And go.
Yes.
Hang in there!
Do your best!
And go.
Only a little more.
Yes.
Let's go on calmly.
And go.
A little more.
Be careful! Don't dirty the team flag.
One step left!
One step left.
Yes.
We did it!
Leader, let me take it.
Yes, and up.
Okay.
Congratulations.
It's alright, take some rest.
Thank you very much.
It is all thanks to Senpai's cheering.
Thank you very much.
"The power of people" really exists, doesn't it?
Leader.
Yes.
These are the uniform we especially ordered for you.
Try it on.
Yes!
From now on
it's your turn to cheer.
Yes.
Sakuragi Koukou!
Cheer Song!
"Sakura of Tomorrow!"
The morning sky. Go!
The morning sky.
Undulating winds and clouds,
bursting flames,
the blood of young men.
There!
The unstoppable feelings
Yes!
flutter to the voiceless sky.
The blowing wind severely
jolts the windows.
There!
The far off ground.
Yes!
It's time to set off.
On the hill we arrive after a struggle
are the dazzling sakura trees.
With this the training camp is finished.
If you can convey your feelings, miracles can happen.
Believe in that and give your very best!
Yes!
Until you graduate always wear the uniform
and convey to the pupils the Cheer Team's enthusiasm and feelings!
Yes!
Huh?
Excuse me!
Yes.
"Always wear the uniform?"
"Always wear the uniform", means
always like that, Leader!
What?!
That means I can't wear my school uniform anymore?
Yes.
Oh, since when?
Since Golden Week.
I see...
What the?
Good morning.
Morning.
It looks like the training camp unmasked you.
Yes!
This week we received many mails too.
Thank you very much.
And next is-
The Cheer Team.
Who are you?
Hey, what are you doing-
The whole school, pupils, ladies and gentlemen!
The Cheer Team Leader has something important to say.
Yuki, the broadcast.
No, you can't do that!
Us,
we have decided to perform a tutorial
for the sake
of our Sakuragi Koukou's Baseball Team.
Don't use it as you please!
Why don't the whole school become one
and aim for Koshien?!
Yes!
Well then ladies and gentlemen,
open your school books on page 83
to the cheer song "Sakura of Tomorrow"!
I told you no one's expecting anything from the baseball team right now.
That's not true, the baseball team also-
What are you trying to do?
Do you want to embarrass us?
We're only fulfilling the Cheer Team's task.
Because the baseball team's victory or defeat is our responsibility.
We want to lead you to victory with the power of cheering.
Don't say stupid stuff!
We're the ones competing.
Cheering is just bustling around!
We don't need it, it's a bother.
Then
we'll make you understand the enthusiasm of the Cheer Team.
Fukuhara, one blow, one blow!
Fukuhara, concentrate!
Fure!
Begin.
Fure!
Sa-ku-ra-gi!
There!
Yes.
Fure, fure, Sakuragi!
What the hell is that?
We will now begin
the 19th National High School Baseball Tournament,
Tochigi Prefecture Primaries'
Cheer Team Leader Conference!
That is all!
I will finish confirming the rules!
The school which has any words
shall stand up to have their turn to speak.
Chairman!
Cheer Team Leader of Shiranui Gakuen!
The shameful sight of one cheer team
will hurt the reputation of all cheer teams.
During their training camp, Sakuragi Koukou-san
interrupted the training of our school's baseball team.
I want them to reflect their actions thoroughly.
Please wait a moment.
That's a false accusation.
According to rumors, Sakuragi Koukou-san's Team Leader
enrolled in the cheer team with the aim of cheering for player Oushima
who transferred to our school and she seems to have even given him a love letter.
Can she really go on if she has alleged divided loyalties?
To slander someone based on a groundless rumor,
is that really in the spirit of cheering?
I don't think the same way as the respected Shiranui Gakuen.
Excuse me, I will take back the previous remarks.
If nobody else has anything to say
we will now adjourn!
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
You were cool.
Ah...
Excuse me for just now,
It looks like we're coupled with Sakuragi Koukou-san in the finals.
We're waiting for you.
Yes!
Fure! The glow of the morning sky!
