[00:00] ---
    The best wonderland in the whole wide world.
[00:04] ---
    That's where I thought I was going.
[00:08] ---
    Kasumi-san! Your movements need to be bigger!
[00:11] ---
    I'm not feeling your passion!
[00:13] ---
    Setsuna-chan, let's take a little break.
[00:16] ---
    It's never good to do too much at once.
[00:19] ---
    We don't have time for this!
[00:20] ---
    You all love school idols, right?
[00:23] ---
    You want to be one, right?
[00:24] ---
    We won't be able to fully express our love
    to the fans with a performance like this!
[00:32] ---
    But!
[00:33] ---
    This isn't cute at all!
[00:40] ---
    May I help you, Karin Asaka-san,
    a third-year taking the life design course?
[00:47] ---
    I guess it's really true that
    you know all of the students' names.
[00:51] ---
    Then do you know about
    Setsuna Yuki-san as well?
[00:55] ---
    Yes.
[00:56] ---
    I'm interested in school idols...
[00:59] ---
    But no one seems to have any idea
    what course she's taking or what class she's in.
[01:03] ---
    After some discussion with Yuki-san,
    the School Idol Club was disbanded.
[01:08] ---
    I don't think she'll meet with you
    to discuss school idols.
[01:14] ---
    I see.
[01:15] ---
    "Student Directory"
[01:15] ---
    That's too bad.
[01:19] ---
    Now to put my plan into motion!
[01:22] ---
    --Is that all you--
    --Eek! A cat!
[01:26] ---
    A cat?
[01:34] ---
    Hold it!
[01:40] ---
    "Student Council Office"
[01:48] ---
    Sneaky sneak!
[01:51] ---
    Yes! Looks like no one's here.
[01:55] ---
    "Cultural Fair Committee"
[02:00] ---
    What do you think you're doing?
[02:09] ---
    You're already back?!
[02:12] ---
    But I got what I came for! Farewell!
[02:17] ---
    Hold it!
[02:20] ---
    Pbbt!
[02:24] ---
    Honestly...
[02:35] ---
    "School Idol Club"
[02:37] ---
    That was a huge success!
[02:49] ---
    "Nijigasaki School Idol Club"
    "Love Live!"
[04:11] ---
    "Episode 2: Cutest Girl"
[04:11] ---
    O-Our club room...
[04:15] ---
    "Wandervogel Club"
[04:23] ---
    General curriculum first-year
    Kasumi Nakasu-san.
[04:27] ---
    I'm sure you know
[04:29] ---
    what I'd like to say to you.
[04:36] ---
    D'oh.
[04:39] ---
    That mean ol' student council president!
[04:42] ---
    She is pretty scary.
[04:43] ---
    But you shouldn't have snuck into
    the student council office.
[04:50] ---
    I guess our club room really is gone.
[04:54] ---
    This just means that it's
    do or die now, Shizuko!
[04:58] ---
    "Do" "or die" "Give us back our club room!!"
[04:58] ---
    Don't let the president oppress us like this!
[05:01] ---
    Yeah!
[05:05] ---
    I understand how you feel, but...
[05:06] ---
    Right?!
[05:09] ---
    Have you talked to Setsuna-san about this?
[05:12] ---
    Of course not!
[05:14] ---
    I've never seen her outside
    of our club anyway.
[05:17] ---
    That's true...
[05:19] ---
    Let's go, Shizuku.
[05:20] ---
    Oh, right.
[05:22] ---
    Sorry, I have to go to Drama Club practice.
[05:25] ---
    I'll contact you later.
[05:27] ---
    Hey!
[05:34] ---
    Shizuko is just so insensitive!
[05:36] ---
    And I haven't been able to get a hold of
    Emma-senpai or Kanata-senpai!
[05:41] ---
    At this rate,
[05:42] ---
    I'm just going to have to become
    the president and continue the club!
[05:47] ---
    I'm just going to create a Kasumi Wonderland
    overflowing with cuteness!
[05:51] ---
    I wonder how you become a school idol.
[05:55] ---
    Well, since "school" is in the name,
[05:57] ---
    you probably have to join
    a club at school to become one.
[06:00] ---
    You there!
[06:02] ---
    Are you two interested in school idols?!
[06:11] ---
    I'm Kasumi Nakasu, AKA, Kasumin,
    the second president of the School Idol Club!
[06:18] ---
    The School Idol Club?
[06:20] ---
    I'm Yu Takasaki!
[06:22] ---
    I'm Ayumu Uehara.
[06:24] ---
    But didn't the club disband?
[06:27] ---
    The club will continue on forever
    as long as you believe!
[06:32] ---
    Since we're friends now, here you go.
[06:35] ---
    --Are you sure?
    --Yes!
[06:36] ---
    Let's eat!
