The Lux Higashiyama summer training camp begins now!
For skaters, summer is when you learn new techniques, take promotion exams, and build muscle.
Summer training creates winter results!
So let's all go and do our best!
Yes!
Well then, did you all write down your goals the week?
Pass them up from the back.
I'm proud of you all for writing so many!
Now, is there anyone who'd like to share what they wrote?
Lutz!
Try not to chat during training!
Double flip into double toe loop!
I want to do a double Axel into a triple Salchow by the end of this training camp!
Oh, very nice!
You were shouting about that last week, right, Inori-chan?
"I want to enter Novices!"
Eh? Ah.. yeah.
You can't back out now.
Embarrassing.
Get along you two!
Alright, anyone else who wants to share?
Triple Salchow!
What're you doing getting all fired up without the lead around?
Sorry, we're a bit late.
Mike-chan!
Suddenly, the double-bladed shoes tarnish and rust, as the rain traces their edge
kizukeba kutsu wa yogore sabitsuita moroha wo tsutau ame
Our desire never dwindles, waking up only makes us dream again
akogare wa sono mama de yume kara mezameta saki ni wa yume
I hear the sound of your cry, fading into the sky that swallows it whole
kikoeta sono nakigoe kieiru temae no kubosuru sora e
Only to find you curled up, overwhelmed by the depths of your desire
akogare no sono saki e uzukumaru kimi wo mitsukeru tame
Go! Go!
yuke yuke
Let your impulses propel you and soar at unreachable speeds
oitsukenai sokudo de tobe inparusu kasoku shite yuke
Embrace this moment before it fades away
kieta kono toki wo kanjiru tame ni
You were born for this
umarete kitan da
Rise above expectations, carve your destiny as the wind sweeps through your hair
mirai wo tsukande kitaichi wo koete hitai ni fukisasu kaze
In this moment, nobody can deny your brilliance
ima ni mina yo kitto kimi no mabushisa ni daremo ga kizuku darou
Let your voice radiate your worth, glide through the endless sky and rise above everyone's gaze
fusawashii koe de shisen wo oikoshite kokuu wo koete ike
I release your hands
michigaeteku kimi no yubi kara ima
As I watch you take flight
te o hanasu
Moving on, we have a special jumping instructor coming with us.
Coach Nachi Mario!
Coach Tsukasa asked her to come!
Th-Thank you for having me!
Thank you for coming!
Coach Nachi's an amazing jumper who managed to land a quadruple Salchow!
Well, sorta. I never actually managed to land one in a competition.
Having a different coach might make it easier to achieve a breakthrough.
That just leaves...
I hope she can make it before training camp's over.
Oh? It's Sonidori Rioh.
What're you doin' here? Couldn't make it to Nagano's?
No, I'm going. It's just next week.
So is Inori-chan not going to the Nagano training camp?
It's only for kids 12 and under who are level 6 and above.
We didn't make the cutoff.
The Nagano training camp is seen as a gateway to success for top skaters.
She knows most Olympic skaters went to this training camp.
But I had a good talk with Inori-san about it.
She's resolved to go without it.
Could you stop with the slander?
I'm at the level where I can go every year.
You dumb flapjack octopus head.
F-Flapjack octopus?!
These are cat ears! No matter how you look at them, they're cat ears!
Let's take this outside, four eyes!
We're already outside.
Cut it out, Miketarou!
They sure are enthusiastic, huh?
Sota-san's looking to do a double flip into a double toe loop.
Inori-san's going for a double Axel into a triple Salchow.
Rioh-san's... Huh?
Without further ado, it's time for Coach Nachin's lesson!
Starting with jumps in a straight line.
Jumps are normally executed while taking a curve.
But we'll do these on a straight line.
So, let's see, how about Norisuke!
Ah, yes!
Come on!
Norisuke?
You'll start from the other side and do a jump within this space.
Give it a shot!
Huh? Within this space...?
This is a test! Go try it, Norikichi!
My name changed again!
I'm so far outside the lane.
When you're jumping on a straight track,
you get a feel for how much centrifugal force affects you.
Normally you jump on a curve,
so you lean into the turn,
and end up going too far inwards.
If you get used to jumping in a straight line...
you can keep track of the ideal trajectory for your curves.
How's that?
Centrifugal force, huh...
I've never figured out how to really fix it on my own.
Alright! I'll give it a shot!
Alright, next. Rioh-san!
Cross~! Mohawk~!
Alright, jump!
Nice, good form!
