Kaori working with Rohene sounds like an interesting combination.

Kaori working with Rohene sounds like an interesting combination.

He choreographed her Janet Jackson SP in the 22/23 season and I really liked that one for her so I'm optimistic for this one.

I had hoped to see Hana work with Kaitlyn Weaver again because I liked the program from last season, but I'm looking forward to seeing what Kailyn choreographs for Mone and Mao.

@Allskate - As may have been posted earlier, from DoI vids on YouTube:

Hana: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n40RFl6olUs&pp=ygUfSGFuYSB5b3NoaWRhIERyZWFtcyBvbiBJY2UgMjAyNA== Dark Clouds, interesting choral tune.

Mone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiXuII4H6FM Last Dance, tribute to the ‘70s.

Mao: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbktxunTkwg Can’t stand the Disney Princess voice…

 

[Allskate]

Mao: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbktxunTkwg Can’t stand the Disney Princess voice…

It's from the Broadway musical, Wicked - Idina Menzel and Kristen Chenowith. I think Mao may be part of the reason it comes across as Disney Princess.

Hana's is my favorite program of the three. But, she's also my favorite skater of the three.

Has anyone heard what the Realness is skating to this season? Or even Isabeau?

 

[Karen-W]

I think we may have a RD music announcement from SmaDie...

Someone I follow on Instagram shared a clip of one of Clint Eastwood's spaghetti westerns the other day specifically to highlight Morricone's score in the scene and I watched it thinking that more people should skate to his scores, I know a few have but not a ton. I'm very much here for a spaghetti western FD.

They are definitely a team I think can pull it off!

Awww yiss . Two of my all-time favorite songs by two of my all-time favorite bands.
Will root for these Frenchies next season.

 

[Wyliefan]

Rich Man's Frug should look good on them too. And it's a nice alternative to disco.

 

[NinjaTurtles]

I love Rich Man's Frug, but why use the revival recording?

 

[Aceon6]

I love Rich Man's Frug, but why use the revival recording?

Tempo change. The revival one is sufficiently different to satisfy requirements.

Well, to be fair, we don't have confirmation of "The Feeling Begins" for SmaDie yet do we? Only that it was playing in the background of an IG reel while they were working on choreo.
