**[00:15] Hideko**
I guess Honoka is still depressed.
**[00:17] Fumiko**
I heard she quit being a School Idol
because she had a fight with Umi-chan.
**[00:23] Mika**
And Kotori-chan has been
skipping a lot of school
**[00:25] Mika**
because she's getting
ready to study abroad.
**[00:26] Hideko**
That's why she hasn't spoken
with Umi-chan at all...
**[00:30] Hideko**
In that case,
we've got to cheer her up!
**[00:35] Hideko**
Honoka, do you want
to walk home together?
**[00:38] Honoka**
Huh?
**[00:39] Honoka**
Sure.
**[00:40] Hideko**
You're free after school now, right?
**[00:42] Mika**
Hey!
**[00:43] Hideko**
Don't worry about it.
**[00:46] Hideko**
After all, Honoka, you worked
hard to protect the school.
**[00:49] Mika**
Yeah, but...
**[00:50] Hideko**
You became a School Idol
to protect the school,
**[00:53] Hideko**
and you quit because
you met your goal.
**[00:56] Hideko**
There's nothing to worry about.
**[00:58] Hideko**
Right?
**[01:00] Honoka**
You're right...
**[01:01] Hideko**
Everyone at school
is grateful to you.
**[01:04] Fumiko**
Yeah, yeah!
**[01:05] Mika**
There are a lot of people who learned
about our school after seeing μ's, too!
**[01:10] Honoka**
Thanks.
**[01:12] Mika**
Let's go, then!
**[01:13] Honoka**
Okay!
**[01:18] Senpai**
You've been practicing hard lately.
**[01:20] Umi**
Yes. The tournament is coming up.
**[01:24] Senpai**
Are you sure you don't want
to be a School Idol anymore?
**[01:37] Nozomi**
Is this really what was
supposed to happen?
**[01:41] Eli**
You're the one who said it's
not μ's without nine members.
**[01:45] Nozomi**
Yes, but...
**[01:47] Nico**
We're on hiatus?!
**[01:48] Eli**
Yes. I think it would be good
to re-evaluate what we're doing.
**[01:55] Nico**
Not only are we not performing
at the Love Live,
**[01:57] Nico**
but now we're on hiatus...
**[01:58] Maki**
I don't think there's any point
to continuing in this state.
**[02:02] Maki**
After all, μ's has practically
disbanded since Honoka quit.
**[02:10] Eli**
Honestly, even if
Honoka hadn't said that,
**[02:13] Eli**
we would have run into
this problem eventually.
**[02:16] Eli**
Now that the school will
stay open another year,
**[02:20] Eli**
the time has come for us to think
of a new goal to work towards.
**[02:27] Nico**
What are you girls going to do?
**[02:29] Hanayo**
What are we going to do?
**[02:31] Nico**
As idols, of course.
**[02:33] Nico**
Don't you want to keep going?
**[02:35] Both**
What?
**[02:36] Nico**
Don't you want to keep
doing it together?
**[02:39] Hanayo**
Nico-chan...
**[02:52] ---**
Isn't it delicious?
**[02:52] ---**
Yeah!
**[02:53] ---**
Totally worth eating.
**[02:54] ---**
You eating way too much.
**[02:55] ---**
But it's so delicious!
**[02:58] ---**
Hey, you got it! You got it!
**[03:03] ---**
You got it! You can do it!
**[03:21] ---**
Our honest feelings
bring us together
**[03:26] ---**
You may not be the best even though
you're serious and there may be conflicts
**[03:31] ---**
Despite that we want
to dream the big dream
**[03:36] ---**
That's right here and
it's beginning now
**[03:40] ---**
(We know)
**[03:41] ---**
That it's not just going to be fun.
There will be trials, too
**[03:45] ---**
(We know)
**[03:46] ---**
That those hardships
are part of our future
**[03:50] ---**
(We're going)
**[03:51] ---**
If we come together,
we'll all become stronger
**[03:55] ---**
(For sure) We'll keep
changing (We'll be star!)
**[04:00] ---**
If we can all do our
best with what we love
**[04:05] ---**
The new (place) is our goal
**[04:10] ---**
If we can all believe
in what we love
**[04:15] ---**
We can (embrace) the
flutters and move forward
**[04:20] ---**
(Throw away your fear)
with the best smile
**[04:25] ---**
(Fly higher and higher) We are
now waiting in the shining light
**[04:43] Kotori**
Umi-chan, welcome.
**[04:45] Kotori**
You're late. Did you have practice?
***SIGN*** # 13 - μ's Music Start!
**[04:47] Umi**
Yes.
