano says “I could say that she had landed the jump. However she rarely pops. She can always maintain a tight air position and rarely falls.” Seems like the coach is thinking that Kaori needs to wait until she gains enough stamina, success rate and becomes able to skate the program as it is.

Agree that Kaori should add a 3A and go for broke, because otherwise the probability of her making the olympics is about 0.

Satton's SP "Sayuri" from Memoirs of a Geisha.

 

 

She looks quite mature with this dress and I love her expression, arm and hand movements throughout the performance. I will definitely keep an eye on this performance ^^
