Thank you @tsuyoboogie ! This is the first time I saw Marin Okamoto skate. She's lovely.
Added a link for Marin Okamoto's FS to post #57
Plan to get Saki Miyake and Marin's SPs once episodes are archived
I actually didn't know this but Hayato is coached by retired Japanese Ice Dancer Emi Hirai.
I believe that's her with him in the KnC although I can't be totally certain because of the mask and because I haven't seen her for a long while
Emi recently married her long-time Ice Dance partner Marien dela Asuncion
She seems to travel between France and Japan where she still coaches for Kurashiki FSC ln Okayama (her hometown)
I don't have much to say about her coaching style since I'm not yet familiar with many of her students
But considering Hayato's abilities and Ice Dancers Nao Kida/Masaya Morita who she trained and choreographed for (during Novice) before Cathy Reed took over I'd say she seems to be doing a good job
