"Some say I'm a loner" "Mana says I'm like a stray cat" "I don't mind to be a Loner cat" "I do mind that I have no choice" "Kazuma, how many times have I told you" "The company doesn't allow us to keep a cat in the apartment!" "But mom promised us" "That was..." "What mom promised was that if we moved to a bigger place, then we can have a cat" "Actually..." "The kitten is my birthday gift to Subaru" "Kazuma" "Listen to me" "Send the kitten back to where it came from" "I'm sorry, Subaru" "We just can't have a cat, it's no big deal" "They are still practicing "Swan Lake" today" ""To Kazuma Happy Birthday Subaru"" "This... is this me?" "He is Prince Albrecht from "Giselle"" "The Prince needs a partner to dance with" "It's the music box that mom promised" "But now I don't have a birthday gift for you" "When I grow up," "I'll get you a black cat for sure, and a house that allows cats" "On our seventh birthday" "Mom took Kazuma and me to watch "Swan Lake"" "And she promised us ballet lessons" "But fate delivered a blow to our dreams" "Miyamoto Subaru, Miyamoto Subaru" "Subaru" "Stop following me" "We just want to see Kazuma" "Hey, Subaru, wait!" "Subaru, Subaru" "Hey, Subaru, wait up" "Forget it, Mana" "She's a weirdo, just forget about her" "It's raining" "Let's go" "Subaru, you're early today" "Your father is talking to the doctor" "According to these results, the growing tumor is increasing pressure on the brain" "Kazuma's memory will slowly vanish" "Just like my wife before she died" "Setsuko also had severe memory loss" "Doctor, is this a hereditary disease?" "Subaru is Kazuma's twin sister" "Will Subaru develop this disease?" "As to the hereditary aspect of cancer, we just don't know for certain" "Kazuma, everything you forget," "I promise to remember for you, OK?" "You had rice this morning, Kazuma" "Miso soup" "Fried egg" "And... fish" "Do you remember?" "What kind of fish?" "It's a fish like this" "Subaru" "I... am so scared" "It won't be very long" "I'll forget many things" "Maybe... one day," "I'll even forget all about you, Subaru" "Kazuma, Kazuma" "Kazuma, don't fall asleep!" "Wake up!" "Kazuma, hang in there!" "Look!" "It's a cat!" "A cat who likes to do ballet!" "How was it, Kazuma?" "It's great!" "Kazuma" "When you get well, we'll go learn ballet together" "We have a class this Saturday too" "Make sure you don't forget!" "Okay" "Mana" "Mana" "Did you tell your classmates about mom's ballet classes?" "I did ask around" "A couple of them will come" "You mentioned a classmate who is good at gymnastics," "Have you asked her?" "You mean Subaru?" "She doesn't have the potential to learn ballet" "She's far too boorish!" "Daddy" "Subaru, what happened here?" "I bumped into something" "Subaru" "Get something to eat before going home" "Daddy has to go back to the office later" "Sorry to keep you waiting" "Thank you" "Subaru, this is not right" "I've told you many times not to dance here" "You don't have to be that angry" "The dance she performs for her brother is even better than your medicine!" "A cat?" "Miss Hibino" "You're not allowed to bring cats into the hospital!" "Haven't I told you that before?" "I've asked it not to visit me but the kitty doesn't listen to me!" "Is that auntie's cat?" "It's auntie's cat" "You want to go over to her?" "I found her on the street!" "Your style is interesting" "Why don't you learn to dance properly?" "If I learn properly, will I dance better?" "Mana, are these your classmates?" "Look, Subaru got here much earlier" "It's a pleasure to learn with you, Mana" "Why did you come here?" "Welcome, everyone!" "Let's begin with a few simple warm up steps!" "Yes" ""Kureha Mako's Ballet Studio"" "Subaru!" "Why so late?" "Been off somewhere having fun?" "I did come earlier but Kazuma was having a check up" "So I went over to Mana's place" "Mana's mother is a ballet teacher" "She said I dance well" "Forget about it!" "Daddy" "I haven't asked for anything... since Kazuma became ill" "I'll only go to lessons twice a week!" "I'll still take care of Kazuma everyday" "Do you know... why Kazuma had a check-up today?" "Do you think you can really take care of Kazuma?" "I am learning ballet for Kazuma!" "As long as he can watch me dance," "Kazuma will get well for sure" "What nonsense!" "Kazuma has been staying in his bed" "He cannot do anything