S’Tsung - La Senorita Freestyle

At Epitanimecon convention in Kremlin-Bicetre, people had the chance to participate in a freestyle and score tournament in DDR (as well ParaPara Paradise tournament was held there too).

I have to say that my arrival wasn’t lucky. I arrived slightly before 9 am and entered the convention at 2:20 pm. The freestyle tournament began at 2 pm and I managed to get there in time not ti be disqualified.

There were about twenty participants and most of them had already a choreography prepared and learned by heart. But there were also people who freestyled without preparation like me.

The atmosphere during the tournament was really great, because French people were applauding, singing the songs, clapping their hands in the rhythm and cheering as well, which was really nice. One of the participants did actually a salto backwards (poor Cobalt Flux..) which was quite amazing. Another participant was dancing with his friend which was fun.

When my name was announced everybody looked little bit distracted and surprised because they never heard of someone called S’Tsung. When I got to my feet (almost fainting - it was over 30 dgrs outside and 35 dgrs inside the building) they looked at me with no comprehension in their eyes.

Anyway I managed to get to the computer, I chose a song named La Senorita SM and showed the French people my “online” freestyle. They applauded and cheered me when I had no idea what to do on that nice shiny cobalt flux.

At the end they yelled and applauded as I never heard before and that warmed my heart. They liked my performance. Even though they really liked my performance I came up fourth (mainly because my performance wasn’t prepared so I looked at the screen mostly, I also tripped of the pad which got me minus points and I guess it wasn’t original at all^_^). But I was really happy about that. It was really a nice achievement for something not prepared and it was also a good experience for me.

Today or yesterday someone started a “game” on the dutch Dance Dance Revolution Netherlands Forum.
Each participant in this game has to write a short story using the names of Dance Dance Revolution songs. This is my story:

Since my graduation in 1998 I have a bad luck in love. At the summer Matsuri Japan at the end of the century. I met My Summer Love, Mr. Wonderful. He was calling me Senorita as we danced to a latino-american music in the heat of the night. After several hours spent together he asked me if I wouldn’t like to spend the next day with him. I’m naive person so I started to believe in miracles. Could this Mr. Wonderful be my Petit Love?
I agreed. Next night was wonderful. But several days later he has broken my heart. I arrived a bit earlier to our date and I’ve seen him flirting with other girls - Bad Girls for me. I couldn’t stand this attitude (no one can share my love!) and I decided to leave him alone and I went home, to a small house in a dead end. At night it’s quite dark there but tonight I was glad for it. I stayed outside for a while and I was looking to the sky. It only took a minute and I saw a shooting star which made me completely forget the anger which was still in my heart. What a miracle I thought. Even though the anger passed, I still felt a pain so deep buried in my heart. That night I have dreamed a dream. In that dream I met a handsome young man, who was actually a film superstar. His name was Tsugaru and he was living in America. We were at a one party. He came to me and I told him ‘I’m in a mood for dancing’ and he replied: ‘ follow me,’ and we danced the whole night. When I dream this dream, I always fall in love with him. I just can’t stop falling in love with my sweet darlin’ - Mr. T. It is true, that it’s highly impossible that this would actually happen. From time to time I feel… down. Tears start coming out of my eyes. I try to remember some joyful memories, but I don’t have so many. So I recall this dream. It’s a sort of healing vision.

This year I decided to finally get rid of my depressions. I went out several times with my friends. My closest friend Sakura told me: Come with me, I will show you something, which will help you. She took me to the arcades and introduced me a game a cool game called Dance Dance Revolution. I never thought someone could be dancing all alone a whole night (and spent so much money^_~). After that night Sakura told me: “I would never let you down, you know it, don’t you?”.
Now when I’m depressed I just go to the arcades and I play my favorite song “Butterfly“.
