2 STEPS！

Two youths dance for their dreams in 2 Steps!, the first film from The Prince of Tennis Musical stage director Ueshima Yukio. This ikemen youth film revolves around two young men from different backgrounds who meet during a dance audition, and become good friends through their common love for dancing. Up-and-coming stage and TV idols Nakagauchi Masataka (Biyoshonen Celebrity) and Furukawa Yuta (Kizumomo) star in this fresh and vibrant production about dreams, friendship, and dancing. 2 Steps! also co-stars other rising young actors like Shindo Gaku, Kato Ryosuke, Harukawa Kyosuke, and Miyano Mamoru. 2 Steps! is part of the Kirakira movie series which also includes Flowers Guerrilla and Shinjuku Kabukicho Nursery

Directed by Yukio Ueshima, 2 STEPS！ leans on a strong ensemble — Masataka Nakagauchi, Yuta Furukawa, Gaku Shindou — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2009.
