Haruka's Room
Haruka: 97, 98, 99, 100... Okay, that's enough sit-ups. Haruka: (I'm done working out for today, so I think I'll take a bath now.)*Ping*
Haruka: Hm? A message? Haruka: Oh, it's from Mai...
Mai: <Evening, Haruka! How have you been?> Mai: <I'll be performing in a new show. I hope you get a chance to drop in for a look! It's scheduled for...> Haruka: She's performing at the Miyamasuzaka South Hall... That means I could stop by after practice. Haruka: <I hope practice is going well. I should be able to make that showing, so break a leg.>*Tapping*
Haruka: (I'm glad Mai's doing so well for herself...)
Mai: Why?! Why can't I sing anymore?! It's not fair! Mai: I worked so hard. I never gave up, and now this happens?! Haruka: Mai... Mai: Haruka... You're a liar! Haruka: (But now...)*Ping*
Mai: <Thanks, Haruka! I'll do my best!> Haruka: Good for you, Mai... Haruka: This means I need to keep trying my best too. Haruka: (I caused her, ASRUN and our agency so much trouble that time... And above all else, I ended up causing trouble for all of our fans...) Haruka: (But now, I'm back to being an idol.) Haruka: (I have to keep trying and keep spreading hope to my fans and the fans of MORE MORE JUMP!) Haruka: Oh, before I take a bath, I should go over what we'll be doing for tomorrow's stream... Haruka: We'll finally be unveiling the stage outfits our fans made for us, but we start by...
Miyamasuzaka Girls Academy - Rooftop
Miyamasuzaka Girls Academy - Rooftop
Haruka: Okay, let's start on the count of three. Are you ready, viewers? Comment: <Yeah!> <New stage outfits!> <I can't wait!> Haruka: Hehe. I take it we're all ready as well? Shizuku: Yes! Ready whenever. Minori: I've been looking forward to seeing how the outfits you designed turned out, Shizuku...! Airi: Yeah, this is a pretty big moment♪ Let's start counting, everyone! Haruka: Okay. One, two... Three!*Rustling*
Shizuku: Oh wow...! Minori: Wow! They're so cute! Comment: <They're adorable!> <Totally divine!> <These look awesome!> Minori: Look! Look! The skirt on mine's as fluffy as a bunch of feathers! Shizuku: You're right...! These turned out so much better than what I initially drew. Airi: Yeah, we're gonna look amazing on stage with these! Haruka: Definitely. Not only that, it's clear that each outfit's been painstakingly made with great care. Shizuku: Thank you all so much for putting together such wonderful outfits for us...! Shizuku: We promise to use these to keep trying our best and spreading as much hope as possible. Comment: <Woohoo! Sooo worth the effort!> <^^^You did an awesome job!> <They look professionally made!> Minori: I know, right?! “Professional” might even be an understatement! Airi: We've sent our dressmakers out there a little something as a token of our appreciation! We hope you like what we got you all! Comment: <Thanks! I'm looking forward to it!> <We're so glad that you like them so much!> Haruka: Hehe. Haruka: (I was pretty worried about asking our fans to help us like this...) Haruka: (But it feels like we're heading in the right direction thanks to them.) Haruka: (All their comments, the way they helped us put on our event, and now, these stage outfits...) Haruka: (They've given us so much already. We have to respond by doing everything we can for them...!) Haruka: (Once this stream's over, we can start thinking about our next...) Comment: <I wanna hear you girls sing a new song while wearing these outfits!!> Haruka: Oh... Comment: <Yeah! Everyone would go nuts if you sang a new song!> Comment: <I wanna see you sing a new song in person!> Haruka: (They want us to sing a new song during our next show...) Haruka: (A new song...)
???

???: This stream was really good too... Their new outfits looked so cute... Haruka, the others and everyone who made them sounded so happy too... ???: That reminds me of how they had fans help put on an event in real life just the other day. ???: I wish I could help them out somehow... ???: What could I do for them...?

Miku: Whoa...! Those look adorable! They all look so well made too!
Luka: Yes, you should have no trouble dancing in these since they made them using a slightly elastic fabric, and this tulle's so pretty.
KAITO: They must've put so much care into making these. It's clear just based on the attention to detail. Minori: I know, right?! I almost cried after I saw how amazing these were...! Shizuku: Yes. I really couldn't be happier... Shizuku: It was my first time designing anything, so I was worried about how these would turn out after they started taking shape. Shizuku: But the dressmakers were nice enough to give me all these suggestions and ideas to make everything look better... Shizuku: And thanks to them, these turned out so much better than what I originally designed. Airi: Shizuku... Shizuku: I wouldn't have been able to make these on my own, so I feel the utmost appreciation for our fans. Haruka: Me too. And we'll need to do our best to make it worth the effort for them. Minori: Yeah! Minori: Oh, so next... We're doing a show, right...?!
Rin: Yeah, that sounds amazing!
Len: Your fans might not know what to do with themselves when they see you perform in these. Airi: Speaking of which, one person wrote a comment that said, “I wanna see you sing a new song in person!” Haruka: (A new song...) Haruka: Yeah, it'd be great if we could get something ready in time for our next show... Airi: Sure, if we can that is... Rin: Huh? Minori: Oh, right...! I completely forgot... Minori: Until now, we've only been singing songs that were born in SEKAI or covers of existing ones... Airi: Exactly. We're gonna have to ask someone to write something for us if we want to release a new song as MORE MORE JUMP! Haruka: It'd be nice if we could write one ourselves. Minori: Th-Then, wanna try writing one...?! Airi: FYI, none of us have any experience with that. Do you just know how long it takes to put an actual song together? Minori: Right... Shizuku: If only we could write our own songs like Shii and her band... Haruka: Learning from people with songwriting experience, like Hoshino and her band, could make a difference, but I don't want to get in their way either. Haruka: Which probably means asking someone to write one for us is our most realistic option. Airi: Yeah. If that's the case, it's gonna take a good while to get the ball rolling since we'd have a lot to discuss beforehand. Minori: Okay... Airi: Hey, chin up! Yes, I said that it won't be easy, but I didn't say that it's gonna be impossible! Haruka: Right. Airi and I feel the same way about wanting to get a new song ready for our next show. Haruka: But this will be our first time asking someone to do this for us, so I'll try doing some research on my end. Haruka: In the meantime, why don't we try coming up with some ideas regarding what kind of song we want to have written? Minori: Thanks, Haruka...! Shizuku: I'll try asking around too. Let's do everything we can for our fans' sake. Airi: Yeah, but we need to do this right, so let's take it one step at a time! Haruka, Minori & Shizuku: Yeah! Okay!*Typing*
???: I... I actually sent that email...! ???: What if they're really bothered by it...? But... ???: I want to be able to help them out somehow... Haruka: This order form template should work... Haruka: (I know how much this could potentially cost now, so all that's left is for us to come up with a theme for our song.) Haruka: (But the question is who to ask...) Haruka: (Ideally, we can find someone who understands who we are as a group...)*Ping*
Haruka: Hm? An email? At this time...? And it's addressed to MORE MORE JUMP!*Click*