[06:41] ---
    It's so good!
[06:43] ---
    Did you get these from that one shop?
[06:44] ---
    Tsk, tsk, tsk. I made those myself!
[06:48] ---
    Wow, no wonder you're a school idol.
[06:51] ---
    You're so cute and you can cook!
[06:53] ---
    Huh? Cute?
[06:56] ---
    Oh, stop! I mean, there's no denying
    that I'm cute, but...
[07:02] ---
    You've got a good eye, Yu-senpai!
[07:05] ---
    Huh? You think so?
[07:07] ---
    Anyone can see that you're cute.
[07:10] ---
    Really?!
[07:12] ---
    Then will you two become school idols
    along with adorable little Kasumin?
[07:18] ---
    Do you think we can?
[07:21] ---
    Sure you can! Believe me!
[07:24] ---
    I'm going to make the cutest
    School Idol Club ever!
[07:31] ---
    Cute...
[07:33] ---
    Maybe I will do it then.
[07:36] ---
    So you'll join!
[07:37] ---
    Oh, by the way, I'm not looking
    to become an idol.
[07:41] ---
    I just wanted to support Ayumu.
[07:43] ---
    So you're going to be her personal manager?
[07:47] ---
    Um, maybe?
[07:48] ---
    That's not fair!
[07:49] ---
    --Then you should support me, too!
    --Huh?
[07:52] ---
    I have seniority when it
    comes to being a school idol!
[07:56] ---
    Meaning you should totally
    listen to the president!
[07:59] ---
    All right, Nakasu-san.
[08:00] ---
    Come on! Don't be such a stranger!
[08:03] ---
    Then I guess we should call you "Kasukasu"!
[08:05] ---
    No, not Kasukasu! It's Kasumin!
[08:07] ---
    Well, your name is Kasumi Nakasu,
    so I thought Kasukasu was fitting.
[08:10] ---
    Ugh, don't say it twice!
[08:13] ---
    I keep telling you my name is Kasumin,
    so please just call me that!
[08:17] ---
    Oh, so that's why you kept repeating it...
[08:19] ---
    We're going to begin
    club activities immediately!
[08:23] ---
    Follow me!
[08:29] ---
    I did it!
[08:32] ---
    This is our club?
[08:33] ---
    Let's go somewhere else.
[08:44] ---
    This spot won't work either.
[08:46] ---
    Why are we staying off school grounds?
[08:49] ---
    The student council has it out
    for poor little Kasumin,
[08:52] ---
    so it's hard to do club activities at school.
[08:57] ---
    Hey, I know a place!
[09:00] ---
    Wow, there's so much room!
[09:03] ---
    We shouldn't be able to bother anyone here.
[09:06] ---
    What do you think?
[09:07] ---
    It's perfect! Let's use this place.
[09:12] ---
    There. Ta-da!
[09:15] ---
    "Kasumin's School Idol Club"
[09:15] ---
    Wait, this name plate...
[09:18] ---
    I took it back from
    the mean ol' student council!
[09:22] ---
    Without permission.
[09:23] ---
    So that's why they have it out for you.
[09:26] ---
    All's well that ends well!
[09:28] ---
    This is going to be the Nijigasaki School
    Idol Club's club room for a while.
[09:33] ---
    We'll gradually start singing and dancing
    lessons, so first, let's get more members.
[09:39] ---
    Wait, why are we starting from there?
[09:41] ---
    The more members we have,
    the more it'll bring out my cuteness!
[09:47] ---
    Anyway, if we're going
    to get new members fast,
[09:50] ---
    this is the best option!
[09:55] ---
    Hi, hi! It's me, everyone's
    favorite idol, Kasumin!
[10:00] ---
    I'm now Nijigasaki High School's
    School Idol Club President,
[10:06] ---
    but I'm not sure if I can
    handle such a big role!
[10:10] ---
    But I'm going to do my best to become
[10:14] ---
    the cutest school idol
    in all of Japan for all of you!
[10:22] ---
    Huh?
[10:24] ---
    Wow! That's the first time I ever saw
    a school idol's intro in person!
[10:29] ---
    You totally grabbed my heart, Kasumi-chan!
[10:31] ---
    What?!
[10:33] ---
    I knew you had excellent taste, Yu-senpai.
[10:37] ---
    We're going to upload this to a streaming site
    and try to get more members.
[10:41] ---
    You're up next, Ayumu-senpai!
[10:43] ---
    Just do something like what I just did!
[10:46] ---
    Huh? What?! No, no, no, I can't!
    It's too embarrassing!
[10:50] ---
    Why is it embarrassing?!
[10:52] ---
    Introducing yourself is the first step
    to becoming a school idol!
[10:55] ---
    Your eyes are a bit scary, Kasumi-chan...
