[00:01] Umi
    Honoka?
[00:03] Kotori
    Honoka-chan?
[00:04] Eli
    Honoka, are you all right?
[00:06] Yukiho
    Onee-chan?!
[00:08] ---
    What's going on?
[00:09] ---
    What happened? Did she faint?
[00:10] Umi
    Is she okay?
[00:12] ---
    I'm terribly sorry.
[00:13] ---
    There was an incident with one of our members.
[00:15] ---
    Please wait a few moments.
[00:17] ---
    Onee-chan...
[00:18] ---
    We can continue, right?
[00:21] ---
    We're not giving up now, are we?!
[00:24] ---
    Right?
[00:26] ---
    Honoka-chan won't be able to continue.
[00:28] ---
    Not to mention...
[00:48] ---
    Our honest feelings
    bring us together
[00:53] ---
    You may not be the best even though
    you're serious and there may be conflicts
[00:58] ---
    Despite that we want
    to dream the big dream
[01:03] ---
    That's right here and
    it's beginning now
[01:07] ---
    (We know)
[01:09] ---
    That it's not just going to be fun.
    There will be trials, too
[01:12] ---
    (We know)
[01:13] ---
    That those hardships
    are part of our future
[01:17] ---
    (We're going)
[01:18] ---
    If we come together,
    we'll all become stronger
[01:22] ---
    (For sure) We'll keep
    changing (We'll be star!)
[01:27] ---
    If we can all do our
    best with what we love
[01:32] ---
    The new (place) is our goal
[01:37] ---
    If we can all believe
    in what we love
[01:42] ---
    We can (embrace) the
    flutters and move forward
[01:47] ---
    (Throw away your fear)
    with the best smile
[01:52] ---
    (Fly higher and higher) We are
    now waiting in the shining light
[02:08] Eli
    I'm sorry!

[02:11] Mother
    What are you...
[02:12] Mother
    ...talking about?
[02:15] Mother
    I'm sure she insisted
    she could do it.
[02:19] Mother
    She's always been that way.
[02:23] Mother
    Anyway, she seems bored.
    Why don't you come in?
[02:26] Eli
    What? But...
[02:28] Kotori
    Honoka-chan said
    she still has a fever.
[02:31] Mother
    It came down the day
    before yesterday.
[02:34] Mother
    She was fine this morning.
[02:36] Umi
    Honoka?
[02:37] Honoka
    Umi-chan, Kotori-chan!
[02:40] Kotori
    Oh, good. You can get up now.
[02:43] Honoka
    Yeah! Since I'm sick, my mom
    said I could eat three puddings.
[02:47] Nico
    I was wrong to worry about you.
[02:49] Nozomi
    Your mother was right.
[02:51] Nico
    So? How's your leg?
[02:54] Honoka
    Oh, right.
[02:55] Honoka
    I just sprained it lightly.
[02:57] Honoka
    Once the swelling goes down,
    I should be fine.
[03:02] Honoka
    I'm really sorry
    about what happened.
[03:05] Honoka
    It was shaping up to be
    our greatest concert...
[03:09] Eli
    It's not your fault.
    It's all of ours.
[03:12] Honoka
    But...
[03:14] Eli
    Here.
[03:17] Eli
    Maki played lots of relaxing
    songs on the piano for you.
[03:21] Eli
    Listen to this and rest.
[03:25] Honoka
    Maki-chan, thank you!
[03:27] Eli
    What are you doing?
[03:29] Nico
    Don't you know you're sick?
[03:34] Maki
    It's your own fault for shouting...
[03:36] Rin
    She's just happy.
[03:39] Umi
    You're just getting over your illness.
    You should rest.
[03:43] Honoka
    Thanks, but I think I'll be able
    to go to school tomorrow.
[03:47] Kotori
    Really?
[03:48] Honoka
    Yeah, so I don't mind if it's short,
[03:50] Honoka
    but I was hoping we could
    perform another concert.
[03:54] Honoka
    There's still a little time left
    before the groups performing
[03:57] Honoka
    for the Love Live are chosen, right?
[03:59] Honoka
    I thought we could make
    up for the one we missed.
[04:01] Honoka
    I thought we could do something.
[04:04] Eli
    Honoka.
[04:07] Eli
    We won't perform in the Love Live.
[04:10] Honoka
    What?
[04:13] Eli
    The director spoke with us.
[04:16] Eli
    She said perhaps we were
    pushing ourselves too hard.
[04:18] Eli
    She asked if we're working as idols
    to produce these kinds of results.