Hasegawa: <H-Hello...! My name is Riho Hasegawa. Thank you all for having me today!> Haruka: I'm Haruka Kiritani. Thank you for sending us that email. We really appreciate your offer. Hasegawa: <No, I just...! In any case, again, thank you!> Hasegawa: <*Sigh* I still can't believe I get to write a song for MORE MORE JUMP!> Airi: Hehe. We're happy to hear that you're so excited about this. Airi: Still, you really took us by surprise. Just as we were talking about our new song, your email pops into our inbox. Minori: Yeah! A few days earlier
A few days earlier
Airi: What?! Someone actually sent us an email saying they want to write a song for us?! Haruka: Last night. They even included a URL for another one of their songs, and I gave it a listen... Minori: What was it like? Haruka: Hmm... How do I describe it...? Haruka: It might be quicker to just listen to it. Mind if I just play it right now...? Airi: Yeah, sure. Shizuku: I can't wait to hear what it's like. Haruka: And play... Minori: Whoa...! This song... It's dazzling...! Shizuku: Yes, it's so bright and cheerful too! Airi: It's a little rough around the edges, but it's a great song! And it suits us so well as a group! Haruka: I thought so too. Not only that... Haruka: I feel hope in this song. I feel like I can keep going and try my best tomorrow... Airi: I say let's go for it. I have a feeling this person can write the perfect song for us. Minori: This song even feels like it's worth covering too! Haruka: I agree. Since we've reached a decision, let's ask this person, Hasegawa, about writing a song for us... Haruka: Also, I've come up with something in terms of how to compensate them. Mind telling me what you all think? Shizuku: Of course! Let's discuss that before classes begin! Airi & Minori: “Yeah!” Haruka: We all really liked the song you sent us... Haruka: I even went back to find your other videos and gave them a listen... Each song was so wonderful and they all felt like they were full of so much hope... Hasegawa: <Thank you very much...! H-Haruka, I can't believe you're praising them like this...!> Haruka: Huh? Hasegawa: <Oh no...! I-I'm so sorry, Kiritani! The thing is... I've been a fan of yours forever...> Haruka: Forever? Hasegawa: <Y-Yes...! The way you said, “I'm here to give everyone hope for a better tomorrow!” was so cool...> Hasegawa: <That was when I decided to start making songs that have the power to give all their listeners belief in a “better tomorrow”...!> Haruka: I see... Hasegawa: <That being said, not many people are listening to my songs based on my videos' low view counts...> Hasegawa: <Regardless... I still can't believe that you said you felt hope in my music, Kiritani!> Haruka: Now it makes sense... In that case, please allow me to thank you. Haruka: I couldn't be happier knowing that you remembered what I said back then and made it a core tenet of your music. Hasegawa: <...!> Minori: I know exactly how you feel, Hasegawa...! What Haruka said was so amazing! Airi: Especially since Haruka's the reason why you wanted to become an idol in the first place, Minori. You want to spread hope and make everyone believe in a better tomorrow just like her, right? Minori: Yeah! Shizuku: In that sense, Minori, you and Hasegawa are like two peas in a pod. Hasegawa: <Hanasato and I are...?! B-But... I'm just...!> Minori: No, please! It's not like I know how to write songs...! Haruka: Hehe. Haruka: (Yeah, I see why we were so drawn to Hasegawa's music now...) Haruka: (She's just like us. She wants genuinely wants everyone to believe in a “better tomorrow”.) Hasegawa: <So... Everyone from MORE MORE JUMP!> Hasegawa: <M-My songs don't get very many views and I'm not exactly a pro who can create amazing songs.> Hasegawa: <But... I promise to do everything I can to spread hope to everyone who listens...! I'm really looking forward to this opportunity to work with you!> Haruka: Thank you! So are we.
Hasegawa: <I see... A song that shows just how much you appreciate all the fans who've been supporting you.> Haruka: Yes. We're here purely because of all of the support they've given us. Haruka: For our first show on our own, we want to express our appreciation for them. Hasegawa: <Understood!> Hasegawa: <How about we have a slow tempo for each verse to get your feelings across while making the chorus cheerful and easy to sing together? For example...> Minori: Wow! Wait, you can come up with melodies just like that?! Hasegawa: <Well, it's just a rough idea of what I thought it'd sound like...!> Shizuku: But it's so wonderful. Plus, the key you chose sounds just right and easy for us to sing. Airi: Yeah. Personally, I'd kinda prefer it if it were a little higher. Hasegawa: <Yes! Oh, but it might become difficult to sing if we raise it too high...> Hasegawa: <So, if you don't mind, would it be alright if you told me more about your vocal ranges?> Minori: Vocal ranges? Shizuku: How high or low your voice can go. Most singers usually need to know how high they can sing using what kind of voice. Haruka: Without knowing that, you could end up with a song that goes higher than you expect. Minori: Oh, okay! Airi: But I don't even remember my own range. The last time I checked was so long ago... Haruka: It's been a while for me too, so there's a good chance that my range has changed... Hasegawa: <In that case, would it be alright if you try using this app that makes it easy to check and sending me your results?> Hasegawa: <You'll need to sing using your modal voice, using your falsetto and, if possible, a mixed voice.> Minori: A mixed voice? Shizuku: In other words, somewhere between those two vocal registers, yes...? Airi: Hmm... Yeah, it's kinda hard to explain... Haruka: That's accomplished by stretching your vocal cords like you're using your falsetto but actually making all of your vocal cords vibrate. Minori: S-Stretch and... Vibrate...? Airi: That might've just made things more confusing... Hasegawa: <Um...> Hasegawa: <If there's anything that's giving you trouble, would you like it if I helped...?> Haruka: Oh, are you sure? Hasegawa: <Yes. I've studied vocal music a little bit, and I live right near Shibuya so I can meet at a moment's notice...> Minori: Th-Thank you so much! Haruka: We really appreciate it. We'll let you know once we've found a good place to record. Hasegawa: <Okay. I'll be looking forward to it!>Transcripción

