Shizuku

Listen

Everyone, I'm looking forward to... Huh?
2

Shizuku

Listen

(What are all these cardboard boxes doing here?)
3

Minori

Listen

Oh, Shizuku!
4

Airi

Listen

Perfect timing!
Over here!
5

Shizuku

Listen

Coming♪

6

Shizuku

Listen

Were you all about to open these boxes?
7

Airi

Listen

Yeah, that's right.
We got here a little early, so we decided to take a look.
8

Minori

Listen

What do you think's inside, Shizuku? Can you guess?
9

Shizuku

Listen

Inside? Um...
10

Haruka

Listen

I'll give you a hint. They're things that our fans will need to really enjoy our show.
11

Shizuku

Listen

Things they'll need? To enjoy our show...?
12

Shizuku

Listen

Oh, I know...!
It's our merchandise!
13

Minori

Listen

We have a winner♪
Nicely done, Shizuku!
14

Airi

Listen

Alright, you three, that's enough celebrating. Help me out with these, will you?
15

Shizuku, Minori & Haruka

Listen

Okay.

16

Shizuku

Listen

Oh wow...!
This box is filled with towels!
17

Haruka

Listen

This one has the T-shirts.
18

Minori

Listen

I've got glow sticks over here!
Look! They even say “MORE MORE JUMP!” on them!
19

Airi

Listen

Of course they do.
They were made specifically for us.
20

Shizuku

Listen

Hehe. I understand how she feels.
After all, these are some of the first pieces of merchandise that were made with her in mind.
21

Shizuku

Listen

When I was still in Cheerful * Days, I remember my manager always showing us the samples for merchandise whenever they arrived.
22

Airi

Listen

Wait, Shizuku, did you all inspect the merch yourselves?
23

Shizuku

Listen

No, they really just showed us since we'd usually design some of them ourselves.
24

Shizuku

Listen

But that stopped after a while when we started offering a wide array of merchandise.
25

Minori

Listen

I see...
26

Haruka

Listen

Yeah, merchandise can sort of grow out of control pretty fast. I remember looking over some featured items for certain events, but not much outside of that...
27

Shizuku

Listen

Yes, which is why I really enjoy the fact that we get to look over our own merchandise like this. Thankful too.
28

Airi

Listen

Then, let's inspect everything thoroughly to make sure our fans only get quality products!
29

Shizuku

Listen

Yes!
30

Airi

Listen

Minori, try turning on that glow stick for me. We need to check how it looks when its lights are on.
31

Minori

Listen

Okay!
32

Haruka

Listen

I'll start unfolding these T-shirts.
33

Shizuku

Listen

Okay, I'll do the same for these towels.

Sound Effect: Play

34

Shizuku

Listen

Oh, the fabric they used to make these towels is so soft. They feel nicer than I was expecting.
35

Airi

Listen

Lemme see...
Hey, they do feel nice!
36

Airi

Listen

I'm glad we did our homework for these. You can end up with stuff that feels really hard or frays easily if you're not careful.
37

Shizuku

Listen

Hehe. And these should hold together fine when you twirl them around.
38

Airi

Listen

Yeah, they should be able to handle that and a spin in the washing machine just fine.
39

Airi

Listen

That means the wristbands we ordered should feel just as nice since we asked for the same fabric.

40

Haruka

Listen

Minori, can you take a look at this T-shirt for me? How does it look?
41

Minori

Listen

Whoa! It looks great on you, Haruka!
42

Haruka

Listen

Hehe. Thanks.
However, that's not what I'm asking...
43

Minori

Listen

Wait, right! We're supposed to be inspecting everything! Uhh...
44

Shizuku

Listen

You'll want to see if the printing looks okay and if our group name and individual names have been spelled correctly.
45

Minori

Listen

Oh, okay!
Thanks, Shizuku!
46

Shizuku

Listen

You're welcome.
47

Shizuku

Listen

(Again, this really takes me back...)
48

Shizuku

Listen

(When I saw my name on merchandise like this for the first time, I remember...)

Leader

Here you are, Shizuku.
This looks like your merch.
50

Shizuku

Listen

Thank you very much!
Wow, this towel... It's such a pretty color.
51

Shizuku

Listen

Not only that...
52

Shizuku

Listen

(Cheerful * Days... SHIZUKU HINOMORI...
My name... It's really written right on here...)
53

Leader

Hehe. You look so happy, Shizuku.
Just make sure your name's spelled right, okay?
54

Shizuku

Listen

If my name's spelled right?
55

Leader

Yeah, especially when a person's name includes something like a “zu”, “dzu” or “tzu” sound.
56

Leader

You'd think it wouldn't happen, but it actually does a lot...
57

Shizuku

Listen

Oh, I see. I had no idea...
58

Leader

“Fu” gets misspelled too sometimes.
59

Leader

The managers and others are all probably going to inspect everything... But it's still good to check just in case.
60

Shizuku

Listen

Right...
Thank you very much. I'll keep a close eye out.

61

Minori

Listen

Hm? Shizuku?
Is it just me or do you seem really happy right now?
62

Airi

Listen

Yeah, I noticed that too. Do those towels really feel that nice?
63

Shizuku

Listen

Hehe. That's part of why.
64

Shizuku

Listen

But also because these reminded me of when I got to take a look at my own merchandise for the very first time...
65

Shizuku

Listen

Since these will be in the hands of our valued fans soon, we should take a close look at them and see what they're like.
66

Minori

Listen

Yeah, I totally agree!
67

Airi

Listen

No, you just want to browse through all our merch.
68

Minori

Listen

Y-You're not wrong...
69

Airi

Listen

This is when you're supposed to say I am there!
70

Shizuku & Haruka

Listen

Hehehe.
71

Shizuku

Listen

(In just about a month, all of this merchandise is going to be in the hands of our fans.)
72

Shizuku

Listen

(I hope they like what we have to offer.)
73

Shizuku

Listen

(Our show is one thing, but I really want them to enjoy these as well.)
