**[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*

**[02:48] ---**
*Let's sing together!*
**[02:50] ---**

*--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!
