Tokyo: Let s go, fight!
Donning a colorful attire and face shields and holding pom-poms in their hands, a four-person cheerleading squad was seen pepping the commuters up at the Shimbashi station in Tokyo ahead of the one-month long emergency Japan will go into to combat the sudden surge in the COVID-19 cases in the country.
The squad came from the Japan Girls Cheer Club. Headed by Kumi Asazuma, the group has been performing for around 10 years and are seen every morning at the metro station, energizing the commuters to seize the day to their fullest potential.
