***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!"
