Movie Summary:
Based on Masahito Soda’s popular manga, Dance, Subaru! is the perfect starring vehicle for singer-actress Kuroki Meisa (Crows Zero) who brings her dancing background to the silver screen. The picture of model beauty and grace, Kuroki plays a tough-cookie ballerina who must overcome many obstacles to fulfill her dancing dreams. Directed by Hong Kong filmmaker Lee Chi Ngai (Sleepless Town, Magic Kitchen), this inspirational dancing film wraps an affecting story of family, friendship, romance, and perseverance in soaring scenes of classical ballet and modern dance. The film co-stars heartthrob Hiraoka Yuta (Swing Girls), plus Korean actress Go Ara (Genghis Khan: To the Ends of the Earth and Sea) and Sano Miku (Sunadokei) as friends and rival dancers. Korean boy band Dong Bang Shin Ki, who sing the film’s theme song, also make a special cameo appearance in Dance, Subaru!
Walking her own road from a young age, headstrong dancing prodigy Subaru (Kuroki Meisa) is determined to become a professional ballerina, a dream she carries both for herself and her late twin brother. Despite a tough childhood, Subaru grows as a dancer under the guidance of retired ballerina and cabaret club owner Isuzu (veteran actress Momoi Kaori). Shining through with her vibrant but undisciplined talent, she wins a coveted spot in a ballet production, and enters an international competition to vie for entry into the top ballet companies. But in a competitive world where friends are also foes, a very tough road lies ahead for Subaru.
