Pompoms rustle and silver shoes flash as "Japan Pom Pom" practice, moving to a lively cheer dance beat. With members ages 60 to 89, they're no ordinary squad.
 
 
At a recent weekly practice, resumed after a year off, mask-wearing members checked temperatures before stretching, then moved into their dance routines - socially distanced, of course.
 
Though most wore sweatpants and t-shirts with a glittery "Japan Pom Pom", for performances they don sequined, mini-skirted cheer costumes. For one routine, Takino wears a leather biker jacket and shades; in another, all sport silver wigs.
