"Ioanna, Li'Kitsu, Ares, andromache and others - you better look out, cause one day I'll be Japanese number ONE! (points finger up)"^ Can you translate a few words, please?

Don't ask me, I haven't claimed once Marin should be pushed as Japanese no.1.
For me, she is already no.1 - if only because of what hers and Satoko's very own coach Mie Hamada said: "without doubt Marin is my most talented student."
What else do you need?
I'm happy that after all she proved she's still be a top contender at juniors, but i've never been a fan of her skating: it looks average to me on every aspect, there isn't a thing where she is great, better than anyone else (but i could say the same for Satoko)

Ice Time asked Hamada straight up which one of her group of more than 30 skaters was the most naturally talented.
“Marin,” Hamada replied without hesitation.

Both Marin and Satoko have great aspects in parts of their skating. Maybe not necessarily the best, but still great.