Airi: A karaoke place was a good idea since it'd have let us sing without causing a disturbance, but... Airi: Why are they closed today?! Haruka: For electrical maintenance it looks like. Minori: Talk about bad timing... Wait, is this because my luck's so terrible...?! Shizuku: Don't worry, Minori, I'm sure this is just happenstance. Shizuku: So why don't we just try a different karaoke place? There should be several more around here. Airi: But it's Sunday, so most places are gonna be packed. See all the people waiting to get into those ones? That's why I was betting on my usual hole-in-the-wall... Haruka: The rehearsal studios are probably all full too. Plus, it's almost time for... Hasegawa: Oh... H-Hello, everyone!*Hurried Footsteps*
Minori: Hasegawa's here! Hasegawa: Thank you all for waiting! I-I've been looking forward to today! Haruka: Allow us to thank you again for meeting us like this, Hasegawa. Unfortunately, you may've come all this way for... Hasegawa: Huh?
Hasegawa: I see... That is unfortunate. Haruka: Again, we're sorry for making you go through all this trouble. Hasegawa: No, I live just right there, so it's okay! Really! Minori: *Sigh* I woke up really early today to warm up my voice too... Airi: Oh, you. But we don't have much of a choice, huh? Let's just figure out another time to do this and... Hasegawa: Um... Hasegawa: Well... If it's okay with all of you, would you like to come over to my place? Shizuku: Huh? Your place? Hasegawa: Yes...! I should have enough equipment to make it possible for me to check your vocal ranges. Shizuku: Still, are you sure... Won't the rest of your family be there too? Hasegawa: They should be out today. But my room may seem a bit cramped if that's alright... Haruka: (As idols, I feel like we should avoid going over to the house of someone we just met...)
Hasegawa: <That was when I decided to start making songs that have the power to give all their listeners belief in a "better tomorrow"...!> Haruka: Well, if it's okay with all of you, I'd like to accept her invitation... What do you say? Airi: Of course. Thanks, Hasegawa. We really appreciate your kind offer! Shizuku & Minori: Thank you! Hasegawa: You're welcome...! Riho's Room
Riho's Room
Hasegawa: S-Step right in... Um, I know it's cramped, but please sit wherever you like. Minori: Thanks for having us! Wow, you do have a lot of equipment here! Airi: This looks like a soundproof rug too. It's almost like we're in an actual studio. Hasegawa: I-It's nothing special, really... They're just things I bought with what I'd been saving... Hasegawa: Anyway... Wh-Why don't we start checking your vocal ranges? Minori: Okay!!
Minori: Whew... I'm exhausted... Haruka: Nice work, Minori. Here, have some water. Minori: Thanks, Haruka... Argh... I couldn't sing low at all... Hasegawa: But you were able to sing really high, Hanasato. Hasegawa: In your case, Hinomori, your voice had this clarity that made it sound like you were whispering. And Momoi, your midrange packed such a powerful punch... Hasegawa: Haru... Kiritani, you have this dignifying aura about you. I was really impressed by all of you. Airi: Having these different qualities means we could conceivably sing a wide variety of songs. Haruka: Hehe. Yes, we could. Hasegawa: And I promise to write songs that bring out the best of all of your voices! Shizuku: Thank you! We really appreciate it, Hasegawa! Minori: But I'm still really amazed by how you can come up with melodies in a snap! That's on top of matching it to how high our voices can go too! Haruka: She's right. Your musical knowledge seems to span so many genres. Not only do you do bright and cheerful well, but you also have so many other tools in your bag... Hasegawa: Th-Thank you. I'm still nothing special, but I have been doing this for a little while now... Airi: I see. That sort of explains why you seem so skilled. By the way, how long have you been doing this? Hasegawa: Oh, I started playing with this app on my parents' tablet when I was in elementary school... Hasegawa: But I didn't actually start writing any songs until I started junior high. Hasegawa: That was actually because of you, Kiritani. Haruka: Wait, me? Hasegawa: I began doing this because I thought it'd be fun to write or compose whatever came to mind, but I struggled to find any success. Hasegawa: I ended up telling myself that this is probably the best I can do since I was just playing around... Hasegawa: That was also around the time I started junior high. On top of having trouble making any new friends, this one bully started picking on me... Minori: Um... Hasegawa: But you, Kiritani, and ASRUN helped me think, "Something good might happen tomorrow, so make sure to go to school!" Hasegawa: That was when they began playing ASRUN songs during lunch. This other person in my group from class got really excited and we immediately became friends. Hasegawa: Then, I started talking with more people about ASRUN and I even began sharing the songs I made with them. Including the bully... Shizuku: Thank goodness... Hasegawa: Hehe... You and ASRUN's music really saved me that time, Kiritani. Hasegawa: After that, I began learning more about songwriting and composing. All to spread hope to others the way ASRUN did with me... Hasegawa: So I decided that I also want to write songs that can give someone hope... Haruka: Hasegawa... Haruka: (I'm speechless...) Haruka: (The hope I gave someone grew and is trying to spread hope to others now...) Minori: H-Hasegawa...! Hasegawa: Huh? Wah! Y-Yes, Hanasato?! Minori: I know exactly how you feel, Hasegawa! Haruka and the others always found ways to cheer me up whenever I wasn't feeling great! That's why I also want to give back...! Haruka: Hasegawa... We promise to really put our hearts into your song and sing in a way that does it justice. Haruka: So let's keep spreading hope together...! Hasegawa: *Gasp* Okay! Hasegawa: I... I absolutely promise to write a song that's worthy of your very first solo show! So thank you all very much! Minori, Airi & Shizuku: Of course! Hasegawa: <Oh, about this part... Would it be alright if I changed how it sounds? As it stands, it feels a bit dark and not very MMJ, you know?> Haruka: Yes, I agree. We'd rather it be a brighter melody. Hasegawa: <How do you feel about the lyrics? Which do you think is better? The first or second?> Airi: I like the first one! Shizuku: The second one sounds wonderful! Airi & Shizuku: Huh...? Minori: Hmmmm...! I can't decide! They're both so good! Haruka: Hehe. This is going to determine how our song sounds, so we'll want to think about this carefully. Hasegawa: <Haha. Please take as much time as you like...!>

