Which one's Nanako?
**[00:06] Sawako**
That one, second from the right.
**[00:09] Ippeita**
Huh? They changed formation...
**[00:14] Ippeita**
It's over.
**[00:15] Sawako**
Let's go.
**[00:16] Sawako**
Jumpei, wake up.

**[03:32] Brown-haired Student**
Let's do this! I'm serious!
**[03:39] Jumpei**
If you don't stop me from stepping in,
you'll get hit with a "bam!"
**[03:43] Male Student 1**
Whoa, that was fast! Jeet Kune Do!
**[03:45] Jumpei**
Thanks, thanks.
**[03:46] Brown-haired Student**
You're amazing, Jumpei!
**[03:48] Jumpei**
You should join us!
**[03:49] Jumpei**
It's fun at Uncle Mioka's dojo!
**[03:52] Brown-Haired Student**
No way. It's in Meguro, right?
**[03:55] Brown-Haired Student**
That's too far!
**[04:00] Male Students**
Whoa!
**[04:02] Brown-Haired Student**
Was that a flying kick?
**[04:03] Male Student 1**
Is that Jeet Kune Do?
**[04:05] Male Student 1?**
That's crazy!
**[04:05] Female Student 1**
Murao Jumpei!
**[04:08] Female Student 1**
Hurry up and get in your place!

**[04:13] Jumpei**
I've got club stuff.
**[04:14] Female Student 1**
Hey!
**[04:28] Jumpei**
*Godai Miyako's... sound.*
**[04:34] Miyako**
Ready, and...
**[04:35] Jumpei/Students**
Hidden in the shadows
of a forest of beech trees
**[04:39] Brown-Haired Student**
Jumpei's singing!
**[04:39] Jumpei/Students**
There is the rustle and murmur of a party
**[04:43] Jumpei/Students**
Torches flicker, their flames dancing
**[04:46] Jumpei**
* Kodai Miyako moved here just*
* when we became second-years.*
**[04:48] Jumpei/Students**
Leaves spread out around colorful figures
**[04:51] Jumpei**
* For some reason, the way*
* she plays piano intrigues me.*

**[05:07] Jumpei**
What is it? Why am I intrigued?
**[05:11] Jumpei**
Is it her mole?
**[05:13] Jumpei**
It's like...
**[05:16] Jumpei**
the sound of a premonition...
**[05:20] Jumpei**
What do you want, Nee-chan?!
**[05:21] Jumpei**
Knock first!
**[05:22] Nanako**
This is Dad's room, not yours.
**[05:25] Nanako**
Also, I think Mom wants to
throw away that ballet barre.
**[05:30] Nanako**
What do you think?
**[05:32] Jumpei**
Huh?
**[05:33] Jumpei**
Why are you asking me? It's yours, isn't it?
**[05:36] Nanako**
But you wanted to do ballet, didn't you?
**[05:38] Jumpei**
That was forever ago!
**[05:40] Jumpei**
It's like my dark past!
**[05:42] Jumpei**
Now I'm glad I didn't just
charge right into ballet classes!
**[05:45] Jumpei**
That would've been so lame for a boy!
**[05:49] Jumpei**
You quit ballet after you started
playing basketball, right?
**[05:52] Jumpei**
Just throw it out.
**[05:55] Nanako**
Oh? Fine, I'll tell Mom that.
**[06:07] Jumpei**
*Tingle...*
**[06:09] Jumpei**
*Sparkle...*
**[06:12] Jumpei**
*Boom!*
**[06:17] (Flashback) Nanako**
If you're gonna do ballet,
**[06:18] (Flashback) Nanako**
you gotta stretch first.
**[06:23] (Flashback) Nanako**
Do you want to do ballet, too, Jumpei?
**[06:26] (Flashback) Jumpei**
What? Boys can do it, too?!
**[06:28] (Flashback) Sawako**
I'll call them, and if they say
boys can join, then you can.
**[06:31] (Flashback) Jumpei**
I'll do it!
**[06:31] (Flashback) Ippeita**
What?
**[06:33] (Flashback) Ippeita**
You're already taking piano lessons,
**[06:35] (Flashback) Ippeita**
and you're mistaken for a girl
often enough as it is.
**[06:38] (Flashback) Ippeita**
How about something more
manly, like Jeet Kune Do?
**[06:42] (Flashback) Ippeita**
My friend does it, and—
**[07:12] (Flashback) Ippeita**
All right, fine. Give it a shot.
***SIGN*** Ballet Studio
**[07:18] (Flashback) Sawako**
Isn't it great?
**[07:19] (Flashback) Sawako**
Boys can join, too.
**[07:21] (Flashback) Jumpei**
Yeah!
**[07:22] (Flashback) Hyouta**
Hey, it's Jumpei!
**[07:23] (Flashback) Jumpei**
Hyou-chan!
**[07:24] (Flashback) Hyouta**
What're you doing?
**[07:26] (Flashback) Sawako**
Oh, Hyou-chan, are you boys on
your way back from soccer?
**[07:29] (Flashback) Boy 1**
Look at those tight tights!
**[07:30] (Flashback) Boy 1**
Isn't this a ballet school?
**[07:32] (Flashback) Boy 2**
Huh? Jumpei, are you always spinning
around 'cause you take ballet?
**[07:36] (Flashback) Boy 2**
You're a boy, though.
**[07:40] (Flashback) Boy 1**
Weirdo! Are you a girl or something?!
**[07:42] Ippeita**
*...more manly...*
**[07:46] (Flashback) Sawako**
J-Jumpei!
**[07:47] (Flashback) Boy 1**
Jumko got mad!
**[07:49] (Flashback) Sawako**
Goodness, they were just
teasing you a little.
**[07:55] (Flashback) Jumpei**
I'm gonna do ballet...
**[07:59] (Flashback) Sawako**
Okay.
**[08:04] (Flashback) Sawako**
Yes, this is Murao.
**[08:06] (Flashback) Sawako**
Huh?
**[08:09] (Flashback) Funeral Guest 1**
It was a heart attack?
**[08:11] (Flashback) Funeral Guest 2**
He was still so young...
**[08:17] (Flashback) Mioka**
Jumpei,
**[08:19] (Flashback) Mioka**
long time no see.
**[08:20] (Flashback) Jumpei**
Uncle Mioka...
**[08:22] (Flashback) Mioka**
From now on,
**[08:23] (Flashback) Mioka**
you need to protect your
big sister and your mom.
**[08:27] (Flashback) Mioka**
You're the man of the house now.

Murao Ippeita
**[08:34] (Flashback) Jumpei**
Manly...
**[08:52] Jumpei**
*"Not manly" equals "not cool"...*
**[08:57] Jumpei**
*I want... to be cool...*
**[09:15] Jumpei**
This is stupid!
**[09:18] Jumpei**
Crap, I'm gonna be late
for Jeet Kune Do again!
**[09:32] Miyako**
There you are, Murao Jumpei!
**[09:34] Jumpei**
*Wh-What?*
**[09:35] Miyako**
Oh, good. I don't know my way around
that well yet, so I wasn't sure...
**[09:36] Jumpei**
*Did she come here to see* me*?*
**[09:38] Jumpei**
*I-Is she...*
**[09:40] Jumpei**
*here to confess her feelings for me?!*
**[09:42] Miyako**
There's something I want you to try for me.
**[09:45] Jumpei**
Yes, ma'am!
**[09:47] Jumpei**
Huh?
**[09:48] Jumpei**
T-Try?
**[09:49] Miyako**
Y'know, that Jeet Kune Do thing
you did today. The flying kick?
**[09:53] Miyako**
Try doing it for me.
**[09:54] Jumpei**
Huh? Why?
**[09:57] Miyako**
*It's like, when I saw that flying kick...*
**[10:02] Miyako**
*You... You...*
**[10:06] Jumpei**
Okay! Here I go!
**[10:14] Jumpei**
Like that?
**[10:17] Miyako**
That's not as good as the one you did before.
**[10:19] Jumpei**
Huh?!
**[10:20] Miyako**
That was a ballet jump, wasn't it?
**[10:22] Miyako**
A 540.
**[10:24] Jumpei**
Wh-What're you talking about?
**[10:37] Miyako**
This is closer to a proper 540, Murao.
**[10:41] Jumpei**
*H-Her panties...*
**[10:44] Miyako**
Hey, let's do ballet together!
***SIGN*** Godai Ballet Studio
**[10:50] Miyako**
This is the Godai Ballet Studio.
**[10:52] Miyako**
It just opened in February, after my
mom left to start her own studio.
**[10:56] Miyako**
There still aren't very
many students, though.
**[10:59] Miyako**
Oh, I live upstairs.
**[11:01] Jumpei**
*Huh?!*
**[11:02] Jumpei**
* I got distracted by her panties*
* and followed her here...*
**[11:05] Jumpei**
U-Um, Godai-san,
**[11:09] Jumpei**
I'm not planning on doing ballet—
**[11:13] Miyako**
Isn't it nice?
**[11:14] Miyako**
It's still new.
**[11:21] Jumpei**
*In a place like this,*
**[11:22] Jumpei**
*no matter how much I turn or jump...*
**[11:26] Miyako**
Where do you take lessons, Murao?
**[11:28] Jumpei**
I'm not taking lessons!
**[11:29] Jumpei**
Godai-san,
**[11:31] Jumpei**
I think you're getting the wrong idea.
**[11:33] Jumpei**
I mean, ballet?
**[11:35] Junpei**
I'm a guy, you know.
**[11:36] Junpei**
Besides, I'm totally devoted to Jeet Kune Do!
**[11:38] Miyako**
Why are you lying?
**[11:40] Miyako**
That 540 you did is a ballet technique.
**[11:45] Chizuru**
Luou-kun?
**[11:48] Miyako**
Oh, Mom!
**[11:49] Jumpei**
* "Luou-kun"? I feel like I've*
* heard that name before...*
**[11:55] Chizuru**
Who's that?
**[11:56] Jumpei**
Man, she seems like a cranky old hag.
**[11:59] Miyako**
This is Murao Jumpei-kun. He's in my class.
**[12:01] Miyako**
He wants to take ballet lessons!
**[12:03] Jumpei**
Wait!
**[12:03] Miyako**
He's amazing!
**[12:05] Miyako**
He can do a 540 even though
he's never taken ballet before!
**[12:07] Jumpei**
What're you talking about?!
**[12:09] Jumpei**
There's no way I'm doing that ballet thing!
**[12:10] Miyako**
He's a prodigy!
**[12:11] Miyako**
I really think so!
**[12:13] Miyako**
You know, for the dance
federation's fall festival,
**[12:16] Miyako**
we'd stand out more if
we had a talented boy,
**[12:18] Miyako**
and besides, I want to try a pas de deux!
**[12:21] Jumpei**
*"Pas"?!*
**[12:22] Jumpei**
* If I remember right, that's when*
* a guy and girl dance together!*
**[12:25] Jumpei**
*She wants to dance with me?!*
**[12:27] Jumpei**
*She likes me for sure!*
**[12:31] Chizuru**
Huh? "Prodigy"?
**[12:33] Chizuru**
Ridiculous.
**[12:34] Chizuru**
Jumpei-kun, you're a second-year
in junior high, right?
**[12:37] Chizuru**
So you're, what, 13? 14?
**[12:39] Chizuru**
Even if you start ballet now, it's too late.
**[12:42] Chizuru**
You need to have started
by the time you were ten.
**[12:45] Chizuru**
If you didn't, you're already
outside the scope of "prodigy."
**[12:49] Chizuru**
Besides, I'm not interested in teaching
anyone who calls it "that ballet thing."
**[12:54] Chizuru**
Miyako, we're starting class,
so send him home.
**[12:57] Miyako**
But, Mom—
**[12:59] Jumpei**
That ballet thing...
**[13:01] Jumpei**
is easy!
**[13:04] Miyako**
So high!
**[13:10] Jumpei**
*I knew it!*
**[13:13] Jumpei**
*I can go all-out here!*
**[13:15] Jumpei**
*Hop and...*
**[13:17] Jumpei**
*Leap!*
**[13:23] Jumpei**
*Turn, turn...*
**[13:26] Jumpei**
*Boom!*
**[13:37] Jumpei**
*Whoa, I know this...*
**[13:40] Jumpei**
*This feeling!*
**[13:51] Chizuru**
That's not ballet.
**[14:01] Miyako**
Murao!
**[14:02] Miyako**
Wait, Murao!
**[14:04] Miyako**
Hey, wait up, Murao!
**[14:15] Chizuru**
Oh, you're still awake?
**[14:18] Miyako**
Um, Mom...
**[14:19] Miyako**
Is Murao really that bad?
**[14:23] Miyako**
His *Don Quixote*...
**[14:26] Miyako**
It's true that it was messy in places,
**[14:29] Miyako**
but it was like, "Whoosh!"
**[14:31] Miyako**
Like a gust of wind...
**[14:34] Miyako**
Was it just me? What did you think?
**[14:37] Chizuru**
Well, he needs to come on his own tomorrow.
**[14:40] Chizuru**
If he doesn't show up, that's that.
**[14:42] Miyako**
Huh?
**[14:43] Chizuru**
Come on, not getting enough
sleep will stunt your growth.
**[14:46] Chizuru**
Hurry up and go to bed.
**[14:47] Miyako**
What the heck?
**[14:49] Miyako**
Another school's going to poach him!
**[14:51] Chizuru**
Hah! That damn brat?
**[15:00] Chizuru**
That damn brat...
**[15:02] Chizuru**
After seeing that, of course
you wouldn't be able to sleep.
**[15:09] Miyako**
Luou, are you awake?
**[15:14] Miyako**
The key to the studio...
**[15:30] Chizuru**
Can you get your bellybutton
to touch the floor?
**[15:32] Chizuru**
Good, good! Make sure to point your toes.
**[15:36] Girl**
Sensei! There's a weird boy here.
**[15:40] Girl**
Should we call the police?
**[15:43] Jumpei**
Hey, old lady!
**[15:45] Jumpei**
I'm the embodiment of athletic ability!
**[15:48] Jumpei**
What's wrong with my dancing?!
**[15:51] Chizuru**
You came here to practice, right?
**[15:53] Jumpei**
N-No, I didn't!
**[15:55] Chizuru**
What you showed me before was a bit sudden.
**[15:57] Chizuru**
This time, show me what you can really do.
**[15:59] Jumpei**
Don't you mean "*Please* show me," you damn old lady?!
**[16:01] Chizuru**
Stop calling me "old lady," you damn brat!
**[16:04] Chizuru**
Okay, everyone! This boy
says he's going to dance.
**[16:07] Girl**
Aw, I don't wanna watch that!
**[16:11] Jumpei**
*Fine, I'll show you...*
**[16:14] Jumpei**
*my* Don Quixote *that I spent
all night studying!*
**[16:20] Jumpei**
Let's see...
**[16:26] Jumpei**
One, two, th—
**[16:28] Chizuru**
Stop!
**[16:29] Chizuru**
Your elbow! Back! Fingertips! Toes!
**[16:30] Jumpei**
Ow!
**[16:31] Chizuru**
Knees! Pay attention!
**[16:34] Chizuru**
You can't even stand properly.
**[16:37] Chizuru**
More! More, more, more, more!
Lengthen your spine more!
**[16:40] Chizuru**
Like this! Taller!
**[16:43] Jumpei**
Huh? You gotta stand straight
and pull yourself up, right?
**[16:45] Jumpei**
I saw online—
**[16:45] Chizuru**
Try exhaling and making your stomach hollow.
**[16:49] Chizuru**
Yes, that's good enough for the front.
**[16:52] Jumpei**
Huh?! Really, old lady?!
**[16:54] Chizuru**
You were sticking your chest out too much.
**[16:56] Chizuru**
Trying focusing on your back.
**[16:59] Chizuru**
Pretend there's someone holding you
below your navel and behind your neck.
**[17:03] Chizuru**
Open your shoulders a little more.
**[17:05] Chizuru**
Good.
**[17:06] Chizuru**
Then grow taller, and taller,
and taller, and taller...
**[17:11] Chizuru**
Good.
**[17:12] Chizuru**
Now feel yourself getting pulled higher,
until you're on your tiptoes,
**[17:15] Chizuru**
and press into the floor.
**[17:16] Jumpei**
*This is the proper posture...*
**[17:19] Jumpei**
*This is ballet!*
**[17:22] Chizuru**
Squeeze your inner thighs together!
There's so much space here.
**[17:25] Jumpei**
Old lady, you're touching me too much...
**[17:28] Chizuru**
Your neck!
**[17:33] Miyako**
Oh, good! You're here!
**[17:35] Miyako**
You weren't home, so I thought
maybe you'd gone to Jeet Kune Do.
**[17:39] Jumpei**
*This girl's definitely into me!*
**[17:43] Jumpei**
Oh, crap! Jeet Kune Do! I gotta go!
**[17:46] Chizuru**
Hey, wait.
**[17:47] Chizuru**
From now on, come every day.
**[17:49] Chizuru**
You need to be at a certain skill level
before the dance federation recital.
**[17:55] Jumpei**
Huh? Who said I'd perform in—
**[17:57] Miyako**
Oh, I'm so happy!
**[17:58] Miyako**
Let's work hard together, Murao!
**[18:00] Jumpei**
Wh-What's with this ballet studio?
**[18:03] Jumpei**
Is it a dating service?
**[18:07] Jumpei**
Anyway, does this mean...
**[18:09] Jumpei**
even now, I...
**[18:12] Jumpei**
could still...
**[18:16] Jumpei**
I'm not performing in that recital thing!
**[18:20] Jumpei**
*Crap, something's not right.*
**[18:23] Jumpei**
*I've got to be cool! Manly!*
**[18:27] Mioka**
Looking good today.
**[18:29] Mioka**
Don't get carried away.
**[18:32] Jumpei**
*This is fun! It's the best!*
**[18:35] Jumpei**
* But why don't I feel that "boom!"*
* or even that tingle?*
**[18:43] Chizuru**
Keep your middle finger long,
and bend your thumb in at the base.
**[18:47] Chizuru**
En bas, en avant, à la seconde...
**[18:52] Chizuru**
Keep your elbows up.
**[18:53] Chizuru**
En haut.
**[18:55] Teacher**
Murao, do you have a question?
**[18:57] Jumpei**
N-No!
**[18:59] Hyouta**
Jumpei!
**[19:02] Hyouta**
Where are you going?
**[19:03] Jumpei**
Hey, Hyou-chan.
**[19:06] Hyouta**
You haven't come to club at all this week.
**[19:10] Hyouta**
You had Jeet Kune Do?
**[19:12] Miyako**
Murao, you're leaving now, right?
**[19:15] Miyako**
The teacher said you need
to get the right clothes—
**[19:19] Jumpei**
Oh, right! Godai-san,
you're on class duty, right?
**[19:21] Jumpei**
I'll be at club today. Later!
**[19:26] Miyako**
You're embarrassed about doing ballet.
**[19:29] Jumpei**
Well, I've built this image, y'know...
**[19:33] Miyako**
You'll be exposed at the ballet festival.
**[19:35] Jumpei**
I told you, I'm not performing.
**[19:37] Miyako**
What? You go to the studio
every day, though.
**[19:39] Miyako**
You're getting free lessons under
the assumption that you'll perform—
**[19:42] Jumpei**
I-I didn't say anything about performing...
**[19:45] Jumpei**
Anyway, don't tell anyone.
**[19:50] Jumpei**
You know, 'cause I should tell them myself.
**[19:55] Jumpei**
*That's what I think, but...*
**[19:57] Jumpei**
*If they find out I'm doing ballet,*
**[20:00] Jumpei**
*it'll be all over.*
**[20:03] Jumpei**
Hyou-chan, what're you doing?
**[20:04] Hyouta**
Recording a video.
**[20:06] Hyouta**
I'm hoping something funny will happen.
**[20:09] Jumpei**
Huh?
**[20:10] Hyouta**
I've uploaded a bunch of stuff,
but I'm not getting many views.
**[20:14] Hyouta**
I need something funnier.
**[20:17] Hyouta**
That reminds me, summer training
camp will be August 20th and 21st.
**[20:21] Hyouta**

**[20:22] Jumpei**
Of course.
**[20:25] Jumpei**
Last year's training camp was fun, anyway.
**[20:29] Jumpei**
But I won't be able to go to
ballet during that time.
**[20:38] Chizuru**
You're late!
**[20:39] Chizuru**
You're not ready for this class,

**[20:45] Jumpei**
I'll stretch upstairs...

Jumpei, I got a call from Mioka-kun.
**[21:03] Sawako**
He says you're skipping Jeet Kune Do?
**[21:05] Sawako**
But you've been coming home
late recently. Why is that?
**[21:08] Jumpei**
I-I've got club stuff, and then I go out
with Hyou-chan and the others...
**[21:13] Sawako**
Really?
**[21:14] Sawako**
Jumpei, you told Mioka-kun that you want
to be a stunt coordinator like your dad?
**[21:20] Jumpei**
Well, I thought it'd be nice
if I could be one, I guess...
**[21:24] Sawako**
You can't decide your future
based on what your dad did.
**[21:29] Jumpei**
Where's this coming from?
**[21:31] Sawako**
Your dad's head was full
of martial arts and stunts,
**[21:36] Sawako**
but it doesn't look like it's
that way for you at all.
**[21:40] Jumpei**
Huh?
**[21:42] Jumpei**
*I thought Mom would be happy...*

**[21:58] Chizuru**
You'll be the prince.

Huh?!
**[22:00] Chizuru**
You can't get here earlier

**[22:03] Chizuru**
And I'd like to introduce myself to your
mom, so can I have her phone nu—
**[22:06] Jumpei**
You don't have to! I told her it's club stuff.
**[22:10] Jumpei**
And I'm not gonna dance
in that ballet festival.
**[22:12] Jumpei**
It's during my soccer training camp.
**[22:15] Chizuru**
Oh?
**[22:16] Chizuru**
Then quit soccer.
**[22:18] Jumpei**
Huh?!
**[22:19] Chizuru**
Soccer will make you build muscles you
don't need, and it'll be tough later.
**[22:23] Chizuru**
Besides, you don't need big muscles.
**[22:25] Jumpei**
What?! I'm talking about my club!
It's an official school activity—

Yeah? So what?

