The Yokohama Inspires literally rattled the complex with their powerful eight and a half rendition of Malaguena with a score of 72.9, taking the High General Effect and High Brass captions as well.
The defending 2006 DCJ champions, the Yokohama Scouts, came in second with a score of 71.1, performing their program 'Colored Jazzy Volcano'. They took the High Percussion award. Tokyo Phoenix came in third with a 69.4, taking the High Visual award, and Pride of Soka rounded out the division I competition with a score of 69.2. In Division II, the Cherry Blossoms retook their lead over the Sonic Lancers with a score of 62.8. Sonic Lancers came in second with a score of 55.9.
