***SIGN*** A gift for the animals!
**[00:05] Announcer**
* The cold-loving animals at the zoo*
* have been given another gift of ice.*
**[00:08] Kanata**
Morning.
**[00:10] Mom**
Morning.
**[00:11] Announcer**
* The polar bears received a 60kg block of ice*
* filled with their favorite fruits.*
**[00:11] Mom**
I was about to go wake you up.
**[00:14] Kanata**
I'm so sleepy.
**[00:16] Mom**
You had a long day.
**[00:17] Mom**
I'm sure you're still tired.
**[00:17] Announcer**
* The polar bear cub twins Ichi and Sachi,*
* born just last year, can be seen licking away.*
**[00:20] Kanata**
Probably.
**[00:25] Announcer**
* Their mother, Marina, is enjoying a*
* respite with some of the fruit.*
**[00:28] Kanata**
Mom, is this soy sauce?
**[00:31] Mom**
Huh?
**[00:32] Mom**
Of course it is.
**[00:33] Announcer**
* Ice was also given to the monkeys,*
* the brown bears, and the penguins.*
**[00:34] Mom**
Oh, right, you like Worcestershire
sauce on your fried eggs.
**[00:39] Announcer**
* Next, a passionate cheer battle erupted during*
* a classic high school baseball matchup.*
**[00:39] Kanata**
Soy sauce isn't bad, either, though.
***SIGN*** Classic Matchup: Takanosaki vs Omaebashi
***SIGN*** Cheers erupted from the bleachers as the game heated up
**[00:45] Announcer**
*The teams were Takanosaki and Omaebashi.*
**[00:49] Announcer**
* A group of fans wore matching outfits*
* and really got the crowd worked up!*
***SIGN*** Classic Matchup: Takanosaki vs Omaebashi
***SIGN*** Some fans wore matching outfits, matching the game's intensity
**[00:54] Announcer**
*Now for our next story...*
**[00:56] Anna**
Morning, Nodoka's Mom!
**[00:58] Nodoka's Mom**
Morning.
**[00:59] Nodoka's Mom**
The usual?
**[01:00] Anna**
The usual!
**[01:04] Anna**
Bom dia, Nodoka!
**[01:08] Nodoka**
So sleepy...
**[01:09] Anna**
Well, you gotta get *up*!
**[01:14] Announcer**
* Next, a passionate cheer battle erupted during*
* a classic high school baseball matchup.*
**[01:21] Announcer**
*The teams were...*
**[01:25] Anna**
It's PoMPoMs's TV debut!

What a busy summer
**[03:19] Gymnastics Member A**
Break time.
**[03:20] Gymnastics Member A**
Tanizaki-san, have a towel.
**[03:22] Shion**
Thanks.
**[03:24] Volleyball Member A**
Tanizaki-san.
**[03:26] Volleyball Member A**
I saw the news this morning.
**[03:28] Volleyball Member A**
I felt like you were cheering for me,
even though I was just watching.
**[03:32] Volleyball Member B**
What would it take for you to cheer for me?
**[03:35] Volleyball Member A**
I have a piano competition
at the end of the week.
**[03:37] Volleyball Member A**
Please cheer for me!
**[03:39] Shion**
Hold on...
**[03:41] Shion**
Could you please each...
**[03:44] Volleyball Member A**
Each of us?
**[03:45] Volleyball Member B**
Order-made cheer for *each* of us?!
**[03:47] Volleyball Member A**
Could this really be a thing?!
**[04:03] Shion**
Good day, Sister.
**[04:05] Sister**
Good day.
**[04:06] Sister**
I saw your cheer yesterday on TV.
**[04:09] Shion**
I didn't receive permission from the school...
**[04:12] Sister**
You don't need the school's
permission to support someone.
**[04:17] Sister**
I was moved, seeing you
and your team cheer so earnestly.
**[04:24] Shion**
Thank you.
**[04:30] Shion**
Having the sister praise me made my day.
**[04:34] Shion**
Although I was a little taken aback
when the volleyball girls surrounded me.
**[04:39] Suzuha**
I don't like sweets.
**[04:41] Suzuha**
You can have mine, Shi-chan.
**[04:42] Shion**
Thanks.
**[04:44] Anna**
It's tough being famous, huh?