You're going to become

Are you crazy, old lady?!

I told you! I have my club, and my friends,

Stop! Stop it, old lady!

**[00:03] Miyako**
A prince named Siegfried
falls in love at first sight
**[00:05] Miyako**
with a princess named Odette,
who is cursed to be a swan.
**[00:09] Miyako**
The curse can only be broken
**[00:11] Miyako**
if someone who has never loved
before swears to love Odette.
**[00:15] Miyako**
But the prince is tricked by Rothbart,
the demon who cast the spell,
**[00:19] Miyako**
and swears his love to Rothbart's
daughter, Odile, instead.
**[00:26] Miyako**
That's basically the story of Swan Lake.
**[00:30] Miyako**
Does it make sense?
**[00:31] Jumpei**
Huh? Y-Yeah...
**[00:36] Miyako**
Let's go.

You slept well. Was it boring?
**[02:48] Jumpei**
Huh?!
**[02:50] Jumpei**
Well, no, not boring, exactly...
**[02:52] Jumpei**
It seemed like the dancers on
stage were having fun, but...
**[02:56] Jumpei**
I felt like I was being made
to watch a school recital,
**[02:58] Jumpei**
and I couldn't really take it anymore.
**[03:00] Miyako**
Who do you think you are,
**[03:02] Miyako**
saying that as you stare at your phone?!
**[03:05] Jumpei**
Um, well, a social life's
important too, y'know?
**[03:09] Jumpei**
I might get messages from
my club or something.
**[03:11] Miyako**
I would message my friends later,
**[03:13] Miyako**
and I'm in a science club because a
sports club would take too much time.
**[03:17] Miyako**
I want as much time
to practice as I can get!
**[03:21] Jumpei**
Is this under the old lady's orders?
**[03:23] Miyako**
Mom wouldn't ask for anything like that.
**[03:27] Miyako**
She's already half given up on me.
**[03:32] Friend A**
Miyako!
**[03:35] Miyako**
Oh, you guys are here, too?
**[03:38] Friend's Mom**
Hello, Miyako-chan.
**[03:39] Miyako**
Hello.
**[03:40] Miyako**
Oh, they're in my class at
Oikawa Haruka Ballet School.
**[03:44] Miyako**
I go there twice a week.
**[03:46] Miyako**
That boy's a student at my mom's school.
**[03:49] Friend A**
Lucky. He gets Chizuru-sensei.
**[03:49] Jumpei**
*"That boy"? Gross.*
**[03:51] Miyako**
My mom used to teach at Oikawa.
**[03:56] Friend A**
But you know...
**[03:58] Friend A**
He doesn't *look* like the type to do ballet.
**[04:00] Miyako**
Oh, maybe it's because he just started.
**[04:04] Friend A**
Really? It's pretty amazing to start at his age.
**[04:05] Jumpei**
*It's fine. I don't care.*
**[04:09] Jumpei**
* I'm the only one wearing*

Whew, that surprised me!
**[05:40] Miyako**
And after you called it a school recital...
**[05:43] Jumpei**
The demon...
**[05:45] Miyako**
You mean Rothbart?
**[05:46] Jumpei**
Yeah. And the princess and the prince.
**[05:52] Jumpei**
Why were the three of them different?
**[05:56] Miyako**
Um...
**[05:58] Miyako**
They're all amazing, though. It's one
of Japan's top ballet companies.
**[06:03] Miyako**
Well, those three especially.
**[06:05] Miyako**
They're either star dancers with the company
or guest dancers from abroad...
**[06:09] Jumpei**
Oh... I see.
**[06:11] Jumpei**
Sorry, you can head home without me.
**[06:14] Jumpei**
*I don't care about the reason.*

*I want to try*

*With the impression I have of Godai,*
**[07:03] Jumpei**
*she reminds me more of Princess Odette...*
**[07:13] Miyako**
Hey, let's dance together.
**[07:29] Jumpei**
That's weird...
**[07:31] Jumpei**
The prince lifted her so easily...
**[07:39] Miyako**
Not even you can do a lift
without any training.
**[07:44] Miyako**
When I said "let's dance together,"
I meant at the ballet festival.
**[07:50] Miyako**

Huh?

Oh, that was... Um, I thought
I could do it because I'm the prince.

You need muscle for high lifts,

Your eyes are so light-colored.
**[15:41] Jumpei**
Are you a foreigner?
**[15:43] Chizuru**

And,

Jumpei is the prince.

*I don't really get it,*

* but I'm the prince*
* because I'm better, right?*

Don't make your fingers into claws.

**[17:34] Miyako**
Yeah.
**[17:35] Miyako**
He had a really strict teacher...
**[17:38] Miyako**
But Luou started saying
he wanted to quit ballet.
**[17:42] Jumpei**
What?! But he's so good!
**[17:44] Jumpei**
Why would he—
**[17:46] Miyako**
Right?! That's how I feel, too!
**[17:51] Miyako**
Sorry about how Luou was acting earlier.
**[17:55] Miyako**
He's not good at interacting with others.
**[17:59] Miyako**
Kind of your opposite, Jumpei.
**[18:02] Miyako**
There are always people laughing
and having fun around you.
**[18:07] Miyako**
When I see that,
**[18:10] Miyako**
I think, "That's nice."
**[18:13] Jumpei**
* Hey, what kind of look do you*
* have on your face right now?*
**[18:17] Miyako**
And then you did that 540 jump.
**[18:20] Miyako**
When I saw that, I thought
**[18:22] Miyako**
maybe you could be friends with Luou...
**[18:25] Miyako**
And you two could work together...
**[18:35] Jumpei**
Oh, you invited me to do ballet with you
**[18:38] Jumpei**
so I could be Luou's friend...
**[18:41] Jumpei**
*It was for Luou's sake.*
**[18:43] Miyako**
Yeah!
**[18:44] Miyako**
I thought if it was you...
**[18:48] Jumpei**
You like Luou?
**[19:01] Miyako**
What?!
**[19:02] Miyako**
Oh, please! What are you saying?
**[19:05] Miyako**
We're cousins! I'm just worried
about him, that's all.
**[19:10] Miyako**
*He's a prodigy! I really think so!*
**[19:12] Miyako**
*Let's dance together.*
**[19:20] Miyako**
Huh?

Jumpei?
**[19:30] Miyako**
Why haven't you been coming to the studio?
**[19:33] Jumpei**
Huh?
**[19:35] Jumpei**
I only skipped for two or three days.
**[19:38] Jumpei**
I still have club and Jeet Kune Do, too.
**[19:41] Miyako**
My mom says she wants to do the
choreography for the ballet festival.
**[19:45] Jumpei**

What a pretty name.
**[00:27] Class 1 Teacher**
It's read differently,
**[00:29] Class 1 Teacher**
but it evokes the image of a Japanese

**[00:33] Class 1 Teacher**

I'll bet you're curious since
he lives with Godai-san.
**[04:01] Jumpei**

* Looks like no one's figured out*
* that I do ballet yet...*
**[04:07] Hyouta**
What's with that guy, anyway?
**[04:08] Hyouta**
He doesn't respond,
even when I ask him a question.
**[04:16] (Flashback) Luou**
It's obvious that I'd make a
better prince than him, right?
**[04:20] (Flashback) Luou**
What part of this little
wild monkey is a noble?
**[04:25] Jumpei**
I know, right? I can't be friends
with someone like him.
**[04:31] Soccer Club Member A**
How would you know?
You've never even talked to him.
**[04:35] Jumpei**
Huh? I can just tell!
**[04:36] Jumpei**
My instinct for this kinda stuff is great!
**[04:42] Hyouta**
I agree... He's not the type
you can be friends with.
**[04:51] Hyouta**
Luou-kun! Hey!
**[04:58] Hyouta**
What, ignoring me again?
**[05:01] Hyouta**
Or do you not understand Japanese?
**[05:04] Hyouta**
Good moaning!
**[05:06] Hyouta**
Hey, good moaning!
**[05:09] Soccer Club Member A**
Maybe it's 'cause your pronunciation's
trash. Good *moaning*?
**[05:14] Soccer Club Member B**
Moaning, moaning!

Moaning, mo, moaning?
**[05:33] Jumpei**
* He's been coming to school*
* for a few days now,*
**[05:37] Jumpei**
* but it looks like he hasn't told*
* anyone about me doing ballet.*
**[05:40] Jumpei**
* Or is it because he doesn't actually*
* recognize what I'm doing as ballet?*
**[05:48] Jumpei**
*Oh, Hyou-chan.*
**[05:50] Hyouta**
This is apple! Apple!
**[05:54] Hyouta**

When you hit "like" the other day,
Hyou-chan's eyes shone.
**[06:09] Jumpei**
Huh? What?!
**[06:10] Kuroshima**
Well, Hyou-chan's had
stress building up, too.
**[06:13] Kuroshima**
Y'know, since his family's so strict?
**[06:15] Kuroshima**
And Luou-kun has that
weirdly hostile attitude,
**[06:16] Soccer Club Member A**
How are you?
**[06:18] Soccer Club Member A**
I'm fine, thank you, thank you!
**[06:19] Kuroshima**
but he doesn't retaliate...
**[06:21] Kuroshima**
Makes him easy prey.
**[06:24] Jumpei**
*Huh?*
**[06:26] Soccer Club Member A**
Okay!
**[06:33] Jumpei**
*Was he like that before, too?*
**[06:36] Jumpei**
*When I saw him in the studio, he acted...*
**[06:39] Jumpei**
*bolder.*
**[06:42] Jumpei**
* With just one stroke of his arm,*
* he could tell a story...*

* Man, is this the difference it makes*

What're you talking about out of nowhere?
**[19:55] Jumpei**
It's not out of nowhere.
**[19:57] Jumpei**
I've always wanted to do ballet.
**[19:59] Jumpei**
I don't know why, either.
**[20:02] Jumpei**
But I'm always thinking about it.
**[20:05] Jumpei**
I'd always hoped I was just imagining it.

But...
**[20:15] Jumpei**
*Being "manly"...*

Also, here.
**[02:24] Jumpei**
It's a box of sweets and monthly tuition...
**[02:26] Jumpei**
My mother told me to bring them.
**[02:30] (Flashback) Sawako**
Ballet?
**[02:32] (Flashback) Sawako**
You should do it.
**[02:33] (Flashback) Jumpei**
Huh?!
**[02:34] (Flashback) Sawako**
I knew already. Your sister told me.
**[02:38] (Flashback) Sawako**
And I know your dad is pleased
**[02:39] (Flashback) Sawako**
that you thought about what
he said for eight years.
**[02:47] Chizuru**
Okay.
**[02:48] Chizuru**
Stand in fifth position.
**[02:50] Chizuru**
Like a prince.
**[03:01] Chizuru**
Oh? You look like a very dignified prince.
**[03:06] Chizuru**
Are you visualizing something?
**[03:08] Jumpei**
Char.
**[03:11] Chizuru**
Usually someone replies with a dancer's name.
**[03:14] Jumpei**
You know,
**[03:15] Jumpei**
I don't really care about being a prince,
and I've got a shaved head, too.
**[03:20] Jumpei**
I'd rather dance as Rothbart.
**[03:23] Jumpei**
I don't understand why Luou's so
hung up about being the prince...
**[03:28] Jumpei**
Ma'am.
**[03:32] Chizuru**
The "danseur noble."
**[03:35] Chizuru**
That's what a dancer who's qualified
to take on the prince's part is called.
**[03:40] Chizuru**
The "prince" is a kind of pinnacle.
**[03:44] Chizuru**
To dance the part of the prince,
**[03:45] Chizuru**
you need a certain physical
appearance, skill, acting ability,
**[03:48] Chizuru**
charisma, musicality, grace,
and support ability.
**[03:52] Chizuru**
Only someone who has all those qualities
**[03:56] Chizuru**
is allowed to play the part of the prince.
**[03:59] Chizuru**
It's territory that can't be
reached by hard work alone.
**[04:04] Jumpei**
If I become the prince, will I only
be able to dance that part?
**[04:09] Chizuru**
Didn't you hear what I said? It's a pinnacle.
**[04:12] Chizuru**
If you're able to dance as the prince
and also master character roles,
**[04:17] Chizuru**
then you can dance any part.
**[04:20] Chizuru**
Well, but it would be impossible for you
to dance the part of the prince
**[04:25] Chizuru**
at a top company in Russia,
the nation of ballet.
**[04:29] Jumpei**
Oh?
**[04:33] Jumpei**
That's what I'll do, then.
**[04:35] Chizuru**
Huh?
**[04:35] Jumpei**
I said,
**[04:37] Jumpei**
I'll become a danseur noble in Russia.
**[04:50] Chizuru**
Bold talk for a kid with a shaved head!
**[04:52] Jumpei**
I'm serious about this!
**[04:54] Jumpei**
H-Hey! Don't laugh, old lady!
**[05:04] Female Student**
Wow, what's that?
**[05:05] Class 2 Teacher**

**[05:06] Class 2 Teacher**

Bold talk for a kid with a shaved head!
**[05:41] (Flashback) Jumpei**
I'm serious about this!
**[05:44] (Flashback) Chizuru**
What a foolish pipe dream!
**[05:47] (Flashback) Chizuru**
At the top ballet schools in Russia,
**[05:50] (Flashback) Chizuru**
the nation of ballet,
**[05:52] (Flashback) Chizuru**
only about 30 boys are accepted
out of thousands who apply.
**[05:57] (Flashback) Chizuru**
In addition, for the next eight years,
exams weed them out between levels,
**[06:00] (Flashback) Chizuru**
and less than half are left by graduation.
**[06:03] (Flashback) Chizuru**
After that,
**[06:04] (Flashback) Chizuru**
only a handful of dancers are able to
join world-class ballet companies
**[06:09] (Flashback) Chizuru**
like the Mariinsky or Bolshoi companies.
**[06:11] (Flashback) Chizuru**
For a Japanese man to
become danseur noble there
**[06:14] (Flashback) Chizuru**
is like a dream within a dream.
**[06:16] (Flashback) Jumpei**
Seriously?
**[06:18] (Flashback) Chizuru**
I can't believe you'd say that after
taking lessons for barely a month.
**[06:22] (Flashback) Chizuru**
Really, it's crazy.
**[06:27] (Flashback) Chizuru**
The first time you danced here,
**[06:31] (Flashback) Chizuru**
I also saw the same pipe dream for you!
**[06:49] (Flashback) Jumpei**
Right?
**[06:51] (Flashback) Chizuru**
Hold on to the barre.
**[06:52] (Flashback) Jumpei**
Huh?
**[06:54] (Flashback) Chizuru**
Point your toes.
**[06:57] (Flashback) Chizuru**
You really have amazing foot structure.
**[07:00] (Flashback) Chizuru**
You have long arms and legs.
And long fingers, too.
**[07:03] (Flashback) Chizuru**
You have big feet and a high instep,
which is good for ballet.
**[07:06] (Flashback) Chizuru**
And a small head and long neck.
**[07:10] (Flashback) Chizuru**
Plus, your face...
**[07:11] (Flashback) Chizuru**
isn't too bad, when you don't talk.
**[07:13] (Flashback) Chizuru**
You actually have what it takes to go pro.
**[07:16] (Flashback) Jumpei**
But that's all just what I look like.
**[07:20] (Flashback) Chizuru**
Oh? Ballet mainly depends
on the raw material.
**[07:24] (Flashback) Chizuru**
You must have a silhouette suited for ballet.
**[07:28] (Flashback) Chizuru**
The only part of your body
I'm concerned about...
**[07:31] (Flashback) Chizuru**
is your height.
**[07:32] (Flashback) Jumpei**
Nah, I'll be fine!
**[07:35] (Flashback) Jumpei**
My dad was tall!
**[07:38] (Flashback) Chizuru**
You were probably always very athletic,
**[07:42] (Flashback) Chizuru**
but your core strength and flexibility are
probably thanks to Jeet Kune Do, right?
**[07:47] (Flashback) Chizuru**
It makes me want to thank
your Jeet Kune Do teacher.
**[07:51] Jumpei**
* I need to go apologize*
* properly to Uncle Mioka.*
**[08:06] Miyako**
Oh, I'm so glad!
**[08:09] Jumpei**
Huh? About what?
**[08:11] Miyako**
I thought you weren't going
to do ballet anymore.
**[08:16] Miyako**
I couldn't sort out my feelings,
**[08:20] Miyako**
and it made me sulky. Sorry about that.
**[08:22] Jumpei**
*Uh... Huh?*
**[08:25] Jumpei**
Uh, well... not about that...
**[08:29] Jumpei**
*Was I just being used?*
**[08:34] Jumpei**
Y-You can feel it if you want.
**[08:37] Jumpei**
The short hair's pretty fun to touch.
**[08:44] Jumpei**
*Ballet...*
**[08:46] Jumpei**
*is the best!*
**[08:51] Luou**
How ridiculous.
**[08:59] Chizuru**
Okay, Miyako, practice
the choreography for Swan Lake.
**[09:02] Chizuru**
Jumpei, continue your barre work.
**[09:04] Jumpei**
What? Again?!
**[09:06] Jumpei**
I did barre work all day yesterday, too!
**[09:10] Jumpei**
It's less than two months
until the performance, right?
**[09:12] Chizuru**
You can move on once you can
do the barre work properly.
**[09:15] Jumpei**
You don't do barre on stage!
**[09:18] Jumpei**
I've already learned
the prince's choreography!
**[09:34] Chizuru**
As usual, I wouldn't call
that ballet. It's an eyesore.
**[09:40] Chizuru**
For example, with your pirouette...
**[09:42] Chizuru**
You're not turning out enough,
so you're crooked going in,
**[09:45] Chizuru**
and end up using brute force to turn.
**[09:47] Jumpei**
What? Really?!
**[09:49] Chizuru**
Try turning while focusing
on keeping your turnout.
**[09:51] Chizuru**
Don't let it go for even an instant.
**[09:55] Jumpei**
*Turning's easy.*
**[09:57] Jumpei**
* I don't think something like that*
* would make a difference.*
**[10:08] Chizuru**
See? You can't even complete one turn.
**[10:11] Jumpei**
What?! No way!
**[10:13] Chizuru**
If you want to do ballet,
**[10:15] Chizuru**
you're not allowed to dance
whatever you want anymore.
**[10:19] Jumpei**
Th-That one just now didn't
count. One more time!
**[10:24] Chizuru**
You're crooked.
**[10:25] Jumpei**
What? It was just a little...
**[10:28] Jumpei**
Isn't it fine as long as I can turn?
**[10:30] Chizuru**
It's not fine.
**[10:31] Chizuru**
It's not just turns.
**[10:33] Chizuru**
All of ballet uses a set of basic movements,
**[10:37] Chizuru**
and even difficult techniques are
just applications of the basics.
**[10:41] Chizuru**
If you don't get rid of the bad habits you
picked up while dancing on your own
**[10:44] Chizuru**
and nail down the correct,
basic movements,
**[10:47] Chizuru**
then what you're doing
can't be called "ballet."
**[10:51] Chizuru**
For those like Miyako and Luou,
**[10:53] Chizuru**
who have had the basics drilled
into them since they were young,
**[10:56] Chizuru**
ballet movements have become
part of their bodies.
**[10:59] Chizuru**
There are more than ten years
between them and your bad habits.
**[11:05] Chizuru**
Incorrect movements will lead to injury, too.
**[11:08] Chizuru**
Doesn't your knee hurt?
**[11:10] Jumpei**
No, it doesn't!
**[11:11] Chizuru**
What's with that face?
**[11:13] Chizuru**
Embarrassment and stubbornness
are enemies of growth.
**[11:16] Chizuru**
So, what should you be doing right now?
**[11:21] Girls**
Hey, hey!
**[11:22] Chizuru**
Okay, now, ignore the boy
who has to practice late.
**[11:28] Chizuru**
You're humming too loud!
**[11:30] Chizuru**
Jumpei, don't join the class
without permission!
**[11:34] Chizuru**
Here.
**[11:35] Chizuru**
These are full-soled shoes.
**[11:37] Chizuru**
These will help work the
bottom of your feet more.
**[11:45] Chizuru**
Clean up and put the key in the mailbox.
**[11:48] Jumpei**
I can't move...
**[11:52] Jumpei**
Hey, Chizuru-san, there's only a month left.
**[11:57] Jumpei**
Please teach me the choreography.
**[12:00] Jumpei**
I want to dance.
**[12:02] Jumpei**
I want to jump.
**[12:04] Jumpei**
I want to turn.
**[12:06] Jumpei**
Chizuru-san...
**[12:09] Chizuru**
You can learn the choreography later.
**[12:10] Chizuru**
Once you've got the basics,
the dance will come easily.
**[12:14] Chizuru**
Jumpei.
**[12:17] Chizuru**
Once the basics become second nature,
**[12:19] Chizuru**
you'll be able to dance more freely.
**[12:24] Chizuru**
Luou-kun, you didn't eat dinner, did you?
**[12:28] Chizuru**
You're just eating junk food, aren't you?
**[12:32] Chizuru**
Oh, your grandmother sent a postcard.
**[12:40] Chizuru**
What about your contract with me?
**[12:46] Jumpei (song)**
Bor-ing, te-di-ous,
ne-ver-end-ing barre work...
**[12:52] Jumpei**
*This is like being forced into a ballet mold.*
**[12:57] Jumpei**
* Dancing more freely instead*

