Haruka
Thank you all for your patience.
But I was able to make use of the time you gave me to find a satisfactory answer.

Haruka
Okay.
Like I said before, I don't think there's anything wrong with what you all said, Airi.
Like I said before, I don't think there's anything wrong with what you all said, Airi.
Haruka
I also believe that we should think about how we're going to spread hope to others when choosing which offers to accept...
Haruka
And we're also going to need more media exposure in order to increase our name recognition and make our dream a reality.
Haruka
To be transparent, I'm borrowing something that the producer for ASRUN said to me when I was still with them. You see...
Airi
Now I see...
If we win fans with what makes us unique, then we'll really be their one and only.

And that staunch base of supporters cheering us on will give us the energy we need, while also helping bring in more fans...
Haruka
For example, Shizuku, you're always doing your best to make sure the audience enjoys what they see.
Haruka
Minori, you... You've never given up on your dream. No matter how many obstacles you run into, you just keep going.
Haruka
That's what I love about all of you.
That's what I think our fans love about us. We're just ourselves.
That's what I think our fans love about us. We're just ourselves.
Haruka
And I feel that they've been able to see that because we've been doing streams as freelancers in particular.
Haruka
Of course, that's resulted in us running into some problems that we couldn't solve on our own.
Haruka
But I believe that working together and helping each other out during times of need is a cornerstone of MORE MORE JUMP!
Saito
This is just my opinion as a fan, but I feel that all of you in MMJ treat us as equals.
Saito
Even when you're streaming, you don't feel like celebrities living in a different world. You make us feel at home. Almost like we're family.
Saito
Which is why I think just watching you all helps us so much when we're feeling down or upset. It's like you're right there cheering us on.
Minori
So... We've been able to spread hope to others because we've been able to interact with them on a personal level?
Airi
Then, let's use what Haruka said as one of the criteria for us choosing which offers to accept. Whether or not we'll be able to show everyone what it is that makes us special!
Haruka
Well, instead of things that would require us to stick to a certain script or theme, we may want to place a priority on offers that allow us to just be ourselves.
Haruka
For instance, shows with longer talk segments or close-coverage reporting should give us opportunities to show everyone who we really are.
Saito
In that case, I'll try picking out offers which align with all the criteria you've set.
Saito
I've had a chance to review everything, and the offers that cover the criteria we just discussed include...

Saito
“Funtime Lunchtime,” which is a variety show, and “The Town Revitalization Team!” They shoot documentaries about the namesake subject.
Haruka
Right. Both seem like they'll give us plenty of opportunities to spread hope to our viewers, cheer them up and make them smile...
Shizuku
“The Town Revitalization Team!” is run by a regional station, but it's supposed to be very popular. Both should give us the exposure we need.
Saito
“The Town Revitalization Team!” covers all the criteria we've listed, since their goal is to shoot “real documentaries about real people.” Nothing is staged.
Airi
I can't say 100% for “Funtime Lunchtime,” but a lot of those competition-type variety shows have scripts that are really just an agenda with a list of activities. That format could also work for us.
Airi
“The Town Revitalization Team!” is a segment of a popular program, but we'd be working with a narrower demographic. Also, it looks like it's only available on certain apps.
Haruka
They shoot for extended periods without using scripts, and we'd get to interact closely with the locals as we try to bring their town back to life, right?
Haruka
Our strengths and our shortcomings will all show up as-is. To other idols, that could be a considerable risk...
Haruka
But that's what makes this program perfect for us. We'd have far more freedom to just be ourselves than on “Funtime Lunchtime.”
Haruka
Yes, it's not as well-known, but I really want to put who we are at the forefront here.

I like what you just said, Haruka!
Let's go out there and really show everyone who we are!

Show Director
Alright, let me give you all another brief rundown of this program.
Show Director
“The Town Revitalization Team!” is a segment of our show which involves helping towns that ask us to assist in breathing new life into them.
Show Director
We'll be visiting the town of Hanamioka this time around. It has a population of 6,000, so it's quite small. And you ladies will be helping us with...
Show Director
As I mentioned early in our talks, the town marathon.
Show Director
Of course. Hanamioka isn't famous for producing anything in particular, but it's overflowing with natural beauty.
Show Director
The marathon's course is meant to introduce people to the area's charm and spectacular scenery.
Show Director
Unfortunately, they've been struggling to get more people to sign up. With that and a staffing shortage, they decided to ask us for help with their revitalization efforts.
Show Director
Naturally, you'll be helping run things on the day of.
But we'll also need you to help come up with ideas to liven things up, and get everything prepared.

Minori
We've never helped out with a marathon before, but we promise to do what we can for all of Hanamioka's locals!
Show Director
Yes, thank you very much.
Show Director
Obviously, my job is to create content that our viewers will enjoy, but I also want what I do to help people whose homes are struggling.
Show Director
This show's been able to go on for as long as it has because the locals have been so helpful and supportive.
Show Director
So, I hope you'll sincerely think about Hanamioka and the people who live there during your time with us.
Airi
I was honestly a little surprised when I heard that we'd be helping with the town marathon...
Airi
That being said, let's all do our best to shine a light on what makes this place so special!
Haruka
(If we can do that, it'll be the quickest way to move towards realizing our dream.)
