SIGN    Let's do our best together!
SIGN    Welcome to the Cheer Association!
SIGN    Cheer is fun!!
[00:15] Kohane
    Tatejima-san!
[00:16] Uki
    Welcome to the Cheer Association.
[00:18] Kotetsu
    W-Wow. You even have snacks.
[00:21] Kohane
    Today's your welcoming party, Tatejima-san.
[00:24] Kohane
    Please, have a seat!
[00:26] Kotetsu
    Wow, thank you so much.
[00:29] Kohane
    We're glad to have you.
[00:30] Kohane
    Can I call you Kotecchan from now on?
SIGN    Tatejima Kotetsu
[00:34] Kotetsu
    Please don't.
SIGN    She's brutally honest when she needs to be.
[00:37] Kohane
    Huh?
[00:38] Kohane
    What?
[00:39] Uki
    Why can't you figure out what just happened?
[00:43] Uki
    You're obviously responsible for it.
[00:46] Uki
    Remember? She doesn't like her name.
[00:48] Kohane
    Oh... Oh!
[00:50] Uki
    You forgot, didn't you?
[00:52] Kohane
    But it's such a cool name...
    And I wanna get closer to you.
[00:57] Kohane
    Can't I?
[00:58] Kotetsu
    But...
[00:59] Kohane
    I mean with, "Kotecchan," people
    might think your name is Koteko!
SIGN    Kotecchan
SIGN    Tatejima Koteko
[01:04] Kotetsu
    Koteko?!
[01:05] Uki
    You just made her name even worse!
SIGN    Anima Yell!
SIGN    A/V Room
[02:40] Kohane
    Hey, this is the perfect opportunity
    to call each other by our names.
SIGN    Tatejima-san
[02:44] Kohane
    "Ta-te-ji-ma-san" is really long.
[02:48] Kohane
    On the other hand, "Kotecchan"...
SIGN    Kotecchan
[02:52] Kohane
    Four... That's only four syllables, right?
[02:55] Hizume
    My apologies.
[02:57] Hizume
    I'm sorry I was late.
[02:58] Kohane
    Oh, hey, Hizume!
[03:01] Hizume
    H-H-Hatoya?
SIGN    Episode 5: Arm Motions With a Smile
[03:05] Hizume
    I see. So that's what's going on.
[03:08] Hizume
    Calling each other by our first names...
    I think that's a good idea.
[03:11] Uki
    Yeah, you might even start to like
[03:13] ---
    your own name more by
    hearing people use it for you.
[03:16] Uki
    Only if you're okay with it,
    though, Tatejima-san.
[03:20] Kohane
    Well, what do you say, Kotecchan?
[03:22] Kohane
    You can call me by my name, too!
[03:24] Kotetsu
    K-Kohane-chan...
[03:29] Kohane
    Kotecchan!
[03:30] Kotetsu
    K-Kohane-chan...
[03:32] Uki
    Grr...
[03:34] Kohane
    Well, now that Arima-san—
    I mean, Hizume is here,
[03:38] Kohane
    let's get started.
[03:40] Uki
    S-Sure!
[03:42] Kohane
    You can stay seated.
[03:46] Kohane
    Kotecchan, we'd like to officially
    welcome you to the Cheer Association!
[03:52] Kohane
    Here's a cheer to welcome you.
[03:53] Kohane
    Ready, and...
[03:55] Kohane
    Come and join us!
[04:03] Kotetsu
    I got to see the exact moment she changes!
[04:16] Kohane
    K! O! T! E! C?
[04:21] Kohane
    C? H? Um...
[04:23] ---
    A? K-Koteccha—
[04:26] Kotetsu
    Um, Kotetsu is just fine...
[04:32] Kotetsu
    I-I'd like to do something in return...
[04:44] Uki
    Where'd she go?
[04:45] Kohane
    Maybe she went to get something.
[04:48] Hizume
    I wonder why she opened the window.
[04:53] Kohane
    The piano.
[04:54] Uki
    So she went to the music room downstairs.
