We get to appear on a mini-segment for this online show, where we'll apparently showcase trending artists.
KAITO
Wow, this is incredible!
And just the other day, you were all asked to appear on that local radio program out in the country.

Shizuku's commercial must be the reason why the offers are slowly starting to roll back in, yes?
Haruka
Yes. The person who got in touch with us said her commercial was the reason, so it's definitely been having a big impact.
Shizuku
But... I'm so glad that my commercial has led to us receiving offers for work once again.
Shizuku
And I plan on continuing to do everything I can to make sure we get to keep moving forward.
Haruka
(Thank goodness.
There were moments when I genuinely believed that we'd stop receiving offers for good...)

Haruka
But the reason why we stopped receiving offers after Idol Lovers still remains a mystery.

Airi
Right...
To be fair, in show business, it's rare for anyone to get steady work. We might've just had a lucky streak up until that point.

Haruka
Exactly. That's why I'm still wondering...
Why did we suddenly stop receiving offers after that?
Why did we suddenly stop receiving offers after that?
Haruka
Yes, we have started receiving offers again, but it's still a lot less compared to before we performed at Idol Lovers.
Haruka
But I also believe that we each should be doing what we can right now. Saito and I will continue investigating this matter.
Minori
Yeah! We can take care of coming up with ideas and writing scripts while you two investigate!
Airi
Yeah! Based on their proposal, we'll have a bit of time to talk about whatever we want, so we should use that chance to leave our mark!

You too.
And thank you again for attending as well this time. Unfortunately, the others couldn't make it, so you were a big help...

Saito
That's okay. Times like these are what a manager is there for! Don't be afraid to ask me for anything!
Haruka
That reminds me...
With regards to that little dry spell of offers, did you learn anything on your end...?

Saito
No... I tried asking people around the industry, but none of them were able to help.
Haruka
(I even tried asking some of the staff we've worked with in the past between our meetings, but...)

You're going to meet with the others to do a stream after this, yes? I'll be stopping by the store to pick up a few things, so please go on ahead without me.

We tried turning the moves to a well-known idol song into a workout track. What did you all think?
Comments
<That was tough, but it was also fun working out to a song I know!>
<I'm gonna be able to dance like Airi now...!>
<This song sounds so familiar. Where have I heard it before...?>

<This song sounds so familiar. Where have I heard it before...?>
Airi
This song was used for a snack commercial back in the day. We decided to choose it because of its catchy beat and how popular it was back then!
Minori
I remember trying to copy the dance from this commercial when I was in elementary school! I really enjoyed our workout because it felt like such a huge blast from the past!
Comments
<Yeah, you nailed every move.>
<Oh, that commercial! Thank goodness you told us.>
<Speaking of commercials, I saw yours, Shizuku!>

<But... MORE MORE JUMP! isn't on TV as much anymore.>
Comments
<Yeah, does this mean no more variety shows?>
<TV sorta hasn't felt the same lately without you girls.>

Airi
Yeah... It's not always easy to make regular appearances since you need to know the right people and have a fair bit of luck.

Haruka
We also plan to spend more time on these streams to make up for less TV appearances.
Comments
<Yeah, showbiz can be pretty tough...>
<It's cool that you'll be doing more streams.>
<I'm gonna watch your next one in real time too!>

Thanks for all the comments, you guys!
Make sure to stretch so that you don't feel sore tomorrow, okay?

That was a pretty intense workout, so please make sure to cool down properly, everyone.

Some of our viewers have clearly noticed that we haven't been making as many appearances.
Haruka
(But we've already talked to just about everyone who we thought could tell us something.)
