[00:01] (Flashback) Chizuru
    In exchange for arranging for you
    to enter overseas competitions,
[00:04] (Flashback) Chizuru
    I gave you two conditions:
[00:06] (Flashback) Chizuru
    go to school and win MVP
    at the ballet festival.
[00:12] (Flashback) Chizuru
    To do that, you need
    to participate in lesso—
[00:14] (Flashback) Luou
    I...
[00:15] (Flashback) Luou
    don't think I can study
    under you, after all.
[00:19] (Flashback) Luou
    I can't bear to stand on the
    same stage as that wild monkey.
[00:22] (Flashback) Luou
    He wants to be a Bolshoi 
    or Mariinsky danseur noble?
[00:27] (Flashback) Luou
    How ridiculous!
[00:29] (Flashback) Jumpei
    Why did you dance in the gym?
[00:31] (Flashback) Jumpei
    It's amazing, you know?
[00:34] (Flashback) Jumpei
    You've got like, a fan club now,
[00:36] (Flashback) Jumpei
    and the video from it is super popular.
[00:39] (Flashback) Jumpei
    Everything changed
    because of that whole thing!
[00:40] (Flashback) Luou
    Nothing's changed.
[00:42] (Flashback) Luou
    Those guys lost interest in me
    because you distracted them.
[00:48] (Flashback) Jumpei
    What?!
[00:49] (Flashback) Jumpei
    That's not it!
[00:51] (Flashback) Jumpei
    That's not it at all!
[00:53] (Flashback) Jumpei
    Your dancing actually reached them, too!
[00:57] (Flashback) Jumpei
    At least, I was able to
    tell them back then...
[01:01] (Flashback) Junpei
    and I'm here right now because...
[01:04] (Flashback) Junpei
    Because when you danced,
    it ended up changing my life!
[01:10] (Flashback) Jumpei
    That's why, you bastard...
[01:14] (Flashback) Jumpei
    In other words, um...
[01:18] (Flashback) Jumpei
    Thanks.
[01:23] (Flashback) Jumpei
    Anyway, I said what I wanted to say,
[01:25] (Flashback) Jumpei
    so I'm gonna go now!
[01:28] (Flashback) Jumpei
    Oh, one more thing.
[01:30] (Flashback) Jumpei
    It's true that I'm a wild
    monkey compared to you,
[01:34] (Flashback) Jumpei
    and I'm knee-deep in basic training.
[01:38] (Flashback) Jumpei
    But you know,
[01:40] (Flashback) Jumpei
    while you keep hiding in your room,
[01:42] (Flashback) 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?!
[04:17] Miyako
    Shh!

    In the ending of our version of Swan Lake*,
[05:02] Jumpei
    the instant the prince rushes in...
[05:05] Chizuru
    Jumpei, don't stomp around like that!
[05:08] Jumpei
    The princess is killed in front of his eyes*
    by Rothbart, played by Luou.
[05:13] Jumpei
    And then,
[05:14] Jumpei
    the prince and Rothbart fight...
[05:16] Chizuru
    Jumpei, pull harder!
[05:19] Jumpei
    And fight...

    Your fingers!
[05:22] Chizuru
    Your toes!
[05:23] Chizuru
    Your knees!
[05:25] Jumpei
    But the prince loses in no time.
[05:32] Jumpei
    He takes the princess's hand,
[05:36] Jumpei
    and they're swallowed up by the stormy lake.

     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
    This is the last time you'll be able to 
    dance this Swan Lake with this group.
[08:31] Chizuru
    So...
[08:33] Chizuru
    Go out there and have fun!
[08:35] Girls
    Okay!

[08:51] Jumpei
    What's wrong?
[08:53] Miyako
    If I look down, my tears will fall
    and mess up my makeup...
[08:58] Jumpei
    What? Just from Chizuru-san's little pep talk?
[09:08] Jumpei
    Come on, let's go.
[09:11] Miyako
    Thanks. You're such a prince!
[09:19] Jumpei
    I guess this is the last time*
    I'll be Miyako's prince, too.
[09:24] Jumpei
    Stairs coming up.
[09:25] Miyako
    Okay.
[09:35] Miyako
    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!
[10:29] Jumpei
    I-I can't tell!
[10:31] Jumpei
    She's got such heavy makeup on,
    but she looks embarrassed...

    Am I missing something important right now?

    Oh, coming!

    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!

    C'mon! I wanna go!
