¡Yo también me convertiré en un idol!
Personajes
Transcripción
Airi: Al dar todo lo que tenemos en nuestro papel, podemos transmitir esa sensación de trabajar duro para el mañana a nuestros fans. Airi: Así que no importa cuán inciertas o difíciles se pongan las cosas, seguimos deseando mantener una actitud positiva y asegurarnos de darles a todos las sonrisas que necesitan. Airi: Aún recuerdo cuando decidí por primera vez que quería convertirme en ese tipo de idol. Pequeña Airi: ¡Oye! ¡¿Cuántas veces tengo que decirte que no hagas llorar a mi hermana antes de que te atraviese tu dura cabeza?!
Bully principal: ¡Cállate! ¡Seguro que hablas en grande para ser una insignificante! Bully del vecindario: Sí, ¿por qué no te llevas a tu hermana llorona y te pierdes?*Puñetazo*
Pequeña Airi: ¡Ay...! Bully principal: ¡Hmph! ¡Será mejor que vuelvas a casa con mamá mientras puedas! Pequeña Airi: ¿A quién llamas insignificante...? Pequeña Airi: ¡Discúlpate ahora mismo o veremos quién es realmente el llorón!
Pequeña Airi: ¡Ay! ¡Ay! ¡Mamá, para! ¡Por favor, sé más amable! Madre de Airi: Lo soy, ¡pero debes quedarte quieta! No puedo parar hasta que termine de desinfectar esto. Pequeña Airi: Hrng... Bien... Madre de Airi: A veces desearía que no fueras tan marimacho. ¿Siempre tienes que buscar peleas con chicos? Pequeña Airi: Pero... Madre de Airi: Vienes con la ropa toda sucia y el cabello revuelto después de que pasé tanto tiempo en ello. Y comiste tantos daifuku que empezaste a ahogarte... Pequeña Airi: ¡¿Q-Qué tiene que ver el último con todo esto?! Pequeña Airi: ¡Además, estoy bien! ¡Estoy acostumbrada a meterme en peleas! Madre de Airi: ¡Ese no es el punto! ¿Cómo puedes estar orgullosa de eso? Pequeña Airi: Lo-lo sé pero...! Pequeña Airi: ¿Hm...? Oye, ¿cuál es esta canción? La madre de Airi: ¿Hm? Oh, eso es solo la televisión... Creo que dijeron que es de algún idol que acaba de debutar... Pequeña Airi: ¿En serio...? ¡Es tan linda...! Madre de Airi: Oh, ¿tú lo crees? No hay ninguna razón por la que no puedas ser tan linda como ella, ¿sabes? Pequeña Airi: ¿Yo...? Pequeña Airi: (¿Puedo realmente ser más como... Un idol?)

Pequeña Airi: ¡Oye, hoy está en un programa de variedades! ¡Ella siempre se ve tan linda! Pequeña Airi: Los idols seguro que son increíbles... Cantar, bailar, hacer sonreír a toda esa gente... Pequeña Airi: ¡Incluso hacen todos esos programas de entrevistas! ¡Apuesto a que es muy divertido! Hermana de Airi: Has estado observando mucho a esta chica últimamente. ¿Realmente te gusta tanto? Pequeña Airi: ¡Sí! Es como si solo verla me hiciera feliz. No puedo evitar empezar a sonreír. La hermana de Airi: ¡Eso significa que es como tú! Pequeña Airi: ¿Qué? ¿Yo?

Airi: After that, I went to audition after audition before finally becoming an idol like I dreamed. Airi: Hehe. That sure brings back memories. Airi: It wasn't all sunshine and rainbows but... I really did love being an idol... Airi: Thanks to Minori and the others, I get another chance at doing just that. Airi: I'm going to put everything I've got into being a part of MORE MORE JUMP!

