[00:01] ---
    A thrill was born that day...
[00:04] ---
    Ever since that day...
[00:07] ---
    ...the world began to change!
[00:12] ---
    Hm... What about this?
[00:16] ---
    I'm not really feeling it.
[00:19] ---
    What do you want to do?
[00:21] ---
    Let's try another store.
[00:23] ---
    Sure!
[00:25] ---
    Remember that plushie
    I wasn't able to get last time?
[00:28] ---
    I looked online, and it was in an auction...
[00:34] ---
    Ayumu, why don't you get this?
[00:37] ---
    It'll look great on you.
[00:40] ---
    I-It's okay. I mean, it's cute,
    but it's super childish.
[00:45] ---
    You think so? You were wearing
    stuff like this up until recently.
[00:48] ---
    You're talking about when
    we were in grade school, right?
[00:51] ---
    I'm over those now.
[00:54] ---
    Just wear whatever you want.
    You look super cute in whatever you wear.
[00:58] ---
    --There you go, saying stuff like that again.
[01:01] ---
    --Hey, look!
    --There you go, saying stuff like that again.
[01:03] ---
    Didn't you wear something
    like this in kindergarten?
[01:06] ---
    Wow, this takes me back.
[01:09] ---
    I'm Ayu-bun, bun.
[01:13] ---
    You were so adorable.
[01:16] ---
    Say...
[01:18] ---
    Do the thing.
[01:19] ---
    What thing?
[01:21] ---
    Ayu-bun.
[01:24] ---
    Huh?
[01:25] ---
    Like I'd actually do that, jeez!
[01:28] ---
    Aw...
[01:29] ---
    I'm starting to get hungry.
    Why don't we go downstairs?
[01:32] ---
    Agreed, bun!
[01:34] ---
    Yu-bun sounds way cuter.
[01:36] ---
    You're wrong, bun.
[01:40] ---
    So, what should we eat?
[01:41] ---
    I'm feeling buns.
[01:43] ---
    You read my mind.
[01:45] ---
    Oh, yeah.
[01:46] ---
    So during second period today...
    Hey, what flavor is that?
[01:50] ---
    Wanna bite? It's the limited-edition
    lemon salt custard.
[01:54] ---
    Sure.
[01:55] ---
    Okay. Say, "Ah."
[01:57] ---
    Ooh, yum!
[01:59] ---
    That is good!
[02:00] ---
    You got some on your face.
[02:04] ---
    Wanna try mine?
[02:05] ---
    Oh, I know.
[02:08] ---
    Hey, move in closer.
[02:12] ---
    Ah...
[02:18] ---
    What should we do after this?
[02:21] ---
    Hm...
[02:22] ---
    Wanna catch a movie?
[02:25] ---
    Nothing interesting seems to be out right now.
[02:27] ---
    I guess we could just
    watch whatever like usual--
[02:32] ---
    Is there some kind of event going on?
[02:35] ---
    Setsuna-chan!
[02:39] ---
    You've got this!
[02:40] ---
    Setsuna-chan!
[02:43] ---
    Wait, is it just Setsuna-chan?
[02:45] ---
    Weren't they supposed to
    debut a new group today?
[02:50] ---
    Your emotions that take off running
    will make you stronger!
[02:56] ---
    When I don't know what to do,
    I'll just hold your hand
[03:16] ---
    I already said bye-bye to the past I spent
[03:24] ---
    Almost betraying my precious feelings
[03:27] ---
    I kept repeating risks and regrets
[03:30] ---
    Sounds like something exciting's going on.
[03:33] ---
    Let's go check it out!
[03:34] ---
    Yeah!
[03:44] ---
    Whenever we close our eyes,
    we can meet as many times as we'd like
[03:49] ---
    My heart beats faster and
    the future I believe in is right here
[03:54] ---
    The moment that the world shines
    with brilliant colors
[04:00] ---
    I want to see that with you,
    those feelings are my answer
[04:08] ---
    Your emotions that take off running
    will make you stronger!
[04:13] ---
    When I don't know what to do,
    I'll just hold your hand
[04:19] ---
    You don't need to hold back on
    the person you truly want to be
[04:25] ---
    See? Your dreams will start shining someday!
[04:30] ---
    Your emotions that leapt out aren't a lie!
[04:36] ---
    Even the hope born from tears
[04:42] ---
    Will connect with a strength
    that your eyes cannot see
[04:47] ---
    See? Your dreams will start shining someday!
[05:12] ---
    That was awesome!
[05:18] ---
    You're so cute!
[05:23] ---
    That was so good!
[05:24] ---
    Notice me!
[05:29] ---
    Wow...
