Nice work, everyone!

I'm glad that our final stream of the year went as well as it did.

“New Year's Eve With MORE MORE JUMP!” was a huge success!

I'd love to make my own soba noodles again! Especially since they ended up being so yummy!

Still, we got a lot of viewers this time around.

I have to think that your commercial did the trick again for us, Shizuku.

Hehe. That certainly would be nice.

Let's keep up the momentum starting tomorrow when the new year begins.

Yes, I agree!

You all sound very excited about the upcoming year.

Things might be a little hard right now, but I'm sure you girls will find a way to overcome this obstacle.

Anyway, let's switch gears and start preparing for our next stream!

Even though we have New Year's Day off, we'll be streaming on the second. So, we'll need to get everything in order for that.

Yeah, about that...

I thought we could do some extra segments. What do you guys think?

That sounds wonderful!

After all, we want everyone to have as much fun as possible.

But what kinds of extra segments should we do?

We're only just now planning them, so we probably won't be able to do anything too involved...

Actually, what do you already have planned for your stream on the second?

Let's see... We're going to draw our fortunes using the omikuji boxes we made, and make the New Year's dishes our fans request and have a little feast together. It should be pretty festive.

Wow!

That sounds like such a fun New Year's stream!

It is important to do seasonal stuff for these kinds of streams.

Then, does that mean your extra segments should also have a New Year's feel to them?

A New Year's feel...

In that case, what if you did another stream about New Year's games?

Another stream about New Year's games?

Yes, because we heard that the one you did last year went very well. You may have some new fans watching, so it could be good to do another one.

It did go pretty well last time...

But we sort of landed on trying not to do anything too similar to what we've already done.

Right.

But...

I see nothing wrong with that idea!

It should be fun for everyone, as long as we change up which games we play.

Yeah, good point.

Then, it's settled!

Your extra segments will be another round of New Year's games!

In that case, let's start deciding which games we're going to play, shall we?

We have a long list of options.

But the ones that would make our New Year's stream fun for everyone would be...

Let's see... We played Karuta and Fukuwarai last time... So, for this stream, what if we made mochi together? We could take turns using the pestle!

I'm not sure many people would count making mochi as a New Year's game...

Also, even if we started looking now, I doubt we'd be able to find a proper mortar and pestle in time.

Right... I thought it was a good idea, since we didn't get a chance to last time...

Wait, actually... What if we played a true-to-life version of Fukuwarai?

A true-to-life version?

Yeah! People on social media have been talking about how you can take pictures of each other and make cutouts using them!

Whoa! That sounds really fun!

Yeah. And it would be a fresh take on something we've already done, so we could have a lot of fun with it.

Then, I'll put true-to-life Fukuwarai on the list. What else can we play...?

Hmm...

Fukuwarai is definitely a good idea...

But nothing else seems to fit the bill.

Well...

Playing with spinning tops and kites would be fun, but they're missing that extra something...

At least one more game would be nice.

Ideally, something that involves us competing against each other, since everyone watching could try to guess who's going to win...

Yeah...

But we also don't have a lot of time...

Alright, I'll try finding something tomorrow!

Find? What do you mean?

As it so happens, I'm gonna go check out the New Year's sales with Ena tomorrow. I'll try seeing if the toy stores and stuff have anything we can use.

Right...

A toy store could provide you with some new insights...

So, Airi, would it be possible for me to join you tomorrow?

Huh?

Seeing what each store carries may help me come up with a good idea.

And I'd like to do what I can to help you all shine as brightly as possible when you do play these games!

Yes, you're absolutely welcome to join us!

But I won't be able to talk to you much, since I'm gonna be there with my friend. If you're okay with that...

Of course!

I'll take quick peeks while staying hidden in your pocket!

Sounds good.

Then, I'll see you tomorrow!

Let's do our best to make our New Year's stream a good one!

Yeah!
