Haruka
“Thank you so much for putting on a solo show! I'm so happy to have been your fan and see you all come this far!”
Haruka
All of these letters are so heartwarming. It's really nice to see that everyone genuinely enjoyed our show...
Haruka
But I wasn't expecting that we'd receive this many... Thank goodness we decided to use an anonymous forwarding service.
Haruka
Still, it's always nice to receive these...

Every envelope's really unique and cute.

Fan Letter
“Dear MMJ,
Congratulations on a successful solo show! I couldn't believe what I witnessed! I honestly thought I was dreaming!”
Congratulations on a successful solo show! I couldn't believe what I witnessed! I honestly thought I was dreaming!”
Fan Letter
“I've actually been a big fan since when you were still in ASRUN. Unfortunately, I wasn't allowed to go to any shows since I was still in elementary school.”
Fan Letter
“When I entered junior high school, I thought my chance finally came... But you retired before I could, which made me so sad...”
Fan Letter
“I'd sort of given up hope until I heard about your solo show. Seeing your dazzling smile in person made me so incredibly happy!”
Fan Letter
“Thanks to that, I know that I'm going to be able to do my best tomorrow!”
Fan Letter
“You were the reason I started watching MMJ's streams, Haruka, and since I've come to love all of you, being able to see MMJ's first solo show live was beyond exhilarating...”
Fan Letter
“I want more and more people to learn about MMJ. Also...”
Fan Letter
“My dream now is to see MMJ perform at the Butokan! I can't wait for when you all get your big chance to perform on a big stage!”
Haruka
Only the best of the best get to perform there, and our fans are hoping that we get to stand on that stage.
Haruka
ASRUN becoming popular enough to perform there in front of all those people made me realize just how much support they'd given us until that point...
Haruka
(You only get to perform at the Butokan after going through a judging process that requires artists to have a certain amount of name recognition and skill. And above all else, the ability to fill 15,000 seats.)
Haruka
(We're a couple of zeroes off since we just managed to put on a show for 700. I suppose the only way for us to get there is to gradually work our way up...)

Shizuku
They were filled with so many kind words. Some were addressed to you, so I hope you get a chance to go through them.
Haruka
Hehe. Some of the ones I read were addressed to you, Shizuku. It's always fun to get the letters from your fans since they're so passionate.
Airi
Still, I really wasn't expecting to get this kind of response. I mean, we got so many letters that we had to split them into piles for each of us to read.
Haruka
We've even started receiving offers for work, including interviews for magazines and short radio segments.
Minori
I still can't believe it.
I mean, the only offer we received until now was to perform at that elementary school.

Airi
I have a feeling that it's because our show was picked up by some online news outlets.
Airi
The three of us are idols who left their last groups... In essence, we went off the beaten path and managed to put on a successful solo show without the support of an agency.
Airi
That definitely makes for a good headline, but the article itself was a bit fluffed up...
Airi
This is actually a good opportunity for us to think about our roots and decide what we're going to do moving forward.
Airi
Now that we've taken the huge step of putting on a solo show, we need to figure out what our next big goal is gonna be... And what we're gonna do to make it happen...

Minori
So, after I got home once our show was done, I searched online to see what people thought of it...
Minori
One person said, “I want you girls to do shows everywhere,” and another, “I want more people to learn about you girls.”
Minori
Exactly...
Which is why I'm thinking that we should try doing what they're asking...

Minori
Let's try performing in all sorts of different places and get people to know that MORE MORE JUMP! is here to stay.
Minori
I want to spread hope to everyone in Japan... Just like how ASRUN did with me when I saw them for the first time!
Minori
Seeing so many people smiling during our show filled me with so much joy... And it made me really glad that we never stopped trying.

Minori
So, I'm gonna keep trying...
My feelings from before haven't changed. I want to spread hope to everybody we meet.

<They're such an amazing group. I want more people to know about them.>
<They just gotta keep advertising themselves. That should get the ball rolling in terms of their popularity.>
<I know it's easier said than done, but they should do a show at the Dome.>

Minori
Our fans are hoping that we'll be able to stand on the biggest stage and spread hope to more and more people!
Minori
So, I want us to seriously try to become idols who are able to perform at Japan's biggest venues, like the Dome...

Haruka
I think I'm right in saying that the three of us also want to spread hope to as many people as possible.
Haruka
However, going for the top...
I have a feeling that we're going to want to give that more thought given our current situation...

Yeah...
That's a pretty lofty goal since we just finished putting on our first solo show.

Wait, it's already this late?!
We need to get ready for our “Post Solo Show Stream”!
