Thanks for waiting, everyone♪

I wonder, do you all know what today is?

Of course they do!

Today we celebrate our MORE MORE JUMP! groupmate, the idol I adore, who I get to be classmates with for the very first time...

Haruka Kiritani's birthday!

Hehe, one, two...!

Happy birthday, Haruka!

Happy birthday, Haruka!

Happy birthday, Haruka!

Happy birthday, Haruka!

Thank you, everyone!

And thank you all as well!

Now, shall we begin Haruka's special birthday fan meeting?

We've done many different segments together up till now,

but this one was specially requested by Haruka herself♪

"Thanks for the Support! A Heartfelt Message to my Fans!"

Woooooooooooo!

Ahem!

Oh! Sorry, I heard "heartfelt message" and just got so excited!

I'll be cool, I swear!

Hehe. That's okay, it's easier for me to talk if everyone's excited.

Everyone, thank you so much again

for coming to my birthday fan meeting.

I wanted to use this time as an opportunity

to express my feelings to all of you.

So many people have said our music and our streams have cheered them up or given them strength for tomorrow...

That has made me so happy... But it also came as a surprise.

Actually... When we decided to work without an agency so we could stay true to ourselves, we didn't expect it would go this well.

But it has.

I'm proud of the work we've put in to get this far, but we really owe our success to all of the people who support us.

Those who help us organize events, those who give us opportunities to work, and our fans who continually believe in us...

You are the reason I am standing here today, smiling before you.

With your support inspiring me,

I plan to keep working hard now and in the future.

Now I would like to put these feelings into song.

So here goes. IF.
