Aoi, Wakaba, it's starting!
C'mon, c'mon
Oh!
Do your best!
<Their energy even reach out us who watch them from here>
- What is it? - JETS wins the championship!
They win it there in America!
They win and become the number one in America!
<The one who was able to see that moment was my sister.>
With a smile, let's do our best today!
Oh!
Aoi, this one please Okay
Keep it up, keep it up, Haru
Wakaba, your boyfriend is doing his best~
He's not my boyfriend! We're just childhood friend!
Ah!
It's okay
It's alright, Haru
Haru?
Hey, let's switch!
Gather!
Bow!
Let's go home, shall we?
Well, well...
The opponent is Chuo High School, they're too strong
At least they've tried their best
Let's go home, let's go home~
I know it though...
It's okay
No matter how hard we tried, it still didn't work out after all
"Hard work won't betray you", it's just a lie
But even so...
Principal, let's go home
Frustrating, isn't it?
Yes, what is it?
Well, it's natural to feel frustrated
<...and starting to disappear.>
Fukuititan nipponensis
Saurischia, Sauropoda (Note: Saurischia: dinosaurs with lizard-like pelvic structure; Sauropoda: infraorder of Saurischian)
- Are you okay? - Lived during early period of Cretaceous Period...
- In 2007, at the city of Katsuyama... - Taro-san
Taro-san!
Eh?
At least today, do you want me to drive you to the school?
Ah, no, it's okay
- Really? - Really?
I'll be fine, don't treat me like a sick person
You don't have to work too hard, okay?
Okay?
Well, yes...
We'll leave the cheerleader club to you then
Yeee~s, Senpai
Wakaba, sighing again?
- What about this color? - Ah!
Oh, how cute~
Excuse me!
Eh, who are you?
- Are you cheerleader team? - Well, we are though...
I'm a transfer student from Tokyo, Kiryu Shiori
Ah, and since it was so sudden, I still haven't got my uniform yet
So cute, your uniform!
Ah, do you actually want to join this club?
If you do, starting from today, she's our club's president Inamori
- What about the practice? - Practice?
- Well, for the tournament...
Well, we don't participate in tournaments
- Eh? - Nishikou's cheerleader club is only doing this for supports
We don't enter tournaments or so
Eh, eh... but what about the dance?
Cheer-dance
Could it be... you don't do that too?
Well, we don't...
Eh, but as people from Fukui, aren't you all doing cheer-dance?
Why do you think so?
Because if we talk about Fukui, it's about cheer-dance, isn't it?
About JETS from Fukui Chuo High School
The one that won the All-American championship numerous times
Well, it's like saying that because Koshien is held in Osaka,
then every high schoolers in Osaka plays baseball
Koshien is held in Hyogo
I-I know it, just a little mistake...
You definitely don't know about that!
I'm Urushido Taro, and I'll be under your care starting today.
I will be in charge of Geography and History
I look forward to working with you
Actually, he's scheduled to start working here from April
No... well, I apologize, that's a bit...
My physical condition was not good
Urushido-sensei was a student of mine
But you're alright now, aren't you?
Eh, yes... Well... yes, maybe...
- You said maybe - I'm really sorry
I know then
Well... let's start doing cheer-dance from now!
Sorry?
I'll teach you the basics. Yosh, let's start practicing cheer-dance!
- Here - Eh?
I want to defeat JETS
We'll defeat JETS, then go to America,
Aiming for dominating the All-American!
- Defeating JETS? - Dominating the All-American?
This girl, does she actually understand what she's talking about?
- Are you single? - Well, I'm not...
What is it?～ So you are already married
His wife is also a teacher
A bio-technology researcher at university
Bio-tech? Urushido Kyoko from Fukui Prefectural University?
Ah, yes, that's my wife
She's doing wonderful research, right?
Urushido-sensei's wife
Look!
She's even popular in the internet too
Oh~! Wow, she's really pretty!
Where did you meet with such person?
By the way, what's not good about it?
- Excuse me? - About your physical condition
Ah, well...
He's fine now. That's the important thing.
Looking forward to work with you, Urushido-sensei
I look forward to work with you
- It's impossible, totally! - Why?
She's the one who knows best about how amazing JETS is
Her sister was JETS' center
She even won the All-American three times in a row
Eh? Eh? What's her name?
Fujitani Aoi
She's already graduated though
- Eh? Why? - 'Why'?
Having such wonderful sister,
why didn't you join JETS too?
I failed at the entrance exam...
