He is then provoked by his instructor into entering a dance contest. Meanwhile, Numata is captivated by the soul dance performed at a live show by Soma, a man struggling to keep his band afloat, and asks Soma to take him on as an apprentice. The two form a duo and decide to compete in the dance contest.
