1. TSURUGA, FUKUI PREFECTURE
Copy !req
2. Lux Higashiyama students,
let's kick off this training camp!
Copy !req
3. For young skaters like you, summer is a
time to build up your strength and skill,
Copy !req
4. and push yourselves to new heights.
Copy !req
5. The work you put in now will determine
your accomplishments this winter.
Copy !req
6. - So give it your all!
- Yes, ma'am.
Copy !req
7. All right!
Copy !req
8. Have you all finished the handout
I gave you with your goals for the week?
Copy !req
9. - Yes. I'm done!
- Pass them up from the back, please.
Copy !req
10. These are gonna help us keep you guys
on the right track.
Copy !req
11. Now, who would like to share
what they wrote with the class?
Copy !req
12. - To do a Lutz!
- To not talk during practice!
Copy !req
13. To get a double flip
and a double toe loop!
Copy !req
14. To land a double Axel and a triple Salchow
before the end of the week!
Copy !req
15. Oh, I love that.
Copy !req
16. I heard you yelling about that
the other day!
Copy !req
17. You wanna compete in Novice
this year, right?
Copy !req
18. Well, I'd like to, yeah.
Copy !req
19. Well, there's no backing out now,
is there?
Copy !req
20. Way to embarrass yourself.
Copy !req
21. Hey. Play nice, you two!
Copy !req
22. Okay. Who else has a goal
they'd like to share?
Copy !req
23. - A triple Salchow!
- Huh?
Copy !req
24. Don't tell me you started the party
without me. I just got here.
Copy !req
25. Heya, gang. Sorry we ran late.
Copy !req
26. Hey, Mittens!
Copy !req
27. DANCE THE NIGHT
Copy !req
28. Okay, everybody! This is
our special guest coach, Mario Nachi!
Copy !req
29. Coach Tsukasa called her up for us.
Copy !req
30. And she's gonna help us out
with jumps this week!
Copy !req
31. Yeah! Thank you for having me!
Copy !req
32. Thank you for coming!
Copy !req
33. Coach Nachi's great.
Copy !req
34. She was even able to land
a quadruple Salchow back in her day!
Copy !req
35. Except I was never actually able
to land one during a competition.
Copy !req
36. I'm glad she could make it.
Copy !req
37. Learning from different teachers is
invaluable for young skaters.
Copy !req
38. I just hope our other guest coach
will make it before the final day of camp.
Copy !req
39. Hmm? That Rioh Sonidori?
Copy !req
40. What are you doing here? Couldn't get
into the Nagano camp, or what?
Copy !req
41. - Huh?
- No, I'm doing both.
Copy !req
42. That one doesn't start till next week.
Copy !req
43. Oh, yeah. Inori couldn't do Nagano?
Copy !req
44. Nah, she's not level six yet,
so she couldn't apply.
Copy !req
45. And by next year she'll have aged out.
Copy !req
46. I know it's great for Novice
so I really wish she could've made it.
Copy !req
47. Almost every Olympic skater out of Japan
in the last decade
Copy !req
48. has gone through that camp.
Copy !req
49. Ah, well. Her path has been
anything but traditional,
Copy !req
50. but we're gonna make it work.
Copy !req
51. But can you not phrase it
like that, at least?
Copy !req
52. I'm good enough to go to the Nagano camp
every single year.
Copy !req
53. Flapjack octopus-lookin' head.
Copy !req
54. You think I'm an octopus?
Copy !req
55. I'm being a cat! These are cat ears!
Obviously! Are you stupid or something?
Copy !req
56. How about you tell me
how you really feel, four-eyes?
Copy !req
57. Yeah, I've been telling you.
Copy !req
58. All right! Give it a rest!
Copy !req
59. Kids are so much fun.
Copy !req
60. All right. Sota wants to land
a double flip and a double toe loop,
Copy !req
61. Inori's goal is a double Axel
and a triple Sal.
Copy !req
62. And Rioh wants... Oh...
Copy !req
63. TRAINING CAMP GOALS
Copy !req
64. Oh.
Copy !req
65. Listen up! It's time for jumping 101
with Coach Nacchin. All right?
Copy !req
66. Today we're gonna work
on straight jumping.
Copy !req
67. Jumps typically follow a curved path,
Copy !req
68. but we're gonna practice jumping
in a straight line.
Copy !req
69. How about, um... Nori!
Copy !req
70. - Uh... Yes!
- Come here!
