This is so strange...
I didn't realize new areas could just suddenly appear in SEKAI...

Luka
It hasn't been coming down all that hard, but it's been on and off for a little while now.
Shizuku
Yes, but these droplets don't feel wet whatsoever. Actually, they're a little warm for some reason...
Luka
Which means it isn't your normal kind of rain. And do you think this pond was created by it...?
Shizuku
Yes. As far as I can tell, this looks like ordinary water, but I'm sensing nothing ominous about it. There even seems to be something sparkling at the bottom.
Shizuku
This SEKAI was born out of our feelings, so I'm convinced that there's nothing dangerous about it...!
???
Great show today, Shizuku!
Shizuku
Hehe. Thank you for coming again today. And I really appreciate you seeing me out like this.

No, it's my pleasure!
I really wanted to tell you how much I liked your performance!

Fan
And you put on another absolutely astonishing show today! Your singing and dancing were so perfect... I really admire you...
Fan
I can't do what you do, Shizuku, but I always think about how hard you work and what I can do to become more like you whenever things aren't going well for me.
Shizuku
(She even said that her favorite thing to do was come see shows at the theatre since it wasn't very big. It gave her a chance to see me right up close.)
Fan
But I've noticed that Cheerful * Days hasn't been doing as many shows at the theatre after becoming more well known.
Fan
Of course, I'm happy that more and more people have started following Cheerful * Days...
Fan
I do feel a bit conflicted since I've been following you from the very beginning...
Fan
But that doesn't mean I'm going to stop cheering for you! So, please keep doing your best...!
Shizuku
(Back then, I did what I could to put on the best performances I could at the theatre, and I always looked forward to seeing that person there...)
Shizuku
(But our group's popularity just kept rising after that. We had no choice but to reduce the number of performances we did there in order to accommodate our other offers for work...)
Shizuku
(As a result, that person...
She started only coming to see us every once in a while.)

Shizuku
(Right. As our group became more famous, more and more people like her started feeling like they were getting left behind. That's been lingering in the back of my mind for so long...)
Shizuku
(That's why I'm so afraid that the same thing is going to happen to MORE MORE JUMP!)

Shizuku!!!
You're the best!!!
You're the best!!!
Fan
(I don't care if I can't see you at that theatre anymore. I don't care that the current you is different from the person I saw in Cheerful * Days...)

(I'm your fan because I know how hard you work to stand on that stage.)
Fan
(No, I abandoned you once, so I have no right to call myself your fan. But I'm going to keep cheering for you as long as I live. So...)
Fan
Please let me keep supporting you!
Shizuku
I ended up causing you so much pain...
And yet, you were willing to keep cheering for me...

Rin
Wow... You really got to see what that fan of yours was thinking while you were engulfed in that light?
Shizuku
Actually, before you two came over to get me, I was talking to Saito about how we may end up disappointing our oldest and most loyal fans as our group's activities evolve.

Shizuku
Even if what we do changes, as long as my determination doesn't, my thoughts will reach everyone.
Luka
Despite the current you being very different from the Cheerful * Days you, you've never once given up on trying to reach your fans, yes?
Rin
A lot about you has changed, but that hasn't. You've been able to get everyone to understand what you're thinking and feeling.

Saito
Because everyone in MORE MORE JUMP! is really amazing. You, in particular, Shizuku...
Shizuku
What happened when I was still in Cheerful * Days may still end up happening to us. As things change moving forward, we may end up disappointing our fans...
Shizuku
Spreading hope to them will still remain our priority. We aren't going to stop reaching out to them...
Luka
We're very much looking forward to seeing how things unfold for MORE MORE JUMP! in the future!