Undulating winds and clouds,
The blazing flames,
The passionate spirit of our youth.
Fure!
Congratulations.
It was quite a good game.
Congratulations to your breakthrough in your first match.
Please wait!
We don't have enough enthusiasm and fighting spirit.
Yes...
It's not enough!
Yes!
If we cheered the baseball team on,
will the baseball team cheer us on?
Thank you, I'm alright.
The cheering is helpful because you don't look for anything in return.
Only conveying your feelings
is our cheering spirit.
We want to go to Koshien with the power of cheering.
We beg of you!
We have a competition soon,
so I think I won't be able to come and cheer either.
If all the pupils don't become one,
we won't make it to Koshien.
Please help us somehow!
Hey Momoko, raise your head, please.
Hey, everyone is watching.
Hey, please.
Please accept this.
Okay, taking...
Say "oshinin".
Pray for Sakuragi Koukou's
participation in Koshien!
3/3/7 rhythm!
There!
Safe!
There!
Out!
There!
Newspaper extra!
Sakuragi Koukou steps forward to the finals!
Newspaper extra, newspaper extra!
I'm kind of looking forward to tomorrow.
Our baseball team really gave their best.
Well I'm going that way.
See you!
Yanagihara-senpai and the others said they'll come tomorrow,
so we'll have to show them our cool side.
Well then, good work!
Joji-kun!
Yes?
Don't oversleep.
I won't.
Please don't.
Akira-kun,
can you do the "Sakura in Full Bloom" part?
Of course I can.
Well then, I'll excuse myself first.
Yes.
Let's give our best tomorrow.
Yes.
In a daydream I had during class today
we were going to Koshien.
And then the "play ball" siren -
nothing could stop its ringing...
What is it?
What is it, Leader?
I'm scared.
Look.
It hasn't stopped shaking since yesterday.
It's really sweaty too, right?
My heart is racing, too,
and I can't sleep at all.
But I won't run away.
Because it's the Cheer Team.
We will win tomorrow for sure.
Yes! Excuse me!
Ah, it's the cheerleaders.
Momoko!
They all said they couldn't leave you alone.
We couldn't stand still either.
Sakuragi Koukou,
please begin your outfield practice.
Give your best, Sakuragi!
Senpai!
It looks like you gave your best.
Yes!
Salute!
Let's play!
Ladies and Gentlemen!
Today, we, the Cheer Team,
came here to watch over the hard struggle
of Sakuragi Koukou's Baseball Team!
We came here to lead them to victory
with the power of cheering!
We came here to change our feelings towards victory
into a big scream of energy
and send it to the baseball team!
Yes!
Fure!
Sa-ku-ra-gi!
There!
Go!
Fure, fure, Sakuragi! Fure, fure...
Hold it! Faith!
Faith!
Out!
They have a lot of luck somehow...
Yes!
In the first round, Sakuragi Koukou's attack is
First player, third base: Horiuchi-kun, member number 5
Don't worry about it!
The game has only just begun!
Don't worry about it!
There's a chance behind the pinch hitter!
Knock them down, Horiuchi! Overthrow Shiramei, oh!
Strike! Batter out!
S-A-K-U-R-A-G-I Overthrow Shiranui, oh!
Nice bunt!
Out!
Ah...
We're still at zero...
Just as I thought, Oushima is amazing.
What are you guys doing?!
Be spirited! Spirited!
Ladies and gentlemen!
This is a painful time. So painful it feels like our hearts are being strangled!
Yes!
During painful times,
I'm the type of man that would immediately try to escape!
But right now, if we were to win,
then no matter how painful it is, we just have to bear with it!
Yes!
Oh!
Ladies and gentlemen!
I absolutely hated cheer teams!
All this time, I've been thinking about
quitting the cheer team!
Yes!
But right now!
During this time when I'm cheering on my school mates,
I think that maybe it isn't so bad to continue doing this!
Yes!
Ladies and gentlemen!
To me, cheer teams are
something that would help change someone's spirit, that's what I've learned from the Senpai!
Yes!
Before, I absolutely hated words of encouragement!
But right now, it's like I want to believe that it'd work!
