Haruka and Minori sounded really excited. And so am I now that we have a meeting date set.
Airi
Same...
Minori's apparently so excited that she's been practicing talking every night with her plushies.

About having to appear with Cheerful * Days. You made it seem like everything was fine when Minori and Haruka were with us...
Airi
But my guess is that you don't feel great about this. I mean, they essentially chased you out after saying some really horrible stuff about you...
Airi
No, it's not just that...
You also have to keep smiling while in front of the cameras...

Airi
There's no way that's gonna be easy for you. It might feel like ancient history at this point, but you'll be reopening some old and ugly wounds.
Airi
If any part of you is afraid that you're going to ruin our TV appearance... Get that out of your head and don't worry about it.
Shizuku
Nothing will change if I decide not to do this TV appearance with Cheerful * Days.
Shizuku
And if nothing changes...
I'll keep having reservations about Cheerful * Days, which will force you all to keep worrying about how I feel...

If we all appear together alongside them and make our segment really fun, that may actually in turn help remedy our worries.
Shizuku
More importantly, I want to do everything I can to ensure that our first TV appearance goes well.
Airi
MORE MORE JUMP! is making its very first TV appearance... I know our segment's short, but people are gonna remember who we are!

It's okay, Minori.
Whenever you feel this way, just close your eyes and try to focus on yourself.

Shizuku
Yes. Try to focus on what you want to do for this TV appearance and set everything else aside.
Shizuku
For example, it's good to think of multiple ways to answer each question. Do you know what you're hoping to talk about?
Minori
Oh, um... So...
My guess is that they're gonna ask us about how our solo show went...

Minori
Which is when I want to show my appreciation for everyone who came to see us and those who've been supporting us.
Minori
And I have a feeling they're gonna ask us about our outfits. If they do, I really wanna talk about the fans who made them for us.
Shizuku
In summary, Minori, you mainly wish to show our fans just how much we appreciate them...?
Minori
Yeah...
Also, if some people decide to become our fans after seeing us on this program...

Minori
I want to tell them that I'm gonna work really hard to inspire hope in them and wish for their support!
Minori
Huh...? Whoa, you're right!
My heart's still beating pretty hard, but I feel a lot calmer now!

Hehe. I'm glad to hear that.
I was also really nervous during my first meeting for a TV show, so I know how you feel right now, Minori.