**[13:09] Chizuru**
Luou, you want to study abroad at an overseas
ballet school under famous teachers.
**[13:15] Chizuru**
To do that, you need to dance in overseas

**[13:27] Chizuru**
go to school and win MVP
at the ballet festival.
**[13:33] Chizuru**
To do that, you need
to participate in lesso—
**[13:35] Luou**
I...
**[13:37] Luou**
don't think I can study under you, after all.
**[13:41] Luou**
I can't bear to stand on the same
stage as that wild monkey.
**[13:44] Luou**
*He* wants to be a Bolshoi or
Mariinsky danseur noble?
**[13:50] Luou**
How ridiculous!
**[13:53] Chizuru**
You don't like it?
**[13:57] Chizuru**
Didn't your grandmother want
the same thing for you?
**[14:11] (Flashback) Kozuru**
Mazuru could do it in one try!
**[14:14] (Flashback) Kozuru**
Mazuru could do it more beautifully!
**[14:18] (Flashback) Kozuru**
Mazuru could...
**[14:24] Miyako**
The key to the studio?
**[14:30] Miyako**
It's not on the dresser?
**[14:33] Miyako**
Maybe someone stayed late.
**[14:35] Miyako**
The mailbox, then...
**[14:37] Miyako**
Huh? It's not there.
**[14:41] Miyako**
Luou?!
**[14:49] Miyako**
Oh, is this the music from *Don Quixote*?
**[15:22] Miyako**
Jumpei?!
**[15:24] Miyako**
You can't dance without permission!
**[15:26] Luou**
Miyako, he's just doing barre work.
**[15:34] Miyako**
Jumpei?!
**[15:39] Miyako**
Was he doing this all night?
**[15:42] Miyako**
There's no way, right?
**[15:45] Luou**
They're worn out.
**[15:47] Miyako**
No way! That's impossible!
**[15:49] Miyako**
He hasn't even had those shoes for a month.
**[15:53] Miyako**
It wasn't just one night...
**[15:57] Miyako**
They wouldn't have ended up like that
unless he's been dancing every night.
**[16:07] Jumpei**
Oh, welcome back. I'm leaving now.
**[16:11] Sawako**
Oh, my. This is when you've been leaving?
**[16:14] Sawako**
I was just thinking that when I wake up,
all I'm left with is a ton of laundry.
**[16:19] Jumpei**
My teacher keeps nagging me about
sleeping at least four hours a night,
**[16:22] Jumpei**
so I'm home then.
**[16:24] Sawako**
I know it's summer vacation,
but is this really okay?
**[16:27] Jumpei**
It's fine.
**[16:28] Jumpei**
When I hear the music, I don't need to sleep.
**[16:31] Sawako**
It wasn't you I was worried about.
**[16:34] Sawako**
Ever since you were little,
**[16:36] Sawako**
you never slept much. I never
knew what to do with you.
**[16:39] Sawako**
But aren't you causing trouble for your teacher?
**[16:43] Miyako**
Mom, you look... older...
**[16:46] Jumpei**
You don't have to stay
with me the whole time.
**[16:49] Chizuru**
It'd be a waste if you practiced
the movements wrong.
**[16:52] Chizuru**
Well, I guess it's about time
you tried the pas de deux.
**[16:58] Jumpei**
Yes! Finally!
**[17:01] Jumpei**
I already know the choreography!
**[17:04] Jumpei**
I've been watching you two dancing it!
**[17:08] Chizuru**
Okay, then, why don't you try it?
**[17:15] Chizuru**
Okay, music start.
**[17:19] Chizuru**
You come to the lake to hunt swans for fun,
**[17:25] Chizuru**
but instead of a swan, a girl
appears, and she's your type.
**[17:31] Miyako**
"Type"?
**[17:36] Chizuru**
That's it. Jumpei, don't get embarrassed.
**[17:39] Chizuru**
You're the prince, after all.
**[17:42] Chizuru**
You're full of curiosity.
You're innocent and confident.
**[17:45] Chizuru**
You don't know what it means
for people to dislike you.
**[17:48] Chizuru**
You're a 14-year-old prince.
**[17:50] Jumpei**
*Oh, man!*
**[17:53] Jumpei**
*What is this?*
**[17:55] Jumpei**
*What are you?*
**[17:57] Jumpei**
*This sound of premonition... won't go away!*
**[18:03] Jumpei**
*Hey, tell me.*
**[18:05] Jumpei**
* Tell me a secret you've never*
* told anyone else before.*
**[18:10] Jumpei**
* Look, it's like the world is changing*
* from where we touch.*
**[18:26] Jumpei**
*Tell me.*
**[18:28] Jumpei**
*What'll happen if I touch you more?*
**[18:32] Chizuru**
That's enough.
**[18:34] Chizuru**
Wow, you really do know the choreography.
**[18:37] Chizuru**
Your acting was very good, too.
**[18:40] Jumpei**
*Well, I'm not sure I was acting...*
**[18:42] Chizuru**
Miyako, you seemed to be
put off by the excited prince,
**[18:45] Chizuru**
but that naïveté was fine, too.
**[18:47] Miyako**
Wha—
**[18:48] Jumpei**
"Put off"...
**[18:49] Miyako**
It wasn't that I was put off!
**[18:51] Miyako**
I was just... surprised...
**[18:55] Chizuru**
But you forgot the basics!
**[18:56] Chizuru**
Your fingers were sloppy,
and you didn't pull up your knees.
**[18:59] Chizuru**
That's what happens when you
cram everything in so fast.
**[19:02] Chizuru**
For the upcoming performance,
**[19:04] Chizuru**
prioritize getting the fine positioning
right, instead of the acting.
**[19:08] Chizuru**
You'll be compared when
dancing with Luou especially,
**[19:10] Chizuru**
and the flaws in your dancing will stand out.
**[19:15] Jumpei**
When is he going to come to practice?
**[19:21] Jumpei**
*Of course, he's probably avoiding me...*
**[19:41] Jumpei**
Oh, you're here!
**[19:45] Jumpei**
Hey, wait a minute!
**[19:47] Jumpei**
You know the part where Rothbart
and the prince dance together?
**[19:50] Jumpei**
Do it with me.
**[19:52] Jumpei**
I'll go home after that.
**[20:00] Jumpei**
Oh, this is when they're fighting, right?
**[20:04] Jumpei**
You'll dance in the festival, right?
**[20:07] Jumpei**
Whoa...
**[20:16] Jumpei**
Was there a move like that
in the choreography?
**[20:23] Luou**
Go home, wild monkey.
**[20:26] Jumpei**
Hey...
**[20:29] Jumpei**
Why did you dance in the gym?
**[20:32] Jumpei**
It's amazing, you know?
**[20:34] Jumpei**
You've got like, a fan club now,
**[20:37] Jumpei**
and the video from it is super popular.
**[20:39] Jumpei**
Everything changed because
of that whole thing!
**[20:41] Luou**
Nothing's changed.
**[20:44] Luou**
Those guys lost interest in me
because you distracted them.
**[20:50] Jumpei**
What?!
**[20:52] Luou**
Were you trying to force your
sickening "justice" on me?
**[20:55] Luou**
It would've been better if they'd
just kept making fun of me!
**[20:58] Jumpei**
That's not it!
**[20:59] Jumpei**
That's not it at all!
**[21:02] Jumpei**
Your dancing actually reached them, too!
**[21:06] Jumpei**
At least, I was able to tell them back then...
**[21:10] Junpei**
and I'm here right now because...
**[21:15] Junpei**
Because when you danced,
it ended up changing my life!
**[21:20] Jumpei**
That's why, you bastard...
**[21:24] Jumpei**
In other words, um...
**[21:29] Jumpei**
Thanks.
**[21:37] Jumpei**
Anyway, I said what I wanted to say,
**[21:39] Jumpei**
so I'm gonna go now!
**[21:42] Jumpei**
Oh, one more thing.
**[21:45] Jumpei**
It's true that I'm a wild monkey
compared to you,
**[21:49] Jumpei**
and I'm knee-deep in basic training.
**[21:53] Jumpei**
But you know,
**[21:55] Jumpei**
while you keep hiding in your room,
**[21:58] Jumpei**
I'm gonna get better than you.

***SIGN*** Act 5: "I Can't Die Now"
**[03:21] Miyako**
In the second half of *Swan Lake*,
**[03:25] Miyako**
Prince Siegfried is tricked
by the demon Rothbart
**[03:27] Miyako**
and betrays Princess Odette.
**[03:31] Miyako**
He goes to the lake to apologize,
**[03:33] Miyako**
and the princess forgives him even
as the other swans try to stop her.
**[03:38] Miyako**
Then Rothbart creates a storm
and comes to kill the prince.
**[03:43] Miyako**
Princess Odette can't go back
to her original form
**[03:47] Miyako**
and throws herself into the lake,
**[03:49] Miyako**
so the prince kills himself to follow her.
**[03:51] Jumpei**
What?
**[03:52] Miyako**
But because of their love, Rothbart dies!
**[03:56] Jumpei**
He was fine a minute ago, though!
**[03:58] Miyako**
And then the two lovers lived happily
ever after in the next world. Clap, clap.
**[04:03] Jumpei**
What?!
**[04:04] Miyako**
Shh!
**[04:06] Miyako**
*Swan Lake* has a lot of different endings.
**[04:09] Miyako**
And the version we're doing is different
from what other studios are doing.
**[04:13] Jumpei**
That's not what I'm surprised about!
**[04:14] Jumpei**
Is it really okay for *Swan Lake*
to have such a dumb story?!

Shh!

Dressing Room
**[05:44] Jumpei**
Hey.
**[05:45] Jumpei**
Isn't this dumb?
**[05:47] Jumpei**
Doesn't it turn into a school recital
when I get on stage?
**[05:51] Jumpei**
It's already a dumb story,
**[05:55] Jumpei**
but isn't this just torturing the audience?
**[05:57] Chizuru**
"Audience," huh?
**[05:59] Jumpei**
What?
**[06:00] Chizuru**
Well, there are a lot of ballets with
stories that make you go, "Huh?"
**[06:08] Chizuru**
But the dancers get into character and
dig deep to make them interesting.
**[06:14] Chizuru**
That's why, even if you can describe
*Swan Lake* in a sentence or two,
**[06:18] Chizuru**
with the number of dancers
and directors there are
**[06:21] Chizuru**
and how you can combine them,
it can be staged in infinite ways.
**[06:28] Chizuru**
In addition, since these
performances are live,
**[06:31] Chizuru**
even if the same person performs
under the same conditions,
**[06:34] Chizuru**
no two performances
will be exactly the same.
**[06:39] Jumpei**
My top half will be *Barry Lyndon*!
**[06:42] Jumpei**
My bottom half will be *A Clockwork Orange*!
**[06:45] Jumpei**
I'm head-to-toe Stanley Kubrick!
**[06:49] Jumpei**
If I think about it that way,
**[06:50] Jumpei**
I could even call this costume cool!
**[06:53] Jumpei**
So part of getting into character
is finding similarities within yourself?
**[06:58] Chizuru**
You watch a lot of movies, huh?
**[07:01] Chizuru**
Well, I'm sure you can give an interesting
performance with your acting.
**[07:07] Chizuru**
That said!
**[07:08] Chizuru**
You're not at that point yet!
**[07:10] Jumpei**
R-R-Right!
**[07:11] Chizuru**
No matter how in-character you are,
**[07:14] Chizuru**
at your age, people will notice if you
neglect the basics, and that'll spoil it.
**[07:19] Chizuru**
Then it really *will* be worse than
a school recital. Unthinkable!
**[07:25] Jumpei**
I'll do... my best...
**[07:28] Chizuru**
Okay, everyone! I'm going to take
a group picture, so gather together!
**[07:31] Girls**
Okay!
**[07:33] Chizuru**
Hey, didn't I say no snacking

**[07:37] Chizuru**

**[07:38] Girl**
I want one!
**[07:40] Mom**
It's amazing that he looks so good in that!
**[07:41] Jumpei**
*This guy's right out of* The Dark Knight*!*
**[07:45] Jumpei**
No fair! I wanna be the Dark Knight!
**[07:47] Moms**
Look this way!
**[07:48] Moms**
Okay!
**[07:48] Luou**
Be quiet.
**[07:50] Moms**
Say cheese!
**[07:52] Chizuru**
Okay, that's enough.
**[07:58] Chizuru**
Everyone, it's almost time to take the stage.
**[08:02] Chizuru**
You've all practiced really, really hard.
**[08:09] Chizuru**
You worked so very hard,
and you've all improved drastically.
**[08:16] Chizuru**
I'm incredibly proud of all of you.

**[09:25] Miyako**

**[09:38] Miyako**
I didn't think you fit the image of a prince.
**[09:42] Jumpei**
Huh? Yeah, I figured.
**[09:44] Miyako**
But your prince still had
the essence of royalty
**[09:48] Miyako**
while being new and interesting!
**[09:50] Jumpei**
Liar. It weirded you out, didn't it?
**[09:55] Miyako**

**[10:00] Miyako**
I mean, I know that it's acting.
**[10:04] Jumpei**
Huh?
**[10:06] Miyako**
I know that, but...
**[10:10] Miyako**
It was the first time a boy
looked at me so earnestly.
**[10:20] Miyako**
*I was just surprised...*
**[10:26] Miyako**
D-Don't look at me!

He's not paying attention to any of the basics
Chizuru-sensei warned him about.
**[13:03] Yuria's Mom**
It's hard to watch.
**[13:05] Yuria's Mom**
Someone with a trained eye would
think the studio's standards are low.
**[13:10] Mom A**
That's Yuria-chan's mom for you!
**[13:12] Mom A**
You used to study ballet, didn't you?
**[13:15] Yuria's Mom**
And compared to him... Look.
**[13:24] Yuria's Mom**
Luou-kun's on a completely different level.
**[13:27] Mom A/B**
You're right!
**[13:28] Mom A/B**
He is!
**[13:30] Yuria's Mom**
No matter how you look at it,
Luou-kun is the MVP.
**[13:34] Hyouta**
*I guess he really is amazing.*
**[13:36] Hyouta**
*But even more than Jumpei,*
**[13:39] Hyouta**
* he's the one who looks like*
* a different person.*
**[13:44] Mom B**
Maybe it's just because I don't
know much about ballet,
**[13:48] Mom B**
but when Jumpei-kun comes out,
it's kind of exciting, in a way.
**[14:08] Chizuru**
Jumpei! You're not paying attention
to anything I told you!
**[14:12] Chizuru**
The basics are more important
than the acting!
**[14:16] Chizuru**
You're not listening, are you?
**[14:18] Jumpei**
*C'mon! I wanna go!*
**[14:21] Jumpei**
*I wanna go out there!*
**[14:24] Chizuru**
Okay, fine. At least go and die gracefully.
**[14:28] Jumpei**
*I belong out there!*
**[14:30] Jumpei**
*Come on...*
**[14:32] Jumpei**
*Come on!*
**[14:46] Jumpei**
*Odette!*
**[14:47] Jumpei**
*Where are you, Odette?!*
**[14:56] Kuroshima**
Everyone's focused on Jumpei now!
**[15:01] Hyouta**
*I'm excited...*
**[15:09] Jumpei**
*Odette!*
**[15:11] Jumpei**
* The first girl I chose myself,*
* disobeying the queen!*
**[15:18] Jumpei**
*And yet...*
**[15:21] Jumpei**
*How powerless and foolish I am!*
**[16:03] Jumpei**
*Oh, I wanted to at least be faithful to you.*
**[16:13] Jumpei**
* So even death will be a rite that*
* makes a moment with you eternal.*
**[16:21] Jumpei**
*Odette...*
**[16:23] Jumpei**
*I'm sorry...*
**[16:27] (Flashback) Miyako**
Prince.
**[16:31] (Flashback) Miyako**
It was the first time a boy
looked at me so earnestly.
**[16:40] Jumpei**
*My... first girl!*
**[16:47] Chizuru**
Okay, little swans.
**[16:50] Chizuru**
Cover up the prince and
princess, and do your dance.
**[16:54] Girls**
Okay.
**[16:56] Girl A**
But Sensei,
**[16:57] Girl A**
the prince came back to life!
**[17:03] Jumpei**
I can't...
**[17:06] Jumpei**
die now!
**[17:15] Yuria's Mom**
Why did Jumpei-kun stand back up?!
**[17:21] Luou**
*Why is the monkey coming back to life?*
**[17:25] Luou**
*What is he thinking?*
**[17:29] Chizuru**
Kill... him... now!
**[17:33] Luou**
*This is why...*
**[17:35] Luou**
* I didn't want to stand on the same*
* stage with someone like him!*
**[17:40] Audience B**
That surprised me!
**[17:41] Audience C**
Boys' ballet is really powerful...
**[17:48] Luou**
The next time I throw you,
**[17:50] Luou**
make sure you die!
**[17:53] Luou**
*Hey!*
**[17:54] Luou**
*Die!*
**[17:58] Hyouta**
Jumpei jumped higher!
**[17:59] Yuria's Mom**
Higher doesn't mean better.
**[18:03] Luou**
*Stop messing around!*
**[18:06] Luou**
*I'm better than you!*
**[18:09] Luou**
*I'll defeat you, completely and utterly!*
**[18:13] Audience F**
Rothbart's so fast!
**[18:15] Audience F**
He's catching up to the prince!
**[18:27] Audience G**
Behind him!
**[18:33] Luou**
*Why is he getting in my way?*
**[18:38] Yuria's Mom**
What?
**[18:39] Yuria's Mom**
What's going on? The song's about to end!
**[18:43] Jumpei**
I'm not satisfied ye—
**[18:49] Jumpei**
*Oh.*
**[18:51] Jumpei**
*This...*
**[18:53] Jumpei**
*In front of me...*
**[18:56] Jumpei**
* is a pure, endless embodiment of*
* loathing that won't listen to reason...*
**[19:07] Audience H**
That's...
**[19:09] Audience H**
a demon...
**[19:12] Jumpei**
*I can't win!*
**[19:24] Luou**
*Serves you right.*
**[19:26] Luou**
*Serves you right!*
**[19:28] Luou**
*You, and you,*
**[19:29] Luou**
*and you and you and you and you and you!*
**[20:31] Audience**
Amazing!
**[20:32] Audience**
That was fun!
**[20:40] Yamada (Oikawa SS Class)**
I'm not sure what happened,
but that was amazing, huh?

