Part 1
Miyamasuzaka
Shizuku
Phew...
Airi
You're looking a lot better than when I talked to you in the classroom.
Shizuku
Hehe. Thanks to you, Airi.
Shizuku
After all the things you told me, I was finally able to figure out what kind of person I want to be.
Shizuku
I'm still not sure how the fans are going to feel about my decision...
Shizuku
But I'm still going to try!
Airi
Yeah! That's the spirit!
Airi
The first step is to show everyone your determination. And even if something happens, just remember that we're here with you!
Shizuku
Right. Thank you...
Shizuku
...
Airi
Hm? What's with the grin?
Shizuku
I was just thinking about how you always manage to cheer me up.
Airi
I do?
Shizuku
Yes. Ever since we first met.
Shizuku
Do you remember when we were both still idols in training? I was feeling down because of all the rumors about me, but you were always willing to talk to me...
Airi
I was just trying to encourage you to keep going.
Airi
You're the one that won the entire audition and I didn't want you moping around just because of some dumb rumors.
Shizuku
Right. I was still new to everything back then, having a hard time with the dance routines and causing problems for the other girls.
Shizuku
I was so upset with myself that I cried a lot for not being able to do anything right.
Shizuku
When I decided to stay behind to keep practicing on my own, you'd come up and yell, No, not like that!
Airi
...
Shizuku
Then you'd stay and practice with me.
Airi
I guess we did do that too, huh?
Shizuku
You even did the same thing when I decided to quit.
Shizuku
You got so mad that you rushed into the Cheerful * Days theatre on your own.
Airi
Uh... Can we just forget about that?
Shizuku
Hehe. I don't think I'll ever forget that.
Airi
I hate the fact that I know exactly how you feel...
Airi
That's right! I was just as jealous as you are! Jealous of Shizuku's looks and the fact that she was so special!
Airi
I admit I was upset that she was always chosen over me no matter how much effort I put in!
Airi
But... Open your eyes!
Airi
Shizuku never once took advantage of her position! She always put in the effort to live up to everyone's expectations of her.
Airi
She continued trying to give hope to her fans.
That's why she's so popular. That's why she was chosen as lead!
That's why she's so popular. That's why she was chosen as lead!
Airi
All we did was start sulking in our own jealousy. She's nothing like us!
Shizuku
I'm never ever forgetting what happened that day...
Shizuku
Also, it also made me realize something...
Airi
Hm?
Shizuku
You weren't seeing me as Shizuku Hinomori of Cheerful * Days, but you saw me for who I was.
Shizuku
I think that was what made me the happiest.
Airi
Shizuku...
Airi
It's a little late to confess now,
but I was always a fan of yours...
but I was always a fan of yours...
Airi
No, was is the wrong word. I still am your fan.
Shizuku
Huh?
Airi
I've been you work so hard since the very beginning. I was actually really proud when you finally made your debut.
Airi
Of course, I was irritated at the same time that you got so far ahead of me.
Airi
But I really was happy to see all of your hard work slowly start to pay off.
Airi
So keep working hard, okay?!
As much for the fans as for yourself.
As much for the fans as for yourself.
Shizuku
Airi...
Airi
Oh. But don't worry.
We're all in this together!
We're all in this together!
Shizuku
Right. You, me, Haruka and Minori...
The four of us together are MORE MORE JUMP!
The four of us together are MORE MORE JUMP!
Airi
That's right!
Shizuku
This time, let's make sure to become the idols we want to be.
Shizuku
The kind of idols who are able to give everyone around them hope for tomorrow!
Airi
Of course! That's what MORE MORE JUMP! is all about!
Shizuku
Right! Shall we make a pinky promise?
Airi
Hehe. Pinky promise? Are we back in elementary school now?
Airi
Well, if you insist...
Shizuku
Okay, here goes. Pinky promise...!
