Thank you all for joining us for another MORE MORE JUMP! livestream!
<Finally! Hi, Shizuku!>
<Hello!>
<Congrats on your TV appearance!>
Oh, it sounds like some of your fans want to jump right in with our TV appearance.
Yeah! Who here saw us on idol Hazard?
<I did! It was so awesome!>
<I was cracking up because you were such a nervous wreck, Minori.>
<I learned about your streams on iHaz!>
Wow! So many comments!
They really saw us on TV!
And some seem to be watching for the first time after seeing us on iHaz. Thank you all for joining us. We really appreciate it.
<Yeah, there's way more people here than usual today.>
<Welcome newbies!>
<MMJ's the best...>
Also, we'd like to thank everyone who sent us messages and such after it aired.
So, for today's stream, we'll be discussing what happened on iHaz.
That's right!
We're calling this the “Top Secret iHaz Talk Show☆”!!!
Yay♪
<Oh, does that mean we get to hear what happened behind the scenes?>
<Cool! Tell us more!>
Why don't we start by asking Minori how things went after stuffing her face with snacks in the green room and tensing up way too much during the shoot?
A-Airi...!
They don't need to know about what I ate!
<She stuffed her face lol.>
<That's Minori for you! What did they serve?>
<Yeah, tell us!>
Oh, you guys wanna know?
Then, I'll describe the green room while talking more about how the shoot went!
As a result, I froze up a few times... But I talked it over with Haruka afterwards, so I promise to do better next time!
Thank you, Minori...
Next...
<Your turn, Shizuku!>
<How'd it go for you, Shizuku?>
Oh, Shizuku, they want to hear from you.
You did receive a huge wave of support after it aired, so it makes sense that they want to hear what you have to say about what happened.
So, mind going next for us?
No, I don't mind.
How did it go...? To summarize briefly, I was very nervous the entire time...
<Wait, you were too?>
<Yeah. After all, Cheerful * Days was there.>
<Totally understandable. I was really afraid of what Arisa was gonna say.>
As I mentioned during our shoot, I was given a script each time I made an appearance when I was still in Cheerful * Days.
And the others would dive in to rescue me whenever I had to go off-script...
Again, I ended up being a terrible lead.
Shizuku...
However, that's why I felt motivated to do my best for this.
I didn't want to depend on a script or use my friends as a crutch.
I wanted to show Arisa, the others and everybody watching that I've grown as an idol and can stand on my own now.
And to say, “Thank you.”
<We heard you loud and clear, Shizuku!>
<Seeing you on TV made me so happy to be your fan!>
<I promise to follow you forever!>
All of you...
Thank you very much.
Our stream went really well today!
It was our first one after appearing on TV. Still, it was nice to see so many new people joining us for the first time.
And we got a ton of new subscribers. That means our archived streams should get even more views...
Oh...
Airi...?
Is something wrong?
This comment... I think it's a message for you, Shizuku.
What?
<Dear Shizuku...>
<I was a huge admirer of the mysterious and perfect version of you from when you were still with Cheerful * Days.>
<Which is why I had trouble accepting the MORE MORE JUMP! version of you... I actually stopped being your fan for a while.>
<But what you said on iHaz made me realize that you're still that person I admired so much.>
<I'm sorry for losing faith in you and even hating you for a bit. But, I hope you'll welcome me back as your fan.>
...
Th-This comment... I'm starting to tear up...! I'm so happy for you, Shizuku!
Thank you...
(What I said... How I really feel...
They really heard me...)
(There may be others who felt the same thing as this person...)
(But if I can keep reaching out to them one by one, I may be able to help them heal.)
(Which means I need to make each word I say count moving forward.)
(For the sake of my old fans, as well as those who've accepted me as a member of MORE MORE JUMP!)
