Cheer Readers |
You know who doesn't get enough support? People studying at the library. Let's cheer them on! |
Rhythm Heaven Megamix |
Cheer Readers (図書ガールズ?, Tosho Garuzu) is the 33rd minigame in Rhythm Heaven Fever and the 73rd minigame in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. This game is about the School Library Pep Squad who are cheering up people who study at the library. The sequel, Cheer Readers 2, is unlocked later on.
Gameplay
The player controls the twelfth 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 needs 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, ooh!): 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.

Timing Display
- Perfect!/Ace!: The Cheer Readers' routine will continue.
- Early!/Late!: The player's Cheer Reader's book is slightly tilted. On one of the "OK, it's on!" cues, the book will either show a different page than the rest of the group or be off-position. The player's Cheer Reader will also blush from embarrassment.
- Miss...: The player's Cheer Reader's book is only halfway flipped. When flipping the book open, the image on the Player's Cheer Reader's book won't match the other Cheer Readers' books and fails to complete the image. The other Cheer Readers will cast worried looks at the player's Cheer Reader.

Since the Cheer Readers started, the library has become quite the popular hangout. Apparently when people need a quiet place to read, they're going to the playground. |
Skill Star
The Skill Star appears on the last "Rah-rah sis boom bah-BOOM!" near the end of the game.

Trivia
- Cheer Readers is a pun on "cheerleaders" and "readers". The name also sounds like a native Japanese speaker saying “cheerleaders” in broken English. This is most likely intentional, as the School Library Pep Squad speaks in broken English in the Japanese version of the game.
- An onion from Rhythm Tweezers, DJ Yellow and his Student from DJ School, and the Stepswitchers from Lockstep make cameo appearances when the girls are spinning their books and then open them up. A fueled-up ROBO M model from Fillbots also appears in the tutorial section.
- In the epilogue screens, a boy resembling the boy from Double Date is seen talking to the Cheer Readers.
- This is one of the few games in the Rhythm Heaven series that has three or more commands.
- There is an unused asset of an unfilled ROBO M found in the practice mode files of this game in Megamix. Interestingly, this asset isn't present in the files of the original game in Fever.
- The vocal cues & the book-flipping cues are separate from each other. Due to this, it is possible for the game to be modded for the flipping/opening cue to be completely different to what the girls say.
- The vocal cues are voiced by voice actor Heather Gautschi, who is also responsible for the voice of Pirate Captain Jackie.
- The tempo of this minigame is 124 bpm. This number is exactly one more than 123. Since the School Library Pep Squad often says “One! Two! Three!”, it may be an intentional “error”, in line with the errors in the Pep Squad’s grammar in the Japanese version of the game.
