■Comments from successful 2026 members

・HARUKA (Continuing member: 6th term)

"The 2026 season will be our sixth term, and this audition was the one I was most nervous about. I will be the member with the longest tenure, so I want to help the Tohoku Golden Angels, which has been passed down to me by my predecessors, grow even more, and I will work hard as a team to bring energy to Tohoku."

・HANA (new successful applicant)

"I'm really happy that my hard work, inspired by the Tohoku Golden Angels, has paid off. I'm grateful to my friends and family for all their support. I want to perform with the senior instructors at the school, starting with HARUKA-sensei, with the awareness that I'm not just a student, but a professional cheerleader."

・KYOKA (new successful applicants)

"I was going through a tough time when I was taken to a Rakuten Eagles game, and the Tohoku Golden Angels' performance gave me courage and I became a fan. From now on, I would like to spread energy and courage to people. I will also be taking part in games and festivals in my beloved hometown of Aomori, so I will do my best to liven up the prefecture!"

・HANAR (newly successful applicants)

"When I participated in the Sansa Odori dance, I passed by the Tohoku Golden Angels in the waiting room and felt a sense of admiration for them. I myself have been doing rhythmic gymnastics and Sansa Odori dance since I was a child, and I love dancing, so I decided to give it a try. Now I feel motivated to do my best to liven up Tohoku. I also want to participate in the Sansa Odori dance as an Angel from now on!"

・HARUHI (new successful applicant)

"I've been doing rhythmic gymnastics since I was little, and I dreamed of working in a dance-related field in the future. But now that I've become a member of the Tohoku Golden Angels, which I've always admired, I want to become someone who can liven up the entire Tohoku region. Also, at the games in Iwate Prefecture, I want to lead the cheering so that the warmth of the people of Iwate can help us win."
