*This time, an exception was made for the Barrier-Free Category,
and a dancer under the guidance of Mr. Koichi Omae competed in the Barrier-Free Category.
This is because competitions with a barrier-free division are very rare in Japan.
For this reason, Mr. Koichi Omae was excluded from judging the Barrier-Free Division.
