What ARE they thinking?!!! Does Moa have any understanding of the lyrics of Strange Fruit? :shocked:
Yes, it's a powerful piece of music, but what relevance does it have to her life experience?
Maybe she is very precocious and chose it herself, but if someone else did, they need their heads examined.

Agreed. I really hope the songs's been incorrectly identified, because a fifteen-year-old girl from a completely different culture skating to an adult woman's song of grief, rage and despair for lynched Black men in the US south would be Domnina/Shabalin levels of inappropriate. I'd expect Richaud to understand that.
And if the song has been correctly identified, I sincerely hope that the inevitable online pushback goes to the adult man in the situation, not the aforementioned fifteen-year-old girl.

Just a heads up, the news came from Quadruple Axel (a Figure Skating magazine publication in Japan) when they did their reporting on this year's Japanese juniors training camp. Moa was there alongside Japan's other top juniors and Quad Axel did a series of tweets reporting their 2019-2020 programs, including Moa's programs.
Earlier in July, Jack Gallagher reported that her SP as "Sinner Man" by Nina Simone, so I think when she competes we'll get a clearer understanding on what her SP music actually consist of. (https://twitter.com/sportsjapan/status/1148207907101499393).
