AISubs v3.7
The golden eggs of Japan, which hide infinite possibilities, stand up and believe in themselves and fly to the world tomorrow!
The future monster of lions!
After hearing that there is a future monster, we went to Ehime Prefecture, central Shikoku City.
I want to eat it deliciously, so I'll eat it deliciously three times.
There she is!
The future monster of this time, who is so careful with her fingers before eating!
She's like a doctor!
This is the salad she wanted to eat!
She's trying to eat it carefully so as not to drop the tomato, but...
Oh no!
I can't do it anymore!
It's because you're slanting it!
I don't know the size of my own mouth.
No matter how many times you do it, you can't eat it well!
What kind of future monster is it?
Isn't it a lion's trunk?
Oh, it's a lion's crest!
It's a lion's performance!
The future monster of the lion dance performance world!
Kanon Takahashi, 18 years old, 3rd year high school student.
He is 147 centimeters tall!
A lion dance performance is one that expresses the beauty of writing and acting while dancing and playing music.
Wow, that's amazing!
Every summer, more than 100 high schools from all over the country participate and compete for first place in Japan.
The first performance school competition is being held.
It's a special place in Japan.
The first winning school of such a first performance school competition is Ehime Prefecture Nishima High School, where Kanon also attends.
Kanon is the director of such a traditional school.
When he started learning calligraphy at the age of six, in the first year of junior high school, he became even better at eight dan, which is the highest level of special ability.
It's amazing even if it's only the first dan, isn't it?
It's amazing even if it's second grade.
His skills are so great that the letters are adopted in the monument installed at the first performance school competition venue.
When I saw the performance, I thought I should definitely join this school.
I joined because I wanted to try something new.
What is his current goal?
I couldn't win last year, but I promised my seniors and juniors that I would definitely win this year, so I definitely want to win no matter what.
Since winning the seventh competition, Nishima High School has been away from winning for eight years.
At the end of high school, we aim to win this year for sure!
Such a style of Nishima High School is called "Nishima style".
Nishima style...
It's a body expression that doesn't rely on stage equipment or flashy performances.
It's an unorthodox style that puts emphasis on writing.
It's a style that uses the body language of the audience and expresses it with music.
What they are working on for the championship is a brush up of Mishima style.
Can the canons and Mishima high school regain their throne and raise the curse of resurrection in the future?
In order to fulfill their promise with their seniors, they put their all into Mishima style and aim for the best in Japan!
Mirai Monster!
"Mirai Monster!" by LION is brought to you by LION, who loves today.
Mirai Monster! of the first performance session!
I'm here for your practice.
The first dance club of Mishima high school has been active for more than 60 years.
Now, there are 15 girls and 2 boys, a total of 17 people.
Oh, I see. First of all...
Ms. Mishima is in charge of the dance club.
In fact, Mishima high school's Ehime Prefecture Shikoku Central City is also called "the city of God".
Its shipping has been the best in Japan for 17 years in a row!
There are many calligraphy classrooms because of the quality of calligraphy, and calligraphy is a familiar presence.
And, Ms. Fukumoto, who left the calligraphy club five years ago, is in charge of the calligraphy club.
She won third place in the calligraphy performance lecture hall two years ago.
This year, she is in charge of the calligraphy club again.
Mishima high school puts its focus on calligraphy.
Let's see Ms. Kano's practice.
Wow, what kind of practice is this?
This is...
One word that is repeated over and over again.
What is this practice for?
What is good and what is bad?
The amateur doesn't know.
It's completely different.
Is your senior's writing amazing?
It's amazing.
Let's have Kano-senpai write the first word that catches our eye.
Here I go.
From "kana" to "eshita" I could only think of "kano-senpai".
First word.
It's not just drawing a line horizontally.
Even when you start writing, you start from the back of the brush, turn it to the front, twist it, and draw a line.
I've never used such a long brush.
Even just by looking at how you start writing, you can tell the difference.
It's completely different.
To warm up such a delicate hand while performing, they practice non-stop.
If you don't have a strong lower back...
On weekdays it's two hours, and on weekends before competitions it's eight hours.
They face reality head-on.
The wooden floor is also covered in grass and now it's dark.
Why do you clean up? Is it okay because it's dark?
I'm going to rest my legs.
I'm going to take a bath.
Here is a one-minute manual performance lecture course.