**[04:57] Kotori**
Did you turn them down, too?
**[04:59] Umi**
Yes. I understand why Nico wants
to continue, and if we could...
**[05:06] Kotori**
Why, then?
**[05:08] Umi**
I became a School Idol because you
and Honoka invited me to join you...
**[05:15] Kotori**
I'm sorry.
**[05:16] Umi**
No, I'm not blaming anyone else.
**[05:20] Umi**
Despite what I said to Honoka, I am
responsible for making her say she was quitting.
**[05:26] Kotori**
That's not true at all!
**[05:28] Kotori**
It's my fault for not telling her!
**[05:31] Umi**
How are things between
you and Honoka?
**[05:34] Umi**
You're leaving Japan
soon, aren't you?
**[05:37] Kotori**
Yeah.
**[05:40] Umi**
Kotori, are you really
going to study abroad?
**[05:44] Kotori**
What?
**[05:45] Umi**
I...
**[05:47] Kotori**
Umi-chan...
**[05:48] Umi**
Never mind. It's nothing.
**[05:52] Kotori**
I can't change my mind now.
**[05:57] Umi**
I know.
**[06:04] Mika**
Give it your best!
**[06:06] Hideko**
I did it!
**[06:07] Fumiko**
I let my guard down!
**[06:10] Hideko**
Honoka, you're next.
**[06:12] Honoka**
Huh?
**[06:12] Mika**
I won't lose! I'm good at this game!
**[06:15] Honoka**
Okay!
**[06:22] Mika**
Here we go!
**[06:38] Umi**
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight!
**[06:41] Umi**
One, two, three, four...
**[06:43] Hideko**
Honoka, it started already!
**[06:51] Fumiko**
That's it! You've got it!
**[07:24] Honoka**
I feel refreshed.
**[07:26] Fumiko**
Amazing...
**[07:27] Mika**
Have you been practicing?!
**[07:29] Honoka**
No, not at all...
**[07:30] Hideko**
Your score would have been amazing
if you hadn't messed up in the beginning!
**[07:34] Hideko**
You can really tell you've
been practicing your dancing.
***SIGN*** Otonokizaka High
Idol Club μ's (Muse)
**[07:47] Hideko**
See you later.
**[07:48] Honoka**
Yeah, thanks for today.
**[07:50] Honoka**
Bye bye.
**[07:51] All**
Bye bye!
**[08:06] Kira**
*Hey, everyone! Follow us!*
**[08:12] Honoka**
I bet they'll become amazing idols.
**[08:17] Student A**
Look, it's A-RISE!
**[08:20] Student B**
They're so cute!
**[08:20] Honoka**
I want to do something that
won't make anyone sad this time.
**[08:25] Honoka**
Something that won't make me selfish,
but also something fun...
**[08:29] Honoka**
Something that will let me
put a smile on people's faces...
**[08:36] Honoka**
I wonder if there's
anything like that...
**[08:42] Rin**
Kayo-chin, you're slow!
**[08:44] Hanayo**
S-Sorry...
**[08:45] Hanayo**
This is tough if you haven't
done it in a while.
**[08:51] Honoka**
Rin-chan, Hanayo-chan.
**[08:53] Hanayo**
Honoka-chan...
**[08:54] Honoka**
You're still practicing!
**[08:57] Hanayo**
Yeah...
**[08:58] Nico**
Of course we are.
**[09:00] Nico**
We're going to keep
being School Idols.
**[09:02] Honoka**
What?
**[09:03] Nico**
You got a problem with that?
**[09:04] Honoka**
No...
**[09:05] Nico**
Just because μ's is on hiatus,
**[09:07] Nico**
it doesn't mean we can't
keep being School Idols.
**[09:10] Honoka**
But why?
**[09:14] Nico**
Because I like it.
**[09:16] Nico**
I love idols.
**[09:19] Nico**
Singing and dancing in front of
everyone and becoming excited.
**[09:24] Nico**
I love idols who can
make people feel like
**[09:26] Nico**
they can try hard
again the next day!
**[09:31] Nico**
It's not like your
half-hearted interest!
**[09:34] Honoka**
It's not like that! I...
**[09:36] Nico**
What's not like that?
**[09:38] Nico**
You're the one who said
you were quitting.
**[09:40] Nico**
You said there was no point.
**[09:42] Honoka**
I...
**[09:44] Rin**
You're being too harsh.
**[09:47] Honoka**
Nico-chan's right.
**[09:49] Honoka**
Sorry for bothering you.
