what are your top 3 favourite hanyu programs? :)
The most difficult question ever. Anon why do you hate me? Why are you so cruel to me? What have I ever done to deserve this? It would be easier to pick literally anything else than this.
Ballade No.1 (A few other skaters are able to interpret classical music the way he is, probably only Satoko is on his level. It's exactly what Chopin would have wanted for this piece. He has re-used it for several seasons but I never get bored of it because it has continued to grow and evolve.)
Notte Stellata (Probably one of the only skaters whose gala exhibitions could even make a list of their best programs. To be completely honest, had I not seen this program in all its glory with my own eyes, I would probably say Requiem as my fave gala program of his. But I have seen Notte Stellata live and it was the first and so far only performance to actually make me cry.)
Heaven and Earth (It has solved the problem of 'do I like Seimei or Hope and Legacy more?' for me. There have been a very few programs that I had instantly liked the first time I saw them, it usually takes me a few rewatches to start vibing with the program, but for this one - it had me in its clutches in like first 10 seconds. Looking back, it might be a quite unique composition when it comes to musical phrasing. Also the way he presents the program is just cheff's kiss. I don't know what his plans for the next season are obviously, but I wouldn't mind if we got to see this free skate for one season more.)
