Minori
I've been looking up to a certain idol ever since I was little... I've always wanted to be an idol just like her...!

Minori
But things really didn't go all that well... I failed pretty much every audition I applied for...
Minori
So, being able to stand here today...
I still can't believe this is really happening right now.

But I had so much trouble doing anything in the beginning. I felt awful because I thought that I was holding the others back...
Fans
Yeah!

Minori
However, as concerned as I was, I didn't want to give up on my dream. Not only that...
Minori
I really love MORE MORE JUMP!
That's why I decided to do everything I could to make sure we could spread hope to all of you.

Minori
And everyone in MORE MORE JUMP! has given me so much! They taught me everything about being an idol... From how to carry myself emotionally to all the techniques I need to know...
Minori
And everyone in SEKAI... No, wait!
I meant all the other idols who've helped me along the way!

Minori
They helped me as I practiced my dancing, gave me advice when I had something on my mind... And I can't thank them enough for it!
Minori
I need to thank our invited guests for their contributions as well. We're standing here today because you were there for us when we really needed your help!
Minori
All of these people around us have given our group so much... More than I can recall... We appreciate each and every one of you for what you've done.
Minori
We're a little different from the idols you're all probably used to seeing... But we've been able to put on events and other fun activities because of your help!

Minori
And I'm able to stand here today because... Even though I still have a long way to go as an idol, you've been willing to support me.
Minori
I know that I still need a lot of work, so it feels a little strange hearing you all cheer for me...
Minori
But each of your calls and cheers means so much to me... They really mean everything.
Minori
They're like raindrops that fall on my head and fill my heart with joy. Each one makes me want to try just that much harder!

The rest of us are well aware that Minori didn't have it easy at first since we all have experience being idols...
Haruka
But you kept persevering, Minori.
As a result, you gave us an enormous amount of hope and encouragement.

I'm so moved by just how much Minori's grown as an idol. I think I'm gonna cry...
Fans
Yeah, she's pretty great...
It must've been so hard until now since the other members of MMJ are famous idols.

But Minori's different...
She understands why idols are so great. It's like she's growing with us... It's hard not to root for her...

(That's exactly right...
Minori works super hard at everything. She gives you so much energy that there's no way you can't cheer for her.)