Minori: Whoa...! This building is huge! Shizuku: Is this the right place, Haruka? Haruka: Yeah. I asked a few of my friends to look for an agency they think might be interested in us. Haruka: And this agency agreed to talk to us about the four of us as a group. Airi: If that's true, that would be amazing. Working for an agency as big as this... Airi: Minori, are you okay? Minori: Y-Yes! Minori Hanasato, ready to go! Haruka: I take it you're a little nervous... Shizuku: Hehe. Don't worry. You just need to be yourself, Minori. Airi: Exactly. Your smile is your best quality. Have confidence in yourself! Minori: R-Right! Thanks, everyone...! Haruka: Hehe, that's more like it. Alright, let's go in!

Haruka: Good morning. My name is Haruka Kiritani. I have an appointment. Clerk: Oh, Haruka! We've been expecting you! I see Shizuku and Airi are with you as well! Airi & Shizuku: Thank you for seeing us! Clerk: Of course. We're happy that you came. Minori: U-Um! Thank you for seeing us! Clerk: Hm? You must be a friend of theirs. Are you here for a tour of the agency? Minori: Um... Airi: Actually, we're here as a group of four. Could you give us an explanation regarding agency transfers? Clerk: Oh, my apologies! I didn't realize... Please wait here for just a moment.*Footsteps*
Minori: I knew it. I just look like an outsider here... Airi: You'll be fine! Everyone does when they first start out! Shizuku: That's right, Minori. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Minori: R-Right! Sorry, everyone. If only I had more of an idol-like aura... Minori: But I guess if I did, I wouldn't have had so much trouble passing my auditions... Airi: What are you talking about? It's really rare to get hired as a full-blown idol right off the bat. Airi: An idol is born by working hard day after day! Airi: But Shizuku might be an exception... Shizuku: What? Me? Shizuku: I suppose that's true. I don't know about having the right aura, but working hard every day is very important. Shizuku: I've been doing that ever since I first became an idol and I'm still nowhere close to my ideal image. Minori: You too, Shizuku? Shizuku: Of course. So let's do our best together, okay? Haruka: Once you get some experience with an agency, you'll start feeling like a real idol in no time. Minori: Thanks again, everyone... Minori: You all have a big head start, so I'll have to put in a lot of effort to catch up! More, more, more! Airi: Hehe! That's the spirit! Clerk: Sorry to keep you waiting! Please, follow me! All Four: Yes, ma'am! CEO's Office

Talent Agency CEO: Ah, I've been expecting you. Thank you for coming. Haruka: Of course. Thank you for taking the time to speak with us today! Haruka: We only just recently formed MORE MORE JUMP! but the four of us are looking forward to seeing what we can do together. Shizuku: We wish to be the kind of idols who can spread hope and happiness to everyone. Airi: We look forward to working with you! Minori: W-We look forward to working wiff you! Talent Agency CEO: Hm? The four of you...? Haruka: Yes, sir! Talent Agency CEO: That might be a bit difficult... Haruka: What...? Why is that? Talent Agency CEO: Our agency would be happy to take you, Ms. Hinomori and Ms. Momoi, but I was not aware you would be bringing an amateur with you as well. Minori: ... Talent Agency CEO: I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, but... Airi: Hold on...! Wait just a minute! Shizuku: Airi... Airi: Minori here may not have much experience yet, but she has tenacity and a drive to become a real idol! Airi: She's just a sapling now, but I can guarantee you she'll shine just as brightly on stage as any of us before you know it! Airi: So, please...! Talent Agency CEO: Very well. You've made your intentions quite clear. Haruka: Does that mean...? Talent Agency CEO: I would be happy to take on all four of you, but I'm afraid I can't agree to you performing as a single unit. Minori: But... Talent Agency CEO: Marketing an idol group comprised of three famous members and one completely unknown amateur would simply be too difficult. I'm sure you can understand our position. Airi: I... I see... Haruka: In that case, I'm afraid we must decline. Thank you again for your time. Minori: ... Airi: Minori...Transcripción

