Hello!
Welcome, girls♪
Are you here to practice?
Oh...
Hehe. You're all smiling. That must mean you've got some good news for us.
Oh, wait...!
Does this mean your episode of iHaz aired?!
That's right! Good call, KAITO!
We heard that your shoot went well, but it finally aired?
How was it?
I hope they didn't edit it in a funny way.
We appreciate your concern, MEIKO.
But there's no need to worry...
Actually, maybe I shouldn't say it. I think we'd rather have you see for yourselves.
Yeah, you should've seen Shizuku! She was so amazing!
She was?! Hehe. I can't wait to see.
Then, we'll need to set up a place where we can watch it.
I've made it so we can play videos on the stage's big display! Here, use this cord!
KAITO, when did you...?
Hehe. Excellent work♪
Thank you very much, KAITO.
I'll play it now.
<So, let's bring in our guests!
Give a big round of applause for MORE MORE JUMP!>
<Aren't your fans from when you were still in Cheerful * Days going to be disappointed?>
<More to the point, Shizuku, tell us. Which one is the real you?>
<I, um...>
<However, I chose to just be myself.
Which...>
<Which made me realize how there are some things that only the real me had to offer. And I found that some were willing to accept me for who I really am...>
<So, even if I end up disappointing some of my old fans, I'm going to keep doing my best to spread hope to as many people as I can... As myself.>
Th-That was awesome...!
I was so moved!
Yes, me too.
I started tearing up a little while listening to your story, Shizuku.
Me three. I'm sure your fans felt glad that they kept supporting you all this time after hearing what you said.
Yeah, you should've seen the response she got!
I know, right?! We got so many messages saying, “I saw iHaz!” and “You're the best, Shizuku! What you did was so cool!” We still haven't gotten a chance to read all of them yet.
Hehe. I'm so glad for you, Shizuku.
Thank you all very much.
A job well done, Haruka.
And you too, Airi. You both did a wonderful job of supporting her.
Hehe. Thank you, MEIKO.
I really need to thank you again...
It was because of you I was able to make that decision to appear on TV, MEIKO.
As your fan, I want to say, “Don't worry.”
Including the hope and warmth you wish to spread to others.
And those things mean quite a lot to me...
So, a TV appearance isn't going to easily change how I feel about all of you.
Why you decided to become an idol in the first place or how you felt back then...
So, now might not be a bad time to look back on all that.
It was because of your words, we all got to take this big step forward.
So...
Thank you very much, MEIKO.
Hehe. You're very welcome♪
