Welcome to the Ballroom (ボールルームへようこそ)

You can't win against Gaju. 100 percent.

Who you need to defeat is...

Shizuku, right?

You become Mako's frame.

Let me ask of you...

Please.

Make me bloom!

Yes, one sec 'til contact

Two sec and check my toe Three sec shall we dance, right?

Tick tock as the gears start to turn

But only the one foot placed keeps going

Something's odd I can't remember how to breathe

As each day keeps rolling playing

The most vital heart won't sing

What's the matter? Is an opportunistic score needed?

Sometimes you shouldn't read the situation

One beat, praise, light the fire!

Playing tricks like such a melodrama?

If you're just gonna laugh I'm outta here

Now style a pure heart Change on over

Then you can go anywhere The door is left open

Go on and perform

Take me out! After I shyly take your hand

Let's show off this rhythm of surprise

The way you dance with the world

It's too good I want you to show me a little at a time

Take me out! 110% sympathy

It's a secret that we've linked

Because to see you this close

I may be the only one since the dawn of history, right?

One sec 'til contact

Two sec and check my toe Three sec shall we dance, right!

HEAT 9- FLOWER & FRAME

TENPEI CUP

We will now begin the Tenpei Cup finals.

Ah! There you are!

Where the heck were you?! I thought you got cold feet and ran off!

The lighting has changed.

Why's he out of breath?

No. 23! Hurry and line up!

Listen, make sure to pace yourself in the finals.

Unlike the semifinals, you're gonna be on the floor the whole time.

And do you know the term "Flower and Frame?"

The frame that Hyodo was talking about means the leader's role to--

I understand.

I'll do it! I'll become the frame!

The order is as follows.

Entry No. 8.

No. 23.

No. 15.

No. 41.

No. 37.

So you guys are second. Your final solo.

Solo?!

The Tenpei Cup's final always begins with this.

The solos are judged individually.

Which means, just the two of you will be on the floor for one whole minute.

Just the two of us...

The individual judging's a big chance for you guys.

Because you won't be compared to the other competitors.

To the seven pairs, once the prior couple finishes,

swiftly proceed to the floor before the music begins.

Um, what is the solo's style?

Why do you think I made a special variation for just one dance?

What? Then...

Be glad!

The Tenpei Cup's solo dance every year is

-the Quick-- -...the Waltz!

Huh?

Right, Coach?

Well if you say so, Marisa-chan...

Thank you, Coach!

That darn woman...

The first couple, entry No. 8.

Hideki Miura & Minako Nakajima.

The final solo...

the Waltz.

It's begun!

The waltz, huh...

Don't even think about doing Hyodo's variation.

A beginner doing that is like asking to be worn out...

Tatara-san...

Tatara-san...

Tatara-san!

I'm... going to trust you and dance!

The second couple, entry No. 23.

Tatara Fujita & Mako Akagi.

Oh, No. 23.

Tatara Fujita, huh.

I'm sure this is his first time in a final round.

Moreover, a solo performance?

Hey...

Look at that...

Isn't that boy a little too nervous?

Whoa, look at that stiff face!

It's cold! I feel the cold blood flowing down from my head.

My body's starting to lock up.

Hurry...

Hurry and play the music!

My body wants to get hot!

A natural turn to a spin turn.

It's the same steady basics seen in the semifinals.

So you got enough room to be puttin' on a smile.

I forgot he was that type of guy!

He's normally wimpy and timid,

but at times he gets oddly confident.

And at the most important moments, he's incredibly tough.

Just repeatin' the basics in a final solo...

This sure kills the mood.

Though, that's probably all he can dance.

What's this awkward feeling?

Two whisks in a row...

The line of dance...

It changed!

Fujita-kun's moves are different from usual...

I won't do Hyodo-kun's choreography!

I won't, but...

Don't dance alone anymore.

You become Mako's frame.

A Throwaway Oversway from a Double Turning Lock!

I don't want a dance like the semifinals!

Just focus on your job!

I am a frame.

Mako-chan is the flower.

These guys put in a variation?

Weren't they just doing the basics a second ago?!

That was... one of Hyodo's variation figures!

He slipped one in.

What's that kid thinkin'?!

Applause?

I can't hear it...

My heart's so loud.

But compared to the cold tension before dancing...

it's a good beating!

Tatara-san has a natural smile on his face.

And his lead is coming through!

We've come halfway. What should we do next?

How should we use the floor?

The next figure is...

I found myself clapping just now.

They did appeal to the crowd at a good spot.

That leader was so tense before the music came on,

but he's got a good flow.

Did they just come to stir up the crowd?

It was clearly a floor composition calculated for performance.

I didn't get the impression No. 23 was an experienced performer though...

Natural spin turn.

Whisk.

He's back to the basics again.

What a weird routine.

It's centered on the basics, but they randomly put in special moves.

Huh? They're doing the high hover again.

A routine?

Wrong.

This variation...

It's a Same Foot Lunge to a right leg Develope?!

What are you doing, Fujita-kun?

This figure...

He's mixing in our variation...

and improvising?!

I'm sorry, Hanaoka-san and Hyodo-kun. I copied part of your original routine.