for himself" "Don't you feel sorry for him?" "And all you care about is your own fun!" "I never knew you were this kind of kid!" "I did not go off and play and I feel sorry for Kazuma but I didn't make him sick!" ""Subaru, sorry..."" "When did you become so unreasonable?" "I've always been like this" "All you care about is Kazuma!" "Kazuma is the only important one" "Kazuma..." "Kazuma..." "I wish he would disappear!" "Subaru!" "Kazuma, Kazuma, can you hear me?" "Kazuma" "Please take care of Miyamoto Kazuma" "We're ready" "Kazuma, hang in there!" "Subaru, Kazuma is having his check-up" "Your father asked you to wait here" "What has happened to Kazuma?" "The doctors are taking care of him, don't worry!" "Don't lie to me!" "How is Kazuma?" "Inject Dopamine" "If you can't come to the dancing classes" "I'll teach you ballet, okay?" "No" "I really don't want to learn anymore" "Kazuma looked so happy... when he saw you dancing" "Do it for Kazuma!" "Don't you want to learn ballet properly?" "We can practice here" "Follow my moves" "I'll teach you a part from "Giselle"" "Village girl Giselle was fooled by her Prince Albrecht and died afterwards" "Prince Albrecht feels guilty for what he did and dances to apologize for Giselle's death" "Giselle?" "Mom took Kazuma and me to watch it once" "It's a dance of apology?" "I have to apologize to Kazuma" "Doing the lab tests now" "Start checking..." "Dance, Subaru!" "Dance, Subaru!" "Dance, Subaru!" "Dance, Subaru!" "Kazuma" "Subaru" "As Kazuma left he was still calling your name, Subaru" "I heard you, Kazuma" "I heard you clearly" "Subaru" "Hey!" "It's you?" "Where are you going?" ""Dance-Strip dance-Ballet" "Swan Lake, Giselle"" "Ouch, that hurts!" "You scared me!" "Where did it come from, huh?" "Auntie?" "I think we've met somewhere before" "Look at you!" "You're all wet!" "Come!" "Here, dry yourself off a little" "Silly me!" "I overslept again!" "Kazuma" "When you get well, we'll go learn ballet together" "Sada, your fat pig leg!" "These guys are pretty good, aren't they!" "As long as you can make the customers laugh" "Sada" "Who wants to see your ugly armpit hair!" "Put on the strippers!" "Take it off!" "Take it off!" "Take it off!" "Make some noise!" "Yeah, do a striptease!" "Go off!" "Do a striptease!" "Mariko!" "I want to see Mariko!" "So annoying!" "It's only 9 o'clock" "What's wrong with tonight's customers?" "Looks like Mariko needs to make her entrance earlier tonight!" "Hey" "Why are men such jerks?" "Mariko, the customers are annoying tonight" "It's going to be tough out there" "Hello everyone" "Hello, Subaru" "Is it Saturday today?" "No, I'm pretty sure it's not" "Where's auntie?" "Auntie..." "Mariko, go on stage first" "What's this?" "It's not Saturday!" "Auntie" "I have something to discuss with you" "Sorry, we have to close for a few days" "What's wrong?" "It just came" "Your period?" "No, not at this time, of all times?" "Being a woman is so troublesome" "The Jasmine sisters?" "Get them to come earlier" "They are probably still in Kabuki-Cho" "Let me perform!" "How about Haruko?" "She's on leave" "Auntie, let me perform!" "Stop this nonsense" "How about me?" "Boss" "There's a reason I want to be on stage" "First it's the money" "Ms. Kureha's dance classes cost more now" "Have you forgotten your agreement with auntie?" "Performance on Saturdays only" "Yes, because the Saturday customers are more sophisticated" "But at this moment, do you really have a choice?" "You want to go on stage" "Which dance are you planning to perform?" ""Bolero"" "Striptease!" "Striptease!" "Striptease!" "Striptease!" "Is this a joke?" "What are we going to do, Boss?" "Stop the crappy dance" "We'll wait and see" "I told you to take off your clothes!" "What?" "You want a fight?" "What do you want?" "Sada, stop it!" "Okay, I understand..." "Amazing!" "Subaru" "Have the Jasmine sisters arrived yet?" "Sorry for the wait" "You're here" "Go take off your clothes" "Striptease always works the best" "That was such a wild Bolero!" "It's the first time I've seen anything like that!" "What's so great about it?" "It's just an imitation of Sylvie Guillem" "I saw that" "At Ueno Culture Hall?" "Or Kousei Nenkin?" "That was great!" "Oh, Sylvie Guillem" "I knew Kureha Mako... wouldn't teach Bolero to young students" "You could imitate Sylvie Guillem" "You're