**[09:53] Hanayo**
Honoka-chan!
**[09:55] Hanayo**
The three of us are thinking
about putting on a concert.
**[10:00] Hanayo**
If you'd like...
**[10:02] Rin**
It'd be great to have you there!
**[10:05] Nico**
You're the one who started this.
**[10:07] Nico**
You've got to come.
**[10:09] Honoka**
You guys...
**[10:13] Alisa**
Yukiho, is this a cream puff?
**[10:16] Yukiho**
No, it's red bean paste.
**[10:19] Yukiho**
They're boiled beans.
**[10:20] Alisa**
Khorosho!
**[10:21] Yukiho**
Thank you for walking me home.
**[10:25] Yukiho**
Would you like to come in?
**[10:27] Yukiho**
I'm sure it would
make my sister happy.
**[10:32] Eli**
Sorry.
**[10:33] Honoka**
Don't worry about it.
I'll pour you some tea...
**[10:36] Eli**
No, I mean I'm sorry
for making μ's go on hiatus.
**[10:41] Eli**
It wasn't my place to make
that decision, but I...
**[10:46] Eli**
I'm sorry.
**[10:48] Honoka**
Th-That's not true.
**[10:50] Honoka**
Besides, I'm the one
who said I would quit.
**[10:54] Eli**
People say I seem calm and collected,
but that's not true at all.
**[11:02] Honoka**
Eli-chan...
**[11:03] Eli**
I'm always lost, confused,
and on the verge of tears.
**[11:07] Eli**
Nozomi has actually seen this
embarrassing side of me before.
**[11:11] Eli**
But I hide my weakness.
**[11:16] Eli**
I'm jealous of you.
**[11:19] Eli**
I think it's amazing you honestly
act according to your emotions.
**[11:24] Honoka**
That's not...
**[11:29] Eli**
It's delicious.
**[11:31] Eli**
Listen, Honoka.
**[11:34] Eli**
Frankly, I don't know what
to say to you right now.
**[11:40] Eli**
We're shocked Kotori is leaving,
**[11:44] Eli**
and just imagining how you and
Umi-chan must feel is painful.
**[11:47] Eli**
But you taught me something
very important.
**[11:54] Eli**
The courage to charge forward
without being afraid of change.
**[12:01] Eli**
You saved me back then.
**[12:45] All**
Love Live!
**[12:55] Director**
Are you sure you don't need
to say good-bye to everyone?
**[12:57] Kotori**
Yeah. I'd probably cry
again if I saw them.
**[13:02] Director**
I see.
**[13:02] Kotori**
I can go the rest
of the way by myself.
**[13:05] Kotori**
I'll call you when I get there.
**[13:08] Director**
Kotori.
**[13:11] Director**
Take care of yourself.
**[13:41] Honoka**
Sorry for inviting you
here on such short notice.
**[13:45] Umi**
It's fine...
**[13:46] Honoka**
Where's Kotori-chan?
**[13:48] Umi**
She's leaving Japan today.
**[13:51] Honoka**
Really...
**[13:54] Umi**
Honoka...
**[13:56] Honoka**
When we sang together here at our
first concert, I had a thought.
**[14:02] Honoka**
I wanted to sing more and
keep being School Idols.
**[14:07] Honoka**
I said I would quit,
but that didn't change how I felt.
**[14:10] Honoka**
It's not for the school
or the Love Live.
**[14:14] Honoka**
I just love singing.
**[14:17] Honoka**
I can't give it up, so...
**[14:21] Honoka**
I'm sorry!
**[14:23] Honoka**
I'm sure I'll cause you
more trouble in the future.
**[14:26] Honoka**
I'll be so preoccupied
**[14:27] Honoka**
I won't notice when someone
is worried about something,
**[14:29] Honoka**
and I'll get so excited
I'll ruin my own efforts!
**[14:32] Honoka**
After all, I'm awkward!
**[14:34] Honoka**
But I still want to keep
chasing that dream!
**[14:37] Honoka**
I know I'm selfish, but I...
**[14:45] Honoka**
Umi-chan, why are you laughing?
**[14:47] Honoka**
I'm being serious!
**[14:50] Umi**
I'm sorry.
**[14:52] Umi**
But honestly speaking...
**[14:58] Umi**
You've been causing me
trouble for a long time.
**[15:02] Honoka**
What?
**[15:03] Umi**
Kotori and I would talk
about it all the time.
**[15:06] Umi**
How we would always run into trouble
when we were with you...
**[15:10] Umi**
No matter how much
we tried to stop you,
**[15:11] Umi**
once you set your heart on something,
you wouldn't listen to anyone...