Haruka: I'm sorry everyone... Especially after coming all this way... Minori: It's not your fault! If only I was more... Minori: More... Minori: ... Airi: What are you getting so down for? That was only one agency! Airi: What happened to the Minori who keeps at it no matter how many times she got knocked down, huh? Minori: B-But... When I fail an audition, the only one that gets hurt is me. Minori: Now I'm dragging all of you down as well. It's all my fault that you won't... Haruka: Minori, I agree with Airi. It's too soon to give up. Haruka: We still have plenty of other connections, so let's just keep looking for an agency that will work with us. Minori: Haruka... Haruka: We knew this wasn't going to be easy. There's no reason to get discouraged yet. Airi: And we aren't going to leave everything up to Haruka either. I still have a few strings I can pull too. Shizuku: I know some people from when I was still modelling who I can speak with as well. Minori: Airi... Shizuku... Minori: You're right. I can't let one agency get me down. I'll do what I can too! Airi: That's the spirit! We're just getting started, and we're gonna find a way to get over these obstacles together, right? Minori: Yeah, that's right...! Haruka: Let's all do our part and see what we can come up with! Everyone: Yeah!!

Airi: Sigh... This isn't going so well... Airi: The agency I talked to said they'd only hire me and put Haruka and Shizuku at another agency under the same parent company. Haruka: Another agency I spoke with said they would only sign Shizuku and me. Minori: I went to a bunch of different agencies to ask if they'd let us audition, but they all turned me down. Haruka: I've been asking some of the smaller agencies as well... Haruka: The last few days, they've started hanging up on me as soon as I gave them my name. Airi: I wonder why... They were willing to hear us out before. Shizuku: What if we asked different agencies to hire us each separately and see if they'll agree to let us work together as a group? Haruka: Yes, I thought about that too. However... Haruka: There's no guarantee that they will allow us to perform as MORE MORE JUMP! Minori: That first agency did say that marketing me along with all of you would be too difficult. They're probably all thinking the same thing. Haruka: We also have to remember that every agency already has idols working for them, and that they want them to succeed too. Haruka: The chances of finding an agency that is willing to let us debut as a group when there is no guarantee that we will succeed may be slim. Airi: You're right... The debuting process costs a lot of money so... Minori: Sob... Minori: I knew it. You would all be better off without... Haruka: We're not doing this without you, Minori. Haruka: You're the reason why the three of us even decided to become idols again, remember? Minori: Yeah... Airi: Anyway, there are still a lot of places we haven't tried yet. So no more complaining for now, got it? Minori: Right...! I'll do my best...!

I take it the rumors I've been hearing are true then. Airi: Oh! Good morning! Haruka: Hello. It's been a while. Minori: Who's that...? Haruka: He's a producer I used to work with on some TV shows a while back. I guess Airi knows him as well. Airi: Yep! He's really nice to work with! Shizuku: Hey, hold on... Didn't he just say something about a rumor? Shizuku: You don't think there's a strange rumor going around about us, do you? Minori: Oh...! Airi: Is that why we're getting shot down before agencies even meet with us? Haruka: That's a distinct possibility. Airi: (If someone started some awful rumor about us...) Airi: Excuse me! Airi: Can you tell us more about this rumor you mentioned? Famous Producer: Oh, it's nothing bad. I just heard that the four of you were looking for an agency is all. Airi: Huh...? Minori: Really? Is that all? Haruka: Then I don't understand... Haruka: Why would that turn into agencies refusing to meet with us? Famous Producer: The agency you worked for before was one of the big ones, Haruka. Now, you've even teamed up with Airi and Shizuku to boot... Famous Producer: From a smaller agency's point of view, hiring three big names, such as yourselves, comes with the risk of making the big agencies think you were cherry picked. Famous Producer: They could also come under pressure from your old agencies and cause other idols to lose work. Famous Producer: From what I've heard, that's what everyone's worried about... Airi: Oh... Haruka: I see. Famous Producer: Finding an agency won't be easy, but good luck with your new group. I hope we get the chance to work together again... Haruka: Yes, thank you very much.

