(Haruka was right.
A bunch of groups performed after ReLight, but they ended up leaving the biggest impression.)

(We really can't ask for a better collaboration partner, but the thought of having to dance next to them is starting to feel like a scary prospect...)

(Performing alongside ReLight is a good opportunity for us to improve our singing and dancing skills... But it doesn't look like it's going to be an easy feat.)

ReLight leading off Idol Lovers.
It's so obvious that they're getting special treatment.

I guess that's what happens when you have a famous producer backing you. I mean, they went from zeroes to heroes in seconds. Someone at their agency is definitely the puppet master.
Idols
When you put it that way, is there even any point in trying? Ugh, now I really wish I had joined a different agency.
Airi
(There's no way you can put on a performance like that unless you put in the work and effort. They should know that!)

No, I should be the one apologizing to you! I feel awful about you hearing those rumors about us.

Akari
Also, Momoi, it looked like you were about to go and say something to them... Thank you.
Airi
Regular people spreading around those kinds of rumors is one thing, but we're talking about people in the industry here. Aren't you worried that it's gonna affect your work...?
Akari
Yeah, we are...
And we had a lot of trouble coming to terms with it when it first started happening.

MORE MORE JUMP! hasn't acted this way, but whenever we collaborate with other groups, they often tend to be wary of working with us.

Akari
He's right about us still having a lot of work to do and how we aren't able to reach many people yet. That's on top of all the comments and criticism we get...
Akari
But we only have one goal.
To keep spreading as much hope as we can to as many people as we can.

As long as we focus on that, I'm sure people will start understanding what we're trying to do.

Akari!
Do you have a minute? I wanna make sure we have that one part down.

Akari
Sorry, Momoi, I didn't mean to make you spend your break talking about something so gloomy...
Airi
Actually, you gave me a really valuable piece of information. Good luck with that part by the way.
