**[00:00] Audience**
Encore! Encore! Encore!
**[00:01] Hyouta**
Jumpei!
**[00:12] MC**
*We will now have the award ceremony*
**[00:15] MC**
* announcing the MVP for*
* the 79th Ballet Festival.*
**[00:16] Audience A**
It's definitely the Rothbart
boy, don't you think?
**[00:18] Audience B**
I want him and the prince to both win!
**[00:22] MC**
* This is Special Judge Oikawa Ayako-san, Artistic*
* Director of the Oikawa Haruka Ballet Company.*
**[00:29] Mom A**
Godai-sensei used to be part of the
Oikawa Haruka Ballet Company, right?
**[00:32] Yuria's Mom**
Yes, we enrolled at Godai Ballet Studio
because of its connections to Oikawa.
**[00:39] MC**
*Today's MVP is...*
**[00:43] MC**
* Kawasaki Misono-san*
* from Takara Ballet Studio.*
**[00:46] ---**
Good job!
**[00:47] MC**
*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.
**[06:34] Hyouta**
Drag her into it.

**[07:16] Jumpei**
Why am I doing ballet?
**[07:22] Jumpei**
What?! Most of the younger kids withdrew?!
**[07:26] Chizuru**
Oh, you told him.
**[07:28] Miyako**
He would've figured it out eventually.
**[07:30] Miyako**
The girls from the 14-and-up class, too...
**[07:34] Miyako**
Jumpei?
**[07:36] Yuria's Mom**
* It appears Godai-sensei will not stop*

*All right!*
**[07:56] Jumpei**
I get it! I'll...
**[07:59] (Flashback) Hyouta**
Drag her into it.
**[08:01] Jumpei**
...make Oikawa Ayako acknowledge me!
**[08:05] Jumpei**
Luou!
**[08:07] Jumpei**
What the hell's that stretch?
Teach it to me later.
**[08:09] Jumpei**
But first, look at this!

I found it yesterday!

Yeah, no... I don't want to go!
**[08:26] Luou**
This has nothing to do with me.
You can just go by yourself!
**[08:29] Jumpei**
It *does* have to do with you.
**[08:31] Jumpei**
You were frustrated, right?
Enough to bang on the wall.
**[08:34] Jumpei**
We'll make her acknowledge us!

**[08:51] Luou**
Is that what it says?
**[08:53] Jumpei**
Huh?
**[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**
Starting in front of the mirror
from the piano side...
**[10:23] Nakamura**
Kotobuki-kun.
**[10:24] Nakamura**
Misaki-kun.
**[10:26] Nakamura**
Yamato-kun.
**[10:31] 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?
**[11:43] Jumpei**
Luou?
**[11:46] Ayako**
Make sure you do a thorough
background check on those two.
**[11:51] Ayako**
I'm going to take both of them.
**[11:58] Jumpei**
I'm Murao Jumpei, currently studying
at the Godai Ballet Studio!
**[12:01] Jumpei**
I've been doing ballet for...
**[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**
I see.
**[12:22] Nakamura**
What about you?
**[12:25] Luou**
Mori... Luou...
**[12:28] Luou**
My grandmother... taught me...
**[12:31] Nakamura**
Huh? What did you say?
**[12:33] Jumpei**
*Why is he going into bullied kid mode?*
**[12:37] Nakamura**
*What am I going to do with these two?*
**[12:40] Nakamura**
* Did Ayako-san choose them just*
* because of their raw talent?*
**[12:45] Nakamura**
* He has not only the right build,*
* but a pretty face, too...*
**[12:48] Nakamura**
* And look at the feet on the one who*
* doesn't seem to know anything about ballet!*
**[12:53] Nakamura**
*Those feet!*
**[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!

She saw right through my audacity...
***SIGN*** Arghhhhh!
**[23:38] Jumpei**
I thought I could overcome the difference
between us with my sensibilities...
