**[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*

*Has a blue that changes with the seasons*
**[22:15] ---**
*There are no rules, it's telling us*
*to depict it however we please*

*We don't know where we're headed to just yet*

*Hopefully, there's an exciting*

"Student Directory"
**[23:10] ---**
Here's the student directory back.
**[23:13] ---**
Sorry for borrowing it without permission.
**[23:15] ---**
I couldn't seem to find Setsuna Yuki
listed on there anywhere.
**[23:22] ---**
Considering Setsuna doesn't exist,
**[23:24] ---**
