[00:00] ---
    Yes, so high and so endlessly
[00:03] ---
    Seeing all those people so excited about
[00:05] ---
    the song they were hearing from the rooftop...
[00:06] ---
    The future that we embraced
[00:08] ---
    Becomes our trajectory
[00:08] ---
    It made me want to go down
    the uncharted path myself.
[00:11] ---
    These feelings that were just born
[00:17] ---
    What do you wanna do?
[00:20] ---
    Should we go for it?
[00:24] ---
    I want to give it a try.
[00:27] ---
    I want to try, too.
[00:31] ---
    Hiyah!
[00:33] ---
    You haven't won yet, Senpai!
[00:37] ---
    We got some extra chairs.
[00:40] ---
    Ooh, it's looking nice and clean.
[00:43] ---
    I think that should do it.
[00:46] ---
    We're not done yet. There's one last thing.
[00:47] ---
    "School Idol Club"
[00:51] ---
    We're finally back.
[00:52] ---
    --All right, let's officially restart
    the School Idol Club!
[00:56] ---
    --Heya!
    --All right, let's officially restart
    the School Idol Club!
[00:58] ---
    Do you guys belong to the School Idol Club?
[01:01] ---
    We do. You two are...
[01:05] ---
    I'm a second-year in the information
    processing course, Ai Miyashita!
[01:08] ---
    Likewise, but first-year, Rina Tennoji.
[01:12] ---
    Hey, you helped us out the other day.
[01:14] ---
    So you guys joined the School Idol Club!
[01:16] ---
    You see, we were totally moved by
    that rooftop performance the other day...
[01:24] ---
    I know, right?! It must've
    just grabbed your heart!
[01:26] ---
    Yeah, it did!
[01:28] ---
    It was really amazing.
[01:31] ---
    Th-Thank you very much.
[01:35] ---
    So yeah, we want to join.
[01:39] ---
    We welcome you with open arms!
[01:41] ---
    Since I'm doing this, I'm totally
    committed! I'll help you guys out.
[01:46] ---
    So, what does a School Idol Club do anyway?
[01:50] ---
    Huh?
[01:52] ---
    Well... We're actually trying to
    figure that out right now.
[02:00] ---
    Let's go to the future!
    Rainbow melodies
[02:08] ---
    "Nijigasaki High School Idol Club"
    "Love Live!"
[02:16] ---
    The rain clears up and reveals blue skies
[02:18] ---
    The winds of hope blow (Blowing)
[02:21] ---
    We can feel something coming
    and we take our very first step
[02:26] ---
    The world is sparkling
[02:29] ---
    And our hearts start to well up with (Feelings)
[02:32] ---
    "We want to start running right now!!"
    (Move on! Move on!)
[02:37] ---
    The tiny melodies blend together (Our Colors)
[02:42] ---
    Let's paint this arch, now
[02:44] ---
    It resonates throughout the city
    (Reaching for far blue sky!)
[02:48] ---
    Let's sing together!
[02:50] ---
    My feelings are overflowing,
    there's no stopping them now
[02:56] ---
    Rainbow-colored passions!!
[02:58] ---
    Colors painted in courage
[03:01] ---
    Let's create a bridge to the future
[03:03] ---
    Beyond the endless sky
[03:07] ---
    Resounding sympathy
[03:09] ---
    Miracles are blooming
[03:12] ---
    --Let's go! Shine towards the future, melodies
[03:15] ---
    --Yes, I know I'm not alone
    --Let's go! Shine towards the future, melodies
[03:17] ---
    You're all always by my side
[03:20] ---
    So let's connect our dreams together
[03:29] ---
    Of course, we have things we want to do.
[03:29] ---
    "We want to perform"
[03:32] ---
    Well, we're school idols, so of course
    we want to do live performances.
[03:34] ---
    "Episode 4: The Uncharted Path"
[03:36] ---
    And we haven't done any together yet.
[03:38] ---
    Let's all brainstorm what kind of
    live performances we want to do.
[03:42] ---
    Kasumin's vote is for a national tour!
[03:45] ---
    I want all of us to hold hands
    and dance in a giant circle.
[03:47] ---
    How about we put on little skits
    in between the songs?
[03:50] ---
    I'd really like to include naptimes, please.
[03:53] ---
    I want everyone to have
    what they love explode on stage!