[05:08] Kohane
    Thanks! We heard it clearly!
[05:10] Kotetsu
    How am I supposed to do cheer like
    this? I need to build up stamina...
[05:16] Kohane
    We have a good training method.
[05:19] Kotetsu
    You mean like jogging?
[05:22] Kohane
    Making pom poms!
[05:23] Kotetsu
    Huh?
[05:28] Hizume
    But we'll need to make
    Kotetsu-san's uniform, too.
[05:32] Kohane
    Yeah! Who knows when we'll
    get our next request?
[05:34] Kohan
    We might even get flooded with them!
[05:36] Kotetsu
    Oh, so those uniforms were handmade.
[05:41] Uki
    We still have the pattern.
[05:42] Kotetsu
    I'm not that great at sewing...
    Do you think I can do it?
[05:50] Kohane
    Go, go, Kotecchan!
[05:53] Uki
    I've never seen a cheer push someone away...
[05:56] Kohane
    Just kidding. I'll help you out.
[05:58] Uki
    It'll be done in no time if we all pitch in.
[06:01] ---
    Th-Thank you.
[06:03] Hizume
    By the way, do you have a sewing machine?
[06:06] Kotetsu
    Oh, yeah. I have one I can use at home,
[06:09] ---
    so I'll probably make it there.
[06:10] Both
    What?!
[06:12] Kohane
    You're so modern!
[06:13] Uki
    So you're basically a pro!
[06:14] Kotetsu
    H-Huh?
[06:20] Hizume
    All right, this is our first
    practice with four members.
[06:23] Kotetsu
    Th-Thank you for having me.
[06:26] Kohane
    I know I mentioned this earlier,
[06:27] Kohane
    but the first thing you have to do
    when you join is make pom poms!
[06:30] Kohane
    It works out your body, too!
[06:33] Kohane
    You wouldn't believe how much of
    a workout making pom poms is!
[06:36] Kohane
    Hizume taught me how!
[06:38] Kotetsu
    J-Just by making pom poms?
[06:41] Uki
    Hey, let's move on...
SIGN    Wants to run away
[06:44] Kohane
    Who knows? It might become a
    tradition for the Cheer Club!
SIGN    Tradition
[06:49] Hizume
    Tradition...
[06:51] Uki
    Wait, you're actually happy about that?
[06:54] Hizume
    We can make pom poms another day.
[06:56] ---
    For now, let's start with our stretches.
[07:00] Hizume
    Let your body relax completely.
[07:02] Hizume
    We'll start with our necks.
[07:05] Hizume
    Kotetsu-san, just follow what we do.
[07:08] Kotetsu
    O-Okay...
[07:10] All
    One, two, three, four,
[07:13] All
    five, six, seven, eight.
[07:16] Hizume
    Next, from side to side.
[07:17] All
    One, two, three, four,
[07:20] All
    five, six, seven, eight.
[07:24] Hizume
    Next, our shoulders.
[07:26] All
    One, two, three, four,
[07:29] All
    five, six, seven, eight.
[07:33] Hizume
    Next, we'll be bending and
    stretching our knees.
[07:35] Hizume
    Keep your backs straight and
    lower your hips down.
[07:39] All
    One, two, three, four,
[07:43] All
    five, six, seven, eight.
[07:46] All
    One, two, three, four,
[07:46] Hizume
    Kotetsu-san, your back isn't straight.
[07:49] Kotetsu
    I-It's not? I'm sorry...
[07:49] All
    five, six, seven, eight.
[07:54] Kohane
    Are you okay?
[07:55] Hizume
    Y-Yeah, I'm fine.
[07:57] Kotetsu
    This is hard.
[07:59] Uki
    No one gets it on their first try.
[08:02] Hizume
    You say that, but you did all this
    pretty well on your first try.
[08:07] Uki
    Did I?
[08:08] Kotetsu
    You're amazing, Uki-chan.
[08:10] Kohane
    Uki's always been really good at sports.
[08:13] Kohane
    But what does that say about
    me when I started first?
