[Dance Battles with Nogizaka 46]
Here we go. It's Dance Battles.
Nice to meet you, everyone.
Today's guest is a handsome B-boy, Taichi.
In D.League, he is a member of KOSEI 8ROCKS, a breakdance team that won last season.
This time, he has decided to do a personal challenge other than D.League.
Please watch the video.
[Dance Battles with Nogizaka 46]
This year, I participated in a lot of solo battles.
I want to win and win a title somewhere.
Solo, right?
Last time, he participated in a team battle, but he missed winning by a small margin.
Wow!
Is this a team battle?
It's been a month since then.
Kawasaki, Karutsu.
[Dance Battles with Nogizaka 46]
On this day, Taichi went to Kawasaki to participate in a dance battle.
It's like a community center.
As usual, the staff went to Taichi to shoot their enthusiasm.
However...
[Taichi's enthusiasm disappeared.]
Oh, that's good.
That's right.
On this day, he wanted to focus on the competition.
So he couldn't interview before the match.
That's right. He wanted to concentrate.
This is what a professional does.
His usual bright energy is unimaginable.
Hey, you're bright.
That's how it should be.
Oh!
First place!
I see.
This program is brought to you by DIP Co., Ltd.
The atmosphere of the venue is tense.
And the reason for that is...
That's right.
Today's tournament is a preliminary match related to the 2024 Paris Olympics.
In fact, the next Olympics will be the official event of the break-in.
That's right.
Fierce qualifying has already started all over the country.
Go for it!
To qualify for the Olympics, it is essential to rank first in the domestic main tournament winning points.
In the end, two men and two women will be selected, which is a very narrow gate.
Go for the Olympics, Taichi!
He's a medalist from this program.
Ideally, I want to win in a solo battle or participate in an Olympic black race.
Don't you participate in Olympics at all?
Olympics...
That's right.
Well, I feel like it's pretty close.
No, no, no, let's go, Taichi.
Taichi also longs for the Olympic firework stage as a B-boy.
The first step to the Olympics, where you can never lose, is now beginning.
Go for it, Taichi!
The preliminary match is a double-edged battle in which all 41 participants are squeezed into eight people at once.
I'm scared!
Some of them are teammates who fight together in the D-league.
Taichi, you'll be fine, won't you?
It's really amazing!
Perfectly performing the move,
finally on this day,
there's a smile on Taichi's face.
That was a great entry.
And now, I'd like to announce
the winner of the first place.
Ken Rock!
Taichi!
Yay! It's over!
Nice, nice, nice!
Only Taichi has made it past the preliminaries.
What?!
That's so harsh!
So cool!
Only Taichi?
Top 8.
Ryoka versus Taichi!
Who will win?
Let's go!
Now, it's a one-on-one battle format.
If you want to advance to the semi-final by winning,
you have to deal with your opponent's attacks first.
I'm still in first place, aren't I?
They're all so good.
Next, Taichi from high school boldly attacks.
You can do it!
So cool!
He sees when his opponent finishes and attacks.
Punch, punch! It's not over yet.
And then, he mixes up big moves and small moves and attacks his opponent.
Hey, it's Spider-Man!
Yes, yes, yes!
Taichi, it's not like that!
Yes, it's coming!
Hey!
So cool!
The heated battle where they each used their talents one by one ends here.
What will be the result?!
Two, one...
Judge...
It's a draw!
Wow, we lost!
It's over!
Taichi loses in the first round!
Our Taichi!
After the match, for the first time ever, Taichi answered the camera that day.
Good job.
I lost.
I'm not good at strats.
I think you scored a lot of points in the official ranking.
So I found a task for you.
You're next.
But you can still participate in the qualifiers, right?
The battle for the Paralympic Games in two years has just begun.
Taichi's challenge to win the big title continues.
Wow!
Is it finally the Olympics?
Taichi, let's catch up!
Let's go to Paris!
Let's go!
I feel like I'm going to win.
All the performances were cool.
I don't know why I lost.
But right after I lost, Taichi told me that he saw a task for me.
I think it's cool that you can find your dream right away.
You can do it because you're next in the competition.
You were convinced, weren't you?
I don't think I can do it because I'm nervous.
I think it's really cool.
I want to follow you and see you win a gold medal.
I want to see you win a gold medal.
I'm really looking forward to it.
Let's have a gold medalist on this show!
Let's do it!
But when we're serious about the competition, let's be patient!
Let's not get in the way!
Let's just hear about your win.
Let's talk about it after the competition.
Next week, new dancer Umi will appear.
