No, this doesn't seem right either...

(I've drawn a few already since coming home, but none of these seem to fit the bill...)

...

(What sort of outfit do I want to design?)

(The others already seemed to know the answer to that question.)

(So, what's the outfit I'm looking for? How am I going to express myself...?)

...

(Unlike the others, I'm not sure I have anything to offer...)

(Even when I was the lead girl for Cheerful * Days, my head was full of just trying to maintain the image they asked me to portray.)

(Now, my fans are willing to see me for who I really am.)

(But I'm neither a top-flight idol, like Haruka, nor an idol who can cheer everybody up, like Airi.)

(Or someone with Minori's determination...)

This is bad. I can't think of anything...

(I really want to hear what Airi thinks, but it'd be rude to call her this late...)

...

Oh...

Miku and the others might still be awake.

Hey, KAITO!
We want to help you with the next show.

Huh? Sure, but what's gotten into you?

The way Minori and the girls have been putting on their own events and designing their own stage outfits got us thinking!

We don't want to “just perform” in events, we want to build them from the ground up!

We've come up with set lists and helped set other things up before, but never from the very start. That's why we want to learn more.

Would you mind...?

I see.
Alright, let's work on the next event together!

Yay!

What should we do first?
Shows are fun and all, but I wanna try doing a meet-and-greet like Minori and the girls♪

Me too! Oh, what if we wore outfits that we don't usually wear?

Yeah, great idea!

Sounds like you have a fun show in store for us.

But before we do that...

Hi, Shizuku!
Welcome!

I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to interrupt your discussion. It sounded very important...

No, that's okay!

What's wrong, Shizuku?

So, the thing is...

I see. And you're having trouble coming up with ideas for a stage outfit.

The other girls seem to know exactly how to express themselves, but I just don't know how to do that it seems.

For the sake of our fans...
For the sake of MORE MORE JUMP!
I want to come up with a good design...

Let me ask you this, Shizuku!

In your mind, what qualifies as a “good design”?

Huh? Well...

Something that lets everyone from MORE MORE JUMP! really shine on stage...

And ideally, something that can spread hope to all of our fans since they've been a massive source of support for us.

Wonderful. It sounds like you have a nice design in mind!

Thank you very much.
But the problem is that I'm having trouble putting my design together onto a sheet of paper.

Oh, okay...
Yeah, that isn't exactly easy.

Hmm...
Isn't there anything you can use as reference...?

Oh, I know.
Shizuku, come with me!

With you? Where?

Hehe. There's something I want to show you♪

Oh, you mean there?
I wanna go too!

Sure, let's go together!
We'll talk later, okay, KAITO?

Of course. Have fun!

Thank you!

Oh wow...!

This is incredible.
Are these all stage outfits and costumes?

Yes! Enough for us, Luka and MEIKO. Oh, Len and KAITO's outfits are here too.

We were just thinking about wearing one of these for our next show!

Hehe. Despite there being so many idol outfits, putting one on always feels like a transformation process.

A transformation process?

That's right♪

Like I'm turning into a different me...
Someone who sparkles and is capable of doing anything.

A different me...?

Oh...

Not only that, Shizuku, all of these outfits and costumes are made of “thoughts and feelings”.

Feelings?

Yes, that's right♪
Because we want everyone to smile. Because we want to inspire hope in them. And because we want to shine...

These are a representation of everyone's thoughts and feelings!

So I'm sure that you'll come up with a wonderful design once you know what kind of message you want your outfit to convey♪

What I want to convey with my outfit...?

I...
