Hey, two classics…Holst’s The planets-Jupiter for Mai…and Mao’s “Benedictus” may come from a Requiem (Mozart? Verdi? Other?). Bring on the Classical tunes!

What is he coming back to? Skating at random British weddings?
Dude must be trolling.

Sorry, but you are weird. Just like Takahashi did some years ago, he can enter the Japanese regionals and try to get to Nationals. I don't think that his goal is to get on the Worlds team or anything like that.

Oda returned to competing domestically last season -- Osaka Prefectural Sports Tournament in November and Japan's National Winter Games in January 2023 - article:

I’ve wanted Little Red Corvette in a skating program for 40 years!

My apologies to @TanithandBenFan - Lim/Quan's Prince medley RD has "Let's Go Crazy" and "When Doves Cry" but does not include "Little Red Corvette" (my mistake).

Ilia Malinin (USA)

SP - Malagueña

Ilia debuted his "Malaguena" by Benise, choreographed by Shae-Lynn Bourne, at the "Dreams on Ice" show in Japan (an IG video is posted in his fan thread; thanks to @tony for identifing the version he used).

Between these 2 posts, I feel like I've fallen into a time warp.

It really hadn't occurred to me that we're talking 40 years ago with this '80s RD.

It doesn't feel like 40 years.

 

[made_in_canada]

It doesn't feel like 40 years.

Tell me about it.

Signed,

Sorry, but I'm trying to get my head around "Slow Hand" and "Jump" being put together. They're a great contrast in tempos and styles, but their lyrical themes are so different. Perhaps the slow hand will do its work and that will make everyone so happy that they jump with joy

I have a teensy bit of confidence that I won't hate whatever they come up with. I mean, they made me not hate the Ghost soundtrack for a hot second during their fantastic 4CCs free skate.

Lol! At least we can expect some expression from him, which is a huge step up from either Morisi or Ryuichi's Elvis offerings last season!

Howe expressed as Ghost, so this will be wild!

Orihara/Pirinen are skating to the Chicago soundtrack for their FD. They shared a brief clip this morning.

If there is any ice dance team that can give us the campiness this music calls for, it would be them!

Team PiriHara on Instagram: "2nd week of summer camp is done ?? And here’s Littellin sneak peek of your new FD:))) #chicago #teampirihara #icedance #skatingfinland #helsinginluistelijat #hljäätanssi #newseason #choreography"

Ooh, does that mean she’ll get to kill him again?
