About the program
Kana Muramoto choreographed Kao Miura's mambo short, which pairs Perez Prado's "Historia De Un Amor" with "Gopher Mambo". Fans posting side-by-side clips spotted that it opens the same way as Daisuke Takahashi's old mambo.
His Grand Prix season started badly. He fell on the opening quad at Grand Prix de France and sat ninth, in a hot pink shirt.
At Cup of China he went clean, with every spin and step sequence at level 4, and scored 102.90 to win the segment. That's 0.06 off his personal best from NHK Trophy 2024. Fans loved the party energy, the step sequence and the new ruffled shirt, and several gave Muramoto the credit.