Good job getting through that...

as Rothbart!
**[21:19] Chizuru**
On the other hand...
**[21:20] Chizuru**
Jumpei, you—
**[21:23] Jumpei**
Crap...
**[21:26] Jumpei**
I had *so* much fun...

Godai-sensei used to be part of the
Oikawa Haruka Ballet Company, right?
**[00:32] Yuria's Mom**
Yes, we enrolled at Godai Ballet Studio
because of its connections to Oikawa.
**[00:39] MC**
*Today's MVP is...*

* Kawasaki Misono-san*
* from Takara Ballet Studio.*
**[00:46] ---**
Good job!

*Congratulations.*
**[00:47] ---**
Congrats!
**[00:49] Audience A**
What? It's not one of the boys?
**[00:52] Ayako**
Congratulations, Kawasaki-san.
**[00:56] Ayako**
Your splendid performance
was worthy of the MVP.
**[01:01] Ayako**
However,
**[01:02] Ayako**
there was unfortunately one school
whose performance and attitude
**[01:07] Ayako**
could hardly be called "ballet."
**[01:10] Ayako**
On top of that, to respond
to the call for an encore...
**[01:13] Ayako**
I deeply apologize for their behavior.
**[01:17] Jumpei**
Why?!
**[01:20] Jumpei**
The audience liked us the best!
**[01:25] Ayako**
What is your name?
**[01:28] Jumpei**
I'm Murao Jumpei!
**[01:31] Ayako**
Murao-kun, I'm afraid I don't
understand why you're here.
**[01:37] Ayako**
Ballet is an art.
**[01:40] Ayako**
That impromptu spectacle by your school
and the attitude accompanying it
**[01:46] Ayako**
is something inherently different
from classical ballet.
**[01:49] Jumpei**
What?
**[01:50] Jumpei**
No one who claims with a straight
face that what they do is "art"
**[01:53] Jumpei**
is ever actually any good!
**[01:56] Ayako**
I do not think you are suited to ballet.
**[02:01] Ayako**
You should try a different kind of dance.

**[03:42] Luou**
Thanks to you changing the choreography,
**[03:44] Luou**
the judges lumped me together with you!
**[03:47] Luou**
Oikawa Ayako was right.
**[03:50] Luou**
You should quit ballet.
**[03:52] Jumpei**
What?!
**[03:53] Chizuru**
Okay, okay.
**[03:54] Chizuru**
It's true that if Jumpei hadn't
changed the choreography,
**[03:57] Chizuru**
Luou might've been the MVP.
**[04:00] Chizuru**
But then we wouldn't have been
able to see your true dancing.
**[04:07] Luou**
My goal is to dance in a competition!
**[04:12] Chizuru**
Well, a promise is a promise.
**[04:17] Miyako**
Luou!
**[04:17] Jumpei**
Huh? Competition?
**[04:20] Chizuru**
I promised that if he got MVP,
**[04:22] Chizuru**
I'd arrange for him to compete
in an overseas competition.
**[04:25] Jumpei**
Huh?
**[04:26] Yuria's Mom**
Chizuru-sensei!
**[04:28] Yuria's Mom**
What is the meaning of this?!
**[04:30] Yuria's Mom**
Did you hear what Oikawa-san said?
**[04:33] Mom A**
The choreography...
**[04:34] Mom B**
The girls had less time on stage.
**[04:36] Mom C**
They practiced so hard, too...
**[04:38] Jumpei**
Um...
**[04:38] Jumpei**
I'm sorry, that was my—
**[04:40] Chizuru**
Jumpei!
**[04:42] Jumpei**
Take the younger ones to
the lobby with Miyako.
**[04:48] Kids**
Oh, thanks!
**[04:52] Jumpei**
Sorry you couldn't dance that much.
**[04:54] Girl A**
It's okay.
**[04:55] Girl C**
No worries!
**[04:56] Girl D**
We were in the encore.
**[04:58] Yuria's Mom**
Jumpei-kun was in all
of the classes, wasn't he?
**[05:03] Yuria's Mom**
I was concerned about his
special treatment before.
**[05:06] Yuria's Mom**
If he continues to study at your school,
**[05:10] Yuria's Mom**
I will be withdrawing my daughter.
**[05:14] Chizuru**
I understand.
**[05:15] Chizuru**
I will make sure he does not join
the classes in the future.
**[05:19] Chizuru**
However, I cannot make him quit.
**[05:24] Chizuru**
I have a responsibility
**[05:27] Chizuru**
as the one who discovered him.
**[05:31] Jumpei**
Huh?
**[05:32] Jumpei**
Hyou-chan!
**[05:34] Jumpei**
What're you doing here?
**[05:36] Jumpei**
The soccer club training camp is today.
**[05:39] Jumpei**
Oh, something happened with the club, huh?
**[05:43] Jumpei**
I knew it! I mean, you can
be a real pain sometimes.
**[05:47] Hyouta**
The hell?!
**[05:50] Jumpei**
Thanks.
**[05:52] Jumpei**
For shouting my name back there.
**[05:56] Hyouta**
That ballet crowd you've gotten involved
with looks like a huge headache.
**[06:02] Jumpei**
Right?
**[06:03] Jumpei**
After being told all that...
**[06:07] Jumpei**
I mean, what does "not suited" mean, anyway?
**[06:09] Jumpei**
I don't think I know what "ballet" is, then.
**[06:12] Hyouta**
But...
**[06:13] Hyouta**
It was interesting.
**[06:16] Hyouta**
You know, your mic work.
**[06:19] Jumpei**
What about my dancing?!
**[06:21] Hyouta**
You'll be okay.
**[06:24] Hyouta**
In ballet or whatever else you do.
**[06:26] Hyouta**
Just be yourself.
**[06:28] Hyouta**
That "art lady," too...
**[06:30] Hyouta**
She's mad 'cause she's scared.

Himenokouji Kotobuki-kun.
**[09:00] Instructor A**
His family comes from old wealth,
**[09:02] Instructor A**
and his parents are passionate
supporters of the company.
**[09:06] Instructor A**
As you can see, his ballet technique,
sensibilities, and ability are...
**[09:12] Ayako**
Having a supportive family is also
an important part of talent.
**[09:16] Ayako**
Oh, that tall boy...
**[09:19] Instructor A**
Right.
**[09:20] Instructor A**
That's Takura Yamato, who won second place
at the Japan Ballet Competition.
**[09:26] Instructor A**
He's already 180 centimeters tall
as a third-year in junior high.
**[09:30] Instructor A**
He's also very skilled.
**[09:31] Ayako**
Those leg muscles...
**[09:34] Ayako**
I wonder how much of them he can shed.
**[09:37] Instructor A**
And of course, everyone's
eyes are drawn to...
**[09:39] Instructor A**
Yasuda Misaki-kun,
someone you've also noticed.
**[09:44] Instructor A**
I have nothing but praise for his talents.
**[09:47] Instructor A**
He wishes to join the SS class here
and continue at his home school in Kyoto.
**[09:53] Instructor A**
However, his teacher in
Kyoto is against it...
**[09:58] Ayako**
Well, I'll try speaking to his teacher.
**[10:03] Ayako**
Can I leave the rest to you?
**[10:05] Instructor A/Nakamura**
Very well.
**[10:07] Kotobuki**
Did you know?
**[10:08] Kotobuki**
Being placed in the spot
right in front of the mirror
**[10:12] Kotobuki**

scouted as a special student.
**[10:16] Nakamura**

at the barre when I tell you to.

All of you here are studying

**[10:38] Nakamura**
However, for the next eight days,
please give the Oikawa way a try.
**[10:45] Ayako**
I hope the next eight days
**[10:48] Ayako**
will be an opportunity for you all to
relearn precisely what classical ballet is.
**[10:55] Ayako**
Now, in eight days—
**[10:56] Jumpei**
See? If we look like we know where
we're going, no one will try to stop us!

What are you two doing?
**[11:09] Jumpei**
Oikawa Ayako-san!
**[11:11] Jumpei**
I'm here because I want to know
what it is you call "ballet"!
**[11:17] Jumpei**
Please teach me what "art" is!
**[11:22] Ayako**
Nakamura-sensei.
**[11:24] Nakamura**
Yes?
**[11:25] Ayako**
These boys will be joining the class.
**[11:26] Jumpei**
H-Huh?!
**[11:28] Ayako**
Put them both in front of the mirror.
**[11:31] Ayako**
I'm looking forward to the last day.
**[11:35] Instructor A**
Ayako-sensei!
**[11:37] Jumpei**
What? That was too easy...
**[11:41] Jumpei**
Huh?

Luou?
**[11:46] Ayako**
Make sure you do a thorough
background check on those two.
**[11:51] Ayako**
I'm going to take both of them.
**[11:58] Jumpei**
I'm Murao Jumpei, currently studying

Let's see...
**[12:05] Jumpei**
Three months!
**[12:07] Nakamura**
Three months?
**[12:09] Nakamura**
Do you mean that's how long you've
been at Godai-sensei's studio?
**[12:13] Nakamura**
What about before that?
**[12:17] Jumpei**
I did a martial art called Jeet Kune Do.
**[12:20] Nakamura**
I see.
**[12:22] Nakamura**
What about you?

*Why is he going into bullied kid mode?*
**[12:37] Nakamura**
*What am I going to do with these two?*
**[12:40] Nakamura**
* Did Ayako-san choose them just*
* because of their raw talent?*
**[12:45] Nakamura**
* He has not only the right build,*
* but a pretty face, too...*
**[12:48] Nakamura**
* And look at the feet on the one who*
* doesn't seem to know anything about ballet!*
**[12:53] Nakamura**
*Those feet!*

**[13:04] Jumpei**
What?!
**[13:07] Jumpei**
*Piano?*
**[13:09] Jumpei**
*Live accompaniment?*
**[13:11] Nakamura**
Now then, let us begin the class.
**[13:13] Nakamura**
Reverence.
**[13:22] Nakamura**
*Oh?*
**[13:31] Nakamura**
Now, we will start by facing the barre.
**[13:36] Nakamura**
Stand in a tight first position and...
**[13:38] Nakamura**
Devant, and close...
**[13:42] Nakamura**
Music, please.
**[13:47] Jumpei**
*I knew it! She makes shiny drops of sound!*
**[13:57] Nakamura**
Hey, you should be able to
remember this much, at least!
**[14:00] Nakamura**
At the center, I'll be giving you
even longer enchaînements!
**[14:12] Nakamura**
Jumpei! You're not in time with the music!
**[14:14] Jumpei**
Huh?!
**[14:15] Nakamura**
Listen carefully.
**[14:17] Jumpei**
*What?*
**[14:18] Jumpei**
*I was off?*
**[14:21] Jumpei**
* No one's ever said I wasn't in time*
* with the music before!*
**[14:32] Jumpei**
*Oh, this is from* The Piano*!*
**[14:36] Jumpei**
*And with this arrangement!*
**[14:41] Nakamura**
You're off!
**[14:43] Nakamura**
How many times must I tell you?!
**[14:45] Nakamura**
Listen to the music!
**[14:47] Jumpei**
*I'm listening!*
**[14:48] Jumpei**
*I'm totally listening!*
**[14:52] Nakamura**
You're not listening to
what I'm saying, either!
**[14:55] Nakamura**
Why are you tilting your head?
**[14:57] Jumpei**
What? Was I doing that?
**[15:00] Nakamura**
Jumpei, go to the back.
**[15:02] Nakamura**
Everyone in this row, move forward.
**[15:05] Yamato**
Damn, he sure dropped fast.
**[15:08] Nakamura**
Luou, you keep looking down.
You're not focused at all.
**[15:12] Nakamura**
Go to the back.
**[15:15] Nakamura**
Now, we will go to the center,
but before that,
**[15:17] Jumpei**
You know, this isn't school.
**[15:20] Nakamura**
since it's the first day,
it looks like you're all a bit nervous,
**[15:21] Jumpei**
If you got serious, you could blow
everyone out of the water.
**[15:24] Nakamura**
and your movements are stiff.
**[15:27] Jumpei**
Hey. Did you notice that the guys in front
of the mirror are the best dancers?
**[15:32] Jumpei**
Oh, but the tall guy that switched with you
**[15:36] Jumpei**
and that cool kid who kept his spot
in front of the mirror...
**[15:39] Jumpei**
They might be better than you.
**[15:42] Jumpei**
Well, I'll get my spot back before you,
**[15:45] Jumpei**
so you can keep being scared that you're
not at your home studio and stay here.
**[15:49] Jumpei**
I'll get Ayako's acknowledgment
for both of us!
**[15:53] Luou**
Shut up, wild monkey.
**[15:58] Jumpei**
All right, let's get our spots back.
**[16:01] Nakamura**
Plié, and step!
**[16:06] Nakamura**
Promenade.
**[16:10] Nakamura**
Pull up your knees.
**[16:20] Jumpei**
*Just how competitive is he?*
**[16:23] Jumpei**
*He was trembling a minute ago.*
**[16:27] Nakamura**
Turn.
**[16:31] Nakamura**
Stop and hold that position. Lift your legs.
**[16:36] Nakamura**
Luou, wonderful!
**[16:38] Jumpei**
*I can't lose, either.*
**[16:41] Nakamura**
Jumpei! You're off again!
**[16:43] Nakamura**
Listen to the music!
**[16:46] Nakamura**
Plié, fondu to the side,
step onto that foot,
**[16:50] Nakamura**
coupé to the back with a half-turn.
**[16:52] Nakamura**
One more time.
**[16:53] Nakamura**
Fondu side, half-turn...
**[16:56] Nakamura**
Jumpei.
**[16:58] Nakamura**
Those hand movements. You're not
marking the steps, are you?
**[17:02] Nakamura**
Everyone marks the foot movements
with their hands to remember them.
**[17:06] Jumpei**
What, really?!
**[17:08] Yamato**
Wait, what were ya doin', then?
**[17:11] Kotobuki**
Were you just doing what
everyone else was doing?
**[17:13] Nakamura**
No, he's only been dancing for three months.
**[17:16] Nakamura**
You might be off because
you can't remember the steps
**[17:18] Nakamura**
and aren't sure about the movements.
**[17:21] Jumpei**
*No, I know what the moves are...*
**[17:25] Jumpei**
*But it's off from the image I have in my mind.*
**[17:30] Luou**
Well?
**[17:32] Luou**
Wh-Who did you say was better than me?
**[17:35] Jumpei**
The contrast between what you
say and how you act is intense!
**[17:38] Luou**
That guy's toes aren't pointed enough.
**[17:41] Luou**
That guy's not turned out.
**[17:45] Luou**
They all had shaky landings.
**[17:48] Luou**
They're all barely keeping up with
the music. Worse than you, in a way.
**[17:57] (Flashback) Chizuru**
Jumpei, prioritize fine
positioning over the acting!
**[18:00] Nakamura**
Jumpei! Hurry up and get in place!
**[18:03] Jumpei**
R-Right!
**[18:06] Jumpei**
*One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.*
**[18:10] Jumpei**
*One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.*
**[18:15] Jumpei**
*One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.*
**[18:19] Jumpei**
*One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight!*
**[18:24] Nakamura**
See? You can do it!
**[18:25] Nakamura**
You were on this time!
**[18:28] Jumpei**
Wh-What?
**[18:29] Jumpei**
I just ignored the music
and counted while I danced...
**[18:33] Yamato**
That means ya matched the rhythm
and danced to the music, right?
**[18:37] Yamato**
Ya weren't ignorin' it.
**[18:38] Nakamura**
Jumpei.
**[18:40] Nakamura**
You're not at that point yet.
**[18:42] Nakamura**
Just keep count when you're dancing.
**[18:46] Jumpei**
*Then... it won't feel good!*
**[18:52] Tsumamura**
"This is so damn boring!"
**[18:55] Tsumamura**
That was the expression on your face
during the second half of class.
**[19:00] Jumpei**
I like your piano playing.
**[19:03] Tsumamura**
Thanks.
**[19:05] Tsumamura**
When you dance, you don't just
try to follow the rhythm.
**[19:08] Tsumamura**
You can't help but try to express
the emotions of the music, too.
**[19:12] Tsumamura**
All without realizing it.
**[19:14] Jumpei**
Is that bad?
**[19:18] Tsumamura**
Come with me.
**[19:21] Tsumamura**
This is Oikawa's SS class.
**[19:23] Tsumamura**
Only students qualified to become
professionals are in this class.
**[19:29] Tsumamura**
Oh, it happens to be a boys' class.
**[19:40] Jumpei**
So cool!
**[19:41] Tsumamura**
It's like synchronized dancing.
**[19:44] Tsumamura**
Don't you think so?
**[19:45] Tsumamura**
All their movements are perfectly
and beautifully in sync.
**[19:49] Tsumamura**
I feel like I'm watching a performance.
**[19:51] Tsumamura**
This is exactly what
"ballet" should look like.
**[19:56] Tsumamura**
They're the complete opposite of you,
dancing to "feel good."
**[20:00] Jumpei**
*But...*
**[20:02] Jumpei**
*If they're so together like that,*
**[20:04] Jumpei**
*I'm sure it feels really good to them, too!*
**[20:06] Tsumamura**
How do you think they can be so together?
**[20:09] Tsumamura**
Unlike in other classes,
**[20:11] Tsumamura**
the SS class does the same
enchaînement for a month.
**[20:18] Tsumamura**
By repeating it, they don't have to
think about what the steps are,
**[20:22] Tsumamura**
and they can focus on moving
their bodies precisely.
**[20:26] Tsumamura**
In other words, the basics can
completely permeate their bodies.
**[20:31] Tsumamura**
They look so together
**[20:33] Tsumamura**
because they've all arrived at the same
goal of the ideal movement.
**[20:39] Jumpei**
*This is... "art"!*
**[20:42] Tsumamura**
You have good sensibilities.
**[20:44] Tsumamura**
For example, you *were* in
time with the music earlier.
**[20:46] Jumpei**
What?
**[20:48] Tsumamura**
The ability to get lost in the music
is a wonderful talent.
**[20:53] Jumpei**
Then why was I forced to keep count?
**[20:56] Jumpei**
Why isn't what I do "ballet"?!
**[20:58] Jumpei**
Still, the music and emotions...
**[21:02] Jumpei**
That explosion of light...
**[21:06] Jumpei**
I thought getting carried away
by all that was "ballet."
**[21:14] Jumpei**
No, I know.
**[21:17] Jumpei**
It all comes down
**[21:18] Jumpei**
to how I'm not good enough at the basics
to worry about that other stuff, right?
**[21:22] Jumpei**
I know that!
**[21:25] Jumpei**
I'm in more of a hurry than I expected,
**[21:28] Jumpei**
after watching them...
**[21:30] Tsumamura**
You're right. Without the basics,
everything else is out of the question.
**[21:35] Tsumamura**
But before all that,
it looks like you're too unaware
**[21:38] Tsumamura**
of your own dancing and
your attitude toward "ballet."
**[21:42] Jumpei**
What do you mean?
**[21:44] Tsumamura**
When you dance, everything
inside you comes radiating out.
**[21:49] Tsumamura**
It's so scary.
**[21:51] Tsumamura**
Reflect a bit on what you're doing,
**[21:52] Tsumamura**
or you might not be able to
get to where they are.
**[21:56] Jumpei**
* Well, it's not like I'm trying*
* to join the SS class.*
**[22:01] Jumpei**
Huh?
**[22:06] Jumpei**
Sorry! I didn't think you wouldn't
know how to ride the train!
**[22:09] Jumpei**
I'll go pick you up tomorrow, too.
**[22:11] Luou**
I'm not going.
**[22:12] Jumpei**
Huh?
**[22:13] Jumpei**
Once Ayako acknowledges you, you can
talk to Chizuru-san about competing—
**[22:17] Luou**
I don't care anymore.
**[22:22] Jumpei**
Sorry.
**[22:24] Jumpei**
I didn't realize you'd have a hard time
in a place with so many guys our age.
**[22:28] (Flashback) Tsumamura**
Reflect a bit on what you're doing.
**[22:32] Jumpei**
* If I'd thought about it, would I have*
* been able to figure it out?*
**[22:36] Jumpei**
I didn't know about you needing
to get MVP to compete, either.
**[22:41] Luou**
If you had, would you have
stuck to the choreography?
**[22:44] Jumpei**
*No... I wouldn't have...*
**[22:46] Jumpei**
*I mean, I thought that I couldn't die.*
**[22:49] Jumpei**
* Yeah, who would've wanted to see*
* the cool but boring Rothbart*
**[22:53] Jumpei**
* with a prince who was only*
* worried about the basics?*
**[22:57] Jumpei**
*I saw Luou at the gym.*
**[22:59] Jumpei**
* I thought he'd kill me*
* with that same spirit,*
**[23:02] Jumpei**
*and he did even better than that!*
**[23:04] Jumpei**
*And then the audience loved it!*
**[23:08] Jumpei**
Luou...
**[23:11] Jumpei**
Sorry...
**[23:12] Jumpei**
for relying on you back then.
**[23:16] Jumpei**
I was completely unaware
of anything about ballet.
**[23:18] Jumpei**
I didn't know anything... I was arrogant...
**[23:21] Jumpei**
I prioritized "feeling good"
over everything else...
**[23:26] Jumpei**
I-I'm so embarrassed... so please
come with me tomorrow, too!
**[23:31] Jumpei**
Okay?
**[23:33] Luou**
No way!