Next!
Coach Tsukasa's proposed lesson plan...
certainly looks quite easy...
but we're not pros anymore!
We're supposed to skate alongside everyone's practice runs?
How?!
Is something wrong?
No... We're just a little... short of breath...
I see!
Then for the next part I'll just check everyone!
We're going around again!
Okay!
He really is the kinda guy you'd call "super" positive.
All "Keep it pumping!" and "Be positive!"
It sure looks that way, right? But you'd be wrong.
Oh?
He's really positive when it comes to other people...
but when it comes to himself, he quickly turns pessimistic.
To the degree no one can convince him otherwise.
So this is our room!
Where are you going to sleep, Inori?
Hmmm, over here!
Then Mike will sleep next to you!
Sounds good, let's sleep together!
Woah, it looks delicious!
Thanks for the food!
That was a really good bath!
Just what I needed.
A large bath! It's been so long!
Public baths cost quite a bit...
so I can't go to them on a daily basis.
Huh? Rioh-san?
A shampoo hat, that really takes me back!
Huh? But it's already time for the kids to be in bed...
Guess it's fine.
I made sure to came here late so nobody'd see me using it...
Hurry up and leave.
Ah, the hot water's great.
So how was your first day?
It was nothing special, just some exercise.
Ah, that's right. Rioh-san.
Huh?
How about we go over your goal sheet after this?
I'll pass.
It's not that I couldn't think of anything, my goals are already in my head.
A triple and double combination?
That's what you need to pass level 6, right?
I.. don't want to tell other people....
I see. I get that feeling.
What?
I've got them, too.
Goals you think people'd call too unrealistic or too small.
Well, if you ever feel like it, you can tell me.
I'll help with anything you need.
Coach.
Hm?
What's your singles badge level, coach?
I couldn't find his name in the Novice or Junior records.
I'm certian this coach never reached level 6.
So spit it out already. Then I can tell you,
"You think you can coach a skater with a higher rank than you?"
Beginner level.
Beginner...
Yep.
I bet she'd be disappointed if she heard that.
She probably wouldn't be saying she could beat Hikaru if she did.
She knows.
I've already told Inori-san.
Oh... I see.
Feeling she can beat Hikaru knowing that means there's no point talking to her. I'm done.
Rioh-san...
Also. You don't need to spend so much time on me.
I just came here to get away from that club.
And besides, I'll probably stop growing here anyways.
Wait! Why would you say that?
And also why are you so freaking muscular?
Eh?
You're probably better fit to train your own muscles than skaters.
Goodnight.
I've barely built up any skill.
Even though I could've solved all this in an hour if I'd had a coach...
I spent all those years...
I don't think it was meaningless.
You think so?
I think it was.
If only I'd had a coach earlier.
I could have...
Ahhhh! That shitty brat!
He knew I was below level 6 and asked that to act superior and screw with me!
How can his personality be so bad? He needs to be purified by Inori-san!
Coach!
I knew it'd be pointed out one day when I became a coach!
That's why I hesitated to become one!
But... But!
I made up my mind!
On that day, I accepted it all!
Don't dig that back up again!
Just watch me. I'll make Rioh-san jump.
I'll get him to do a triple-double combo with my lessons!
Together we will make the triple-double jumps happen!
What's up?
I felt like I heard Coach Tsukasa's voice.
He sure has a loud voice.
Mike-chan.
What?
If I fail the level 6 exam over and over, the coach would get blamed for it, right?
I dunno, but they'd probably say it was.
I want more people to comment on how fast my growth is.
I want to be able to jump a double Axel,
and be a strong skater that can choose Coach Tsukasa.
When Mike rubs you, your dreams will come true.
Thanks.
Maybe they were jumping in their dreams...
Rioh-san, good morning!
I told you, didn't I? You don't need to worry about me.
Rioh-san's goal,
is a triple combination, isn't it?
I'll do everything I can to help!
Your jump yesterday was really amazing.
I'd like to take a more in-depth look at it today.
Amazing! Your trajectory's way better than it used to be!
Really?
You fell right there since you were on the inner edge.
But just a bit more! Let's iron out the details of your form!
Okay!
According to novice competition rules, you need to incorporate an Axel into your jump composition.
The triple Axel that Hikaru jumped,
is a miracle jump that few girls in the Olympics have even landed.
So right now, for me who can't cause a miracle .
The double Axel is precisely the weapon I need to fight on the world stage!
I want to have it.
I want to have it!
