(I saw on the website that I'd be sitting pretty close to the stage, but this is better than I expected...!)
Yuina
(I've been a fan of Minori and MORE MORE JUMP! for pretty long now, but their big moment has finally arrived.)
Yuina
(I'm so glad that I get to be here today. I need to cheer for them as much as I can.)
Yuina
(Wait, those people over there...
Isn't that Nanamin and...? Mai?! But she used to be in ASRUN! Does that mean those seats for the invited guests?)

(Most of the audience here seem pretty young, but I'm also seeing some more mature-looking people...)
Mai
Not since we were on that show together as members of ASRUN. It's so nice to see you again!
Nanamin
Hehe. Likewise!
I heard that you've been doing some stage acting. It's great to hear that you're doing so well!

Nanamin
Still, this solo show atmosphere... I don't regret stepping away from being an idol, but this is so nostalgic. I guess I'm never going to not like this feeling.
Mai
I know what you mean.
I sort of envy how they were able to build this from the ground up.

Nanamin
Idols have to deal with a lot, including sometimes not getting along with your fellow groupmates... It really isn't all fun and games.
Mai
Right. But everybody in MMJ seems to really believe in one another. It's so clear just by looking at them.
Nanamin
Yeah, I totally get what you mean.
And it's beyond amazing how they were able to come this far without signing with an agency.

I have a feeling that this show's going become legendary and an opening chapter for MORE MORE JUMP!
Saito
B-5... That will be in the section for invited guests. You'll find it straight ahead.
Saito
(*Sigh*
Alright, we managed to safely move all the guests who were lined up for merchandise over here, so we should be good in terms of prep until the show starts.)

More than usual... No, more than any time I've ever seen her before, it's like she's really trying to draw in our attention today...)

Minori's grown so much...
She seemed pretty out of place at first since she didn't have any experience or name recognition as an idol.

Fans
But she's an essential part of this group now. Plus, she's become a great dancer and singer.
Fans
I know she's been putting a lot of effort into all the streams, but she's probably also been doing a lot behind the scenes...
Fans
That makes me really want to root for her.

We're still a small idol group that's trying to get on its feet, and your support is what made this solo show a reality.

It did, Shizuku!

Yeah, me too.
Your smiles are so bright that they're almost blinding. You've really given us a ton of energy.

The way you shouted out to me during your last show stream gave me the courage to try harder for club. And just the other day, I was able to make a big contribution during a real match...

That's why I want to return the favor, Minori. You helped me so I want to help you!

Okay...
I'll say it in my own words.
