Sisters willing to leave lives in Japan to be Cowboys cheerleaders
ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys are known as "American's Team," but they're big all over the world.
Two sisters from Osaka, Japan, made the long trip to AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, last weekend in hopes of becoming part of the organization at the Cowboys cheerleaders auditions.
"The Dallas Cowboys are famous in Japan and the Cowboys cheerleaders are also very famous," Ai Matsui told FOX Sports Southwest.
Matsui, 31, and her 27-year-old sister, Hitomi, have been dancing their entire lives and are both instructors in Japan.
"I'm a cheerleading coaching in Japan for 300 children," Matsui said.
Despite speaking little English, they're both ready to leave their home country and start a new life in Texas if given the opportunity to cheer for the Cowboys.
"If I make the team, I will move to Dallas," Matsui said. "We'll quit our current jobs and move here.
"It seems like my family is supporting me, but I'm not sure what they actually think."
Their husbands wouldn't hesitate to make the move as both are willing to drop everything to help their wives fulfill their dreams.
"My husband is supporting me and is a big fan of the Dallas Cowboys," Matsui said. "So I think he will be happy if I become a Cowboys cheerleader. He loves the Cowboys."