Yes!
This will bring up my spirits!
Akira-kun.
Okay! That's spirited water!
Sakuragi Koukou!
Cheer song!
"Sakura of Tomorrow"
There! The burn of the morning mountain.
The excited green trees.
The fall of the forest rain.
The tears of the youth.
There!
The dance of the scattered flowers.
Whispered words.
The excitement of the falling rain.
The bowing of the people.
There!
The faraway land.
It's time to set off on a trip.
We reach the hill.
The dazzling Sakarugi.
In the ninth round,
It's not perfect yet! There's three more turns!
Dawn is reaching the sky.
The darkness from faraway is scattering.
Somehow, this situation...
Look, it's not a complete game yet. Smile.
Ladies and gentlemen!
Right now, it's 2 vs. 0! Only a two point difference!
Two rounded off is still zero!
Yes!
In other words, right now we're still equal at 0 vs. 0!
Let's use up the last of our energy!
Yes!
Sakuragi! Fight!
Oh! Fight! Oh!
Let's go!
Okay!
The ground of Sakuragi! Earth! Earth! Earth! Go!
Earth! Earth! Earth! Go!
Third base!
Save!
Yay!
The spirited Earth is on our side!
Yay!
I'm really sorry.
Are you okay, Oushima?
I'm fine.
Afterall, it's still no hit, no run.
Okay, let's go!
Do your best! Okay.
The Sky of Sakuragi! Heaven! Heaven! Heaven! Go!
Heaven! Heaven! Heaven! Go!
The Sky of Sakuragi!
Heaven! Heaven! Heaven! Go!
Yes!
The spirited sky is on our side, too!
If we get a home run, then the situation will be reversed and we will win!
Hide-kun!
Calm down. Take a deep breath!
Calm down, Oushima.
Sorry.
Out!
I wonder if Oushima can recover...
Strike! Batter out!
There's still one more turn!
There!
Yes!
Still one more!
Oh yes!
Still one more!
Still one more! Still one more! Still one more!
Ladies and gentlemen!
This is the last time you'll be hearing from me!
Yes!
Now we will pray,
because people shouldn't just wait for the end come!
Yes!
That thought,
I wanted to tell you, with both words and movements!
Yes!
From the bottom of my heart, I wanted to tell you!
The people of Sakuragi! Hearts! Hearts! Hearts! Go!
Hearts! Hearts! Hearts! Go!
Go for it!
It went!
A miracle occurred!
Yes!
Yay!
Thank you very much!
Leader.
Thank you.
Yeah.
We're really sorry!
For us to come this far in this battle,
it is because we had a good opponent!
Yes!
From the bottom of my heart, I would like to thank them!
Yes!
Fure!
Shi-ra-me-i!
There!
Yes!
Fure! Fure! Shiramei! Fure! Fure! Shiramei!
Fure!
Sa-ku-ra-gi!
There!
Yes!
Fure! Fure! Sakuragi! Fure! Fure! Sakuragi!
Everyone. Thank you very much!
Thank you very much!
Finally,
Leader, speak!
Finally,
to celebrate the first winning game of Sakuragi's Koshien,
we will sing, "Sakura in Full Bloom!"
The ancient road.
The reflection of the moonlight.
Flowers are floating in the air silently.
I want to embrace the change in time.
That's what I think.
The top of our dreams.
Your footsteps.
Marking the road to tomorrow.
One day, the Sakura Spring will come.
Graduation!
Congratulations!
Now it's on to you, new leader.
Yes.
Speaking of which, have you seen Momoyama?
Up until just now, she was right over there, but...
Right?
Yeah... Ah!
Mo-Mo-Momo... Momoyama, Wh-Wh-Where's the cheer uniform...?
Since it's the graduating ceremony,
isn't it better if I look more like a girl?
Ah... Yeah.
Ah. This... This... T-T-To... To remember.
Thanks.
Then... in exchange.
Eh?! For me?
For me.. Today... I'm also graduating from being a tough girl.
Then this means...
Eh?! Button!
Eh?
Ah!
The 50th generation, Sakuragi's Cheer Team Leader.
Momoyama Momoko, yes!