Less than 12 people can participate.
They will warm up their hands while performing to the music.
Whether you use a big brush, a broom, a broomstick, or a mop, you are free to use any domes you like.
We are free?
There is no color restriction, and you can complete a piece of work in four meters by six meters of paper in six minutes.
Does that mean we start with a clap?
The criteria are calligraphy and performance, each with one hundred points.
Not only calligraphy, but also performance must be polished in order to win.
The theme of this year held by Mishima High School is...
Collaboration.
Collaboration?
Yes. If you join a calligraphy performance competition or win a competition,
and if you work hard with such goals in mind, you will achieve your goals.
In that sense, we call it "collaboration".
Here is the performance.
It is a contemporary dance using flexible body expressions.
Twenty days before the competition,
if you look out of the club room...
We will now perform "Mishima High School Slam".
Please!
Yes!
They were performing their own performances based on the theme of the show.
In "Mishima High School Slam", they don't rely on a dance coach and think of the choreography themselves.
Ms. Canon, who is busy every day looking at the whole thing as a dance coach and also carving out time to polish her own arms.
Ms. Ozaki and Ms. Hirata, who are in the same class, always stick with Ms. Canon and lead the dance together.
Only these three are in the third grade.
And the three of them have been childhood friends since kindergarten.
They started working part-time at about the same time and have been working hard for more than ten years.
The three of them are at the center of the "Mishima High School Slam" club and support each other to aim for the championship.
I think Ms. Canon is the one who pulls everyone the most.
I know it well, but I can't do it alone, so I want to do it with everyone.
I have a feeling of wanting to create something together and achieve something, and I wonder if I can admit myself by doing so.
The roles in the club are assigned by the three companies.
Ms. Canon, who is excellent at expressing herself, performs in the center of the main competition and is in charge of the show on the lower left side.
Ms. Ozaki, who is excellent at color sense, is in charge of the "today" part of the work, which is the main work of the work using large brushes.
Ms. Hirata is in charge of the "today" part of the work.
I need physical strength.
This work is centered around the three third-year students.
In the regional qualifier for elementary school performance school support,
they passed the "shikoku" block, which is called "saigeki senku", in first place.
I think I'll have nothing when this is over, so I think it's okay for me to die when it's over.
It's really, really sad.
And, a week before the performance,
the head teacher, Hiroshi Sensei, is in charge of the investment committee.
However...
Well, for some reason, the efficiency of the writing technology is very low,
and I think that's the worst.
I have to keep the canon in here, but I don't feel like keeping it.
There is an area that is given, but there is no perspective that you have to hold down there.
That kind of perspective is a little down.
What was pointed out was the first part, which should be the strength of Mishima High School.
It was the basic part of passing through the vertical line that fits within the frame.
I see...
So, from the next day, I started working on...
I wonder how much it will cost.
The composition of the paper and the color use.
The color of the tree and the size change.
I also thoroughly reviewed the writing order and layout from scratch.
That's a great variation.
Was it corrected before the competition?
The decorations other than the show are simple and efficient.
Mishima-like, clumsy and powerful work.
What is the teacher's evaluation?
But I think it's beautiful. Look at it now. Isn't the color beautiful now?
What kind of work did it turn out to be?
How is it? Do you think you can do it?
I can do it.
And on the day of the first performance lecture...
Number 21, who won over the elementary school students, will appear.
To stand up for Mishima High School, which aims to revive in the future...
Tottori-Johoku High School ran towards their aspirations through acapella and sang songs.
Wow!
Yahata Central High School painted the cityscape in black and with a brush close to three meters wide.
Wow! That's good, too!
Interesting!
And Matsumoto Arigasaki High School, which is the first four-year tournament in history.
Finally, it's the turn of Canon and Mishima High School!
Will Canon and Mishima High School be revived?
It's a really traditional Japanese culture, isn't it?
The calligraphy and dancing...
Yes, it is.
It's wonderful!
It looks like a lot of fun to think about.
I'm getting interested in it now.
Are you going to do an acapella?
Will you do it with me?
Yes, I will.
Thank you for taking care of me.
I'm good at performance.
It's like a concert.
It looks like a lot of fun.
There are a lot of members, so we each have our own field of expertise.
Now, Rin-chan.
You felt the persistence of this first-generation champion high school and the pride of the city of God, didn't you?