amazing" "But that's the problem" "What's so great in just imitating the movement of Bolero?" "There is no emotions from the heart" "I couldn't feel a thing" "Never mind" "Two nights a week" "Didn't you need to earn more?" "But you'll have to start perform in a sexy way" "Don't talk nonsense!" "Auntie" "Goodbye" "Boss" "It's good to start with the movements anyway" "Do you remember the first time Subaru performed here?" "She came every night after her brother, Kazuma, died" "How many times do I have to tell you?" "This is no place for children" "Come after you grow up and are ready to perform striptease" "You said you've learnt Prince Albrecht's solo dance" "Yes" "Come over here" "You want this kid to play Albrecht instead of me?" "It's just a two or three minute section" "Hey you, put this on and wake up the drunkards" "You thought you could scare her off once and for all?" "You are so cruel!" "This kid... she has the power to survive" "She has emotions to be unleashed" "But now she cares too much about appearances and needs a little direction" "Thanks for the hard work" "You too" "Here!" "Thank you" "What a gutsy girl!" "Brave enough to perform that Bolero!" "Are you talking to me?" "Is there anyone else here?" "What's your name?" "Subaru" "Miyamoto Subaru" "So, Miyamoto Subaru" "Are you ready to accept a little criticism?" "You're a ballet dancer too?" "I haven't tried the Bolero yet" "Your performance was very energetic but lacking in technique" "You haven't been dancing very long, have you?" "What's the problem?" "Rudolf Nureyev was also a genius although he started dancing late" "Mr. Koike, I'll be off now" "Subaru, you're still here?" "I'm heading to the store; walk with me?" "I was just talking to the Boss about how she pushed you on stage to perform Giselle" "Do you still remember?" "What happened?" "What are you doing?" "Go home!" "Go away!" "I was terrified" "The feeling was like the fear of visiting Kazuma in the hospital" "If Kazuma died, what should I do for the rest of my life?" "Dance" "Dancing feels so much better than crying alone" "Dance" "Subaru, dance from the bottom of your heart!" "I don't remember how..." "I survived that dance" "All I can remember are Auntie's words" "Subaru" "Kazuma didn't take everything away" "He has left you one legacy - dancing" "Okay, see you tomorrow" "Goodnight Goodnight" "I like your name" "Subaru Miyamoto" "What a cool name!" "It'll look cool up in the lights on the front of a theatre!" "My name's Liz" "Liz Park" "Liz Park" "One ticket please" "Good evening" "Is the owner here?" "Can I help you, sir?" "Someone reported a high school student dancing here" "There is no such thing..." "They are all old ladies..." "There's a problem, the police are here!" "We're running a business here" "The place is on fire!" "The place is on fire!" "Subaru" "The police are here; go hide!" "Subaru" "Mana" "You run really fast" "You want something to drink?" "You... were at the theatre?" "I watched your performance" "Really?" "Someone said you were dancing part time at the Palais Garnier" "Mana, why are you always spying on me when I dance?" "That's not true" "My mom asked me to look for you" "There's a big audition tomorrow" "Audition?" "There is an Arts Festival next month" "They urgently need a group dancer for the performance of "Swan Lake"" "Mom has picked..." "Asako, me and you for the audition" "Oh, really?" "You weren't at class today and you don't have a cell phone so here I am" "Do you really think you should be dancing in a dump like this?" "I have to earn money so that I can learn ballet and" "I happen to like the Palais Garnier" "The Palais Garnier is just a strip club" "How could they steal the name of such a famous Paris theatre!" "Mana, you don't understand" "Are you saying... you plan to dance here forever?" "I hadn't thought for the future" "I have to go back" "Today's practice was alright" "Why are you smiling?" "I'm rather angry actually" "Auntie's alright" "It is a high compliment" "Really?" "I want to become a professional ballet dancer" "Huh?" "I want to become a professional ballet dancer" "I like her confidence" "Who is this?" "Chen" "How are you?" "What brings you here?" "I miss you!" "I know" "This is Subaru" "This is Chen she runs a small ballet company in New York," "Nice to meet you" "Nice to meet