Stage SEKAI
Haruka
I hope someone's here...
???
ーーーー♪
Haruka
Oh...
KAITO
One, two, three... And pose!
KAITO
Hehe. How was that? Good?
Len
Yeah, that felt pretty solid.
KAITO
Thank goodness!
Then, let's do it just like that for the show...

Haruka
KAITO, Len.
KAITO
Huh? Haruka?!
Haruka
Good evening. Sorry to catch you two so late.
Haruka
I wasn't expecting to see you two practicing at this time. And your hard work seems to be paying off.
Len
Thanks, Haruka.
KAITO
I'm so excited about my next show that I've been having Len help me like this as I practice.
Haruka
Is it going to be special in some way?
Len
Hehe. Yeah, to KAITO.
Len
You know how he's been helping us come up with ideas for our shows and taking care of everything behind the scenes?
Len
Well, as a small token of our appreciation, we're handling everything for his next show as the producers.
Haruka
I see...
Haruka
It certainly sounds like it's going to be a very special occasion for you, KAITO.
KAITO
It is. Also, since Len and the others are going to all this trouble for me, I need to do my best too.
KAITO
Still, I do those things because I want to. It feels kind of strange to be thanked for that.
KAITO
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.

Len
Um, KAITO?
Like we're always saying, we feel the same way for you...
Like we're always saying, we feel the same way for you...
KAITO
Y-Yes, I know!
Which is why...
Which is why...
KAITO
I'm going to take all your kindness and put on the best show that I possibly can!
Haruka
Hehe. Break a leg.
Len
So, Haruka, what brings you here this late?
Haruka
Oh, the thing is, there's something I was hoping to ask you two.
KAITO
What is it that makes MORE MORE JUMP! special...?
Haruka
Yes, that's right. I remembered something that the producer for ASRUN said when I was still with them...
Haruka
I realized that showing everybody what makes us special should play a key role in terms of which offers for work we accept.
Haruka
But I'm having trouble finding the right words to describe what actually makes us special. I came here to get your objective opinions...
KAITO
Hmm... Well...
KAITO
You girls are all wonderful, and you have many special things to offer...
KAITO
But I think MORE MORE JUMP! is so appealing because you're all able to just be yourselves in front of your fans.
Haruka
Be ourselves...
KAITO
Yes. People tend to be drawn to idols because they have such a dazzling charm to them.
KAITO
But there's more than just that to you and the others, Haruka.
KAITO
You're all doing your absolute best to spread hope to others.
KAITO
And when you were faced with a seemingly insurmountable challenge, you found a way to overcome it with the help of your fans.
Minori
So, we have a venue and date set, but we're still shorthanded in terms of staff...
Minori
If our current situation holds, we'll have to limit the number of people that can attend our event or possibly cancel it.
Minori
But we want as many people to come to our event as possible. We want you all to be there!
KAITO
You showed your fans things that you normally wouldn't.
Haruka
Right.
That wasn't exactly our finest moment, but...
That wasn't exactly our finest moment, but...
KAITO
But I believe that's what makes you girls special.
KAITO
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...
KAITO
I have to think that seeing you all try your best inspires them to do the same.
Haruka
To do the same...
Minori
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!
Haruka
Now that you mention it, some of our viewers posted similar comments during our stream.
Len
Really?
Haruka
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”...
Haruka
(So... Just being ourselves, and having all these close interactions with everyone...)
Haruka
(Those are the reasons why we're able to spread hope to others as idols.)
Haruka
(That's what makes MORE MORE JUMP! special.)
Haruka
Thank you both very much, Len, KAITO...
Haruka
You two helped me find my answer.
KAITO
We did?!
I'm glad we were able to help.
I'm glad we were able to help.
Len
And we'll be looking forward to seeing where you go for work next.
Haruka
Thanks, we promise to bring back some good news.