[05:32] ---
    Yeah...
[05:33] ---
    Right? That was awesome, right?!
[05:35] ---
    Y-Yeah...
[05:37] ---
    She was so cool! So cute! That was insane!
[05:40] ---
    I've never seen someone like her!
[05:41] ---
    What is this feeling? It's so thrilling!
[05:45] ---
    Who was she?
[05:47] ---
    Hey, look! A poster!
[05:49] ---
    "Nijigasaki School Idol Club"
    "LIVE!!"
[05:50] ---
    There she is.
[05:51] ---
    "Nijigasaki School Idol Club"
    "LIVE!!"
    "DiverCity Tokyo Festival Plaza Stairs"
[05:52] ---
    Nijigasaki... School Idol Club?
[05:57] ---
    "Nijigasaki School Idol Club"
    "LIVE!!"
[05:57] ---
    Wait, Nijigasaki...
[06:00] ---
    That's our school!
[06:06] ---
    "Nijigasaki School Idol Club"
    "Love Live!"

[06:43] ---
    Morning.
[06:44] ---
    Morning.
[06:47] ---
    Not enough sleep?
[06:48] ---
    Sorta.
[06:49] ---
    Don't be late.
[06:51] ---
    I won't.
[06:56] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
[06:58] ---
    Let's go.
[06:59] ---
    Okay.
[07:11] ---
    We're going to have another quiz next week,
[07:14] ---
    so make sure you review this part.
[07:18] ---
    That's all for today.
[07:24] ---
    "Club Building"
[07:29] ---
    Ayumu!
[07:31] ---
    Were you waiting long?
[07:33] ---
    Nah, let's go home.
[07:34] ---
    Before we do that,
[07:36] ---
    there's somewhere I wanted
    to stop by. Do you mind?
[07:40] ---
    Sure, let's go.
[07:41] ---
    Thanks!
[07:46] ---
    Huh? W-Wait!
[07:50] ---
    Hey, where are we going?
[07:52] ---
    The School Idol Club!
[07:56] ---
    Say, Yu-chan...
[08:00] ---
    I'm not...
[08:04] ---
    I really had no idea about school idols.
[08:08] ---
    When I went home yesterday,
    I watched a ton of videos.
[08:13] ---
    They were all so cool and cute...
[08:17] ---
    They were all shining.
[08:20] ---
    They just grabbed my heart, you know?
[08:24] ---
    But the one I'm really interested in
    right now is the girl from yesterday.
[08:27] ---
    Her name is Setsuna Yuki-chan.
[08:29] ---
    "Chan"?!
[08:30] ---
    I guess she's pretty famous.
[08:32] ---
    Apparently, she's the mysterious
    and elusive school idol from Niji High!
[08:36] ---
    I wonder if she has a fan club.
[08:38] ---
    If she has her next performance
    lined up, I totally wanna go!
[08:40] ---
    B-But we're already second-years!
[08:43] ---
    We're going to go to
    prep school together, remember?
[08:46] ---
    We don't have any time for
    chasing after school idols...
[08:48] ---
    That's not a problem. Actually, it's perfect!
[08:51] ---
    When I listened to Setsuna-chan's songs
    while studying, I totally made progress!
[08:55] ---
    I totally aced our quiz today, too!
[08:58] ---
    I just feel super motivated, you know?
[09:02] ---
    I've never felt anything like this!
[09:10] ---
    First, I need to get her autograph!
[09:12] ---
    Let's go, Ayumu!
[09:13] ---
    Wait!
[09:19] ---
    So this is where all the club rooms are.
[09:21] ---
    Come to think of it, we've never been here.
[09:23] ---
    It's huge!
[09:25] ---
    Hey, where's the School Idol Club room?
[09:30] ---
    I dunno.
[09:32] ---
    No one's updated the homepage in a while,
    and it wasn't listed in the directory.
[09:37] ---
    Then how were you...?
[09:39] ---
    I just figured we'd stop by every room and ask.
[09:42] ---
    Really?
[09:44] ---
    Don't worry. We'll find it in no time!
[09:46] ---
    Oh, for crying out loud...
[09:50] ---
    Excuse me...
[09:51] ---
    Welcome to the Nagashi Somen Club!
    Did you want to join?
[09:55] ---
    No, we were just looking for
    the School Idol Club...
[09:59] ---
    Haven't heard of it.
[10:03] ---
    That looks really good...
[10:04] ---
    Please excuse us.
[10:16] ---
    We're not finding it at all...
[10:18] ---
    Well, this school has
    a ton of clubs and students.
[10:21] ---
    Apparently there are over a hundred clubs.