you, too" "She has a good build" "Just a body." "Come with me Okay" "Subaru" "This is the decision of a lifetime" "Have you thought it over?" "Yup" "Really" "Why is she here?" "I persuaded mom to add her name to the call list" "Oh!" "I get it!" "You want her to taste defeat?" "Mana, you'll be the best" "You can make it!" "I know" "This is for fun" "Don't be disappointed if you don't get short-listed" "I understand" "I'll wait outside" "Good luck" "Teacher Kumazawa" "Hello everyone, my name is Kim" "Let me make this clear first" "We will only select one replacement today" "Our group dancers will dance a section with you" "Miss Kureha's daughter... looks pretty good" "Yes" "But her movements are not very coherent" "The girl in maroon is not bad either" "That's Kureha's daughter, Mana" "Then who is that girl?" "She is another student of Miss Kureha" "Miyamoto Subaru" "I think we should go with Kureha Mana" "Miyamoto, you are too slow" "Yes" "You're slow again" "Miyamoto, you are the only one not following the beat" "Stop the music!" "I'm sorry" "Your moves are too big and they slow you down" "These crude moves would not be taught by Miss Kureha" "You must have been learning from someone else" "That person who taught you such group style must be an idiot, knowing nothing about ballet!" "You probably... have never danced with others, right?" "Yes, I have" "What performance?" "Does it matter?" "Nevermind," "I'll not waste my time with a student who has been taught by an idiot!" "Please leave the room" "Subaru, just go now" "I'm sorry, Teacher" "Give me a week" "What?" "It's just a group dance" "I just need one week to show you the dance perfectly" "I said I didn't want you" "I have decided to give the role to Kureha Mana" "Give me one week and I will change your mind" "Look" "Group dance is all about the beauty of the overall composition" "It's depending on a tacit understanding between the dancers" "Without looking at the others all movements are still in unity" "How could I explain this?" "When the dancers move, they send out messages through the air" "Like this, "Ha!"" "Or like this, "Whoa!"" "Different messages are in the air for others to receive" "Everybody dances in union" "But we were in sync when we performed together" "We adjusted ourselves to be in sync with you" "When you were little," ""Let Subaru be herself", that's what she said" ""Message in the air"" "In fact, everyone sends out messages as he or she moves" "If you don't try to feel them on purpose you will never receive those messages" "This one looks good Yes, and it's cheap too" "Have you confirmed it?" "Then order 100 for me now" "That one, that one below" "Please take one" "Please..." "Goodness!" "What are you doing?" "What kind of game are you playing?" "Hey" "Are you hungry?" "A little bit" "My name is Kohei" "Subaru" "Let's go" "Thanks Okay" "This "Message in the air" experiment doesn't seem to be working" "If you want to experience cool moves" "I have a suggestion" "Have you seen street dances?" "Some friends of mine perform street dancing every weekend" "You should come see it!" "Are you asking me out on a date?" "Could be!" "If it is a date, then I'm on!" "Auntie once said" ""All experiences are precious for artistic creation"" "Thanks for the food" "Hey" "How about Sunday?" "I'll think about it" "At least give me your mobile number?" "I don't have a mobile phone" "Goodbye" "Hey" "Awesome, isn't it?" "My friend's team is now dancing" "Taku, in the white vest is the leader of "Salu Jilu"" "He danced in New York before" "Nobody ever matched him" "Who are you?" "Stop it, stop it, hang on for a second" "What is it, Liz?" "With your level of skills, Taku you shouldn't be hard on a beginner" "Listen up, Subaru" "Rhythm and center of weight" "Listen to the music" "Feel the rhythm with your body" "Get low on the outside rhythm and rise up on the inside" "If you can understand this" "No matter how the rhythm changes" "You'll still be able to follow" "Next is your center of weight" "It's the contrary to Ballet" "Your waist is being dragged from behind" "Right, this is the Subaru I so look up to" ""Message in the air"" "Everyone sends out messages as he or she moves" "If you don't try to feel them on purpose you will never receive the messages" "I can feel it" "Hey" "I never knew you could dance this