- Cheer Readers Description (US version)

Cheer Readers (図書ガールズ) is a game in Rhythm Heaven Fever. This game is about School Library Pep Squad knows as "Cheer Readers" where the girls are cheering up people who study at the library. Attaining a perfect allows access to the music for this game. The sequel, Cheer Readers 2, is unlocked later on.

Gameplay
The player controls the twelfth (oldest) girl (bottom row, the farthest right). Throughout the song, there are many vocal cues in the form of "cheers" that indicate different patterns. To get a hit, the player must flip/spin their book at the right time. The cheers include:


 * "One! Two! Three!": Starting from the top, each row of girls flips their book on a word. The player needs to flip on the "Three!".
 * "It's up to you!" (Japanese: "Hey you can do!"): Starting from the left, each column of girls flips their book on a word. The player need to flip on the "you!".
 * "Let's go read a buncha books!" (Japanese: "Let's everybody go, yeah!"): Starting from the top left corner, the girls quickly flip their books as a "wave" in a diagonal pattern. The player needs to flip on the "books!".
 * "Rah-rah sis boom bah-BOOM!" (Japanese: "Ne-ver gi-ve up eh!"): Starting from the top left corner, the girls will do the motion in "Let's go read a buncha books!", but at a slower pace. The player needs to flip on the "BOOM!"
 * "OK, it's on!" (Japanese: "Okay, don't mind!"): This cue acts in a different way. Instead of flipping, the girls will instead spin their books and then open them to form a design (see the "Trivia" section for all the designs that appear). The player must start spinning on the "it's" and stop on the "on!".

Throughout the song, the player will have to perform a variety of these cheers. Each one always stays at the same speed, but the distance between cheers can vary.

Trivia

 * Cheer Readers is a pun for "Cheer leaders".
 * Many cameos from the previous Rhythm Heaven titles appear inside the open books. The Characters are: A skinny robot from Fillbots, an Onion from Rhythm Tweezers, DJ Yellow and his Student from DJ School, the Stepswitchers from Lockstep which appear in this game, Space Gramps from Space Dance, Play-Yan from Night Walk, a Frogette from Frog Hop that appear in Remix 7, all three veggies from Crop Stomp, a Paddler from Rhythm Rally, the Moais from Moai Doo-Wop that appear in the sequel, and two versions of the girl from Tap Trial. There is the third version of that girl that cannot be seen in the actual game, though it can be hacked with changed textures so it will appear.
 * Some people confused the Frogette from Rhythm Heaven's Frog Hop for Yoshi from the Super Mario franchise. This is mainly because you can't see his mouth.
 * In the rating screens, a boy resembling the boy from Double Date is seen talking to the Cheer Readers.
 * According to debug notes found in the files of Rhythm Heaven Megamix, this game, Fork Lifter, Board Meeting and Packing Pests would have its story mode variant added in that game but got cut for unknown reasons.
