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

[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
    I appreciated you coming, even on your own
SIGN    YM
    She were so polite, coming all the way just to apologize.
[19:35] Anna
    On her own?
SIGN    Oo
    They came to cheer, but it wasn't quite what I expected
SIGN    LfgrP2sdw8i4
    All the choreography looked the same
[19:42] Anna
    Why are we getting flamed?!
SIGN    su
    They shouldn't put out ads and then turn them all down
    Focus on each one
SIGN    noOri 
    After all that about wanting to cheer... 
    All that talk about cheer was a scam
SIGN    swp56ascVQ0x
    I'm pretty sure the refusal email is a canned message
SIGN    AAA
    And they haven't been updating
SIGN    3y1lflwW6k
    Got drunk on fame, huh?
SIGN    Hypocrites
SIGN    Qw8eaTu3eq
    They're just clickbait
SIGN    Zzz
    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!
SIGN    a
    You can't fly when you're with the club, 
    but you have no trouble flying when it's for fun, huh?
[20:09] Anna
    "You can't fly when you're with the club,
[20:11] Anna
    but you have no trouble
    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.
SIGN    a
    You can't fly when you're with the club, 
    but you have no trouble flying when it's for fun, huh?
[20:53] Nodoka
    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...