[03:56] ---
    Like literally on fire,
    using pyros and going kaboom!
[03:59] ---
    I'm not sure about the pyros...
    I think I'd prefer something cuter.
[04:05] ---
    They're getting really heated.
[04:07] ---
    You're all saying completely different things,
    but you're so passionate!
[04:13] ---
    Wait. Did I say something bad?
[04:15] ---
    No...
[04:18] ---
    So, what do you two want to do?
[04:22] ---
    Hm... I'm not sure.
    I just want to do something fun.
[04:29] ---
    That's a good point.
[04:31] ---
    Yes.
[04:32] ---
    Though we might not be able to
    attract that many people in the beginning,
[04:35] ---
    I eventually hope we'll be able to
    perform in front of huge crowds.
[04:39] ---
    Ahem... We can talk about
    live performances later, but first...
[04:45] ---
    We need to train! No matter what
    kind of performances we want to do,
[04:48] ---
    they have to be wonderful,
    or our fans are going to be disappointed.
[04:52] ---
    Training? Like singing and dancing?
[04:55] ---
    Dancing, huh...
[04:56] ---
    I'd like to practice singing first.
[05:00] ---
    Then why don't we split up into groups
[05:02] ---
    to practice what we specifically
    want to for a while?
[05:05] ---
    That's a great idea!
[05:07] ---
    Do you mind if we participate in all of them?
[05:10] ---
    Please do!
[05:11] ---
    This is so exciting!
[05:14] ---
    Right?
[05:15] ---
    Yeah.
[05:19] ---
    I think you can go further.
[05:21] ---
    Nope, nope, nope...
[05:27] ---
    Is that really her limit?
[05:30] ---
    Looks like it.
[05:34] ---
    If you're going to dance,
    we need to make you more flexible.
[05:38] ---
    Thank goodness you're
    helping us out, Karin-chan.
[05:40] ---
    Well, I had some spare time.
[05:43] ---
    All right, let's continue.
[05:46] ---
    You're going to break poor little Kanata-chan.
[05:48] ---
    Don't worry.
[05:53] ---
    Huh...
[05:55] ---
    Hup. All right, let's give it another shot.
[06:00] ---
    Take a deep breath in.
[06:04] ---
    And breathe out slowly.
[06:14] ---
    See? Isn't it fun when you get the hang of it?
[06:17] ---
    Keep this up, and you'll get even more flexible!
[06:20] ---
    Okay. I'll do my best.
[06:22] ---
    No wonder she's the Club Building Hero.
[06:25] ---
    Hero?
[06:26] ---
    You've never heard of her?
[06:27] ---
    She's pretty famous because she
    goes around helping various sports clubs.
[06:33] ---
    I see.
[06:35] ---
    By the way, I totally thought you were
    joining our club, Karin-chan.
[06:42] ---
    Of course I'm not.
[06:44] ---
    I just didn't want to see Emma sad anymore.
[06:48] ---
    Oh, really...
[06:50] ---
    Wh-What?
[06:52] ---
    Thanks.
[06:54] ---
    It's no big deal.
[06:59] ---
    Ahem.
[07:01] ---
    We will now begin our lecture!
[07:03] ---
    "School Idol B̶y̶l̶i̶n̶e̶ Outline"
[07:04] ---
    Ooh, this sounds fun!
[07:06] ---
    Where'd you get those glasses?
[07:08] ---
    I borrowed them from Setsuna-senpai.
[07:11] ---
    Without permission.
[07:12] ---
    You know she's going to get mad, right?
[07:14] ---
    Let's not go off topic, Osaka-kun!
[07:14] ---
    "School Idol B̶y̶l̶i̶n̶e̶ Outline"
[07:18] ---
    Now tell me, what do school idols need?
[07:21] ---
    U-Um... the ability to express themselves?
[07:26] ---
    Correct.
[07:28] ---
    Oh, it is?
[07:29] ---
    "School Idol B̶y̶l̶i̶n̶e̶ Outline"
[07:30] ---
    Now, I'll ask you the same question,
    Tennoji-kun. What is your answer?
[07:36] ---
    The ability to connect with fans?
[07:40] ---
    Correct.
[07:41] ---
    I guess there's more than one answer.
[07:43] ---
    Lastly, Miyashita-kun!