well" "Thank you" "How can I find you?" "Well, I can tell you that" "Hey, you forgot something!" "Have we done something wrong?" "I heard from Kim" "Teacher Kumazawa is getting upset because that student dared to talk back to him" "The reason I am so angry is that you cannot dance the "Swan Lake" I want" "Do you understand now?" "Are you planning to do street dance here?" "What are you waiting for, Miyamoto?" "Go change quickly" "Yes, Teacher" "Kureha, Miyamoto, come over here" "Kureha, between the Act 2 and Act 4, choose one to do" "Choose one?" "Yes, Miyamoto will do the other one" "If you can't make up your mind, I'll choose" "Miyamoto, you do the Act 2" "Kureha, you do the Act 4" "That's it" "Mana" "I understand why you are upset" "But you should feel happy for Subaru and encourage her" "That's what friends are for" "You two were classmates since you were small and you two attended dance classes together" "But it's funny that you've never brought her home or gone out with her?" "Very well, this weekend" "Let's invite her over, okay?" "Oh?" "Sure" "This is yours" "You left in a hurry today" "Oh, thank you" ""Message in the air"" "I want to know what it's all about" "Let's go somewhere else" "Same criticism if you don't mind" "Your basic technique still needs a lot of work" "It's not fair" "I've never seen you dance" "I guarantee you will see me dance" "Deal!" "Deal!" "Daddy" "I've been chosen to dance in "Swan Lake" at the Arts Festival" "I know you hated the idea of me learning ballet" "But" "I still hope you'd come to my performance" "I've decided... to become a professional ballet dancer" "Listen, Subaru" "I hope that you can go to university and I have saved up some money" "This was also your mother's last wish" "Your mom used to love ballet too but... a dream is just a dream" "If you don't want to go to university then I'll just consider the money wasted!" "I'm full" "Oh!" "Dessert..." "Let me do it" "Subaru, you're the guest, please be seated" "Thank you" "Subaru" "Yes" "We have desserts" "You can choose from..." "Mom, it's okay" "We have somewhere else to go" "Right, Subaru?" "Yup!" "I'll get my bag" "Thank you for the dinner" "Are they... all your friends?" "Yes" "Liz Park from the American Ballet Theatre" "She's your friend?" "Really?" "Subaru has always been like that?" "Always" "Hey, what's the joke?" "Come on, share with us" "We are gossiping about Subaru" "Oh really?" "Thank you" "Silly girl!" "That shows you care about me, doesn't it?" "Subaru has been very happy lately" "I hope the happiness rubs off on me" "Come!" "A toast to wish Subaru a successful debut" "And Mana's too, of course" "Cheers" "You two are novices" "Have a feel of the atmosphere" ""Dad Hope you would come Subaru"" "Only four acts take more than two hours?" "If you like Subaru, you'd better get used to it" "This" "My candy" "Candy?" "Are you ready?" "Yes, mom" "Calm down, mom" "You're more nervous than I am" "Keep your body straight" "Subaru" "Is your father coming tonight?" "No" "I don't think so" "Subaru, you'll be on stage in a minute" "Mana" "What's the matter?" "Subaru, are you scared?" "Where's your pride?" "It's not the time to be afraid" "Mana" "You wouldn't want me to go on stage for you?" "Don't joke around" "What are you thinking?" "It feels better to dance on stage than hide out crying" "Dance!" "It's time, Hurry up!" "There's no time left" "Do you really want me to stand in for you?" "Mana, thank you for staying with me" "I'm fine now" "Boss, Act 2 is coming up" "Wake up now" "Are you okay?" "Are you sick?" "Shall we go..." "I didn't fall asleep" "Excuse me" "Sorry" "Subaru, that's right" "So is Subaru dancing okay?" "You idiot, she's marvelous" "Miyamoto has improved so much and she's leading the other girls" "They all evolved into a new level" "I think it is just fair" "You danced really well, Subaru" "Subaru" "What a performance!" "Bravo" "Bravo" "Let's go" "Aren't we going backstage?" "Let's go back, we have a business to run" "Thank you for your effort, everybody" "You were fantastic" "Mana, your performance was wonderful" "Everyone loved it!" "But tell me honestly" "Do you regret... taking Subaru to the audition?" "Why would I?" "I'm more happy for her more than anyone else" "Let's go" "I want to go backstage" "What?" "To congratulate Subaru" "Have you heard