[00:11] Kohane
    Oh, hey. It's Tatejima-san.
[00:13] Kotetsu
    Oh, Hatoya-san... Huh?!
[00:16] Kohane
    Heya.
[00:18] Kotetsu
    Y-You're carrying so much...
[00:22] Kotetsu
    H-Here, let me help you.
[00:24] Kohane
    Thanks.
[00:26] Kotetsu
    What is all this?
[00:27] Kohane
    Since we finally got a club room,
    I wanted to make it a cozy space,
[00:31] Kohane
    so I brought a bunch of things from home.
[00:35] Kohane
    I brought a teapot, a
    cushion, and some snacks!
[00:39] Kotetsu
    I-Is this her own room?
SIGN    Anima Yell!
[02:14] Kohane
    Actually...
[02:15] Kohane
    I've even got a secret weapon.
[02:18] Kotetsu
    A secret weapon? That sounds menacing...
[02:24] Kohane
    As long as we have this, no one
    will be able to stand up again!
[02:27] Kohane
    It's a charming must-have!
[02:30] Kotetsu
    A desk?
[02:31] Kohane
    Nope! This is...
[02:34] Kohane
    A kotatsu!
[02:36] Kotetsu
    Would that still be "charming" in spring?
SIGN    A/V Room
[02:41] Kohane
    And we're here!
[02:44] Kohane
    Thanks for helping me!
[02:46] Kotetsu
    No problem.
[02:48] Kohane
    Why don't you stop in for a bit?
[02:58] Kotetsu
    Oh, actually, I...
[03:00] Basket
    Oh, hey.
[03:03] Kohane
    Basketball-senpai!
[03:04] Basket
    I wanted to ask a favor.
[03:07] Basket
    And why are you calling me that?
[03:09] Kohane
    A favor...
[03:12] Kohane
    Do you need help asking someone out?
[03:14] Baskt
    Of course not! What are
    you even talking about?
[03:19] Basket
    We're having a practice match
    with another school this Sunday,
[03:23] Basket
    and we'd like you guys to cheer for us.
[03:25] Kohane
    Cheer?!
SIGN    Episode 4: Let's Cheer UP!
[03:35] Uki
    Wow. So the captain came to see you?
[03:39] Kotetsu
    Yeah. Apparently, they're having
    a match at the municipal gym,
[03:43] Kotetsu
    so she wanted you guys to cheer for them.
[03:45] Hizume
    Thank you for delivering
    that message, Tatejima-san.
[03:48] Kotetsu
    Oh, no problem. More importantly...
[03:52] Kotetsu
    Do you think Hatoya-san will be okay?
[03:55] Uki
    Oh, don't worry about her.
[03:57] Uki
    She'll eventually wake up on her own.
[03:59] Kotetsu
    Well, I'll be going, then.
[04:02] Uki
    Okay. Thanks again!
[04:06] Kohane
    Cheer?!
[04:07] Hizume
    You're finally awake.
[04:08] Kohane
    Basketball-senpai just asked us to—
[04:10] Hizume
    We already heard.
[04:12] Kohane
    What?! Did I tell you guys in my sleep?
[04:21] Kotetsu
    The cheer association...
[04:23] Kotetsu
    It actually seems kind of fun.
[04:26] Kotetsu
    Wait! There's no way
    I could be a cheerleader!
[04:33] Kohane
    Did you see that?
[04:36] Uki
    Yeah.
[04:37] Kohane
    That must mean she wants to be a
    cheerleader, but can't bring herself to say it!
[04:41] Kohane
    Tatejima-san!
[04:42] Uki
    Hold it.
[04:44] Uki
    If she can't say it, it probably means
    she's not confident about it.
[04:47] Uki
    We shouldn't force the issue.
[04:50] Kohane
    And this is the perfect time for cheer!
[04:52] Kohane
    We can make her feel more self-confident!
[04:56] Kohane
    Then again, she can't cheer because
    she's not confident enough...
[05:00] Kohane
    But in order to boost her
    confidence, she needs cheer...
[05:03] Uki
    And now you've made it a
    "chicken or the egg" scenario.
[05:07] Hizume
    In that case...
[05:09] Hizume
    Why don't we have her do a trial
    membership before anyone decides?
[05:13] Kohane
    Yes, that! That's what I was trying to say!
[05:14] Uki
    You liar!
[05:25] Kohane
    Huh? Is that a piano?
[05:27] Uki
    H-H-Hey, didn't they say the cursed
    music room was on the floor beneath us?
[05:33] Hizume
    Cursed?
[05:35] ---
    But didn't they say that the piano
    sounds were only heard at night?
[05:38] Uki
    Who cares about the minor details?
[05:40] Uki
    K-Kohane, let's run!
[05:41] Kohane
    Perfect timing!
[05:43] Kohane
    I'm gonna go invite Ghostie, too!
[05:45] Uki
    Not that way!
[05:48] Hizume
    Actually, if one of our members
    could play the piano,
[05:51] Hizume
    we could ask them to play
    some songs during practice.
[05:54] Uki
    That's not it, either!
[05:57] Kohane
    Hello!
[05:58] Uki
    Kohane...
[06:01] Kohane
    Huh? Are you by yourself?
[06:03] Kotetsu
    Y-Yes...
[06:04] Uki
    Wait, is she possessed?
[06:06] ---
    Is that what's going on?
[06:08] Hizume
    Do you actually want the ghost to be here?
[06:13] Kotetsu
    Ghost?
[06:15] Kotetsu
    That's what people have been saying?
[06:17] Hizume
    So you were the piano ghost, Tatejima-san.
[06:21] Kotetsu
    Yes.
[06:22] Kotetsu
    I can't play too loudly at home,
[06:25] ---
    so when I mentioned it
    was hard to practice,
[06:27] Kotetsu
    my teacher said I could use this room.
[06:30] Uki
    But people were saying they could
    hear the piano at night...
[06:33] Kotetsu
    I-I haven't been here at night, though.
[06:37] Hizume
    I'm assuming the rumors
    got a bit exaggerated.
[06:40] Kotetsu
    Yeah... I do play a bit after school, but...
[06:43] Kohane
    Um—
[06:43] Uki
    Oh!
[06:45] Uki
    So it wasn't true after all!
[06:48] Hizume
    You seem happy, Sawatari-san.
[06:50] Kohane
    I see. Anyway, we were wondering if you'd
    be interested in a trial membership.
[06:54] Uki
    That was possibly the worst
    segue I've ever heard.
[06:57] Kotetsu
    Huh? Trial membership? You mean
    with the cheer association?
[07:01] Kohane
    Yeah!
[07:02] Kohane
    If you're not confident enough to
