15th Yes!! We Dance
Date
Saturday, November 7, 2026
Open an ancient dictionary, and you will find the character “閃” interpreted as “peering out from within the gates.” Appearing from the shadows only to suddenly vanish – a sudden, instant motion.
Over time, this meaning has evolved to form the words we use today to express a burst of light, or a flash of inspiration.
The theme of our performance, “閃人間(HIRAMEKI-NINGEN)”, is this:
“We do not merely peer from the shadows. With a single step, we shall fling open the gates and enter into a new era.”
The moment you can catch sight of us, we will already be gone.
Visionaries of a future never-before-seen take the stage! Blink and you’ll miss it!
[Part 1] Dance Competition
From a narrow space behind the gates of dance, they dreamed of the day they too would enter the spotlight. Previously hidden, now their passion has been unleashed in a radiant flash!
[Part 2] HTDC Dance Theater
“A Fusion of Japanese and Latin Traditions.” HTDC, ever shattering the walls of convention, proudly presents a long-awaited new production! This bold new step once again breaks the boundaries between worlds.
Streaming starts August 23rd! 閃人間"Hirameki Ningen" is available on Spotify, Apple Music, and almost all major streaming platforms!
Japanese, Latin, Baroque, and Rock—a collection of tracks transcending time, space, and borders, created by salsa dancer TAKU!
This is a mini-album crafted with passion, featuring new songs written specifically for the stage production *Yes!! We Dance*, taking place at the Curian Main Hall on November 7th 2026.
・閃き Hirameki – Composed by TAKUMI KATO
The latest evolution of TAKU’s signature "Japanese-Latin" style, fusing the heart of Japan and the soul of Latin music with a powerful injection of rock elements.
・フーガ九番 Fugue Cuban – Composed by TAKUMI KATO
Baroque, Cuba, and Japan—three distinct worlds blend together on the keyboard in this, his first original piano composition.
・魁舞辻 Kibutsuji – Composed by TAKUMI KATO
A featured track from the stage production 狐火夢奇譚*Kitsunebi Mukitan*, which electrified the audience at Asakusa Public Hall. Here, the melodies of traditional Japanese instruments weave together with passionate salsa rhythms.
The era of merely peeking through the gap in the gate is over; now is the time to force open the door to a new age with one's own feet. We invite you to listen to *Hirameki Ningen*—an album imbued with that very determination.