Just think about shortening
the distance here.
**[00:30] Jumpei**
Yes, sir!
**[00:31] Student A**
He's getting a lot of corrections.
**[00:33] Student B**
Looks like he can finally
stay on beat, though.
**[00:37] Misaki**
That boy's way better than either of ya.
**[00:40] Misaki**
When ya get a correction,
if ya don't fix it,
**[00:43] Misaki**

It is something inherently different
from classical ballet.

*Ah, I'm so embarrassed!*

**[03:29] Nakamura**
See you tomorrow.
**[03:31] Jumpei**
Sensei!
**[03:33] Jumpei**
Who created ballet?
**[03:35] Nakamura**
Huh?
**[03:36] Jumpei**
The more I learn about it, the more
I see all the details that go into it,
**[03:39] Jumpei**
and it's amazing.
**[03:41] Nakamura**
There are some books
about ballet in the salon.
**[03:44] Nakamura**
You should read them.
**[03:45] Jumpei**
Yes, sir!
**[03:47] Yamato**
It was Louis XIV, of course.
**[03:51] Jumpei**
*I guess everyone knows.*
**[03:53] Kotobuki**
No, no, it would be more accurate
to say it was Louis XIV's dance teacher.
**[03:58] Jumpei**
Huh?
**[03:59] Kotobuki**
Ballet was created in Italy,
**[04:02] Kotobuki**
but the basics of modern ballet were
created by the French royal family.
**[04:06] Jumpei**
What? Why did the king dance?
**[04:09] Kotobuki**
It was more like the nobility studied
it as a form of social etiquette.
**[04:18] Jumpei**
Etiquette... I see...
**[04:20] Kotobuki**
Jumpei-kun?!
**[04:22] Jumpei**
You're really amazing.
**[04:24] Jumpei**
You're the most careful about
the basics when you practice, too.
**[04:31] Kotobuki**
You've got a sharp eye.
**[04:33] Kotobuki**
As a symbol of our friendship,
**[04:34] Kotobuki**
would you like to go to today's
Oikawa ballet performance?
**[04:37] Kotobuki**
I can get S-seats with my dad's name.
**[04:40] Luou**
We're not going.
**[04:41] Luou**
Who wants to watch
Japanese people do ballet?
**[04:43] Kotobuki**
But a former Mariinsky principal
from Russia is a guest—
**[04:47] Luou**
Let's go.

**[04:53] Jumpei**
Who's that dancer? Do you like him?
**[04:56] Jumpei**
Also, is he better than you?
**[05:00] Jumpei**
Idiot! This guy's, like, *super* good.
**[05:10] Jumpei**
* Come to think of it, I completely conked*
* out the last time I watched a ballet.*
**[05:24] Jumpei**
*Completely... conked...*
**[05:35] Jumpei**
*What's with this Russian?*
**[05:37] Jumpei**
*What's with this dancing?*
**[05:39] Jumpei**
*So fluid... and elegant.*
**[05:41] Jumpei**
*It looks so easy!*
**[05:43] Jumpei**
*He looks like he's having fun!*
**[05:46] Jumpei**
*He was perfect down to the last detail.*
**[05:48] Jumpei**
* But that was true for the Oikawa*

**[05:55] Jumpei**
* What's going on?! Last time,*
* it looked like a school recital to me!*
**[06:13] Kotobuki**
H-Hey...
**[06:16] Luou**
Bravo!
**[06:26] Jumpei**
Man, that was so good!
**[06:28] Jumpei**
I expect no less from the pros.
**[06:30] Kotobuki**
Oh, it looked like there were
a few students on stage, too.
**[06:33] Jumpei**
What?!
**[06:33] Kotobuki**
You didn't know?
**[06:35] Kotobuki**
Oikawa pulls students from the SS classes
for the company performances.
**[06:40] Jumpei**
On stage...
**[06:42] Jumpei**
Perform...
**[06:44] Kotobuki**
I hope I can get into the SS class.
**[06:47] Kotobuki**
You two are in the summer school
**[06:49] Kotobuki**
to try to get a scholarship
for the SS class, too, right?
**[06:57] Jumpei**
Yeah!
**[06:59] Kotobuki**
I knew it. Everyone at the
summer school's trying for it.

You're forgetting to count again!
**[07:34] Jumpei**
Thanks for the correction!
**[07:36] Nakamura**
You've gotten a lot better in
the last three days, though.
**[07:40] Jumpei**
Oh, thanks...
**[07:47] Jumpei**
*Even so...*

It looks really old, though—
**[08:06] Kotobuki**
What's with you? You scared me!
**[08:09] Yamato**
Oh, you guys stood up at a weird time
during *R&J* last night, didn't ya?
**[08:13] Yamato**
It was hilarious!
**[08:15] Kotobuki**
You two were there, too?
**[08:17] Yamato**
Yeah. And one of my friends
said the school ya go to
**[08:21] Yamato**
got totally dumped on by
Ayako-san at some event?
**[08:29] Yamato**
What'd ya do?
**[08:33] Yamato**
Your teacher's been causing trouble
ever since she joined Oikawa
**[08:38] Yamato**
after leavin' an overseas ballet company.
**[08:40] Jumpei**
*Huh?*
**[08:41] Jumpei**
*Chizuru-san was at Oikawa?*
**[08:45] Jumpei**
*And overseas, too?*
**[08:46] Yamato**
Anyway, you were right to switch to Oikawa.
**[08:50] Yamato**
It was a good decision!
**[08:53] Jumpei**
No! It was my fault we got dumped on!
**[08:56] Jumpei**
Chizuru-san taught me
every day starting at 4 AM.
**[09:00] Jumpei**
I mean, she's...
**[09:03] Jumpei**
*...the one who discovered me!*
**[09:07] Jumpei**
There's no... way I'd switch schools...
**[09:10] Jumpei**

**[09:13] Jumpei**

**[09:15] Jumpei**
and get back the Godai
Ballet Studio students!
**[09:18] Yamato**
Huh?! What the heck?!
**[09:21] Yamato**
Ya didn't come for the scholarship?!
**[09:24] Misaki**
Y'know, everyone at the summer
school's serious about this.
**[09:30] Misaki**
Unlike you two, we're not from here,
**[09:32] Misaki**
so we're aiming for the one
SS scholarship spot.
**[09:37] Misaki**
To join the SS class that only
a select few can even try out for!
**[09:43] Misaki**
This ain't the place to
settle a personal grudge.
**[09:47] Yamato**
You two...
**[09:48] Yamato**
If that's why you're here, then leave!
I don't even wanna look at ya!
**[09:55] Luou**
Looks like *someone's*
got no self-confidence.
**[09:58] Yamato**
What?! Of course I do, moron!
**[10:01] Luou**
At the ballet festival,
**[10:03] Luou**
we were clearly the ones
the audience liked the most.
**[10:10] Luou**
Besides, your feet... aren't beautiful.
**[10:13] Yamato**
What?!
**[10:14] Yamato**
What the hell?!
**[10:16] Yamato**
Outta the way, shorty!
**[10:18] Misaki**
Now, now.
**[10:20] Misaki**
We said our piece, but Jumpei and Luou
have Ayako-san's permission to be here,
**[10:25] Misaki**
and we don't have the right
to say anythin' about it.
**[10:28] Misaki**
That said, I don't actually
want you two here, either.
**[10:33] Misaki**
It's not about my self-confidence.
**[10:35] Misaki**
It makes me sick.
**[10:38] Misaki**
How about it? Wanna have a friendly match?
**[10:41] Misaki**
With ballet...
**[10:42] Misaki**
Pirouettes or something.
**[10:45] Misaki**
If you two lose, will you promise
to never show up here again?
**[10:56] Female Student A (Tanaka)**
Miyako!
**[10:57] Female Student A (Tanaka)**
Oh, good. I thought you
weren't coming anymore.
**[11:00] Miyako**
A lot's happened, but my mom said to
keep coming until someone told me to stop.
**[11:04] Female Student A (Tanaka)**
Anyway, look at that.
**[11:08] Miyako**
What are those two doing here?
**[11:12] Misaki**
Well, then, we're all good with competin'
**[11:14] Misaki**
with Ali's consecutive
pirouettes from *Le Corsaire*?
**[11:17] Yamato**
We'll go in order of who won
rock-paper-scissors earlier.
**[11:20] Yamato**
Me, Jumpei, Luou, Misaki.
**[11:23] Misaki**
Clap once for the person
ya think did well, everybody.
**[11:29] Miyako**
A competition? What's going on?
**[11:32] Female Student A (Tanaka)**
Looks like they were arguing.
**[11:34] Female Student A (Tanaka)**
If Jumpei-kun's team loses,
**[11:35] Female Student A (Tanaka)**
they have to stop coming to
summer school, or something.
**[11:38] Miyako**
What?
**[11:38] Female Student B**
Shh! The Ali part's starting!
**[11:45] Natsuki's Brother**
He's huge! Did his leg get longer?!
**[11:47] Natsuki's Brother**
Whoa, he did a double!
**[11:49] Natsuki's Brother**
He did another one!
**[11:50] Boy A**
Man, he'll definitely win!
**[11:53] Female Student A (Tanaka)**
One, two, three, four, five?!
**[11:59] Natsuki's Brother**
Wow!
**[12:01] Yamato**
Aw, man, I couldn't finish the fifth turn!
**[12:04] Boys**
Crazy! That was so cool!
**[12:08] Misaki**
Now, you're next.
**[12:32] Jumpei**
*One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.*
**[12:34] Female Student A (Tanaka)**
He's not bad.
**[12:35] Boy A**
He's only doing singles, though.
**[12:37] Natsuki's Brother**
Maybe he'll do a bunch of spins at the end?
**[12:39] Jumpei**
*One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.*
**[12:48] Boy C**
What? He only did singles?
**[12:50] Boy B**
After seeing the first boy...
**[12:52] Boy A**
He seems even more boring...
**[12:56] Jumpei**
Sorry...
**[12:57] Jumpei**
This was the best I could do right now...
**[13:05] Miyako**
*That was amazing, Jumpei!*
**[13:07] Jumpei**
Miyako?!
**[13:09] Miyako**
*You did everything Mom told you to do,*
**[13:12] Miyako**
*and you paid attention to it until the end!*
**[13:15] Miyako**
* You were trying to do ballet*
* from the bottom of your heart!*
**[13:19] Misaki**
She's his friend, right?
**[13:30] Miyako**
Natsuki-chan?
**[13:33] Natsuki**
That monkey boy wins.
**[13:38] Natsuki**
When the monkey was
doing his grande pirouette,
**[13:40] Natsuki**
he didn't change his position at all,
from beginning to end.
**[13:46] Natsuki**
That's why he didn't get pulled by
his raised leg and lose his balance.
**[13:50] Natsuki**
It was beautiful.
**[13:55] Natsuki**
Anyway, you've got good momentum,
**[13:58] Natsuki**
but your axis kept moving around.
**[13:59] Yamato**
Huh?! I wasn't movin' around *that* much!
**[14:02] Misaki**
Y'know,
**[14:04] Misaki**
even if that's true, the
audience liked Yamato better.
**[14:08] Misaki**
Besides, from my count, 10 out of
the 19 people here clapped for Yamato.
**[14:15] Misaki**
Which means you two lose.
**[14:17] Misaki**
As promised, will ya stop coming?
**[14:28] Luou**
I won't move from this spot when I turn.
**[14:33] Yamato**
Didn't you hear? The match is over.
**[14:36] Luou**
I'm...
**[14:38] Luou**
number one!
**[14:40] Misaki**
Hang on. Honestly, your
dancin's inconsistent.
**[14:45] Misaki**
I don't understand why the teachers
don't switch you and Jumpei.
**[14:52] Misaki**
Ya don't have to dance.
It'll just be a public execution.
**[14:55] Luou**
Music!
**[14:56] Kotobuki**
Huh? Uh... Um...
**[15:00] Jumpei**
I'm starting it. Are you ready?
**[15:03] Luou**
Ни пуха ни пера!
**[15:05] Kotobuki**
That's terrible! Isn't he your friend?!
**[15:08] Kotobuki**
Stop him!
**[15:09] Jumpei**
Just watch.
**[15:10] Jumpei**
I know it'll be really good!
**[15:14] Luou**
К чёрту!
**[15:19] Yamato**
I've never seen such a menacing Ali...
**[15:24] Natsuki's Brother**
He started with a quad?!
**[15:27] Yamato**
Another quadruple?! Is he a professional?!
**[15:31] Natsuki's Brother**
He's turning while crouching?!
**[15:54] Natsuki's Brother**
Whoa... That was the coolest thing ever!
**[15:57] Female Student A (Tanaka)**
Wow, that's crazy!
**[15:59] Female Student A (Tanaka)**
I don't think anyone in
the SS class could do that!
**[16:06] Yamato**
Hey!
**[16:08] Yamato**
You...
**[16:09] Yamato**
You're amazin'!
**[16:11] Luou**
Huh?
**[16:11] Yamato**
How do ya do that?!
**[16:14] Yamato**
Like that spin while crouchin'!
**[16:17] Yamato**
Do it again!
**[16:21] Luou**
No.
**[16:22] Yamato**
Why not?!
**[16:23] Yamato**
We wanna see! Don't we?
**[16:24] Boys**
Yeah!
**[16:27] Jumpei**
You did it!
**[16:28] Jumpei**
You changed everything again!
**[16:36] Luou**
I spun on that spot, right?
**[16:42] Jumpei**
Who were you competing with, anyway?

Thanks, Yamato-senpai! You're so generous!
**[17:03] Yamato**
Dumbass! I wasn't talking to *you!*
**[17:05] Kotobuki**
The match was interrupted
when the teachers came,
**[17:08] Kotobuki**
but I wanted to see Misaki-kun's Ali, too.

Hm?
**[17:21] Misaki**
I was told that it'd be better not to
compete so much if I wanted to go pro.
**[17:25] Misaki**
Ayako-sensei said so.
**[17:27] Jumpei**
Why?
**[17:28] Kotobuki**
If you practice the competition variations
too much when you're still growing,
**[17:32] Kotobuki**
then your muscles won't build evenly,
**[17:34] Kotobuki**
and you won't grow as much as you could have.
**[17:36] Yamato**
But you can make friends, and it's fun.
**[17:39] Yamato**
And getting ranked is motivating!
**[17:41] Misaki**
Well, it might be a coincidence,
**[17:44] Misaki**
but I really did just have a growth spurt.

It's like...
***SIGN*** Mori Mazuru
Mori Mazuru is a Japanese actress, idol, and
ballerina. Born in Tokyo, she currently resides
in the United States, in New York.
As a child, she studied ballet with her mother,
a former ballerina, and then enrolled in the Oikawa
Haruka Ballet School. While a student at Oikawa,
she won a national dance competition. Garnering
attention for her talent, it was believed she would
continue on the path to becoming a ballerina,
but when she was a second-year in junior high,
she was scouted in Harajuku, and changed
course to become an idol singer the next year.
Her debut song was "More❤︎Gummy Gummy
Chocolicious." With her half-Russian heritage,
she possessed an un-Japanese-like beauty
that led to her being called "the fairy that
landed in Tokyo."

Ow...
**[19:24] Misaki**
Anyway, Yamato,

why did you quit basketball
and focus on ballet?
**[19:28] Yamato**
Huh? You're askin' now?!
**[19:32] Yamato**
It's 'cause I decided that I'd become
a ballet dancer no matter what!
**[19:38] Yamato**
Of course, my parents
had a lot to say about it.
**[19:41] Yamato**
"But think about it," I told 'em,
**[19:43] Yamato**
"for an idiot like me, instead of dumpin'
money to send me to college,
**[19:46] Yamato**
I'd have a better chance of gettin'
a job if I just kept doing ballet.
**[19:50] Yamato**
Plus, it's tough for girls, but guys
are able to make a living, somehow."
**[19:56] Jumpei**
* Misaki and Yamato both have*
* a concrete vision of their future.*
**[20:02] Misaki**
You can't make a living
unless you're at least
**[20:05] Misaki**
a soloist in a big company
in Japan or go overseas.
**[20:07] Yamato**
But if you're gonna go for it anyway,
might as well dream bigger.
**[20:12] Yamato**
I wanna marry my girlfriend, too,
so I need to at least make a living—
**[20:15] Jumpei**
What?! You have a girlfriend?!
**[20:18] Yamato**
What was that for?!
**[20:20] Misaki**
That's ridiculous.

Yamato really is a romantic.

What are you aiming for?

But it would be impossible for you

My body wasn't meant for ballet,

It took over ten years.

