Any chance the Shibutanis will skate for Japan?

I was there for nationals in 2000. It was my first nationals & it was a great event. Great crowd & great atmosphere in the arena...lots of Olympic stuff aroud. I remember every time Brian Orser was shown on the Jumbotron (in the stands - before he was coaching) a huge roar would come up. Worlds...

It was a beautiful service, what a life!
