Now I see what those guys on Sakurai's poll were talkig about. Ouendan characters would be fan-freaking-tastic in Smash, and if I'm not mistaken, they're Second party (I think. I'm still not entirely sure oif iNis is Second Party. Not that I care). That guy on the cover would do awesomely as a character. He would do those funky cheer squad dance moves as his specials and A moves, as well as probably call on his buddies Saitou and Suzuki. Beyond that, I have no clue, except that it would be awesome.
True, it only came out in Japan, but there is a sequel coming out in the US called "Elite Beat Agents" featuring western music instead of J-pop. The devs could rig it so that in the Japanese version of Brawl, The Ouendan Guys are the default and the Elite Beat guys are the alt costume, and in the US, make it so that the Elite Beat guys are the default and the Ouendan guys are the alt costume.
Wow, I really want this game now.
What the game is about: It's about a Cheer Squad that goes around Japan and motivates people as they do stuff, like Pottery, and making tea, or crazy stuff like Fighting giant monsters. Thing is, whatever people do while under Ouendan's Cheer spell, They do it in the most EXTREEEM way possible. It's awesome.
What really comes to mind for me is imagining Ouendan Kirby, with that crazy hair and with the ability to summon two other Ouendan Kirbies with his NeutralB move.
Ideas about this character?
EDIT!:
Two new Videos, since the one I first put up has long since been taken down:

Elite Beat Agents. A Babysitter does her thing as HARD AS SHE POSSIBLY CAN with the help of her big jock boyfriend. To the song "Walkie-Talkie Man."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7frypv341nw&mode=related&search=
Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! A boy comes back from the dead to woo his former girlfriend. To the Japanese song "Over the distance."
Elite Beat Agents is now out in the USA, and rather start a new Topic, I figured, lets put the two together.
EBA is the American version/Sequel/Remake of Ouendan, using different characters, Better choreography(IMO), and American music. I haven't played the game yet, so I can't say for sure what the character's names are, besides Commander Khan, but I suppose thats just an afterthought. Like the above game, EBA involves three men in suits cheerleading as people go about difficult tasks, and their success is directly tied to your cheer-skill.
This game involves new scenarios, including filming a movie, A weatherperson predicting the weather(or rather, making a prediction come true), A pirate searching for buried treasure, and A Looney Tunes-esc chapter where a cat has to save a baby from a construction site. It also includes multiple endings to each chapter depending on how much you failed.
Basically, any moveset ideas would work just as well with EBA-themed characters, though the EBA are much "Dancier" and less "Formal" than the Ouendan. Also, they hold microphones.
