Is Yuna old enough for 2018? (ideal 2018 Japan team is Satoko/Wakaba/her or Yuka...)

Yes, she should be. I can't find the exact birthday now, but I remember she was born about 1 year later after Wakaba (born in Jan 2002)

News report said she will be 16 yo. So yes.

Muramoto/Reed sounds promising! I wonder if they be ready for the TBD spot at NHK.

I'm happy Chris found a new partner! Kana her previous partner (Noguchi) did great during Nats and hopefully they wouldn't need too much time to adjust to each other.
Also happy that Ryu found a new pairs partner. ^^
However I'm still worried for Koga/Boudreau-Audet - aren't they supposed to be competing on seniors level now? I was wondering why they didn't get NHK Trophy on GP, since host gets to pick one of their own. Or are their scores just not GP-level yet? I'm not familiar with Pairs/Ice Dance selection when it comes to GP assignments so if someone knows, please enlighten me. ~_~ I haven't seen any news on them in Japanese websites either.

They split and fount new partners. The new teams are: Sumire Suto/Francis Boudreau-Audet and Ami Koga/Spencer Howe (K/H will skate in the Junior Pairs SP event at the Quebec Summer Championships, August 6-9.).

I knew it.
But if it means Japan's getting more pairs teams then this miiiiight be a good thing? (on the fence here, because I know it might get some getting used to to skate with another person, plus citizenship issues.) Would you be so kind as to link me to a source? Thank you in advance. ^^I knew it.
List of participants for Quebec Summer Championships: http://www.patinage.qc.ca/uploads/Competition 2015-2016/CQE/Liste_Part_CQE2015_juin19_13h50.pdf
Francis and Sumire are registered for Senior Couple Prog. Court (Serior Pairs SP), Koga Ami and Howe Spencer Akira are listed for Junior Couple Prog. Court (Junior Pairs SP). As Spencer's second name is Akira, perhaps he has a Japanese parent?
I'd assume the age difference was the reason for the split -Ami and Spencer have still 3 years of junior eligibility left (while Francis moved on to seniors).

i really loved Francis during WTT, he was one of the loudest cheerleader in Team Japan, i wish all the best to him and good luck to other newly paired teams as well
