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