Airi Momoi's here!

Good morning!
I'm really looking forward to working with all of you today!

(I knew coming into this, but it's really just wall-to-wall A-listers...!)

(The MC for this show's an incredibly famous comedian too, but here I am, some no-name idol...)

(But I won't let how I feel get in the way. I put so much effort into memorizing the script, so my parts need to be flawless!)

Let's begin our Frankly Frank Talk...!
Our guest today is some girl we found outside, Airi Momoi!

Hi! I'm Airi Momoi... Wait, what do you mean, Some girl?!

I really am an idol!
I perform in a group called QT.

You are? But my script says that you're a plain-old nobody...

Who wrote this script?! Stand up, I dare you! Explain exactly how I'm a nobody!

Hahaha!
This girl's great!

(Geez, I almost froze up there...
No one said anything about going off-script this early.)

(But we're off to a good start and I got a good comeback in. Just follow the conversation and go with the flow from here!)

Airi, check it out!
You got invited onto another variety show.

I did? Wait, Morning Kids Station and The Wide World of Laughs...?! These are really famous shows!

Oh, The Wide World of Laughs is having a sports competition? They're doing a scavenger hunt, a giant-ball rolling event...

This is your chance to take center stage and really up QT's name recognition! We're counting on you!

(Yeah, true...
If I do well here and get our name out there, a big tour might not be out of the question...!)

Alright, I'll do it.
Leave everything to me!

Thanks for waiting, you guys!
The Masked Variety Idol, Happy Everyday has arrived!

Oh, it's Happy Everyday...!
Sorry, Airi, you're still pretty clearly you...

No, I'm Happy Everyday!

Well, if you say so. I guess we can't really argue.

No two idols are the same, huh?
Wait, does this even count as idol work?

(Oh...)

Do not underestimate me!
Knowing how to make people laugh is all a part of being a great idol!

Hang on, isn't that our job?

Ugh, enough!
Unless you want... A Happy Idol Punch!

Haha. An idol that punches people?! Classic!

Please take a quick break while we perform some equipment checks!

Alright, just a little more and then we're done...

(The other QT girls should be doing that mini-event right now. I wish I could've gone...)

But I have to do my best here...!

Hm? They're doing a shoot in a place like this? Hold on...! Isn't that Happy Everyday?

Huh...?

Are they on break or something?
Maybe she'll talk to us!

Huh? Do you like Happy Everyday that much?

No, not really.
But it's not every day that you get to meet celebrities, right♪

Still, it's amazing how she does all her own stunts. I'd probably be too scared or embarrassed if I were in her shows.

Oh...

Pipe down, will you... She'll hear us...

What? She wouldn't mind, right? I mean, everybody makes fun of her already.

At this point, that's kind of her job, isn't it? She'd have nothing to do if nobody was there to push her buttons.

Yeah, I guess you're right...

Hey, I see a bunch of comedians over there! Let's go get some autographs!

Huh? Whoa, wait for me!

...

No, I can't let something like that get me down...

I'm gonna be a super idol who can spread hope by singing, dancing and MCing! This is just a little detour!

So I can't let what they said...

Are you okay, Airi?
You look so tired lately.

You have morning shoots on top of your regular shows, right? Have you been getting enough sleep?

Haha. I'm fine, really...
I have more stamina than most people so...!

If you say so...

The QT meet and greet will begin momentarily!
We ask that you be patient for just a little while longer!

Oh, our meet and greet's about to start! Smile, Airi, smile♪

(Hehe. Today will be the first time in a while that I met our fans!)

(I've been through a lot already, but this is the reason why we do this...!)

Let's begin our meet and greet.
Please line up in an orderly manner.

Hi, Airi!

Oh, it's you! Sanae, right?
We met during our last meet and greet!
Thank you so much for coming!

You remembered me?! Thank you!
I don't know what to say!

I've been seeing you on TV a lot lately! I couldn't stop laughing that time you did ten bungee jumps in a row!

Sorry, time's up!

Good luck, Airi!
I'll be cheering you on!

Thanks!
I hope we see each other again!

Airi, Happy Everyday's been such a huge hit! All the boys in my class have been copying you!

Are you pretty close with that one comedian?

The gag you did on that one show was hilarious! Hey, can you try doing it right now?!

Thanks for coming...!

Sorry, can I get a drink of water before I see my next guest...?

Yes, of course!

Man...

(Last time, everyone asked me questions about our shows. Today's just been TV this and TV that...)

(I get that me being absent from so many of our shows isn't helping but...)

Yu Yu, long time no see!

Oh...

The mini-event you did the other day was so good! Your solo during your new song was so amazing!

(Wait, she came to see me earlier...)

Every time I see you perform, Yu Yu, I'm filled with so much hope! It's like I know tomorrow's going to be a wonderful day! Thank you for everything!

You're very welcome!
I really appreciate your support!

(Tomorrow's going to be a wonderful day, huh...?)

I'm gonna put everything into my singing, dancing and MCing because I want everyone here to have the time of their lives!

I want to spread hope and make them believe that tomorrow will be better!

That's the kind of super idol I want to become!

(Where's that girl now...?)

(Am I delivering hope to people like I said I would...?)

Nope...

(But making people smile is an idol's job.)

(It's not what I envisioned, but as long as I keep trying, maybe someday I'll...!)

Yes, that's right. I'd like Airi to start focusing on becoming more of a variety show personality...

Honestly, as an idol, she's pretty run of the mill, so I'd like to shift her work away from that...
