I'll NEVER get over Narumi and Mervin getting that bronze in Nice and them POOOOF - splitting up. I just hope that Kana/Chris' split was on amicable terms and they will both find satisfaction in new partnerships, despite our wishes/sadness over them parting ways.
And I really like them.
Sad about Muramoto and Reed split but honestly- I think Muramoto really needs to find a more energizing partner to raise the bar. Good luck to both ex partners anyways.

Now? When they were just finally making it, they split? What even is this off season?!

I don't understand your logic? How is a Spanish Dance team making the top 10 a bad thing, when it means the 2nd Spanish team, who are also very good, getting a place at World's next season? (Spain will have 2 at Europeans this season)

Really? It seemed like they were finally getting closer to the top tier.

Darn this break up. I enjoyed their FD last season and was hoping to see their progress this season. Good luck to them both!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! 
I really loved them together! They had such great chemistry and interesting programs.
I hope at least this is their private decision and not JSF meddling hoping that Kana, with her star potential, will find a younger and less injury-prone partner. Good male ice dance partners aren't growing on trees (just ask Elena Ilinykh).
I hope they find good partners, but building a stable partnership in time for the next Olympics will be tricky. Best of luck to them both!

You are thinking of Allison Reed. Both Cathy and Chris skated for Japan their entire senior career and Cathy is coaching in Japan now. I really wish people would stop throwing shade at the Reeds for country hopping when Chris and Cathy have only done so once and they did it early on as teenagers, presumably before the US Fed spent much on developing them. Not to mention that Cathy's post competitive career also shows her dedication to Japanese skating. As for Allison, as another poster has mentioned, male skating partners don't exactly grow on trees.

It sounds like Kana drove the decision to part ways, but that Chris respected the decision.

Could be she already has a partner? But if he is not japanese it would be difficult for her to get to he next Olympics... or could it be she is changing countries.
I feel disappointed, I have a soft spot for them...

I was responding to the post above, which implied that this split was in some way a good thing for the parties involved. My logic is that this split is in no way a good thing for Kana, Chris, and the development of Japanese ice dance.
Of course, it will be a good thing for Spain. (And if I didn't appreciate the quality of H&K, I wouldn't have named them. I think their odds are very good this season. Though why recycled Pink Floyd and Libertango? Why?).
