Aoki, who is balding and mocked at work for his rigid ways, is revealed to be leading a secret life as a long-haired (via a wig) ballroom dancer. Though distant from her, the classes increase his infatuation for Mai. His secret thus becomes twofold: not only must he hide the lessons from his wife, he must also hide them from his friends and colleagues as it is considered embarrassing according to traditional \u003ca class=\"mw-redirect\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Customs_and_etiquette_of_Japan\" title=\"Customs and etiquette of Japan\"\u003eJapanese customs\u003c\/a\u003e to participate in Western \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ballroom_dance\" class=\"img-responsive\" title=\"Ballroom dance\"\u003eballroom dance\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eLater, after being rebuffed by Mai, Sugiyama discovers to his surprise that his passion for ballroom dance outweighs his infatuation with her.
