rewatch Satoko's SP, one highlight is this back spiral into spin here

I kinda hope she can do this move deeper into a charllote like back spiral, it reminds me of Yuna's this move here and it will add more dimension to her SP.

Satoko: Am I the only one who thought this SP was just so-so? She looks beautiful but the program itself is very one note and doesn't hold my attention. She's consistent as always but it pales in comparison to her Firedance last year, which I loved.
No. Every season she has a great program and a so-so program. The great program is always choreographed by Tom Dickson while the so-so program is choreographed by Lori Nichol. Last season her SP was choreographed by Tom Dickson; this season by Lori Nichol.
I'd like to put a ban on sparkles, sequins and crystals for a season just to see what skaters can come up with!
