**Hiromi Maiharu** (舞春 ひろみ, *Maiharu Hiromi*) is the main protagonist of Minami Kamakura High School Girls Cycling Club. She is a recently enrolled freshman after her family moved from Nagasaki to Kamakura who starts rekindling her interest in bicycles.

## Etymology

* The name **Hiromi** is written in hiragana (ひろみ), which has no special meaning. However, when written in kanji (寛美, 裕美, 博美 or 弘美), it could possibly mean:
	+ 寛美 - "tolerant, generous" (寛) (**hiro**) and "beautiful" (美) (**mi**).
	+ 裕美 - "abundant" (裕) (**hiro**) and "beautiful" (美) (**mi**).
	+ 博美 - "command, esteem" (博) (**hiro**) and "beautiful" (美) (**mi**).
	+ 弘美 - "vast, broad, wide" (弘) (**hiro**) and "beautiful" (美) (**mi**).
* Hiromi's surname **Maiharu** means "dance" (舞) (**mai**) and "spring" (春) (**haru**).
Long Riders! OST

The *Long Riders! Original Soundtrack* score was composed by Hiroaki Tsutsumi for the 2016 anime *Long Riders!*.

Tsutsumi's career goes back to 2006, when he began as a performer of guitar and other strings for various anime. He took the stage name pOIOn for some of his early work. His work as a composer took off in 2015 after composing the music for several episodes of *Everyday Life with Monster Girls*. He has since done the full score for several popular shows, including *Valkyrie Drive Mermaid*, *Children of the Whales*, *Teasing Master Takagi-san*.

The soundtrack includes TV-size versions of the opening theme "♡km/h" by Ray, and the ending theme "Happy Ice Cream!" by the show's principal voice actors.

Sensha-dou

Sensha-dou [*сэн-ша-до*] (*кандзи* 戦車道) является одной из форм боевых искусств, который предусматривает использование танков в качестве оружия. Это боевое искусство является эксклюзивным для средней школы и колледжа девочек, чтобы развить их чувство собственного достоинства, как молодых женщин, помочь стать профессиональным и эффективным гражданином, и развивать качества, необходимые для материнства.

## Общая концепция

Битва включает в себя две противоположные школьные команды, где каждая представляет свой собственный набор танков. Есть два типа матчей в Sensha-Dou, в "бой до последнего" и "захват флага" (уничтожение флагмана). В модификации игры Panzer Vor! также присутствует режим "захватить все точки".

**Бой до последнего** предусматривает устранение всех танков противостоящей команды, чтобы выиграть матч. Этот тип матча лучше подходит для команды с хорошо отлаженными танками, готовыми к любому раскладу, ибо это битва на истощение.

**Захват флага**, когда одна команда должна устранить флагман (танк с синим треугольным флажком) противоположной команды, чтобы выиграть матч. Этот тип матча даст шанс для более слабых команд, так как им нужно устранить всего одну боевую машину врага.

**Захват точек** проводится на картах, где есть одна или более точек для захвата. Захват проводится путем размещения одного или более танков в радиусе этой точки. Чем больше танков на захвате точки, тем быстрее происходит взятие. Команда, которая контролирует все точки выходит победителем из сражения.

В соревнованиях Sensha-dou, только 10 танков для каждой команды разрешены для первого раунда до четвертьфинала, 15 танков в команде для полуфинальном раунде и 20 танков для участия в финальном раунде. Обратите внимание, что в мультиплеерных сражениях количество танков может отличаться.

В модификации Panzer vor! присутствует деление танков по уровням. Таким образом турниры также делятся на:

* Младшую лигу (уровни 1-3)
* Среднюю лигу (уровни 1-4)
* Старшую лигу (уровни 1-5)
* Специальные бои (уровни 1-5 + техника, которая не зарегистрирована как официально разрешенная)

## Общие Правила турнира

* Танки, которые будут использоваться, должны быть разработаны или произведены до 15 августа 1945 года. В модификации игры некоторые танки немного превосходят эту планку в соображениях баланса, но также всегда допускаются к сражению.
* Боеприпасы которые используются, должны быть заверены лигой по проведению турниров, чтобы держать участников в безопасности.
* Броня используется на танках, должна быть заверена лигой, чтобы держать участников в безопасности (нет открытых участков). В игре это правило применимо при модификации техники. Не стоит оставлять слабо бронированные участки на танках, иначе они не будут допущены к участию в турнире.
* Все танки должны быть снабжены устройствами отслеживания очков здоровья танка. Когда танк поражен, эти устройства определяют устраняется ли танк или нет. Хитпоинты снимаются в зависимости от калибра, силы удара и взрыва (в случае осколочно-фугасных снарядов), а также толщины брони пострадавшего танка.

