Dance Battles with Nogizaka46!
Now, it's started. It's Dance Battles.
Thank you for coming, everyone.
Thank you for coming.
Today, a long-awaited new dancer has appeared.
What kind of dancer is she?
Please watch the video.
Oh, look at her.
[Dance Battles with Nogizaka46]
Look, she's stylish.
[Dance Battles with Nogizaka46]
So cool!
Wow, so cool!
Wow, wow!
Wow, so cool!
Someone new is here.
This program is brought to you by DIP Co., Ltd.
I've always liked retro atmosphere.
Maybe it's influenced by dance.
But I like everything about old school.
Songs and clothes.
So I like these antique things and retro atmosphere.
Maybe that's why it's in dance.
I think "shibui" is the coolest and "shibui" is a compliment.
She loves "shibui" items.
She is currently active as a DIP BATTLES member in Japan's only pro dance league, D-league.
She started dancing when she was five years old.
I couldn't do turns and I didn't have a sense of rhythm and I couldn't even skip.
Oh, I couldn't do it.
I'm embarrassed.
She continued her favorite dance while exercising.
Something happened that made her want to be a professional dancer.
I participated in a dance battle for the first time when I was in the first grade of middle school.
That dance battle was too shocking.
I was like, "There is such a good girl in the same generation."
I was on a completely different level from myself.
I wanted to beat her.
I wanted to win this competition.
That's what I was thinking.
I even gave her a dance note.
I practiced at home while crying.
I hate losing.
I'm still the same.
She practiced many times and won many competitions.
Six months after graduating high school, she was selected as a D-league member.
She will also be noticed for her cute dancer championship, one of D-league projects.
I'm really grateful for that.
She remembers what I want to do.
She doesn't have anything to do with the team she chose.
I was happy that she knew me.
And she watched my dance.
She couldn't skip it, but now she's growing up to be a face of the D.League, which attracts attention from not only the audience but also other teams.
But...
I don't want it to end with "you're cute".
I see.
I hate being told "you're cute" the most.
Hey!
Of course.
I see.
You're cute
When I was in first year of high school, I started going to battles in earnest.
I was the only one who made it to the preliminary round.
At that time, I told many people, "Rio, you're cute and I'm glad you're here".
"Rio has a cute face, and judges like cute girls too".
I was shocked and annoyed.
What do you know?
What do you know about yourself?
I don't know how hard I've been working.
But now I've been told "you're cute" and "you're cute" and I'm really angry.
I'm really angry.
You're angry at a cute dancer.
You don't like it?
I don't like it.
I really don't like it.
I see.
Of course I'm happy and it's an honor for me to be chosen.
It's not your quality.
I'm not in D.league to be in a cute ranking.
I'm in it because I want to do my best as a professional dancer.
That's right.
That's cool.
That's great.
That's true.
That's great, Rio.
"Cute" isn't enough.
"Dance" is also important.
Rio has come this far with such determination and fanatic spirit.
I want to be a dancer who people say "cool" just by walking.
People who say "this person is definitely good at dancing" while walking are good.
That's why I became a cool person as a human being, not only because of my appearance, but also because of my standing posture and overflowing feeling.
Not only cute, but also become a cool dancer.
Pro dancer Riho will stick to the challenge of going to the next stage.
Wow!
Cool!
Everyone has this worry.
Especially Ms. Soshina.
She came all the way here just because of her coolness.
What do you mean?
People tend to think that she came all the way here just because of her looks.
It's just a word play.
But everyone wants to see the essence of it.
She said something really good about being an entertainer.
If I were to be called "cute dancer Manatsu", I would be happy about it.
I feel like I'm going to be sweet to myself.
I think it's cool that she's trying to make herself look better by saying "cute" instead of "cool".
Manattan is a type of person who has been deceiving everyone with "cute".
She's not supposed to look like that.
I used to think that people who are so good at dancing have a talent for it.
But now I can't even skip it.
That's true.
Isn't it surprising?
It's true.
I think it will be a great goal for little children who are watching TV right now to continue practicing like that.
Stephanie, that's a good comment.
Mr. Nakano, I'm sorry. Your seat has been taken.
I did it!
That's a great comment.
Next time, the challenge for the 2024 Paris Olympics begins.
It's a dance battle between B-boys.