Copy !req
71. Nori?
Copy !req
72. I want you to start over there
and jump towards me inside this width.
Copy !req
73. Sound good?
Copy !req
74. Um... What do you mean "inside this width"?
Copy !req
75. You gotta stay in the lane!
Copy !req
76. Give it a go, Ino-no!
Copy !req
77. She changed my name again!
Copy !req
78. I'm so far outside the box.
Copy !req
79. See? When you jump in a straight line
like that, or try to,
Copy !req
80. you get a better sense
of your centrifugal force.
Copy !req
81. Sometimes, if you're trying to jump
on a curve,
Copy !req
82. centrifugal force overpowers you,
and you curl too far inwards.
Copy !req
83. So if you can teach your body
what a straight jump feels like,
Copy !req
84. you'll learn to work with the force
and create a perfect curved path.
Copy !req
85. CORRECT PATH
Copy !req
86. Make sense?
Copy !req
87. Training to keep
from getting overpowered...
Copy !req
88. I wasn't sure how to fix that on my own!
Copy !req
89. 'Kay! I'll try again!
Copy !req
90. Cool. Rioh! You're up.
Copy !req
91. Forward crossover...
Copy !req
92. Mohawk.
Copy !req
93. Yeah! Now jump!
Copy !req
94. ICE ARENA
Copy !req
95. Yeah! Good form!
Copy !req
96. Next up!
Copy !req
97. TSUKASA'S
TRACKING LESSON
Copy !req
98. He's got us chasing
the kids all day...
Copy !req
99. Sure, it's great
for keeping track of them...
Copy !req
100. But I'm retired now.
Copy !req
101. I don't remember the last time
I skated this much at once.
Copy !req
102. I'm so out of shape!
Copy !req
103. Hey, ladies. Everything okay?
Copy !req
104. Yeah, we're fine.
Copy !req
105. Just a little, you know,
out of breath, here.
Copy !req
106. That's no problem! You two take a break.
Copy !req
107. - I can get them all in the next heat.
- Oh...
Copy !req
108. - Let's go one more round!
- Okay!
Copy !req
109. Coach Tsukasa is pretty relentlessly
positive, isn't he?
Copy !req
110. He's all "keep truckin', go-get-'em"...
Copy !req
111. He seems like it, huh?
Copy !req
112. - But he's not, really.
- Huh?
Copy !req
113. It's true that he can be super optimistic
if it's regarding another person.
Copy !req
114. But when it comes to believing in himself,
it's like he's his own worst enemy.
Copy !req
115. He won't listen to anyone
who thinks otherwise.
Copy !req
116. Wow!
Copy !req
117. Do we get this space all to ourselves?
Copy !req
118. Yeah! Where you sleeping?
Copy !req
119. Hmm... I think here!
Copy !req
120. Okay, then I wanna set up
right next to you!
Copy !req
121. Okay! It's like a sleepover.
Copy !req
122. Wow, look at that!
Copy !req
123. Thank you for the meal!
Copy !req
124. That bath felt great.
Copy !req
125. I know, I'm so relaxed.
Copy !req
126. Whoa!
Copy !req
127. This place is enormous! I'm so excited.
Copy !req
128. Getting to hang out in a big, fancy
bath house like this is a serious luxury.
Copy !req
129. I'll make the most of it.
Copy !req
130. Hmm... Huh?
Copy !req
131. Hey, Rioh. You're up late.
Copy !req
132. Is that a shampoo cap?
My little brother used to use...
Copy !req
133. Uh...
Copy !req
134. Wait.
Copy !req
135. Didn't we set a curfew for them?
Copy !req
136. Ah, whatever.
Copy !req
137. I came here late on purpose
so I wouldn't have to run into anyone.
Copy !req
138. I'll just leave.
Copy !req
139. The water's perfect.
Copy !req
140. So tell me. How was your first day?
Copy !req
141. It was fine. I'm gonna get going.
Copy !req
142. - Oh. Well, hey. Before you do...
- What?
Copy !req
143. we should talk about your goal sheet.
Do you wanna fill it out together?
Copy !req
144. Yeah. No, thanks.
Copy !req
145. It's not like
I couldn't think of anything.
Copy !req
146. I already know what I want to achieve.
Copy !req
147. The triple-double combination, that right?
Copy !req
148. To pass your level six exam?
Copy !req
149. I'd rather not tell anyone.
Copy !req
150. I got ya. I know exactly how you feel.
Copy !req
151. Huh?
Copy !req
152. I was like that too. I was always afraid
that people would think my dreams
Copy !req
153. were either too big or too small,
you know?
