Looks like Rika Kihira is training again! https://twitter.com/rikaloops/status/1781001587143459104?t=KWES0G-_8RUyNlr6C3rOzg&s=19
... As for my future plans, I will participate in ice shows as a professional skater with Tim, so please contact me. At the same time, I will study and find ways to help skaters glow with great health physically and mentally, regardless of nationality. My management company will continue to handle my affairs, so please contact me or them if needed.
The feeling of the wind on my cheeks when I first skated still makes me smile years afterwards.
It has truly been a happy competitive career.
Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.

I’m assuming that Tim will also retire from eligible events. They’re married, after all.Misato Komatsubara has announced her retirement from competition. She will continue as a pro skater in shows with partner Tim Koleto.
Doesn't seem like it - I think they are retiring, and moving to show skating.Kind of a weird announcement.
Does that mean Tim K might be looking for another partner?

In order of appearance:Uno skated the short program (SP) ``Fantasy for Violin and Orchestra'' for the 2016-17 season, captivating with her jumps and steps.
Kagiyama skated to the opera song `Werther'' in the morning performance, showing beautiful skating. In the afternoon performance, he will perform his new program `The Sound of Silence''. This is a new piece prepared to be used for both SP and exhibition. Miura also excited the audience with his powerful steps in his new program "Nemesis."
Marin Honda, who retired from active duty and graduated from Meiji University this spring, happily danced to the music of "SloMo."

Most likely.Lori Nichol?
She goes through phases and she's used Karadaglić's guitar recently. Easy to guess.Most likely.
"yuma's new program to sound of silence! apparently the choreography is by lori and they're debating making it a sp just working on finding more details now!" https://twitter.com/kagiyamaloops/status/1786336085485707483
