One, two, and turn!

(Cross my arms then swing...)

Eek!

Minori, are you okay?

Y-Yeah. Sorry about that.
You were all doing fine and...

There's no need to apologize.
You were doing great, Minori, so let's keep going!

<Man, this looks super tough.>
<I'd be dead in ten minutes.>
<Can you really master this in a day?>

Idols are all about determination! This is only the beginning and we're gonna utterly master this dance!

Yeah! Let's do it!

(Next, I step in behind Airi and...)

Eek...!

Shizuku, you okay?

Yes, sorry.
I just tripped...

Don't sweat it. Let's try it again!

(This time, I'll get it...)

No...!

Shizuku!

<Whoa? She messed up again?>
<Hold on, is Airi actually a better dancer than Shizuku?>
<Wasn't expecting that...>

*Huff*... *Huff*...

Everyone seems pretty tired. Maybe we should take a breather...?

Yes, I agree...
Please, take a break.

Huh? What about you, Shizuku?

I'm going to keep practicing a little more.

B-But shouldn't you rest?

Hehe. Don't worry about me. I'll only be a little longer.

But Shizuku...

Minori.

Don't worry. Shizuku's always been like this.

She struggles so much at the beginning, but ends up putting in even more effort when nobody's looking.

That's how she gradually becomes the perfect Shizuku everyone sees on stage.

...

<I want to see Shizuku's solo practice!>

Oh...

<I don't like seeing her trip and fall this much but...>
<I want to see too! Can you show us?!>
<Point the camera at Shizuku!>

Haruka! Airi!

Sure, let's show them.

Right...! I feel a little bad for doing this without asking, but I'm sure Shizuku will understand.

Then let's just rotate the camera this way and...

<She's been working this hard behind the scenes?>
<She always looks so composed. I wasn't expecting this.>
<She looks so determined! lol.>

<I always thought she was just perfect at everything.>
<I guess it makes sense that she works this hard.>
<It's so different from what I imagined...>

<Seeing how much effort she puts into becoming the perfect Shizuku we all know is actually pretty moving.>

<Watching her like this makes me want to work even harder too.>

Hm? Shizuku...!

Sorry, I was concentrating so much that I lost track of time.

I think that should do it.
I think I can manage now.

Yeah, okay....
Show us what you can do!

One, two, three, four!

(And this next part...)

(I want to show my fans that I can do this...!)

(I don't want anyone to regret supporting me up to this point! I may not be perfect, but I still want to give them hope!)

Okay, one last time!

Right!

*Huff*... *Huff*...

I... I finished the whole thing...

Great job, everyone.
We made it through the entire routine.

N-No more...
I can't move a muscle.

Wait, Minori! Are you okay?!

Let's give her a chance to catch her breath. She did great considering we just threw her into the deep end with such a brutal song.

Yes, I agree.
Minori really is amazing.

She is... But I think today's MVP is you, Shizuku.

Huh?

Shizuku, wasn't there something you wanted to say to our viewers?

Oh, that's right...!

...

Everyone... There's something I would like to tell you.

<What is it?>
<We're all ears!>

I believe the idol I was as part of Cheerful*Days was a much better idol than I am today.

However, that version of me was only made possible thanks to all the support she had. She wasn't the true me.

Shizuku...

I'm sure you would all rather see the old version of me.

However... I'm sorry.
I can no longer be her.

While I may not be able to give you the perfect version of myself you were all hoping for...

I'm still going to try my very best to inspire everyone.

So please... If you'll have me, I would very much like it if you would continue to support me.

...

<I'll love any version of you, Shizuku!>

*Gasp*...

<Thank you for being so honest!>
<You'll always have my support!>
<Not what I was expecting, but you've got my support.>

Everyone...!

Going forward, we'd like to show you all a new side of ourselves. As members of MORE MORE JUMP!

We promise to work even harder than before to live up to your expectations. We look forward to your support!

<I can't wait!>
<I'll be cheering for you!>
<Let's all do our best, together!>

Thank you, everyone...

Phew... Thank goodness.

Shizuku! Good job!
You got through it.

Airi...

Thank you. I couldn't have done it without you all.

And thank you especially, Minori.

Huh? But I didn't do anything.

That's not true at all.

The fact that you supported me and said you like me just the way I am is what gave me the strength to make this decision.

You gave me the courage I needed, Minori.
Thank you so much.

I-If you say so...
I'm just glad I could help.

Hey, Shizuku! Let's re-watch the stream!
We got tons of great comments!

Sure!
