00:00The Japan Champion Carnival Tournament is heating up after the first round.
00:09It looks like this year's tournament will be a high-level battle, don't you think?
00:14Absolutely!
00:16They all have that look in their eyes. Rather than the glory of victory, it's the battle that burns within their hearts.
00:39And yet the joy of spinning is much greater than competition. Competition just makes it interesting.
00:46I became a professional spinner because of the joy of spinning against him.
00:56Nakamura!
00:58I'll be right out!
01:07Haha! I have money!
01:10I'd like this!
01:20You did it, Nakamura!
01:22Yeah!
01:24I finally got one! This is my own yo-yo!
01:27He he he!
01:37Yeah!
01:49Cool!
01:50It's too much!
01:52Hey! Try walk the dog next!
01:55Ah!
01:56I don't want to do it here. My yo-yo will get scratched up!
02:00Yeah, sure. It's just that you can't do it.
02:03I can too!
02:05Then let's see it!
02:07No way!
02:09Aw! I knew you can't do it!
02:11I can too! I just don't want to do it here!
02:13Wait till I catch you!
02:14Ha ha!
02:15Ha ha!
02:16Ha ha!
02:17Ha ha!
02:19Ha ha!
02:20Ha ha!
02:21Ha ha!
02:22Ha ha!
02:23Ha ha ha!
02:24Ha ha ha!
02:25Ha ha ha!
02:26Ha ha ha ha!
02:27Ha ha ha ha!
02:28Ha ha ha!
02:29Ha ha ha!
02:30Ha ha ha!
02:31Whoa!
02:32Wow!
02:33Wow!
02:35You've already mastered Tokyo Tower, Nakamura!
02:38You just spotted!
02:39You're good!
02:40I take it everywhere. I practice every day.
02:44Why don't you enter Yotsu Koshi Department Store's yo-yo contest?
02:48Contest?
02:49Yeah, I think you might do really well in it.
02:58A yo-yo contest.
03:02I'm sure there'll be guys who are better than me.
03:05But I refuse to lose.
03:10What a dexterous kid.
03:26His long fingers must have something to do with it.
03:29They're as long as mine.
03:31More than that, he looks like he's having fun.
03:33The others are struggling, yet he's the only one.
03:36Yeah, seems to love yo-yo from the bottom of his heart.
03:42And now for the results.
03:44The winner is...
03:46Konichi Nakamura!
03:52Yeah!
03:55And that's how I got hooked on the yo-yo.
03:58The winner is...
04:02Konichi Nakamura!
04:06First champion is...
04:08Konichi Nakamura!
04:12Konichi Nakamura, congratulations!
04:15Wow, Konichi!
04:17You've won four straight since the Takashimaya Department Store Contest.
04:21Maybe you're a natural.
04:22You're definitely gonna win at the Sakurado Contest, too, aren't you, Nakamura?
04:27All it takes is practice.
04:30Let's practice together after school.
04:38What?
04:39I thought you guys agreed we were gonna practice together.
04:41No, we can't keep up with you.
04:43What's the point of it all?
04:44I mean, we'll see you later, okay?
04:45See you later.
04:46Hey, wait!
04:47Guys!
04:48Well, I guess it's just you and me.
04:58Ah, that's okay.
04:59Let's get going!
05:00I'll just watch.
05:01Huh?
05:03I'm not very good.
05:05I don't want you to waste your practice time.
05:09Ah...
05:09See?
05:20See how easy it is?
05:21In your dreams!
05:23It's impossible to do the long sleeper sideways.
05:27No, that's not true.
05:28If you try, you can do it.
05:30Isn't the Sakurado Contest tomorrow?
05:32Instead of wasting your time on us, you ought to be practicing, don't you think?
05:36Make it five straight wins, Konichi.
05:38I know you can win it, Nakamura!
06:00I know you can win it, Nakamura!
06:00Ah!
06:08Ah!
06:10No!
06:16That kid is something.
06:18Nobody can touch his technique, that's for sure.
06:20I'm not going to lose.
06:28Neither am I.
06:29Ah!
06:30Ah!
06:31Oh!
06:31Five straight wins without a loss!
06:42Good for you, Nakamura!
06:44I guess.
06:46What's wrong?
06:47You don't seem very happy.
06:49No, no, I'm okay.
06:51No.
06:53But...
06:54I wonder why.
07:03I'm missing something.
07:04Everyone is playing yo-yo around me, yet I seem to be all alone.
07:18Yo-yo, isn't any fun.
07:33Oh, yeah, yeah.
07:50No.
07:53Oh, yeah, yeah.
07:54Hi, waited long?
08:05You're late, Nakamura.
08:06Sorry.
08:07So, what did you want to talk about?
08:10Nakamura, it snowed on Mount Zao.
08:13Already?
08:14Keep your weekend free.