Copy !req
154. But listen.
If you ever do feel like sharing,
Copy !req
155. just let me know,
and I'll do what I can to help.
Copy !req
156. - Okay, Coach.
- Hmm?
Copy !req
157. If you wanna get to know each other, then
tell me what your Singles badge level is.
Copy !req
158. Uh...
Copy !req
159. I looked but I didn't see his name
anywhere in the public records
Copy !req
160. for Novice or Junior competition.
Copy !req
161. There's no way
this coach has a level six badge.
Copy !req
162. Just spit it out, already.
Copy !req
163. Then I can say,
Copy !req
164. "How do you expect to teach a student
who's already better than you?"
Copy !req
165. I'm Prelim.
Copy !req
166. You're kidding.
Copy !req
167. Nope.
Copy !req
168. Oh. Don't tell Inori.
Copy !req
169. I bet she would be disappointed
if she found that out.
Copy !req
170. At least, she wouldn't be talking so much
about beating Hikaru.
Copy !req
171. - No. She knows.
- Hmm?
Copy !req
172. Inori knows. I've told her already.
Copy !req
173. Well, all right.
If she thinks she can win knowing that,
Copy !req
174. there's nothing more for me
to say about it.
Copy !req
175. Rioh, wait.
Copy !req
176. And one more thing.
Copy !req
177. You don't need to worry about me so much.
Copy !req
178. I'm only here
to get away from my original club.
Copy !req
179. Besides,
Copy !req
180. I hit a wall.
Copy !req
181. I don't think I'm gonna get any better.
Copy !req
182. Wait! Why would you say that?
Copy !req
183. It doesn't matter.
Copy !req
184. And why the hell
are you so jacked, anyway?
Copy !req
185. - Huh?
- Take an honest look at yourself.
Copy !req
186. You're better off training muscle
than you are training athletes, Coach.
Copy !req
187. Have a good night.
Copy !req
188. Look. This is as far
as I could get.
Copy !req
189. And it took years!
But if I'd had a real coach,
Copy !req
190. I could have done it in an hour.
Copy !req
191. That doesn't mean
it was all wasted effort.
Copy !req
192. I don't know.
Copy !req
193. It's hard not to feel like it.
Copy !req
194. If only I'd met a coach
earlier in my career...
Copy !req
195. HOW TO DANCE MAGNIFICENTLY
Copy !req
196. then...
Copy !req
197. maybe...
Copy !req
198. Little punk ass brat!
Copy !req
199. He asked what level I was on purpose so
I'd have to admit that I'm beneath him!
Copy !req
200. What a nasty kid! He needs Inori
to purify his rotten worm soul!
Copy !req
201. Coach.
Copy !req
202. I knew someone would bring
this up if I started coaching. I knew it!
Copy !req
203. That's why I was hesitant to start
in the first place!
Copy !req
204. But I accepted it!
Copy !req
205. I thought I had braced myself for this!
Copy !req
206. Wanting to be a good coach is all that
matters to me now!
Copy !req
207. Why'd you drag all that up?
Copy !req
208. Huh?
Copy !req
209. Just you wait and see, Rioh.
Copy !req
210. You're gonna land
that triple-double combo.
Copy !req
211. And you're gonna do it
under my instruction. You hear me?
Copy !req
212. We're gonna make that combo happen,
you little turd.
Copy !req
213. And we're gonna do it together!
Copy !req
214. Hmm?
Copy !req
215. What's the matter?
Copy !req
216. Nothing. I just thought
I heard Coach Tsukasa out there.
Copy !req
217. Well, he is pretty loud, isn't he?
Copy !req
218. - Hey, Mittens?
- What's up?
Copy !req
219. If I fail the level six test
more than once,
Copy !req
220. does that mean
I'd need to look for a new coach?
Copy !req
221. I don't think so.
Copy !req
222. People might say it,
but that doesn't make it true.
Copy !req
223. I hope not. I wanna prove
I can get better no matter what.
Copy !req
224. That's why I'm so mad
about this double Axel.
Copy !req
225. I wanna be a good athlete
who can choose the coach I like.
Copy !req
226. It's okay, 'Nori.
You got nothin' to worry about.
Copy !req
227. Thanks, Mittens.
Copy !req
228. TSURUGA ICE ARENA
Copy !req
229. Dreaming about jumping,
I guess?
