Haruka

Listen

(I'm glad our event succeeded.)
2

Haruka

Listen

(There are a few things that we need to work on, but we should be able to go into our next one with our heads held high.)
3

Haruka

Listen

But for now, I need to work on that segment for our next stream...

Haruka

Hm? A message...?
Oh, it's from Minori.
5

Haruka

Listen

<I'd like to talk before practice tomorrow morning.> ...?
6

Haruka

Listen

(Did something happen...?)
7

Haruka

Listen

I mean, I'll reply yes but...

Haruka

Listen

Good morning.
10

Minori

Listen

H-Haruka! Good morning!
11

Minori

Listen

Sorry about asking you to meet like this so suddenly.
12

Haruka

Listen

No, it's okay. Thirty minutes earlier than usual is no big deal.
13

Haruka

Listen

But what is it that you want to talk about?
14

Minori

Listen

R-Right!
15

Minori

Listen

Putting on that event we just did really taught me that I still don't have enough knowledge or experience yet when it comes to these things.
16

Minori

Listen

I see now that what I sometimes think of as being good can be not so great for our fans. I wasn't able to see things from a different perspective before...
17

Haruka

Listen

(Oh...)

18

Minori

Listen

I can't believe someone's willing to help us like this! Now, our event might just...
19

Haruka

Listen

Is this the right way to go?
20

Haruka

Listen

By agreeing to have this person help us, we'd be making them “work” instead of having fun, no...?
21

Haruka

Listen

In other words, we'd be forcing our fans to face reality and see what goes on behind the scenes...
22

Haruka

Listen

I want to do everything in my power to make sure our fans get to enjoy our events as fans.
23

Haruka

Listen

I apologize for what I said that time, Minori. You were so optimistic and looking forward to everything, while I just...
24

Minori

Listen

What? N-No, don't worry about that!
I should be apologizing for not fully understanding how our fans would feel about what I said!
25

Minori

Listen

Also, well...
26

Minori

Listen

I'd like to take more of that into consideration when we're planning for our next event.
27

Minori

Listen

So I want you to tell me more about where you think I need to be more careful moving forward!
28

Haruka

Listen

Minori...
29

Haruka

Listen

Okay, and I'll try my best to give you good feedback.
30

Minori

Listen

Thanks!
31

Haruka

Listen

Let me start by commending you on wanting to be more “careful” since it's a very important part of what we do.
32

Haruka

Listen

It's easy to miss things that you shouldn't be by not giving something the attention it deserves.
33

Haruka

Listen

In terms of knowledge, I can tell you about some things, but I gave a feeling that Airi's the better person to ask.
34

Haruka

Listen

She was a regular on quite a few TV shows, so she probably knows more than any of us about how the production process really works.
35

Minori

Listen

Right! I really appreciate it, Haruka!
36

Haruka

Listen

As for experience, that's just going to take time for you to accrue.
37

Minori

Listen

Oh, yeah... I guess so, huh?
38

Minori

Listen

But I used to be the “zero experience amateur idol”, so I'm not about to let that get me down!
39

Minori

Listen

And I want to keep learning more about being an idol by gaining that experience with all of you!
40

Haruka

Listen

But Minori...
You do possess something really incredible.
41

Minori

Listen

What?! I... I do?
42

Haruka

Listen

Yes.
43

Haruka

Listen

You have the ability to see things from the fans' perspective.
44

Minori

Listen

Oh...
45

Haruka

Listen

Because you'd spent so much time being my fan, you really know what the fans want.

46

Haruka

Listen

That's something the rest of us won't be able to achieve any time soon even if we tried.
47

Haruka

Listen

I believe that the time you spent and the experience you gained as a fan, is just as important as the time the rest of us spent being idols.
48

Haruka

Listen

So I really want you to be proud of having the ability to see things from the fans' perspective.
49

Minori

Listen

...!
50

Minori

Listen

When we're trying to think of ideas for our stream, Airi's always saying how, “It's important to see things from the fans' perspective.”
51

Minori

Listen

And now I understand. I actually have something to contribute...!
52

Haruka

Listen

Exactly. So I'd like it if you could also keep taking what you believe into consideration as well.
53

Haruka

Listen

I believe you'll get to experience a whole variety of things before you know it if you do, Minori.
54

Minori

Listen

Okay, I'll start by thinking about what I can do for us! Thank you so much, Haruka!
55

Minori

Listen

Hehe. I'm so glad I asked you about this.
56

Haruka

Listen

Likewise.
Thank you as well for taking what I said so seriously.