Airi: So the big agencies and even the small ones are out...? Airi: I didn't think about how an agency would come under fire just because they hired us... Airi: This means no one is gonna want to work with us! Haruka: I know we were prepared for this, but that doesn't make it any easier to accept. Shizuku: And this isn't the kind of problem we can solve with positive thinking alone. Minori: Yeah... Airi: Hey, come on, you guys. Don't get so down! Airi: We're supposed to give our fans hope, right? We can't give up now! Haruka: Yes, you're right... We need to figure out our next step. Shizuku: Indeed... Shizuku: I was hoping it wasn't true, but we might have to consider what could happen if our old agencies really did put pressure on whoever we end up working for... Shizuku: There's a possibility we could end up destroying the hopes of other idols in the process... Airi: ... Minori: We can't do that...! I would never forgive myself if I was the reason another idol lost the ability to smile! Airi: Same... Haruka: ... Minori: Maybe we just aren't meant to be on stage after all... Airi: That's not true...! There has to be something we can do! Airi: We have to keep trying! I'm not ready to give up looking for a path to becoming idols! Haruka: Airi... Haruka: Yeah, I know... Sorry. I'm just upset. Minori: I-I'm sorry too...! I still have to try even more! Shizuku: I think we're all a little exhausted right now. Perhaps it would be best to call it a day and get some rest. Airi: Yeah, I think you're right. Maybe we'll think of something once we've had the chance to calm down. Minori: I'll try to think of something too! Airi: For now, just get some rest, Minori! Airi: If you really can't sit still, use your energy to practice dancing or singing! Minori: O-Okay... Shizuku: Hehe. See you all tomorrow. Haruka: Be careful on your way home, everyone. Airi: Will do! See ya!*Footsteps*

Agency CEO: Ah, I believe I've heard. You're trying to form a new group, correct? Airi: Yes...

Airi: So the big agencies and even the small ones are out...? Airi: I didn't think about how an agency would come under fire just because they hired us... Airi: This means no one is gonna want to work with us! Haruka: I know we were prepared for this, but that doesn't make it any easier to accept. Shizuku: And this isn't the kind of problem we can solve with positive thinking alone. Minori: Yeah... Airi: Hey, come on, you guys. Don't get so down! Airi: We're supposed to give our fans hope, right? We can't give up now! Haruka: Yes, you're right... We need to figure out our next step. Shizuku: Indeed... Shizuku: I was hoping it wasn't true, but we might have to consider what could happen if our old agencies really did put pressure on whoever we end up working for... Shizuku: There's a possibility we could end up destroying the hopes of other idols in the process... Airi: ... Minori: We can't do that...! I would never forgive myself if I was the reason another idol lost the ability to smile! Airi: Same... Haruka: ... Minori: Maybe we just aren't meant to be on stage after all... Airi: That's not true...! There has to be something we can do! Airi: We have to keep trying! I'm not ready to give up looking for a path to becoming idols! Haruka: Airi... Haruka: Yeah, I know... Sorry. I'm just upset. Minori: I-I'm sorry too...! I still have to try even more! Shizuku: I think we're all a little exhausted right now. Perhaps it would be best to call it a day and get some rest. Airi: Yeah, I think you're right. Maybe we'll think of something once we've had the chance to calm down. Minori: I'll try to think of something too! Airi: For now, just get some rest, Minori! Airi: If you really can't sit still, use your energy to practice dancing or singing! Minori: O-Okay... Shizuku: Hehe. See you all tomorrow. Haruka: Be careful on your way home, everyone. Airi: Will do! See ya!*Footsteps*

Airi: I know I already gave up on being an idol once, but a lot has happened with the girls in my group and we've finally come to a decision. Airi: The four of us want to be idols together.

