2018-19 Programs and Choreographers

[Meoima]

Thanks, sleepingsleeping. I see that Yuzuru is going by the saying "why fix it, if it ain't broken" (don't remember the exact wording) . Good that he is doing what has proven to be the best and most comfortable for him in terms of collaborations and choreography, but he could at least try it the other way round for once (Shae-Lynn for the SP, and Jeffrey for FS) .

Preview of Yuzuru's SP: https://youtu.be/2n6au6hsnvg
I love that he might do twizzle 3A twizzle
and I love that hydroblading into that Leap. What do we call such a leap? Does it have a name?

Madison Hubbell/Zachary Donohue

FD: Introduction to Romeo (Romeo and Juliet soundtrack) by Craig Armstrong
Kissing You Instrumental (Romeo and Juliet soundtrack) by Craig Armstrong
Kissing You (Romeo and Juliet soundtrack) performed by Desree

I don't suppose we'll get a nice motorcycle crash to highlight it like Barbara & Maurizio's.

 

[starrynight]

I feel like perhaps Virtue/Moir doing Moulin Rouge may have paved the way for Hubbell/Donohue's choice. Doing a straight up interpretation of a soundtrack was previously something that I think Gadbois was proud of avoiding. But it seems the success of V/M may have encouraged them to relax into some of the old favourites.

It may not be the most original choice. But, like Moulin Rouge, it will inevitably be a crowd favourite because people like the music. I don't think you can go wrong with R+J or MR because the music will always carry the programs.

It didn't do much for James & Cipres. (I think when you have that steamy sexy, hard-edged persona, you should go for it. Kissing You is soft romance and feels a bit like a Can't Help Falling in Love rerun. Not much of a climax to the music). Hubbell & Donohue can do the style. I suspect she likes to play that soft romantic lead as she's done it a couple times now; but I think they stand out more from the crowd when they do something edgier. I knew we were so lucky to get two quality music selections for H&D last season. Didn't someone send them their FD music last year? Where are their uberfans this season? Do your job, dang it!

As for Moulin Rouge, the back & forth cuts for Manta & Johnson were a classic example of what can go wrong with MR. Though V&M themselves revamped their music choices last year.

Didn't think R&J worked for Moore-Towers & Marinaro either. Or did much for Della Monica & Guarise.

Nope. They asked for suggestions from fans this season, but last year Madi found the FD music herself.

It might be a tad early to qualify how H/D will interpret this music since they've yet to perform the program anywhere.

Also, this isn't the first time they've used music from a movie soundtrack for their FD.

Nevermind. I just read the post above incorrectly.

Whatever Lola Wants, Lola Gets and Little Man, Lola wants You. Rarr!! I'm surprised Tarasova didn't fling that in there as well as some Four Seasons.

 

[sleepingsleeping]

Regarding music mix, I would like to introduce interesting stories.
https://victorysportsnews.com/articles/4441/original

Yuzuru's "Hope & Legacy"
This program consists of two different music.
"View of Silence" and "Asian Dream Song"

The composer did not allow to mix the two music.

The most problem was in connecting two different music. The two music's, the history of composition and the concept of music are quite different. Mixing them is against the intentions of the composer. The composer said, "I can not approve of mixing music , from the viewpoint of cherishing music."

Yuzuru asked the composer to allow the music mix again as being for sports, not for commercial purposes. Composer gave permission as "exception only this time". But it is clear that the mix was not what the composer wanted.
This program recorded the highest score of FS.

However, I think that these two music were not good among the works composed by this composer. There was also a problem of mixing the two music.

Yuzuru's "SEIMEI" is also the music of the second class composer of the second class movie in Japan. This program also mixes the two albums, at the beginning, yuzuru is recording and editing the breath of yuzuru. I feel strange that figure skating judges and commentators think like 'supreme art' for handling such music.

For figure skating, "Interpretation of music" etc is also subject to judgment. However, I think that figure skating music editing and music choice is terrible.

Sorry, if Shigeru Umebayashi is a “second class” composer, who constitutes a “first class” composer in your books?

I suppose that's "Code Geass" right?

 

[sleepingsleeping]

For example, Toru Takemitsu and Ryuichi Sakamoto. Shigeru Umebayashi is not famous in Japan．Joe Hisaishi is famous in Japan.

Since when fame is indication of ‘class’?

Ryuichi Sakamoto is not famous in Japan? I guess you are sort of young or younger than his age. My take is he is one of the legends in Japanese music scenes.

Famous（It is highly appreciated ）　Toru Takemitsu，Ryuichi Sakamoto，Joe Hisaishi
Not famous（ Not highly appreciated ）　Shigeru Umebayashi

Ryuichi Sakamoto is very famous in Japan. His music has become number one in popular music charts. In addition, he is also known for film music. He has also won an Academy Award and a Grammy Award.

If SEIMEI was composed by a highly respected composer, Yuzuru would not have recorded his breath and added it to that music. Because it is a very rude act against composers. A highly respected composer may get angry.

Ah, I misread your sentence in the original post. Thanks for the clarification. Forget about my post.
