    Previously on Love Live!
[00:02] Honoka
    As new second year high school students,
SIGN    School Closure
[00:04] Honoka
    we heard the news that our school
     was going to be closed.
[00:06] Honoka
    My brilliant high school life...
[00:09] Honoka
    In order to stop our
    school from being closed,
[00:11] Honoka
    we have to increase the
    number of entering students.
[00:13] Honoka
    That's when I decided
    to promote my school
[00:16] Honoka
    by becoming one of those School
    Idols that are popular these days.
[00:18] Honoka
    But...
[00:18] Umi
    No idols.
[00:20] Eli
    Focus on what you
    should do for yourselves.
[00:24] Honoka
    But I still want to do
    something for my school.
[00:26] Honoka
    I can't give up.
[00:27] Honoka
    I'm going to do it!
SIGN    Auditorium Request Form
[00:42] Eli
    What do you want so early in the morning?
[00:43] Honoka
    I thought I'd ask for permission
    to use the auditorium!
[00:46] Umi
    The student handbook says students can
[00:48] Umi
    use the auditorium for purposes
    not associated with club activities.
[00:53] Nozomi
    This is after school on the
    day of the Welcome Party.
[00:56] Eli
    What are you planning to do?
[00:58] Umi
    Well...
[00:59] Honoka
    We're going to put on a concert!
[01:01] Honoka
    The three of us are School Idols,
[01:04] Honoka
    and we've decided to hold our
    first concert in the auditorium.
[01:06] Umi
    H-Honoka...
[01:08] Kotori
    W-We don't know if we'll
    be able to do it yet...
[01:11] Honoka
    What? We will.
[01:12] Umi
    Hold on.
[01:14] Umi
    I never agreed to appear onstage...
[01:16] Eli
    Can you do it in that condition?
[01:18] Honoka
    Huh?
[01:18] Honoka
    W-We'll be fine!
[01:20] Eli
    The Welcome Party isn't a game.
[01:23] Nozomi
    These three girls came to get permission
    to use the auditorium, didn't they?
[01:27] Nozomi
    Since they're not even a club,
    the student council doesn't have the right
[01:30] Nozomi
    to say all sorts of things about
    the nature of their request.
[01:32] Eli
    Yes, but...
[01:34] All
    Excuse us.
[01:37] Honoka
    All right!
[01:40] Eli
    Why are you supporting them?
[01:45] Nozomi
    No matter how many times I do it,
    that's what they tell me to do.
[01:51] Nozomi
    The cards...
[01:57] Nozomi
    It's what the cards are telling me to do!
[03:31] Umi
    I explained this to you.
[03:33] Umi
    Don't mention the idol business,
    and borrow whatever we can.
[03:37] Honoka
    Why?
[03:39] Umi
    Bread again?
[03:40] Honoka
    You know I never get to eat bread since
    my mom runs a Japanese sweet shop.
SIGN    # 2 - Let's Be Idols!
[03:45] Umi
    But before lunch... You're going to get fat...
[03:47] Honoka
    Yeah...
[03:51] Hideko
    You two.
[03:52] Fumiko
    We saw the bulletin board.
[03:54] Hideko
    You're going to be School Idols?
[03:56] Umi
    What?
[03:56] Fumiko
    I didn't think you'd do it, Umi-chan.
[04:00] Umi
    Did you put something up
    on the bulletin board?
[04:02] Honoka
    Yeah! Information about our concert.
[04:05] Umi
    You always do whatever you want!
[04:06] Umi
    We only have one more month,
    and we can't actually do anything yet!
[04:11] Umi
    You're being far too optimistic!
[04:12] Honoka
    But Kotori-chan said I could do it.
[04:17] Kotori
    Like... this...
[04:19] Umi
    Kotori?
[04:20] Kotori
    Yeah, something like this.
[04:23] Kotori
    Look, I tried coming up with
    costumes for our concert.
[04:29] Honoka
    They're cute!
[04:30] Kotori
    Really?
[04:31] Kotori
    This curved line will be difficult,
    but I think I might try making it...
[04:36] Honoka
    Yeah, yeah, yeah!
[04:37] Umi
    K-Kotori?
[04:39] Kotori
    What do you think, Umi-chan?
[04:42] Umi
    Um...
[04:43] Honoka
    It's cute, right? Right?
[04:47] Umi
    Th-These long things here...
[04:51] Kotori
    They're legs.
[04:53] Umi
    Are you saying we're going to wear
    short skirts with bare legs?
[04:56] Kotori
    We're idols.
[05:01] Honoka
    It's okay!
[05:03] Honoka
    Umi-chan, your legs aren't that big.
[05:06] Umi
    You're one to talk.
[05:09] Honoka
    Huh?
[05:16] Honoka
    All right! I'm going on a diet!
[05:18] Kotori
    I think you both look fine...
[05:22] Honoka
    We've got to make up our minds
    about lots of other things, too.
[05:25] Honoka
    We'll need to figure out our autographs,
[05:26] Honoka
    and how to disguise ourselves when
    we're walking around the city.
[05:28] Umi
    There's no need for any of that.
[05:30] Kotori
    More importantly...
[05:33] Kotori
    We haven't decided on a
    name for our group yet.
[05:41] Honoka
    I can't come up with anything.
[05:44] Kotori
    It would be easy if we had some
    kind of distinguishing feature...
[05:47] Umi
    Our personalities are all different.
[05:50] Honoka
    Then, we'll simply use our names...
