You all take it too seriously. She's here to make people happy. Skating is sport but also entertainment as far as there's some music around.

軽快な曲でも、もう少しエレガントさが必要だと思う。

技術あると思うけどね。

佳菜子ちゃんは、日本人女子フィギュアスケーターには、今まで、­居なかった、逸材で笑顔の天才です。作り笑いという馬鹿な事をい­う輩はやっかみで、心の狭い人達です。天才ですから、持って生ま­れた性格です。私は、佳菜子ちゃんの子供ころから、注目していま­すが、いつもケタケタと屈託なく笑っていました。その笑顔も作り­笑いですか？１００歩譲って、作り笑顔でも、人は好感持てるもの­です。ブッスと苦虫かみ締めた顔なんか、見たらその日は一日気分­悪いです。少々大げさか？（笑）

あと、ジャンプの癖がどうのこうのと、審判もどきの批評している­、人達が多く居る。私は素人ですから、詳しく技術的の事は分かり­ませんが、スロー再生してもどこが問題かちっとも分かりません。­それよりも、全体が美しいです。私は朝晩、必ず佳菜子ちゃんの録­画ビデオを見て幸せな気分になります。免疫アップにも役立ちます­。さあ～皆さん心を広くして、佳菜子ちゃんを応援しましょう（笑­）

Some of the actions/moves look copied from the rock n roll programs from Oksana Baiul and Grishuk+Platov, including the ending pose. Her own original moves like 0:37, 1:08 etc were ugly.

I am really not impressed by the competitive skaters left today. Sasha Cohen was the last person to leave competitive skating who has beautiful artistry; now it just looks like a jumping competition out there amoung the skaters with some moves thrown in between to disguise as 'artistry'. Terrible.

[safehaven11]

She's already so amazing. 

[TheSienna29]

I hope she peaks at the right time. She is 16...still alot of growing to do.

[HelTra91]

@TheSienna29 and she's already grown a lot, too, hopefully if she keeps growing she transitions easy like mao did as opposed to mirai who had a few rough patches, love this girl :)

[schnisha95]

@HelTra91 well, everyone has to go through something like that at one point. it's not really something you can avoid. but i agree. she's amazing. next to mirai, my favorite skater :)
