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

Airi
I don't have any questions. What about the rest of you?
Minori
I-I'm okay too!
Our fans should be able to enjoy everything as long as we follow this plan!

Haruka
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!
Everyone
We look forward to seeing you too!
Shizuku
I still can't believe this is all really happening...
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.
Minori
Y-Yeah...
We put in so much time and effort... And now, our show's only a week away.

Minori
I-I'm so nervous!
Haruka
Hehe. That's understandable since this is your very first solo show, Minori.
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.
Shizuku
Thank you very much for doing all this.
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...!

Airi
I guess that part of you is never gonna change, huh?
Saito
Um, well...
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!
Minori
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...
Minori
Our last event...?
Shizuku
Do you mean our Christmas Fan Event?
Saito
Yes, that one!
I was already very interested in this line of work...
I was already very interested in this line of work...
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!
Shizuku
Wow...!
That's so wonderful.
That's so wonderful.
Minori
(Our event helped cultivate her dream...)
Minori
(Wait, this reminds me of...)
Haruka
That's so heartwarming.
Your words mean a lot to us.

Minori
Um... Y-Yeah!
Airi
We'll be rooting for you.
Also, feel free to ask if you ever need any help!

Hearing you say that fills me with so much excitement!

Saito
So, let's make your solo show a big success!
Saito
I promise to run a smooth operation with the staff so that you can all focus on putting on a great performance!
Haruka
Thank you very much.
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!
Haruka, Shizuku & Minori
Yeah!
Stage SEKAI
Rin
Wow...!
You've really got this dance routine down!
You've really got this dance routine down!
MEIKO
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!
Miku
We believe in you!
Haruka
Hehe. Thanks.
Minori
J-Just one more week...
I have to keep trying my best...!
I have to keep trying my best...!
MEIKO
You still seem pretty nervous, Minori.
Airi
Yeah, she's been this way for a while now.
Minori
But I can't help it!
I mean, it's just around the corner! How am I not supposed to feel nervous?!
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
But I believe that there's no need for you to worry so much.
Luka
You've practiced very hard, had a successful training camp and did everything else you could together.
Luka
On top of all that, you've become quite the performer, Minori.
Minori
Wait, I have?
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.

Haruka
Thank you for that, KAITO.
Haruka
With regards to you, Minori...
We all agree with every word they just said.
We all agree with every word they just said.
Minori
Yeah... I know we practiced lots and lots until today, but I can't shake this feeling for some reason, you know...?
Airi
I guess it can't be helped.
Shizuku
Hehe. It is her very first solo show after all. It's only natural to feel a mix of nervousness and excitement.
Minori
Wait, Shizuku, did you also feel the same way?!
Haruka
I feel like everyone goes through this. Doing your first solo show is a pretty big milestone.
Haruka
And I remember also feeling really nervous...
Minori
You too, Haruka...?
Haruka
Yes.
Haruka
But to be fair, I didn't fully understand the power of a solo show until the day it happened.
Minori
The power of a solo show...?
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
However, when we took the stage that day...
Haruka
Alright, get ready for the very first song of our solo show! We hope you all enjoy!
Haruka
(They're roaring... That never happened during our other shows.)
Haruka
(Now I understand...
They all came here today to see us perform. Just ASRUN and ASRUN alone.)
They all came here today to see us perform. Just ASRUN and ASRUN alone.)
Haruka
(And they're waving their glow sticks around in unison. It's like they rehearsed what to do beforehand...)
Haruka
(It's so beautiful...)
ASRUN Fans
Haruka!!
ASRUN Fans
I've been dreaming of this day for so long! Thank you for doing this solo show!
Haruka
(Wow..
They're really here just to see us.)
They're really here just to see us.)
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...)
Haruka
♪————!
Haruka
(This is so much fun.)
Haruka
(They're clapping... But not to our performance... It's like we're singing and dancing to their beat.)
Haruka
(Us, the audience... We're becoming one... I've never experienced anything like this before...)
Haruka
(Now I see...)
Haruka
(They all truly want to see us perform, and we're forging a deep bond as a result. No wonder it feels so different from when we performed alongside other groups...)
Haruka
(This is it...)
Haruka
(This is what it means to do a solo show.)
Haruka
That was how my first solo show went.
Haruka
It felt really special...
And I want you to experience that incredible sensation, Minori.
And I want you to experience that incredible sensation, Minori.
Minori
Forging a deep bond with our fans...
Minori
(That reminds me of the time when...)
Len
Man, I wish we could somehow see your solo show in person.
Luka
I feel the same way.
Unfortunately, that may prove a bit difficult...

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

Miku
R-Really?!
MEIKO
Are you sure?
What if people see us...?
What if people see us...?
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.
Miku
Wow! Thank you, girls...!
Rin
We promise to cheer for you like there's no tomorrow!
KAITO
I know you're nervous, Minori, but please try to enjoy your very first solo show.
Minori
R-Right!
I really appreciate it, KAITO!
I really appreciate it, KAITO!
Minori
I'm gonna do the best I can!
I really wanna make the most of my first solo show since I only get one chance to perform in it!
