**[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!
