And I have a great feeling the audience agrees.

Chiharu

Listen

You were right, Momoi.
This day's become truly unforgettable.
9

Airi

Listen

Oh, that reminds me.
I need to apologize for saying what I did earlier. I didn't mean to startle any of you.
10

Airi

Listen

I was just having so much fun on stage that I sorta couldn't help myself.
11

Shizuku

Listen

We could tell.
But I thought what you said was wonderful, Airi!
12

Akari

Listen

Me too! When you said that, Ai, I mean...
When you said that, Momoi, you gave everyone a huge boost of energy!
13

Airi

Listen

Now you're exaggerating.
I decided to do that after seeing the way you were all performing—
14

Akari

Listen

No, don't say that!
15

Akari

Listen

Like I said before we went on stage, the last thing I wanted to do during this performance was embarrass all of you.
16

Akari

Listen

Because I knew how incredible you all are...
I knew how unbelievable MORE MORE JUMP! shows are...
17

Haruka

Listen

What...?
18

Yu

Listen

So, I think you can all tell now that Akari's a huge fan of MORE MORE JUMP!
19

Chiharu

Listen

She also helped out with your solo show.
20

Minori

Listen

Wait, you did?!
21

Akari

Listen

W-We can talk about that another time...
22

Akari

Listen

More to the point, I...
After seeing you all perform and spread hope to every member of the audience today...
23

Akari

Listen

We learned so much about the kind of idol group we want to be.

24

Akari

Listen

We wanted to do what you were all doing and spread hope to more and more people. That helped us sing and perform even better...
25

Akari

Listen

We've never been able to connect with an audience the way we just did. It really felt like the best show ever.
26

Akari

Listen

So, I'm really glad we got this chance to perform together! Thank you!
27

Airi

Listen

Enosaki...
28

Airi

Listen

I should be the one thanking you.
29

Airi

Listen

The way you all performed on stage filled us with so much energy and a desire to do better.
30

Airi

Listen

And today, I was able to take a big step toward reaching my goal.
31

Akari

Listen

Your goal...?
32

Airi

Listen

Yeah. And it was made possible by ReLight's performance. You lit a fire inside me.
33

Airi

Listen

So, thank you.
34

Akari

Listen

Momoi...
35

Airi

Listen

But all I did was take a step forward.
I still have a lot of work left to do.
36

Airi

Listen

Also, I feel like there's some greater meaning behind us getting to perform together like this...
37

Airi

Listen

So, let's both keep doing our best as idols to spread hope to as many people as possible!
38

Akari

Listen

Yes, let's!
39

Haruka

Listen

Okay, why don't we excuse ourselves here?
Other groups are still scheduled to perform, so I'd rather not get in their way.
40

Chiharu

Listen

Oh, right.
41

Yu

Listen

Okay. But are you sure you don't need to tell her, Akari...?
42

Akari

Listen

Huh?
43

Yu

Listen

You being a fan of MORE MORE JUMP! is one thing, but your favorite is...
44

Akari

Listen

Ahh! Stop there!
We gotta go! Look, we're getting in everyone's way!

I mean, it's always been my dream to see what it's like from up on that stage.)

51

Airi

Airi

Listen

(So...)

Airi

Listen

(I can't stop. I have to keep going.)

Airi

I need to do everything I can.)

...it sounds to me that Idol Lovers went very well again this year!
57

Talk Show Host

Yes. This year, everyone is talking about ReLight, who has been rocketing up the charts recently, and...

Commentator

MORE MORE JUMP!
The up and coming idols they did that joint performance with, right?
59

Talk Show Host

That's right! I'm sure our viewers have all heard of ReLight by now, but I feel that MORE MORE JUMP! will continue to...