    officially join, but have some interest,
[07:06] Kohane
    we wanted you to at least give it a shot!
[07:10] Kohane
    Cheerleading is a lot of fun!
[07:11] Kohane
    It's good exercise, and it cheers you up!
[07:14] Kotetsu
    Okay, sure.
[07:16] Uki
    That was super easy!
[07:18] Kotetsu
    I'll tell Kon-chan.
[07:21] Uki
    Er, no... This wasn't a message.
[07:25] Kohane
    Akitsune-san already turned us down.
[07:28] Kotetsu
    I-I see...
[07:30] Kotetsu
    Wait, who were you trying to recruit, then?
[07:33] Both
    Stare...
[07:36] Kotetsu
    Wait, me?! I-I can't!
[07:38] Kohane
    Instant rejection!
[07:39] Kotetsu
    I-I-I mean... Cheerleading is embarrassing!
SIGN    Embarrassing
[07:44] Kotetsu
    N-No, I mean...
[07:46] Kotetsu
    I'd be embarrassed to
    cheer in front of people!
[07:50] Kotetsu
    I feel like I'd end up cursing people
    rather than cheering them up.
[07:54] Uki
    Wait, did you just say "curse"?
[07:57] Hizume
    But...
[07:59] Hizume
    You play the piano, don't you?
[08:01] Hizume
    So aren't you accustomed to
    performing in front of people?
[08:04] Kotetsu
    I can't do that, either.
[08:06] Kotetsu
    I get really anxious,
[08:08] ---
    so when I play in front of people,
    I lose my composure...
[08:13] Kotetsu
    So... I'm sorry!
[08:18] Kohane
    Aw, that's too bad.
[08:20] Hizume
    Hatoya-san, I'm surprised
    you backed down so easily.
[08:24] Uki
    Yeah! You were annoyingly
    persistent with me!
[08:27] Kohane
    W-Well, that's because we've
    been friends forever,
[08:31] Kohane
    so you're special.
[08:33] Kohane
    Special... Special... Special...
[08:36] Uki
    Oh, you! I'm that special, eh?
SIGN    A/V Room
[08:44] Hizume
    It's unfortunate about Tatejima-san,
[08:46] ---
    but we need to start thinking about
    cheering for the basketball team.
[08:49] Kohane
    Oh, you're right!
[08:51] Hizume
    This time, let's concentrate on just
    cheering and not worry about any stunts.
[08:56] Hizume
    We haven't practiced enough, anyway.
[08:57] Uki
    But, I mean...
[09:00] Uki
    We can't even practice stunts
    in this room, anyway.
[09:03] Uki
    The ceiling's too low.
[09:04] Kohane
    I wouldn't say it's impossible.
    Let's give it a shot!
[09:07] Uki
    And go!
[09:12] Hizume
    This is what will happen.
[09:14] Uki
    Then this room will end up cursed, too!
[09:17] Hizume
    We should be able to practice and learn
    a cheer routine if we start now,
[09:21] Hizume
    but the problem is acquiring our uniforms.
[09:24] Hizume
    Well, if we just wore
    T-shirts and pleated skirts,
[09:27] ---
    it might look like uniforms...
[09:29] Uki
    No!
[09:36] Kohane
    We're going to be cheering in
    front of a crowd for the first time,
[09:39] Kohane
    so I'd like to at least have uniforms.
[09:41] Hizume
    Well, here's an online retailer.
    This is what they'd cost.
[09:49] Kohane
    Th-That's pretty, uh...
[09:52] Uki
    That's much higher than I expected...
[09:56] Hizume
    Um...
[09:58] Hizume
    If you think it'll be difficult
    for you to prepare uniforms...
[10:01] Hizume
    If you don't mind, I'll bring
    my uniforms from middle school.
[10:04] Hizume
    The colors and designs won't match, but...
[10:07] Kohane
    No!
[10:08] Kohane
    We should all match!
[10:10] Kohane
    I appreciate the offer, though.
[10:12] Uki
    Yeah. I mean, we're a team.
[10:15] Hizume
    I-I see...
[10:17] Kohane
    Besides, if we can't buy the
    cuckoo, we shall make one!
[10:21] Hizume
    We're making a bird?!
[10:22] Uki
    Let's just go with "if we can't
    buy uniforms, let's make them."
[10:26] Uki
    Arima-san actually took you seriously.
[10:28] Hizume
    I see... Homemade...
[10:30] Uki
    We still have some time
    before the practice match.
[10:33] Kohane
    I did a bit of searching,
[10:35] ---
    and there were some sites
    that had some patterns.
[10:37] Kohane
    Like this one.
[10:40] Hizume
    I see...
[10:41] Hizume
    Now all we need is a sewing machine.
[10:44] Hizume
    Can either of you sew?
[10:49] Kohane
    I can't believe my flawless
    plan had a flaw in it!
[10:52] Kohane
    I've only ever made an
    apron in home ec before.
[10:55] Uki
    Likewise.
[10:56] Uki
    I guess sewing them ourselves
    would be a bit hard.
[10:59] Hizume
    No, it'll be fine.
[11:01] Hizume
    They didn't even have sewing machines
    years ago, so if we consider that...
[11:04] Uki
    I mean, you're not wrong...
[11:06] Hizume
    Well, even with light...
[11:08] Hizume
    We only need candles!
[11:09] Uki
    We don't need to abandon
    modern civilization that much!
[11:13] Kohane
    Okay, let's try making patterns ourselves
[11:16] ---
    by looking at the samples on the internet.
[11:20] Hizume
    But to think that the ghost
    was actually Tatejima-san...
[11:24] Kohane
    Aren't you glad there wasn't
    actually a ghost, Uki?
[11:28] Uki
    I-I-It's not like I can't handle ghosts...
[11:31] Uki
    As a matter of fact, I have no interest...
[11:34] Uki
    in ghosts!
[11:38] Hizume
    You actually like them, don't you?
SIGN    Kaminoki Municipal Gymnasium
[11:47] Kohane
    Today's finally the day!
[11:49] Uki
    I'm so nervous, my stomach's starting to hurt.
[11:52] Hizume
    We'll be fine, as long as we
    do exactly what we practiced.
[11:54] Hizume
    Let's relax.
[11:56] Kohane
    Yeah, yeah! Relax, relax!
[11:59] Uki
    I think you actually need to be
    a bit more nervous, Kohane.
[12:02] Girls
    One, two, three, four,
    five, six, seven, eight.

