I'm not sure what you consider to be one of Satoko's greatest strengths, but I thought this music was perfect for Satoko, and she performed it beautifully. Not sure we watched the same program, because I thought the choreography was spot on with the music, for the most part.
I guess it depends on whether you know the music she's skating to (Musetta's Waltz from Puccini's opera La Boheme) and how much you care about character and acting from skaters. I know the opera like the back of my hand and care about acting, so that's a big reason why this program doesn't work for me. Musetta isn't sweet, elegant, or charming, and at this point in the opera she's actually making a huge scene in a very public place to try to win her lover back, not waltzing around in a ballroom.
