Satoko Miyahara
FS: Madama Butterfly
I really don't understand the fuss about Madama Butterfly: first of all, it's not such a warhorse, there have been a couple of great programs skated to it, but nothing like Carmen/POTO or even Sheherazade. Secondly, this is the kind of music that suits Satoko perfectly, so why shouldn't she use it for the Olympic season (do we know who the choreographer is, BTW)? Thirdly (but this is just my super-personal opinion), I didn't like the Planets that much, I preferred Miss Saigon and Un Sospiro by a long way, but maybe that's just because I was not really familiar with the music itself.
Yes, I loved Mao's Butterfly immensely, too: I'd say it was even one of my all-time favourites of hers, but I have faith that Satoko will be able to produce something different, less dramatic, more ethereal, focusing on her strengthsAdd me to #TeamSospiro. I often feel like I was the only one who didn't love Satoko's free program last season when I read all the posts on here about how great it was.
I feel like the issue isn't so much that Madama Butterfly is a warhorse, but I think to many, Mao's program is still fresh in their minds. I hope Satoko takes it in a different direction, so we're not just reminded of Mao when she's skating. It doesn't seem like an impossible task, there's tons of cuts to choose from.
Super-safe choices, as expected, but why blame her? That's what everyone's doing, as we have seen with Honda, Zagitova and Miyahara. I'm just a bit disappointed because I think I remember her saying that she wanted to try something different and I was hoping for something more upbeat, at least for the SP.Evgenia Medvedeva 2017-2018 season music:

The FS music choices are lovely. I'm listening right now and am looking forward to see the music cut they'll choose.

Listening to January Stars Wow, so excited. September can't come quick enough.
Now Departure, both so far are SOOO Evgenia :cool2:
Also, does anybody have the status on this? I was checking her twitter all through last night like someone with nothing better to do (to be fair, though, that it what I am)
Well.. that's awkward, since Mirai and Evgenia are going to the same GPs, and we all know which one will fare better lol
