Why this series stands out

It isn't over until you lose twice.

For grown-upsA grown-up who quit dancing for their child is called back to a night that only ends after two losses. Lose, and the beat you answered still stays.

  1. Feel four-on-the-floor, three-beat, offbeat and layered beats by answering a real caller

  2. Tell the caller's turn from your own in a climax that never stops on a miss

  3. Watch the bracket and tonight's beat grow each episode, then take them into family dance time

Inside the series world

Shutter Night

Ritsu, thirty-six, stopped dancing for her child and the family bakery. Then a challenge flyer for the night battle in the shopping arcade arrives with her old dancer name on it. Every night brings a different grown-up opponent, each carrying their own life and genre into the circle. At the climax the reader keeps the count for Ritsu and answers the caller's beat; missing never stops the night. Finishing an episode grows the bracket and unlocks the Full Beat, a whole track to dance through. Episode 1 reads to the climax with no account.
