From the TV broadcast of the show in Chiba (watch while you can?):

Hanyu brought back his 2014-16 SP to Chopin's Ballade no. 1 (planning to revamp for 2017-18), followed by a footwork encore to "Let's Go Crazy": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSIqNpRS-ME

Uno's show version of his new SP to Vivaldi's Winter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCSspS_fRyc

Kostner 'Ne me quitte pas' http://radikal.ru/video/gwCoF6D6kEw
3 jumping passes, 3 spins, footwork, 2:50 mins, new SP I wonder...

Very interesting, it certainly looks like a short program layout. I'm not sure I like the power female vocals for Carolina, I don't think she needs it, really. I could see this being a fantastic choice for Pogorilaya or Sotnikova (I'm still in enough denial to think she will seriously make a run at the Olympics), but I'm unsure if it's the most effective choice for Kostner.

Having said that, evaluating new programs in early summer is a fool's game (which won't stop any of us!).

It's been reported that Pogo skated to Anna Karenina but it wasn't broadcasted but it could be a new competitive program.

There needs to be a "love" button for this -- masterful edges and ice coverage...