[07:46] ---
    Yeah, sorry. I have no idea.
[07:50] ---
    Ding, ding, ding! That's also correct!
[07:54] ---
    How?!
[07:55] ---
    What's this? You don't know why, Shizuko?
[08:00] ---
    This question never had a solid answer.
[08:04] ---
    If it's something that would make
    the fans happy, any answer is correct!
[08:06] ---
    "School Idol B̶y̶l̶i̶n̶e̶ Outline"
[08:09] ---
    Wow, that's deep.
[08:14] ---
    You pass!
[08:21] ---
    That was awful!
[08:24] ---
    Nah, that's not true.
[08:26] ---
    Yeah.
[08:26] ---
    I also love your singing voice, Ayumu-san.
[08:30] ---
    For the time being, we need to work on
    you being able to relax when you sing.
[08:35] ---
    Yeah...
[08:37] ---
    You sounded really cute!
[08:38] ---
    R-Really?
[08:41] ---
    But I had no idea a place like this
    existed at our school.
[08:45] ---
    Well, this is a recording booth
    that's usually used
[08:47] ---
    by those taking AV courses and clubs.
[08:50] ---
    Who would like to sing next?
[08:53] ---
    I wanna hear you sing, Setsu!
[08:55] ---
    Setsu? Are you referring to me?
[08:58] ---
    Yeah! That's your nickname.
[09:01] ---
    Aw, no fair. What's mine?
[09:03] ---
    Yuyu.
[09:04] ---
    Then what about me?
[09:06] ---
    Ayu-bun.
[09:08] ---
    No more buns, please!
[09:10] ---
    Aw, but it's so cute.
[09:13] ---
    Th-That's...
[09:16] ---
    That's the ending theme
    for that anime that just started.
[09:19] ---
    Are you watching this series?
[09:22] ---
    Yeah, I've been watching it since I was little.
[09:27] ---
    Did you see episode 29 of the last series?!
[09:29] ---
    Jackal tried to sacrifice themselves
    by throwing themselves into the magma,
[09:32] ---
    but then Cosmos embraces them tightly!
[09:34] ---
    It was super hot.
[09:36] ---
    --I know, right?! Oh, and then
    in episode 47, Jackal...
[09:39] ---
    --So you like anime, Setsuna-chan...
    --I know, right?! Oh, and then
    in episode 47, Jackal...
[09:41] ---
    Huh?!
[09:42] ---
    Y-Yes... Though my parents
    forbid me from watching,
[09:46] ---
    so I just sneak around at night to watch it...
[09:48] ---
    Are your parents strict?
[09:51] ---
    Well, if I had to choose...
[09:53] ---
    So that's why you were hiding your identity.
[09:56] ---
    Identity?
[10:00] ---
    Oh, wait. Are you the student council president?
[10:04] ---
    --Yes...
    --Oh, I see.
[10:06] ---
    Jeez, you should've just said so!
[10:08] ---
    Thanks for the other day.
[10:10] ---
    Oh, it was nothing...
[10:12] ---
    I guess I'll have to check out
    that anime you guys are watching, too.
[10:16] ---
    It sounds like a lot of fun after
    hearing you get so excited about it.
[10:23] ---
    It is!
[10:24] ---
    All right, then let's just
    keep singing anime songs today!
[10:29] ---
    Yeah!
[10:35] ---
    It's good!
[10:36] ---
    They're pickles made from
    my grandma's special nuka blend.
[10:39] ---
    It does taste like some nice grandma made them.
[10:42] ---
    Right?
[10:43] ---
    Ack, what is this smell?
[10:46] ---
    Want some?
[10:48] ---
    --Yeah, I'll have some.
    --Welcome back.
[10:49] ---
    --You guys done with your lessons?
    --Yes.
[10:52] ---
    Kanata-chan here is definitely pooped.
[10:55] ---
    I guess we're done for today.
[10:57] ---
    Oh, Kasumi-san.
[10:59] ---
    I'd like to have a word with you,
    so could you stay a while longer?
[11:02] ---
    I-If this is about your glasses again,
    I already apologized so many times!
[11:06] ---
    That's not it...
[11:10] ---
    Are we getting together this Saturday, too?
[11:13] ---
    Yup. We're going jogging in Odaiba.
[11:15] ---
    Jogging, huh?
