Some of our first-time viewers even wrote in the comments for us. I felt compelled to do my best to make sure they also got to enjoy themselves.
Airi
However, an increase in viewership means having to think whether or not we can do the same stuff we've been doing moving forward.
Airi
Which is why I'd like to pick back up on the discussion we were having before our stream...
Minori
I-I'm really sorry!
My mom just asked me to go buy some ground beef at the store after she forgot...!

Minori
Apparently, if I don't go, the meat sauce for our pasta's just going to consist of canned tomatoes!
Shizuku
That actually sounds good by itself, but it wouldn't be meat sauce without any meat. You probably should go run to the store for her.

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
The truth is, one of our fans said, “My dream now is to see MMJ perform at the Butokan!”
Haruka
When I saw that, a part of me said, “That'd be really amazing,” while another part of me went, “Not as we currently are.”
Airi
The three of us used to be in famous idol groups, and we're blessed to have fans who've been following us since that time.
Airi
However, that was then and this is now. Not all of our fans ended up making the transition, so there's no way we'll be able to fill 15,000 seats in our current state.
Haruka
Minori's words made me realize that it's not about how many seats we can fill. The old me never worried about anything like that...

Shizuku
Yes, when we started our group, a part of me hoped that we'd get to perform at the Dome as MORE MORE JUMP! someday...
Airi
But it's a great goal...
I mean, what idol wouldn't want to perform at the Dome in front of a full house?

Haruka
Our goal is to spread and inspire hope in as many people as possible. That hasn't changed and it isn't going to anytime soon...
Haruka
Let's go for it. Not “someday”. Now. Let's do everything we can to fill the biggest venue in Japan and spread hope to everyone we meet.
Airi
That's actually kinda funny since a lot of people have been saying that they couldn't get tickets for our solo show. In hindsight, 700 was probably too low.
Airi
I've been chatting with Saito about this, and she thinks that we can expect at least 2,000 for our next event. Maybe even 3,000.
Shizuku
This is incredible...!
It's hard to believe that we're already in a position to do a show at Shibuya Hall...!

We really couldn't have asked for a better start. Honestly, not many idol groups catch fire like this right out of the gates.

Minori
I'm so sorry about what happened yesterday! I feel awful about leaving since we were about to have a really important discussion!
Minori
Yup!
The meat sauce turned out great and the pasta was delicious! So I really appreciate you guys letting me go!

Shizuku
So, after you left, the three of us had a little discussion regarding our future...
Haruka
To be perfectly honest, we weren't sure if we should have such a lofty goal since we just finished putting on our first solo show.
Haruka
Spreading hope to the people who come to see us is important, but so is doing that for everybody in Japan.

However, that's easier said than done.
We're still just getting started as an idol group and are gonna need to jump through a lot of hoops to get there.

Haruka
Me too. Not only that...
I see no problem with us having a dream since it's an idol's duty to spread hope and inspire dreams.

Haruka
And I'm sure our fans will feel very inspired if we find a way to make our dream come true.
Haruka
Let's become top idols, spread hope to as many people as we can and inspire them to dream!
Minori
After reading about how everyone felt about our show and thinking that we could become the best, a part of me began to wonder if I was getting way too ahead of myself...
Minori
Which is why I'm really glad that I worked up the courage to bring it up with all of you. And hearing that you're all in favor of it made me so happy!