[10:57] ---
    Don't worry! You're not as cute as me,
[11:00] ---
    but you've still got plenty
    of potential, Ayumu-senpai!
[11:03] ---
    Now let's do this thing!
[11:09] ---
    Um... I'm Ayumu Uehara,
[11:11] ---
    and I'm a second-year at Nijigasaki
    High School taking the general curriculum.
[11:15] ---
    U-Um, I-I...
[11:19] ---
    You need to speak up!
[11:20] ---
    S-Sorry!
[11:22] ---
    I want to be a school idol!
[11:24] ---
    That's too loud! Think about all of the fans!
[11:28] ---
    Fans?
[11:31] ---
    You fail.
[11:33] ---
    Aw...
[11:34] ---
    I-I can't do this out of the blue.
[11:37] ---
    Very well, then.
[11:39] ---
    Put both of your hands above your head.
[11:43] ---
    Like this?
[11:44] ---
    And try adding "bun"
    to the end of your sentences.
[11:46] ---
    Bun?!
[11:46] ---
    --Bun!
    --Bun, bun!
[11:48] ---
    What?!
[11:50] ---
    Go on.
[11:54] ---
    Go on!
[12:04] ---
    I'm...
[12:06] ---
    I'm Ayumu, bun...
[12:07] ---
    You need to be louder! One more time!
[12:09] ---
    I'm Ayumu, bun!
[12:10] ---
    You need to actually believe you're a bunny!
[12:12] ---
    I'm a bunny, bun, bun!
[12:13] ---
    I need more feeling in those buns!
[12:14] ---
    Bun!
[12:19] ---
    We're going to be uploading videos this weekend,
    so please practice on your own until then.
[12:24] ---
    Cute is scary... Cute is scary...
[12:26] ---
    --It's a lot of work being cute.
    --Cute is scary... Cute is scary...
[12:28] ---
    --Well, it's essential to being an idol.
    --Cute is scary... Cute is scary...
[12:29] ---
    --Well, it's essential to being an idol.
    --Cute is scary...
[12:30] ---
    But with Setsuna-chan,
    I'm not sure if I'd call her cute.
[12:33] ---
    I'd describe her as cool.
[12:36] ---
    You know Setsuna-senpai?
[12:38] ---
    Yeah, though I only saw her once from afar.
[12:42] ---
    This has been bugging me,
    but why did the club disband?
[12:48] ---
    It's actually all Setsuna-senpai's fault...
[12:52] ---
    When we first formed our group,
    everything was going pretty well.
[12:57] ---
    But once we decided to
    do our debut performance,
[12:59] ---
    she started getting really snippy.
[13:02] ---
    She kept saying that we
    won't be able to fully express
[13:05] ---
    our love to the fans with
    a performance like this and stuff.
[13:09] ---
    And that's why I got
    really angry, and then...
[13:14] ---
    We went on hiatus...
[13:20] ---
    It sounds like both you and Setsuna-chan
[13:22] ---
    had something you wanted
    to deliver to the fans.
[13:24] ---
    Of course!
[13:26] ---
    Nothing is more important to a school idol
    than everyone who supports them.
[13:31] ---
    In order to be the cutest idols ever...
[13:36] ---
    What exactly is cute?
    Why is being cute so hard?
[13:39] ---
    --Jeez.
    --Cute is...
[13:41] ---
    At this rate, the fans won't see
    how cute you are!
[13:52] ---
    Kasumi-chan?
[13:54] ---
    Wait...
[13:58] ---
    Am I doing the exact same thing?
[14:09] ---
    This isn't cute at all!
    Who cares about passion?
[14:13] ---
    I want to concentrate on being cute!
[14:35] ---
    Is that good?
[14:35] ---
    "Delicious Cat Chow"
[14:38] ---
    You don't need to go help
    out the sports clubs?
[14:40] ---
    I'll go in a bit.
[14:42] ---
    How'd it go with your family?
[14:44] ---
    It's a no go. They do
    run a restaurant after all.
[14:48] ---
    Our condo doesn't allow pets either.
[14:55] ---
    That's the person who took Hanpen yesterday.
[14:59] ---
    And I was working so hard so that
    everyone could come back someday...
[15:05] ---
    What am I supposed to do?
    I just don't know anymore...
[15:10] ---
    Are you troubled?
[15:15] ---
    When did you get here?
[15:16] ---
    Well, something seemed off, so...
[15:19] ---
    Where's Ayumu-senpai?
[15:21] ---
    She said she was gonna practice a bit more
    before heading to the park.
[15:27] ---
    Yu-senpai!
[15:42] ---
    I'm the newbie school idol Ayumu, bun!
[15:45] ---
    I'm a scaredy buns
    so I cry when I'm lonely, bun!