[08:18] Uki
    But I could never outdo you
    in enthusiasm, Kohane!
[08:21] Kohane
    Y-You think so?!
[08:23] Kotetsu
    Uki-chan is amazing!
[08:28] All
    One, two, three, four,
[08:31] All
    five, six, seven, eight.
[08:35] All
    One, two, three, four,
[08:36] Hizume
    This is your first time, Kotetsu-san,
    so don't push yourself too hard.
[08:38] All
    five, six, seven, eight.
[08:41] Kotetsu
    You're all amazing...
[08:43] Kohane
    D-Don't worry, Kotecchan. You'll
     be as flexible as us soon enough.
[08:48] Uki
    You're not very convincing!
[08:52] Hizume
    Next, we'll work on our arm motions.
[08:53] Hizume
    Essentially, the poses we'll be
    doing with our pom poms.
[08:58] Hizume
    This is your first time doing
    this as well, Kotetsu-san,
[09:00] ---
    so let's try just watching in a mirror today.
[09:03] Kotetsu
    But should we be practicing at the entrance?
[09:07] Kohane
    If a teacher finds us,
[09:09] ---
    we can just say we were cheering
    for the people going home.
[09:13] Uki
    Why would you cheer for people going home?
[09:13] Kohane
    Hooray! Hooray! Go-ing home!
[09:17] Hizume
    There are several types of arm motions.
[09:20] Hizume
    This is a high V.
[09:22] Hizume
    Low V.
[09:24] Hizume
    The T.
[09:26] Hizume
    Half T.
[09:27] Hizume
    Daggers.
[09:29] Hizume
    Clasp.
[09:31] Hizume
    Clap.
[09:33] Hizume
    There are others, but it's probably
    difficult to learn all of them at once,
[09:36] Hizume
    so let's just do those today.
[09:38] Uki
    It's hard to get your
    hands in the right position.
[09:41] Uki
    You have to always keep
    the backs of your hands
[09:44] ---
    and your fingers level.
[09:47] Kotetsu
    Um... Like this?
[09:49] Hizume
    Your wrists are bent.
[09:53] Hizume
    When you bend your wrists,
    your pom poms will sag.
[09:58] Hizume
    If you keep your wrists straight,
    the pom poms will look more beautiful.
[10:02] Kotetsu
    I see.
[10:04] Hizume
    The most important thing is your smile.
[10:07] Hizume
    If you can't smile genuinely from the heart,
[10:11] Hizume
    you won't be able to cheer others on.
[10:14] Kotetsu
    Got it. Smiles are important.
[10:17] Hizume
    We'll be doing our calls in turn.
[10:21] Hizume
    First, high V!
[10:23] Uki
    Low V!
[10:27] Kotetsu
    Like this?
[10:28] Hizume
    Kotetsu-san, remember to smile.
[10:30] Kotetsu
    Oh, right...
[10:33] Uki
    One more time. Low V!
[10:36] Kohane
    Half T!
[10:42] Kotetsu
    Kohane-chan's smile is perfect!
[10:45] Kotetsu
    Maybe that's causing the contrast
    between her upper and lower body...
SIGN    A/V Room
[10:53] Hizume
    Next, let's do our arm motions
    along with some music.
[10:59] Hizume
    High V!
[11:01] Uki
    Clasp!
[11:03] Kohane
    Low V!
[11:04] Kotetsu
    Daggers!
[11:06] Kohane
    Great smile, Kotecchan!
[11:09] Kotetsu
    Y-You think so?
[11:11] Hizume
    Clap.
[11:12] Uki
    T!
[11:14] Kohane
    Low V!
[11:15] Kotetsu
    Half T.
[11:17] Kotetsu
    Hey, this is fun!
[11:20] Uki
    We're getting more in sync.
[11:21] Kotetsu
    Yeah.
[11:29] Kohane
    We didn't have any time to
    practice dancing today.
[11:31] Uki
    Well, the first half was
    the welcoming party.
[11:34] Kotetsu
    But it was pretty hard...
    Especially smiling all the time.
