Good for them. I hope this means no more old-fashioned Streisand FDs. (No offense to Streisand fans. Just not a fan of that FD.)

Paul/Islam got a Streisand FD at Gadbois, but that's been done already so Misato and Tim are probably safe

What are Muramoto/Reed perspectives in the future ? Are they aiming for 2022 ? Because K/K is.
It will be nice for them to train with the big guns, get some exposure and very clever from Gadbois to take another Asian team. They have 2 Japanese teams now.

K/K are making serious steps towards 2022. They have become married and are very serious about Tim getting that elusive Japanese citizenship

Wouldn't they have to be living in Japan too?

According to Wikipedia, "The Minister of Justice may waive the (...) residence requirements if the applicant has a special relationship to Japan". I guess being married to a Japanese combined with representing Japan on the international stage might qualify as a "special relationship to Japan"?