Student A: Oh, hey! Get a chance to check out the Yuporin dance? Student B: Yeah, I did! The song's super cute too, right?! Haruka: Sounds pretty lively today... I wonder what's going on. Student C: Oh, Kiritani, good morning! Haruka: Good morning. Can I ask what you were talking about just now? Student C: I just learned about it just now, but everyone started doing this thing called the "Yuporin dance" a few days ago. Haruka: Yuporin...? Oh, you mean that really famous streamer? They're on TrickTrick or something, right? Student C: Yeah! Here, check out this dance! Haruka: Hehe. That's really cute. Huh...? Haruka: The song they're dancing to... Could it be...?*Hurried Footsteps*

Minori: Harukaaaa!! Minori: Th-This morning... I saw this dance...! Th-The song, it's...! Haruka: I had a feeling... This song...
Minori: Whoa...! This song... It's dazzling...! Shizuku: Yes, it's so bright and cheerful too! Airi: It's a little rough around the edges, but it's a great song! And it suits us so well as a group! Haruka: Hasegawa wrote this song... Minori: I knew it! She's so amazing! I can't believe Yuporin's using her song! Student C: Wait, you two know who wrote this song? Haruka: Yes, but we only met just recently. Student C: What?! No way! That means they're gonna be really famous! I mean, Yuporin's using their song! Student C: That's like five million followers right there. Imagine what's gonna happen when other people start posting their own content using this song. Minori: Yeah, you're right! Oh...! Students: Hey, let's try the Yuporin dance! Students: Okay! I'll play that song! Haruka: They're already dancing to it... Minori: What if other people all over Japan are already dancing to Hasegawa's song like this? This is so cool...! Students: Haha. This song's pretty tricky! Students: But it's so fun, you know? I was so bummed when I saw my bedhead this morning, but this made me feel a lot better! Students: Yeah, totally! It's so addictive too! Haruka: Hehe...
Hasegawa: So I decided that I also want to write songs that can give someone hope... Haruka: (Everyone who listened to Hasegawa's song seems so cheerful and optimistic.) Haruka: (I'm so glad for her.)

Airi: Hey, you two! Over here! Minori: Hi, Airi, Shizuku!*Hurried Footsteps*
Shizuku: Please excuse us for asking to meet so suddenly... But did you two see that video...? Haruka: Yes. I had a feeling you'd want to discuss that. Airi: I still can't believe it! I suddenly heard someone playing Hasegawa's song and everyone was dancing to it... Look, they're dancing too. Shizuku: I suppose this is the definition of "going viral"... Minori: Based on what I saw, this is turning into Yuporin's most or second most viral dance video! Airi: Yeah, that explains what's going on here too. Haruka: Going on where? Airi: The videos Hasegawa originally posted. The Yuporin dance only uses a part of that song, right? Airi: This video's getting a ton of views because all these people want to hear the entire song. Minori: Whoa...! Hold on... Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands... Minori: O-One million views?! Shizuku: That's incredible...! Haruka: Because it's an incredible song. I guess this means her wish to "spread hope to her listeners" came true. Minori: Yeah, it definitely did! Minori: Oh, wanna try calling her? We need to congratulate her! Shizuku: Okay! I'm sure she'll be happy to hear from us. Minori: Alright, I'll try calling her now!*Tapping*
*Phone Ringing*
Hasegawa: <H-Hello...? Hanasato...?> Minori: Yes! Hasegawa, please allow us to congratulate you! Airi: You're making it sound like she won the lottery or something. Airi: In any case... Everyone at our school's been playing your song nonstop, Hasegawa. It's an incredible sight! Hasegawa: <Th-Thank you very much...!> Hasegawa: <It was only just recently that I gave permission to use this song, but I didn't expect it to blow up like this so fast... My brain still sort of hasn't caught up...> Haruka: I'm sure you'll understand soon enough. Everyone in the comments section's remarking how cute and cheerful your song is. Shizuku: Hehe. I believe it's only natural considering how wonderful your song is, Hasegawa. Hasegawa: <Hehe... Thank you...> Hasegawa: <Oh, I'm wrapping up the demo right now, so it should be ready sometime this week!> Haruka: Great, thank you. We can't wait. Hasegawa: <And I'll keep doing my best! Oh, break's almost over. Sorry, I need to go...!> Minori: Okay, see you!*End Call*
Airi: She seemed kinda flustered but happy at the same time! Shizuku: Yes. I'm just as thrilled for her. Minori: Alright, let's do everything we can to make the song she's writing now a huge hit! Airi: Yeah! That means we're gonna need to come up with a cute dance routine that matches Yuporin's! Minori & Shizuku: Yeah! A few hours later

