Ichika, Kohane & Nene

Listen

Cheers!
3

Minori

Listen

I'd like to thank you again, Kohane, for letting us join your team for practice today!
4

Kohane

Listen

You're welcome.
Getting to practice like this with everyone was so much fun!
5

Ichika

Listen

About that, Kohane.
Are your practices always like that?
6

Kohane

Listen

Like how...?
7

Ichika

Listen

You know, how everyone seems a little nervous or on edge...?

Sound Effect: Play

8

Kohane

Listen

Was it a little too tense for you?
9

Ichika

Listen

No, nothing like that. It's just, everyone was taking everything so seriously.
10

Minori

Listen

Yeah, you guys are all just able to say what's on your mind right then and there!
11

Nene

Listen

I noticed that too... You guys don't really hold back or try to coddle each other.
12

Nene

Listen

It's almost like it's hard to get mad when you're told something that bluntly.
13

Minori

Listen

But I thought that's really important!
14

Ichika

Listen

I agree. Being able to say what needs to be said or being willing to hear what you may not want to is no small feat.
15

Minori

Listen

Exactly! By doing that, you'll immediately get to know and even trust each other!
16

Kohane

Listen

Hehe. Thanks, Minori.
17

Ichika

Listen

Not only that, you guys are so detail-oriented.
18

Minori

Listen

Haha... Yeah, I kept getting warnings about not staying in rhythm or maintaining my pitch...
19

Nene

Listen

To be fair, that was on a level where regular people probably wouldn't have been able to tell if they heard you sing.
20

Nene

Listen

Still, Aoyagi has such good ears.
Does he have a deep music background?
21

Kohane

Listen

Yeah, he does.
He used to do classical piano and violin.
22

Minori

Listen

Th-That's amazing!
23

Minori

Listen

Does that mean Shiraishi and Shinonome can play instruments too...?
24

Kohane

Listen

No, not as far as I know...
25

Kohane

Listen

But An's liked music since she was little because her dad used to be a professional musician.
26

Kohane

Listen

We even formed our group in order to surpass this legendary event that he helped organize.
27

Kohane

Listen

Oh, Shinonome actually got into street music because of that event too.
28

Kohane

Listen

But he doesn't have much of a music background, so he had to learn everything on his own and practice so much.
29

Ichika

Listen

All of that on his own...?
30

Minori

Listen

I heard that your team's full of incredible people, but I didn't know just how incredible until we practiced together!
31

Minori

Listen

And you were brave enough to jump in with them! It's just so incredible!
32

Ichika

Listen

Hehe. Every other word you said just now was “incredible”, Minori.
33

Minori

Listen

I mean...!
34

Nene

Listen

In that sense, you're just as incredible, Hanasato.
35

Kohane

Listen

I agree. You're working alongside three idols who used to be really popular in MORE MORE JUMP!
36

Ichika

Listen

One of them being the Haruka Kiritani.
37

Minori

Listen

Hehe. Well...
38

Nene

Listen

Hm? Well what?
39

Kohane

Listen

Hehe. Kiritani's the idol you've been looking up to since you were little, right, Minori?
40

Minori

Listen

Yeah!
41

Nene

Listen

O-Okay?
42

Ichika

Listen

So she's like your hero...?
It may take a while until you catch up to her.
43

Minori

Listen

That's the thing...
44

Minori

Listen

It's not just Haruka.
Airi and Shizuku have been teaching me so much, but I still have such a long ways to go.
45

Minori

Listen

But every time I face a new hurdle, I tell myself to not give up and just keep going!
46

Ichika

Listen

I see...

Sound Effect: Play

47

Ichika

Listen

(I know exactly how she feels.
I've been chasing after Shiho this whole time.)
48

Minori

Listen

But...
49

Minori

Listen

They also keep telling me that MORE MORE JUMP! isn't MORE MORE JUMP! unless we're all together.
50

Minori

Listen

So no matter what it takes, I want to catch up to them!
51

Ichika

Listen

Minori...
That's so great.
52

Kohane

Listen

Yeah, and we believe in you!
53

Nene

Listen

(Come to think of it, we don't really have that dynamic in our troupe...)

Sound Effect: Play

54

Nene

Listen

(But Hanasato said that she's chasing after her hero, so maybe Ms. Kazamatsuri's that person in my case.)
55

Nene

Listen

It's like you're trying to beat a game on the hardest difficulty possible...
56

Kohane

Listen

I've felt that too actually...
But...
57

Kohane

Listen

We're all doing everything in our power to achieve our goals and make our dreams come true.
58

Minori

Listen

Right. And catching up to everyone else won't be easy.
59

Minori

Listen

But...
60

Minori

Listen

The people I care about most told me that they believe in me!
61

Minori

Listen

That's why I'm going to keep trying my best, no matter what.
62

Nene

Listen

I see...
63

Nene

Listen

Hehe. Your enthusiasm's so infectious. I feel like I need to keep trying my best now too.
64

Minori

Listen

Really?!
65

Minori

Listen

Hehe! Let's start by doing everything we can for the Fan Festival, Nene!
66

Nene

Listen

Okay.
67

Ichika

Listen

Since we're all here, shall we have a quick debrief and discuss what happened during practice today?
68

Kohane

Listen

Oh, I'd like that!
69

Minori

Listen

Me too! Let's do it!
