OGASAWARA DANCE STUDIO
Natural turn!
Spin turn!
Reverse turn!
Whisk!
Chasse!
Natural turn!
-Yayyyy! -Your waltz is perfect!
You have been working hard on your shadowing!
Can't believe you were stumbling not too long ago!
Pfft.
I thought you were a dog being walked. That was awful!
How mean!
What're you saying?!
He's not a dog,
but more like a newborn fawn!
A fawn?!
If you're going to complain, teach him yourself!
At this rate, a Madagascan monkey will be better than him!
A monkey?!
Shut up! Crappy teachers can teach crapp--
-Oww! -Now you take care of him!
There, there. Tatara-kun, you're doing good!
That's weird. He sucks no matter how you look at him.
Was it just me?
That moment...
I saw it...
for a sec.
Could that be?
Is that Shizuku?
Yes, one sec 'til contact
Two sec and check my toe Three sec take your hand, right?
Tick tock as the gears start to turn
But only the one foot placed keeps going
Something's odd I can't remember how to breathe
As each day keeps rolling playing
The most vital heart won't sing
What's the matter? Is an opportunistic score needed?
Sometimes you shouldn't read the situation
One beat, praise, light the fire!
Playing tricks like such a melodrama?
If you're just gonna laugh I'm outta here
Now style a pure heart Change on over
Then you can go anywhere The door is left open
Go on and perform
Take me out! After I shyly take your hand
Let's show off this rhythm of surprise
The way you dance with the world
It's too good I want you to show me a little at a time
Take me out! 110% sympathy
It's a secret that we've linked
Because to see you this close
I may be the only one since the dawn of history, right?
One sec 'til contact
Two sec and check my toe Three sec take your hand, right!
HEAT 3- DANCE THE WALTZ
Hakkeyoi, nokotta!
Yamanikuyama draws his right leg and closes his arms!
Sakenoumi gets palmed in the chin and his heel slightly lifts!
Oh, no! Yamanikuyama stands firm! Sakenoumi exchanges thrusts,
but is pushed out!!
And that's it, Grandma!
Today's commentary was very exciting.
Sorry to always trouble you because of my poor eyesight.
But thanks to you, Tatara,
I can see a plump naked man's figure in my eyes.
Not sure how I feel about that, but I'm glad you're happy.
Oh, by the way, I'm going out this Sunday.
What? Is it a date?!
A rendezvous?
Umm.
Tatara-kun!
Over here!
THE 37TH PRINCE MIKASA CUP ALL JAPAN DANCESPORT CHAMPIONSHIP
PRINCE MIKASA CUP
Wow, there's lots of people here.
Well, it is the amateur championships for all of Japan.
More than 200 couples enter, you know.
That many?
Hey, where you goin'?
Where? I'm gonna give 'em a pep talk!
C'mon, Tatara!
Oh. Okay.
I-I'm so close to the dancers!
Look at that person's make up!
That guy has a long neck!
This is really fun, Sengoku-san!
Hey.
We're not at the zoo.
This is where dancers fight to win or lose.
Get it through your head.
You've just stepped onto a battlefield.
SEEDED PAIRS' LOCKER ROOM
We're here!
Hyodo! Shizuku!
Welcome!
Yow! You're lookin' good as always, Tamaki-chan!
There're warriors here...
The man ranked in 1st place!
Hurry up and take over both those divisions!
The only one in your way is him, huh?
Standard's...
Iwakuma.
Those two there are last year's champions.
Hey you, the guy in 2nd place!
What are you saying, Sengoku-san?! Apologize to the champion!
He's not a champion! He's a gorilla!
A 2nd place gorilla!
Here we go again.
What?
These two were rivals for a long time.
Sengoku-kun turned pro two years ago,
so he ranked up last year.
That aside, Sengoku-san's...
dominated both divisions five years in a row?!
Hyodo!
Take both crowns! For my sake!
And Shizuku!
Go grab the hearts of the judges with your erotic Latin!
You're talking crazy!
The Prince Mikasa Cup.
Latin American Division.
The 2nd Qualifying Round will begin.
The Samba!
The Cha-cha-cha!
The Rumba!
What do ya think? Isn't Latin sexy?
I-It's so amazing... I don't know what to say.
They become completely different people in each style.
They can dance to any type of music.
And I only know the Waltz.
They'll be the winners for sure in Latin.
What should we do?
Standard's after Juveniles, so we have some time until then.
Tatara! Let's go buy some...
No.
That Latin rhythm from earlier won't leave my head.
Even though I...
can't dance to it...
We will now begin the Juvenile Standard Division.
With this rhythm, I can dance.
The Waltz is...
my rhythm!
You serious?
So I accidentally danced my ex-partner's routine.
I don't care about your girl!
Hey, who do ya think will win this year?
Me for Latin, right?
As if! What about Standard?
Iwakuma-san has this image of being in 2nd place.
