A space kicker's job is to keep a ball afloat as they float in space. One such kicker wrote [[Reading Material (Rhythm Heaven)#An Essay on Keepy-Upsy|An Essay on Keepy-Upsy]] regarding their first experience of being launched into space, which they thought to be weird at first, but got used to later. They mention their appreciation for their teammates as well, and that they're proud of being born a space kicker, thanking their mom in return.