**[04:47] Anna**
Not that it's more than
a small taste of stardom.
**[04:49] Nodoka**
My mom and grandma
were happy to see me on TV, too.
**[04:53] Kanata**
It seems like the people watching
really felt us rooting for them.
**[04:58] Kanata**
I'm glad we did it.
**[05:00] Megumi**
Is that so?
**[05:02] Megumi**
Thanks.
**[05:03] Megumi**
I guess today's snack is
kind of like a gift to ourselves.
**[05:06] Shion**
Although the usual yokans are also nice.
**[05:08] Kanata**
Handmade!
**[05:11] Kanata**
From the temple supporters?
**[05:12] Megumi**
Yep.
**[05:13] Shion**
Strawberry!
**[05:14] Nodoka**
I'll enjoy it, thank you.
**[05:27] Shion**
What is it?
**[05:28] Anna**
We've got a *ton* of DMs!
**[05:31] Megumi**
What are you talking about?
**[05:32] Anna**
Look at this! Holy!
***SIGN*** Shouji
***SIGN*** Good work, PoMPoMs!
I'm an old lady approaching my 70th, and...
***SIGN*** Momomo
***SIGN*** I saw you on TV! It was super cute, so I looked
you up online and ended up here.
***SIGN*** hono
***SIGN*** Your cheer was amazing! I'd love for you to come
cheer for my daughter who's learning to swim
**[05:39] Kanata**
Are these all...
**[05:40] Anna**
They're all messaging us with cheer requests!
**[05:43] Kanata**
I can't believe it.
**[05:44] Megumi**
I know.
**[05:45] Shion**
Wow.
**[05:48] Nodoka**
86 messages?!
**[05:53] Kanata**
All these people are in need of our cheer!
**[05:58] Shion**
Our cheer yesterday
must have really touched people.
**[06:02] Megumi**
It's going to be busy, though.
**[06:04] Nodoka**
*Too* busy!
**[06:06] Anna**
We've gotta do it!
**[06:07] Kanata**
Yeah!
**[06:09] Shion**
Hey, this one's cute.
**[06:11] Shion**
They want us to cheer for them so they can
learn to use their eyedrops on their own.
***SIGN*** Haruka
***SIGN*** I'm scared of using my eye drops
and I want help! And I want to learn
to do it on my own!
**[06:15] Suzuha**
That's cute.
**[06:16] Nodoka**
Sounds like Anna-chan.
**[06:17] Megumi**
Oh, really?
**[06:18] Kanata**
Do you need us to cheer for you?
**[06:20] Anna**
I can do it myself!
**[06:22] Nodoka**
"Fighting the Lord of the Lake"?
***SIGN*** I am contacting you about your
cheer service.
Every year, I wage war against
the Lord of the Lake, but this year
I want to fish him up for sure!
I was hoping to recruit a cheer
from PomPoms.
Hoping to hear from you.
***SIGN*** Mattsun
**[06:26] Kanata**
Oh yeah, apparently one of
the temple supporters called.
**[06:29] Megumi**
So they were asking for *us*!
**[06:31] Anna**
Keep it coming!
**[06:33] Nodoka**
Actually, I had a request
from the shopping district, too.
**[06:35] Anna**
You could have mentioned that!
**[06:37] Nodoka**
They need support cleaning up a storehouse
they haven't used in a long time.
**[06:40] Kanata**
Let's clean up!
**[06:41] Megumi**
They did help us out at
the Takasaki Central Ginza Carnival.
**[06:45] Anna**
I know!
**[06:48] Shion**
Suzu-chan, what have you been looking at?
**[06:52] Suzuha**
An interview request.
***SIGN*** Dear PoMPoMs,
Pardon my DM.
My name is Sato, of the TV Numata show Numata News Local Participation
Info Corner. We're contacting you
with a request...
**[07:02] All**
This is amazing!
***SIGN*** Participation Marathon
***SIGN*** We cheered to help catch the Lord of the Lake!
***SIGN*** Kasumi
***SIGN*** Cute!
***SIGN*** hana
***SIGN*** You really do bring me life!
***SIGN*** Appreciating the frequent updates
***SIGN*** Ushigome
***SIGN*** That fish though lol
***SIGN*** Saaya
***SIGN*** Awesome shot! You look great!
**[07:52] Miyabi**
The composition and choreography is nice.