この坂を上り切ったら

必ず見える景色が好きだって

背中に羽を持つあの子も言って笑ってた

ドキドキが一瞬で

トキメキになっていくんだなんて

あの頃は信じられなくて

ただ見惚れていたよ

このスピードに乗せた体温が

今全身で伝う　通じ合う

物語の鍵はこの手に

ぎゅっと強く握っているから

感じて　応えて　風になる

空に溶けて海を抱きしめる

新しい世界が見えるはず

さぁ確かめに行ってみよう

恋したり夢見たり

一日だって同じ日はないから

いつだって全力で今日を走り抜けていこう

隣で笑い合う

それだけで全部わかってくから

本音でぶつかった痛みも

もう忘れていたよ

もっと加速度を上げて太陽に

口づけるくらいに近づいて

風向きはいつも自分次第

ほら夜明けはもうすぐだよ

こんな気持ちになるって

こんな日々が来るって

想像以上のキセキ

そう　もっと遠くへ

明日のもっと先へいこう

胸の高鳴りが止められない

この瞬間を生きてる！

このスピードに乗せた爆音が

今全身で伝う　通じ合う

物語の鍵はこの手に

ぎゅっと強く握っているから

感じて　応えて　風になる

空に溶けて海を抱きしめる

新しい世界が見えるから

さぁその手を伸ばして

Our ride!　確かめに行ってみよう

Just FEEL ALIVE with me!!

MK-04: I Won't Let You Take Natsumi-chan!

**I Won't Let You Take Natsumi-chan!** (夏海ちゃんは渡さないよ！, *Natsumi-chan wa Watasanai yo!*) is the 4th episode of *Minami Kamakura High School Girls Cycling Club*.

## Synopsis

Swim-club president Azuma is upset that promising swimmer Natsumi is joining the cycling club instead of the swimming club. To defend her honor, Azuma challenges Hiromi to a bicycle race. To make things fair since Azuma is clearly a better athlete, Hiromi gets a road bike, while Azuma uses a utility bike and is not allowed to stand up on the pedals. They both struggle to get up the steep hill which was selected as the race site.
LR-09: Azumi Autumn Ride! Part One

**Azumi Autumn Ride! Part One** (あずみオータムライド! 前編, *Azumi Ōtamu Raido! Zenpen*) is Episode 9 of *Long Riders!*.

## Synopsis

Team Fortuna participates in the Alps Azumino Autumn Ride, or Azumi Autumn Ride, for short. It’s an all-day long-distance cycling event for which they have to go 160 km.

At the start, the organizers break the riders into groups a few minutes apart, and Ami gets held back to a group a few minutes behind the other girls. She panics a bit at first, but pushes hard and catches up to the others before the first aid station. Saki in particular looks forward to the varieties of food which are offered at the aid stations along the way. The turn-around point is at the Hakuba Ski jumping station.

## Music

The insert song is "Kimi to" ("With you", キミと).

* Vocals:    Ray
* Music:    Takanori Itakura
* Lyrics:    Ray
* Arrangement:    Takanori Itakura

This song is included as the B-side song on the CD-single release of the opening theme "♡km/h".

## Trivia

* The Alps Azumino Autumn Ride is based on the Alps Azumino Century Ride. Writer Tiashi Miyake rode in the Alps Azumino Century Ride in May 2012, failing to complete by 5 pm by just a few minutes. It begins at Matsumoto City, travels through the city of Azumino and north to Hakuba and back. It is common for such an event to offer a shorter route, like 120 km for intermediate cyclists, and a long route of 160 km for experienced cyclists. Time limits are set for riders to get to each aid station, and those who can’t leave the aid station by the designated time of day are driven to the finish in a support vehicle.
* A Century Ride is so named because the distance is 100 miles. That's approximately 160 km.
* The Hakuba Ski Jumping Station was used for the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics.

## Synopsis

Ami  decides that she wants a road bike, but is shocked by how expensive it is, especially since the accessories are sold separately. To get the money, she takes on a new part-time job, but won't tell her friends what it is.

Yayoi  takes Ami and Aoi  to the Chinese restaurant where Hinako  works. Hinako is embarassed to be seen in the traditional Chinese dress that she wears there. The others then stalk Ami to find out where she is working. It turns out to be a themed cafe, where Ami has to wear a maid's outfit and act out for the patrons. Her natural clumsiness turns out to make her perfect for this.

## Trivia

* Hinako's restaurant was modelled on the Double Dragon Chinese Restaurant in Zama. They have made the most of the exposure brought on by the show by giving the restaurant a cycling-anime theme through their decorations and advertising.

## Reception

THEM Anime Reviewist, Stig Høgset praised the sidecar racing scenes for having beautiful scenery that complement the CG vehicles during the high-octane moments, the sound editing to accentuate driving the courses and the sidecar technical aspects but was critical of the racing teams cast acting as bearers for the series' unfulfilling comedic and dramatic story elements, concluding with, "Come for the bikes, because the drama and the comedy is definitely not up to speed."
