For a cheerleader-themed bar in the Ginza district bar, mannequins in uniform are a new edition.

They are placed in seats to promote social distancing, while waitresses are geared with face shields, masks and pom-poms.

A themed cafe is bringing cheer with its fancy dress mannequins Location: Tokyo, Japan At this Ginza district bar cheerleader waitresses have been joined by uniformed dolls placed in seats to aid social distancing measures (SOUNDBITE) (Japanese) OWNER OF 'CHEERS ONE', ARATA FUNABARA, SAYING: "We tried to put stickers on seats for social distancing, but it made the restaurant look dreary.

So we decided to use mannequins to solve that issue.

Also, we are open, but our customers are not back full-scale.

So our restaurant looked very empty and we wanted to add more excitement.

So we added mannequins for those two reasons." Waitresses perform karaoke on request and are geared up with face shields, gloves, and pom-poms (SOUNDBITE) (Japanese) 26-YEAR-OLD CUSTOMER, YU NAKAMURA, SAYING: "Their dance is authentic.

I heard from staff that they're like a school dance club, so I think women can come here.

They're not doing business for the opposite sex.

They are just cheering for everyone."