Ain't Hyodo gonna take it then?
H-Hyodo-kun?
Why didn't you lock the door?!
Hyodo, eh?
He's at the top of the rankings this year too.
It'd be such a drag if the champ is some kid.
Athletic tape?
But if we're talkin' champions, Sengoku-san's the man, right?
I really wanted him to stay in the Amateur League.
If it were the Sengoku pair, they would've been world champs!
The Hyodo pair is just...
His parents are like some big shots or somethin'.
I've never even seen him lose in a competition.
I'm sure they just have connections to win.
Dance is just a game to him.
He never shows up to the joint practices either.
He lacks effort.
His partner is also...
You've never even seen it.
Oh crap.
How could this be a game to him?
He's a dancer!
The Standard 2nd Qualifying Round is up soon.
Mino-chan, can you go on ahead?
Sure... just don't be late.
What?!
Hyodo disappeared?!
I haven't seen him since Latin finished...
His tail coat's still here, too.
Oh no!
What? The 2nd Qualifying Round's soon!
Hey, Tatara.
SEEDED PAIRS' LOCKER ROOM PLEASE KEEP TRACK OF YOUR VALUABLES
Sengoku-san!
We can't go through Hyodo-kun's stuff just 'cause he's not around!
Tatara.
You get out there.
Huh?
Hyodo-kun!
Where are ya, Hyodo?!
The 2nd Qualifying Round is going to start!
The Waltz, 2nd Heat.
Shizuku!
He's here! Go!
You're late, Kiyoharu!
Wait.
Who the heck're you?!
Dance!
Mino-chan.
Does Hyodo's leg look alright?
Yeah, but it looks like he shrank...
Mino-chan, I...
I may win 1st place today.
Sengoku-kun!
So Hyodo-kun made it!
Huh?! Isn't that Tatara?
-Wha? -He's right.
What's going on, Sengoku-kun?!
Sengoku-san!
There's no way!
Why me?!
Shut up! There's no time!
If you don't enter, they're gonna get disqualified!
Hey! Stop!
You don't wanna dance with Shizuku?
Wha...
After this you're never gonna get a second chance...
to dance with another guy's partner.
What am I doing...
in front of all these people?
Fujita-kun!
You dance once the music plays!
Move your right foot!
C'mon, it's the natural turn!
His mind must be blank.
Remember your shadow practice!
Basics! Ya done them a million times!
Right!
Left!
Right!
Left!
Right...
Left...
Right!
It connects!
Wait!
Isn't this...
Hyodo-kun's choreography?
You again! You told him somethin' weird again?!
I did not!
It's their own choreography.
When?!
When did he learn it?!
How did Hyodo-kun move?!
If it were Hyodo-kun!
O-Okay, just as I imagined. I don't know the name of it though.
Darn it, stop shaking!
I gotta make it through this song!
W-What's wrong?!
Why did he stop at the rise?!
Is that a...
High Hover?!
What's that?!
Oh yeah. Jinbo-kun, you specialize in Latin.
It's a technique where you pause at the rise
to show the beauty of your posture and balance.
Whoa!
But this move...
wasn't in Hyodo-kun's choreography, was it?
W-What should I do...
I don't know what's after this.
My legs are gonna give...
Music... please stop!
Fujita-kun...
I can't...
Huh?
A whisk?
Why a whisk now?
Basics at this point?
I'm beggin' you, please dance normally!
Th-This kid...
He's started his own choreography.
Umm, umm, a move that won't tire my legs.
These steps are all a mess...
so why is he making me dance?!
Earlier too.
It's like I was dancing with Kiyoharu.
Those two are properly leading and following.
They've never even danced together!
No.
He was always dancing with Shizuku.
But that doesn't mean a beginner...
can dance offhand!
He's barely holding up.
In this situation...
this kid's smiling.
He stepped on his own pant hems!
Hanaoka-san, I'm sorry!
The music's...
stopped.
I gotta bow!
We...
kinda danced it all.
When did ya learn Hyodo's choreography?
But I tripped though.
If Hyodo-kun ever saw me...
Kiyoharu! Where were you?!
I-I'm sorry.
But I'm glad...
you came back!
The Tango's next, right?
Good--
Give it back...
Give it back!
After the dream-like moment passes
Anyone would want to see more
But it's only beautiful because it ends like a dream
So lock it away deep within our hearts
I want to be driven by rhythm, light, and dreams
On that night I stretch out my hand
I know something will change That something I will find by surprise
Spin, spin By the sounds of the world
The passion blooms and it makes my heart dance
"We shall meet here someday again"
Please don't say that, you unexpected Next Waltz
We will cross paths if we just dance
And we'll enjoy our overlapping lives
We'll express our joy with all of our bodies
After we flash smiles
We can cross paths once again
And when we enjoy our overlapping moments
It'll lead to a new step
So spin, spin forever