Airi: (Rin really is amazing. Always so bright and energetic...) Airi: (I can't help but smile when I watch her.) Airi: (I knew it. Idols have to be able to face anything head on with a smile.) Airi: (That's what I need to do...) Rin: How was that, Airi? Do you feel any better? Airi: Yeah, much! That was a terrific performance! Airi: You're so incredible, Rin. A real idol who always keeps on smiling. Rin: You think so? I think you're just as much of an idol as I am. Airi: Hahaha. Thanks. But it only looks that way... Rin: Do you mind telling me what happened...? Maybe I can help out! Rin: And even if I can't, I'm happy to just listen! I'm sure you'll feel a lot better either way! Rin: Oh! You don't have to if you don't want to, of course! I'm just really, really curious! Airi: Hehe. In that case... I could really use some advice. Airi: I've admired idols ever since I was little. Seeing them shine on stage like they do... Airi: Like the way you did just now, Rin! Rin: Wha—?! Really?! Hehehe, thank you♪ Airi: I used to be obsessed with watching idol music videos. I'd try to copy their songs and dance routines. Airi: Somewhere along the way, I decided that's what I wanted to be too. Airi: But back then, I didn't look anything like an idol should. Rin mmj: Really? How so? Airi: Well, I used to get into fights with some boys in my neighborhood. Most days, I'd come home with my clothes all dirty. Rin: Hahaha♪ You've really always been like that! Airi: Hey, you could at least act more surprised! The only time I get my clothes dirty now is when I have to for work. Airi: But I guess I have always been told that my energy was a good thing. Rin: Hehe♪ Airi: Anyways, moving on... Airi: Becoming an idol takes a lot of time and money, so I know it couldn't have been easy on my family. Airi: But despite everything, they were always there to support me. Airi: So I poured everything into working hard day after day until I was finally able to achieve my goal! Airi: But in the end, things didn't go exactly as I'd hoped. Rin: I see... So that's what happened. Airi: I decided to try again really hard after giving up once already but... Airi: For some reason, I just can't seem to get any closer to the idols I looked up to so much when I was little... Airi: I'm starting to think that I'm never going to be able to spread hope to others like I wanted. Rin: That's not true! Rin: I think you're a great idol, Airi! Rin: Whenever I see you up on that stage, it makes me smile so much that I want to get up there with you. Rin: I want to see you perform more! I want to sing with you again! Rin: Please... Airi: You're right... Airi: Acting so discouraged isn't like me at all, is it? Airi: Thanks, Rin. We'll just have to put our heads together and come up with another way to keep MORE MORE JUMP! alive! Rin: Yeah! Rin: But there's something that's bothering me... Airi: What is it? Rin: Is there some kind of rule that says idols have to be part of one of these agencies you mentioned? Airi: Huh? Rin: I mean, Miku, me and the others don't work for an agency, and we still do shows all the time. Airi: That's true... But I don't think that would work for us. Airi: Without an agency, we'd be freelancing as idols... Airi: I don't think that's a good idea... Rin: Why's that? Airi: Well, I mean... If you're not with an agency, you won't be able to do performances or get onto TV shows... Airi: So nobody will ever see you. How can we spread hope like that? Rin: Hm... I'm not sure I can answer a question like that... Rin: But I still believe you'd find a way to make it work! Airi: Huh? Rin: Take this SEKAI, for example. All of these different stages were created through everyone's feelings, right? Rin: You have as many wonderful feelings here, so I feel like you'd be capable of anything if you put your minds to it. Rin: The four of you are sure to become an idol group that can give hope to anyone, anywhere! Rin: That's what I believe! Airi: Oh...! Minori: Well, I have faith! Minori: Tomorrow will always be a better day! Minori: So in order to help everyone believe things can always get better... Minori: I'm here to give everyone hope for a better tomorrow! Those are the words that guide me! Airi: Give hope to anyone, anywhere... I guess we need to keep on believing as long as there's the possibility. Airi: Thanks, Rin. It's time to give it another go. Airi: Next time, I'll make sure to bring everyone else with me so we can all sing together! Rin: Yay! I can't wait♪ Airi's Room

