Main Story
As the center of the nationally popular idol group "ASRUN," she made her idol debut in elementary school and maintained high popularity for a long time. At the beginning of the story, following the group's disbandment, she retired from the entertainment industry and returned to Miyamasuzaka Girls' Academy. On her first day back at school, Haruka caused a huge stir, attracting crowds of students from other classes. To avoid the attention, Haruka went to the rooftop, where she happened to meet Minori, who was just about to start practicing her dancing. Soon after, retired idol Airi and active idol Shizuku arrived at the rooftop while arguing. Haruka, who had been pulled behind a water tower by Minori to hide, couldn't wait any longer and got involved in their argument. Gradually, the conversation turned to Minori's dream of becoming an idol.~~During this time, Miku also popped out of the phone and intruded.~~With Shizuku's help, Airi agreed to join Shizuku in coaching Minori's training before her audition for Mory Agency. On the way home from school, Haruka learned of Minori's admiration for her, but she responded to Minori's efforts with silence. During the next day's rooftop practice, although Haruka hadn't said she would coach Minori the day before, she stayed nearby reading a book, using the excuse that the rooftop was quiet and no one came there. Later, during a practice session, Minori accidentally tripped and fell. Haruka immediately stepped forward to check her injuries, which fortunately were not serious. At that moment, Miku appeared from the phone again and pulled the four of them into the "Sekai," inviting them to watch a Live performance by herself and Rin. During one of the songs, all the penlights in the venue turned blue simultaneously. This was Haruka's image color, and seeing this sight, Haruka couldn't help but sigh in admiration. After returning to reality, Haruka remembered something and told Minori the next day that she would no longer come to the rooftop to read. Later, news of Shizuku's retirement suddenly arrived. Following the sprinting Airi and Minori, Haruka also helped find Shizuku at school. After learning about Shizuku's situation, Airi rushed to the theater of Shizuku's former group. After Shizuku chased after her, Haruka stopped Minori, who also wanted to follow, warning her that following them might lead to seeing things that shatter dreams. However, seeing Minori's firm resolve, she went to the theater with her. After the argument at the theater with Shizuku's former teammates, Airi and Shizuku reconciled and promised to return to the path of idols together and practice with Minori. The two also invited Haruka, but Haruka emotionally refused. It turned out that during her time in ASRUN, Haruka also had a junior, Mai, who entered the idol world because she admired Haruka. Mai also believed in Haruka's signature quote, believing that as long as one works hard, the future will surely be better. However, Mai later hit a slump. Although Haruka continued to encourage Mai relentlessly, those words of encouragement seemed to turn into poison. Due to over-practicing, Mai damaged her throat and had to retire as an idol. Because the blow was so immense, Mai attributed her misfortune to Haruka, and Haruka blamed herself deeply for it. By chance, Minori and the others ran into Mai, who had come looking for Haruka. The three learned about Haruka's past from Mai and helped Mai and Haruka meet on the school rooftop, allowing Mai to convey her regret and guilt. After hearing Mai's apology, Haruka stated that her retirement was not Mai's fault and told Mai not to blame herself too much. After Mai left, Haruka admitted to the three that the incident with Mai was indeed the catalyst for her retirement, but to prevent Mai from being bound by the past, she couldn't let her know. Minori encouraged the still self-deprecating Haruka, saying that Haruka could still bring hope to many people, but Haruka revealed an even sadder truth. The incident with Mai had caused Haruka severe psychological trauma. Since Mai's retirement, Haruka had been in a state of self-doubt, and gradually, her legs would tremble whenever she stood on stage, until eventually, she couldn't even stand properly. Saying she no longer had any lingering attachment to being an idol, Haruka bid the three farewell. One day, Haruka was called to the rooftop by the three again and was subsequently taken to the "Sekai." In the "Sekai," Minori and the others stood on stage and performed a Live specifically prepared for Haruka. During the performance, all the penlights in the venue turned blue once more. Watching Minori perform with all her might, Haruka recalled the scene of her first solo Live, which was also the first time she saw a venue filled with blue penlights. With the help of Miku and Rin, although her feet were still trembling, Haruka took Minori's outstretched hand from the stage and stepped up. Supported by Airi and Shizuku, listening to Minori's heartfelt expression of gratitude and seeing the familiar azure scenery before her, Haruka finally realized again that she had once brought hope to her fans, and the blue penlights were precisely the fans' response. Overcoming her psychological trauma, Haruka joined Minori and the others to perform the song belonging to this "Sekai" that the four of them had nurtured together. Afterward, Haruka found Mai again and conveyed her intention to return to the idol world. Finally, Haruka found Minori, Airi, and Shizuku on the school rooftop and proposed that the four of them form an idol group. The four hit it off immediately and decided to form the idol group MORE MORE JUMP!.

