The cheerleaders all look nice and pretty, but it's hard to tell them apart. They look almost the same. They all have long, black hair (which often cover their faces), all slender, and about the same height and weight.
|
|
Most of the cheerleaders were recruited from Shiga and Kyoto.

As the Tokyo Apache cheerleaders cheered, these Lakestars boosters cheered. The guy on the right later gave his Lakestar banner to the Apache cheerleader who was a good sport to accept it.

Tokyo Apache Dance Team. I dunno how the team can afford such a huge group of cheerleaders. They number almost double the number of most team's cheerleaders.

Just when I finally became able to recognize the different faces of the cheerleaders (at first, they looked the same to me), the season ends, and they will be replaced next season.

Sorry, I can't remember the names of all the cheerleaders...

But thanks to all the LakeStars cheerleaders for cheering and brightening up the games. Wish I could say, "Looking forward to seeing you next season," but they will be all gone and replaced by new girls.
