Haruka

Oh...

KAITO

Listen

One, two, three... And pose!
5

KAITO

Listen

Hehe. How was that? Good?
6

Len

Listen

Yeah, that felt pretty solid.
7

KAITO

Listen

Thank goodness!
Then, let's do it just like that for the show...

Haruka

Listen

KAITO, Len.
9

KAITO

Listen

Huh? Haruka?!
10

Haruka

Listen

Good evening. Sorry to catch you two so late.
11

Haruka

Listen

I wasn't expecting to see you two practicing at this time. And your hard work seems to be paying off.
12

Len

Listen

Thanks, Haruka.
13

KAITO

Listen

I'm so excited about my next show that I've been having Len help me like this as I practice.
14

Haruka

Listen

Is it going to be special in some way?
15

Len

Listen

Hehe. Yeah, to KAITO.
16

Len

Listen

You know how he's been helping us come up with ideas for our shows and taking care of everything behind the scenes?
17

Len

Listen

Well, as a small token of our appreciation, we're handling everything for his next show as the producers.
18

Haruka

Listen

I see...
19

Haruka

Listen

It certainly sounds like it's going to be a very special occasion for you, KAITO.
20

KAITO

Listen

It is. Also, since Len and the others are going to all this trouble for me, I need to do my best too.
21

KAITO

Listen

Still, I do those things because I want to. It feels kind of strange to be thanked for that.
22

KAITO

Listen

They're my friends, but I'm also their fan.
So, if anything, I should be the one thanking them for giving me the opportunity to help them show the audience just how wonderful they are.
23

Len

Listen

Um, KAITO?
Like we're always saying, we feel the same way for you...
24

KAITO

Listen

Y-Yes, I know!
Which is why...
25

KAITO

Listen

I'm going to take all your kindness and put on the best show that I possibly can!
26

Haruka

Listen

Hehe. Break a leg.
27

Len

Listen

So, Haruka, what brings you here this late?
28

Haruka

Listen

Oh, the thing is, there's something I was hoping to ask you two.
29

KAITO

Listen

What is it that makes MORE MORE JUMP! special...?
30

Haruka

Listen

Yes, that's right. I remembered something that the producer for ASRUN said when I was still with them...
31

Haruka

Listen

I realized that showing everybody what makes us special should play a key role in terms of which offers for work we accept.
32

Haruka

Listen

But I'm having trouble finding the right words to describe what actually makes us special. I came here to get your objective opinions...
33

KAITO

Listen

Hmm... Well...
34

KAITO

Listen

You girls are all wonderful, and you have many special things to offer...
35

KAITO

Listen

But I think MORE MORE JUMP! is so appealing because you're all able to just be yourselves in front of your fans.
36

Haruka

Listen

Be ourselves...
37

KAITO

Listen

Yes. People tend to be drawn to idols because they have such a dazzling charm to them.

38

KAITO

Listen

But there's more than just that to you and the others, Haruka.
39

KAITO

Listen

You're all doing your absolute best to spread hope to others.

KAITO

Listen

And when you were faced with a seemingly insurmountable challenge, you found a way to overcome it with the help of your fans.

41

Minori

Listen

So, we have a venue and date set, but we're still shorthanded in terms of staff...
42

Minori

Listen

If our current situation holds, we'll have to limit the number of people that can attend our event or possibly cancel it.
43

Minori

Listen

But we want as many people to come to our event as possible. We want you all to be there!
44

KAITO

Listen

You showed your fans things that you normally wouldn't.
45

Haruka

Listen

Right.
That wasn't exactly our finest moment, but...
46

KAITO

Listen

But I believe that's what makes you girls special.
47

KAITO

Listen

That's what makes MORE MORE JUMP! so appealing to your fans. They get to see you as you all are, and feel close to you...
48

KAITO

Listen

I have to think that seeing you all try your best inspires them to do the same.
49

Haruka

Listen

To do the same...

50

Minori

Listen

But it was really nice to see some viewers say that they'd also do their best, even though school isn't really their thing!
51

Haruka

Listen

Now that you mention it, some of our viewers posted similar comments during our stream.
52

Len

Listen

Really?
53

Haruka

Listen

Yeah. One person said, “I feel so at home with you girls.” A couple even said, “I feel a lot more motivated seeing you do your best,” and, “Working with you four makes me feel like I can actually do it”...
54

Haruka

Listen

(So... Just being ourselves, and having all these close interactions with everyone...)
55

Haruka

Listen

(Those are the reasons why we're able to spread hope to others as idols.)
56

Haruka

Listen

(That's what makes MORE MORE JUMP! special.)
57

Haruka

Listen

Thank you both very much, Len, KAITO...
58

Haruka

Listen

You two helped me find my answer.
59

KAITO

Listen

We did?!
I'm glad we were able to help.
60

Len

Listen

And we'll be looking forward to seeing where you go for work next.
61

Haruka

Listen

Thanks, we promise to bring back some good news.
