I've been waiting for someone to skate to this forever. And for it to be Akiko--be still my heart!

"O" - beautiful costume and program.
I don't think O can be beat, I loved that program and the dress, she was fantastic at WTT and NHK Trophy
Phantom of the Opera was good... but I thought it was a good performance of one of her lesser programs, I preferred Hyme a l'amour more
I also love her Kill Bill program, now that is what I want to see, it was original and exciting

Love Dance was my favorite. Her dress, and the whole thing!
Now we can continue to see her work in shows and through younger skaters. Goooo Akiko!

Definitely Hymne a l'amour...I love the way she interpretated the music and the emotions.

jenaj - loved that exhibition video you posted of Akiko skating to "She" by Elvis Costello.
My favorite program of Akiko's is "O." The other one that comes to mind is "West Side Story." I think that's because it was a breakthrough year for her. She had some success on the Grand Prix circuit the year before, winning the silver medal at NHK, but the 2009-2010 season is really when she came on my radar. She won gold at the Cup of China, bronze at the GP final, silver at Japanese Nationals, silver at Four Continents, and also went to the Olympics that year. More than anything I remember watching her joy while skating that program.

I love all of Akiko's programmes, but think "O" and "Kill Bill" were the most memorable. She was so versatile as a performer, able to do justice to warhorses like POTO with as much panache as something more original. I hope some of it rubs off onto Rika Hongo!

I think West Side Story was her best LP - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sEtpQG8YcA (the costume was better earlier in the season, don't know why she changed it)
Rika kept getting better last season and deserved to be on that world podium in the end IMO. The biggest things they need to work on for her presentation are more attractive spin positions and continuing to improve on the posture.

I love her POTO, and her program to O! All the different bird calls she added make the program for me!

West Side Story was such an evocative program, it's almost impossible not to feel emotional afterwards especially if you take into account all her struggles throughout her life.
I loved O as well.
