Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©

Wakaba (Tao Tsuchiya) is a 2nd grade high school student in Fukui Prefecture, Japan. When Wakaba was little, she admired the cheerleading club "JETS” from Fukui Chuo High School in Fukui Prefecture. She dreamed of joining the "JETS,” but she thought it was impossible for her to join and enrolled at another high school. One day, a transfer student from Tokyo talks to Wakaba and proposes "let's do cheer dance together."

Notes

"We Are Rockets" takes over TBS' Friday 22:00 time slot previously occupied by "You've Got Someone to Come Home To" and followed by "Don't Forget Me" on October 12, 2018.
The cheerleading club "Jets" from Fukui Chuo High School referenced in the drama series is a real cheerleading club who successfully competed at a competition in the United States.
Drama series is set 9 years after the movie "Let's Go, Jets."
Actress Suzu Hirose will make cameo appearance as Hikari Tomonaga (her character from movie "Let's Go, Jets"). Hikari Tomonaga comes back as a teacher at the high school where she graduated from and coaches the cheerleading club "JETS."

Mac Jul 26 2021 6:02 am Title of all the songs please?

bulalo May 29 2019 11:44 pm Beautiful and talented main cast, especially Ishii Anna!

hayad Dec 08 2018 8:06 am Ishii Anna will nailed it. She is a member of E-Girls after all, the youngest performer on top of that.

AhnYoojin Aug 04 2018 5:51 am Lol . I love to watch wakaba & yuki scene . Yuki such a good friend , esp when she clap hands after their performance . Haha

t0ur Aug 02 2018 3:33 am @Tunjung Sasongko xxxJunkJAVmanZ yeah. I really like waterboys.

Tunjung Sasongko xxxJunkJAVmanZ Aug 01 2018 12:16 pm This is waterboys all over again apart from it's girls

nandarou Jul 15 2018 10:15 am @sang heuk: I watched it live on TV because I live in Japan

nandarou Jul 14 2018 4:03 am First episode is pretty okay and I like the vibe, reminds me a lot of the movie version. Anna looks like Brooke Fraser (New Zealand singer) here lol

Bread May 20 2018 2:18 pm Ishii Anna!!! <3

thohir Apr 10 2018 6:52 am @nannie:

Have you even watch Dance Drill? It`s bad beyond redemption - the directing was completely lost, no chemistry between the characters (because the directing and it has bad acting to begin with), and the writing was all over the place.

On the other hand, I`ve heard this TV version of Cheer Dance has been planned long time ago, at least on paper the cast list is quite good (even better collectively than the movie version`s) although some of the newest in the roster might be wild cards. Just hope TBS assign this project to competent screenwriters and directors because the potential is there.

Susan Apr 05 2018 8:41 am Tao is a talented actress and her dancing is good too. It has been a while since we last saw her in a drama so I'm really looking forward to this. I hope the other girls can dance too :).

Nella Apr 04 2018 2:09 am Can’t wait to see Anna ><

knf_sf Feb 03 2018 8:36 pm I'm glad Tao gets to showcase her skills in dancing

Nannie Jan 21 2018 5:43 pm The story kinda reminds me of 'Dance Drill' with Eikura Nana though. I hope it's just as good.

Btob Jan 08 2018 5:23 am Looks like she gained some weight!! I love her....cant wait to see her.....

Aiko Jan 07 2018 8:40 pm Tao overacts in her acting sometimes. Still a fan of hers though.

Koko Jan 07 2018 9:19 am From the synopsis, I think it's a different story from Let's Go Jets.

ntr48 Jan 07 2018 4:41 am I hope there could be also a remake for past jdramas not a remake for jdramas that are recently aired :/
