From iNiS, the creators of ''[[Gitaroo Man]]'', comes this rather clever [[Rhythm Game]] for the Nintendo DS. ''Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan'' ("Hey! Fight! Cheer Squad") revolves around a group of male cheerleaders who go around rooting on people all across Tokyo in a variety of tasks to a variety of Japanese pop and rock music. Their clients include Tsuyoshi Hanada, a ''ronin'' student trying to get into Tokyo University; Yasushi Tanaka, owner of a ramen shop trying to drum up more business; and Ichiro Tamura, a [[Salaryman]] who... grows to fifty feet tall in order to save his daughter (and the city) from [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever|a giant blue mouse on the rampage]].
Then there's the stage where they get pulled through time and space to cheer on Cleopatra's royal construction crew so she can lose weight via pyramid power...
And for the [[Grand Finale]], they cheer on the whole world to create a [[Combined Energy Attack]] big enough to save the planet from impact with a giant asteroid.
It's a weird game, but that's [[Widget Series|part of the appeal]] -- it seemingly crams as many familiar anime, manga and [[Useful Notes/Japanese Culture|Japanese Culture]] tropes in as it can to make it as Japanese as possible. The game mechanics make good use of the DS stylus, as they involve tapping markers that appear on the screen in time to the music.

You can find a translation of the manga panels from the first game [http://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/ds/file/928590/47789 here] and the translation for the second [http://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/ds/file/938402/48692 here].
And just for fun: Computer desktop backgrounds for the [http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/aosj/wallpaper/index.html first game] and the [http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/ao2j/download/index.html second game]. There's [http://inis.wikia.com/wiki/INiS_Wiki a wiki] for the games (and other games made by iNiS), but you won't find much there.