about the International Ballet Competition in Shanghai?" "No, I haven't" "The International Arts Festival in Shanghai will take place at the end of the year" "There is a ballet competition for young dancers from all over the world" "The winner will be awarded a scholarship to study in a ballet company of their own choice" "But I am not really into competitions" "These international competitions are real fast tracks to a professional ballet company" "Oh yeah" "If you win, you could join me at the American Ballet Theatre" "New York?" "That sounds good" "What competition are you talking about?" "You didn't speak at all on the tram" "Are you thinking about the competition?" "Don't worry!" "I don't know much about the ballet world" "But I believe true talent will succeed at the end of the day" "Are you sure?" "Kohei, I can walk by myself from here" "You don't feel anything?" "Is that a kiss?" "It's not a real kiss" "Well, I kissed you but you didn't kiss me back" "I'm sorry, I'm not too sure" "Good night" "Auntie" "I've decided to enter the ballet competition at the Shanghai International Arts Festival" "Why?" "I thought you hate competitions" "Yes, I hate people judging my dance" "But just this time!" "I want to join this competition" "Really?" "Okay I know" "Auntie" "A terrible fear came over me before I went onstage" "I had a similar feeling before" "There was a moment where time seemed to stop" "Dad thought the illness of Kazuma and mom was hereditary" "Maybe that's why whenever I am about to do something important" "I feel the fear of death thoroughly" "But when the fear subsides" "I feel reborn" "As soon as I go onstage" "I feel an incredible sense of freedom and dance without constraint" "That's great" "The art of "Dancing on the verge of life and death"" "is a realm of relinquishing life" "If a dancer can prolong this state for up to three hours and complete the whole dance in this state" "You can imagine how spine-chilling that dance would be" "All truly great dancers should perform in this state of mind" "Do you understand?" "All I know is that the world of ballet is the only place where I belong" "That's why I've decided to enter this competition" "Subaru" "I've always hoped..." "Well..." "I hope that you can find your own way by following your heart" "The marvelous state that you experienced tonight is unique" "It's a heavenly gift" "But it's also a demon that will possess you by its power" "You can't live without dancing" "You want to participate in the Shanghai Ballet Competition?" "But I was hoping you'd save yourself for the Prix de Lausanne in Switzerland next May" "Give a little more time to refine your skills and you'll have a better chance of winning" "Subaru has already signed up for the Shanghai competition" "Really?" "I didn't know that" "She isn't planning to enroll under... the name of the Kureha Ballet Studio" "It's beyond my ability... to be your competition instructor" "I must refuse" "Also you must stop performing here" "Why?" "Auntie doesn't like me anymore" "She has abandoned me" "It's not true" "Didn't she introduce you to Teacher Amano?" "He's a world renowned dancer" "But now" "I need her most by my side" "Boss" "Enough talking" "But you don't have to act in such a cold-hearted way" "Don't sit down" "Close the door" "Oh, I'll do it myself" "Sada" "If she can't get over such little setbacks how is she going to face the tough ballet world?" "You know the ballet world is full of back-stabbing friends and jealous rivals" "I'm tough because I went through that and so did you" "People like us... how long can we protect her for?" "There is no room for sentiment or she will become a loser like us" "I guess you're right" "Besides" "I don't have any more to teach her" "I really hope that she will become a true dancer" "I will have an operation tomorrow" "The medical report has come back" "Don't tell Subaru" "You want to compete with this level of technique?" "Do you listen to music at all?" "Only ballet music" "What?" "Musicality is an important element in dancing" "It's about how you express the music when you dance" "Here, listen to them at least three times" "Come back in two days" "Off you go" "Looks like your technique has improved a lot" "Will you come and see me off?" "What?" "I'm going back to New York tomorrow" "Something popped up" "Let