ボリショイの頂点に立った20歳｜9年ぶり日本人金賞、グジェレフ瞭舞の深層

At the Moscow International Ballet Competition, 20-year-old Ryoma Gzhelev of the Mariinsky Ballet won the gold medal. This is the first gold medal for a Japanese dancer in nine years, since 2017. Furthermore, three Japanese dancers—Ryoma Gzhelev, Izumi Watanabe, and Sakura Nagai—won medals simultaneously. Why is Japan, which lacks a national ballet school, able to consistently produce dancers at the pinnacle of the world? This program delves into the reasons behind this success. From behind the scenes of the Moscow International Ballet Competition, often called the "Olympics of Ballet," we trace the journey of a boy who traveled alone to Belarus at the age of 12 and eventually reached the Mariinsky Ballet, the mecca of Russian ballet. Furthermore, based on nationwide survey data commissioned by the Agency for Cultural Affairs, we analyze the structure of Japanese ballet training, highlighting its world-leading base of 4,260 ballet schools and 256,000 students, and the surprising fact that only 3.1 percent are male. 37 years have passed since Tetsuya Kumakawa became the first Japanese person to win a gold medal at the Prix de Lausanne International Ballet Competition in 1989 and joined the Royal Ballet in the UK. Let's consider together the underlying strength of Japanese culture, which has produced world champions from local studios. ▼Table of Contents ・Opening ・Introduction ・What is the Olympics of Ballet? ・Ryobu Gzherev: The Journey from Age 12 ・A Deep Dive: The Training Structure of a Country Without National Schools ・Summary ▼Main Sources and References Jiji Press: Ryobu Gzherev 1st Place, Watanabe 2nd Place, Nagai 3rd Place - Moscow International Ballet Kyodo News: Moscow International Ballet, Japanese Wins Gold Medal in Senior Male Solo Division, First Time in 2017 Nihon Keizai Shimbun: Moscow International Ballet, Ryobu Gzherev Wins Gold Medal, First Japanese Winner in 2017 Chacott World Report: Interview with Ryoma Gzhelev, who has been accepted into the Mariinsky Ballet Agency for Cultural Affairs Commissioned Project - Showa University of Music Ballet Institute: Nationwide Survey on Ballet Education in Japan 2021 K-BALLET: About Tetsuya Kumakawa ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ [Voice Reading] VOICEVOX: Ryusei Aoyama ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ [Deep Cross-Sectional View] We cut out the "deep layers" of events and people in the world, rather than just the "surface," and by carefully showing that cross-section, we provide new perspectives and deeper understanding.
