So many more people than usual tuned in to watch our “Post Solo Show Stream”!
We must be getting featured after seeing such a large increase in subscribers.
Some of our first-time viewers even wrote in the comments for us. I felt compelled to do my best to make sure they also got to enjoy themselves.
Hehe. Same.
However, an increase in viewership means having to think whether or not we can do the same stuff we've been doing moving forward.
Which is why I'd like to pick back up on the discussion we were having before our stream...
I-I'm really sorry!
My mom just asked me to go buy some ground beef at the store after she forgot...!
Apparently, if I don't go, the meat sauce for our pasta's just going to consist of canned tomatoes!
That actually sounds good by itself, but it wouldn't be meat sauce without any meat. You probably should go run to the store for her.
I'm super sorry!
I know we were about to have a really important discussion...!
Well, it is getting pretty late anyway, so don't worry about it.
Th-Thanks...!
I promise to think more about our future goals once I get home!
Anyway, I need to get to the store!
See you all later!
Okay, see you.
Gone. Just like that...
Hehe. Minori really is a big bundle of energy.
Yeah, but...
She really threw us a curveball there.
She did...
Our fans are hoping that we'll be able to stand on the biggest stage and spread hope to more and more people!
So, I want us to seriously try to become idols who are able to perform at Japan's biggest venues, like the Dome...
I want us to become top idols!
The truth is, one of our fans said, “My dream now is to see MMJ perform at the Butokan!”
At the Butokan...?
When I saw that, a part of me said, “That'd be really amazing,” while another part of me went, “Not as we currently are.”
Yeah...
The three of us used to be in famous idol groups, and we're blessed to have fans who've been following us since that time.
However, that was then and this is now. Not all of our fans ended up making the transition, so there's no way we'll be able to fill 15,000 seats in our current state.
Which is why my jaw sort of dropped when I heard about us performing at the Dome...
Yeah, Airi's right.
I felt the exact same way.
But despite that, I...
Minori's words made me realize that it's not about how many seats we can fill. The old me never worried about anything like that...
Back then, I just wanted to spread hope to as many people as I could.
...!
Yes, when we started our group, a part of me hoped that we'd get to perform at the Dome as MORE MORE JUMP! someday...
But that's “someday”...
And I know it's far into the future.
Yeah...
As idols, we've got a lot of work to do before we can perform there.
But it's a great goal...
I mean, what idol wouldn't want to perform at the Dome in front of a full house?
Exactly...
Again, what Minori said brought me to this realization.
Our goal is to spread and inspire hope in as many people as possible. That hasn't changed and it isn't going to anytime soon...
And if we keep doing our best, the Dome will be waiting for us.
Let's go for it. Not “someday”. Now. Let's do everything we can to fill the biggest venue in Japan and spread hope to everyone we meet.
As top idols.
Yes!
Let's do it!
That's actually kinda funny since a lot of people have been saying that they couldn't get tickets for our solo show. In hindsight, 700 was probably too low.
Plus, that article gave our channel a huge subscriber boost...
I've been chatting with Saito about this, and she thinks that we can expect at least 2,000 for our next event. Maybe even 3,000.
That's so many people...!
I was under the impression that 1,000 within six months or so might be possible...
But based on those figures, that's a venue the size of Shibuya Hall...
Yeah, that place is within our range now since it seats 1,900.
This is incredible...!
It's hard to believe that we're already in a position to do a show at Shibuya Hall...!
We really couldn't have asked for a better start. Honestly, not many idol groups catch fire like this right out of the gates.
However, the Dome seats 30,000. In our current state, there's just no way... But...
As long as we maintain this momentum, we'll get there. So...
Let's keep doing our best!
Yeah!
I'm so sorry about what happened yesterday! I feel awful about leaving since we were about to have a really important discussion!
That's okay.
Did dinner go okay last night?
Yup!
The meat sauce turned out great and the pasta was delicious! So I really appreciate you guys letting me go!
A-Anyway...
Is it okay if we pick up where we left off yesterday...?
Yeah, of course!
There's actually something we need to tell you, Minori.
Huh?
So, after you left, the three of us had a little discussion regarding our future...
Including what you said about us becoming top idols...
R-Really?!
Um... How did you all feel about that...?
We found that we're all in favor.
...!
To be perfectly honest, we weren't sure if we should have such a lofty goal since we just finished putting on our first solo show.
However, you made us realize something.
Spreading hope to the people who come to see us is important, but so is doing that for everybody in Japan.
Haruka...
So...
Let's do it.
Let's try to become idols who are worthy of performing at the Dome.
Whoa...!
However, that's easier said than done.
We're still just getting started as an idol group and are gonna need to jump through a lot of hoops to get there.
Right. At the same time...
It makes me want to work harder with all of you.
Me too. Not only that...
I see no problem with us having a dream since it's an idol's duty to spread hope and inspire dreams.
And I'm sure our fans will feel very inspired if we find a way to make our dream come true.
So, let's do it...
Let's become top idols, spread hope to as many people as we can and inspire them to dream!
Haruka...
After reading about how everyone felt about our show and thinking that we could become the best, a part of me began to wonder if I was getting way too ahead of myself...
But I really want to pursue that goal and I don't want to give up on it...
Which is why I'm really glad that I worked up the courage to bring it up with all of you. And hearing that you're all in favor of it made me so happy!
Minori...
Let's become top idols!
Together!
Yeah!
Yes!
