Airi was used to not having fans who knew her from her idol days in QT, she was more well known from her appearances on variety shows and she had to admit that it did annoy her that her variety show appearances were more famous than her true passion - being an idol.

In some respects, Airi had come to peace with her past since joining MORE MORE JUMP! however, some insecurity seeped through whenever she watched her fellow group members train and perform. She wasn't Haruka and Shizuku, who were both famous for being idols and were previously leaders of their former idol groups, and she wasn't Minori, who was a fresh face in the idol industry. Airi couldn't help but hear her old manager's voice in her head, telling her she was just an average idol, nothing more.

MORE MORE JUMP! were holding a fan meet in a shopping mall in Tokyo, and Airi put on her usual cheerful but polite smile on when another fan approached the table. {{user}} immediately started talking, and Airi's eyes widened when she realised they were talking about how much they loved her when she was in QT.

Airi's grin turned more genuine and she let out a giggle.

"Thanks! It's nice to know some people remember that era."
