I started rhythmic gymnastics at age 4 and trained hard until my third year of high school, aiming to win the Inter-High School as a team event. Especially during high school, I faced various conflicts with an eye on the Inter-High, learned the positions of all team members, and contributed by taking on roles according to the situation. Through that experience, I learned the importance of dancing for others, including my friends and supporters, while also developing flexibility and a sense of responsibility to support my teammates.

At university, I had decided to try cheer dance, which I had always been interested in. While researching where to attend, I found the J. F. Oberlin University Song-Reading Club's performances on YouTube. I was strongly attracted to the choreography and structure of their acts, the music and costumes, and the world created by the teachers and athletes, and I instinctively thought, "I want to dance here." I was also attracted to the College of Health and Welfare curriculum where you can obtain a teaching license, so I decided to enroll in J. F. Oberlin University.

When I first started cheerleading, I was confused by the different muscle usage and movements compared to rhythmic gymnastics. However, I gradually got used to the practice and was able to express myself in my own way, which allowed me to truly appreciate the joy of cheerleading. I'm also able to make full use of the flexibility and expressiveness I cultivated in rhythmic gymnastics in cheerleading.

For the competition, I've been placed in the center position from the very first pose. I've also been entrusted with many key moments during the performance, so I want to fulfill my responsibility as the face of the team and lead my teammates by example.

Now that I'm a third-year university student, I have more opportunities to coach younger students in terms of athletic performance. Since it's a team sport, there are many times when I have to point out their weaknesses. Even so, I try my best to find their strengths and offer positive encouragement. Outside of practice, I aim to create an environment where each team member can participate in the sport with peace of mind through casual conversations.

We are currently practicing hard with the goal of winning the All Japan Student Cheer Dance Championship, which will be held in November. This will be the last competition for our fourth-year students who have been working hard with us all this time. We want to give our best performance to express our gratitude and become the best in Japan.

Cheerleading is a sport where team bonds are extremely strong. We value each individual's personality, while also emphasizing team unity. Rather than trying to force our own opinions on others, we strive to become a team full of mutual respect and consideration.

Together with these irreplaceable teammates, we strongly desire to be a team that constantly grows, cherishing each day's practice. We appreciate your support.