[11:17] ---
    I'll run with you guys, too.
[11:19] ---
    It feels great to run.
[11:22] ---
    Do you have Drama Club after this, Shizuku-chan?
[11:24] ---
    Yes.
[11:25] ---
    Must be hard doing two clubs.
[11:28] ---
    Well, I really love both, so...
[11:31] ---
    Are you still helping out with
    the sports clubs, Ai-chan?
[11:34] ---
    Of course! So I might be a bit late tomorrow.
[11:38] ---
    You two are working so hard.
[11:42] ---
    How do you like the club so far?
[11:45] ---
    It's fun.
[11:48] ---
    I've never seen Rinari so excited before.
    I'm totes having fun, too!
[11:54] ---
    I'm sorry. I'm not very good at
    expressing how I feel.
[11:58] ---
    No, it's okay. I'm just glad you're having fun.
[12:01] ---
    But really, you guys are doing
    so many things other clubs aren't doing
[12:04] ---
    that it's so refreshing!
[12:06] ---
    Is it that different?
[12:08] ---
    It is! Kasumin said that all of our answers
    were correct about being idols,
[12:13] ---
    but she's right.
[12:16] ---
    You're all so different,
[12:18] ---
    but you're all so kind and fun
    that it's awesome.
[12:23] ---
    I'm getting super excited just thinking about
[12:27] ---
    what kind of concert we can put on together.
[12:30] ---
    You're really sharp, Ai-chan.
[12:33] ---
    Huh?
[12:34] ---
    We all know it. There's something
    we have to think about first.
[12:41] ---
    Solo idols?
[12:43] ---
    This is a step in a new direction
    that only we can do.
[12:47] ---
    All of us standing
    on that stage as solo idols...
[12:51] ---
    I'm sure we've all thought about this option.
[12:56] ---
    Yes. But that's easier said than done.
[13:03] ---
    Standing on stage by myself?
[13:06] ---
    I'd really have to think about that.
[13:09] ---
    If we stand up there as a group,
    we can help each other out,
[13:12] ---
    but if we're all solo idols,
    no one will be able to help us.
[13:17] ---
    To be honest, I'm worried.
[13:20] ---
    Will I be able to do something
    on my own that everyone will enjoy?
[13:31] ---
    It'd be so much easier if
    there was only one right answer.
[13:34] ---
    "Ai Miyashita"
[13:40] ---
    Ai-chan!
[13:41] ---
    Sports have rules.
[13:45] ---
    But when it comes to the school idols
    that we want to be, those rules don't exist.
[13:51] ---
    We're on our own.
[13:53] ---
    "Nijigasaki Bookstore"
[13:54] ---
    I wonder what kind of
    school idol I can be alone.
[14:00] ---
    What exactly is the right answer for Ai-san?
[14:04] ---
    I don't think I've ever
    thought about this before.
[14:13] ---
    "Kasukasu"
    "We'll be meeting at Rainbow Park
    at 9 AM tomorrow for our jog!"
[14:13] ---
    We'll be meeting at Rainbow Park
    at 9 AM tomorrow for our jog!
[14:18] ---
    "Rinari"
    "Roger!"
[14:18] ---
    Roger!
[14:20] ---
    "Kana-chan"
    "Okay!"
[14:21] ---
    Okay!
[15:12] ---
    I still have an hour...
[15:34] ---
    Emma-chi!
[15:35] ---
    Oh, Ai-chan.
[15:37] ---
    What's up?
[15:38] ---
    I just woke up super early.
    What about you, Ai-chan?
[15:42] ---
    Same.
[15:45] ---
    Were you surprised when we
    mentioned solo idols yesterday?
[15:50] ---
    Yeah, but... I think I was
    most surprised about myself.
[15:56] ---
    The thing you guys are worried about
[15:59] ---
    is if you're going to be able to
    fully express yourselves, right?
[16:03] ---
    I've helped with lots of clubs before,
[16:06] ---
    but then I realized they were all clubs
    where everyone worked as a team.
[16:11] ---
    Man, this is super hard.
[16:19] ---
    Solo idols...
[16:27] ---
    We should probably get going.
    We don't wanna ride solo.
[16:30] ---
    Nein, right? Nine's when
    we're supposed to start.
[16:35] ---
    What's wrong?
[16:40] ---
    Man, that's hilarious!
