Drawn to the uniqueness of CREAM, to J. F. Oberlin University
When I was four years old, I joined a local soccer club as a cheerleader. The turning point came in fifth grade. I started cheerleading with a newly established team, and my practice increased dramatically. Teaching dance techniques like jumps and turns became stricter, and some friends quit. Even so, I was able to keep going because I loved dancing so strongly.
Blessed with the surrounding environment, I experienced being number one nationwide in both junior high and high school. When considering my future path, I had decided to continue dancing at university. On top of that, I decided to enroll in J. F. Oberlin University because I had always wanted to dance in CREAM (J. F. Oberlin University Song Reading Club) since childhood. I admired CREAM's unique attitude, unbound by trends, and in terms of expressiveness and theme choices. Additionally, I was attracted to the College of Arts and Sciences where you could learn a wide range of Area, including languages.
I am inspired by the confidence and passion of dancers from overseas.
I started jazz dance in college. It took me a while to master it, but it was an experience that allowed me to confront myself and discover where my own curiosity lies. Now that I'm an upperclassman, I make an effort to communicate with my juniors as much as possible. I can see their rough edges, but my juniors are very sensitive, and I'm always inspired by them as I guide them.
This spring, we traveled to Oakland, USA, to participate in the ICU World Cheerleading Championships. We were happy with our third-place finish, but the experience of performing in the heartland of dance and witnessing the confidence and passion of international dancers was truly invaluable. Experiencing international dance also gave us an opportunity to reconsider, "What exactly is our team's unique style?" which was a great benefit.
I want to send my support through dance.
Our strength lies in teamwork. If we don't match each other's images down to the smallest details, we won't get good performances. During the off-season, when there are no competitions, there are Events such as member auditions and club activities. That's why we value our limited time, continue basic practice, and strive to share our image.
Through dance, we aim to cheer on many people and deliver performances that move people. We will continue to practice diligently, so we would be happy if you could support us.
With their perfectly synchronized performance, they'll be number one in Japan next year.