Copy !req
230. What's up, Rioh? Morning!
Copy !req
231. I thought I told you.
I don't want you talking to me.
Copy !req
232. Big day ahead of us! You want to land
that triple-double combo, right?
Copy !req
233. Uh...
Copy !req
234. I'm ready to do whatever I can
to help out!
Copy !req
235. All your jumps yesterday
were really clean.
Copy !req
236. I'll be watching you
more closely today, though.
Copy !req
237. TSURUGA ICE ARENA
Copy !req
238. Hey. You're doing great!
Copy !req
239. All your lines are way more uniform.
Copy !req
240. You think so?
Copy !req
241. Yeah, you're close. You fell
'cause you landed on your inner edge.
Copy !req
242. But we can work on that.
Let's look at your form in detail.
Copy !req
243. Yes, sir!
Copy !req
244. At the Novice level,
Copy !req
245. you're required to have
an Axel somewhere in your program.
Copy !req
246. You don't compete otherwise.
Copy !req
247. The triple Axel that Hikaru landed
was a miracle jump.
Copy !req
248. Only a few of the greats have ever
pulled it off.
Copy !req
249. And since I can't perform miracles yet,
Copy !req
250. the double Axel will be the trusty sword
I wield on the world stage!
Copy !req
251. I can do it.
Copy !req
252. You can do it.
Copy !req
253. I can do it!
Copy !req
254. Double Axel landed.
Copy !req
255. All-Japans, here we come!
Copy !req
256. Was that the first time
she's ever done that?
Copy !req
257. She's suppressing her excitement
Copy !req
258. because her real goal is competing
at the Novice level.
Copy !req
259. But it's obvious how elated they are.
Copy !req
260. HA, I LANDED A 2A
Copy !req
261. Wait. Did my brilliant instruction perhaps
give my future adversary an advantage?
Copy !req
262. Not that I'd mind, of course!
I'm an adult! And my heart is enormous.
Copy !req
263. Hmm? What's up?
Copy !req
264. I still want you to be the first
to land a triple-double combo.
Copy !req
265. Yeah. I know I gotta work hard, too.
Copy !req
266. I do not wanna lose again,
not to Inori or anybody.
Copy !req
267. Rioh! You're up next to skate with music!
Copy !req
268. Okay.
Copy !req
269. Why am I getting so worked up?
Copy !req
270. All this hard work for no reason...
Copy !req
271. I just want to stop.
Copy !req
272. He's good.
Copy !req
273. His posture, speed, jump structure,
the flow of his movements.
Copy !req
274. High-level execution of every aspect.
Copy !req
275. He ranked eighth
at the Novice level last year.
Copy !req
276. He's obviously got a ton of potential.
So why is he so pessimistic?
Copy !req
277. I'm on a roll today.
Copy !req
278. My edges are slicing perfectly
through the ice.
Copy !req
279. So maybe...
Copy !req
280. A triple?
Copy !req
281. Come on.
Copy !req
282. I knew I wasn't gonna make it.
Copy !req
283. Nice work, Rioh!
Copy !req
284. You have a beautiful routine!
Copy !req
285. You looked so graceful.
Copy !req
286. And I'm seriously proud of you
for attempting that triple.
Copy !req
287. You put up a great fight!
Copy !req
288. Don't spin.
Don't try to force yourself to turn.
Copy !req
289. Just become the axis.
Copy !req
290. Remember what that double Axel felt like.
Copy !req
291. Hug your body tight.
Copy !req
292. And feel the axis inside your body.
Copy !req
293. The rotational speed of
a double Axel
Copy !req
294. is about the same as it is
for a triple of any other jump.
Copy !req
295. So a skater who's struggled with a double
Axel for long enough may suddenly find
Copy !req
296. they can overcome the wall
to performing triples!
Copy !req
297. Yes, yes, yes!
Copy !req
298. That was a triple Salchow!
Copy !req
299. Two major breakthroughs in one afternoon.
Are you kidding me?
Copy !req
300. Um... You see that?
Copy !req
301. Yeah, I saw that.
You wanna see my GOE plus five joy?
Copy !req
302. Not yet, Coach! You can't yet!
Copy !req
303. You said it ain't over till it's over.
Copy !req
304. And it's not a real jump
until you can get it timed to your music!
Copy !req
305. So don't get excited yet!
Copy !req
306. SUPER ADMIRABLE
Copy !req
307. Inori's awesomeness truly knows no bounds!
Copy !req
308. Excellent! Wonderful!
Copy !req
309. Are you okay?
Copy !req
310. How admirable.
Copy !req
311. Say hello. This is the girl
who's going to live with us.