I'm a first-year high school student and a member of the animal caretaker committee! Minori: One of my favorite hobbies is keeping a daily diary! Minori: I usually write about what happened that day or what kind of practice I did after school... Minori: Oh, wait! This is a video... I guess I can just show you...! Minori: Let's see... Here we go. Is this in focus? I sure hope you can see this. Minori: Oh, I also love learning different idols' dance routines! Here, I'll do a quick demonstration for you! Minori: Let me just put the camera down and... Oh, this might be too low. All you can see is my feet, huh? Minori: Maybe I can find somewhere a bit higher... Oh, let me try over here... There, that should work! Minori: Gasp! Noooo! The camera's gonna fall over! Minori: Sob... The camera wouldn't focus on my diary and I couldn't find a good spot to record a dance video. Minori: You can't even see half of my face in most of video either. Minori: Making a video is harder than I thought...*Door Opening*
Shizuku: Oh...? What's the matter, Minori? Minori: Oh, Shizuku! Minori: Well, actually... Shizuku: I see. So you decided to try making a video? Minori: Yeah. I can't become an idol if I just sit around and mope. I need to do whatever I can. Shizuku: Uploading videos of us doing idol activities, huh? That's certainly one way of doing things. Shizuku: I'm impressed, Minori. I think it's a wonderful idea. Minori: I-It's just an idea I had! Besides, I couldn't really get it to work! Shizuku: Yes, but even if something seems difficult on your own, it may become easier by working together. Shizuku: I'd like to give it a try. Let's see what the others think as well.

Haruka: I'm starting to think we may never find an agency that's willing to take us... Haruka: No, I need to stay positive. It wouldn't be right to give up hope while the others are still trying so hard... Haruka: Who else might be willing to meet with us? I've already contacted so many people... Haruka: Oh, this girl! She freelances as a celebrity...! Haruka: I remember her talking about how much she loved her job despite how much work it was. Haruka: Freelancing... Haruka: I wonder if we could be an independent idol group that isn't affiliated with a talent agency. Haruka: No, it's not realistic. That person works solo too and has much more flexibility in terms of finding work... Haruka: It's hard to think that we could do the same as a four-member idol group. Haruka: Then...

Shizuku: Oh...? What's the matter, Minori? Minori: Oh, Shizuku! Minori: Well, actually... Shizuku: I see. So you decided to try making a video? Minori: Yeah. I can't become an idol if I just sit around and mope. I need to do whatever I can. Shizuku: Uploading videos of us doing idol activities, huh? That's certainly one way of doing things. Shizuku: I'm impressed, Minori. I think it's a wonderful idea. Minori: I-It's just an idea I had! Besides, I couldn't really get it to work! Shizuku: Yes, but even if something seems difficult on your own, it may become easier by working together. Shizuku: I'd like to give it a try. Let's see what the others think as well. Minori: Okay...! Thanks, Shizuku! Kamiyama Street

Talent Insider: <I'm very sorry, but I just don't see that working out for us.> Haruka: I see... Thank you for your time.*Ending Call*
Haruka: Another dead end... Haruka: I thought maybe an agency just getting off the ground might be open to the idea, but I guess I was wrong. Haruka: I'm starting to think we may never find an agency that's willing to take us... Haruka: No, I need to stay positive. It wouldn't be right to give up hope while the others are still trying so hard... Haruka: Who else might be willing to meet with us? I've already contacted so many people... Haruka: Oh, this girl! She freelances as a celebrity...! Haruka: I remember her talking about how much she loved her job despite how much work it was. Haruka: Freelancing... Haruka: I wonder if we could be an independent idol group that isn't affiliated with a talent agency. Haruka: No, it's not realistic. That person works solo too and has much more flexibility in terms of finding work... Haruka: It's hard to think that we could do the same as a four-member idol group. Haruka: Then... What on Earth are we going to do...?*Notification*
Haruka: Hm?! Haruka: It's from Airi...? I wonder what's going on?

