# Dance Dance Danseur
Second-year junior high school student Murao Jumpei was fascinated by ballet as a boy but gave up on dancing after his father's death, turning to the more "manly" Jeet Kune Do instead. One day, his classmate, Godai Miyako, realizes that he is interested in ballet and invites him to do ballet with her. Jumpei starts frequenting her mother's ballet studio, and his old passion for ballet is revived, leading him to take ballet lessons, but then-- An aloof genius who has undergone special ballet training, Mori Luou, appears before Jumpei.

If you don't stop me from stepping in,
you'll get hit with a "bam!"

Whoa, that was fast! Jeet Kune Do!

Thanks, thanks.

You should join us!

No way. It's in Meguro, right?

That's too far!
**[04:00] Male Students**
Whoa!
**[04:02] Brown-Haired Student**
Was that a flying kick?

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.

*Tingle...*

**[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.

**[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...*

Manly...

*"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**
You're going, right?
**[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?

**[21:58] 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

**[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.

What?! I'm talking about my club!
It's an official school activity—

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

**[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*

You can't stand up right now!

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.*

*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.

You need muscle for high lifts,

Are you a foreigner?

*Is she going to walk home with me?!*
**[17:14] Jumpei**
Oh, um, sorry I suck so bad.
**[17:18] Miyako**
Are you talking about the pas de deux?
**[17:20] Miyako**
No one can do it well on the first try.
**[17:23] Miyako**
Let's do our best.
**[17:25] Jumpei**
He's... been doing this
since he was little, right?
**[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?
**[19:21] Miyako**
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**
I can't perform in that.

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**

Hey, Jumpei, you came to get a peek

**[03:57] Soccer Club Member A**
I'll bet you're curious since
he lives with Godai-san.
**[04:01] Jumpei**
That's not it!
**[04:03] 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!
**[05:16] Soccer Club Member A**
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**
This is a pen!

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*

**[19:53] Soccer Club Member A**
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.
**[20:10] Jumpei**
I wanted to show everyone how manly I was.

But...
**[20:15] Jumpei**
*Being "manly"...*
**[20:18] Jumpei**
*Being "cool"...*
**[20:21] Jumpei**
*means being able to stick to my beliefs!*
**[20:24] Jumpei**
I want to get serious and

*If I can do that, then let them laugh at me!*

When have you ever seen a prince

I didn't think about that!

**[02:22] Jumpei**
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**
Murao!
**[05:06] Class 2 Teacher**
Don't run—or jump—in the halls!
**[05:09] Class 2 Teacher**
What *is* that, anyway? What are you doing?!
**[05:11] Jumpei**
Coupé-jeté en tournant!
**[05:14] Jumpei**
It's ballet!
**[05:17] Hyouta**
He's so damn loud.
**[05:20] Jumpei**

**[05:23] Jumpei**
*If I stop...*
**[05:24] Jumpei**
*I'll die!*
**[05:27] Jumpei**
*I...*
**[05:28] Jumpei**
*can do ballet now!*
**[05:33] (Flashback) Jumpei**
I'll become a danseur noble in Russia.
**[05:39] (Flashback) Chizuru**
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*
* of dancing the way I want to...*
**[13:00] Jumpei**
*What the heck?*
**[13:03] Jumpei**
*How far does that mean I can go?*

is of a ballet tutu. -from Staff
**[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
competitions and get a scholarship.
**[13:19] Chizuru**
Right?
**[13:22] Chizuru**
In exchange for arranging for you
to enter overseas competitions,
**[13:25] Chizuru**
I gave you two conditions:
**[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?!

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
with your costume on?
**[07:37] Chizuru**
I just fixed your makeup!
**[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.
**[08:22] Chizuru**

**[09:25] Miyako**
Okay.

At first,
**[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**
That was, well...
**[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!

**[12:47] Mom A**
"I love you."
**[12:48] Mom A**
You can almost hear him saying it.
**[12:50] Mom B**
Yes, you really can!
**[12:52] Mom B**
Jumpei-kun's completely different
from the dress rehearsal.
**[12:55] Mom B**
He's like a different
person! It's wonderful!
**[12:58] Yuria's Mom**
Really?
**[12:59] Yuria's Mom**
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...

**[21:19] Chizuru**
On the other hand...
**[21:20] Chizuru**
Jumpei, you—

Crap...
**[21:26] Jumpei**
I had *so* much fun...

Godai-sensei used to be part of the

**[00:32] Yuria's Mom**
Yes, we enrolled at Godai Ballet Studio
because of its connections to Oikawa.
**[00:39] MC**

* 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.

