Although Inoue-san is like that, it seems that he intends to graduate from the select team after graduating from high school. When asked about memorable events from the 12 years of dance he has continued since the first grade of elementary school, he said, "In my second year of junior high school, I aimed to become a regular member of the select team, increased my practice time, and was able to become a regular. The effort I put in at that time changed my dance life." He also reflected with a smile, "It was a fulfilling 12 years that I was able to complete without regrets."
When asked about future activities, he said, "Even after becoming a university student, I want to continue dancing in circles and other activities. I would also like to try teaching, utilizing my experiences so far." Let's look forward to Inoue-san's success on a new stage, having made remarkable achievements with a runner-up finish at the last world championship through daily efforts.