Though I practiced dance so hard
My brain wasn't that good~
It's obvious, isn't it?
Don't say that!
But you practiced dance
Well, I learned ballet just a little bit
Ballet? That's good! That's the foundation of dance
I think you also have a talent in cheers
Fujitani Aoi's little sister
Ah, your name...
Wakaba
Wakaba-san, let's do it together
Cheer-dance
Cheer... dance?
♬～
For "have been" use verb plus "-ing"
It's the progressive form of Present Perfect Tense
Eh~ How was the transfer student?
She suddenly said things like, "Let's defeat JETS!" "Dominating All-American!"
- Isn't that stupid? - Yeah
You're so good!
You there! What are you talking about?!
Don't "have been talking"!
Sorry
Next...
That's it for today
Stand up!
- Bow! - Thank you very much!
Have a nice day
Wakaba-chan!
Let's do it! Cheer-dance!
I've told you about reforming our way of working, right?
That's the most important thing For this school, for this educational institution
This way, please
The amount of personnel is decreasing while the amount of work is increasing
About that... Hey, you!
What's your greeting?
- Good day - Good day
Good day
If we can optimize our way of working, the life quality of the teachers can be improved too
If we don't do that, each and every student here would...
Oh! Sorry!
Ah!
Each and every student here... Oh!
Hey! Let's do cheer-dance properly!
- No, I don't want to! - Wait!
What is it...?
I'm home
I'm home!
Why do you suddenly talk about this?
Aoi, what do you mean?
I want to work in Tokyo
Eh?!
Welcome home, Wakaba
What does it mean? Working in Tokyo...
I'm finally employed
I will teach cheer-dance in a private high school in Tokyo
Eh?!
It's like a dream comes true, being an adviser
This time I want to take others to America
For that, I took teaching profession
If it's like that, you can do it in Fukui too, right?
That's right. Why Tokyo?
I want to leave this place
Why?
Here in Fukui, I will always be a 'former-JETS'
Because I'm a fomer JETS, everyone would just have faith in me
- It will be easier for me to teach here - Then that's fine, right?
But I want to get out from my comfort zone!
Why did you keep silent about that?
Such a big matter like this
Sorry...
But I've made my decision
Onee-chan
<Despite of feeling uneasy or wavering,>
Wakaba, can I come in?
Yeah...
Sorry for keeping this a secret from you
No problem
It's Onee-chan's life after all
It's good, isn't it, Onee-chan?
- Eh? - The things you want to do
They all simply come true
- Do you think so? - It's true, isn't it?
It's completely the opposite for me
《- Wakaba, do your best, do your best! - O~ Onee-chan》
《Congratulations!》
It's good, isn't it?
People who can make their dreams come true
What about Wakaba?
Your dream, don't you have any?
My dream?
Wakaba, you used to tell me about anything
We talked about various things before
Because I have Wakaba, I can always do my best
- But... - You don't understand!
"She's that Fujitani Aoi's sister"
Everyone always said that
The feeling of being compared to you,
Or the feeling that no matter how hard I study, I can't get things into my head
There's no way you could understand that!
I have to do my homework
It's not that easy
Being with JETS for 3 years, this time too...
...there's not even single thing that I could easily get
Even now, I'm still very afraid
Though I want to test my strength,
actually I feel uneasy
about going to Tokyo
But you'll go anyway, right? To Tokyo
If I give up even before I give it a try,
I will feel disappointed to myself
Sorry if I'm bothering you
"Wakaba, come to the courtyard!"
What is this?
She insists that we should just try doing cheer-dance first
If you try it, you'll understand how fun it is!
Here, Wakaba too
Let me explain about it first
Cheer-dance isn't only about cheerleading
In the tournament, there will be various dance category
In cheer-dance...
♬～
...there are 4 components
First is Pom, dancing using pom-pom
♬～
Then, borrowing street style , Hip-hop
♬～
and with ballet as the foundation. Jazz dance
♬～
Then, line dance
♬～
Incorporating these 4 components in about 2 minutes and a half dance
That's what cheer-dance is
That's what made JETS won the All-American tournament
OK, let's start from the basic
Stand up! Make a line!
OK, then, High-V! High-V...
- Low-V! - Low-V
T-motion
Aah! That's not good! Your gripping arm isn't good at all!
- Even so you call yourself a cheerleader? - Well, I am though...
The fist is with the thumb in front
The arms directions are all over the place, and you don't match with one another
High-V!
First of all, your pose isn't good at all!
