Haruka
Okay, let's start streaming.
2
Minori
Thanks for tuning into our stream today, everyone!
3
Airi
This is an “emergency stream”, and as such, we have a special announcement in store for you today!

Comment
<A special announcement? Tell us!>
<Does this mean you're doing an event?!>
5
Shizuku
Yes, that's right.
We'll be holding a real-life event, which means we'll finally get to meet all of you.
6
Comment
<No waaaay!! Really?!>
<I'm for sure going!!>
<Yaaay!!>
7
Haruka
Hehe. I'm glad you're all so excited about it.
8
Airi
It'll be taking place on the fourth Saturday of next month starting at 4:00 pm at the Okuyama Building's basement hall in Shibuya!
9
Shizuku
We apologize for not letting you know sooner, but we managed to book a venue just in time for Christmas.
10
Minori
We'll also be doing a stream on Christmas Day too!
11
Comment
<A Christmas event!>
<I get to meet Shizuku on Christmas.>
<I'll be there, Airi!>
12
Airi
Hehe. Stay tuned and get ready for a great event, you guys!
13
Haruka
There's also something we'd like to ask of you today...
14
Comment
<Ask us? What could it be?>
<I'll do anything! Just ask!>
15
Minori
So, we have a venue and date set, but we're still shorthanded in terms of staff...
16
Minori
If our current situation holds, we'll have to limit the number of people that can attend our event or possibly cancel it.
17
Minori
But we want as many people to come to our event as possible. We want you all to be there!
18
Minori
So...!
19
Minori
If any of you out there would like to join us as staff, we'd really appreciate it!
20
Comment
<What?! Us?!>
<So MMJ's recruiting event staff?>
21
Haruka
I'm sure you all want to enjoy this event as fans instead of staff...
22
Haruka
And we understand that we'd be asking quite a lot from you.
23
Haruka
But as it happens, someone reached out to us when we really didn't know what to do. They offered to help us with this event...
24
Shizuku
Yes, which is why we'd like to ask you as well...
25
Shizuku
If there are any others out there who feel the same way, we'd really appreciate you lending us a hand.
26
Airi
Unfortunately, you won't be able to enjoy the event as part of the crowd and we don't have much to offer in terms of compensation.
27
Airi
But if that's okay with any of you out there, we beg you! Please, help us!
28
Minori
P-Please...!
29
Minori
I want to build this event from the ground up with you guys, and I think it'll be amazing to feel that sense of accomplishment together after it succeeds!
30
Minori
Before, when I used to watch these kinds of events on TV or as part of the audience, I always thought about doing something like this...
31
Minori
So please, help us!!
32
Comment
<I want to help.>
33
Haruka
Oh...
34
Comment
<I'm in a theatre company, so I can help with the lights a little!>
<Where do I sign up?>
35
Comment
<I wanna help but I live too far away!>
<I'm so jealous of the people who can go!>
36
Minori
You guys...!
37
Shizuku
Thank you all so much!
I'm speechless.
38
Airi
We'll attach an application for participating as event staff to this video's description later! Please take a look when you get a chance!
39
Haruka
Everyone...
40
Haruka
Thank you...
41
Minori
Thank you so much!
I think it'll be a wonderful event if we all work together on it!
42
Minori
No, I don't think it... I KNOW it! So let's make it an unforgettable event!
The next day
43
Haruka
There, everything's set...
Let's start our video conference.
44
Minori
Okay!
45
Haruka
Thank you all for showing up today. Again, we apologize for asking you on such short notice.
46
Haruka
But let's do our best to make this event a success!
47
Fans
<Thank you for having us!>
48
Minori
Whoa, all these people came without hesitation... I already see twenty right here...!
49
Airi
Hehe. Looks like you were right, Minori. There were a ton of people out there willing to help us with this.
50
Shizuku
Um, Airi, the volume for the conference seems a bit low. Mind if I turn it up a little?
51
Airi
S-Stop right there! I'll take care of that! You're not touching anything!
52
Shizuku
But...
53
Saito
<Shall we start by discussing what we'll be doing for this event and how to divide up roles?>
54
Haruka
Yes, that sounds good.
About what we'll be doing for this event...
55
Airi
Since we're doing a Christmas event, it'll be good to decorate the stage to really give it some Christmas spirit!
56
Fan A
<What if we also decorated the reception table? I really like mini-Christmas trees and have a whole collection of them!>
57
Shizuku
Oh, that sounds lovely.
I think I'll bring some ornaments from home too.
58
Fan B
<Are we allowed to use everything the venue has? That might change how many decorations we can string up based on what they let us do...>
59
Saito
<We can use everything that's on this list, and I plan to bring in some of my own stuff as well!>
60
Fan B
<Thank you.
That means we should be able to hang quite a lot up on the stage's back wall.>
61
Haruka
Yes, that's a great idea.
We should be able to put together a beautiful backdrop.
62
Minori
Hehe...
63
Minori
(This is incredible...! It feels like our event's really going to succeed now because of our fans!)
The day of the event
Shibuya Okuyama Building - Basement Hall
64
Minori
Whoa...!
65
Minori
It's our event venue...!
It looks so much bigger than the photos online!
66
Shizuku
Yes, quite a bit bigger.
67
Haruka
Alright, let's start by going over the schedule again.
68
Haruka
Our morning will consist of the staff and us setting everything up, and do a rehearsal in the afternoon. The doors will open at 3:00 pm and the show will start at 4:00 pm.
69
Airi
Sounds good!
Did you get a chance to warm up your voice before you got here, Minori?
70
Minori
E-Eep!
71
Shizuku
Hehe. You'll be fine.
Just do what you usually do, okay?
72
Minori
O-Okay...!
Thanks, Shizuku!
73
???
Good morning!
Looks like everyone's here!
74
Haruka
Ah, Saito, good morning.
75
Shizuku
Good morning.
This feels so strange. It's our first time meeting in real life even though we've met previously online...
76
Saito
Ah, my goddess...!!
77
Minori
G-Goddess?!
78
Saito
P-Pardon me! It's just, I've always been a fan of yours, Shizuku, and I never imagined being able to talk to you up close like this...!!
79
Airi
There's just something about you and eccentric fans...
80
Shizuku
Hehe. Thank you for being such an avid supporter. I look forward to working with you today, Saito.
81
Saito
L-Likewise...!!
82
Saito
Phew... Pardon my indiscretion.
I promise to do my best to lead everyone today and not let my personal business get in the way!
83
Haruka
Thank you very much.
Now, why don't we go meet the other staff members? You said we have 26 in total today, right, Saito?
84
Saito
Oh, there's one more coming in the afternoon based on what they said on their application form!
85
Saito
They're busy in the morning but really wanted to participate as staff at least in the afternoon if possible.
86
Minori
That's great!
It's so nice to hear that they're so motivated.
87
Shizuku
Yes, and we should also do our best to meet their expectations.
88
Airi
Alright, let's head over!
89
Minori
Okay!
90
Minori
(It's really about to start.
Our very own event as MORE MORE JUMP!)
91
Minori
Alright, I have to give it everything I've got!
92
Haruka
Thank for you joining us today, everyone.
Let's all put our best foot forward today!
93
Fans
Yeah!
94
Saito
Let's start by getting everything set up!
You all probably know that this won't be easy, so please be sure to lend each other a hand whenever possible.
95
Saito
We'll now split into our roles as we've discussed, starting with the reception group and the stage group.
96
Fans
<Thank you for having us!>