**[02:30] Luou**
I told you not to talk about it.

What about you?
**[02:34] Jumpei**
Saying crap like your body's not meant
for ballet, or that you have no talent...
**[02:37] Jumpei**
It looks like the opposite to me.
**[02:39] Jumpei**
Even if those ten-plus years

What is it?
**[03:08] Jumpei**
I've been wondering for a while...
**[03:13] Yamato**
Nipples?
**[03:15] Yamato**
I've been seeing them since
I was little, so I'm used to them.
**[03:18] Jumpei**
I'm not!
**[03:19] Kotobuki**
Well, you have to be able to see all the
fine muscle movements during practice,
**[03:23] Kotobuki**
and when wearing thin costumes,
underwear lines can distract
**[03:26] Kotobuki**
from the presentation and
break the audience's immersion.
**[03:28] Jumpei**
No, this confusion can't
be explained by art...
**[03:32] Misaki**
It's all right, Jumpei.
**[03:34] Misaki**
When they put on uniforms or casual clothes
**[03:36] Misaki**
and let down their hair to go
home, it'll affect ya more.
**[03:39] Jumpei**
Ah, just what I'd expect from

She's the only person in
Oikawa to skip levels.
**[05:43] Kotobuki**
It's best not to argue with her.
**[05:45] Kotobuki**
I mean, she's Oikawa Ayako-san's daughter!
**[05:50] Jumpei**
What?!
**[05:52] Nakamura**
Okay, take the girl to one side.
**[05:55] Nakamura**
Those who aren't used to it can
stay at ten or fifteen degrees.
**[05:59] Nakamura**
Boys, support the girls with your whole arms.
**[06:03] Natsuki**
You can go farther than that, can't you?
**[06:05] Natsuki**
I know you danced a
pas de deux with Miyako-chan.
**[06:08] Jumpei**
Huh? Did you watch that?
**[06:13] Jumpei**
What did you mean by Miyako
matching my movements?
**[06:16] Natsuki**
During that *Swan Lake* pas de deux,
you were getting all the attention,
**[06:20] Natsuki**
and no one was looking at Miyako-chan.
**[06:25] Natsuki**
In a pas de deux, the male dancer
should make the female dancer look good.
**[06:29] Natsuki**
Even though she was the main
character, I felt bad for her!
**[06:34] Female Student**
Oh, that's so pretty!
**[06:39] Instructor**
Very good. Can you bend more?
**[06:44] Instructor**
Open your arms, and keep your
center perfectly straight.
**[06:53] Instructor**
That's it.
**[06:54] Female Student (Yamada)**
They're so together!
**[06:55] Female Student (Yamada)**
They're cousins, right?
**[06:57] Female Student (Sato)**
Even so, it's like...
**[06:59] Female Student (Sato)**
Don't you think Miyako
looks prettier than usual?
**[07:02] Jumpei**
*She does!*
**[07:03] Jumpei**
*It's like her... shape? Silhouette?*
**[07:06] Jumpei**
*You're left seeing only the beautiful lines.*
**[07:10] Jumpei**
* He's holding Miyako still for a*
* moment at her best position?*
**[07:15] Jumpei**
* Back then, I just wanted*
* to show how happy I was.*
**[07:21] Jumpei**
*To show Miyako at her best...*
**[07:25] Jumpei**
*I didn't think about that one bit.*
**[07:28] Instructor**
Okay, don't just watch them.
**[07:31] Instructor**
The rest of you give it a try, too.
**[07:33] Natsuki**
Hey.
**[07:35] Natsuki**
Let's try that.
**[07:37] Natsuki**
Ready?
**[07:38] Jumpei**
Huh?!
**[07:42] Jumpei**
*So light!*
**[07:43] Instructor**
Oh?
**[07:44] Instructor**
Natsuki, don't try to stand on your own.
**[07:47] Instructor**
Let your partner's weight support you
and pull your own body up.
**[07:54] Jumpei**
Ow...
**[07:56] Instructor**
Good on you for protecting the girl!
**[07:58] Female Student (Tanaka)**
This is the first time I've ever
seen Natsuki-chan fall.
**[08:04] Jumpei**
Are you okay?
**[08:07] Natsuki**
The boy has to hold the girl up,
no matter what happens!
**[08:11] Natsuki**
Ugh!
**[08:12] Natsuki**
I don't wanna have to pay attention to
what this monkey's doing while I dance!
**[08:18] Jumpei**
Why's the damn elementary
schooler freaking out on me?!
***SIGN*** Boys' Changing Room
**[08:24] Jumpei**
Nipples!
**[08:26] Jumpei**
You were right. I didn't think
about them at all.
**[08:28] Yamato**
Jumpei, you look exhausted.
**[08:31] Kotobuki**
We have pas de deux with the
same partners again tomorrow.
**[08:35] Misaki**
The SS class those girls are in
should be over soon, too.
**[08:39] Misaki**
I was gonna go get my
partner's LIME username.
**[08:43] Misaki**
You guys come, too.
**[08:45] Misaki**
Partnership is important, right?
**[08:47] Jumpei**
Just what I'd expect from
Playboy-in-Disguise-senpai...
**[08:50] Misaki**
If ya call me that in front
of the girls, I'll kill ya.
**[08:54] Kotobuki**
Looks like their class isn't over yet.
**[08:57] Jumpei**
*Miyako, Miyako.*
**[09:05] Yamato**
That elementary school kid's really good!
**[09:09] Misaki**
I thought she skipped levels
just because of her mom,
**[09:12] Misaki**
but it looks like that's not the case.
**[09:14] Jumpei**
* No, it's not just that*
* she's good... It's like...*
**[09:18] Jumpei**
*I can't seem to look at anyone but Natsuki.*
**[09:22] Yamato**
That's one hell of a scary face
she's makin', though.
**[09:26] Yamato**
Oh, she's gettin' a correction.
**[09:30] Misaki**
Oh, they're done. Let's go.
**[09:51] Misaki**
Can I ask Miyako-chan for her LIME?
**[09:55] Misaki**
I'd like to become special friends with her.
**[09:59] Luou**
Playboy-in-Disguise-senpai...
**[10:02] Misaki**
I'm not thinkin' about that stuff yet.
**[10:04] Misaki**
I was just hopin' we could
go on a date or somethin'.
**[10:07] Luou**
Impossible.
**[10:09] Luou**
Miyako likes *me*.
**[10:13] Misaki**
Oh? I see...
**[10:15] Yamato**
Misaki!
**[10:17] Yamato**
The girls from the SS class...
**[10:19] Yamato**
are here!
**[10:22] Miyako**
Luou!
**[10:24] Miyako**
Huh?
**[10:26] Miyako**
Where's Jumpei?
**[10:35] Jumpei**
Oh, wow...
**[10:38] Natsuki**
Delete that!
**[10:40] Natsuki**
If a video of me in a leotard
gets online, I could be expelled!
**[10:44] Jumpei**
I won't post it anywhere.
**[10:48] Natsuki**
Were you recording me because
I had a weird expression on my face?
**[10:51] Jumpei**
Huh?
**[10:51] Natsuki**
You make me so mad!
**[10:53] Natsuki**
I know! The teacher always tells me that.
**[10:57] Natsuki**
She says, "It's good to be
serious about dancing,
**[10:59] Natsuki**
but don't take yourself too seriously."
**[11:03] Jumpei**
Good one.
**[11:05] Jumpei**
But that expression you have with
your teeth clenched is stunning.
**[11:09] Jumpei**
It's so emo.
**[11:11] Natsuki**
"E-Ero"?! What?!
**[11:14] Natsuki**
Pervert! Get outta here!
**[11:16] Jumpei**
No, I said *"emo"*!
**[11:20] Jumpei**
You're still practicing?
**[11:21] Jumpei**
Do you always stay late?
**[11:24] Natsuki**
How can everyone smile like that?
**[11:27] Natsuki**
And just go home?
**[11:28] Natsuki**
I can't stand it if I'm not the best.
**[11:32] Natsuki**
It makes me want to die.
**[11:36] Natsuki**
If I can do something about it
by working hard, then it's simple.
**[11:39] Natsuki**
I'll work as hard as I need to.
**[11:44] Jumpei**
Guess you can't take a joke, little lady!
**[11:46] Jumpei**
I'll erase it, okay?
**[11:48] Jumpei**
See you tomorrow!
**[11:52] Jumpei**
*In the depths... of her eyes...*
**[11:56] Jumpei**
*are small flames...*
**[11:59] Jumpei**
*Young and innocent...*
**[12:02] Jumpei**
*Single-minded...*
**[12:07] Jumpei**
*She really was stunning...*
**[12:11] Jumpei**
*Anyway,*
**[12:13] Jumpei**
*that Natsuki is impossible.*
***SIGN*** Fifth Day of Summer School
**[12:20] Jumpei**
So anyway, I won't get in your way.
**[12:24] Jumpei**
I'll match you and catch
you 100% of the time!
**[12:31] Instructor**
Not bad.
**[12:33] Instructor**
Okay, practice the preparation
for a pirouette next.
**[12:38] Jumpei**
All right, let's do it!
**[12:40] Jumpei**
It's kinda fun when we're in sync, huh?
**[12:43] Natsuki**
It's more fun for me to dance by myself.
**[12:46] Natsuki**
I'm done with this.
**[12:48] Jumpei**
What the heck?!
**[12:49] Jumpei**
I've been matching you
with everything I've got!
**[12:51] Natsuki**
Just so you know, I only clapped
for you at the pirouette match
**[12:56] Natsuki**
because you were better than the big guy.
**[12:59] Natsuki**
Even if what you did was crazy,
**[13:00] Natsuki**
you were more interesting
as the prince in *Swan Lake*!
**[13:05] Natsuki**
Why are you playing it so safe now?
**[13:10] Jumpei**
"Safe"...
**[13:12] Jumpei**
That's not it...
**[13:15] Jumpei**
I thought it'd be better if
I danced with precision.
**[13:20] Jumpei**
And now, dancing in that crazy way...
**[13:22] Jumpei**
feels embarrassing...
**[13:28] Natsuki**
You're like a monkey with
human intelligence!
**[13:31] Jumpei**
You little—
**[13:32] Jumpei**
If I could dance properly,
**[13:34] Jumpei**
I'd wanna dance with a "bang" like that
*Flames of Paris* video I saw yesterday!
**[13:39] Natsuki**
Wait, wait, I've seen that video!
**[13:41] Jumpei**
Huh?!
**[13:42] Natsuki**
It's really amazing, right?
**[13:44] Natsuki**
Each dancer was really good on their own...
**[13:46] Jumpei**
And then they came together to give an
amazing performance in perfect harmony!
**[13:51] Jumpei**
It was the opposite of "safe"!
**[13:53] Natsuki**
Yeah, yeah!
**[13:54] Jumpei**
Like they're smugly saying, "Hah! Hah!"
**[13:55] Natsuki**
While showing respect for each other!
**[13:57] Jumpei**
And on top of that...
**[13:58] Jumpei/Natsuki**
They're having so much fun!
**[14:05] Jumpei**
Sauté arabesque, sauté passé,
**[14:07] Jumpei**
glissade, grande jeté!
**[14:10] Jumpei**
Natsuki, turn there!
**[14:11] Jumpei**
Sauté 'besque, chassé, 'sé, 'sé, 'sé!
**[14:14] Natsuki**
What the heck?
**[14:16] Jumpei**
Jump!
**[14:19] Natsuki**
You've got a good memory,
**[14:21] Natsuki**
but it's really hard to
match jumps, you know.
**[14:24] Natsuki**
Your jumps are really high,
**[14:26] Natsuki**
and if I use all my strength to
jump, it'll mess up my rhythm—
**[14:29] Jumpei**
Oh, so you're too chicken to try?
**[14:32] Jumpei**
I thought you'd die if you weren't the best?
**[14:36] Jumpei**
It's just copying them for a few seconds.
**[14:39] Yamato**
Huh? What are those two doin'?
**[14:47] Jumpei**
*Huh?*
**[14:51] Jumpei**
*Wait, what* is *this?*
**[15:01] Jumpei**
*Hey, let's do that again!*
**[15:04] Jumpei**
*No, I wanna go all the way out!*
**[15:07] Jumpei**
*Natsuki!*
**[15:09] Natsuki**
*Yeah!*
**[15:21] Kotobuki**
They're gonna crash!
**[15:27] Instructor**
Hey!
**[15:28] Instructor**
Stop playing around!
**[15:30] Instructor**
At least gauge your distance properly!
**[15:36] Natsuki**
I... didn't think we'd jump this far...
**[15:40] Instructor**
Okay, it's time to end
the pas de deux lesson.
**[15:44] Instructor**
Bow to your partners.
**[15:58] Jumpei**
Why...
**[16:04] Misaki**
Listen,
***SIGN*** Boys' Changing Room
**[16:05] Misaki**
gettin' to know girls
is good for your ballet.
**[16:09] Misaki**
So, I've made arrangements to go out
with the SS class girls after this.
**[16:15] Misaki**
We'll all go together!
**[16:18] Misaki**
Hey, where do ya think you're goin'?
**[16:20] Misaki**
As our token "dead-eyed pretty boy,"
your attendance is mandatory.
**[16:24] Yamato**
"Dead-eyed"!
**[16:25] Misaki**
Just stay a bit. Then you can
go home with Miyako-chan.
**[16:30] Misaki**
Girls love boys with dead eyes.
**[16:31] Jumpei**
*It doesn't look like Natsuki will be there.*
**[16:33] Yamato**
What, really?!
**[16:35] Jumpei**
*That was crazy...*
**[16:36] Jumpei**
*What* was *that, anyway?*
**[16:38] Jumpei**
* I can't believe I could be so in sync*
* with someone else in both body and spirit!*
**[16:45] Jumpei**
*Just remembering it gives me chills.*
**[16:48] Jumpei**
*Oh, I wanna do it again!*
**[16:51] Jumpei**
*I bet she's still practicing.*
**[16:53] Yamato**
Hey, where are ya goin'?
**[16:55] Jumpei**
I'll catch up later!
**[16:59] Misaki**
Jumpei!
**[17:01] Misaki**
Miyako-chan's waitin' for ya in the salon.
**[17:04] Misaki**
Said she wants to talk to ya.
**[17:05] Misaki**
You dog. She's definitely
gonna confess her feelings.
**[17:08] Jumpei**
Huh?!
**[17:09] Jumpei**
What?!
**[17:10] Misaki**
Jumpei-kun, here's some advice
from your "In-Disguise" senpai.
**[17:16] Misaki**
Girls like that, who aren't really
aware of how cute they are,
**[17:20] Misaki**
just need a little push.
**[17:24] Jumpei**
*Easy for him to say...*
**[17:26] Jumpei**
*But I'm not expecting anything!*
**[17:28] Jumpei**
*How many times have I choked back tears?!*
**[17:31] Miyako**
Jumpei.
**[17:37] Jumpei**
*She's so freakin' cute.*
**[17:39] Miyako**
Wow, you're reading about ballet!
**[17:43] Jumpei**
*Huh?*
**[17:44] Jumpei**
*Her lips...*
**[17:46] Jumpei**
*They're shiny...*
**[17:47] Miyako**
Jumpei, what did you want to tell me?
**[17:51] Jumpei**
Huh? Misaki-kun said *you*
had something to tell *me*.
**[17:55] Miyako**
Huh? Misaki-kun's partner said
*you* wanted to talk to *me.*..
**[18:00] Jumpei**
Huh?
**[18:02] Miyako**
Jeez, what're they doing?
**[18:08] Luou**
Well? Where's Miyako?
**[18:10] Female Student (Sato)**
Probably meeting up with
Jumpei-kun in the salon.
**[18:13] Female Student (Sato)**
I hope things work out with them.
**[18:15] Female Student (Tanaka)**
That girl's so clueless sometimes.
**[18:19] Misaki**
Luou, that's not how you get to the salon.
**[18:23] Misaki**
I forgot something, too.
Wanna go back together?
**[18:29] Miyako**
Oh, your pas de deux with
Natsuki-chan was amazing!
**[18:33] Miyako**
You were both so good, like two
prodigies dancing together!
**[18:39] Miyako**
You can't dance like that with me, can you?
**[18:42] Jumpei**
Huh? What are you saying?
**[18:44] Jumpei**
You're also...
**[18:46] Jumpei**
*...in perfect sync with Luou...*
**[18:49] Jumpei**
...in the SS class. It's amazing!
**[18:52] Miyako**
Yeah, for some reason.
**[18:54] Miyako**
But y'know, Natsuki-chan is the best by far.
**[18:58] Miyako**
I feel like I'm always competing
for second with the rest of the girls.
**[19:03] Miyako**
Do you know why I also
take lessons at Oikawa?
**[19:07] Miyako**
It's because of what Mom said.
**[19:09] (Flashback) Chizuru**
You don't have enough charisma.
**[19:11] (Flashback) Chizuru**
Even if you keep at ballet,
you won't make prima ballerina.
**[19:14] (Flashback) Chizuru**
But for some reason,
Ayako-san thinks highly of you.
**[19:17] Miyako**
She said that if I wanted to
keep being involved with ballet,
**[19:20] Miyako**
then I should join Oikawa
**[19:22] Miyako**
and work hard to get in the corps
de ballet or get small parts.
**[19:25] Miyako**
I dreamed of being prima
ballerina just a little, though.
**[19:28] Jumpei**
*That's so mean, Chizuru-san!*
**[19:31] Miyako**
But that means if I work hard,
there's a chance I could stand on stage.
**[19:36] Jumpei**
Wait a minute, Miyako.
**[19:37] Jumpei**
That's... I...
**[19:42] Jumpei**
like you!
**[19:50] Miyako**
Oh, you mean my dancing, right?
**[19:54] Miyako**
I know! I know that!
**[19:57] Miyako**
Oh, jeez...
**[20:04] Miyako**
Let's go join the others.
**[20:09] Jumpei**
*She smells good...*
**[20:14] Jumpei**
*She smells good...*
**[20:23] Miyako**
H-Huh?! Wait—
**[20:26] Jumpei**
S-Sorry...
**[20:31] Miyako**
Jumpei...
**[20:35] Jumpei**
Let's go join the others...
**[20:39] Jumpei**
I'm really sorry.
**[20:40] Miyako**
I like you!
**[20:48] Miyako**
So... it's not that I didn't want it...
**[20:52] Miyako**
It was just out of order!
**[20:54] Miyako**
I-I-It's just that we should, y'know,
see how the other person feels first...
**[21:00] Miyako**
And anyway, in a place like this,
where anyone could walk by...
**[21:05] Miyako**
You know?
**[21:09] Jumpei**
Miyako, I like you.
**[21:26] Misaki**
That's not hidin' a thing.
**[21:29] Misaki**
Hey, Luou, those two were datin', huh?
**[21:33] Misaki**
You didn't hear about it?
**[21:36] Misaki**
Oh, you headin' home?
**[21:39] Misaki**
You shouldn't get in their way from now on.
**[21:46] Jumpei**
Maybe we don't have to join the others.
**[21:49] Miyako**
But Luou might not be able
to go home by himself.
**[21:53] Jumpei**
Shouldn't he be able to by now?
**[21:55] Jumpei**
Anyway, what country did
he live in before this?
**[21:58] Miyako**
Huh? He was born in America,
**[22:01] Miyako**
but he's been living in Japan
since he was almost four.
**[22:04] Miyako**
He stayed at home with our grandma
and never went to school,
**[22:10] Miyako**
so he's a little ignorant about the world.
**[22:12] Jumpei**
*"A little"?*
**[22:14] Jumpei**
Your grandma taught Luou ballet, right?
**[22:18] Jumpei**
Where is she now?
**[22:22] Miyako**
She has dementia, so she lives in a home...
**[22:25] Miyako**
And that's why Luou lives with us now.
**[22:32] Jumpei**
His mom doesn't come see him
or wanna take him back?
**[22:36] Miyako**
No, it doesn't look like it.
**[22:38] Miyako**
I don't think he's seen Mazuru-san
since coming back to Japan.
**[22:44] Jumpei**
He's lucky to have relatives
like you and Chizuru-san.
**[22:53] Miyako**
Huh?
**[22:54] Miyako**
Nothing happened.
**[22:57] Misaki**
Well?
**[22:59] Jumpei**
It was just as you said,
Shameless-Playboy-senpai.
**[23:01] Jumpei**
She just needed a little push.
**[23:05] Misaki**
I didn't think you'd push that far, though.
**[23:07] Jumpei**
H-Huh?!
**[23:10] Misaki**
You two are cute together.
**[23:12] Misaki**
Be good to her.