Minori: Humhumhuum♪ Today's the day we get Hasegawa's demo! Shizuku: You sound very excited, Minori. Airi: She's been bouncing off the walls like this for a little while now. Minori: Because it's our very own song! I can't wait to hear what it's like! Haruka: Hehe. I know what you mean.*Ping*
Haruka: Oh, I've got mail... From Hasegawa. Minori: Really?! Does that mean our original song's...! Haruka: But there's no file attached... Let's see... Haruka: <I apologize for being unable to deliver your demo to you as planned today. I'm going to need a little more time.> Haruka: <I promise to finish it, so I hope you'll bear with me for just a bit longer.> Minori: Oh no! Is she okay...?! Shizuku: That's hard to say. I really hope she's feeling well... Airi: She could just be busy dealing with the response to the Yuporin dance. Airi: She promised to finish it, so let's give her some time. Minori: Okay... Haruka: (Busy, huh...?)
Student C: That means they're gonna be really famous! I mean, Yuporin's using their song! Student C: That's like five million followers right there. Imagine what's gonna happen when other people start posting their own content using this song. Haruka: (Something about this really bothers me...) Haruka: Sorry, but would you three be okay with starting practice without me...? Airi: Huh? Sure, but... What's up? Haruka: There's something I need to look up. I'll be right back. Airi: Alright... In that case, let's start with some strength training! Shizuku & Minori: Okay!
Haruka: (I really hope I'm wrong...) Haruka: (But let's start by looking at that song's video. Down to the comments section...) Comment: <I came here after seeing the Yuporin dance! This song's so good!> <I'm never gonna get tired of this.> <Masterpiece.> Haruka: (Alright, a lot of positive comments as I saw before...) Haruka: Oh...
Comment: <I swear I've heard this before somewhere.> <Yeah, did they copy someone else?> <Wait, they stole this?> Comment: <Yuporin, don't use this poser's song...> <LOL! The part about "spreading hope" in the overview.> <Hope as in going viral by copying someone else?>*Scrolling*
Haruka: (I knew it... It's not just this video. People are saying the same thing on TrickTrick and PicShare.) Haruka: ... Haruka: (Anyone would be happy about getting this much attention for something they did...) Haruka: (But not everyone watching or listening is going to have her best interests in mind. Some will simply have a different opinion, but others will have less wholesome intentions.) Haruka: (The more attention and positive comments someone receives, others begin writing more of these kinds of remarks. If Hasegawa's already seen these comments...) Haruka: (I had to go through a lot when I first debuted too...) Haruka: (Some criticized me for not smiling enough, some called me a terrible dancer, and some even claimed that I used my agency connections to get where I was...) Haruka: (I'm used to it now, but it felt so awful back then. No matter how hard I tried, it was like no one would acknowledge me as an idol.) Haruka: (This may very well be the first time Hasegawa's received so much attention...) Haruka: Sorry about that..! I know we need to start practice, but mind looking at this for me really quick? Minori: What's the matter, Haruka?
Minori: Wh-What?! That's horrible!! Shizuku: Stolen...? I seriously doubt she'd ever do that. Minori: Exactly! I mean, the melodies Hasegawa can come up with are all so sparkly and dazzling! Minori: There's no way you can come up with that by copying someone else...! Haruka: I'm with you there. Also...
Hasegawa: All to spread hope to others the way ASRUN did with me... Hasegawa: So I decided that I also want to write songs that can give someone hope... Haruka: You can't spread hope to others by copying someone else. Hasegawa must already know that. Airi: Yeah, you're right! Airi: At the same time, I'm surprised by how people have been going after creators like this lately. Airi: This song blowing up overnight's probably why it's attracting so many jealous or prickly people. Shizuku: Do you think these negative comments are having an effect on Hasegawa...? Haruka: That's a strong possibility. Minori: ... Minori: How can people write such awful things...? On top of hurting the people they write about, they don't really benefit from writing these mean things. Airi: I don't like it either, but I kinda see where they're coming from... Airi: It's sad, but people become jealous of others when they see them succeed instead of themselves... Shizuku: Airi... Airi: However, that's no reason to hurt someone like this! Haruka: Yeah, exactly. Minori: ... Shizuku: Are you okay, Minori...? Minori: Oh... Yeah... This just reminded me what happened way back when. Minori: Remember what everyone used to say about me not so long ago? Minori: <One of these girls is not like the others.> <What's she doing here with Haruka and company?> Haruka: Minori... Minori: But I really couldn't do anything compared to the rest of you, so I was prepared to see people write those sorts of comments...! Minori: Still, it's hard not to feel even a little deflated when they say stuff like that... Minori: Which is why I'm wondering if Hasegawa's going through what I did back then... Haruka: Hey, what if we all gave her a call...? Minori: Huh? Haruka: I think we should start by seeing how she really feels. Haruka: We've speculated for a while about her, but what if we're getting the wrong idea? Airi: Right... But she could be stressing over what we were just talking about. What do you plan on doing if that's the case? Haruka: Then, we'll just have to help her deal with that pain. Haruka: It's never easy for any one person to have to carry this sort of weight. Minori: Haruka... Haruka: Just after I first debuted, I remember hearing a lot of terrible things being said about me. Haruka: But my group was there to help me through that... Shizuku: Hasegawa's one of us now, so we should be there for her during her time of need. Airi: To be fair, we've all gone through something like this at some point. I'm no exception to that fact. Airi: Popular idols like you two, Shizuku, Haruka... Or rather, idols who are known throughout Japan are bound to attract some unsavory customers. Haruka: Right... Haruka: Anyway, let's try calling her. Minori: Yeah!
Haruka: Alright, here we go. Ready? Minori: Yeah! Hit it!*Phone Ringing*
Hasegawa: <Um... Hello?> Minori: Hasegawa! Minori: Oh... Haruka: (She looks exhausted...) Haruka: (Is it because of what happened...?) Hasegawa: <I'm so sorry about not sending you the demo on time like we agreed...> Airi: No, don't worry about that! We get that everybody has their ups and down. Shizuku: Exactly. You're free to work at your own pace. Hasegawa: <Thank you...> Haruka: I'm sure you've been busy too. Especially with Yuporin's dance video and all... Hasegawa: <...> Minori: Oh... Hasegawa: <I'll put a rush on your song... I don't feel that well right now, so I'm not sure when it'll be complete... But I promise to finish it...> Minori: W-Wait...!

Minori: Humhumhuum♪ Today's the day we get Hasegawa's demo! Shizuku: You sound very excited, Minori. Airi: She's been bouncing off the walls like this for a little while now. Minori: Because it's our very own song! I can't wait to hear what it's like! Haruka: Hehe. I know what you mean.*Ping*
Haruka: Oh, I've got mail... From Hasegawa. Minori: Really?! Does that mean our original song's...! Haruka: But there's no file attached... Let's see... Haruka: <I apologize for being unable to deliver your demo to you as planned today. I'm going to need a little more time.> Haruka: <I promise to finish it, so I hope you'll bear with me for just a bit longer.> Minori: Oh no! Is she okay...?! Shizuku: That's hard to say. I really hope she's feeling well... Airi: She could just be busy dealing with the response to the Yuporin dance. Airi: She promised to finish it, so let's give her some time. Minori: Okay... Haruka: (Busy, huh...?)
Student C: That means they're gonna be really famous! I mean, Yuporin's using their song! Student C: That's like five million followers right there. Imagine what's gonna happen when other people start posting their own content using this song. Haruka: (Something about this really bothers me...) Haruka: Sorry, but would you three be okay with starting practice without me...? Airi: Huh? Sure, but... What's up? Haruka: There's something I need to look up. I'll be right back. Airi: Alright... In that case, let's start with some strength training! Shizuku & Minori: Okay!
Haruka: (I really hope I'm wrong...) Haruka: (But let's start by looking at that song's video. Down to the comments section...) Comment: <I came here after seeing the Yuporin dance! This song's so good!> <I'm never gonna get tired of this.> <Masterpiece.> Haruka: (Alright, a lot of positive comments as I saw before...) Haruka: Oh... Comment: <I swear I've heard this before somewhere.> <Yeah, did they copy someone else?> <Wait, they stole this?> Comment: <Yuporin, don't use this poser's song...> <LOL! The part about "spreading hope" in the overview.> <Hope as in going viral by copying someone else?>*Scrolling*
Haruka: (I knew it... It's not just this video. People are saying the same thing on TrickTrick and PicShare.) Haruka: ... Haruka: (Anyone would be happy about getting this much attention for something they did...) Haruka: (But not everyone watching or listening is going to have her best interests in mind.