[04:24] Eli
    We discussed it together
    and revoked our entry.
[04:29] Eli
    μ's is no longer in the rankings.
[04:35] Honoka
    But...
[04:36] Umi
    It was our fault
    for pushing you so hard.
[04:41] Honoka
    No, it wasn't.
    I got ahead of myself...
[04:45] Kotori
    Honoka-chan...
[04:48] Eli
    Discussing who's
    to blame won't do any good.
[04:51] Eli
    We were all responsible.
[04:53] Eli
    It's your fault for not taking care of
    yourself and pushing yourself too hard,
[04:57] Eli
    but it's also our fault
    for not noticing.
[05:01] Nozomi
    Eli-chi's right.
[05:08] Hanayo
    Honoka-chan seemed sad...
[05:11] Rin
    I thought we weren't going to tell
    her about the Love Live yet.
[05:15] Maki
    She would have found
    out sooner or later.
[05:18] Maki
    It couldn't be helped.
[05:19] Nico
    Sheesh.
[05:22] Nico
    We were so close...
[05:25] Rin
    Nico-chan...
[05:30] Yukiho
    Onee-chan?
[05:33] Yukiho
    Onee-chan!
[05:36] Yukiho
    Dinner's ready. Are you going
    to eat downstairs today?
[05:41] Yukiho
    Onee-chan? Are you already...
[06:11] Kotori
    Yes?
[06:14] Director
    Did you talk to Honoka-chan?
[06:19] Kotori
    I'll talk to her tomorrow.
[06:20] Director
    You need to tell her.
    Isn't she your friend?
[06:26] Kotori
    Yeah.
[06:31] Interviewer
    We're talking with the members
    of the number 1 ranked group, A-RISE!
[06:36] Interviewer
    How do you feel right now?
[06:37] Kira
    It's all thanks to the
    warm support of our fans!
[06:41] Todo
    Thank you so much!
[06:43] Yuki
    Thanks for your support!
[06:52] Student A
    They withdrew?
[06:54] Student B
    Yeah, something happened
    at the school festival.
[06:58] Student A
    But their rank was rising.
    What a shame.
[07:01] Student B
    I know, really.
[07:05] Kotori
    Don't worry about it.
[07:07] Honoka
    Yeah.
[07:10] Kotori
    H-Honoka-chan, listen...
[07:19] Nozomi
    She hasn't changed.
[07:21] Nico
    She's been like that ever
    since she came back to school.
[07:24] Nico
    Nozomi.
[07:25] Nozomi
    Leave it to me.
[07:27] Nozomi
    Squeeze!
[07:29] Honoka
    N-Nozomi-chan?
[07:30] Nozomi
    If you keep acting depressed,
    I'll do it even more aggressively.
[07:34] Honoka
    N-No, thank you.
[07:37] Nico
    You just can't give it up, can you?
[07:40] Nico
    How long are you going to keep
    staring at that poster?
[07:44] Honoka
    I know, but...
[07:46] Nico
    But?
[07:48] Honoka
    But...
[07:49] Nico
    Nozomi!
[07:50] Honoka
    Please, no!
[07:52] Eli
    If you'd cheer up,
    we wouldn't worry about you.
[07:58] Eli
    Or do you want us
    to worry about you?
[08:00] Honoka
    No, that's not it...
[08:02] Nico
    You're going to start practicing
    again today, right?
[08:05] Nico
    We can't have you participating
    in such low spirits.
[08:09] Honoka
    You're right.
[08:10] Honoka
    Worrying about it forever
    won't do any good.
[08:13] Eli
    That's right.
    Besides, isn't our goal...
[08:17] Eli
    to keep this school from closing?
[08:22] Honoka
    Yeah.
[08:24] Hideko
    Honoka, what happened to the notes
    I texted you about yesterday?
[08:28] Honoka
    I'll give them to you right now!
[08:31] Honoka
    I'll be right back.
[08:36] Nozomi
    She seems all right.
[08:43] Honoka
    Has the director said anything?
[08:46] Eli
    She didn't forbid
    us from practicing.
[08:49] Eli
    We can keep going.
[08:50] Honoka
    Really?
[08:51] Umi
    And the concert?
[08:52] Eli
    Yes.
[08:54] Honoka
    That's great.
[08:55] Honoka
    When should we perform?
[08:57] Eli
    Well, I'd like to perform a few times
    before the school's application deadline,
[09:02] Eli
    but performing so many times
    in a row won't do much good.
