I hope you'll listen!

Minori...

I... I, umm...

M-Minori...

Tongue-tied right out of the gates. That sure is a unique talent.

You can do it, Minori...!

U-Uhh...
I.. I...!

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...!

But things really didn't go all that well... I failed pretty much every audition I applied for...

So, being able to stand here today...
I still can't believe this is really happening right now.

Minori...

U-Uhh...
Everyone who's been following MORE MORE JUMP! since we first formed might already know this...

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

N-No, that's not true!
We know you were doing your best, Minori!

Yeah!

Oh...
Hehe. Thanks!

However, as concerned as I was, I didn't want to give up on my dream. Not only that...

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.

But I...
I had a realization as we kept doing stuff together.

Idols don't just give hope to others!
We're also in a position to receive hope!

Receive hope...?

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...

Oh, and Airi taught me so much leading up to today's performance!

And everyone in SEKAI... No, wait!
I meant all the other idols who've helped me along the way!

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!

<Oh, is she talking about us...?>

<Wow, that's so sweet of her...>

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!

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.

But above all else...
The ones I need to thank the most are...

All of you! The fans!

...!

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!

Oh, also! These adorable outfits that Shizuku designed! We wouldn't be wearing them right now if it weren't for all of you!

They look amazing!

We love them!!
They're so cute!!

Thank you so much!
Again, we can't even begin to show our appreciation...

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...

But each of your calls and cheers means so much to me... They really mean everything.

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!

So, once more...
Thank you all very much!

Thank you too!!

*Sob*
I'm so glad that I kept rooting for you, Minori!! I promise to be your fan forever!!

*Gasp*
Thank you! I'll be looking forward to your continued support!

I don't know what to say...
All your kind words have left me speechless.

And, um... I know I've been talking for a while now... But the person you see standing here today...

She wants to take everything you've given her and make this show as amazing as possible...!

So, uh... How's the show been?!

Amazing!

Yeah...
It's been really amazing...

Hehe. That's great to hear!
Over the course of this show, I've been feeling so much of your energy...

This is what I've always wanted to do... It's been my dream to perform on stage and bring our hearts together.

Each and every one of you helped make that happen. So, to everyone in attendance...

To Airi and Shizuku, who helped prepare me to perform on this stage...

And to my hero...
My role model forever... Haruka...

I appreciate everything you've all done for me! Thank you all so so so much!!

Thank you for giving us such a wonderful speech, Minori...

I-It was?
I'm not sure if what I said just now made any sense.

Hehe. Don't worry.
Just take a look at everyone's faces.

That was awesome!!!

We love MMJ!!!

Thank you, everyone!

The rest of us are well aware that Minori didn't have it easy at first since we all have experience being idols...

But you kept persevering, Minori.
As a result, you gave us an enormous amount of hope and encouragement.

Haruka...

It's the reason why I'm so happy to be standing on this stage with you today. Because I know this solo show is your big moment.

So, let's keep doing our best...
Together!

Oh...

Yeah...

Thank you so much, Haruka!
I finally made it this far.

Don't give up on your dreams, Minorinrin! Here's a bouquet of hope for you! Hello!
I'm Minori Hanasato from MORE MORE JUMP!

I promise to do my absolute best moving forward, and I hope you'll be there to support me!

I'm so moved by just how much Minori's grown as an idol. I think I'm gonna cry...

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.)

(I'm so glad everyone else understands that too. But...)

(I want more and more people to see just how amazing Minori really is...)

Now then...

It's time for our last song!

Get ready, everyone!

This is our surprise to you!
Let's keep raising the energy in this place!

More and more and more!

(My song... It's become the last song of this incredible show...)

(So much happened while writing it too... I caused them so much trouble...)

Thank goodness...

<Hey, you two okay...?>

<*Sob*
Our feelings started to synchronize after watching them all this time...>

<Yeah...
This show... It's way too good...!!>

<Hehe. I know exactly how you feel...
They've become such wonderful idols.>

<Yes, and they've certainly given me quite a bit of hope.>

<Also, I think Minori was spot on about how idols are able to both give and receive hope.>

<I agree.
Idols have a close relationship with their audience...>

<So it's only natural for both parties to cheer for one another. It's really a wonderful thing.>

<I wanna see them grow even more as idols... I wanna see them really make it big...>

<Me too...
And I'm sure they'll be able to spread hope to so many people down the road.>

<Thank you all so much for inviting us to see this incredible show...!>
