「ボールルームへようこそ」 (Ballroom e Youkoso)

「伝統と進化」 (Dentou to Shinka)
“Tradition and Evolution”

I find myself torn about what I’d like to see happen in the final stages of this competition, and that’s not a bad thing.

「扉(ドア)」 (Door)
“Door”

I suppose it’s no revelation, but in many ways Chinatsu and Tatara are the worst possible pairing one could imagine in ballroom dance.

「友達」 (Tomodachi)
“Friends”

If I were to be totally honest, the last couple of episodes of Ballroom e Youkoso have not been the strongest in the series for me.

One thing Ballroom e Youkoso makes clear – no one ever said life is fair, and competitive dance is no exception.

「背番号13」 (Sebangou 13)

「表現者」 (Hyougensha)
“Performer”

The deeper we get into this show, the more what becomes important is that which makes Welcome to the Ballroom special, not what makes it flawed.

「じゃじゃ馬ならし」 (Jaja Uma Narashi)
“Taming a Wild Horse”
