Directed by Keishi Otomo, this Japanese film brings together Ryoma Takeuchi and Keita Machida in a dramatic romance centered around dance competition. Available on Netflix on December 18, 2025, it explores the journey of two champions from different disciplines.
Shinya Suzuki, a leading figure in Latin dance in Japan, resents the constant comparisons with Shinya Sugiki, national champion and world vice-champion in standard dance. When Sugiki proposes an unexpected collaboration to compete in the "10 Dances," a competition combining five Latin dances and five standard dances, Suzuki initially refuses, convinced that their alliance is impossible.
Sugiki insists and draws him into a partnership where each must teach the other their technique. Their daily sessions turn into a constant battle marked by fierce rivalry, but also by a gradual rapprochement that challenges their personal and professional certainties.
The official trailer will be added as soon as it is released by Netflix.
The film is directed by Keishi Otomo, who has been involved in major Japanese productions. The cast features Ryoma Takeuchi and Keita Machida, actors known for their roles in contemporary dramas. The film focuses on the choreography, technical precision, and dynamic relationship between the two protagonists.
The tone aims for a sensitive approach, intended for viewers interested in romances set in a competitive environment and dramas where the evolution of personal relationships takes center stage.
