The Final Dance (Saigo no Dansu): What was your favourite duedan of the year?

Elpidio!

It's always hard for me to pick out specific duedans from memory... But going through my 2022 watches, I knew I had to chose Elpidio.

Sha Tamae just never fails on that choreography. The choreography had such graceful movements to it that made it seem like it was almost moving with the music. The music as well, it was amazing. The instruments had such a delicate sound to them, aided by the blue lighting that flooded the stage, created an almost serene atmosphere. It then beautifully lead into Chinatu's lovely vocals, followed by some of Michiru's as well. The two had such a chemistry about them. The costumes are also absolutely stunning. Everything the cuts of the dress, and heavy black lacing on solid white in both costumes is just so, *chef's kiss* Gorgeous costumes, only for the best.
