As there seems to be some confusion:

YES, WE ARE PREDICTING ON DANCE THIS ROUND.

As there are 7 entries, that is more than enough to make predictions viable.

So, if you have not made any predictions on Dance yet, please go back and do so before the deadline comes up.

ICEDANCE (Pretty much closed my eyes and picked any 5 teams after Reed/Reed)

1. Cathy Reed/Chris Reed
2. Emi Hirai/ Marien De la Asuncion
3. Mei Ito/Kokoro Mizutani
4. Stephanie Casagrande/Georgii Chernishov
5. Kei Nishimura/Kentaro Suzuki
6. Nanako Takeda/Kaoru Tsuji
7. Kana Muramoto/Hiroichi Niguchi

Forgive me if I don't believe that you randomly put Emi Hirai/ Marien De la Asuncion in second!

They are the only other Japanese Dance couple that we ever see competing internationally!

But, I have to admit, I will probably be doing the same for my predictions below those two couples. However hard I tried, I just could not find Bios for any of them.

Mind you, there's always Wikipedia for previous years' results... :think:

I'm just passing by, but with regard to JpN ice dancing teams: Kana Muramoto/Hiroichi Niguchi is the newest team, they just paired up this year. They were actually assigned to Tallinn Trophy earlier this month. Though they didn't make it to the podium, their 4th placement with the total of 127.74 was actually higher than Emi Hirai/ Marien De la Asuncion's NHK final total (112~ish). I believe Muramoto/Niguchi pair was cleared for minimal TES. But just like Kozuka, the pair has also been assigned to the Winter Universiade 2015 by JSF. So there's probably no harm to place them higher.

I see a lot of people putting Stephanie CASAGRANDE / Georgii CHERNISHOV pretty high. They actually scored the lowest of any of the couples competing at junior nats/sectionals. Here are some videos that I could find if anyone wants a quick look:
