Alena hasn't delivered in years. Just not a fan. The choreography of this LP is not cute or spunky or fun (as her performances have been called in the past). It's amateurish.
At this point in time... Satoko's skating seems so small---- and yes, much of that is indeed relative to her being so very petite. I'm not being facetious ... is she too far along in her maturation process for a growth spurt?
I know you might get all technical and say it wasn't an LP, but she did deliver a superb (personal best) short program, both technically and performance-wise, at NHK just last year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDQa-LpIID0
She did enough in the FS too (including a textbook 3-3) to win silver overall, well ahead of Miyahara.