**[07:55] Hiiragi**
They got interviewed the other day.
**[07:56] Hana**
For what?
**[07:57] Hiiragi**
TV.
**[07:58] Hiiragi**
Someone from Kanata-chan's class
said so, so I'm sure it's true.
**[08:02] Hiiragi**
Wanna start a channel?
**[08:04] Hiiragi**
The Hana-Hii channel.
**[08:05] Hana**
Why am *I* part of this?
**[08:07] Miyabi**
Our club doesn't allow social media.
**[08:09] Hiiragi**
Huh? Do videos count as social media?
**[08:12] Noichigo**
Break time's over!
**[08:15] Miyabi**
There's another three seconds!
**[08:17] Noichigo**
Three, two, one.
**[08:19] Noichigo**
All gather!
**[08:20] Hana**
Yes!
**[08:21] Miyabi**
You sure are fired up.
**[08:25] Noichigo**
Don't get lazy just because it's practice.
**[08:27] Noichigo**
Let's do this!
**[08:28] All**
Yes!
**[08:31] Megumi**
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
**[08:35] Megumi**
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
**[08:43] Megumi**
Okay, all done!
**[08:45] Anna**
I'm *dying*.
**[08:47] Nodoka**
Wanna take a break?
**[08:48] Anna**
Yeah.
**[08:49] Shion**
You're looking good, Kanata-chan.
**[08:51] Shion**
I thought so, too.
**[08:54] Kanata**
How was it?
**[08:56] Megumi**
You looked good individually,
but the formation was a bit messy.
**[09:00] Kanata**
Yeah?
**[09:02] Suzuha**
I want a little more time to move to the edge.
**[09:05] Anna**
Okay.
**[09:07] Anna**
I'll try to make some time.
**[09:09] Nodoka**
You should take a break.
**[09:11] Nodoka**
You've been up late every night making the music.
**[09:14] Anna**
Sin problema!
**[09:16] Anna**
It's okay!
**[09:17] Anna**
We can't do cheer without the music, after all.
**[09:19] Nodoka**
It's *not* okay!
**[09:20] Nodoka**
You were falling asleep
as you were walking today.
**[09:22] Nodoka**
We're getting too many requests!
**[09:24] Anna**
Shion, how're the lyrics coming?
**[09:26] Shion**
Oh, sorry, I'm still working on
that last set...
**[09:30] Shion**
I want to ask our client about it again,
but we need to hurry on the music, too.
**[09:37] Suzuha**
Shi-chan, you're pushing yourself too hard.
**[09:39] Nodoka**
We're *all* overworked!
**[09:43] Megumi**
Should we turn some down?
**[09:45] Megumi**
Not all of them, of course.
**[09:48] Megumi**
But if we don't, we'll collapse.
**[09:54] Megumi**
For example, what if we don't do
the ones where we're basically helpers?
**[10:02] Nodoka**
Y-You're right.
**[10:05] Nodoka**
Like...
**[10:07] Nodoka**
Here.
**[10:08] Nodoka**
Helping the temple
supporter replace light bulbs...
**[10:13] Nodoka**
It's already done.
**[10:14] Megumi**
Kanata handled that one.
**[10:15] Kanata**
It was in return for the strawberry cake.
**[10:17] Nodoka**
Thank you for the cake.
**[10:18] Anna**
"Helping with yardwork."
**[10:20] Shion**
There's another one asking us
to go to the beach with them.
**[10:24] Suzuha**
They can go by themselves.
**[10:27] Kanata**
We *can't* turn them down.
**[10:30] Kanata**
There's times when the simple
things are actually hard, right?
**[10:34] Kanata**
I had a hard time asking for
help about not being able to fly.
**[10:39] Kanata**
But everyone cheered me on and...
**[10:43] Kanata**
The people DMing us might be the same way.
**[10:48] Kanata**
So I want to answer
all the requests we're getting.
**[10:54] Shion**
Kanata-chan...
**[10:57] Anna**
I always feel like I can power through
anything when people cheer me on, too.
**[11:02] Megumi**
What if we change how we support them, then?
**[11:05] Megumi**
We all still cheer together, but we
try to handle them individually, too.
