Have you ever done "IKEIKE GOGO JUMP"? It is difficult even if you've watched an animation of Himechan no Ribbon. So I explain how to make "IKEIKE GOGO JUMP".

Note: These are how to make IKEIKE... on animation of Himechan if there are no annotations.

"IKEIKE"

Let's raise your right hand and shrink it TWICE. Raise it and shrink it when you're saying "IKE" and also raise it and shrink it when the next "IKE". Basically it's right hand because Himechan said, "Raise right hand". But, Yuka on Ep.29, Himechan(changed to Aiko) on Ep.36 and Himechan on Ep.43, they were raising their left hands. ;-)

In comics of Himechan no Ribbon, raised hands are 18 times on right, 5 times on left and 4 times which are unknown. Anyhow, I cannot find how to do IKEIKE in the comics. (^^;

Then I explain how to do the opposite left hand. In the comics, she almost put her left hand in front of her chest. In contrast in the animation, they are various as follows.

"GOGO"

Let's turn around and around TWICE your hand which you raised. Turn your hand in a circle when you're saying, "GO". Please, Attention that turning is clockwise (counterclockwise in case of left hand). That is turning in a circle as [Front - Upper - Back - Under - Front]. Attention because even Himechan turned counter-wise on Ep.53. (^^;

"JUMP!"

Anyway it is the most important whether you jump successfully or not. (^^) It's the best way that you jump cheerfully. When you're jumping at the top, your fist must be clenched or opened. In the comics, it is opened only once in page 19 on vol. 1, the others are always clenched. I recommend you clench your hand what you supports the comics than the animation. In the animation they're as follows.

Then, don't forget YOU MUST BEND YOUR LEGS A RIGHT ANGLE AT THE BACK during you're jumping. If you don't it, it's not IKEIKE GOGO JUMP! Also, don't forget you must stretch your legs when you're landing.(^^; Well, you know, some fans had sprained their legs who didn't stretch them. (^^;;

In case of bunshin-Himechan(doubled Himechan)

In the animation, bunshin-Himechan, who appears by using Magical Palette, jumps ladylike. If you were bunshin-Himechan, your right hand might be acted mild and your left palm might be stayed on your mouth. When you're jumping(Juuuuum Pu?), jump only a bit or raise only your one side leg.

If you're a male, I recommend you don't act bunshin-Himechan because it feels terrible. (^^;

Conclusion

You know, it's the best that you watch animation again and again in order to master the IKEIKE... (Hey! Write it first) (^^;

In members of Himechan no Ribbon Mailing List, We've done countless IKEIKE... but it's good even we've done many times. We become to be refreshed. We didn't feel fine when we didn't do IKEIKE... on an offline meeting. Fans of Himechan are lucky what's able to do that happy event.

All right, I'd like to finish it. Are you ready? Let's all together "IKEIKE GOGO JUMP!".