    Looks like the basketball
    team is already warming up.

    third-years are staring at us.
SIGN    Girls' Changing Room
[12:37] Kohane
    Thank goodness we finished
    the uniforms in time!
[12:39] Hizume
    By the way, Hatoya-san,
    why did you bring this big bag?
[12:44] Kohane
    Well, you see...
[12:47] Kohane
    Ta-da!
[12:49] Kohane
    I made lots!
[12:52] Hizume
    Are these for the crowd?
[12:55] Kohane
    Yup!
[12:56] Kohane
    I thought they would make
    the cheers even better!
[13:01] Uki
    Wow...
[13:04] Hizume
    I can tell exactly what
    order you made them in.
[13:06] Uki
    Yeah, so can I...
[13:08] Uki
    We would've helped if you'd asked.
[13:10] Kohane
    I thought about it at the last minute.
[13:13] Kohane
    Oh, I gave Tatejima-san hers at school.
[13:18] (Flashback) Kotetsu
    Are you sure I can have these?
[13:20] (Flashback) Kohane
    Yeah! You should come cheer
    them on if you can, too.
[13:24] Hizume
    I made a call chart.
[13:28] Hizume
    It lists all the calls we'll be doing today.
[13:31] Hizume
    I followed Sawatari-san's advice.
[13:33] Hizume
    Right?
[13:35] Hizume
    Sawatari-san?
[13:36] Uki
    Huh? Oh, sorry...
[13:41] Kohane
    I just got a really good idea!
[13:42] Kohane
    Hey, how about if we do this?
[13:43] Hizume
    I'm not exactly sure why, but
    I have a bad feeling about this...
[13:54] Kotetsu
    Am I allowed to come in?
[13:57] Crowd
    They asked that we pass these around.
[13:59] Crowd
    Wow, pom poms?
[14:00] Crowd
    Are we supposed to cheer with these?
[14:06] Kotetsu
    It's Hatoya-san and the others.
[14:09] Kotetsu
    Their uniforms are so cute!
[14:11] Kotetsu
    Maybe I do want to try one on...

