Miku! Rin!

Hmm. They're not here...?

It's rare for both of them to be away.

Maybe they're having dinner right now?

Isn't it a bit early for that...

Wait, do they even eat dinner...?

Hello, everyone!

Wah...! Miku!

You surprised me...!

You seem a little different than usual. Did something happen?

Hehe♪

I have a new friend to introduce to you all today!

A new friend?

Yup! We have someone who's going to be performing as an idol with us from now on♪

Really? Who is it...?!

Time for the big reveal!

It's nice to meet you.

My name is Megurine Luka.

L-Luka...?!

Hehe. That's me.

I'm looking forward to putting on some wonderful shows with Miku and Rin from now on.

I hope I can count on your support♪

Wow! What an aura...!

You're dazzling!

Hehe. You're over-exaggerating, Minori.

Huh? You already know my name?!

Of course. Miku and Rin told me all about you.

Like you four discovering your true feelings and forming your own idol group...

And we even talked about a few embarrassing stories that I probably shouldn't repeat in front of everyone.

Huh?! Wait, what are you talking about?!

Could it be that... D-Did you see me practicing my autograph last night...?!

You were practicing your autograph, Minori?

Hehe. I'm just teasing♪

I was just trying to surprise everyone.

I'm hoping to get to know more about each of you, so feel free to chat any time.

Sigh... Don't scare me by saying stuff like that...!

You seem like quite the playful type, Ms. Luka.

Hehe. Well, thank you...

But there's no need to be so formal with me.

Oh, then... Just Luka is okay?

Yes. Thank you, Shizuku♪

Hehe. It feels like we're already friends.

Luka's great at singing, dancing, and talking to the crowd♪

Yeah♪ She can really do everything!

I sort of had the impression that Luka's reliable and ladylike, and I guess this means she really is.

Yeah! Her idol aura is so strong too!

Her charisma has to be off the charts!

You're right. I'm a little jealous.

Huh? But you're always shining too, Shizuku! You're a great singer and dancer, and I love how you can do anything!

Um, well... I can't do everything...

It actually takes me longer to memorize songs and dance routines than most.

Wait, really?!

Shizuku may not be the type that can pick up something new immediately, but she makes up for it with her work ethic.

That's surprising...

I never would've guessed...

...

Anyway, shall we get started with our meeting?

We'd love to get your input as well, Luka.

Yes, of course.

Wow! You really started doing livestreams?!

Yep. We only just did our introduction video, but we're planning on doing more moving forward.

Hey, how did it feel, livestreaming?

It's really wonderful that we got to see everyone's comments in real-time.

Since this was such an important announcement, we thought about recording it beforehand so that we could edit it...

But I feel like doing it live allowed us to express our feelings better than we could have in a recorded video.

I think so too!

Some of the comments were a bit harsh...

But seeing everyone's comments right then and there really made it feel like our feelings reached them! It was really nice!

Hehe. That's wonderful.

Yeah. I get the feeling MORE MORE JUMP! is actually perfectly suited for livestreaming.

I agree. I think our focus should be on livestreaming for the time being.

...!

(Focus on... Livestreams...)

(Our last video was just us doing a short introduction, so I was able to get through it without any issues...)

(But if we keep doing live videos, I...)

Do you have any idea what kinds of streams you want to do?

Well... There's lots of things I'd like to try, but nothing really concrete. Do you have any ideas, Shizuku?

Oh, well... Um...

I'm sorry. Not off the top of my head.

Hm?

Yeah, that's a tough one. How about you, Miku?

Hmm... I'm not sure. I can't really think of anything specific on the spot either...

But doing something you think the fans will enjoy is probably the best way to go, right?

Something our fans will enjoy...?

Oh!

I just thought of something!

Nice! That was quick!

What have you got, Minori?

Okay!... Um... What about showing everyone what we're usually like?

What we're usually like?

Yeah! From the fans' perspective, getting the chance to see how their favorite idols act when the cameras are off would feel like a special treat!

They normally only get to see idols on TV or while they're performing, right? I bet seeing everyone in a new light would make them like you even more...!

A side of us that we don't show on TV or on stage...?

That's true. There are a lot of fans out there that like behind-the-scenes stuff.

But...

Won't some of the fans get disillusioned if they learn too much about that side of us?

That's definitely a possibility. There are sure to be fans who would prefer not to know what their idols are like in their private lives.

Y-You think so?

I was always happy to learn...

I think it's a really interesting idea! Personally, I think everyone in MORE MORE JUMP! is always super cute♪

Um... O-Okay...

If it's worrying you, we can come up with other ideas before making a decision.

...

(The fans are expecting me to be perfect, so that means I can't let my guard down even if it's a behind-the-scenes look.)

(But I can't let my personal circumstances limit what the others can do. Especially not now after finally getting started.)

(As long as I can maintain this perfect persona at all times...)

...

I'm probably overthinking it.

Your idea is wonderful, Minori.

Are you really sure it's okay?

Yes, I'm fine.

I didn't mean to make you worry.

Okay. Then let's start planning some content with that idea in mind. Miku, Rin, Luka, thank you for the feedback.

You're very welcome!

I'm looking forward to your streams♪

I'm sure the fans will love it too!

I hope so too...

(I have to do my best to not disappoint the fans...)
