This free dance already looks super fun, can't wait to see how it develops! Only four more days until Finlandia Trophy, honestly I'm looking forward to it so much.

Wow! I don’t know if it was having last week as a warm up, or being on home ice or WHAT but somehow they have already improved on SO much nuance that was missing last week. Still a good way to go for these two in terms of the PCS score and their overall skating skills for the higher difficult elements, but I am super impressed by their performance today.
I’m also still obsessed with Yuka’s dress, and how they were able to still create a unique concept out of a Pirates of the Caribbean program.
Pirihara’s NHK performance of their cannibalism free dance (they performed better, scored and placed higher in Espoo but I have this one saved already).
The story of the program is that Yuka is a siren/mermaid (whatever) who kills and eats Yuho who’s a sailor. Let’s be real a program like that deserves to be on tumblr.
StLi4Ro4 | Ch Jump +1.54| DiSt 2+1 | 1F 2+1 | Sp4 | Character +1.38 | Tw 4+4 +0.52 | StLi4 | Slide +1.66 (could have been higher in a later group)
Program: Pirates of the Caribbean
Really nice, eerie program. i wish they had chosen to go a little more character with it, but I also appreciate the decision to not because EVERYONE always does. Very solid, well executed for their level.
Love her dress, but I think it’s a little too long or needs a jeweled glove. I don’t like his shirt color or collar at all. The smokey kinda dirty water ombré I don’t mind, but it would be much better with a similar ombré or just color as Yuka’s.