**[08:58] Instructor A**
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**
is a requirement for being
scouted as a special student.
**[10:16] Nakamura**
Everyone, please go to your place
at the barre when I tell you to.
**[10:20] Nakamura**

I am your instructor, Nakamura.
**[10:33] Nakamura**
All of you here are studying
at various studios.
**[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!
**[11:02] Nakamura**
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?

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

**[12:03] Jumpei**
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**

**[12:22] Nakamura**

*What am I going to do with these two?*

* 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!*
**[12:56] Tsumamura**
Sorry I'm late.
**[12:57] Tsumamura**
The class before this ran late.
**[13:02] Tsumamura**
I'm the pianist, Tsumamura.
**[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,

It is something inherently different

*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.

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,*

**[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've gotten a lot better in

Oh, thanks...

What's with you? You scared me!

**[08:13] Yamato**

You two were there, too?
**[08:17] 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?*

Anyway, you were right to switch to Oikawa.

It was a good decision!
**[08:53] Jumpei**
No! It was my fault we got dumped on!

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.

***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."

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.

**[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.

Ah, just what I'd expect from

**[05:24] Jumpei**
No, no, no.
**[05:27] Natsuki**
I'm not gonna match your movements
the way Miyako-chan does.
**[05:32] Jumpei**
Huh? What are you talking about?
**[05:34] Kotobuki**
Hey, Jumpei-kun!
**[05:36] Jumpei**
What is it?
**[05:38] Kotobuki**
I thought I'd heard the name "Natsuki" before.
**[05:41] Kotobuki**
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.

**[02:16] Jumpei**
Hey, I wanted to talk
to you about something.
**[02:19] Jumpei**
Can we talk on the way home?
**[02:22] Yamamoto**
Wow! Luou, that's amazin'!
**[02:24] Kotobuki**
I think he's more flexible
than some of the regular girls.
**[02:28] Yamamoto**
I can't do it!
**[02:29] Jumpei**
The splits you're starting
from are different.
***SIGN*** Ideal
***SIGN*** Jumpei
**[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.*
**[06:45] Ayako**
Next.
**[06:46] Nakamura**
Luou.
**[06:52] Luou**
*Ни пуха ни пера.*
***SIGN*** I pray for your success.
**[06:57] (Flashback) Mazuru**
К чёрту.
***SIGN*** To the devil!
**[06:59] (Flashback) Mazuru**
Luou, I'll definitely come back for you!
**[07:04] (Flashback) Mazuru**
If you start missing me,
just say this charm.
**[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**
Jumpei-kun.
**[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.
***SIGN*** Office
***SIGN*** Office
**[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**
*I'll find a good time to talk to her.*
**[16:21] Jumpei**
* But today's only the seventh day of*

*But Luou's the best.*

*He cannot become a professional.*

The curse on that boy isn't
something that is easily broken.

It's too early for nostalgia!
**[17:07] Kotobuki**
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...
**[17:54] Misaki**
I understand how Luou feels!
**[17:56] Misaki**
Did ya even realize
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
the best part for yourself!
**[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!
**[18:49] Jumpei**
*That's all...*
**[18:50] Jumpei**
* That's all there is to it.*
* What's wrong with that?*

*I want Chizuru-san to teach me.*

**[19:42] Miyako**
I'm glad... I caught you!
**[19:45] Miyako**
Look, I grabbed a bunch of movie flyers.
**[19:48] Miyako**
You like movies, right?
**[19:50] Miyako**
I thought it'd be nice to get an After 5
ticket for an amusement park, too,
**[19:54] Miyako**
but we'd only be there for a couple of hours.
**[19:56] Jumpei**
Oh, you mean tomorrow?

*I can't believe it...*
**[20:01] Jumpei**
*She's super excited about it!*
**[20:05] Jumpei**
*I've decided. I'll stay at Godai!*
**[20:08] Jumpei**
* Yeah, I mean, Chizuru-san*
* focuses on the basics like Oikawa.*
**[20:12] Jumpei**
* Besides, there's no one at Oikawa*
* who's better than Luou.*
**[20:16] (Flashback) Ayako**
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...
**[20:41] Jumpei**
But I'm not going.
**[20:43] Jumpei**
That said...
**[20:44] Jumpei**
I'm comin' in!
**[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!
**[21:01] Jumpei**
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
who needs to be shown to the world!
**[21:28] Jumpei**
Make her eat her damn words!
**[21:30] Jumpei**
C'mon!

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

* 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?*

**[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*

Miyako, you're not gonna eat any?

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...

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

**[11:34] (Flashback) Miyako (young)**
And *you're* weird for not going to school!

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)**

**[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?
**[16:02] Miyako**
What about... us?
**[16:05] Bus Announcement**
* 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!