**[02:33] Luou**
Your pelvis is tilted forward,
so you can't bend back.
**[02:37] Luou**
And you're bending toward your back leg.
**[02:39] Jumpei**
Eh... Huh?
**[02:41] Luou**
I'm saying...
**[02:43] Luou**
Like this.
**[02:44] Luou**
And this!
**[02:45] Jumpei**
Ow, ow, ow!
**[02:46] Luou**
Don't twist your body.
**[02:47] Luou**
Bellybutton forward.
**[02:48] Luou**
Don't turn your front leg inward!
**[02:50] Luou**
Someone hold down his front leg.
**[02:51] Jumpei**
Time out, time out, time out, time out!
**[02:54] Luou**
You're jealous of me, right?
**[02:56] Luou**
I stretched like this every day.
**[02:58] Luou**
*You* started off flexible.
**[03:01] Nakamura**
Right now, Yamato, Luou, and
Misaki are in front of the mirror.
**[03:05] Nakamura**
All three dance at a very high level,
**[03:08] Nakamura**
but Luou is the best by far.
**[03:10] Nakamura**
He has an uneven temper, and I'm
worried about his willingness to learn,
**[03:13] Nakamura**
but he's someone we'd
only see once in decades.
**[03:16] Nakamura**
I think he should get the scholarship.
**[03:17] Ayako**
What about Murao Jumpei?
**[03:19] Nakamura**
Huh? Oh, right.
**[03:21] Nakamura**
Murao's face is so expressive.
**[03:24] Nakamura**
I like that.
**[03:25] Nakamura**
You can see when he's "on,"
and it fuels expectations.
**[03:28] Ayako**
Nakamura-sensei, I'm not asking
what you think about him.
**[03:33] Ayako**
I want to know if he would be
worthy of the scholarship.
**[03:37] Nakamura**
Give the scholarship to Murao?
**[03:41] Yamamoto**
What? Should I let go?
**[03:43] Jumpei**
No... I'll do it!
**[03:46] Ayako**
Stop that at once!
**[03:49] Ayako**
He could've been injured!
**[03:52] Ayako**
Current standard practice is to use only
your own body weight when stretching.
**[03:55] Ayako**
It's very dangerous to have others
exert so much strength on you.
**[04:00] Ayako**
That way is outdated.
**[04:01] Ayako**
Did you learn this from your grandmother?
**[04:04] Ayako**
I think I understand
why your mother, Mazuru,
**[04:07] Ayako**
ran away from your grandmother.
**[04:11] Ayako**
She had so much talent.
**[04:13] Ayako**
If only she'd been blessed
with a good teacher...
**[04:19] Luou**
You say it's outdated...
**[04:23] Luou**
But I was never injured.
**[04:26] Luou**
And there's no one at Oikawa
**[04:28] Luou**
who can dance better than me, is there?
**[04:32] Jumpei**
*Oh, he said it out loud!*
**[04:35] Ayako**
I wonder about that.
**[04:41] Ayako**
I'll come watch the afternoon
class for a bit today.
**[04:45] Ayako**
I'm looking forward to it.
**[04:51] Yamamoto**
Oikawa Ayako-san's smile doesn't reach
her eyes, and it scares the crap outta me!
**[04:55] Kotobuki**
I hear she treats the ones she likes
as though they're in a stress interview.
**[04:59] Kotobuki**
She must have her eye on you, Luou.
**[05:01] Yamamoto**
Really? I wouldn't want that, though.
**[05:04] Yamamoto**
I'd rather improve through praise.
**[05:05] Jumpei**
Anyway, what do you wanna eat?
**[05:06] Misaki**
Luou, can I talk to you?
**[05:07] Kotobuki**
Definitely no ramen. We've still
got the afternoon class.
**[05:09] Misaki**
I couldn't say it until now,
**[05:11] Misaki**
but I'm actually a fan of Mori Mazuru-san.
**[05:15] Misaki**
You look just like her.
I can't believe I couldn't tell.
**[05:18] Misaki**
Your little brother's cute, too, huh?
**[05:21] Misaki**
Huh? You knew about her new
partner and their son, right?
**[05:25] Misaki**
You couldn't have possibly missed it, right?
**[05:27] Misaki**
She even had pictures up on social media.
**[05:31] Misaki**
I think he's about four.
**[05:33] Misaki**
It sounds like Mazuru-san
went through a lot,
**[05:35] Misaki**
but she seems happy now.
**[05:38] Misaki**
You aren't goin' to live with her?
**[05:42] Luou**
Lies.
**[05:43] Misaki**
Huh?
**[05:44] Luou**
She just makes it look like she's happy.
**[05:49] Luou**
That woman's a dirty liar.
**[05:52] Luou**
I don't want anything more to do with her.
**[05:56] Misaki**
Well, I guess that didn't work...
**[06:12] Ayako**
Your dancing is dynamic,
with consistent technique.
**[06:14] Ayako**
Your smile is cute, too.
**[06:16] Ayako**
But your connecting movements are sloppy.
**[06:18] Ayako**
You're not graceful enough for a prince.
**[06:21] Ayako**
Instead of seeing *Swan Lake*,
I see a Shiga lake.
**[06:25] Yamamoto**
What?! You mean Lake Biwa?!
**[06:28] Ayako**
You boys are dancing
the part of Prince Siegfried.
**[06:32] Ayako**
Grace over quirkiness.
**[06:34] Ayako**
Elegance over vigor.
**[06:36] Ayako**
On the last day,
**[06:37] Ayako**
please take me to the world of *Swan Lake*.
**[06:42] Jumpei**
* It's completely different*
* from what Chizuru-san said.*

**[07:07] (Flashback) Mazuru**
Even if we're apart, I'll answer you!
**[07:36] Nakamura**
Luou, what's wrong?
**[07:41] Nakamura**
Luou?
**[07:42] Ayako**
If you're not going to
perform, then move back.
**[07:46] Ayako**
You're in the way.
**[07:54] Jumpei**
Luou!
**[07:56] Ayako**
Leave him.
**[08:05] Jumpei**
Luou!
**[08:06] Jumpei**
What're you doing? Don't leave!
**[08:08] Jumpei**
Is it what he said about your mom?
**[08:10] Luou**
No!
**[08:11] Luou**
It's because there's nothing
for me to learn here!
**[08:15] Luou**
Or from Chizuru-san, either!
**[08:18] Luou**
That's why I wanted to go overseas!
**[08:22] Luou**
But I don't care about that anymore, either.
**[08:24] Luou**
So what if I can do ballet?
**[08:29] Jumpei**
You idiot! What's your deal?!
**[08:31] Jumpei**
Don't you like doing ballet?
**[08:33] Luou**
No, I hate it!
**[08:35] Luou**
I was just forced to do it!
**[08:39] Jumpei**
What?!
**[08:42] Jumpei**
Liar! You *do* like ballet!
**[08:47] Yamamoto**
We're done!
**[08:51] Tsumamura**

**[08:53] Tsumamura**
Ayako-san requested that
you come to the office.
**[08:56] Jumpei**
Oh, crap! Is she gonna tell
me to quit showing up?
**[08:59] Jumpei**
She didn't have any comments
for me earlier, either.
**[09:03] Tsumamura**
I wonder.

**[09:11] Miyako**
Excuse me.
**[09:18] Jumpei**
You were summoned by Ayako-san?
**[09:19] Jumpei**
Is it because of me and Luou?
**[09:21] Miyako**
Oh, no.
**[09:23] Miyako**
It was about me. About what I'm thinking...
**[09:29] Miyako**
Oh, I heard Luou left
in the middle of class?
**[09:36] Miyako**
To Luou, Grandma's word is absolute,
**[09:38] Miyako**
and she rejected Japanese ballet because
she thought Russia was the best.
**[09:45] Miyako**
I thought maybe you'd
helped him change a little,
**[09:48] Miyako**
but I guess it's not that easy.
**[09:51] Jumpei**
I'll go pick up Luou tomorrow morning.
**[09:57] Jumpei**
Hey...
**[09:58] Jumpei**
Let's go somewhere!
**[09:59] Miyako**
Huh?
**[10:00] Jumpei**
It's summer vacation... The last day!
**[10:02] Jumpei**
After the summer school variation
performances, let's go somewhere...
**[10:06] Jumpei**
The two of us!
**[10:09] Miyako**
Yeah!
**[10:11] Jumpei**
*Yeah! I like her!*
**[10:13] Jumpei**
*Cutest in the world. Cutest in the world.*
**[10:15] Jumpei**
*Cutest in the world. Cutest in the world.*
**[10:19] Jumpei**
It's Murao. Excuse me...
**[10:27] Jumpei**
*Is this the* Romeo and Juliet *
from the other day?*
**[10:30] Ayako**
Reverence!
**[10:43] Ayako**
Well, Murao Jumpei-kun?
How have the last six days been?
**[10:46] Ayako**
Your world has changed
considerably, has it not?
**[10:50] Ayako**
Your dancing and attitude
are completely different.
**[10:53] Ayako**
You wouldn't have changed
that much without trying.
**[10:58] Ayako**
I'll get straight to the point.
**[11:00] Ayako**
I'm thinking of giving you
the scholarship to the SS class.
**[11:06] Ayako**
Every year, we keep one spot open
for a student from the summer school.
**[11:11] Ayako**
I'd like to know if you are interested.
**[11:15] Jumpei**
*C-Crap...*
**[11:17] Jumpei**
*I'm really happy!*
**[11:18] Ayako**
If you get the scholarship,
**[11:20] Ayako**
it's proof that I've acknowledged you, right?
**[11:24] Jumpei**
U-Um, but why?
**[11:27] Jumpei**
Why me?
**[11:29] Jumpei**
I mean, Luou is way better than me.
**[11:32] Ayako**
That's true. He's already quite skilled,
**[11:36] Ayako**
and his performances
miraculously draw people in.
**[11:39] Ayako**
However,
**[11:41] Ayako**
he cannot become a professional.
**[11:44] Ayako**
To leave class just because
he was shaken by something...
**[11:47] Ayako**
He's too mentally weak.
He can't get along with others.
**[11:50] Ayako**
He has no common sense.
**[11:53] Ayako**
Above all,
**[11:54] Ayako**
no matter how talented someone is,
**[11:56] Ayako**
if they don't *want* to learn,
there's nothing we can do here.
**[12:03] Ayako**
Don't tell me Chizuru-san also told you
**[12:05] Ayako**
that you had to be the best in Russia?
**[12:09] Jumpei**
It's not that she said I "had"
to be. I'm the one who—
**[12:13] Ayako**
I see. What made you say that?
**[12:17] Jumpei**
I just thought... it'd be cool...
**[12:20] Jumpei**
to be the best in Russia, or something...
**[12:22] Ayako**
I see. I understand.
**[12:24] Ayako**
Will you listen to what
I'm aiming for, as well?
**[12:28] Ayako**
I want to raise the status of
the Japanese ballet world.
**[12:34] Ayako**
Up to heights that will drive overseas
dancers to want to join Oikawa.
**[12:38] Ayako**
To accomplish that,
many things need to be done.
**[12:43] Ayako**
Salaries and guarantees for dancers,
the repertoire, sponsors,
**[12:47] Ayako**
and even perhaps cultivating
the audience for ballets.
**[12:51] Ayako**
And a star dancer who will become
the target of absolute adoration is essential.
**[12:57] Ayako**
A principal who will make ballet history...
**[13:00] Ayako**
It'd be even better if they
were trained by Oikawa, too.
**[13:03] Ayako**
That's what I want you to become.
**[13:07] Ayako**
Don't you think that's even
more preposterous and interesting
**[13:10] Ayako**
than aiming to be a top Russian dancer?
**[13:17] Ayako**
* So, here are the conditions for*
* awarding you the scholarship.*
**[13:22] Ayako**
*You will eventually join the Oikawa company,*
**[13:26] Ayako**
* and stop attending*
* the Godai Ballet Studio.*
**[13:28] Ayako**
* If you cannot accept those conditions*
* and do not want the scholarship,*
***SIGN*** Godai Ballet Studio
**[13:35] Ayako**
* then please do not come*
* to the variation performances*
**[13:39] Ayako**
*on the last day of summer school.*
**[13:43] Jumpei**
Chizuru-san, I...
**[13:45] Jumpei**
I was acknowledged by Ayako-san!
**[13:47] Jumpei**
Now the little kids will come back, too!
**[13:50] Chizuru**
What, are you planning on accepting
the scholarship for the SS class?
**[13:53] Jumpei**
You're sharp!
**[13:55] Jumpei**
I thought I'd go to both schools!
**[14:00] Chizuru**
You can't do that.
**[14:01] Chizuru**
That doesn't sound like something
Ayako-san would allow.
**[14:04] Chizuru**
It's against the rules.
**[14:06] Chizuru**
What about becoming a top dancer in Russia?
**[14:09] Chizuru**
If you accept the scholarship, you will
be expected to join Oikawa eventually.
**[14:12] Jumpei**
Yeah, but it sounds like they have an
overseas study abroad training program,
**[14:18] Jumpei**
so I thought I'd take the chance if
I could get it. Like you, Chizuru-san!
**[14:22] Jumpei**
Ayako-san told me.
**[14:24] Jumpei**
Even though you were studying under
the previous artistic director, Oikawa Haruka,
**[14:27] Jumpei**
you went to study abroad in Russia, right?
**[14:29] Jumpei**
You got prestige for dancing in Russia,
**[14:31] Jumpei**
then came back to Oikawa
and joined the company,
**[14:33] Jumpei**
so I could return the favor the same way—
**[14:34] Chizuru**
Idiot!
**[14:36] Chizuru**
The ballet world is more
connected than you think.
**[14:39] Chizuru**
A bad reputation will stay with you
as long as you're still dancing.
**[14:42] Chizuru**
And nothing can replace
the shine of a dancer on the rise.
**[14:47] Chizuru**
I wasn't able to return the favor at all.
**[14:50] Chizuru**
And now that Haruka-san is gone,
**[14:52] Chizuru**
it's something that will stay
with me for the rest of my life.
**[14:57] Jumpei**
Then... going to Russia...
**[14:59] Chizuru**
I don't regret it.
**[15:02] Chizuru**
I wanted to go. I can't help that.
**[15:04] Chizuru**
I'm saying you can't go into it knowing
you won't fulfill the condition.
**[15:07] Jumpei**
Chizuru-san, you really
think outside the box, huh?
**[15:10] Jumpei**
You didn't get mad at the ballet
festival, either. Unlike Ayako-san.
**[15:14] Chizuru**
What was there to be mad about?
**[15:15] Chizuru**
It was truly fun to watch.
**[15:21] Jumpei**
That makes me so happy.
**[15:24] Jumpei**
But...
**[15:25] Jumpei**
I feel like someone like me can't just stay
in a place that accepts that part of me.
**[15:32] Jumpei**
Going to a place as strict as
Oikawa made me think that.
**[15:37] Jumpei**
That's why I thought maybe I'd go to both—
**[15:39] Chizuru**
Very well!
**[15:40] Chizuru**
Don't show your face here anymore.
**[15:43] Chizuru**
Putting aside the rules,
**[15:46] Chizuru**
if you don't think being here
is helping you anymore,
**[15:48] Chizuru**
and you can't do what I say
and trust me 100%,
**[15:52] Chizuru**
then we can't work together anymore.
**[15:55] Chizuru**
Goodbye, then. Do your best at Oikawa.
**[16:03] Jumpei**
You're kidding, right?
**[16:05] Jumpei**
If that's the case, I'll stay at Godai!
**[16:07] Jumpei**
I won't take the scholarship at Oikawa!
**[16:10] Jumpei**
Chizuru-san!
**[16:17] Jumpei**

There's still the big climax:
the variation performances!
**[17:10] Misaki**
Jumpei, are ya comin' tomorrow?
**[17:14] Misaki**
You came to get revenge for the
criticism about Godai-sensei, right?
**[17:18] Misaki**
Does Godai-san even want ya to do that?
**[17:23] Jumpei**
Yeah, you're right.
**[17:25] Jumpei**
It'd make sense not to show up tomorrow.
**[17:29] Jumpei**
But I kinda want the scholarship now!
**[17:33] Jumpei**
Sorry!
**[17:39] Misaki**
What the hell?
**[17:40] Misaki**
What do you mean, you "kinda" want it?!
**[17:43] Misaki**
I've been workin' toward this
scholarship for the past *year.*
**[17:46] Misaki**
It was my only hope for continuin' with ballet.
**[17:50] Misaki**
Who the hell do you think you are,
just wanderin' in like that and...

I understand how Luou feels!

Luou likes Miyako-chan?
**[18:01] Misaki**
You two kissed, didn't ya? What a joke!
**[18:04] Misaki**
Luou saw it, too!
**[18:06] Misaki**
You're so damn oblivious!
**[18:07] Misaki**
You don't even *try* to see
how other people feel!
**[18:09] Yamamoto**
Hey!
**[18:11] Misaki**
You just waltz in and take

**[18:15] Yamamoto**
Misaki, what's wrong? This isn't like ya!
**[18:19] Jumpei**
I...
**[18:21] Jumpei**
I've liked ballet for eight years.
**[18:25] Yamamoto**
What's that got to do with it?
**[18:26] Jumpei**
I always,
**[18:27] Jumpei**
*always* wanted to do it!
**[18:30] Jumpei**
It was my own fault for not having
the courage to go to lessons.
**[18:33] Jumpei**
But I danced in my own way in secret,
**[18:37] Jumpei**
and now, I'm finally learning real ballet!
**[18:41] Jumpei**
I...
**[18:42] Jumpei**
I wanna get better, too!

I thought it'd be nice to get an After 5
ticket for an amusement park, too,

**[20:12] Jumpei**
* Besides, there's no one at Oikawa*
* who's better than Luou.*

He cannot become a professional.
**[20:23] Miyako**
Huh?
**[20:24] Jumpei**
I said, I'm not going to today's
variation performances,
**[20:28] Jumpei**
so let's go to an amusement park!
**[20:29] Miyako**
What? No, you have to perform.
**[20:31] Miyako**
You worked so hard this past week.
**[20:34] Miyako**
Your dancing's changed in a good way!
**[20:37] Jumpei**
Yeah... I'm grateful to Ayako-san...

**[20:45] Miyako**
Wha—
**[20:47] Jumpei**
Luou! You're in there, right?
**[20:49] Jumpei**
Right now, Miyako and I are going
on somethin' like a date—
**[20:53] Jumpei**
No, it *is* a date!
**[20:55] Jumpei**
It's definitely, *totally* a date!
**[20:57] Jumpei**
Are you stupid? You... I mean,
she's such a c-c-c-cute girl!