[10:24] ---
    Seriously?
[10:27] ---
    Um, excuse me...
[10:32] ---
    Have you heard of the School Idol Club?
[10:34] ---
    Do you know where it is?
[10:46] ---
    Maybe she's in a hurry...
[10:49] ---
    Sup, Rinari?
[10:52] ---
    Ai-san...
[10:55] ---
    Here. The School Idol Club is right here.
[10:59] ---
    No one seemed to know where it was...
[11:02] ---
    Well, the club was just created this year.
[11:05] ---
    Thanks. You're a lifesaver.
[11:07] ---
    No probs.
[11:11] ---
    I wasn't...
[11:12] ---
    I wasn't in a hurry...
[11:15] ---
    You just scared me a little.
[11:18] ---
    I see. I'm glad you weren't in a hurry.
[11:21] ---
    Do you like school idols?
[11:24] ---
    Huh? Yeah! I just got into them, but...
[11:28] ---
    I see.
[11:30] ---
    You, too?
[11:33] ---
    Y-Yeah, maybe? I'm not really sure yet.
[11:38] ---
    I see...
[11:40] ---
    Thanks. I'll go check out the club.
[11:43] ---
    Let's go, Ayumu!
[11:44] ---
    S-Sure...
[11:47] ---
    "School Idol Club"
[11:48] ---
    So this is...
[11:50] ---
    The Nijigasaki School Idol Club!
[11:54] ---
    Say, Yu...
[11:55] ---
    What are you doing here?
[11:58] ---
    General curriculum second-years,
    Yu Takasaki-san and Ayumu Uehara-san.
[12:03] ---
    I'm sorry... Have we met before?
[12:07] ---
    Well, I am the student council president.
    Of course, I know everyone's names.
[12:12] ---
    Huh? The student council president?!
[12:17] ---
    My name is Nana Nakagawa.
[12:19] ---
    Come to think of it, I guess I've seen you
    at the school assemblies before...
[12:24] ---
    Did you need something from this club?
[12:27] ---
    Yeah! I came to see Setsuna Yuki-chan!
[12:31] ---
    She won't be coming here anymore.
[12:35] ---
    Apparently, she quit being a school idol.
[12:40] ---
    It's not just her.
[12:42] ---
    This School Idol Club...
[12:45] ---
    "School Idol Club"
[12:47] ---
    ...has been disbanded as of this moment.
[12:50] ---
    What?!
[12:52] ---
    If you'll excuse me.
[12:56] ---
    No...
[13:06] ---
    I'm sure tomorrow will be just the same...
[13:11] ---
    There will never be happiness, but...
[13:13] ---
    Okay, that's good.
[13:15] ---
    Let's finish off with ten laps around the track.
[13:19] ---
    Quit whining and get going!
[13:22] ---
    Shizuku, I heard what happened
    to your other club.
[13:26] ---
    Now that you aren't juggling two clubs,
[13:28] ---
    you'll be able to concentrate
    on just the Drama Club, right?
[13:33] ---
    Zzz... Zzz...
[13:38] ---
    Crap...
[13:39] ---
    It's already evening. I have to hurry up,
    or Setsuna-chan will...
[13:45] ---
    Oh... I guess she won't yell at me anymore.
[13:54] ---
    You seem down, Emma.
[13:56] ---
    Karin-chan. Don't you have your modeling job?
[13:59] ---
    I'm off today.
[14:01] ---
    I see...
[14:05] ---
    What are you going to do
    about being a school idol?
[14:09] ---
    I've been trying to talk to Setsuna-chan
    since she's our president,
[14:12] ---
    but I haven't been able to get a hold of her.
[14:15] ---
    The club was just supposed to
    go on a short break...
[14:19] ---
    But now it's being disbanded?
[14:25] ---
    Don't make that face.
[14:30] ---
    Is there anything I can help with?
[14:40] ---
    I'm not going to give up!
[14:45] ---
    Ayumu, what flavor is that?
[14:47] ---
    The limited-edition
    raclette cheese and honey flavor.
[14:50] ---
    Wanna bite?
[14:51] ---
    Sure do.
[14:53] ---
    Then let's go halfsies.
[14:56] ---
    Here you go.
[14:59] ---
    It's really good.
[15:03] ---
    It's too bad.
[15:06] ---
    About Setsuna-san.
[15:08] ---
    Well, she should be at the school somewhere,
    so I'm sure we'll see her...
[15:11] ---
    Let's just forget that. I'm sure
    she had her reasons for quitting.
[15:18] ---
    I wonder if it's that hard...
[15:21] ---
    ...to chase your dreams.
