Okay, when you put it all together, it goes something like this...!

So we do some quick self-intros, talk about what we do each day, what goes on behind the scenes during our shows and maybe throw in some fun games to play with everyone...

And we cap it all off by thanking them all for coming to see us! Yeah, this should work great!

Oh, I like the third part the most!

I really don't know what'll happen, but it'd be so much fun to do a tongue-twister battle with Len!

How do you do it, Airi?

Where do you get all these great ideas?

I mean, I've been doing this for a while now...

Is something wrong...?

Uh, no... It's nothing.

I was reminded of something, is all.

Is it something bad...?

Wanna try talking about it?

Yeah, you helped us so much already. If there's something bothering you, we want to help.

Thanks, you guys...

Well, if you don't mind, we can talk about it a little.

Which is why I haven't been feeling all that great lately...

I had no idea...

I know that dwelling on the past like this is pointless, but my mind just always seems to wander back to that time.

Do you not like how your past self agreed to appear on all those variety shows...?

Huh?

No, I don't hate myself or anything...

I just feel a little lost, you know...?

There was a time when I really loved seeing how an idol shined on stage, and I decided that I wanted to be just like them.

As I started learning more and more about idols, I convinced myself that making others feel the way I did was the best way to go.

Eventually, that turned into inspiring hope in others.

But while I was on those variety shows, it felt like I completely lost touch with that...

How?

Variety idols are still idols, right?

Yeah, I know.

I know, but...

(The odds of someone telling me that back then was...)

Airi...

...

I don't think you lost touch...

Huh...?

I think Airi the Variety Idol never lost touch and spread hope to people like she said she would.

What do you mean...?

I mean that you gave us hope when you were giving us advice on how to MC.

It became so clear that you put a lot of effort into making sure your fans genuinely enjoy themselves. Am I wrong?

I'm certain that you maintained that work ethic and passion while you were on those variety shows.

You did everything you could for your fans, right? I'm sure you were able to touch the hearts of so many people because of that.

They had to believe that tomorrow would be amazing because of you, Airi.

Really? You think so...?

Of course. Maybe not everyone feels the same way about this...

But I'm positive that there are people out there who you were able to reach and inspire.

Len...

Len, that was perfect!

Huh?

I wanted to say what you just said, but wasn't really sure how to say it so... Thanks for saying it so perfectly!

Hehe. You're welcome, Rin...

Yeah, I need to thank you too.

I feel much better now, Len.

I'm gonna give our next event everything I have!

Great! I know you will, Airi!

Okay, shall we begin our sneak peek stream?

Yeah!

But before we start, I need to ask you something, Airi...

Huh? What's up?

Do you want people to see you as you are right now?

Do you want everyone to see Airi Momoi of MORE MORE JUMP! who puts everything she can into her singing, dancing and MCing?

Huh...?

What do you mean...?

Please.

Just try to answer honestly.

Of course I do!

Idols can't inspire hope in anyone if nobody's there to see them!

Understood. Thank you...

Then let's begin our stream.

Minori, can you get us started?

Yup!

Pressing start... Now.

Thank you for watching our stream!

We actually have a bit of a special announcement to make.

<Hm? You do?>

<Special announcement!>

Can you guess what it is?

Hehe. Would you three like to give the answer?

Yeah! Of course!

We gonna...!

Do a special graduation event at an elementary school!

Unfortunately, it's about to be closed down. We received a request to perform for the students and make it a special occasion for them.

<You're doing a show at an elementary school?!>

<That's so sad, but I'm super jealous too!>

<Come to our school too! Please!>

We won't just be doing a show either. We're gonna play all sorts of fun games with the kids too.

We'll be breaking into teams, competing against each other and streaming all of it! This isn't something we usually do, so I hope you'll remember to tune in!

<I totally will!>

<This is gonna be awesome! I can't wait!>

You'll also get to see a separate special performance...

Uh, Haruka?

What special performance...?

The four of us will be doing a show, but you'll also get to see Airi do a special solo performance.

...!

After the school contacted us about this event, we received some messages from the students... And Airi received the most messages.

Which is why we think that they'll really like to see Airi do a solo show.

<Yeah, I wanna see it too!>

<I love how her singing voice is so uplifting!>

Haruka...

(Is this why you asked me that question just now...?)

Alright, if they want to see me sing that much, I can't really say no, huh?

So make sure to check it out, you guys! I'm gonna give my solo show everything I have!

Our next stream is going to be very special, so we hope that you'll be there to join us! Stay tuned, everyone!

Uh, Haruka...

I'm doing a whole show on my own now?

Yes, and the reason is simple. Like I said, you received the most number of messages from the students.

But that doesn't mean they all like...

If these students were only interested in Happy Everyday, then the school would've only asked you to come.

But they asked for MORE MORE JUMP! That makes me think these kids want to see Airi Momoi and not Happy Everyday.

Did you ask her to do this, Shizuku...?

No. Haruka was actually the first to realize that something was bothering you.

A-Also...!!

I really want those who've only seen you on variety shows to see the real you, Airi! I want them to see Airi Momoi the idol!

I... I think it's such a shame that some people have this incomplete image of you in their heads...!

Minori...

I'm of the same opinion.

I really hope these students get a chance to see the girl behind The Masked Variety Idol, Happy Everyday they love so much.

Mask or no mask, you have a talent for inspiring hope in others. You're an inspiration to them...

*Sigh*...

I mean, talk about a curveball. Who makes someone do a show like this?

I'm sorry.

But I already agreed to do it, so I have no choice but to follow through.

Airi...!

We're gonna give it everything we got starting today all the way through the event!

Yeah!

Oh, Airi, I'd like to make a small request too...

Since you'll be performing on your own, what if you sang that one song...?