Copy !req
312. Nice to meet you.
Copy !req
313. Ask me anything, okay?
Copy !req
314. - My dad is an Olympian, so I know a lot.
- Okay.
Copy !req
315. I'm gonna work really hard
so I can get good like you, Rioh.
Copy !req
316. Um... Mr. Yodaka.
Copy !req
317. Sorry to bother you like this. But, um...
Copy !req
318. I'd like to try taking
the same kind of lesson you give Hikaru...
Copy !req
319. if I can.
Copy !req
320. You're in the way.
Copy !req
321. Rioh, Jun is coaching Hikaru
as part of a special agreement, okay?
Copy !req
322. Let's not bother them.
Copy !req
323. FOR CUSTOMER USE ONLY
PARKING
Copy !req
324. Aha! Finally found you!
Copy !req
325. You got another music run to do, mister!
Copy !req
326. Way to go.
Copy !req
327. - She got her triple.
- Hmm?
Copy !req
328. Go work with her more and leave me alone.
Copy !req
329. You know I'm not gonna do that.
You're my student just as much as she is!
Copy !req
330. And besides, I swore that
I'd get you that triple, too!
Copy !req
331. Your intensity freaks me out
a little bit, you know that?
Copy !req
332. Like, what are you so passionate about?
Copy !req
333. The real question is
what are you so pessimistic about?
Copy !req
334. You're incredibly skilled!
Copy !req
335. You can only compete
at the Novice level four times.
Copy !req
336. And then you age out forever,
so I can't sweep.
Copy !req
337. I can't do any triples,
Copy !req
338. not a Salchow and definitely not a Lutz
or a loop like Hikaru can.
Copy !req
339. I got into the Nagano camp
but I won't seed.
Copy !req
340. My coach is my Olympic-silver-medalist
dad, and this is still all I got.
Copy !req
341. So what do I blame my failure on?
Copy !req
342. I had the right environment,
the right training, an encouraging parent,
Copy !req
343. I come from money.
Copy !req
344. And it still isn't enough.
Copy !req
345. Not for me. I have everything
Copy !req
346. except for actual talent.
Copy !req
347. I'm just not good enough.
Copy !req
348. So I don't know.
Copy !req
349. I bet if you were me,
you'd be pretty pessimistic, too.
Copy !req
350. - Are you...
- Uh...
Copy !req
351. Are you trying to be like Jun Yodaka?
Copy !req
352. Uh...
Copy !req
353. I'm just saying,
Copy !req
354. you're mistaking a whole bunch
of high-level stuff for the bare minimum.
Copy !req
355. Landing a triple Lutz, loop,
and Axel in your Novice B era,
Copy !req
356. being chosen as an Olympic seed
at every Nagano camp,
Copy !req
357. winning the Novice title
four years running...
Copy !req
358. Only one athlete in history has
that record.
Copy !req
359. And it's Jun Yodaka.
Copy !req
360. Just shut up!
Copy !req
361. I don't even want to hear his stupid name.
Copy !req
362. Oh.
Copy !req
363. Wait, really? 'Cause your skating habits
are closer to Jun Yodaka's than your—

364. In the entire world,
I only hate two things,
Copy !req
365. and those are cockroaches and Jun Yodaka.
Copy !req
366. If I had to choose
between a roach smoothie
Copy !req
367. or going to buy cigarettes for Jun Yodaka,
Copy !req
368. I'd take the smoothie every time.
Copy !req
369. Jun would probably run his own
errands if he saw Rioh like this.
Copy !req
370. Well, I think I see the issue.
Copy !req
371. You're angry that he made it look so easy.
Copy !req
372. Huh?
Copy !req
373. I think you resent him so much
because you admire him so strongly.
Copy !req
374. Admire him?
Copy !req
375. I...
Copy !req
376. - Um... Hey. Wait.
- Now you just hold on tight!
Copy !req
377. What are...
Copy !req
378. Coach Hitomi!
Copy !req
379. Hey, look who's back.
Copy !req
380. Heya. Can we play his song?
Copy !req
381. - Do we still have time?
- What is going on here?
Copy !req
382. Yeah, sure thing.
We skipped his turn, so he can go twice.
Copy !req
383. Well, good.
Copy !req
384. Because before he goes,
Copy !req
385. I would like to skate it once.
