※The following is an unofficial fan translation
“Let’s brave the distant future together with Haruka!”
[Note: Haruka’s name means “far off” or “distant,” and she is using its literal meaning here]
I’m Haruka Kiritani of MORE MORE JUMP!
I’m really happy to be able stand on stage as an idol again.
…even if there are some of you out there who already know who I am.
When I was little, the simple act of smiling was an ordeal for me. I had a complex about not being able to smile well.
However, it was an idol who finally got me smiling.
“Idols are so amazing to be able to get others smiling in the way that they do. That’s the kind of person I want to be.”
With that thought in mind, I became an idol like the one I adore.
However, I was disappointed with my own performance, to the point that I stepped down from the stage.
But it was then that I was able to meet Minori.
Minori told me how much she looks up to me, and wants to become an idol just like me.
Just like how I also once looked up to my own idol.
Minori says how she herself still isn’t idol-worthy yet, and that we should stick to the three-leaf clover as our group motif…
But you know, the three-leaf clover has special meaning in the language of flowers.
It carries the meaning of ‘hope,’ as well as ‘promise.’
With Minori, Airi and Shizuku, we’ll become an idol group who gives others the hope to strive for a better tomorrow.
Just like how Minori has given me hope.
Furthermore, I promise our fans that I will never falter as an idol again.
So from here on out…
Please lend me, Haruka Kiritani of MORE MORE JUMP!, your support forever and ever!
Fufu, I got a little too caught up in the moment back there. It surprised me, too.
…Minori? You say I sounded just like how you remember seeing me on TV?
Fufu, I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Hm? You’re grateful to my parents, you say? Why is that?
You thank them for having me?
Please, you make too big a deal out of it.
Still, I myself would like to express my gratitude to your parents, Minori. I’d like to say something like, “Thank you raising such a wonderful girl who became our dearest friend.”
Whoa, Minori?
Fufu, you’re at a loss for words? Now that you do know, try to calm down, okay?

Message from Mayu Yoshioka
“I voice Haruka Kiritani-chan of the idol group, MORE MORE JUMP!”
“At first glance, she may appear as the cool and collected type, but she’s a very serious girl who was once a top idol and possesses a strong sense of professionalism. I think I can understand why Minori-chan admires her so much. The life of someone who possess the qualities of a regular high school girl while also being loved by countless fans must be amazing, indeed.”
“I’m also looking forward to seeing more of these four girls as a fan of theirs!”
**UPDATE ON JULY 28, 2020**
“I’ll become an idol who can bring hope to all!”
