Tsuyoshi the Acrobat and Nakai Troll

“Tsuyoshi, go!”, shouts Nakai. 

Tsuyoshi spreads his arms out and runs, slowly lifting himself off the floor. He spins, and spins, and spins and spins… eight times he spins, and lands gracefully at the end of the stage ramp. Satisfied with his graceful acrobatics, Tsuyoshi moves his arms around and dances in place, feeling good with himself.

Nakai, ever the troll, quickly picks us Tsu’s abandoned shoe, takes some kind of prop, and hurriedly tapes the shoe on a rail at one part of the stage. The other members continue to perform, and Tsuyoshi, finally realising what’s happening, runs over to where Nakai Troll is busily fastening his shoe. He desperately tries to stop the Troll, but the latter continues to play around with both the shoe and Tsuyoshi. 

Content with the amount of trolling, Nakai raises Tsuyoshi’s arms in a sort of victorious pose, and leaves the poor guy with his taped shoe. Tsuyoshi forcefully pulls the shoe, and finally gets it freed from its bondage with the railing.

He then runs off back to the stage, smiling and performing as if his shoe wasn’t a moment before tied to a railing.