- Look! Your knee shouldn't be like that!
Low-V!
Your chest, it's too much!
T-motion
Your chin, pull it back more!
OK, L motion!
- And you! - Yes?
- Your pose isn't bad - Thanks
But in cheer-dance...
I quit!
We're not that carefree
We still can do the cheering even without matching the form of our fingers
- But, in the tournament... - We're not entering any tournament
We don't want to do cheer-dance. Right?
- Yeah - Okay then, let's leave
- I won't do it either - Me too
First-grade students? Don't you want participate in a tournament?
Let's go
Fumi
- Well, it's okay then - It's okay?
It can't be helped Let's make the cheer-dance club, both of us
- Hah? - A small elite group
Yosh! Let's do it one more time, the basic movement
Wait, wait, I...
Can you do it somewhere else?
You're too noisy!
Isn't it? Sorry, class-rep
Why don't you go to library instead?
Have you gotten permission to practice within school area?
Eh?!
You don't do this as a part of cheerleading club,
but only because you want to do it. If it's like that,
You should get proper permission from school!
You're right
She made me upset! What's with her?!
Our class-rep is a member of student council too
His father is our vice principal
She's a very strict person Her nickname is "naturally class-rep"
To oppose her like that...
It will be good if we could get the permission, right?
For cheer-dance club?
Yes, would you give us permission to have a practice in school area?
If you don't mind, a club room too
But we already have a cheerleader club
We want to participate in a tournament,
To defeat JETS, then go to America
Winning... against that "JETS"?
Yes! Then we'll be a champion in All-American tournament
Where did you get such confidence?
Fujitani-san, you too?
Want to defeat JETS, then go to America?
Eh? No, no, I'm just...
Of course! Our target is dominating the All-American!
- I see - No, no, it's impossible to have a new club
We don't have budget for that and we're lack of people It's impossible to do it in time like this
You're right...
Moreover if it's just the two of you, just simply make a small group will be enough, right?
We will recruit more members
First of all, who should we ask for permission?
Well, that''s...
- Eh? - It's vice-principal, isn't it?
- Huh? - I understand
We'll give you the application later Let's go, Wakaba!
- Eh? Eh?! - Hey, wait!
So their target is dominating All-American...
That absurd thing..
I've been a principal for 5 years
But up until now, there's not a single student...
- ...who said they want to make a new club - Of course there isn't!
Though the number of club activities is decreasing, we can't just increase it
since the number of student is decreasing too
Excuse me
Well, first, we should make a pamphlet for member recruitment
- Ah, then we should look for adviser too - Wait a second, Shiori-san
- Just call me Shiori - Wait a moment!
Sorry, but defeating JETS is impossible
Why do you say it's impossible even before you really do it?
"If you work hard, everything is possible"
That's a lie
We won't defeat JETS and we won't be able to go to America
Did I say weird things?
I just think that you said it as if you've always been working hard before
Huh?
I worked hard, you know
In ballet, dance practice,
In study too, I worked hard before
- Before? - Yes
I was stupidly working so hard but then I failed
- I'm just being realistic - So?
Then what about before?
It's not only JETS who can do cheer-dance, right?
If you really like it why didn't you continue to do that here?
Why do I have to hear you saying that to me?
Because I want to win
Oh, I see
Do it alone then
I will!
Doing it together with such a loser who keep saying "It's impossible!"like you will just bring me misfortune
Me too!
I said too much
Stop practicing for a while. You can go back any time
Haruma, we'll be waiting for you
You're taking a break? From baseball?
- I'm afraid - Eh?
I'm afraid to grasp the ball
Maybe all I can do is quit
- Thank you for your hard work - Thank you for your hard work
- Matsui-sensei, aren't you going too? - I'm okay
- Just one bite - I'm not going
How is it? What do you think about Nishikou, Urushido-sensei?
Ah, ah, well
Ah, well... it's a good school, I think.
- Um, what if... - Yes?
If we make a new club,
would you be the adviser?
- Eh? - Eh?
There are students who want to make cheer-dance club
- Cheer-dance? - Do you know about JETS?
There are students that said that they wanted to defeat JETS from Fukui Chuo High School,
then go to America
- Do you want to try to be their adviser? - Wait, wait a second
Cheer-dance is all girls club, isn't it?
- Yes - Yes, it's all girls. All the members are girls
- Moreover, all they do is dancing - Yes, dancing
- Well, it's only dance - No, it's impossible
I never did any dance
- Yes, it's impossible. Totally. - Really?
