Yes. Despite knowing that we all attend the same school, we never really spoke to each other until we met up on our school's rooftop.
Airi
It really wasn't that long ago, but it sort of feels like it. Minori and Haruka met first, with me and Shizuku joining after that...
Shizuku
Minori first asked us about learning how to dance better in order to pass her auditions, and things started to change quite a bit...
Minori
(Miku and Rin were also important, but I doubt I can really talk about that here...)
Nanamin
Minori, you're the only member of MORE MORE JUMP! without any experience working as an idol, right? Do you ever feel nervous about doing streams with everyone else?
Minori
Hehehe... I'm still a long way behind in terms of my dancing and singing skills too, but I want to keep trying my best to catch up to everyone else...!
Comment
<Yeah, she's always kinda like that lol...>
<Her dance moves do look a little unpolished.>

<If you say so, Haruka.
Is she really that good?>

She may look that way to you, but her determination is unbelievable. She's helped us so much already too... Oh, and she kept on trying even after failing 50 auditions...
Comment
<Seriously?! 50 times?! lol>
<She's cute but sorta plain.>
<That's amazing. She just kept going.>

Shizuku
Well, I wasn't able to enjoy it as much while I was working as an idol, but I'm hoping to be able to show everyone someday.
Comment
<I wanna see that!>
<That's gonna be so cool!>

No, I'm sorry for making you dance on the rug like that. I know that must've been hard...!
Comment
<She started falling apart in the middle.>
<What happened?!>
<I didn't think she'd really trip...>

Airi
Wow, you really took a tumble there! It's like it was right out of a cartoon or something...!
Airi
But let's call it an occupational hazard. Everyone, make sure to be careful when you're dancing too. Right, Shizuku?
Comment
<She should've been able to do at least that.>
<Are you sure the newbie has what it takes?>
<But Minori's trying so hard!>

<I get that she helped Haruka get back on her feet as an idol, but she's still a complete amateur.>
Nanamin
Now, now... I made her do a pretty tough routine and she did great for most of it! I was really impressed too!
Nanamin
And don't forget to give it a try yourselves too☆ I'm sure you'll understand her a little more then!

And I'll be working with her day and night to get her ready! We hope you'll stay tuned, everyone!
