10DANCE テンダンス is a Japanese made-for-TV BL film which premiered on December 18, 2025. It is adapted from the manga series of the same name by Inoe Sato 井上佐藤. This is very different to the usual school/workplace BL dramas as it is centred around the competitive dancesport arena. It is also the second LGBTQ+ drama that premiered in the past month which is based on competitive sports, the other one being Heated Rivalry from Canada about ice hockey…
Suzuki Shinya (Takeuchi Ryoma) is the Japanese champion of Latin Dance, while Sugiki Shinya (Machida Keita) is the Japanese champion and second-ranked dancer in Standard Ballroom in the world. They are often compared to each other because of their similar names despite dancing in different categories, which frustrates the competitive Suzuki. One day, Suzuki receives a surprise when Sugiki asks him to team up and win the 10-Dance Competition. The 10-Dance is a competition in which top dancers perform five varieties of Latin Dance and five varieties of Standard Ballroom. Knowing how difficult it would be, Suzuki initially rejects Sugiki’s proposal to teach each other their respective styles and compete on the world stage, but Sugiki’s provocative attitude sparks Suzuki’s competitive spirit and spurs him to begrudgingly accept. The two men’s opposite personalities clash as they devote themselves to daily lessons, but they grow steadily closer over time. Before long, Suzuki realizes he has started developing a romantic attraction to Sugiki.
10DANCE (Soundtrack from the Netflix Film) by Yokoyama Masaru 横山克
Apart from the official soundtrack music by Yokoyama Masaru written especially for the film, quite a few of the other music used in the film are popular dancesport tunes performed by the Dancelife Orchestra with various vocalists courtesy of Dancelife Music. However these are not included in the official soundtrack. I did find some of these music pieces/songs which may not be the exact specific ones rearranged/used in the film, but nevertheless here they are…