The first weapon she needs for the All-Japan Novices!
She landed a double Axel.
She's holding back her excitement because entering the novice is her goal, huh?
Next is the triple, right?
Yeah!
Though, her excitement's leaking from her face.
Is it possible my awesome training has only helped a future enemy become even stronger?
Although I'm a big-hearted adult so I don't mind...
Hm? What is it?
You'll be landing a triple-double for me first.
Well, Mike will give it her best.
When I have to fight Inori, I've got no desire to lose.
Rioh-san! Next is Rioh-san's turn!
Yeah.
Why am I being so serious about this?
I just want to be done with this meaningless effort.
He's good.
Posture, speed, jump structure.
And the smoothness of his moves.
It's all top level.
Last year he placed 8th in Novices.
He's got promising enough ability, so why's he so pessimistic?
I'm feeling good today. My edge's fitting nicely onto the ice.
So maybe now....
-A triple? -Just a bit more!
So close!
Like I thought, I can't.
Good job Rioh-san!
You were great out there!
Your fingertips were pretty and more than all that your triple attempt was excellent!
Nice fight!
Don't spin. Don't try to force a spin.
I'm just making myself into an axis.
That sensation when I did the double Axel.
I hugged my body tightly.
I felt close the axis that was in my body.
The double Axel's rotation speed is basically the same as a triple.
That's why kids who've struggled with the double Axel for a long time,
are able to overcome the triple wall at the same time.
It's here! It's here! It's here! She landed the triple Salchow!
She broke down both walls at once!
C-Coach!
Is it alright if your coach gives a GOE+ 5 for happiness?
N-Not.. Not yet!
You said it yourself, coach!
Until we leave it's still camp! It's not a jump until it matches the music!
So it's not time yet!
Splendid! Splendid! Splendid! Splendid!
The expansion of I-Inori-san's splendor is unstoppable!
C-Coach?
Rioh, from today you'll be living with this girl.
Nice to meet you.
Ask me anything. My dad's a silver medalist after all!
Ok!
I'll try my best to be as good as Rioh!
Um, Yodaka-san.
Sorry for the suddenness.
I think I'd like to take the same lessons as Hikaru if I can...
Um, well.
-You're a nuisance. -Eh?
Rioh.
Jun-kun has a special promise to coach Hikaru.
Come here.
Ah! There you are Rioh! You've still got one more music run to do!
It's good she was able to land a triple.
It'd be better for you to be by her side.
I can't just do that! You're my student too, Rioh-san!
I promised I'd get you to land a triple too, Rioh-san!
That intensity's kinda scary.
How can you be so passionate?
Opposite that, how can you be so pessimistic, Rioh-san?
Even though you've got such high skill.
I can only compete in the novice 4 times, so there's no more way for me to sweep all 4.
Far from landing a triple lutz or triple loop like Hikaru,
I can't even land a triple Salchow.
Even if I went to the Nagano training camp, I wouldn't be selected as a seed.
The son of a silver medalist in the best position and this is all I've got.
So I can't blame anyone else.
Having the environment, the mentors, the money...
And still being unable to succeed.
I've got everything, so there's no reason I shouldn't succeed.
So that's who I am.
Can you really say you'd wouldn't become pessimistic in my position?
Rioh-san, are you...
Aiming to be the like Yodaka Jun?
Hah?
Ah, no.
You were just talking about stuff a past skater's done, right?
In the Novice B, landing a triple Lutz and triple loop,
and a triple Axel as well.
Being selected as a seed each Nagano camp and sweeping all 4 of your Novices.
The only medalist who's done all that,
is Yodaka Jun.
Stop it!
Keep his name out of your mouth.
But Rioh-san, your way of skating in some ways resembles Yodaka J-
AHHHHHHHH!
The things I hate most in this world.
Are cockroaches and Yodaka Jun.
So if I was told to choose between a cockroach smoothie or being told to do his shopping,
I'd choose the cockroach smoothie.
If he saw your current state Yodaka Jun'd probably go do his own shopping.
So that's the only thing really strongly eating away at your heart?
Eh?
You admire him so much that from the bottom of your heart you grow resentful.
Admire him... Me?
Eh? Ah! W-Wait!
Hold on tight!
Hitomi-san!
Ah,, you're bac-
Oh?
Um, for Rioh-san's song, can we fit it in?
Eh? What's this situation?
That's fine. Since he skipped his turn, we'll do it twice?
Yes.
For Rioh-san's song, I'll skate it once.
