Haruka
Okay, now that we've decided to try to become top idols in order to be able to perform at the Dome...
Minori
Until then, we should probably perform in shows at increasingly bigger venues. Those should work as stepping stones, right?
Shizuku
We were actually thinking that we may be able to put on a show at a slightly bigger venue.
Haruka
At the same time, if we think we can fill 2,000 seats, we could start aiming a little higher.
Airi
We have a big dream now, so if we are aiming to have 10,000 guests... That's about how many the Ryogoku Sumo Arena or Nonogi Gymnasium seat.
Haruka
So, I want to aim for that.
If we're going to perform at the Dome, we should try to perform at the Butokan first.

15,000 people...
It's a huge number, but that's what we gotta go for if we want to be #1!

Shizuku
But that means we'll need to figure out a way to increase our audience size from 700 to 15,000.
Haruka
Our fan base should grow as long as we keep doing streams... However, 15,000 is going to be difficult to reach based on our current rate.
Minori
Does that mean we have to start rethinking how we do our streams? Especially since that one article gave us such a big boost!
Airi
I agree for the most part...
However, we should do some research on each company before we accept any offers.

Haruka
Why don't we take this opportunity to go through them and get ourselves organized...?
Minori
Okay...!
This is so exciting! I can't wait to see who's been trying to reach us since I haven't had a chance to look through all of them...

I'll check the emails. Minori, can you take the DMs? Airi, if you could look through the comments for our streams...

<Dear MORE MORE JUMP!
I'd like to congratulate you all for successfully putting on your first solo show! I was very impressed that you had put on the event all on your own!>

<As it so happens, my company produces a diet supplement called “Super Weight Loss Beauty DX” which allows you to lose 30 kg by taking it each day, and we'd like for you to all advertise it...>
Haruka
If you wanna lose weight, you gotta eat right and get plenty of exercise. There's no such thing as magic diet pills.
Minori
R-Right...
For a second there, I was amazed by how a product like that might be out there.

Airi
Again, before we accept any offers, we need to know who's sending us these offers. If we're not careful, things could get ugly fast.
Shizuku
Us falling victim is one thing, but if we ended up advertising such unwholesome products... I'd really rather not bring harm to anyone.
Airi
*Sigh*
Going through all these messages is hard enough. Weeding out the bad ones is just extra work on top of that.

<I apologize for contacting you so suddenly like this. I work as the producer for “idol Hazard” which is currently airing on Tokyo NX.>
Minori
Have you heard of it, Airi?!
Like this person said, it's a show that airs on Tokyo NX late at night!

Minori
Its full title is “idol Hazard”, but everyone calls it “iHaz”! The MC changes each time since they ask various idols from all these different groups to lead the show...
Minori
It only started airing recently, but a lot of people have been praising it because you get to see all these guest groups interacting with everyone!
Shizuku
<I've actually been watching some of your streams, and my interest in your group has only grown since hearing how you successfully put on your very first solo show.>
Shizuku
<Since then, I've been watching the archive footage of your streams. The fun energy you all exude has become a great source of encouragement for me.>
Shizuku
<I'd really like it if you could share some of that energy with our viewers by appearing on our program.>
Airi
I see...
In short, they want us to appear for their five-minute segment where they feature idols who are currently trending.

Minori
More importantly, this is an amazing opportunity to get our name out there and have more people learn about us!
Airi
I agree. I know it's just a five-minute appearance, but talk about hitting the jackpot.
Haruka
(This producer's pretty famous and sounds very sincere, so I think it's safe to say that it's a real offer.)
Haruka
(Not only that, this is a huge chance for us. I was expecting to start with much smaller offers before tackling something so big...)

Haruka
Yes, a TV appearance may expand our fan base. We've gained a nice following online through our streams, but TV is on a completely different level.
Haruka
What if something one of us says is taken out of context for the purposes of entertainment? Sure, the show may benefit from that...
Haruka
Of course, I understand that not all TV programs are produced in such a way. There are many good things to be had...
Haruka
But appearing on TV means being prepared for such things. That's why I'm having a hard time immediately accepting this offer...
Airi
Now that you mention it...
I remember this one time when they took one of my quips and edited it to make it look like I was bad-mouthing this actor that appeared with us.

Airi
Yeah, things got pretty hectic after it aired. Some of that actor's fans still bring it up from time to time...
Airi
But my fans claimed, “Airi would never say stuff like that,” which helped keep things from really getting out of hand.
Airi
I think the benefits of us appearing on TV outweigh the costs, so I'm in favor of accepting this offer.

Sorry...
I didn't mean to rain on your parade. I know you're all excited about this opportunity.

No, don't say that.
Your opinions are just as valid as ours, so thank you for sharing with us.

She's right!
For stuff like this, we should all be in agreement before we accept or reject...

So, Haruka, feel free to speak your mind. You don't have to hold anything back from us.
