Thank you all for your patience!
I've finished registering us, so let's make our way inside.
2

Haruka

Listen

Thank you for taking care of that, Saito.

Saito

Listen

Not a problem! Still, this orientation event is bigger than I was anticipating...
4

Airi

Listen

Same here. I'm seeing a lot of reporters and photographers, not just the idols and staff.
5

Airi

Listen

I guess it means the Lumina Grand Prix is just that big a deal.
6

Minori

Listen

*Gasp*
Look, it's...!
7

Shizuku

Listen

Is that Arisa...?
8

Airi

Listen

Huh?
9

Haruka

Listen

I see... The members of ReLight and Cheerful * Days are also here.
10

Airi

Listen

Yeah. That was probably to be expected, but...
11

???

Listen

Good morning, everyone!!!
12

???

Listen

I'm Hikarin, the biggest idol in the galaxy☆ My smile has the power to brighten up the entire universe!
13

Hikarin

Listen

All you reporters out there better get pictures of me now, because I might just end up this competition's dark-horse winner!

Haruka

Listen

Is she new? It's nice how peppy she is.
15

Minori

Listen

D-Do you think we should introduce ourselves like that too...?!
16

Airi

Listen

No need for that, so try to calm down.
17

Airi

Listen

(There really are all sorts of different idols here...
Some from the underground scene, and plenty of others I'm seeing for the first time. They're all unique, from their personalities to their experience level.)
18

Airi

Listen

(The only thing we all have in common is that we were sent invitations by Ms. Arisawa...)

19

Minori

Listen

So, your true identity is the legendary idol, Hinako Arisawa...
20

Minori

Listen

And you're organizing a program called the Lumina Grand Prix...?!
21

Airi

Listen

(“A program that decides who the best idols are.”)
22

Airi

Listen

(In other words, we'd be competing against other idols to see who's number one.)
23

Arisawa

Listen

I apologize if I startled all of you.
24

Arisawa

Listen

But I'd appreciate it very much if you all attended the orientation session and heard more.
25

Haruka

Listen

Orientation?
26

Arisawa

Listen

Yes. It should give MORE MORE JUMP! a chance to see whether or not this program's goals align with your own.
27

Arisawa

Listen

I'd like for you to have that opportunity before you make a decision.
28

Airi

Listen

(Our goal as a group is to spread more hope than anyone else...)
29

Airi

Listen

(We've been doing everything we can up until now to make that happen.)
30

Airi

Listen

(While that's led to offers trickling back in, there's no denying that we're still in a tough spot...)
31

Airi

Listen

(So, we need to see if this is our opportunity to turn things around.)

Thank you all for being here today.
33

Arisawa

My name is Hinako Arisawa, and I'm the organizer of this program. I hope this orientation proves fruitful for you all.
34

Airi

Listen

...!
35

Minori

Listen

Ms. Arisawa...!
36

Arisawa

Listen

At any rate, I'll jump right in by explaining what the Lumina Grand Prix is all about.

37

Arisawa

Listen

The overall concept is “a program that decides who the best idols are.”
38

Arisawa

Listen

I'm sure many of you are here today because you were drawn to that thought.
39

Arisawa

Listen

As a television program, the Lumina Grand Prix is a competition between idols all striving for the top...
40

Arisawa

Listen

But that's all set up for the viewers' entertainment. It is not the true goal of this program.
41

Airi

Listen

(What?)
42

Arisawa

Listen

Before we move to the finer details, I'd like to first discuss why I decided to create this program...
43

Arisawa

Listen

Through this competition...
44

Arisawa

Listen

I'm hoping to bring out the “true idols” in each of you. For everyone in the country... No, for everyone around the world to see.