- Isn't it obvious? - Yes, it's impossible for me. I can't do it.
Excuse us! Aoi-senpai, are you there?
Eh?
What's wrong everyone?
Is it true that you will go to Tokyo?
Yes
To have you coming to our practice sometimes,
We're all very happy about that!
I see, thank you
Aoi-senpai, thank you for everything!
Thank you very much!
Sorry for bothering you
Tomonaga-sensei!
Hikari-senpai?
These girls said that no mather what they wanted to say a proper farewell to you
They even went to your house, I'm really sorry for that
No, it's fine
Thank you, everyone!
Okay then, you can go home now
- Excuse us - Excuse us!
- It's hard in Tokyo, you know - Yes
There are lots of people who are good at dancing
Among them, there's only few people who can make it till the end
Yes
But you must try doing the impossible
Right?
Yes
- Your sister? - Yes, she is...
My name is Fujitani Wakaba!
Please support your sister
This girl actually doesn't have much confidence
Isn't it, Fujitani-san?
At the tournaments too
But as soon as she started to dance, she was the one who enjoyed dancing the most
Even at times when she sprained her ankle
You can do it
Believe in yourself
Yes, thank you very much
- Eh? Cheer-dance? Yes, I was asked to be their adviser
Don't do that Don't you ever do that, Taro-san
- Yeah, I understand… - No, you don't
There are only cute girls in cheer-dance club, right?
- Yeah... - And they dance while wearing mini-skirts
And Taro-san will be their adviser? No, no, it's dangerous!
Being male adviser for cheer-dance, you could be accused for sexual-harrassment!
- Kyaaa! - That's why I said I won't do it
You've promised that you won't push yourself too much, right?
Yes
- Yosh, then it's time for sweets! - Let's go!
It's up to 500 yen, okay?
Taro
Taro-san? Yes
- Who are you? - Well, I'm... I'm Urushido Taro
Ah, no, wrong Taro
Taro?
Taro!
Thank goodness, I thought you're lost
So it's that Taro...
You are a teacher, right?
Ah, yes...
I'm 2nd year student, Fujitani
Ah, are you the one the principle was talking about? The girl that wanted to make cheer-dance club?
- No, I'm... - Ah, so it's not you?
Because I know
that defeating JETS and dominating All-AmericanJETSに is impossible
My sister was in JETS
I also wanted to join it, but ...
But...?
It's always like that since I was a kid!
I never won against my sister
Do you hate her?
- Eh? - Your sister
No way
It's true that
she's pretty and kind,
she's smart and has a good reflex too
I can't help but compare myself to her
But, I know
all the things that Onee-chan has,
she didn't get them easily.
She constantly worked hard, harder than anybody else
Though I know about that...
I...
I said bad things at her
You really love your sister so much, don't you?
- What do you think about that, sensei? - Hm?
"Doing the impossible"
Is there any meaning behind it?
Well, how to explain that...
Working hard for something that is impossible, maybe it only brings suffering
It is, right?
That's what I thought too
Don't force yourself too much, just enjoy it with everyone
It will be fine only doing the things you can do
But...
Doing the things you want to do the most,
maybe it's the happiest thing
I think it's true
Yosh! I got it!
I should take the change!
You mean... the chance...
Ah, I got it wrong
Let's go, Taro!
- Ah, I mean this Taro - I know
- Excuse us! Let's go, Taro!
Taro-san
Taro-san!
Ah, so it's me
- What happened? - Ah, no, nothing
Thank you
- Taro. I'm off! - Be careful!
Shiori!
Let's do it
Not doing the things you can,
but doing the things you want to do
Eh?
Cheer-dance, let's do it!
Anything like "Let's do it!" like that...
Let's do it! OK, another "Let's do it!"
Another "Let's do it"?
Thumbs in front
How is it? "Let's do it!" while holding pom-pom
C'mon, c'mon, here
Wow~
Is there anyone who want to join us?
If we put this maybe there will be some
Yosh! OK! - Yosh! Next!
Here, here
Ah, we're recruiting members for our club, maybe you'd like to... Ah!
You can't put posters here
Hey, wait!
- You should properly obey the rules - Sorry, next time we will!
-I confiscate this - Eh!
Moreover, to make a club in this school
It requires minimum 8 members. That's the rule from the student council
8 members?
In this school,
I wonder if you could find 8 person that are stupid enough to have the target to dominate All-American
Is there anyone? Anyone who can dance?