[16:42] ---
    I was talking about solo idols
    and you said ride solo!
[16:44] ---
    Then you topped it off with nein and nine!
[16:47] ---
    Those are puns, right?
[16:48] ---
    Puns...? Oh...
[16:51] ---
    Man, those were awesome!
[16:53] ---
    I didn't even notice...
[17:02] ---
    I'm so happy you joined
    the School Idol Club, Ai-chan.
[17:05] ---
    Huh? Why's that?
[17:07] ---
    Because you're so positive.
[17:10] ---
    Really? I'm seriously trying to figure out
    what I want to do right now, though.
[17:13] ---
    But when we're all together, you always
    look like you're having so much fun.
[17:18] ---
    We've been through a lot lately...
[17:22] ---
    ...but finally managed to
    make it to the starting line.
[17:25] ---
    I think all of us were really worried,
    but at the same time,
[17:30] ---
    I think we're all equally
    looking forward to the future now.
[17:35] ---
    Otherwise we wouldn't be so worried.
[17:38] ---
    We just don't have enough courage
    to take that first step just yet.
[17:43] ---
    Ever since you joined,
[17:45] ---
    everyone in the School Idol Club
    is smiling so much more.
[17:48] ---
    Really? I don't feel like I've done much.
[17:51] ---
    But that's why you're so amazing.
[17:54] ---
    Really?
[17:55] ---
    Yup.
[18:01] ---
    I see.
[18:13] ---
    Thanks, Emma-chi! I'm gonna run now!
[18:16] ---
    Ai-chan?!
[18:18] ---
    I guess that's all I needed to do.
[18:21] ---
    I love it when others have so much fun.
[18:24] ---
    And I love having fun myself!
[18:27] ---
    Becoming school idols that can understand
    that fun and excitement together.
[18:32] ---
    If we can do that,
[18:34] ---
    I can finally run down that uncharted path!
[18:39] ---
    A path filled with so many unknowns!
[20:37] ---
    We're all in this together.
[20:39] ---
    We're not completely alone on that stage.
[20:42] ---
    This is awesome!
[20:45] ---
    Wow... So that was Ai-chan's performance.
[20:50] ---
    I want to see all of your performances.
[20:53] ---
    Even though you're doing this solo,
[20:54] ---
    it's because you're all individuals
    that there are so many possibilities.
[20:58] ---
    And once you all put on a concert together,
[21:01] ---
    I think something really amazing will happen!
[21:05] ---
    You're sort of amazing, Yu-chan.
[21:10] ---
    I guess I'll have to keep up.
[21:12] ---
    I'm getting fired up.
[21:14] ---
    Yeah.
[21:17] ---
    So am I.
[21:38] ---
    As we slowly run down this path
[21:41] ---
    Something is trying to come to life
[21:45] ---
    I want to tell you, I want to tell you that
[21:52] ---
    The sky that we look up at every day
[21:55] ---
    Has a blue that changes with the seasons
[21:59] ---
    There are no rules, it's telling us
    to depict it however we please
[22:05] ---
    Let's not be in a hurry!
[22:07] ---
    Let's enjoy this thrilling time even more!
[22:12] ---
    Let's all pursue the things that we love
[22:21] ---
    We don't know where we're headed to just yet
[22:24] ---
    Hopefully, there's an exciting
    future awaiting us
[22:27] ---
    It'd make me happy
    if we can both smile about that
[22:32] ---
    Thank you again today
[22:35] ---
    Now, let us open up our very own maps
[22:38] ---
    And casually take flight
[22:41] ---
    I want to dream, aspire, and dream once again
[22:46] ---
    I just want to keep dreaming!
[22:54] ---
    Ayumu! Your cuteness is
    only second to your voice.
[22:57] ---
    You know, because we're second-years!
[22:59] ---
    Jogging just makes your emotions run high!
[23:01] ---
    Because you know, jogging!
[23:04] ---
    We're the School Idol Club
    so we can't just wait idoly by.
[23:09] ---
    Please, stop. I can't anymore...
[23:12] ---
    She's laughing so hard.
[23:14] ---
    Yu-chan's sense of humor has been
    infantily childish ever since kindergarten.
[23:20] ---
    Why are you so punny all of a sudden?
[23:22] ---
    This is all part of our school idol training!