Airi: Thanks for coming, everyone. Minori: No, don't worry about it! But I am wondering why you asked us to come up here...! Shizuku: I was surprised as well since you called so late about wanting to discuss something. Airi: You can all relax a bit, you know. Airi: I finally managed to sort out some ideas I had and I wanted to let you know as soon as I did! Haruka: What is it you want to discuss? Airi: So, here's the thing. I have a suggestion about how we might be able to move forward. Shizuku: Move forward... As MORE MORE JUMP!? Airi: Yes. Obviously, you all know we've been having trouble with agencies, so I did some thinking. Haruka: ... Airi: How about we ditch the idea of finding a talent agency and become an independent idol group instead? Minori: What...?! Shizuku: Like... Freelancing...? Do you mean that, Airi? Airi: Yeah, of course I do. Airi: The way things are now, I don't think we're going to find an agency that's gonna be willing to work with us any time soon. Airi: So instead of wasting our time on that, I thought it'd be much better to start doing stuff on our own. Shizuku: That may be true, but... Haruka: That's going to be extremely difficult... Haruka: As an independent group, we'd be responsible for handling everything old managers and staff used to handle. Scheduling, meetings, you name it. Haruka: Doing all of that while also making the time to practice won't be easy. Haruka: And we won't have a producer. How will we handle marketing? Airi: I get that it won't be easy. Airi: But I think between the two of us, we'll be able to manage scheduling and marketing. Haruka: You and me...? Airi: Yeah, you're always so organized and you have the most experience out of any of us. I think you'd be great at it. Airi: Of course, I'd be there to help too. I'm not gonna make you handle everything on your own. Minori: U-Um, is there any way for me to help out? I want to do something, even if it's running random errands! Shizuku: I would like to do my part as well. Airi: Thanks, you two. I was already planning on asking. Haruka: ... Airi: I actually spent the whole day yesterday researching what QT has done since they first formed. I looked at what shows they've been on, what kind of interviews, everything. Shizuku: What? Airi: None of us have any real experience doing that kind of stuff ourselves, so I figured we'd need as much reference material as possible. Airi: Well, it's all pretty vague since all I have to go on are whatever schedules and information I could find online. Airi: I also gathered everything I could find on the promotional stuff that was used for a bunch of the idols who recently debuted.*Papers Rustling*
Minori: Whoa! That's so much...! It's bigger than a textbook! Airi: I'm sure there's still a lot missing, but I think this should be enough to figure out how to market MORE MORE JUMP! Shizuku: Airi... Haruka: Even if we do our own marketing, do you think we'll still get work if we're not part of an agency? How are we going to actually get up on stage to perform? Haruka: And if we don't perform, how are the fans going to see us? Airi: Well... Minori: O-Oh! I actually have a suggestion about that. Haruka: Minori? Minori: Shizuku's been helping me record some videos! Minori: We only just started, but if it goes well enough, we could upload them to streaming sites! That might help us get exposure even without being on TV! Haruka: Recording our own videos... Airi: That's a good idea. We can make our own videos without any extra staff on hand...! Minori: After listening to what Airi said, I'm convinced that the four of us can do anything together! Minori: We may not be performing on big stages or popular TV shows yet... Minori: But if we split the work and start doing things our own way, I'm sure people will take notice! Shizuku: I agree with Minori. Shizuku: Where we might be doesn't matter. As long as people are able to find us, we'll be able to spread hope. Shizuku: I know it's going to be tough, but I want to do whatever we can to keep going. I don't want to give up... Shizuku: As long as we're together, I believe we can overcome any obstacle. Airi: Minori... Shizuku... Airi: Yeah, you're right. We all decided that we're gonna spread hope to others, didn't we? That means we have to take on whatever challenges that come our way. Haruka: You're right... There's never just one path. Haruka: Airi, thank you for suggesting this. I... I think I was being a little stubborn. Airi: Haruka... Haruka: We have the promotional research Airi put together, and a video-based approach devised by Minori and Shizuku. Haruka: There's still no way of telling how things will go, but I'll do my best to help however I can. Airi: Thanks! Haruka: If this is the path you all think we should take, then we just gotta figure out how to walk it together. Haruka: Let's see... How about we start by taking some practice videos after school today? Haruka: Minori, you and Shizuku could start by teaching us what you've tried so far. Does that sound good? Minori: Sure! I'll put some notes together before then! Shizuku: Hehe. Then I should start adding recording days to my calendar. Minori: Oh! I bet writing Recording Day on my schedule would make me feel more like a real idol! Minori: Hehe! I'm gonna put that in my planner for sure♪ Haruka: In that case, I'll add it as well. It'll help get me into the right state of mind. Airi: (I'm glad everyone's smiling again...) Airi: (An optimistic mindset is key to being an idol. No matter what happens, you keep smiling and never give up.) Airi: (So no more looking down! We're going to prove that the four of us have what it takes!) Airi: Alright! We officially start working today as idols! As MORE MORE JUMP!Transcripción