me go change first, wait for me" "Why didn't you tell her that you are also participating in the Shanghai competition?" "You don't know her at all" "Do you think she cares about who she is competing with?" "But you do" "Sure, I do!" "That's why I'm going to win" "Boss" "Be quiet" "The doctor said you will be discharged tomorrow" "I have to hurry with the packing" "Technique is just a tool" "Dance steps are just like a language" "Do not let the technique dominate you" "You must master technique to express yourself" "Don't expect a "master-stroke" from God" "Performance is not a game of Russian roulette" "You must create your "master-stroke"" "Or you can never became a top dancer" "Whoever heard a dancer apologizing to a full house" ""Sorry, God didn't come to me today."" "Will you do that?" "You've never tried Contemporary Dance, right?" "Never" "We'll start Contemporary Dance from today" "In terms of emotional expression," "Classical Ballet is relatively simpler" "Step into the character you play and you will find all emotion you need to express" "For Contemporary Dance," "You have to express yourself to move the audience" "I never need to step into any character" "Dancing is just about dancing" "Don't be too arrogant" "You know nothing" "Let's start then" "It's all right" "Let's go" "Yes" "Boss, excuse me" "Subaru is leaving..." "You really don't want to come?" "I don't want to let you go" "You know she is not going forever" "Say something encouraging!" "Subaru, do your best!" "Thank you for taking care of me all these years" "Stop right there" "I hate this" "You know it well" "Auntie, have you lost weight?" "Didn't you just say we should be happy for Subaru?" "It's just that kid is all grown up now" "I'm just too happy" "Were you aware that Subaru was my student?" "Yes" "You know Mana is also taking part in this competition" "I only found out later" "Dad" "Liz Park, why are you doing this?" "Tell me" "Miss Kureha, what happened?" "I introduced your dad as Subaru's instructor to Hibino Isuzu" "Teacher Hibino has fallen ill" "No matter he's the father of a competitor" "Subaru needs to look for an instructor anyway" "You planned all this" "You must have a hidden agenda" "Don't make things too complicated" "When I first met Subaru" "I decided that she is my rival" "It's that simple" "Mana" "I don't know if you'd understand... in this world there are other interesting things to do besides ballet" "Did you ever think about this?" "Practicing seven days a week six hours a day" "I don't want that kind of life" "So I went to Tokyo to make plans beyond ballet" "But then I met Subaru" "Later my teacher at the American Theatre asked Amano to bring me back to New York" "Do you really not know that your father divorced your mother because of my teacher?" "I know that" "Don't you see" "It's fate" "I promised to return to New York under one condition" "If Amano trained Subaru to compete against me" "You deceived Subaru by pretending to be her friend" "Listen to yourself" "This is just a game" "You've been pretending to be Subaru's friend, haven't you?" "Mana?" "How can you tell Subaru the truth?" "That will affect her mood for competition!" "Subaru is competing under Amano's name and you, Mana are competing under the Kureha Ballet Studio" "Do you understand?" "Mom" "How can you use Subaru to get back at Dad?"

"Get some sleep" "Make your decision tomorrow, okay?" "Without dancing, I have nothing" "Listen to me, Subaru" "I've been watching you for the past few days" "Winning or losing no longer matters" "Subaru, you have what it takes to be a professional dancer" "The competition is not the only way to get there" "Every time I pour my heart into dancing, someone dear to me passes away" "Kazuma" "Auntie" "Anyway" "Let me call Amano and tell him I've found you" "Then I'm taking you back, okay?"

"Pulse 98" "It's probably temporary amnesia" "Doesn't look good" "Intermission?" "Yes" "Any comments about the Classical Variation?" "What's the matter?" "From the audience's reaction, you're still in lead" "I can't figure it out" "A person with a fever should have heavy footsteps" "You want to hear comments?" "Everyone is talking about how Miyamoto Subaru can perform such feeling of lightness while having a fever" "Well" "It's because" "Subaru really is super cool after all" "Wait..."