Right under your nose, too...
**[21:03] Jumpei**
It's a *huge* turn of events! Idiot! Dumbass!
**[21:06] Jumpei**
It's 'cause you just stay locked up in there!
**[21:08] Jumpei**
That's why Ayako-san says
you can't become a pro!
**[21:12] Jumpei**
Doesn't that piss you off?!
**[21:14] Jumpei**
C'mon, you gotta go to
the variation performances!
**[21:18] Jumpei**
While I'm enjoying the springtime of life,
**[21:20] Jumpei**
you should go show Ayako-san
just how good you are!
**[21:24] Jumpei**
Make her feel like you're someone

**[21:28] Jumpei**
Make her eat her damn words!

We should be there in an hour and a half.
**[02:13] Jumpei**
It'll be too late...
**[02:15] Miyako**
You mean, for the variation performances?
**[02:18] Miyako**
You should go back and do
your performance, at least!
**[02:21] Jumpei**
No, like I said, I'm not going.
**[02:24] Miyako**
Did Ayako-san say something to you?
**[02:27] Miyako**
Were you scouted for the SS class?
**[02:30] Jumpei**
Of course not.
**[02:31] Jumpei**
More importantly, who's this "Grandmother"?
**[02:37] Miyako**
Grandmother is...
**[02:41] (Flashback) Chizuru**
Back when Russia was the Soviet Union,
**[02:43] (Flashback) Chizuru**
she tried to become a top prima
ballerina there, but didn't make it.
**[02:48] (Flashback) Chizuru**
Back then, it was even more unheard of
for an Asian person to perform in Russia.
**[02:52] (Flashback) Chizuru**
On top of that, she got injured.
**[02:56] (Flashback) Chizuru**
She was summoned back
to Japan by your grandfather,
**[02:59] (Flashback) Chizuru**
got married, and had me.
**[03:03] (Flashback) Chizuru**
But she probably thought
that since I'm full Japanese,
**[03:06] (Flashback) Chizuru**
she wouldn't be able to entrust her
dream of being the top in Russia to me.
**[03:12] (Flashback) Chizuru**
A few months after I was born,
**[03:14] (Flashback) Chizuru**
she left me and went to Russia, and got
pregnant with a Russian dancer's child.
**[03:20] (Flashback) Chizuru**
That child was your aunt Mazuru, who was
a scandal-ridden idol, not a ballerina.
**[03:27] (Flashback) Chizuru**
And then, at some point, Mazuru left
your grandmother to care for...
**[03:31] (Flashback) Miyako (young)**
Luou!
**[03:32] (Flashback) Miyako (young)**
I get to meet him today, right?
**[03:34] (Flashback) Miyako (young)**
When can we start living together?
**[03:36] (Flashback) Chizuru**
Given your grandmother's current state,
I think it'd be better for us to take him...
**[03:41] (Flashback) Chizuru**
But I can't get a hold of Mazuru.
**[03:45] (Flashback) Kozuru**
Go home. Next time, send
the money by registered mail.
**[03:50] (Flashback) Chizuru**
No, no. I'm not here to give you
money for living expenses.
**[03:54] (Flashback) Chizuru**
I got another call from
Luou's elementary school.
**[03:57] (Flashback) Chizuru**
You've been keeping him at home, haven't you?
**[03:59] (Flashback) Kozuru**
I told you. He's being bullied
because of Mazuru.
**[04:04] (Flashback) Chizuru**
Huh? *That's* why?
**[04:06] (Flashback) Chizuru**
Mazuru neglected her child,
**[04:07] (Flashback) Chizuru**
and you've kept him shut inside, not
sending him to kindergarten or preschool.
**[04:11] (Flashback) Chizuru**
How's he supposed to know how
to make friends like that?
**[04:14] (Flashback) Kozuru**
Is that your daughter?
**[04:17] (Flashback) Miyako (young)**
Nice to meet you. I'm Godai Miyako...
**[04:39] (Flashback) Kozuru**
You know it's impossible, don't you?
**[04:41] (Flashback) Kozuru**
For a Japanese person to do ballet.
**[04:44] (Flashback) Kozuru**
Because ballet is European.
**[04:47] (Flashback) Chizuru**
Stop that.
**[04:49] (Flashback) Chizuru**
Right now, she's just having fun dancing.
**[04:51] (Flashback) Chizuru**
She's not thinking about
going pro or anything.
**[04:54] (Flashback) Chizuru**
Miyako, go wait over there for bit.
**[04:57] Miyako (young)**
*For a second, Grandmother looked like
the Lilac Fairy from* The Sleeping Beauty*,*
**[05:04] Miyako (young)**
* but she was actually Carabosse,*

**[05:08] Miyako (young)**
* But she seemed like the*
* real thing, like Mommy...*
**[05:12] Chizuru**
* I don't understand how you*
* can be so unambitious.*
**[05:16] Chizuru**
*I don't feel anything from you that says,*
**[05:18] Chizuru**
*"I want to stand out more than anyone!"*
**[05:19] Chizuru**
*or "I want to be the best!"*
**[05:21] Chizuru**
*For as long as I can remember,*
**[05:23] Chizuru**
* I've had my heart set on*
* making a living doing ballet.*
**[05:26] Chizuru**
*You don't feel anything like that?*
**[05:30] Miyako (young)**
*I do* like *ballet...*
**[05:33] (Flashback) Miyako's Dad**
Now, now. Kids usually have
lots of different dreams.
**[05:38] Miyako (young)**
*Yeah. That's right, Daddy. I'm still a kid.*
**[05:45] (Flashback) Miyako (young)**
Ta-da! Souvenirs from Daddy's business trip.

I'm your cousin, Miyako!

Hey, do you want some gummies?
**[06:07] (Flashback) Miyako (young)**
You're not allowed to eat
pretty candy, either?
**[06:10] (Flashback) Miyako (young)**
That's the same as me!
**[06:30] (Flashback) Text**
What kind of fruit is this?
**[06:33] Miyako (young)**
*A-A prince? Speaking Russian?*
**[06:37] (Flashback) Miyako (young)**
Huh? Why aren't you wearing clothes?
**[06:40] (Flashback) Luou (young)**
Because I had a lesson.
**[06:41] (Flashback) Miyako (young)**
Oh, Japanese...
**[06:43] (Flashback) Luou (young)**
Grandmother said it's so she can check
if I'm using my body correctly.
**[06:48] (Flashback) Chizuru**
Miyako!
**[06:50] (Flashback) Chizuru**
Where are you?! We're leaving!
**[06:51] (Flashback) Luou (young)**
Y-You have to go!
**[06:52] (Flashback) Chizuru**
Ugh, this is pointless!
**[06:54] (Flashback) Luou (young)**
Grandmother will be mad!
**[06:57] (Flashback) Miyako (young)**
Wait!
**[06:57] (Flashback) Miyako (young)**
Can I come over again?
**[06:59] (Flashback) Miyako (young)**
I'll bring more pretty candies!
**[07:02] (Flashback) Luou (young)**
At noon, Grandmother takes
medicine and goes to sleep,
**[07:07] (Flashback) Luou (young)**
and doesn't wake up for about two hours.
**[07:11] Miyako**
* On days I didn't have school, I would*
* diligently bring over forbidden snacks.*
**[07:17] Miyako**
*I'd play the piano,*
**[07:19] Miyako**
*and Luou would dance whatever he wanted.*
**[07:21] (Flashback) Miyako (young)**
A sissonne ouverte's like...
**[07:24] (Flashback) Miyako (young)**
this?
**[07:25] (Flashback) Luou (young)**
Wow, Miyako...
**[07:27] (Flashback) Miyako (young)**
You haven't learned that yet?
**[07:30] (Flashback) Luou (young)**
The boys in my class do jumps and
turns like this all the time, though...
**[07:35] (Flashback) Luou (young)**
Grandmother says I can't do
turns or big jumps yet.
**[07:41] (Flashback) Luou (young)**
I have to work on my flexibility
and standing properly first.
**[07:44] (Flashback) Luou (young)**
Your mom ended up only being
good enough to dance in Japan.
**[07:48] (Flashback) Luou (young)**
That's why she went back to Oikawa, right?
**[07:51] (Flashback) Luou (young)**
Let's learn from Grandmother together!
**[07:54] (Flashback) Luou (young)**
If you don't, you'll end up like your mom.
**[07:58] (Flashback) Miyako (young)**
I'm going home.
**[08:00] (Flashback) Luou (young)**
Come back and see me.
**[08:02] (Flashback) Miyako (young)**
I don't know if I will.
**[08:04] (Flashback) Luou (young)**
If you don't, I'll take Grandmother's medicine.
**[08:08] (Flashback) Luou (young)**
If I take a lot of them, then I'll die.
**[08:11] (Flashback) Miyako (young)**
Stupid! Spit them out!
**[08:13] Miyako**
* Both Luou's dancing and his*
* mental state were unstable.*
**[08:18] (Flashback) Kozuru**
How many times do I have to tell you?!
**[08:20] (Flashback) Kozuru**
You're cheating again,
trying to find the easy way out!
**[08:21] (Flashback) Luou**
It hurts...
**[08:23] (Flashback) Kozuru**
Stop crying!
**[08:24] (Flashback) Kozuru**
Don't irritate me even more
with that hopeless body of yours!
**[08:29] (Flashback) Kozuru**
I said stop crying!
**[08:32] Miyako**
*Grandmother's lessons were so, so scary...*
**[08:38] (Flashback) Kozuru**
Mazuru could do it all from the start!
**[08:41] (Flashback) Miyako (young)**
This would make me hate ballet...
**[08:46] Miyako**
*But there was nowhere for Luou to run.*
**[08:48] Miyako**
*It was all he knew.*
**[08:50] Miyako**
* Even when Grandmother*
* was sleeping, he kept dancing...*
**[08:53] Miyako**
*with a smile.*
**[08:54] (Flashback) Luou (young)**
Miyako, teach me how to do a pirouette.
**[08:57] Miyako (young)**
* Oh, I see. This is the only*
* time he can enjoy ballet.*
**[09:03] Miyako (young)**
*The time he lives for.*
**[09:06] Miyako (young)**
*I have to come here as much as I can.*
**[09:08] Miyako (young)**
*I have to protect Luou!*
**[09:15] (Flashback) Miyako (young)**
What? You started learning jumps?
**[09:18] (Flashback) Luou (young)**
No. I have a lot more lessons with
both hands on the barre, though.
**[09:22] (Flashback) Luou (young)**
Grandmother said that
if I do the barre properly,
**[09:24] (Flashback) Luou (young)**
then when I'm ready to do jumps,
I'll have the right muscles for it.
**[09:29] Miyako (young)**
*There aren't any boys our age...*
**[09:32] Miyako (young)**
* or girls, for that matter...*
* who are this graceful.*
**[09:37] Miyako (young)**
* No one dances so well*
* with the music, either.*
**[09:41] Miyako (young)**
*It's like he lives in the kingdom of ballet.*
**[09:45] Miyako (young)**
*Was Grandmother right?*

something else, that's fine, too.
**[10:31] (Flashback) Chizuru**
After teaching the SS class, it's like,
"Can't they just have fun dancing?"
**[10:36] (Flashback) Chizuru**
The kids who have potential
already know that, though.
**[10:41] Miyako**
* Someone like me, who doesn't have much*
* potential, can only dance for fun...*
**[10:46] (Flashback) Luou (young)**
Miyako, you're not gonna eat any?

**[10:49] (Flashback) Luou (young)**
You've only been playing piano recently.
You haven't been dancing.
**[10:52] (Flashback) Miyako (young)**
It's fine. I'm here to practice piano.
**[10:56] Miyako (young)**
* Luou can dance without hesitation.*
* He's too bright to look at.*
**[10:59] Miyako (young)**
* I can't even choose ballet.*
* How can I dance in front of him?*
**[11:03] (Flashback) Luou (young)**
Miyako, you can't be
the top in Russia like that.
**[11:09] (Flashback) Miyako (young)**
Th-There's no way...

That's what Grandmoth—

Jeez, Grandmother!
**[11:28] (Flashback) Miyako (young)**
That's rich from someone who looks
down so much on Japanese ballet!
**[11:31] (Flashback) Luou (young)**
*You're* weird for getting
angry all of a sudden.
**[11:34] (Flashback) Miyako (young)**
And *you're* weird for not going to school!
**[11:40] (Flashback) Miyako's Dad**

Please! I'll do anything!
**[12:35] (Flashback) Luou (young)**
There was a spider in the lesson room,
**[12:38] (Flashback) Luou (young)**
and when I put it in the jar,
it stopped moving.
**[12:41] (Flashback) Luou (young)**
Then, when I threw it outside,
it started moving again.
**[12:45] (Flashback) Luou (young)**
So I climbed the tree to chase it,
and then you showed up.
**[12:56] Miyako (young)**
*What a soft plié...*
**[12:59] Miyako (young)**
*He's like a cat.*
**[13:02] (Flashback) Miyako (young)**

Always.

*The real thing...*
**[13:09] Miyako (young)**
*Luou!*
**[13:11] (Flashback) Luou (young)**
I want you to keep dancing, too.
**[13:16] (Flashback) Luou (young)**
You'll always keep dancing with me, right?
**[13:18] (Flashback) Miyako (young)**
It's the first time anyone's ever
said they wanted me to dance.
**[13:23] (Flashback) Miyako (young)**
But I...
**[13:25] Miyako (young)**
*I'm not the real thing.*
**[13:28] (Flashback) Luou (young)**

*on the thorny bush!*
**[13:48] (Flashback) Text**
I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
**[13:49] (Flashback) Kozuru**
You started saying you wanted to go
to school because of her, right?
**[13:54] (Flashback) Kozuru**
That's fine. You can go live with her.
**[13:58] (Flashback) Kozuru**
If you're going to go, go now.
**[14:00] (Flashback) Kozuru**
If you come back into this room, things
will go back to how they were before.
**[14:03] (Flashback) Miyako (young)**
Luou!
**[14:12] (Flashback) Luou (young)**
You may never see that girl again.
**[14:17] (Flashback) Text**
I understand...
**[14:28] (Flashback) Miyako (young)**
Luou, you're there, aren't you?
**[14:30] (Flashback) Miyako (young)**
Listen, I've decided.
**[14:32] (Flashback) Miyako (young)**
I'll become a princess.
**[14:34] (Flashback) Miyako (young)**
Then I can be paired with you, right?
**[14:36] (Flashback) Miyako (young)**
And stay by your side forever.
**[14:38] (Flashback) Miyako (young)**
I'll protect you.
**[14:39] (Flashback) Miyako (young)**
So you can always have fun while dancing.
**[14:42] (Flashback) Miyako (young)**
Listen, Luou...
**[14:43] Miyako**
* But in the end, I wasn't good enough*
* to become the princess,*
**[14:48] Miyako**
*and I stopped visiting as much...*
**[14:51] Miyako**
Wait.. Why am I talking about this?
**[14:56] Miyako**
*Did I say too much?*
**[15:04] Miyako**
After that, Grandmother's
dementia got increasingly worse,
**[15:08] Miyako**
and Luou shoplifted some
snacks from the store.
**[15:10] Miyako**
So he ended up coming to stay with us...
**[15:13] Miyako**
Oh, yeah. I still want Luou to keep dancing.
**[15:17] Miyako**
That's why I totally understood
when you said it'd make you mad.
**[15:21] Jumpei**
Hey...
**[15:22] Jumpei**
Both in the past and now,
Luou's only ever had you, right?
**[15:27] Miyako**
He had Grandmoth—
**[15:28] Jumpei**
Your grandmother never saw *Luou*.
She always saw *Mazuru*.
**[15:33] Jumpei**
You were his only warmth. His only light.
**[15:36] Miyako**
That's...
**[15:39] Jumpei**
And I put that light out.
**[15:43] Jumpei**
I heard that Luou saw us kiss.
**[15:46] Jumpei**
That Luou likes you.
**[15:51] Miyako**
No way! There's no way.
**[15:53] Miyako**
We've barely talked, even when
we started living togeth—
**[15:54] Jumpei**
Miyako... You need to be by his side...
**[16:00] Miyako**
Huh?

What about... us?

* The next stop is Hinemosu-hama. Those going*
* to Home Hinemosu, please use this stop...*
**[16:22] Jumpei**
Miyako, you're so fast—
**[16:25] Jumpei**
Mmmko?
**[16:26] Miyako**
I was really happy!
About a lot of stuff with you!
**[16:32] Miyako**
I thought I could like you
as much as I wanted!
**[16:35] Miyako**
I was so happy!
**[16:38] Jumpei**
Sorry.
**[16:39] Jumpei**
Sorry, Miyako...
***SIGN*** Luou wasn't in his room, so I'm
going to check the home where
Grandmother lives. -Miyako
**[16:56] Jumpei**
*I made her cry...*
**[16:59] Jumpei**
Have you ever visited the
home your grandma's at?
**[17:03] Miyako**
Yeah.
**[17:04] Miyako**
It's by the ocean. It's like a hotel.
**[17:09] Miyako**
It's that cream-colored building.
**[17:16] Miyako**
Jumpei?!
**[17:17] Jumpei**
This music!
**[17:19] Miyako**
Huh?! Music?!
**[17:20] Jumpei**
It's from *Swan Lake*!
**[17:38] Miyako**
Odile?!
**[17:47] Jumpei**
Hey! What are you doing?!
**[17:49] Jumpei**
This is a variation for girls!
**[17:52] Jumpei**
*What're you doing...*
**[17:55] Jumpei**
*with that expression on your face?!*
**[17:57] Jumpei**
Luou!
**[18:01] Luou**
It makes Grandmother happy.
**[18:05] Luou**
It's the variation that woman was good at.
**[18:11] Kozuru**
Excellent.
**[18:13] Kozuru**
That's excellent, Mazuru-chan.
**[18:17] Kozuru**
Excellent.
**[18:20] Kozuru**
Excellent!
**[18:22] Jumpei**
Hey, let's go back!
**[18:24] Jumpei**
If you leave now, you might still make it
for the variation performances!
**[18:30] Luou**
I'm not going.
**[18:31] Jumpei**
You have to!
**[18:33] Jumpei**
You can't be like this.
**[18:35] Jumpei**
You have to go where you can be
acknowledged for being yourself!
**[18:50] Jumpei**
Luou!
**[18:52] Luou**
Go home!
**[18:53] Luou**
This is the first time Grandmother's
actually, finally praising me!
**[18:57] Kozuru**
Amazing...
**[18:59] Kozuru**
You're amazing, Mazuru-chan.
**[19:08] Kozuru**
Oh, excellent!
**[19:09] Miyako**
You can't do it in the sand.
**[19:15] Jumpei**
Luou!
**[19:16] Jumpei**
If you're gonna dance, do Rothbart!
**[19:19] Jumpei**
Let's do what we did on stage
and show your grandma!
**[19:25] Jumpei**
* Luou doesn't need to be recognized by*
* Oikawa, or the ballet world, or society,*
**[19:33] Jumpei**
*but by the one who put the curse on him.*
**[19:35] Kozuru**
Rothbart?
**[19:38] Jumpei**
Yeah! Granny, do you wanna see it?
**[19:40] Kozuru**
Did you know how to dance that?
**[19:43] Kozuru**
What should I do?
**[19:45] Jumpei**
It's amazing, Granny!
**[19:47] Jumpei**
When Luou dances, he changes
everything around him!
**[19:51] Jumpei**
*Back then...*
**[19:55] Jumpei**
*Didn't you feel something, too?*
**[20:00] Jumpei**
Luou's Rothbart is really amazing,
so you should watch, okay, Granny?
**[20:01] Luou**
*What is he saying?*
**[20:03] Luou**
* I told him to go home.*
* Why's he just barging in like this?*
**[20:06] Jumpei**
I'm borrowing this.
**[20:08] Jumpei**
Let's see... I don't know what it's called.
**[20:11] Miyako**
Jumpei, let me see that. I'll find the song.
**[20:15] Jumpei**
Oh, thanks.
**[20:37] Jumpei**
Miya...ko...
**[20:40] Jumpei**
*Wait, we can't in front of Luou...*
**[20:45] Miyako**
Jumpei.
**[20:47] Miyako**
I'm sorry.
**[20:49] Miyako**
Thanks.
**[20:51] Miyako**
You were right.
**[20:56] Jumpei**
Miya...
**[20:58] Luou**
*Again?*
**[21:01] Luou**
*Are you going to get in my way...*
**[21:03] Luou**
*just like before?*
**[21:11] (Flashback) Ayako**
You're in the way.
**[21:12] (Flashback) Ayako**
If you're not going to
perform, then move back.
**[21:14] (Flashback) Kozuru**
Mazuru could...
**[21:15] (Flashback) Kozuru**
Mazuru was more...
**[21:16] (Flashback) Mazuru**
К чёрту!
**[21:19] (Flashback) Mazuru**
К чёрту! К чёрту!
**[21:25] Luou**
*Wai—*
**[21:34] Luou**
This is a charade!