[09:05] Honoka
    We shouldn't wear
    ourselves out, either.
[09:09] Umi
    Honoka?
[09:10] Eli
    Are you still worried about that?
[09:12] Honoka
    What?
[09:13] Honoka
    I guess...
[09:15] Umi
    You're not acting like yourself.
[09:17] Honoka
    You think so?
[09:19] Eli
    But maybe this means you're more
    aware of your surroundings.
[09:23] Honoka
    My surroundings...
[09:25] Honoka
    Huh? Where's Kotori-chan?
[09:28] Umi
    She went downstairs
    to make a phone call.
[09:31] Honoka
    I see.
[09:37] Honoka
    What's wrong?
[09:39] Rin
    Help...
[09:40] Maki
    H-Help...
[09:42] Hanayo
    Help us.
[09:44] Nico
    What?
SIGN    Notice for Next Year's Applicants
[09:46] Honoka
    Notice for next year's applicants...
[09:52] All
    Is this...
[09:53] Hanayo
    The results of the middle school
    prospective student survey are back.
[09:57] Maki
    There are way more
    applicants than last year.
[10:02] Honoka
    Which means...
[10:04] Umi
    The school...
[10:05] Nozomi
    Won't be closed!
[10:07] Maki
    Who knows what will happen
    the year after, though?
[10:10] Rin
    We're going to have juniors?
[10:12] Hanayo
    Yeah!
[10:12] Rin
    All right!
[10:16] Honoka
    Kotori-chan!
[10:21] Kotori
    Huh? What?
[10:23] Umi
    This!
[10:24] Kotori
    What? What is it?
[10:25] Honoka
    We did it.
[10:27] Honoka
    The school is staying open.
[10:30] Honoka
    We did it.
[10:32] Kotori
    It's... true...
[10:36] Honoka
    Yeah!
[10:39] Eli
    Khorosho...
[10:41] Alisa
    Really?
[10:42] Eli
    Yes.
[10:43] Alisa
    I'm so happy.
[10:44] Alisa
    All right!
[10:47] Honoka
    That's great.
[10:49] Alisa
    Yeah. I look forward to going
    to school with you next year!
[10:53] Eli
    In order to do that...
[10:54] Eli
    You'll have to pass the
    entrance exam first.
[10:57] Alisa
    Yeah! I'll do my best!
[11:01] Honoka
    I wish Yukiho would
    take the exam, too.
[11:05] Alisa
    When I spoke with her recently,
    she seemed to be thinking about it.
[11:07] Honoka
    Really? All right!
[11:10] Honoka
    What are we going to do
    about our next concert?
[11:12] Eli
    Well, there's no reason for us
    to do it in such a hurry anymore.
[11:17] Honoka
    You're right.
[11:20] Kotori
    Actually...
[11:22] Kotori
    I have to go shopping, so...
[11:26] Honoka
    What?
[11:27] Honoka
    What are you shopping for?
[11:29] Kotori
    Just something...
[11:29] Honoka
    Do you want me to go with you?
[11:31] Kotori
    No, that's okay.
[11:33] Kotori
    Bye.
[11:34] Honoka
    Okay.
[11:37] Honoka
    Kotori-chan seems kind of down.
[11:41] Eli
    Nozomi's been worried about her
    since before the school festival, too...
[11:45] Eli
    She thinks she might have
    something on her mind.
[11:48] Honoka
    Since that long ago?
[12:03] Umi
    Waiting will only
    make it more painful.
[12:07] Kotori
    I know.
[12:08] Umi
    Haven't you already
    made up your mind?
[12:10] Kotori
    Yeah.
[12:13] Kotori
    If I had talked to Honoka-chan
    before making my decision,
[12:17] Kotori
    I wonder what she
    would have said to me.
[12:19] Kotori
    When I think about that,
    I just can't tell her...
[12:26] All
    Love Live!
[12:29] Nico
    Now, then...
[12:31] Nico
    Nico-Nico-Ni!
[12:33] Nico
    Does everyone have their glass?
[12:36] Nico
    Since the school
    is going to stay open,
[12:38] Nico
    as your club president, I, Nico-Ni,
    would like to say something!
[12:46] Nico
    It has been months
    since μ's was formed,
[12:48] Nico
    and I was chosen to be
    your club president.
[12:53] Nico
    I endured solitude as the only
    member of the Idol Study Club,
[12:57] Nico
    and expressing my thoughts now
    in front of other members is...
[12:59] All
    Cheers!
[13:00] Nico
    Hey, wait!