Hasegawa: <Comments...? Oh, did you see them?> Haruka: Yes... We noticed that your video had quite a few negative comments... Hasegawa: <They're wrong! I didn't steal anything!> Minori: ...!! Hasegawa: <My song isn't a copy of someone else's...!> Haruka: It's okay, Hasegawa. We know you didn't do any of what they said. Airi: This sort of attention can cause others to get ideas. Seriously, if I ever find the jerk that started this, they're in for some trouble! Shizuku: Yes. So please try to settle down. Hasegawa: <Thank goodness... I was worried that you'd be on their side...> Minori: ... Minori: U-Um... Hasegawa! Minori: I know you probably don't feel great right now after seeing all the horrible things those people said... Minori: But try not to forget about everyone who supports you and liked your song! Hasegawa: <Huh...?> Minori: The truth is... There was a time when I had to deal with having a target on my back... Minori: But I still managed to find supporters in that sea of negativity... Minori: Once I knew that was possible, I was able to muster up the courage to move forward...! Hasegawa: <Hanasato...> Minori: So... Minori: You can get back to working on our song once you've had a chance to settle down! Minori: I, as well as all those who support you, will be eagerly waiting for you to dazzle us with your song! Hasegawa: <...> Hasegawa: <Thank you... I really appreciate it...> Hasegawa: <But... It's no use...> Minori: What? Hasegawa: <I've tried working on that song... But I feel totally stuck...> Haruka: Stuck...? Haruka: What do you mean by that...? Hasegawa: <Some people said this in the comments...> Hasegawa: <"Hearing this when I'm trying to focus on real problems is the worst."> Hasegawa: <"I didn't want to hear it, but people started blasting it in class because it's popular or whatever. It's awful."> Minori: What...?! Hasegawa: <Lately, my body begins shivering uncontrollably whenever I sit at my desk and try to work on a song...> Hasegawa: <I was just trying to spread hope with my song, but I ended up hurting these people...> Hasegawa: <My mind wants to create, but my hands refuse to do what they're told...!> Haruka: ...!!
Haruka: My legs... They won't move... Haruka: Wh-Why... Why won't they move? Haruka: ... Hasegawa: <But I'm still determined to finish writing your song.> Hasegawa: <So... Please... Can I have a little more time...?> Haruka: ... Stage SEKAI
Stage SEKAI
Miku: And this is where you're at now...? Minori: Yeah... Minori: I... I couldn't do anything for her... Haruka: That's not true. What you said about her supporters still being there for her must've gotten through to her... Minori: Right... Thanks... Rin: But isn't there anything we can do?! We can't just leave her alone like this! Airi: Yeah... But we don't even know what to say at this point... Airi: She knows she has others supporting her, but her body won't listen... Shizuku: Right. And the state she's in... It's just like... Minori: Oh... Haruka: Yeah, you're right... Haruka: She's me... Well, past me... Len: What do you mean...? Haruka: There was a time when I felt so "scared" that my body refused to do what it was told. Rin: Oh, that's right...! It was a different reason, but you also... Haruka: *Nod* Whenever I tried to go on stage, my legs would freeze up. Haruka: Please, try not to look so sad. I managed to overcome that with everyone's help. Haruka: However... That's also sort of why I don't really know what to say to her right now. Haruka: Even after receiving so much support from so many people...
ASRUN Members: We'll be fine, Haruka! I'm sure you'll be back on stage after you take a short break! ASRUN Members: I get that you feel bad about this since you're the responsible type and all, but that's also why it might be good for you to relax more. Manager: We'll be consulting with a specialist as well, so let's just try to get through this together. Haruka: But even after hearing all those kinds words and seeing so many people about it, my legs wouldn't stop shaking. Miku: ... Minori: Haruka... Shizuku: We were able to give you a show, Haruka, so isn't there something we can give Hasegawa...? Airi: There is that option. However... Airi: I think what she needs most right now is some sort of proof that her song can "spread hope to others". Airi: But Minori's already told her that... Minori: ... KAITO: This is quite the conundrum...
MEIKO: Yes, it's become a question of how to free someone from the "fear" that's petrifying them... Miku: Oh... Miku: That's it! KAITO: Huh? Miku, did you think of something? Minori: What should we do?! Miku: So...! Miku: Wh-What if we tickled her?! MEIKO: I see. Her reflexes will force her to... No, that's not what we're trying to accomplish here! Len: What made you come up with that, Miku? Miku: So... Luka tickled me this one time when I was feeling really nervous and it did wonders for me. I was thinking that we could try doing the same thing... Minori: Haha! I didn't know that! Airi: Hehe. It actually kinda worked, so it might be worth a try! Miku: Hehe... Luka: Oh, it's nice to hear that you like my favorite trick so much. Rin: Haruka... Haruka's Room

Haruka: Even when I'm the one who understands how she feels the most...*Ping*
Haruka: Oh... A message from Mai. Mai: <I hope you enjoy our show tomorrow! I'm sure you'll find the venue fine, but I'll send over a map just in case!> Haruka: Hehe. I can't wait to see Mai's show... Haruka: (But is it okay for me to go have fun at a time like this? Right when Hasegawa's suffering so much...) ???: <Haaaruuukaaa!> Haruka: Huh...?*Hologram Appearing*

Rin: <No, don't apologize! You worry about me whenever I'm in a bad place, right, Haruka?> Rin: <So this is your chance to ask me for help!> Rin: <But you might not need it since you've got a good head on your shoulders. I mean, you're such a great singer and dancer...> Haruka: Hehe. I'm really not that great, but thank you, Rin... Haruka: So, Rin, what would you do? She's going through the exact same thing I did, but I have no idea how to help her... Rin: <Hmm...> Rin: <If I were you... I'd cheer myself up by having lots of fun!> Haruka: What? Rin: <How can you save someone when you aren't feeling very good yourself?> Rin: <That's why I'd temporarily set aside whatever's bothering me and cheer myself up by having lots of fun!> Haruka: Hehe. You're right. I'd forgotten how important that is. If things went on like this, I wouldn't have had the energy to help anyone. Haruka: That also reminds me of how my old groupmates used to say, "You worry too much because you're the responsible type." Rin: <But I think that's one of your best qualities, Haruka♪> Haruka: Hehe. Thanks. Rin: <But! If you still don't feel great after taking the time to relax and have lots of fun...> Haruka: Then what happens? Rin: <Miku and I are gonna tickle you silly! So if that does happen, come over to SEKAI whenever you like♪> Haruka: Huh? Hehe...! Haruka: Alright, I might have to tickle you all back in return. Rin: Oh, that sounds fun! We can have a big ticklefest! Haruka: Thank you, Rin. I feel much better now because of you. Haruka: Same... After all, we're both here to spread hope.Transcripción