As a child, Haruka was not good at smiling and was often misunderstood as being unhappy. After accidentally getting separated from her parents at a mall, she was helped by an idol sister. She invited Haruka onto the stage to dance together, which made Haruka smile happily and allowed her parents to find her. Haruka, who admired her, resolved to become an idol from then on.

Event 130いつか花咲くステージへIn [Event Name], while organizing streaming equipment, she began considering future activity methods and mentioned to MEIKO and KAITO that this was influenced by ASRUN's former producer. MEIKO and KAITO suddenly told Haruka that a new location had appeared in the SEKAI. The three of them found a butterfly in a flower field resting on a flower entangled in ivy. While untangling the ivy, she was suddenly enveloped in light and saw a scene of the idol sister she met as a child teaching children to sing in a kindergarten. The idol sister also happened to see Haruka's active performance on TV and was deeply moved that Haruka was an idol again. Although she didn't know if it was real, after learning that her admired sister gained strength from her, Haruka realized that no matter how she acts in the future, the most important thing is still the heart of "delivering hope to everyone."

She then made a wish for the sister to continue watching her until they meet at the Dome. Event 133Lead to shine moreIn [Event Name], she and the others discussed and decided on the criteria for accepting work. After the group initially decided the primary criteria were "being able to deliver hope to everyone" and "being seen by many people," she felt they had overlooked something. After returning home, she remembered the importance of a strong personality taught by Producer Hiiragi during her ASRUN days. Later, to understand MMJ's personality, she went to the SEKAI to consult KAITO and Len and received the answer: "staying true to oneself even in front of fans." Based on this, they chose a town revitalization documentary over a variety show competition, despite the latter's higher popularity. During recording, through everyone's efforts, the local residents went from being unwelcoming to gradually accepting them and overcoming many difficulties together. After the program aired, Haruka was officially appointed as MMJ's producer by everyone. Event 138Chase my IDEAL IDOL！In [Event Name], she and MMJ accepted an invitation to perform at the music festival "IDOL LOVERS," known as the gateway to success for rookie idols, and were to perform alongside the rookie group ReLight.

Event 157Rise and StriveIn [Event Name], she was concerned about why they weren't receiving any work and investigated the matter. She eventually overheard that MMJ's original spot had been taken by ReLight due to Producer Hiiragi's aggressive promotion, and rumors of such tactics were already circulating about him. After confronting Producer Hiiragi, who happened to be passing by, he frankly admitted that he had simply conveyed his desire to "work with people who believe in ReLight's future potential." At the same time, Producer Hiiragi believed that idols are a light that must never fade; once a light has gone out, even if it is relit, there is no guarantee it will stay lit. He believed in ReLight's potential and stated he would never yield the path to MMJ. Haruka, who had once given up on being an idol, was left speechless and briefly fell into a state of confusion, but she pulled herself together with Luka's encouragement. She then told the truth to everyone, and they sought a way to turn the situation around together. Just then, they received a grand gift from their landlady—an invitation to the "LUMINA Grand Prix."

Event 175All ways Jump! with youIn [Event Name], she and the others were transported to a parallel world dream by a black fragment on a sapling. In this world, after Haruka gave up being an idol, she learned that her older sister, who had inspired her to become an idol, continued to shine in various volunteer activities even after retiring. Thus, she began to actively involve herself in volunteer work. During a subsequent volunteer activity, she gained the courage from Minori to continue delivering hope in her own way. Finally, after learning that Minori had decided to participate in the group's selection member audition, she went to the rooftop to bring refreshments and happened to run into Airi and Shizuku. The four of them gathered on the rooftop once again and gradually regained their memories during practice. Event 180Our Golden DaysIn [Event Name], she was invited to perform at a music festival on an island. She joined a group with Saki, An, Emu, and Mizuki for a stamp rally tour around the island.

Event 188この物語は希望をのせてIn [Event Name], for the final task of the LUMINA Grand Prix, CheerDay, ReLight, and Hikari were grouped together to hold an outreach concert at a cram school. Due to the proximity of exams and many children performing below expectations, the atmosphere in the class was very tense, and they weren't in the mood for a concert. Facing this challenge, Haruka took on the heavy responsibility of director and established a basic policy with everyone—reducing performance time and increasing interactive segments to help the children relax. When everyone was hesitant between several feasible interactive segments, Haruka boldly decided to seek advice from their competitor, Producer Hiiragi, and the performance was ultimately a success. Afterwards, MMJ pulled off an upset by advancing to the finals in second place in the qualifiers.