[13:02] Honoka
    Boy, I'm hungry!
[13:05] Honoka
    Nico-chan, if you don't hurry,
    there won't be anything left!
[13:08] Nico
    What gluttons.
[13:11] Hanayo
    The rice is ready.
[13:16] Rin
    Rice, rice!
[13:17] Hanayo
    Rice, rice!
[13:18] Nozomi
    What a relief, Eli-chi.
[13:21] Eli
    I know. I feel as though a weight
    has been lifted from my shoulders.
[13:25] Nozomi
    Aren't you glad you joined μ's?
[13:28] Eli
    I don't know.
[13:29] Eli
    Honestly, I have a feeling
    it would have turned out
[13:32] Eli
    the same way even
    if I hadn't joined.
[13:34] Nozomi
    That's not true.
[13:36] Nozomi
    The cards tell me μ's needs nine
    members, no more, no less.
[13:42] Eli
    You think so?
[13:46] Honoka
    Our school isn't going to be closed.
[13:48] Honoka
    Let's pull ourselves together
    and work even harder.
[13:54] Umi
    Kotori.
[13:56] Kotori
    But now...
[13:59] Umi
    Kotori.
[14:05] Umi
    I'm sorry. There's something
    we have to tell you.
[14:12] Nozomi
    Have you heard anything about this?
[14:13] Eli
    No.
[14:14] Umi
    I know this is sudden,
    but Kotori has decided to study abroad.
[14:23] Umi
    She'll be leaving Japan
    two weeks from now.
[14:32] Maki
    What?
[14:33] Hanayo
    You're kidding.
[14:34] Nico
    What are you talking about?
[14:38] Kotori
    I've always wanted to get
    into fashion design...
[14:42] Kotori
    My mother's acquaintance at a foreign
    school asked if I'd like to study there.
[14:48] Kotori
    I'm sorry. I wanted
    to tell you sooner, but...
[14:53] Umi
    Kotori considerately thought it would be
    better to wait until after the concert
[14:57] Umi
    at the school festival to tell you.
[14:59] Nozomi
    That's why you've been...
[15:02] Eli
    You're not coming back, are you?
[15:06] Kotori
    Probably not until after
    I graduate from high school...
[15:19] Honoka
    Why didn't you tell me?
[15:24] Umi
    Because of the school festival.
[15:28] Honoka
    Umi-chan, you knew?
[15:31] Umi
    Well...
[15:35] Honoka
    Why didn't you tell me?
[15:37] Honoka
    I understand you didn't want to say
    anything because of the concert.
[15:40] Honoka
    But Umi-chan and you
    and I have always...
[15:44] Eli
    Honoka...
[15:45] Nozomi
    Try to understand how
    Kotori-chan feels.
[15:48] Honoka
    I don't understand!
[15:49] Honoka
    She's leaving!
[15:51] Honoka
    We've always been together,
    but she's going so far away!
[15:54] Honoka
    But...
[15:56] Kotori
    I tried to tell you plenty of times.
[15:59] Kotori
    But you were so focused on
    performing... on the Love Live...
[16:04] Kotori
    I wanted to tell you right
    after the concert ended...
[16:09] Kotori
    I wanted to ask you for advice.
[16:12] Kotori
    But then that happened...
[16:16] Kotori
    I wanted you to listen, Honoka-chan!
[16:19] Kotori
    I wanted to talk to you about it
    more than anyone else!
[16:22] Kotori
    After all, you're my
    very first friend!
[16:26] Kotori
    You've always been by my side!
[16:28] Kotori
    Of course... of course...
[16:30] Kotori
    Of course, I wanted to tell you!
[16:33] Honoka
    Kotori-chan...
[16:38] Umi
    She had trouble deciding
    whether or not to go.
[16:42] Umi
    If anything, it seemed
    like she didn't want to go.
[16:46] Umi
    She was worried about you.
[16:48] Umi
    She wondered what you would say
    if she asked you about it.
[16:52] Umi
    She didn't mean to keep quiet.
[16:55] Umi
    She really did intend to tell
    you after the concert ended.
[17:01] Umi
    Please try to understand.
[17:09] Director
    Did you talk to your friends?
[17:11] Kotori
    Yes.
[17:13] Director
    Did they understand?
[17:23] Director
    You should go to sleep soon.
[17:30] [Messenger] Phone
    I had no idea...
[17:37] [Messenger] Phone
    I was so caught up in my own thoughts
    I couldn't see how anyone else felt at all
    So... Kotori-chan, I'm sorry
[17:45] Honoka
    What good is an apology now?
