And that is our plan for the day of.
Are there any questions or concerns that you think we should address?

I-I'm okay too!
Our fans should be able to enjoy everything as long as we follow this plan!

I agree.
And since we have arranged enough people to handle the merchandise, I think I'm good.

Saito
Then, I believe that concludes our final meeting before your solo show. I'll be looking forward to seeing you all again on the day!
Airi
Me neither. After our training camp and designing our merch, we've been working so tirelessly for this that I'm getting kind of emotional.
Airi
But I'm really glad we haven't run into any serious problems and that it's actually happening.
Shizuku
Right. And we owe you quite a lot for gathering staff who can set up and run everything, Saito.

*Gasp*
Shizuku just thanked me! To be able to receive such words makes me so happy! No, wait, I'm not worthy of such kindness...!

Saito
If anything, I should be thanking all of you for giving me such a wonderful opportunity that ties directly into what I want to do for a living!
Saito
Yes. I recall telling you all before about how I've been working part-time for a production company while attending university...
Saito
After helping put on your last event, I've decided that I want to assist and support idols for a living...

Saito
But I ended up having so much fun that I found myself wanting to do this for a living.
Saito
It felt like I played an actual role in helping spread hope to others like all of you. That made me feel so happy...!
Saito
And that's what made me want to learn more about this industry! That's why I also began studying how to become a talent manager while really trying to get the most out of my current job!

Saito
I promise to run a smooth operation with the staff so that you can all focus on putting on a great performance!
Airi
Well, if you're willing to give us that kind of guarantee, then we have no choice but to respond accordingly.
Airi
Our very first solo show as MORE MORE JUMP!... Obviously, it's a big deal for our fans, but it means just as much to us and the staff...
Airi
So, let's do our best to make it the best show ever! One that everyone there is gonna enjoy!

And there's just one week left until your solo show, yes? It should go splendidly if you're all in this good of a condition!
Minori
But I can't help it!
I mean, it's just around the corner! How am I not supposed to feel nervous?!

Miku
Hehe. Based on how you're behaving, Minori, it really does feel like your time has finally come!
Luka
You've practiced very hard, had a successful training camp and did everything else you could together.
KAITO
Yes, I agree.
Not just you, Minori. You've all improved so much. So, the only thing left is for you to give the best performance you possibly can while on stage.

Minori
Yeah... I know we practiced lots and lots until today, but I can't shake this feeling for some reason, you know...?
Shizuku
Hehe. It is her very first solo show after all. It's only natural to feel a mix of nervousness and excitement.
Haruka
I feel like everyone goes through this. Doing your first solo show is a pretty big milestone.
Haruka
But to be fair, I didn't fully understand the power of a solo show until the day it happened.

Haruka
After ASRUN released its debut single, we mainly performed in shows alongside other groups.
Haruka
But we were suddenly told that we'd be doing our first solo show... That really took me by surprise...
Haruka
But I thought that it wouldn't be any different from doing a show with another group. I didn't feel nervous at all since I believed that I just had to keep spreading hope to others like before...
Haruka
Alright, get ready for the very first song of our solo show! We hope you all enjoy!

They all came here today to see us perform. Just ASRUN and ASRUN alone.)

Haruka!!
ASRUN Fans
I've been dreaming of this day for so long! Thank you for doing this solo show!
Haruka
(I can tell by their expressions just how much they've been looking forward to this show. They're cheering just for us.)
Haruka
(That means I need to give it absolutely everything I have. This is what they've been waiting for...)

It felt really special...
And I want you to experience that incredible sensation, Minori.

Oh, we've got you covered there.
We're gonna make some space for all of you at the front.

Shizuku
You'll be able to stay hidden because of all the equipment that's going to be around there. We're pretty sure nobody will see you.
Haruka
However, that comes at the cost of not being able to see much else other than the stage. Still, I hope you enjoy our little VIP section.