08:16I'm planning a snowboarding tour.
08:18A new ski season.
08:19And maybe I'll buy a new snowboard.
08:22I was no longer interested in yo-yos.
08:27So many.
08:29Hmm.
08:33So, do you see what you like, huh?
08:36Yes, this one.
08:38Oh, that's a good model.
08:39And it has a good reputation, too.
08:41I'd really love to have it, but I don't think I can afford it.
08:44Hmm.
08:52Hmm.
08:56Huh?
09:01Wow.
09:02I haven't played with one of those in years.
09:09Auto-return system using a centrifugal clutch?
09:12Wow, a lot has changed since my time.
09:16It's so high-tech.
09:22Were yo-yos this small?
09:32Wow, it spins well.
09:37It returned on its own.
09:39Strange.
09:42I'm a natural.
10:04Not bad for the first time in years.
10:06I guess I haven't lost my touch.
10:08I'm a natural.
10:12Whoa, what?
10:19Huh?
10:20A yo-yo demonstrator is coming from Hawaii?
10:23Wow, I didn't expect this.
10:37Yo-yos have gotten popular.
10:39Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, allow me to introduce straight from Hawaii, professional spinner Alex Garcia.
10:46Hey, nice to meet you.
10:49Hey, everybody.
10:51What's this?
10:53It's just a kid.
10:54I shouldn't have come.
10:55I shouldn't have come.
10:56He can't be that good.
10:58I'll take over for him, sure.
11:00Hehehehe.
11:01Whoa!
11:02What?
11:03Huh?
11:04What?
11:05What are those complicated tricks?
11:15And so fast!
11:17It's really different.
11:30This isn't a yo-yo I knew.
11:32I couldn't stand to watch him any longer.
11:47They have this cabin here that we're gonna stay at, and it has all these great wood fires, and also there's this discotheque in the club, and they have the best music.
12:10They have the-
12:27Hey, Nakamura.
12:29Huh?
12:30What are you daydreaming about, huh?
12:32Uh-huh, lack of sleep.
12:34I still couldn't contain my excitement two days later.
12:43Alex Garcia's amazing ability with a yo-yo just wouldn't leave my mind.
12:59Uh, what's come over me?
13:01I'm not gonna take up the yo-yo at this age.
13:14Hello.
13:15It's me, Nakamura.
13:17About tomorrow's snowboarding trip.
13:20Uh, I'm gonna have to cancel.
13:23I'm sorry.
13:24Uh, something...
13:25Something came up.
13:26No, it isn't that.
13:27I'm sorry.
13:28Huh?
13:29Uh-huh.
13:30No, no, it isn't that.
13:31I'm sorry.
13:32Huh?
13:33Uh-huh.
13:34No, no, it isn't that.
13:35I'm sorry.
13:36Ah!
13:37Ow!
13:38It's...
13:39Ugh!
13:40Ah!
13:41Geez!
13:42I can't do this anymore.
13:43I thought it would be easy.
13:44My reflexes are shot.
13:45Ugh.
13:46I used to be able to do a trick after seeing it one time.
13:48Oh, man!
13:49I can't do this anymore.
13:54I thought it would be easy.
13:55My reflexes are shot.
13:57Ugh.
13:58I used to be able to do a trick after seeing it one time.
14:03Aw, man.
14:04I can't fill in the 13-year gap.
14:08Oh, man.
14:09I know I can do this.
14:13Ah, that kid was really good.
14:37I'm not giving up!
14:43Almost!
14:44I'm not giving up, I know I can get this!
14:52Ow!
14:53What happened?
14:58Ah, this happened when I first started practicing with the yo-yo.
15:04No matter how sore my finger was, I continued to practice anyway.
15:09I'm not gonna give up.
15:12Nothing's going to stop me.
15:19So tell me, Alex, what do you think of Japan?
15:22It's a nice place.
15:23I liked it.
15:24I was a little bored.
15:29Stop the car!
15:39I did it!
15:40What?
15:41Huh?
15:42Good trick!
15:43Good job!
15:45Wow!
15:46You're...
15:47He was standing there.
15:48Hi!
15:49You love to play yo-yo, don't you?
15:54What?
15:55What?
15:56Hello!
15:57Huh?
15:58Huh?
15:59Huh?

18:17Come on, it's time to go!
18:20Okay.
18:23It's time to say goodbye, too bad.
18:26We were having fun!
18:32Huh?

18:40Kenichi Nakamura!
18:44My name is...
18:46Alex.
18:47Alex Garcia.
18:59I'm glad I came to Japan.
19:01Really?
19:02I thought you'd find it boring.
19:04He'll surely be a good player in the near future.
19:09And we will meet again.
19:12Hmm.
19:16Wow!
19:17He's fast!

19:34You want to go?
19:35You want to go?
19:36You want to go?
19:37Rivalry makes one better.
19:41Rivalry pushes one to try harder.
19:46Like it did for me.