Minori: What an amazing show! Mai looked so cute as Rapunzel too! Airi: I wasn't sure what a "modern version" of Rapunzel would be like, but I loved how comical it was. The way she became president of a wig company at the end was so priceless! Shizuku: Thank you for inviting us today, Haruka. This ended up being a wonderfully fun break. Haruka: No, I should be the one thanking you. I mean, I sort of dropped this on all of you last minute. Airi: That's fine. It was a good opportunity to be there for a fellow idol and see how she's doing. Minori: Yeah! She made me want to try even harder! Mai's Voice: Haruka! Everyone!*Hurried Footsteps*
Haruka: Huh? Mai! Is okay for you to be out here like this? Mai: Yeah! I do have to get ready for our next showing, but I felt like I needed to properly greet all of you too. Mai: Thank you so much for coming today! I really appreciate it! Airi: Thank you too! It was a great experience! Mai: I'm glad you liked it...! I sort of tried going the extra mile today because I knew you'll all be watching. Mai: By the way, how have things been for you? Haruka: Pretty good... But we've run into a bit of trouble recently. Mai: Wait, trouble? You're always free to ask me for help if you think you need it. Haruka: Thanks. But it's pretty complicated, so I'll have to tell you another time... Mai: Okay, I understand... Mai: Um, Haruka... Mai: I honestly believe that you and MORE MORE JUMP! can clear any hurdle that comes your way. Haruka: Huh? Mai: You're where you are right now because you took every challenge head-on with everything you had, right? Mai: When I was having trouble, you worried about me and spoke with me the most. Be it me, our group or our fans, you never shied away from anything. Mai: But when you started struggling... I couldn't do anything to help... Mai: But Hanasato and the others in MORE MORE JUMP! were able to do something. They managed to get you back on stage. Mai: You've all overcome so much already, so I think... No, I know you'll be fine. Haruka: Mai... Haruka: Um, Mai...? Haruka: What would you do when you feel stuck after doing everything you could...? Mai: Me...? Mai: I'd just keep trying... Haruka: ...! Mai: I'm able to perform in shows like this now, but I can't really be in any musicals because of my throat condition... Mai: So my options in terms of roles are pretty limited... That frustrated me for the longest time... Minori: Mai... Mai: But I want to do what I can for my fans. I may not be able to sing anymore, but there are other ways for me to spread hope to them... Haruka: ...!
Mai: Why?! Why can't I sing anymore?! It's not fair! Mai: I want to keep being there for my fans by being the "idol" I want to be... Mai: That's probably the reason why I'm standing here right now. Haruka: Mai... Mai: Me, you, everyone... I believe we're all capable of doing that because I was! Mai: So please... Keep trying! Minori: Mai...! Thank you so much...! Shizuku: Not just for putting on a wonderful performance for us... But for encouraging us like this too... Airi: I know, right? And we're not about to let her have all the fun of spreading hope to everyone! Mai: Oh, I need to go...! I hope we get a chance to chat more soon! Mai: Bye bye, Haruka! Haruka: Okay. Bye, Mai.

Minori: Mai did such a great job of cheering us up! Airi: Yeah. Let's take the courage she's given us to think once more about what we can do for Hasegawa! Haruka: About that... Haruka: Mind leaving it to me? Shizuku: Huh? Did you come up with an idea, Haruka...? Haruka: I think so... It's not what you'd consider perfect... Haruka: But I'm thinking that I should just go simple and do the one thing I can for her right now. Minori: Simple? Also, what thing...? Haruka: Yes, it's simple. I should take this head-on with everything I have. Haruka: As many times as necessary too. Until my feelings get through. Airi: Hehe... You and Minori really are power idols, huh? Haruka: Huh? You think so...? Airi: But it's important for an idol to have that kind of power. Shizuku: I agree. An idol isn't an idol without a strong heart and powerful feelings! Minori: Yeah...! So we'll be counting on you, Haruka! Minori: Please make it so Hasegawa has fun while making music again...! Haruka: I will! Riho's Room

Haruka: Let's try one of these benches. I'm sure you'll like it since it's so nice out today. Hasegawa: O-Okay... Um... Hasegawa: Kiritani, you went out of your way to call me because of that song, right...? Haruka: That's only a part of it... There's something else I'd like to tell you. Hasegawa: O-Okay... Haruka: You shouldn't be pushing yourself so hard to create... Hasegawa: ...!! Hasegawa: Y-You're right... But I'll be causing all of you so much trouble if I don't finish it... Haruka: No, that's not my point. I didn't get a chance to finish what I was saying the last time we spoke... Haruka: The truth is, Hasegawa, I went through something very similar in the past... So I'm fairly certain that I know what you're feeling right now. Hasegawa: Something similar...? Haruka: Yes. I've never brought it up during any of our streams, but there was a time when my body wouldn't do what it was told even though my mind was ready to act... Haruka: As a result, I became unable to stand on stage and had to leave ASRUN. Hasegawa: What...?! Haruka: This may take a while, but would you mind hearing my story...? Haruka: About what happened before I joined MORE MORE JUMP!Transcripción

Minori: What an amazing show! Mai looked so cute as Rapunzel too! Airi: I wasn't sure what a "modern version" of Rapunzel would be like, but I loved how comical it was. The way she became president of a wig company at the end was so priceless! Shizuku: Thank you for inviting us today, Haruka. This ended up being a wonderfully fun break. Haruka: No, I should be the one thanking you. I mean, I sort of dropped this on all of you last minute. Airi: That's fine. It was a good opportunity to be there for a fellow idol and see how she's doing. Minori: Yeah! She made me want to try even harder! Mai's Voice: Haruka! Everyone!*Hurried Footsteps*