**[11:10] Nodoka**
Doing it on our own?
**[11:12] Shion**
Maybe we form a few smaller teams?
**[11:14] Anna**
PoMPoMs isn't PoMPoMs if we aren't together!
**[11:17] Nodoka**
True...
**[11:22] Suzuha**
It's raining.
**[11:23] Anna**
I left my phone outside!
**[11:25] Nodoka**
It's pouring!
**[11:26] Anna**
So suddenly?!
**[11:27] Kanata**
The bike!
**[11:28] Shion**
Kanata-chan!

Tea, Shi-chan.
**[12:00] Shion**
Thanks.
**[12:02] Anna**
Suzuha, where's *mine*?
**[12:06] Shion**
You already have water.
**[12:08] Megumi**
So, about our upcoming meetings...
**[12:10] Megumi**
I'll go visit the clients in town.
**[12:12] Megumi**
Could I ask someone to go
to the more remote areas?
**[12:15] Nodoka**
How about Kanata-chan and me, then?
**[12:17] Nodoka**
Can you make it?
**[12:17] Kanata**
Sure.
**[12:20] Anna**
My brain's a *mess*!
**[12:24] Anna**
Nodoka...
**[12:25] Anna**
How many more songs do I need to make?
**[12:29] Nodoka**
Um...
**[12:36] Nodoka**
This is too many, even if I help out.
**[12:40] Nodoka**
There's no way we're going to do all of it.
**[12:42] Anna**
Even with you helping me?
**[12:44] Nodoka**
You say that, but you were sleeping
against a utility pole this morning!
**[12:48] Nodoka**
You're going to collapse if you keep this up!
**[12:52] Shion**
I've been thinking...
**[12:54] Shion**
Is this really how our cheer should be?
**[12:58] Shion**
We're so overwhelmed
just getting through all our requests.
**[13:03] Shion**
I don't know if we're
actually making an impact.
**[13:14] Nodoka**
She's asleep.
**[13:16] Shion**
Let's turn down some clients.
**[13:20] Suzuha**
We'll have to decide what we aren't doing.
**[13:22] Suzuha**
Otherwise, we're going to fall apart.
**[13:25] Megumi**
Kanata, it's what we have to do if we're
going to keep cheering for more people.
**[13:32] Kanata**
Yeah...
**[13:35] Kanata**
Okay.
**[13:37] Shion**
How will we decide?
**[13:38] Suzuha**
I'll decide.
**[13:40] Nodoka**
We should decide together!
**[13:42] Suzuha**
I'm good at this kind of thing.
**[13:44] Suzuha**
Let's turn down anything that we won't have
the music or choreography ready for
**[13:48] Suzuha**
and any that don't have a clear request.
**[13:50] Suzuha**
This one, this one, this one...
**[13:52] Nodoka**
That one too?
**[13:54] Suzuha**
*Especially* the vague ones.
**[13:56] Suzuha**
We have to reject them properly.
**[14:05] Megumi**
That's a lot less.
**[14:11] Megumi**
It's not something you need
to be depressed about, Kanata.
**[14:16] Megumi**
I wish I could have done something to help.
**[14:20] Kanata**
But Megu, you take videos, come up
with choreography and structure...
**[14:24] Kanata**
You do plenty for us.
**[14:26] Megumi**
But—
**[14:27] Kanata**
It's fine.
**[14:28] Kanata**
I'll pick up more of the slack.
**[14:30] Kanata**
Okay?
**[14:45] Kanata**
Okay.
**[14:49] Woman**
Coming.
**[14:51] Kanata**
PoMPoMs cheer delivery!
**[14:53] Woman**
I already received an apology email.
**[14:57] Kanata**
We've received too many requests
to respond to all of them.
**[14:59] Kanata**
Allow me to apologize for
having to turn down yours.
**[15:03] Kanata**
I'm sorry!
**[15:04] Woman**
Uh-huh...
**[15:06] Kanata**
It's just me here, but I'll cheer for you!
**[16:21] Kanata**
So tired...
**[16:25] Kanata**
Megu has physical therapy, doesn't she?
**[16:28] Kanata**
I wonder if she's home yet.
**[16:32] Kanata**
Hello.
**[16:47] Kanata**
Megu!
