Dance Battles with Nogizaka46
Wow, cool.
Wow, that's amazing.
Wow, that's cool.
Wow, that's amazing.
That's a good move.
Wow, that's amazing.
Great.
Wow, that's amazing.
We have a new member.
This program is brought to you by DIP Co., Ltd.
I like the retro atmosphere.
I think it's influenced by dance.
I like old school.
I like songs and clothes.
So I like this kind of antique and retro atmosphere.
I think that's what's in the dance.
I think Shibui is the coolest.
I think Shibui is a compliment.
Riho 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 5 years old.
I couldn't turn.
I didn't have a good sense of rhythm.
I couldn't skip.
You couldn't skip?
I couldn't.
I'm embarrassed.
She continued her favorite dance while skipping exercise.
There was an incident that made her want to be a professional dancer.
I was in the dance battle for the first time when I was 11 years old.
The dance battle was too shocking.
I didn't know there was such a good girl in the same generation.
The level was really different from me.
I wanted to beat her.
I wanted to win this competition.
I wrote 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.
After graduating from high school, she was selected as a member of the D-League six months later.
In addition, one of the D-League projects, Kawaii Dancer Championship, was also noticed.
I'm really grateful for that.
They remember me.
I was happy that they knew me because I had nothing to do with the team they chose.
And I was happy that they watched my dance.
The girl who couldn't even skip, has now grown into a face-to-face presence in the D-League, where the audience pays attention to other teams than before.
But
I don't want it to end with just being cute.
I hate it when people say I'm just cute.
When I was in the first year of high school, I started going out to battle.
I was the only one who made it to the preliminaries.
At that time, I told a lot of people,
I'm glad you're cute.
You have a cute face, so the judges like you too.
It's a shock, it's annoying.
What do you know?
What do you know about yourself?
I don't know how hard you're trying.
It's just that you're cute.
That's what I'm really angry about.
I'm really angry.
Do you hate being a cute dancer?
I hate it. I really hate it.
Of course I'm happy.
It's an honor to be chosen.
I'm not in the D-League to get into the cute ranking.
I'm in the D-League because I want to do my best as a dancer.
That's great.
That's great, Riho.
It's not just about being cute.
I'll let you admit it even if it's a dance that's crucial.
Riho has come this far with such a spirit of rebelliousness and rebelliousness.
I want to be a dancer who can be called cool just by walking.
People who think I'm good at dancing are good at walking.
That's why I became a cool person as a human being because of that spirit and that overflowing feeling.
It's not just about being cute.
I'm going to be a cool dancer.
Pro dancer Riho will stick to the challenge of the next stage.
Wow, amazing.
It's cool.
I think everyone has this problem.
Especially Soshina-san.
You came all the way here just because you're cool.
What do you mean?
It's easy to think that you came here just because of your looks.
It's a sudden joke.
I want everyone to see the essence.
You said a lot of good things about being an entertainer.
If I were asked to learn a cute dance, I would be happy with just that.
I feel like I'm going to be sweet to myself.
I want to bring that to the opposite of cute.
I think it's cool that you're trying to improve yourself.
Manatsu-san is the type who has been deceiving everyone with her cuteness.
I'm not deceiving you.
I used to think that people who are good at dancing had a talent.
I was surprised that I couldn't even skip it.
If you keep practicing, you'll get used to it.
I think it will be a great goal for children watching TV.
Stephanie, that's a good comment.
I'm sorry, Nakano-san.
Your seat has been taken.
That's a good comment from an American.
Next time, the challenge for the 2024 Paris Olympics begins.
Stay tuned for B-BOY Taichi's dance battle.