[15:27] ---
    That's what it means to be an idol, right?
[15:31] ---
    I mean, I don't have any dreams
    of my own yet, but...
[15:35] ---
    If I could support someone
    chasing their dreams...
[15:39] ---
    Something would finally start for me, too.
[15:43] ---
    Or at least, that's what I thought.
[15:51] ---
    Just kidding!
[15:53] ---
    Let's stop by Odaiba on our way home.
[16:10] ---
    "Currently on sale!"
[16:10] ---
    What do you think?
[16:12] ---
    I think it's fine.
[16:13] ---
    "New items in store"
[16:13] ---
    Ooh, it's super cheap.
[16:24] ---
    What should I do about that shirt?
[16:27] ---
    Let's look at it again tomorrow.
[16:29] ---
    You sure?
[16:30] ---
    Yeah.
[16:32] ---
    Thanks.
[16:36] ---
    Oh, by the way.
[16:39] ---
    Tomorrow's math class...
[16:43] ---
    Ayumu?
[16:47] ---
    Let's start...
[16:49] ---
    Let's start this together, Yu-chan!
[16:55] ---
    I watched some videos, too...
[16:59] ---
    School idol videos. Not just
    of Setsuna-san.
[17:05] ---
    I watched a lot.
[17:07] ---
    I thought they were really amazing.
[17:10] ---
    They were able to all express
    their feelings so clearly.
[17:14] ---
    School idols are so amazing!
[17:18] ---
    I thought it'd be amazing
    if I could be like that, too...
[17:23] ---
    Ayumu...
[17:25] ---
    I'm sorry I couldn't
    actually say this at first...
[17:28] ---
    But I wanted to meet Setsuna-san, too!
[17:32] ---
    But if we did meet her,
[17:34] ---
    I felt like I'd just get
    too emotional, so I got scared.
[17:39] ---
    But once we've started moving, we can't stop.
[17:45] ---
    We can't hold back.
[17:54] ---
    I love them!
[18:02] ---
    I still love pink and cute clothes,
[18:07] ---
    and I still want to wear them!
[18:18] ---
    I want to be honest with myself.
[18:22] ---
    So... I want you to watch me.
[18:31] ---
    I...
[18:34] ---
    ...want to become a school idol!
[18:44] ---
    We can fly into the dreaming sky
[18:48] ---
    Because we're not alone
[18:51] ---
    I think that we can go as far as we want
[18:56] ---
    Beyond the sky
[18:59] ---
    Strongly wishing right now
[19:06] ---
    Higher, higher, see?
[19:14] ---
    I always kept this hidden
    deep within my heart
[19:20] ---
    And ignored these feelings
    that started to bloom
[19:28] ---
    I just couldn't find my confidence
    and kept my head down
[19:34] ---
    But you were the one who gave me
    a gentle push forward
[19:42] ---
    The warmth from holding your hand
[19:48] ---
    Gave me enough courage to fill my heart
[19:56] ---
    Now, let's walk the dreaming way
[20:00] ---
    It continues on into the future
[20:03] ---
    The light beaming from our dreams
    that have only just begun
[20:11] ---
    It's so thrilling, dreaming light
[20:14] ---
    Words just aren't enough
[20:18] ---
    So I'll put them into a song
[20:20] ---
    I hope the beating of my heart reaches you
[21:04] ---
    I still don't have enough courage
    or confidence right now...
[21:13] ---
    This is the best I can do...
[21:19] ---
    But will you see this dream through with me?
[21:34] ---
    Of course, I will!
[21:36] ---
    I'll always be by your side, Ayumu!
[21:46] ---
    Okay!
[22:04] ---
    As we slowly run down this path
[22:07] ---
    Something is trying to come to life
[22:10] ---
    I want to tell you, I want to tell you that
[22:17] ---
    The sky that we look up at every day
[22:20] ---
    Has a blue that changes with the seasons
[22:24] ---
    There are no rules, it's telling us
    to depict it however we please
[22:31] ---
    Let's not be in a hurry!
[22:33] ---
    Let's enjoy this thrilling time even more!
[22:37] ---
    Let's all pursue the things that we love
[22:46] ---
    We don't know where we're headed to just yet
[22:50] ---
    Hopefully, there's an exciting
    future awaiting us
[22:53] ---
    It'd make me happy
    if we can both smile about that
[22:57] ---
    Thank you again today
[23:00] ---
    Now, let us open up our very own maps
[23:03] ---
    And casually take flight
[23:06] ---
    I want to dream, aspire, and dream once again
[23:12] ---
    I just want to keep dreaming!
[23:30] ---
    Curse you, student council!