[11:38] Kotetsu
    I keep forgetting to smile because
    I'm concentrating on the poses.
[11:43] Hizume
    High V!
[11:45] Uki
    Clap!
[11:49] Kohane
    You're smiling, Kotecchan.
[11:52] Kotetsu
    Really?
[11:53] Uki
    Kohane, your call!
[11:55] Kohane
    Oh, right. Um... D-Daggers V!
[11:59] Kotetsu
    Huh?
[12:00] Uki
    That doesn't exist!
[12:02] Kohane
    Starting over! Low V!
[12:05] Hizume
    Clap.
[12:07] Uki
    Daggers.
[12:09] Kotetsu
    T!
[12:24] Kotetsu
    High V.
[12:26] Kotetsu
    Low V.
[12:35] Kon
    Hey, are you okay, Kotetsu?
[12:37] Kotetsu
    M-My muscles are sore since
    I started in my club yesterday...
[12:42] Kon
    Oh, right. You joined the Cheer Association.
[12:47] Uki
    Morning!
[12:49] Kohane
    What's wrong, Kotecchan?
[12:51] Kon
    Her muscles are sore.
[12:53] Uki
    Ah... Yeah, we were like that at first, too.
[12:57] Kohane
    Kotecchan! Remember to smile!
[13:00] Kotetsu
    Yeah, but...
[13:02] Kohane
    High V!
[13:06] Kohane
    T!
[13:08] Kohane
    Half T!
[13:10] Kon
    Wait, weren't your muscles sore?
[13:12] Uki
    They've already become conditioned reflexes...
[13:15] Kohane
    Daggers V!
[13:16] Kotetsu
    Huh?
[13:21] Kohane
    And now Kotecchan's
    uniform is complete, too.
[13:25] Kohane
    What's the matter?
[13:26] Kotetsu
    I-It's sort of embarrassing being
    the only one wearing a uniform...
[13:31] Kohane
    Oh, you're fine!
[13:33] Kohane
    Uki's even more embarrassed. She forgot we change school uniforms today.
[13:36] Uki
    Oh, shut up!
[13:38] Uki
    Hey, wait a sec. Kohane...
[13:42] Uki
    Did you come to school earlier
    on purpose because you knew?
[13:45] Kohane
    Of course not! I had class duties today,
    so I just came earlier for that.
[13:49] Uki
    O-Oh...
[13:51] Kohane
    But I was kinda hoping you'd forget.
[13:53] Uki
    You brat!
[13:54] Uki
    B-But maybe Hizume forgot, too...
[13:57] Hizume
    Sorry I'm late.
[14:02] Hizume
    What's the matter?
[14:04] Kohane
    Oh, we just noticed you remembered
    that we switch uniforms today.
[14:07] Kohane
    Uki completely forgot.
[14:10] Hizume
    Oh...
[14:11] Hizume
    I had actually forgotten this morning,
    but my brother reminded me...
[14:16] Hizume
    That it'd be a disservice
    to the world to lose even
[14:19] ---
    one day when high school
    girls get to wear less clothes.
[14:21] Uki
    You can always count on your older bro.
[14:23] Hizume
    Oh, I'm glad you're all here.
[14:26] Hizume
    We've actually gotten a request.
[14:29] Kohane
    A cheer request?
[14:30] Hizume
    We'll be hearing from them
    shortly in the home ec room.
[14:35] Kohane
    And it's today!
[14:37] Kohane
    Kotecchan is already in
    her uniform, so let's go!
[14:40] Kotetsu
    What?!
[14:42] Hizume
    No, wait...
SIGN    Home Ec Room
[14:51] Hizume
    I didn't say it was a cheer request.
[14:55] Hizume
    This is the president of the home ec club.
[14:58] Home ec
    Sorry to ask you to come here so suddenly.
[15:00] Home ec
    It's not exactly a cheer request,
    but we'd like your help.
[15:04] Home ec
    Does this not work unless it's
    specifically a cheer request?
[15:08] Uki
    Work?