Haruka: (Talking about this is reminding me of everything that happened leading up to my departure from ASRUN...) Haruka: (No matter how hard I tried... No matter what I did... Nothing worked...)
Haruka: Why...?! I went to the hospital and even did it just fine during practice...! Haruka: Why won't my legs move when I get on stage...?
Manager: Are you absolutely sure, Haruka...? Haruka: Yes... Haruka: I... I can't be an idol anymore...
Haruka's Mother's Voice: Haruka... It's time for dinner. Won't you come down and join us? Haruka: Sorry, Mom... I want to be by myself right now... Haruka's Mother's Voice: Okay... Let me know if you get hungry. Haruka: Thanks. I will...*Footsteps*
Haruka: ... Haruka: ... Haruka: I'm sorry... Haruka: I'm so sorry...!! Hasegawa: ...! Haruka: The pain I felt that time was unbearable... The world even started turning gray... Hasegawa: I... I had no idea... Hasegawa: But I'm so glad for you... You managed to stand back up and become an idol again, Kiritani... Haruka: Thank you. Haruka: I was lucky... Incredibly lucky... I'm able to stand on stage again because of Minori and the others. Haruka: But I also know all too well that not everyone can come back from something like that. Hasegawa: ... Haruka: But if I can take away one thing from that... Haruka: It's how your feelings can't be extinguished so easily. Hasegawa: My feelings...? Haruka: Yes. In my case, it's my love of being an idol and spreading hope to as many people as possible. Haruka: I gave up once and tried to erase that from my mind, but it didn't go away... Haruka: My guess is that everyone carries these sorts of feelings, including you, Hasegawa. Haruka: Despite all the terrible things that people have said and all that you've gone through, you still want to keep creating music. Haruka: Isn't that because you wish to spread hope to everyone more than anything else...? Hasegawa: *Gasp*
Hasegawa: <That was when I decided to start making songs that have the power to give all their listeners belief in a "better tomorrow"...!> Hasegawa: <I was just trying to spread hope with my song, but I ended up hurting these people...> Hasegawa: <My mind wants to create, but my hands refuse to do what they're told...!> Hasegawa: ... Haruka: It's easy to think that everything would be so much better if these feelings just went away... Haruka: Am I right in saying that...? Haruka: But each person has to face up to their feelings in their own way... Haruka: Some may suffer while dwelling on what's bothering them. Others may find ways to weather the storm while slowly chipping away at their issues. Hasegawa: ... Hasegawa: How did you face your problems, Kiritani...? Haruka: I...
Haruka: I had everyone in MORE MORE JUMP! help me deal with that. Haruka: They taught me that I didn't have to carry all this weight on my own. Haruka: Which is why... Haruka: I want to be there for you, Hasegawa, just as MORE MORE JUMP! was there for me. Hasegawa: What...? Haruka: Ultimately, how you deal with this is going to be up to you... But that doesn't mean you have to suffer all alone. Haruka: Please ask for help if you ever think you need it. I promise to do everything in my power when you do. Hasegawa: Everything in your power...? Haruka: Yes. For example... Haruka: It's tickle time...! Hasegawa: Eep! H-Haruka...! Hahahaha...! Haruka: Hehe. I'm doing everything in my power to make you smile. Haruka: Anyway, jokes aside... I want to help you get through whatever's bothering you, Hasegawa. Haruka: So again... Please ask for help if you think you need it. Hasegawa: Haruka... Hasegawa: Thank you so much... You really are an incredible idol, Kiritani... Haruka: I'm not saying this as an idol... Hasegawa: Huh? Haruka: Sure, we only met just recently and talked mostly about work. Even until just now, we were discussing our new song. Haruka: But we aren't just coworkers or anything like that... Haruka: Because your music, Hasegawa... Your songs make us smile, Riho. Haruka: As a fan of your music, Riho, I want to take this opportunity to give back to you. Hasegawa: Haruka... Hasegawa: Thank you... Thank you so much... Hasegawa: I-I'll give it another try... Haruka: Good. I'll be waiting.*Footsteps*
Minori's Voice: Haruka!!*Hurried Footsteps*
Haruka: Oh, Minori... Airi: Great job. I didn't catch that entire conversation, but Hasegawa seemed really happy at the end there. Shizuku: Were you able to tell her how you feel, Haruka? Haruka: Yes... I told her everything I could. Airi: Then, all that's left for us to do is give her time and wait. Minori: Yeah...! Two weeks later

Haruka: Today, let's discuss what we'll be doing for our next show. Minori: Okay! We need to start by finding a venue and estimating how many people we'll have like last time, right? Airi: Right! It's also gonna be all about singing, so we'll need to think of a good set list to go along with it. Haruka: I agree. It might be wise to try to get the crowd going with some covers or other songs just in case our original doesn't pan out. Shizuku: True... Shizuku: How do you think Hasegawa's doing right now...? Haruka: ... Haruka: I hope she's feeling at least a little better... Minori: Me too... We haven't heard from her since... Huh? Minori: Hasegawa?! Haruka: What? Minori: Hasegawa sent us an email! I-I'm gonna open it! Airi: What did she say?! Minori: Um...
Hasegawa: <Thank you for what you did the other day.> Hasegawa: <I've spent a lot of time thinking after you told me your story, Haruka.> Hasegawa: <It became hard to work on my song because I was so scared that it'd end up hurting more people. However...> Hasegawa: <Even after dwelling on this for so long... I realized that I don't want to stop making my own music.> Hasegawa: <Again, Haruka, thank you very much.> Hasegawa: <Some people will keep saying mean things about me, but I want to keep doing everything I can for those who want to support me.> Haruka: ... Minori: Wait, there's more! <Lastly, that song's finally complete so I'll be sending it over.> Minori: <You were all there for me when I needed help, so please accept this as a small token of my appreciation. I hope you all enjoy it.> Minori: ...is what she wrote! Shizuku: Oh, I can't wait to hear what it's like. Airi: Alright, Minori, lay it on us! Minori: Coming right up! Play! Airi: ...! It tugs at your heartstrings even more now! Shizuku: It's as if our individual desires to spread hope to others all came together, including Hasegawa's! Minori: Yeah! It's all thanks to you, Haruka! I knew you would... Haruka: I'm so glad... Shizuku: Haruka... Minori: *Sob* Haruka...! *Cry* Airi: Geez... You just can't help it, can you? Minori: B-But...! I'm really happy that Hasegawa's all better now... Minori: And Haruka just showed that she's the best idol ever because she's willing to go through all this trouble for her fans...! Shizuku: Yes, I agree with you there. Airi: Anyway, now that we have our new song, it's full steam ahead towards our next show! Haruka: Right. Let's make sure to give our best!