**[15:14] Umi**
It was the same way
with School Idols.
**[15:16] Umi**
I really didn't want to do it.
**[15:19] Honoka**
Umi-chan...
**[15:20] Umi**
I wanted to do
something to stop you.
**[15:23] Umi**
I even resented you sometimes.
**[15:25] Umi**
I'm sure you didn't notice...
**[15:28] Honoka**
Sorry.
**[15:30] Umi**
But you took me with you.
**[15:35] Umi**
To an amazing place where Kotori and I
didn't have the courage to go.
**[15:41] Honoka**
Umi-chan...
**[15:43] Umi**
I wasn't angry because you
didn't realize how Kotori felt.
**[15:47] Umi**
It was because I realized you
weren't being honest with yourself.
**[15:52] Umi**
I'm used to being
pushed around by you.
**[15:56] Umi**
So please, take us with you instead.
**[15:59] Umi**
Take us to a world we don't know!
**[16:02] Umi**
That is what's most
amazing about you.
**[16:05] Umi**
Kotori and I and all the members
of μ's feel the same way.
**[16:19] Umi**
Because I felt the possibility
**[16:24] Umi**
That's it! Keep on going
**[16:29] Honoka**
I don't want to have any regrets
**[16:33] Kotori**
Our path is right in front of us
**[16:39] Umi**
Kotori is waiting!
**[16:40] [SONG]**
Let's go! Do! I do! I live!
**[16:41] Umi**
Go and get her!
**[16:43] Honoka**
What?! But Kotori-chan...
**[16:45] Umi**
She's just like me.
**[16:45] [SONG]**
Yes, do! I do! I live!
**[16:47] Umi**
Kotori wants you
to take her with you.
**[16:49] Umi**
She wants you to be selfish.
**[16:49] [SONG]**
Let's go, let's go!
**[16:50] Honoka**
Selfish?!
**[16:51] Umi**
Yes, selfish.
**[16:53] Umi**
Even though she's been chosen
by a famous designer,
**[16:54] Umi**
she wants someone to tell her
to stay and keep being a School Idol.
**[16:55] [SONG]**
One, two, three, four!
**[16:57] Umi**
But the only person
who can say that...
**[17:01] ---**
Hi!
**[17:01] [SONG]**
Face forwards, face upwards,
don't wait for anything
**[17:06] [SONG]**
Let's go now, let's go quickly
**[17:09] [SONG]**
It doesn't matter where
**[17:11] [SONG]**
The sun is shining
and welcoming the future
**[17:16] Honoka**
Kotori-chan!
**[17:16] [SONG]**
Come, let's go
**[17:17] Honoka**
Kotori-chan!
**[17:17] [SONG]**
Let's go
**[17:19] [SONG]**
Let's head towards tomorrow
**[17:22] Honoka**
Kotori-chan, I'm sorry!
**[17:22] [SONG]**
This burning heart
**[17:24] [SONG]**
It's too much to handle
**[17:24] Honoka**
I want to keep being a School Idol!
**[17:25] [SONG]**
I ran with it
**[17:26] [SONG]**
It was painful
**[17:27] Honoka**
I want to keep doing it with you!
**[17:28] [SONG]**
Come on, everyone
**[17:29] [SONG]**
More, more
**[17:29] Honoka**
Even if we someday pursue
a different dream...
**[17:30] [SONG]**
Move and confirm the
presence of this strength
**[17:35] Honoka**
Don't go!
**[17:36] [SONG]**
Let's go
**[17:37] Kotori**
No, I'm sorry...
**[17:37] [SONG]**
We can change this world
**[17:39] [SONG]**
Do! I do! I live! (Hi, hi, hi!)
**[17:41] Kotori**
I knew how I felt, but I...
**[17:41] [SONG]**
Let's go
**[17:42] [SONG]**
As long as the possibility exists,
we won't give up (Hi, hi, hi!)
**[17:46] [SONG]**
Let's go
**[17:47] [SONG]**
With a natural smile, do! I do! I live!
(Hi, hi, hi!)
**[17:49] Hanayo**
I feel so nervous.
**[17:51] Rin**
We're wearing our uniforms.
**[17:52] [SONG]**
Let's go
**[17:52] [SONG]**
I found the possibility,
and now I can shine (Hi, hi, hi!)
**[17:54] Maki**
What's wrong with that? It seems
like something a School Idol would wear.
**[17:56] Nico**
Are Honoka and Kotori
really going to make it?