[15:09] Home ec
    I heard when you make a request
    to the Cheer Association,
[15:12] ---
    any wish will come true,
[15:13] Home ec
    be it relationships,
[15:15] Home ec
    studying,
[15:16] Home ec
    or sports.
[15:18] Uki
    What the heck? Who did you hear that from?
[15:21] Kon
    Apparently Akitsune's friend
    had her wish come true.
[15:25] Kotetsu
    Friend?
[15:26] Uki
    Really, now?
[15:28] Kohane
    It doesn't exactly work like that,
    but we'd be happy to help out!
[15:33] Kotetsu
    But is there anything we can do to help?
SIGN    High School Cooking Contest
[15:37] Home ec
    We'd like some help in deciding the
    menu for the upcoming cooking contest.
[15:42] Home ec
    Just sample some dishes
    and give us your opinions.
[15:44] Hizume
    But it'll all be based on
    our personal opinions.
[15:49] ---
    Is that all right?
[15:51] Home ec
    Oh, no problem.
[15:53] ---
    There's four of you, so that's enough to
    cover the tastes of the rest of humanity.
[15:57] Uki
    Y-You think so?
[16:00] Home ec
    We have a variety of samples.
[16:03] Home ec
    The first dish is rolled
    cabbage in cream sauce.
[16:07] Kohane
    Wow, that looks really good!
[16:09] Home ec
    What do you think?
    Give us your honest opinions.
[16:13] Home ec
    Wait, already?
[16:15] Kotetsu
    Um... I'm sorry. May I go change?
[16:20] Kotetsu
    I feel so out of place.
[16:22] Kohane
    Oh, sorry, Kotecchan!
[16:26] Home ec
    The second dish is seafood doria.
[16:34] Kohane
    It's so good!
[16:37] Home ec
    Our third dish is gratin
    with seasonal vegetables.
[16:42] Kohane
    This is delicious, too!
[16:44] Home ec
    The fourth dish is our special original
    Kaminoki High School carbonara.
[16:50] Kohane
    Ooh, I love this, too!
[16:53] Kohane
    So good!
[16:55] Kohane
    Yummy!
[16:56] Kohane
    So good!
[16:59] Home ec
    Um... What's that thing you keep doing?
[17:02] Kohane
    This is a high V!
[17:05] Uki
    Don't worry about them.
    It's basically become a habit.
[17:13] Home ec
    Is there anything that you really like?
[17:17] Kohane
    Beans, I guess?
[17:18] Home ec
    Beans? Just beans?
[17:20] Home ec
    Hatoya-san likes beans...
[17:22] Home ec
    So does that mean Sawatari-san likes...
[17:29] Uki
    Could you not make fun of me?!
[17:33] Home ec
    Hatoya-san, have some red bean soup.
[17:37] Home ec
    Is that another arm motion?
[17:39] Hizume
    Yes. That's a clap.
[17:40] Uki
    Uh, I think she's just happy.
[17:43] Home ec
    Have some sesame soy spinach.
[17:47] Kotetsu
    Th-The spinach clearly hasn't
    been rinsed thoroughly...
[17:52] ---
    I need to tell her.
[17:54] Kotetsu
    U-Um... This spinach...
[17:57] Kon
    Oh, I made that!
[18:00] ---
    Well? How is it?
[18:03] Kotetsu
    It tastes very earthy.
[18:07] Uki
    You're not hiding your honesty very well...
[18:10] Kohane
    You're all so good at cooking.
[18:14] Home ec
    I know, right?
[18:16] Home ec
    Cooking is a lot of fun. It's also great
    training to become the perfect wife.
[18:21] Kohane
    Wife?
[18:22] Kotetsu
    Do you already have someone
    you're going to marry?
[18:31] Uki
    You're pretty frank, aren't you?
[18:33] Kotetsu
    It's more like whatever I'm thinking just
     comes naturally out of my mouth...
[18:38] Uki
    So you're probably like Kohane.
[18:40] Uki
    She says whatever's on her mind
[18:42] ---
    and forgets everything
    after taking three steps.
[18:44] Kohane
    Peep?!
