*Sigh*

(Everything went horrible this morning...

I was almost late for school, I forgot to do my homework...)

(And I left tomorrow's worksheets I was supposed to do at the MORE MORE HOUSE!)

Thank goodness I realized that before getting home...

They're due tomorrow, so I need to absolutely make sure to do them...!

H-Hello!

(I didn't think anyone else would be here since we don't have practice or any meetings today...)

(But the door was open.

Is someone here...?)

Shizuku...! Sh-Shizuku...!!!

Huh?!

Ah, she's beautiful right down to her fingertips...! This joint performance is the best thing that has ever happened...!

Minori and Haruka are also really cute!

I could watch them do this dance forever...!

You're shining so bright, Airi!

Th-This is too amazing. I'm starting to tear up...

M-Minori?!

Wh-Wh-When did you get here...?!

J-J-Just now!

O-Oh, okay...

Umm... I'm sorry. I didn't mean for you to see that...

N-No!

Don't say that!

Were you watching yesterday's Idol Lovers?

Yes! As an idol fan, that show now has a very special place in my heart...!

I decided to take a break after finishing up some work, but I got a bit carried away... Before I realized it, I was shouting at the top of my lungs.

I know exactly how you feel!

Videos make things so convenient since you can watch your favorite parts as much as you like!

I'll sometimes go to see a show or concert live and still pay to see the recording of it later...

Me too! Yes, the atmosphere is always amazing, but you won't necessarily get to see your favorite idols up close. These videos give you that power...

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean!

Still...

Your performances from yesterday really are something else. I can't help but watch them over and over again.

As I mentioned to you all yesterday, that was the most I'd ever seen you shine... I was so moved!

And the audience was so incredible!

I'm sure you all noticed as well, but they went crazy for every group that performed... It was electric!

So, I'm sure that you spread hope to a huge number of people!

Hehe. That's really great to hear!

I also had a lot of fun yesterday!

ReLight and MORE MORE JUMP! both did their absolute best and shined like crazy.

Seeing that made me think...

Idols really are the best...!

Minori...

But...

I know I can't be satisfied with just this yet!

Huh?

I can't just keep thinking that I wanna shine and sparkle like the others...

I need to keep working harder!

I want to shine more and more like they did!

My training paid off yesterday.

But I still have a lot of work left to do since I'm still just getting on my feet...

So, I've gotta keep getting better to produce the same results as yesterday. No, even better results...! Because I want to spread hope to as many people as I can!

Hehe...

You really are a wonderful person, Minori.

Huh?

I thought you shined so brightly yesterday...

But you are right now as well.

You're always facing forward, doing your best and not letting anyone or anything get you down...

That's why you fill me with so much hope.

Just like all your fans.

So, I believe you will succeed!

You're going to shine even brighter, and become the best idol ever!!!

...!

And I promise to keep doing my best to give you all the support I possibly can! I'll also be looking forward to your next show!

Thank you so much, Saito...!

I also plan on doing my absolute best!

(I've gotta keep trying...!)

(To become the best idol ever...

To do what Airi did yesterday!)

(I wanna shine brighter and brighter...!)
