Hey, you guys gotta hear this! Guess what?!

We got a new offer for work!

Wow, really?!

What do you get to do this time?

We get to appear on a mini-segment for this online show, where we'll apparently showcase trending artists.

Wow, this is incredible!

And just the other day, you were all asked to appear on that local radio program out in the country.

Shizuku's commercial must be the reason why the offers are slowly starting to roll back in, yes?

Yes. The person who got in touch with us said her commercial was the reason, so it's definitely been having a big impact.

Hehe. You brought us back from the brink, Shizuku. That makes you our savior!

Savior might be a bit much...

But... I'm so glad that my commercial has led to us receiving offers for work once again.

And I plan on continuing to do everything I can to make sure we get to keep moving forward.

(Thank goodness.

There were moments when I genuinely believed that we'd stop receiving offers for good...)

(They are slowly starting to trickle back in.)

(But...)

Is something wrong, Haruka...?

Oh, umm...

I'm still a bit puzzled...

Puzzled?

Yeah. I am happy that we've started receiving offers again...

But the reason why we stopped receiving offers after Idol Lovers still remains a mystery.

Right...

To be fair, in show business, it's rare for anyone to get steady work. We might've just had a lucky streak up until that point.

But there's no doubting that we absolutely floored everyone at Idol Lovers.

Exactly. That's why I'm still wondering...

Why did we suddenly stop receiving offers after that?

Yes, we have started receiving offers again, but it's still a lot less compared to before we performed at Idol Lovers.

Which is why I think we should keep investigating the root cause a little more.

Haruka...

I'm sorry. I should be being more positive since we just got a new offer.

But I also believe that we each should be doing what we can right now. Saito and I will continue investigating this matter.

Okay, thanks.

But let us know if you two ever need any help.

Yeah! We can take care of coming up with ideas and writing scripts while you two investigate!

Okay. Thank you all very much.

Anyway, shall we start discussing our new offer...?

Yeah! Based on their proposal, we'll have a bit of time to talk about whatever we want, so we should use that chance to leave our mark!

Yeah!

Good work with today's meeting, Haruka!

You too.

And thank you again for attending as well this time. Unfortunately, the others couldn't make it, so you were a big help...

That's okay. Times like these are what a manager is there for! Don't be afraid to ask me for anything!

Hehe. I'm glad you're on our side.

That reminds me...

With regards to that little dry spell of offers, did you learn anything on your end...?

No... I tried asking people around the industry, but none of them were able to help.

I see...

(I even tried asking some of the staff we've worked with in the past between our meetings, but...)

(No one seems to know...)

(But...)

(They were behaving a little oddly...)

You're going to meet with the others to do a stream after this, yes? I'll be stopping by the store to pick up a few things, so please go on ahead without me.

Oh, okay...

Then, I'll see you in a little bit.

Yes, I'll see you again soon!

Okay, we'll have to wrap up today's stream here!

Thanks for watching our “Full Body Workout ☆ Dance Lesson”, everyone!

We tried turning the moves to a well-known idol song into a workout track. What did you all think?

<That was tough, but it was also fun working out to a song I know!>

<I'm gonna be able to dance like Airi now...!>

<This song sounds so familiar. Where have I heard it before...?>

This song was used for a snack commercial back in the day. We decided to choose it because of its catchy beat and how popular it was back then!

I remember trying to copy the dance from this commercial when I was in elementary school! I really enjoyed our workout because it felt like such a huge blast from the past!

Oh, that'd certainly explain why you didn't miss a single beat.

<Yeah, you nailed every move.>

<Oh, that commercial! Thank goodness you told us.>

<Speaking of commercials, I saw yours, Shizuku!>

Hehe. Some people are saying that they saw your commercial, Shizuku.

Really?

It's wonderful to hear that so many people have seen it now.

<But... MORE MORE JUMP! isn't on TV as much anymore.>

...!

<Yeah, does this mean no more variety shows?>

<TV sorta hasn't felt the same lately without you girls.>

Yeah... It's not always easy to make regular appearances since you need to know the right people and have a fair bit of luck.

We promise to let you all know if we do have anything planned, so stay tuned.

We also plan to spend more time on these streams to make up for less TV appearances.

So, we hope you'll all be looking forward to our next stream.

<Yeah, showbiz can be pretty tough...>

<It's cool that you'll be doing more streams.>

<I'm gonna watch your next one in real time too!>

Hehe. Thanks!

Anyway, as much as we hate to do this, it's time to say farewell.

Thanks for all the comments, you guys!

Make sure to stretch so that you don't feel sore tomorrow, okay?

<That was a great workout, but I am a little scared about tomorrow.>

<My upper arms are already pretty sore...>

<The cost of exercising...>

That was a pretty intense workout, so please make sure to cool down properly, everyone.

Thanks again for watching today.

See you guys later!

Some of our viewers have clearly noticed that we haven't been making as many appearances.

Yeah... We've started receiving offers again, but not nearly as many as before...

Which is probably gonna worry them...

Yeah...

If there's a reason behind all this, then we need to find out the truth.

(But we've already talked to just about everyone who we thought could tell us something.)

(The only person left is...)

(I know I shouldn't ask him...)

(But we don't have the luxury of keeping up appearances right now.)