[18:45] Kotetsu
    Hmm... I don't think we're the same.
[18:47] Uki
    See?! You're doing it again!
[18:52] Kohane
    This is so amazing. It must be
    a lot of fun cooking together.
[18:56] Home ec
    Oh, are you interested?
[18:58] Home ec
    You get better really fast
    when you cook every week.
[19:01] Kohane
    Wow, it's so nice that you can
    have fun learning something.
[19:09] Home ec
    What's wrong with Arima-san?
[19:11] ---
    Did she not like the dishes?
[19:13] Uki
    Oh, that face means she's thinking
    Kohane might quit cheerleading
[19:17] ---
    to join the home ec club.
[19:20] Kohane
    Hizume, Uki!
[19:22] Kohane
    Cooking seems like a lot of fun, so...
[19:26] Kohane
    Let's have our own training camp!
SIGN    Is the base
     white miso?
[19:28] Kohane
    They called you "the cast iron base," right?
[19:33] Hizume
    The training camp shouldn't
    be for cooking practice!
[19:36] Hizume
    And it's "the impregnable base."
[19:44] Home ec
    Okay, I think I managed to
     gather all your opinions.
[19:47] Home ec
    This is our way of saying thank you.
[19:52] Kohane
    Wait, wait! All we did was eat
    and give you our opinions!
[19:55] ---
    I'd feel bad eating this!
[19:57] Uki
    Kohane, you're drooling.
[20:00] Home ec
    You see, we received a request, too...
[20:03] Home ec
    From the basketball team.
[20:06] Home ec
    They wanted to thank you for
    cheering them on the other day,
[20:09] ---
    but they didn't think they could do much.
[20:13] Home ec
    Plus, their captain is really shy.
[20:15] Kohane
    Basketball-senpai...
[20:17] Hizume
    Thank us?
[20:19] Hizume
    All they'd have to do is
[20:21] ---
    add "The Cheer Association is amazing"
    to the end of every sentence.
[20:25] Uki
    Learn to catch a clue, Hizume!
[20:35] Home ec
    I think I can finally understand all that.
[20:38] Kotetsu
    I love this so much.
[20:40] Hizume
    Perhaps it's because you made
    this especially for us.
[20:44] Home ec
    I see...
[20:45] ---
    Maybe we can put our hearts
    into our cooking more when
[20:48] ---
    we know exactly who we're cooking for.
[20:51] Home ec
    Here you go, Arima-san.
[20:54] Uki
    Did you give this any thought at all?
[20:57] ---
    Just cutting it into pretty shapes
    doesn't make it better!
[21:00] Kohane
    More importantly, we have to
    go thank Basketball-senpai!
[21:05] Kohane
    But it'd be a waste not to eat everything!
[21:08] Kohane
    Thanks for the food! Okay!
[21:11] Home ec
    You don't have to wash the dishes, just go!
[21:17] Girl
    Go!
[21:18] Girl
    Captain!
[21:21] Basket
    Yes!
[21:22] Kohane
    Basketball-senpai!
[21:23] Kohane
    We heard your feelings loud and clear!
[21:28] Basket
    Wh-What are you talking about?
[21:29] Kohane
    Oh, come on, now.
[21:31] ---
    The president of the home ec
    club told us all about it.
[21:34] Basket
    I don't know what you're talking about.
[21:36] Kohane
    Okay, we're going to do a cheer
    to thank you for your thanks!
[21:40] Basket
    Listen to me!
[21:41] Kohane
    Please! Just let me express these
    overflowing emotions with a cheer!
[21:45] Basket
    But we're just doing a normal practice today.
[21:49] Uki
    Please, Basketball-senpai.
[21:52] Basket
    She's usually the one holding her back...
[21:55] ---
    They're that grateful?
[21:57] Uki
    I need to move around as soon as possible!
[21:59] ---
    If I don't, my body's gonna regret it!
[22:02] Basket
    How much did you eat?
[23:38] Kohane
    Next time: "Super Exciting
    Double Base Thigh Stand!"