Is there a style you cherish that you can't quit and you've been doing it for a long time?
Before I joined this world, I was very particular about my clothes.
I don't want to wear it with anyone.
There's a cut in it or there's a hole in it.
After all, I don't want to wear it with anyone.
Recently, it has been reflected in my choice of clothes.
There's a unique cut in it again today, isn't there?
There's a nice cut in it again today, and it's getting better.
It's a little off.
Do you sell vaccines?
Certainly!
Even if you don't wear it.
She won first place in the fierce battle of Shikoku Night Warriors.
Kanon-san, led by Koukumo Nishima, who danced to be the winner candidate.
From the top of my head...
There are four shows to see.
The first one is the first show of "Kanon-san".
Will he be able to make it successful?
(upbeat music)
First of all, Kanon-san's expressiveness of dancing in the center.
Inai doko desu keshiki
Next up is Ms. Osaki.
She's strong.
She's immediately progressing at the same time.
The first part of the canoe trip.
The teacher has given them a lot of trouble with the vertical lines.
Will they be able to put them together?
The finishing touches are done by Ms. Hirata.
How did it turn out?
You guys did it!
Wow!
The letters are straight.
The drawing is powerful enough.
What is the result?
Wow!
Let's watch the second half of the VTR.
One, two...
Monster!
Here is the result.
Let's start with the third place.
16th Shodou Performance Academy,
the third place is...
Nagano Prefecture, Matsumoto Arigasaki High School.
It's the third place of Matsumoto Arigasaki High School, which was in the middle of a three-year collapse.
The second place is...
Yahata Central High School, which is filled with colors of death.
And the first place of fate is...
Mishima High School, which is particular about physical expression and letters.
Will Mishima High School be revived in the future?
The winner of the Grand Prize is...
Tottori Prefecture, Tottori Jofuku High School.
Congratulations!
The winner of the Grand Prize is...
Tottori Prefecture, Tottori Jofuku High School.
Congratulations!
The winner is Tottori Jofuku High School, which challenged with acapella without using sound effects.
Wow, there are a lot of letters.
Mishima High School finished in ninth place.
I'm sorry.
If I don't get a good result, I won't be happy.
I'm frustrated.
On that day, Kanon was frustrated, but when she asked about it later...
I think it was great that everyone gave their 100% and connected with the audience.
I like acapella more now.
What is your dream in the future?
I want to be a teacher.
I felt that I was supported a lot by the local people through acapella.
I want to work as a teacher if there is a way for me to study where I aimed for local education.
That's a good dream.
While sharing her three years of experience with local people, she will continue to push forward on the path of books.
She is a future monster!
She is doing her best. It's heart-warming.
As Kanon said, even if she didn't get a good result, she did her best with everyone.
I think that's a good thing about amateur competitions like this.
I've been able to convey that I was able to do my best and that I was able to do my performance.
It's cool that you're competing straight ahead, isn't it?
Kanon's dream was to become a teacher at school, but...
You're going to be a good teacher, aren't you?
Like caring for your juniors.
That's why you can be kind to people who know frustration.
If you become a national language teacher...
If you get out of the kanji test for even a little bit...
You're going to be a punishment.
Tell me about it! Everyone's competition food, Miramon Kitchen!
Miramon of the calligraphy performance world, Kanon's competition food is...
My competition food is this.
Miramahal's goldfish curry.
Kanon's competition food is...
A shop of memories with his best friends Osaki and Hirata.
Authentic Indian cuisine, Miramahal's goldfish curry.
This is the first time the three of us have come together.
This is where we met and became close.
When we want to cheer up, we definitely come here.
While being protected by their best friends, Kanon's competition food, please!
Is it good?
I'm glad you put it in your happy face.
It's smooth.
I want you to match it.
Since it's cheese honey naan, the curry is moderately spicy and sweet.
It has a mild taste and is delicious.
Kimako's goldfish naan.
You haven't eaten it, have you?
I've never eaten it.
Here is the competition meal that we received from you this week.
We are looking forward to your applications at Minamon Shokudou.
Among those who posted, five people will be selected every week.
Feelings and air while choosing are light.
Comfort is also a new sensation of flexibility.
Three scents of laundry water, sofran and airis.
Two super nanocs will be given as a set with lion- chan's plushies.
"Future Monster of Lions" was brought to you by lions who love today.
