Two youths dance for their dreams in 2 Steps!, the first film from The Prince of Tennis Musical stage director Ueshima Yukio. This ikemen youth film revolves around two young men from different backgrounds who meet during a dance audition, and become good friends through their common love for dancing. Up-and-coming stage and TV idols Nakagauchi Masataka (Biyoshonen Celebrity) and Furukawa Yuta (Kizumomo) star in this fresh and vibrant production about dreams, friendship, and dancing. 2 Steps! also co-stars other rising young actors like Shindo Gaku, Kato Ryosuke, Harukawa Kyosuke, and Miyano Mamoru. 2 Steps! is part of the Kirakira movie series which also includes Flowers Guerrilla and Shinjuku Kabukicho Nursery

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