[18:08] Honoka
    They're amazing.
[18:11] Honoka
    I'll never be as good as them.
[18:21] Honoka
    What have I been doing?
[18:27] Students
    Good morning.
[18:28] Students
    Hey, did you do the
    handout for first period?
[18:31] Students
    Nope.
[18:32] Hideko
    Good morning.
[18:33] Mika
    She's already asleep.
[18:34] Honoka
    I'm awake.
[18:35] Mika
    Sheesh.
[18:36] Fumiko
    Kotori-chan's not with you today?
[18:40] Honoka
    No.
[18:41] Mika
    I heard from Sonoda-san
    this morning.
[18:43] Mika
    Kotori-chan's going
    to study abroad, isn't she?
[18:45] Honoka
    Yeah.
[18:46] Hideko
    That'll be sad.
[18:49] Honoka
    Yeah.
[18:51] Eli
    Honoka.
[19:00] Honoka
    A concert?
[19:01] Eli
    Yes. We discussed it.
[19:03] Eli
    We want to put on a concert
    with everyone before Kotori leaves.
[19:07] Nozomi
    We're going to tell Kotori-chan
    when she gets here.
[19:10] Rin
    We'll send her off
    with a lively show!
[19:13] Nico
    Quiet, you!
[19:15] Rin
    Nico-chan, what are you doing?
[19:17] Nico
    I went easy on you!
[19:22] Umi
    Are you still feeling down?
[19:25] Eli
    Let's keep our spirits high.
[19:26] Eli
    This will be our last
    concert as nine.
[19:35] Honoka
    If I had been more aware of my surroundings,
    this wouldn't have happened.
[19:41] Hanayo
    It's not your fault.
[19:43] Honoka
    If I hadn't done anything,
    this wouldn't have happened!
[19:47] Nico
    Hey, you!
[19:48] Eli
    It's arrogant to say
    it's all your fault.
[19:51] Honoka
    But...
[19:52] Eli
    What good does saying that here do?
[19:55] Eli
    Nothing will come of it,
    and no one will feel any better for it.
[19:58] Maki
    There's always the next Love Live.
[20:01] Nico
    That's right. We'll definitely
    perform next time.
[20:03] Nico
    We don't have time
    to feel sorry for ourselves.
[20:06] Honoka
    What good will performing do?
[20:08] Nico
    What?
[20:08] Honoka
    The school isn't going to be closed.
    There's no point to performing.
[20:14] Hanayo
    Honoka-chan...
[20:15] Honoka
    Besides, it's impossible.
[20:17] Honoka
    No matter how hard we practice,
    we'll never be like A-RISE.
[20:22] Nico
    Are you serious?
[20:26] Nico
    You'd better not be serious.
[20:31] Nico
    You'd better not be serious!
[20:33] Maki
    Stop!
[20:34] Nico
    Let go of me!
[20:35] Nico
    I thought you were serious!
[20:38] Nico
    I joined μ's because I thought you
    were serious about being an idol!
[20:42] Nico
    I decided to put all
    my hopes into this!
[20:45] Nico
    And you're going
    to give up over this?
[20:48] Nico
    You're going to get
    discouraged over this?!
[20:53] Eli
    Honoka, what do you
    think we should do?
[20:57] Eli
    What do you want to do?
[21:01] Eli
    Tell me.
[21:03] Eli
    This is going to be
    our last concert as nine.
[21:11] Honoka
    I quit.
[21:14] Honoka
    I quit being a School Idol.
[21:38] Nozomi
    Honoka-chan.
[22:00] Umi
    I didn't think you were
    that kind of person.
[22:06] Umi
    You're the worst...
[22:10] Umi
    You're the worst!
[22:14] ---
    Chase after it honestly,
    chase after it with courage
[22:20] ---
    A small wish creates tomorrow
[22:26] ---
    It might be possible if
    everyone wishes for it
[22:32] ---
    Try harder than anyone else
    and always be passionate
[22:39] ---
    We're trying to reach the
    path with the beautiful wind
[22:45] ---
    Raise your arms like wings
[22:51] ---
    We'll fly into the bright future
[22:57] ---
    We'll be able to hear the youth,
    we'll be able to hear it that moment
[23:04] ---
    If you're smiling, any day is okay!
[23:09] ---
    We want to see the moment
    that we can hear the youth
[23:15] ---
    With you right next
    to me (a happy sight)
[23:21] ---
    You're the one next to me
