(What's going on...?
Mr. Hiiragi pushed for this to happen...?)

TV Station Staff Member's Voice

Listen

But I understand completely why you decided to go with ReLight, Mr. Nakano!
3

TV Station Staff Member's Voice

Listen

On top of being the talk of the town, they've got the backing of a huge agency.
4

TV Station Staff Member's Voice

Listen

So, given the choice between MORE MORE JUMP! and ReLight... It's really a no-brainer, right?
5

Nakano's Voice

Listen

Right...
6

Nakano's Voice

Listen

I still do believe that MORE MORE JUMP! is a great group with a lot of growth potential...
7

Nakano's Voice

Listen

However, if we're thinking about long-term stability, then ReLight is the correct way to go.
8

TV Station Staff Member's Voice

Listen

Exactly. But still...
When's the last time Mr. Hiiragi personally came over to pitch his group?

(He came himself...?)

(That means...)
12

Haruka

Listen

(No, there's nothing strange about a producer coming over to pitch his or her own group...)
13

Haruka

Listen

(If anything, it's perfectly normal to do so since you want them to succeed.)
14

Haruka

Listen

(It doesn't matter if MORE MORE JUMP! is competing for the same spot. I know that.)

(If someone else's actions are behind us not receiving offers during that period...)

Hiiragi

Listen

I can't say I have heard anything.
I'm not sure I can help you.
22

TV Station Staff Member's Voice

Listen

It seems like Mr. Hiiragi has been investing a lot of his time into ReLight after Idol Lovers.
23

Nakano's Voice

Listen

They did start getting a ton of attention after that event. I'd also want to make the most of this opportunity.
24

TV Station Staff Member's Voice

Listen

I agree. In that sense, he really is a savvy producer.
25

Nakano's Voice

Listen

He's always been passionate about what he does.
26

Nakano's Voice

Listen

Between how that event went and Mr. Hiiragi's marketing skills, every show wants ReLight right now.
27

TV Station Staff Member's Voice

Listen

Haha. Very true!
Still...
28

TV Station Staff Member's Voice

Listen

There's also that scary rumor about Mr. Hiiragi. I hope it's not true, but it's probably best not to rock the boat.
29

Haruka

Listen

(What rumor...?)
30

TV Station Staff Member's Voice

Listen

Wait, I have to start getting ready to go location scouting...
31

Nakano's Voice

Listen

I also need to get to the studio...
I'll see you later!
32

TV Station Staff Member's Voice

Listen

Okay, see you!
