Nice interview by Clare Cloutier with Bruno Marcotte which is mostly about them:

Happy to see them on the ice looking strong! Whoa!? Choreo by Shae Lynne Bourne? Nice to see them go with someone other than Julie Marcotte.

They were really good. Ryuichi slipped and fell once, but other than that I really enjoyed their performance

Glad they won pairs at GPF 2025. I just caught up watching the free program and with the mistake on the hand down by Ryuichi I could see how apologetic he was to Ryu afterwards. I only paid more attention to pairs in the last 2 years so I appreciate how long he's been around. I do want them to win Gold.
