Was that a real sentence?
Maybe the rink really was the reason for the popped Axel, but I'd just wish to see a clean one again - he popped it or fell on it in the last videos from DOI/the Ice I saw too. It's usually his best jump.
That aside, well... the quality isn't the best (although I'm grateful anyway it was uploaded of course!) and it's just pretty early to tell, but I don't think it suits him. The choreo isn't bad or anything, I just don't like it on Yuzuru. Maybe I'll get used to it though.

If I like it or not...
Is that a hockey sized rink? It looks really small. I wonder if he singled the axel because he would have risked crashing into the crowd, but I can't really judge from the video.
Usually, there are on-ice tables at the Mariposa gala. The available rink area is smaller than the regular size.

What Jeff Buttle had to say about the SP to the Japanese media during The Ice tour: here.
I’m not even sure his spins are as good as usual and it’s a bit scary to see solo jumping, no combos.
but you don't really need to be Hanyu to skate to that SP :disapp:

I don't really know what that "you don't have to be Yuzuru to skate that SP" is suppossed to mean... the only skaters that I thought could pull off music just they could are Daisuke and Jeremy. And Hanyu is 17, he is immensly talented but still not in the same league yet. It's not about being the only one who can skate a programm (in relation to the music, when has that happened?), it's about having a unique way of interpretating that given music. I think Hanyu will learn that as he continues to get used to the programm.
And maybe they will still rework some parts of it before the first competitions.
I agree that maybe Jeremy can pull off any music, classical, modern, rock ‘n’ roll, etc. But I’m not sure about Takahashi, he tried many classical programs before 2007-2008 season but never pulled off any of them. Not so many people said he was an artist back then. His Sabre Dance and Paganini programs were quite awful, no better than Nobunari’s classical programs. Takahashi had a breakthrough when he skated techno Swan program at 21. Then he sticks to that style and never returns to classical music.the only skaters that I thought could pull off music just they could are Daisuke and Jeremy.