**[17:56] [SONG]**
There is a place for us
**[17:59] [SONG]**
Let's go! Do! I do! I live!
**[17:59] Umi**
They will come.
They'll definitely be here.
**[18:02] Nozomi**
It's almost time, though.
**[18:04] [SONG]**
Yes, do! I do! I live!
**[18:04] Eli**
We can't keep our audience waiting.
**[18:08] [SONG]**
Let's go, let's go!
**[18:13] Honoka**
Ouch!
**[18:14] Hanayo**
Honoka-chan?!
**[18:15] Eli**
Kotori!
**[18:18] Honoka**
Thanks for waiting!
**[18:19] Rin**
You had us scared.
**[18:22] Nozomi**
Now that everyone's here,
President, you have the floor.
**[18:26] Nico**
What?!
**[18:27] Nico**
Just kidding. I actually
thought about this one.
**[18:31] Nico**
Girls! Let's wear our
best smiles today!
**[18:34] Honoka**
One!
**[18:35] Kotori**
Two!
**[18:36] Umi**
Three!
**[18:36] Maki**
Four!
**[18:37] Rin**
Five!
**[18:38] Hanayo**
Six!
**[18:38] Nico**
Seven!
**[18:39] Nozomi**
Eight!
**[18:40] Eli**
Nine!
**[18:41] Honoka**
Okay, let's go!
**[18:51] [SONG]**
I say...
**[18:54] [SONG]**
Hey, hey, hey, START:DASH!!
**[19:01] [SONG]**
Hey, hey, hey, START:DASH!!
**[19:07] [SONG]**
Even baby birds covered in down
**[19:10] [SONG]**
Will someday flap
their wings in the sky
**[19:14] [SONG]**
They'll fly with big, strong wings
**[19:20] [SONG]**
You must not give up
**[19:23] [SONG]**
That day will definitely come
**[19:27] [SONG]**
You must feel it, too
**[19:29] [SONG]**
The starting beat
**[19:32] [SONG]**
Change to tomorrow!
**[19:36] [SONG]**
Change to hope!
**[19:39] [SONG]**
Change bathed in the blinding light
**[19:45] [SONG]**
START!!

Blocked in by sadness
**[19:47] Honoka**
We performed our first
concert in this auditorium.
**[19:50] [SONG]**
You won't just cry
**[19:51] Honoka**
At the time, I thought I wanted
to fill these seats someday.
**[19:53] [SONG]**
Your burning heart will
open the way to the future
**[19:57] Honoka**
We're here now because
of all our hard work.
**[19:59] [SONG]**
Blocked in by sadness
**[20:01] Honoka**
I wanted to give that feeling
to everyone someday.
**[20:03] [SONG]**
It's not fun to just cry
**[20:04] Honoka**
That dream came true today.
**[20:06] [SONG]**
Surely (surely) your (dreams)
**[20:07] Honoka**
That's why we will run again.
**[20:09] [SONG]**
Have the power, the power
to change (the present)
**[20:11] Honoka**
Towards a new dream!
**[20:13] [SONG]**
I believe... so let's START!!
**[20:19] [SONG]**
Another dream is born...
**[20:44] [SONG]**
Blocked in by sadness
**[20:48] [SONG]**
You won't just cry
**[20:51] [SONG]**
Your burning heart will
open the way to the future
**[20:57] [SONG]**
Accept this happiness
**[21:00] [SONG]**
And join with me
**[21:04] [SONG]**
We should have finally
escaped from the maze
**[21:10] [SONG]**
Accept this happiness
**[21:13] [SONG]**
And we'll surely move forward
**[21:16] [SONG]**
It is (it is) of a distant (dream)
**[21:19] [SONG]**
It's (only) a fragment, but I love it
**[21:23] [SONG]**
Into the distance... I will DASH!!
**[21:29] [SONG]**
Hey, hey, hey, START:DASH!!

Chase after it honestly,
chase after it with courage
**[22:25] ---**
A small wish creates tomorrow
**[22:31] ---**
It might be possible if
everyone wishes for it
**[22:37] ---**
Try harder than anyone else
and always be passionate
**[22:44] ---**
We're trying to reach the
path with the beautiful wind
**[22:50] ---**
Raise your arms like wings
**[22:56] ---**
We'll fly into the bright future
**[23:02] ---**
We'll be able to hear the youth,
we'll be able to hear it that moment
**[23:09] ---**
If you're smiling, any day is okay!
**[23:14] ---**
We want to see the moment
that we can hear the youth
**[23:20] ---**
With you right next
to me (a happy sight)

You're the one next to me