**[16:49] Megumi**
Kanata, what's wrong?
**[16:51] Kanata**
Megu!
**[16:58] Kanata**
Be careful.
**[17:00] Kanata**
Don't push yourself.
**[17:02] Megumi**
Therapy isn't enough.
**[17:05] Megumi**
I need to put in some work at home,
or I'll never get better.
**[17:09] Kanata**
That's not true.
**[17:10] Kanata**
You're gradually getting your mobility back.
**[17:13] Megumi**
Nothing's going to get done at this rate!
**[17:18] Megumi**
I know how hard everyone's working.
**[17:21] Megumi**
I need to do what I can.
**[17:24] Megumi**
I'm the only one who isn't doing anything.
**[17:28] Kanata**
That's not true!
**[17:30] Megumi**
It *is* true.
**[17:32] Megumi**
I haven't cheered for anyone.
**[17:34] Kanata**
That's *not true*!
**[17:36] Kanata**
We're only able to keep going
because we have you, Megu.
**[17:38] Kanata**
We even won the Nationals
together in middle school!
**[17:41] Megumi**
And I wasn't there!
**[17:43] Megumi**
I was in a hospital bed!
**[18:23] Kanata**
I'm off.

**[18:50] Shion**
I think we're doing well, aren't we?
**[18:51] Nodoka**
Cutting down on our requests
was the right move.
**[18:54] Anna**
I think I can upload
some report videos now, too.
**[18:57] Shion**
We haven't been uploading lately.
**[18:58] Anna**
I haven't even checked the channel lately.
**[19:01] Shion**
You haven't?
**[19:02] Nodoka**
We haven't had any time.
**[19:04] Anna**
Obviously, but I still feel bad
for our viewers.
**[19:07] Anna**
I can finally take a look, though!
**[19:11] Suzuha**
Your last moves were stiff, Kanata.
**[19:14] Shion**
You were fine.
**[19:16] Shion**
You landed nicely, too.
**[19:18] Shion**
Right, Megumi-chan?
**[19:23] Shion**
Is it just me, or are Kanata-chan
and Megumi-chan a bit odd today?
**[19:27] Suzuha**
They've been that way for a while now.
***SIGN*** Nanana

Why not quit if you don't actually care?
**[19:57] Shion**
Why is this happening?
**[19:59] Nodoka**
We're working so hard...
**[20:02] Shion**
Kanata-chan, are you all right?
**[20:05] Anna**
They were so positive
until just a little while ago!
**[20:07] Anna**
It's this!

You can't fly when you're with the club,
but you have no trouble flying when it's for fun, huh?

"You can't fly when you're with the club,

flying when it's for fun, huh?"
**[20:14] Anna**
How do they know about our school club?
**[20:18] Anna**
Wait...
**[20:20] Anna**
The cheer club?
**[20:22] Kanata**
No one would do that!
**[20:28] Kanata**
We aren't allowed to be on social media...
**[20:39] Shion**
Let's practice.
**[20:40] Shion**
People are waiting for us to support them.

Kanata-chan.
**[20:56] Nodoka**
Kanata-chan, wanna come down?
**[21:00] Nodoka**
Did we time the lift wrong?
**[21:02] Kanata**
No.
**[21:04] Suzuha**
You should take a week off.
**[21:06] Kanata**
No!
**[21:07] Kanata**
We have to do stuff tomorrow, too!
**[21:08] Anna**
Tomorrow? No we don't.
**[21:12] Kanata**
Never mind.
**[21:15] Anna**
Were you going by yourself?
**[21:17] Anna**
Were you going around cheering and apologizing?
**[21:23] Anna**
No wonder everyone's pissed.
**[21:27] Anna**
Why did you do that behind our backs?
**[21:29] Anna**
We didn't want to refuse, either.
**[21:32] Anna**
This is what we decided to do so that we
could cheer for as many people as possible.
**[21:36] Suzuha**
There's no sense trying to do cheer
when we're so torn apart.
**[21:41] Anna**
Let's call it a day.
**[21:43] Nodoka**
Wait, let's hear what
Kanata-chan's thinking.
**[21:46] Anna**
She thought about it, and *this* was her answer.
**[21:50] Nodoka**
Megumi-chan...
