Don't Push Yourself

Side Story 1


Airi's Room
Airi: (Our shoot for iHaz is just around the corner...)
Airi: They like to toss around questions that aren't in the script, so we need to be ready for anything.
Airi: Also, Arisa and Marina are supposed to be the MCs.
Airi: Arisa's from the third generation and Marina's one of the new girls from the fourth...
Airi: So, I should try watching the shows where they both appear and see how they interact with everyone.
Airi: I'm pretty sure they were on that music program just the other day...
Airi: (Still, MORE MORE JUMP! is appearing on TV for the first time...with Cheerful * Days... You really can't make this stuff up.)


Member A: It must be so nice being pretty. No matter how hard we worked, she always got picked over us.
Shizuku: ...
Arisa: You said it...
Arisa: I'm glad to finally be rid of her.
Airi: *Sigh* Now's not the time for that. I need to focus and gather info on Cheerful * Days!
Airi: Where'd that recording go...? Oh, here it is.


Arisa: <Did you all see the music video for our new song? We put a ton of effort into it and even had to spend a few nights to make it happen, so please be sure to watch it if you haven't already.>
Group Members: <Remember how Marina just would not wake up that one morning?>
Marina: <H-Hey, they don't need to know that...!>
Group Members: <I remember! You wouldn't get up even after we pulled all the covers off of you. Arisa had to force you up and help you get changed.>
Arisa: <I couldn't blame her. I mean, she still isn't used to doing those kinds of outdoor shoots.>
Arisa: <While we're on the subject, I have some things to say about all of you. Who doodled all over Marina's face? Washing that off was harder than getting her to wake up.>


Airi: Because of what happened between us, I hardly ever watch the shows and programs they appear on...
Airi: But they each have a distinct personality and know how to work together as a team.
Airi: (Arisa, in particular, seems to have a talent for watching what the other members are doing and asking them questions at the right time.)
Airi: I hate to say it, but Cheerful * Days seems to be doing pretty well after she took over at the helm following Shizuku's departure.
Group Members: <♪——! ♪————!>
Arisa: <♪——! ♪————!>
Airi: Wow, I didn't realize they were this good at singing and dancing. They're in perfect sync...
Arisa: I'm glad to finally be rid of her.
Airi: ...
Airi: (Like Shizuku said... In the beginning, they worked as a team and pushed each other to become better.)
Airi: (But after she was chosen to be the lead, the others began having reservations about her...)
Airi: (They went from actively supporting her to belittling, envying and becoming filled with frustration...)
Airi: (But that didn't give them the right to say all those horrible things about her.)
Airi: *Sigh* I can't help but feel worried...
Airi: iHaz is all about showing people raw and uncut interactions between idols. On top of that, Arisa's being billed as someone with an incredibly sharp tongue...
Airi: But... Shizuku leaving wasn't a good thing for either her or the group.
Airi: I get that the show's gonna benefit from this, but the agency's not gonna let things get too out of hand, right...?
Airi: Hmm... Not knowing what they're gonna do is concerning...
Airi: (However, despite having experienced what she did, Shizuku seems excited by this prospect.)
Airi: Alright.
Airi: Once I'm finished watching all these, I need to come up with possible questions that we're going to be asked.

Side Story 2


After school
Miyamasuzaka Girls Academy - Rooftop
Airi: Alright, now that we seem to have our dance routine down, let's take a quick break and see how we did by checking the video.
Shizuku: Then, I'll be on recording duties today. Let's see... Open the camera up on my phone and...
Airi: Wait, are you sure about this?
Shizuku: Hm? I seem to have moved to a different screen. What does this little square do...?
Haruka: Little square?
Minori: Oh, you might've opened the thing for uploading images and stuff...
Airi: Yeah, Minori, you're spot on. Alright, you... The camera's the one next to that icon.
Shizuku: Oh, you're right. Thank you, Airi.
Airi: Yeah, yeah... You did an amazing job on iHaz, but I guess you're back to being your usual self.
Shizuku: Hehe. But I know where it is now, so I should be fine in the future.
Minori: Speaking of which, iHaz airs pretty soon! Hehe. I can't wait to see it.
Haruka: Our shoot went pretty well, so all that's left is to see how they edit it...
Airi: I've gotta think they're gonna keep all of Shizuku's story in there. I mean, us appearing alongside Cheerful * Days was their big selling point.
Minori: Shizuku...? Are you worried?
Shizuku: Yes... I believe I was able to say everything that I wanted to using my own words...
Shizuku: But how everyone takes what I said is entirely up to them.
Airi: Yeah, I get how you feel... But I think everything's gonna be okay.
Airi: I mean, your story was just that moving.


Shizuku: To my surprise, many were willing to accept me for who I really am.
Shizuku: As nervous as I was about doing this, their warmth helped me move forward one step at a time...
Shizuku: And now, like all those who are watching... I feel comfortable with me being this kind of idol.
Shizuku: I finally understand now that it's okay for me to just be myself.
Airi: Of course, we know that you experienced everything you spoke about firsthand and how hard things were back then...
Airi: But everyone will know that you're telling the truth when they see you tell your story.
Haruka: I agree.
Minori: Me too! It'll be fine, Shizuku! I'm sure of it!
Shizuku: All of you...
Haruka: I know. Why don't we all have a group call together while watching iHaz?
Minori: Yeah! I fell asleep last time, so I wanna give it another go!
Airi: Yeah, you were out like a light that time. We even heard you talk in your sleep.
Airi, Minori, Haruka & Shizuku: Hehe.
Miyamasuzaka
Airi: Alright, shall we start heading home?
Shizuku: Okay.
Airi: Come to think of it... There is one thing you mentioned while you were telling your story that made me really happy.
Shizuku: Oh, there is?
Airi: The part about you being accepted as an idol and for who you are.
Airi: I know how hard it was for you to have played Miss Perfect...
Shizuku: I'm being accepted for who I am now because our fans are so understanding, and because I had you and the others...
Shizuku: I wouldn't have been able to make this happen on my own.
Airi: Nonsense. You'll never be alone. We're in this together, aren't we?
Shizuku: Thank you, Airi. But I feel especially grateful for you.
Airi: Huh? Why's that?
Shizuku: Remember the event we did at that elementary school...?
Airi: I still managed to reach people... Even back then.
Shizuku: You filled me with so much hope when I saw you play Happy Everyday.
Shizuku: And I was so happy when I saw that you were able to touch the hearts of so many people.
Shizuku: Which is why I began asking myself, "What about me?" and, "Will people accept who I was when I was still in Cheerful * Days?"
Shizuku: That actually sort of became the reason why I began looking back on what happened back then, but with a positive perspective.
Airi: Huh...?
Shizuku: I mean, Airi, you're the reason I was able to try so hard back then. You're also the reason why everyone accepts me for who I am now.
Shizuku: So, Airi, thank you. You really are my favorite idol!
Airi: Shizuku...
Airi: Oh, you... Stop it or you're gonna make me blush.
Airi: (What's gotten into you? When did you become such an amazing person?)
Airi: (I mean, Shizuku, you've always been my...)
Airi: Um, Shizuku...?
Shizuku: Yes?
Airi: I... I wanna do everything I can while we're in MORE MORE JUMP!
Airi: So my future self will be able to look back on this time and be proud of what I did.
Shizuku: *Gasp* Yes, that'd be wonderful!
Shizuku: Would you mind if I joined you on your journey?
Airi: Of course, silly. Don't forget that you're also a valued member of MORE MORE JUMP!