Ah, there she is, Tachibana Honoka from 2D
I heard she has done ballet since she was a kid
- Wanna try? - Well, I quit ballet already
Can't you please help us?
She's there, she's there, she's there!
Speaking of dancing, That girl also did it before...
- What type of dance? - Traditional Japanese dance
His father is a head of traditional Japanese dance school
Let's do cheer-dance!
- Okay?
Kurihara Nagisa from 2A
She's good at running, and she has good stamina too
Cheer-dance? Let's dance together!
By the way, Wakaba, why don't you join track and field club?
You absolutely can do it!
Next, Shibata Maki from 2D
She didn't go to school recently
But I saw her dancing alone there at night
Do you want to try doing cheer-dance?
Eh, why?
You don't have to stop...
Get away!
So, today, let's review the arm motion
Okay
We haven't decided yet whether we want to do it or not though
Me too
OK! First, let's just enjoy the cheer-...
Excuse me...
- You're from A class... - Ah, I'm Enoki Taeko
- This... - Ah, do you have dancing experience?
- Not at all - What about physical training? Did you join any club?
I didn't join any. I'm helping at our family's shop
Ah, we serve Chinese food, it's relatively...
I know Enoki restaurant
It's written that it's effective for diet
- Did you write that? - I did...
Anyway... It's good that we have one more member, right?
- Right! - Yeah.
OK, let's start the practice
Huh?
Listen, give the instruction kindly
They are all beginners in cheer-dance
OK
1 2 3 4…
Wow~!
It hurts, hurts, hurts...
You should do it more, let me do it
It hurts!
So it's impossible for you to be the adviser
Well my family is...
Even when I'm back in teaching profession,
if it's going to make my health condition worse again
They even said it's OK for me to quit the job...
- ...and just stay at home - I see
But you still want to continue teaching, right?
Well, I guess so...
However... even if it's tough if they told you to work hard everytime
Being continuously told like "You don't have to work that hard"
I think that's also harsh
1 2 3 4 5 6 one more
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
OK, everyone, please try that too
1 and 2 3 and 4 5 and 6 7 8
One more High-V Low-V 1 2 3 4
High-V Low-V
- 1 2 3 4 - No, it should be 5, right?
- Eh? - One more! Ready, go!
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
…6 7 8 1 2 3 4
《Even now, I'm still very afraid》
《Though I want to test my strength,》
《actually I feel uneasy about going to Tokyo》
《This girl actually doesn't have much confidence》
Thank you for your hard work Excuse us!
Excuse me!
Ah
There's something I want you to teach me
That song
That song?
5 6 7 8
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Let's have a break before we try it once more
I have a favor, everyone
There's a song I want to dance with everyone
Please lend me your strength
Please!
Well...If we dance for 1 full song,
maybe everyone will understand the joy of cheer-dance
Wanna try?
5 6 7 8
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Stop! One more! Let's do it from the chorus part
5 6 7 8
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
That's not good! Do you really want to do cheer-dance?
- Shiori, wait... - Honoka
You did ballet, right? Why can't you do it right?
Nagisa! Your movement was too sloppy, your body was too stiff!
Hasumi, smile!
It's not traditional Japanese dance! Don't be so expressionless
Taeko! You're lacking many things!
- I'm so sorry! - Shiori, you don't have to...
Everyone, do you underestimate cheer-dance? You think you can go to the tournament like this?
- Hey! - Joining cheer-dance tournament...
That's enough
- Eh? - We just did it because you asked us to
Wait, Honoka-chan!
Yeah, why should we hear such things from you?
Nagisa!
Hasumi-chan? Taeko-chan?
Why? We enjoyed it so far, but why did you say such horrible things?
Ah, what should I do...
Wait, everyone!
Everyone quit
We can't win if we just enjoy it
Aaa~h I guess it's really impossible!
Let's dance
You promised right?
To dance for 1 song until the end
- Onee-chan, can I get in? - Yes
- You are ready to go? - Yes
Please tell my greeting to mom and everyone else
Don't you want to meet her?
It will be a trouble if she cries
Just say my farewell to her
Please eat with her
just like how you used to do it
Seconds, please
Onee-chan!
Wakaba?

Thank you!
Me too
I foung the things that I want to do!
I want to try doing
the impossible!
You may cry, you may feel frustrated, but there's a dream in front of you
Doing the things you want to do, in the end that's fun, isn't it?
It is!
I'm off!
Take care!
- Take care!！ - Take care!
Everyone~!
Thank you for coming