[15:50] ---
    I hope you'll--
[15:57] ---
    Th-This is just... Um...
    I was practicing to be a s-s-s...
[16:02] ---
    A school idol?
[16:05] ---
    Oh, I see.
[16:07] ---
    I'm sorry for seeing
    your super cute moment there.
[16:11] ---
    But are those words from your heart?
[16:14] ---
    Huh?
[16:15] ---
    You should probably think about
    who you're speaking to a bit more.
[16:19] ---
    I totally understand that,
    but it's not like I have any fans right now...
[16:29] ---
    But I do have someone who supports me.
[16:35] ---
    I'm done meddling now. Just do your best.
[16:42] ---
    There's something that's
    really important to me.
[16:46] ---
    That's why I wanted to become a school idol.
[16:50] ---
    I mean...
[16:52] ---
    I'm sure everyone feels that way.
[16:54] ---
    I want to do what I want to do.
[16:57] ---
    But I don't want to force others
    to do what I want to do.
[17:02] ---
    And yet, I ended up
    doing that to Ayumu-senpai...
[17:07] ---
    Hm...
[17:09] ---
    So that basically means all of you
    had different goals in mind, right?
[17:13] ---
    It's inevitable that you'd fight over that.
[17:16] ---
    But it can't be inevitable!
[17:19] ---
    At this rate, the club's
    just not going to work out!
[17:24] ---
    You're really cute when
    you're troubled, Kasumin.
[17:28] ---
    --Don't tease me right now, Senpai!
[17:31] ---
    --I'm not!
    --Don't tease me right now, Senpai!
[17:34] ---
    I'm so sorry that I'm late!
[17:36] ---
    Ayumu.
[17:39] ---
    Um...
[17:41] ---
    About my introduction...
[17:43] ---
    Can we film it right now?
[17:48] ---
    S-Sure!
[17:53] ---
    Okay, here I go.
[17:55] ---
    Go for it.
[18:00] ---
    I'm Ayumu Uehara.
    I'm a second-year at Nijigasaki High
[18:02] ---
    taking the general curriculum.
[18:03] ---
    I joined the School Idol Club
    because I wanted to
[18:06] ---
    express what I love and what I want to do!
[18:10] ---
    There's still a lot I can't do,
[18:12] ---
    but I hope you'll support me
    every step of the way as I do my best.
[18:17] ---
    Thank you!
[18:25] ---
    How was that?
[18:28] ---
    That was so cute! You
    totally grabbed my heart!
[18:31] ---
    Ahem.
[18:33] ---
    That wasn't exactly what I had in mind...
[18:37] ---
    But it was cute, so you pass.
[18:39] ---
    Really?! Thank goodness!
[18:44] ---
    I think it's okay if you all
    have different goals.
[18:49] ---
    I don't know how to put it exactly...
[18:52] ---
    But I think there's a way for everyone
    to be the best that they can be!
[18:59] ---
    Really?
[19:01] ---
    Well, let's find out!
[19:03] ---
    Not to mention, isn't that more fun?
[19:13] ---
    It is, and it's cute, too!
[19:18] ---
    Right?
[19:20] ---
    Just watch, Senpai!
[19:27] ---
    A place where all kinds of cute
    and cool people can be together.
[19:32] ---
    If we can actually create
    a place like that...
[19:36] ---
    Just remember, Ayumu-senpai!
[19:38] ---
    No matter how wonderful our club is,
[19:41] ---
    Kasumin will always be the cutest
    in the whole wide world!
[21:25] ---
    --A place where all kinds of cute
    and cool people can be together...
[21:26] ---
    --That was amazing, Kasumi-chan!
    --A place where all kinds of cute
    and cool people can be together...
[21:29] ---
    If we can actually create
    a place like that...
[21:33] ---
    That'll definitely be the best wonderland
    in the whole wide world!
[21:54] ---
    As we slowly run down this path
[21:57] ---
    Something is trying to come to life
[22:01] ---
    I want to tell you, I want to tell you that
[22:08] ---
    The sky that we look up at every day
[22:11] ---
    Has a blue that changes with the seasons
[22:15] ---
    There are no rules, it's telling us
    to depict it however we please
[22:21] ---
    Let's not be in a hurry!
[22:24] ---
    Let's enjoy this thrilling time even more!
[22:28] ---
    Let's all pursue the things that we love
[22:37] ---
    We don't know where we're headed to just yet
[22:41] ---
    Hopefully, there's an exciting
    future awaiting us
[22:44] ---
    It'd make me happy
    if we can both smile about that
[22:48] ---
    Thank you again today
[22:51] ---
    Now, let us open up our very own maps
[22:54] ---
    And casually take flight
[22:57] ---
    I want to dream, aspire, and dream once again
[23:03] ---
    I just want to keep dreaming!