[14:47] Kotetsu
    Nope! I definitely wouldn't
    be able to do that...

    Looks like our introductions went well!
[14:54] Hizume
    Though that's not at all how I imagined them...
[14:57] Uki
    Good idea, my ass!
[14:59] Uki
    That was so embarrassing...

    But we livened up the crowd!

    You mean we scared them!

    Maybe!

    This is exactly when we're supposed
    to shout and liven things up!
[17:07] Kohane
    Um...

    How would I say "moriage" in English?
[17:12] Kohane
    Mori! Age! Yo!
[17:15] Uki
    "Yo"?!

[18:52] Girl
    They turned it around!
[18:53] Kana
    Yay!
[18:56] Kana
    I got totally caught up
    before I realized it...
[18:59] Kohane
    Basketball-senpai!

    Thanks for all you did today.
[19:34] Uki
    No, thank you!
[19:35] Hizume
    Thank you very much.
[19:37] ---
    Oh, no, really.
[19:40] Basket
    Seriously, good work.
[19:41] Uki
    Yeah, uh... Don't worry about her.
[19:45] Basket
    But I have to admit,
    cheerleading's pretty great.
[19:47] Basket
    You guys gave us the push we needed.
[19:49] Basket
    Thanks.
[19:51] Kohane
    No, no, thank you!
[19:54] Uki
    Her cheer power was
    immediately replenished.
[19:58] Kotetsu
    U-Um...
[20:00] Kohane
    Oh, Tatejima-san!
[20:02] Basket
    Anyway, thanks again, you guys.
[20:05] All
    Great work!
[20:07] Kohane
    Tatejima-san, did you see us?
[20:09] Kotetsu
    Yeah!
[20:11] Kotetsu
    Cheer's amazing.
[20:13] Kotetsu
    Though I don't think I'd
    ever be able to do it.
[20:18] Kotetsu
    I still don't think I can be as sparkly
    as they are when they're cheering.
[20:31] Kotetsu
    But maybe together...
[20:39] Kotetsu
    But I still want to try
    cheerleading with you!
[20:46] Kohane
    You'll be fine, Tatejima-san!
[20:48] Kohane
    Here's the club application!
[20:50] Uki
    Where were you hiding that?!

[20:54] Kotetsu
    Huh? M-My name?
[20:56] Kohane
    Put anything. You could use
    a pen name or even a fake one!
[20:59] Hizume
    No, she can't.

[21:01] Kohane
    Tatejima Kotetsu-chan...
[21:04] Kohane
    You sound so strong!
[21:05] Hizume
    There's a famous sword that shares your name.
[21:07] Hizume
    The one that the commander
    of the Shinsengumi used...
[21:12] Kotetsu
    I don't really like it.
[21:14] Kotetsu
    That name is way stronger than I am,
[21:16] Kotetsu
    and it's not even a girl's name.
[21:19] Uki
    W-Well, I mean, it sounds cool!
[21:22] Hizume
    I like it.
[21:23] Kohane
    It sounds delicious!
[21:25] Kotetsu
    Are they trying to cheer me up?
SIGN    Kaminoki Municipal Gymnasium
[21:31] Uki
    What the heck was that?
[21:33] Kohane
    It was so much fun!
[21:35] Kotetsu
    To be honest, I'm still not very confident.
[21:39] Kotetsu
    But I think I might just make it, as long
    as I'm with Hatoya-san and the others.
[21:43] Kohane
    Now if we can just get one more person
    to join, we'll be promoted to a club!
[21:47] Kohane
    Just a little more!
[21:48] Kotetsu
    Yes. I'll do whatever I can to help.

[23:28] Kotetsu
    Can I really do this?
[23:30] Hizume
    I'll teach you everything you need to know.
[23:32] Kotetsu
    I'm happy, nervous, and excited!