[05:53] Honoka
    Honoka Umi Kotori!
[05:55] All
    Hello!
[05:57] Honoka
    Honoka!
[05:57] Umi
    Umi!
[05:58] Kotori
    Kotori here!
[06:00] Umi
    That sounds like a comedy group...
[06:01] Honoka
    Yeah...
[06:03] Honoka
    I know!
[06:04] Honoka
    Umi-chan, you're Ocean!
[06:06] Honoka
    Kotori-chan, you're Sky!
[06:07] Honoka
    I'm Land!
[06:09] Honoka
    Together, we're Land Ocean Sky!
[06:12] All
    Protect the peace of the civilians!
[06:14] Kotori
    That doesn't sound
    very idol-like at all...
[06:16] Honoka
    Yeah...
[06:19] Honoka
    Then... then...
[06:23] Honoka
    I know!
SIGN    First Concert Notice!
SIGN    And... Requesting group names!
[06:27] Honoka
    That should do it!
[06:28] Umi
    You're leaving it up to others...
[06:30] Honoka
    I bet people will be more
    interested this way.
[06:32] Kotori
    You might be right.
[06:35] Honoka
    Okay, now let's practice
    our singing and dancing!
[06:48] Honoka
    We'd probably get in the way here...
[06:53] Honoka
    This place is totally full, too.
[06:55] Kotori
    It's locked...
[06:57] Umi
    We can't just use an empty classroom...
[07:00] Teacher
    An empty classroom? Why do you want to use it?
[07:03] Honoka
    School Idol practice...
[07:05] Teacher
    You? Idols?
[07:10] Honoka
    You laughed!
[07:13] Honoka
    So...
[07:15] Umi
    We'll have to use this place...
[07:17] Kotori
    There's no shade, and we won't
    be able to use it if it rains.
[07:20] Kotori
    But beggars can't be choosers, can they?
[07:23] Honoka
    Yeah, but at least we won't have to
    worry about making too much noise up here.
[07:27] Honoka
    All right! We've got to practice hard!
[07:31] Honoka
    Let's start by practicing our singing!
[07:33] Both
    Okay!
[07:40] Kotori
    What song?
[07:41] Umi
    I don't know...
[07:44] Honoka
    Me, neither...
[07:54] Kayo
    Idols.
[07:56] Rin
    Kayo-chin!
[07:58] Kayo
    Rin-chan...
[07:59] Rin
    What's up?
[08:00] Kayo
    Oh, um...
[08:03] Kayo
    It's nothing...
[08:05] Rin
    Let's go home.
[08:08] Kayo
    Okay!
[08:16] Nico
    What is this?
[08:17] Kayo
    Wh-Who knows?
SIGN    Homura
[08:22] Mom
    Oh, welcome.
[08:24] Umi
    Good evening. Where's Honoka?
[08:26] Mom
    She's upstairs.
[08:27] Mom
    Would you like some dango?
[08:29] Umi
    No, thank you.
SIGN    Homura Manju
[08:32] Umi
    I need to go on a diet...
[08:34] Both
    Good work!
[08:36] Honoka
    Would you like some dango?
[08:37] Kotori
    I'll pour you some tea.
[08:44] Umi
    What about your diet?
[08:50] Umi
    You don't seem to have any
    intention of working hard...
[08:53] Umi
    So, what about our song?
[08:56] Honoka
    There's a first year who's
    really good at singing.
[08:59] Honoka
    She's great at piano, too, so I'm thinking
    she can probably compose, as well...
[09:03] Honoka
    I'm thinking of asking
    her about it tomorrow!
[09:06] Kotori
    We were just saying if she
    can compose a song for us,
[09:09] Kotori
    we can do something about the lyrics!
[09:11] Umi
    Something... you say?
[09:13] Honoka
    Yeah, right?
[09:15] Kotori
    Yeah!
[09:19] Umi
    Wh-What is it?
[09:22] Honoka
    Umi-chan, in middle school,
    you wrote some poems and stuff, right?
[09:27] Umi
    What?
[09:28] Kotori
    You read them to us once, too, right?
[09:35] Both
    She ran for it!
[09:36] Umi
    Please, no! I'm leaving!
[09:37] Honoka
    Come on, come on!
[09:39] Umi
    No, no!
[09:41] Umi
    I refuse!
[09:43] Honoka
    What?! Why, why?
[09:44] Kotori
    What?
[09:45] Umi
    I refuse to do it!
[09:47] Umi
    The poems I wrote in middle school are so
    embarrassing I don't want to think about them!
[09:51] Honoka
    They say idols have to
    throw away their shame.
[09:54] Umi
    No, they don't!
[09:55] Kotori
    But I have my hands
    full making outfits...
[09:58] Umi
    There's always Honoka.
[10:01] Umi
    You're the one who suggested we do this.
[10:03] Honoka
    Yeah, but I...
[10:05] Honoka
    I'm sick of manju and dango.
[10:09] Kotori
    You don't really think
    she can do it, do you?
[10:11] Umi
    Well...
[10:12] Kotori
    Please. You're the only one
    who can do it, Umi-chan!
[10:15] Honoka
    We'll even help you!
[10:17] Honoka
    At least write something
    we can work with!
[10:26] Kotori
    Umi-chan...
[10:28] Kotori
    Please!
[10:34] Umi
    That's not fair, Kotori...
[10:36] Honoka
    Great!
[10:38] Honoka
    I thought you might say that.
[10:40] Umi
    However...
[10:41] Both
    Huh?
[10:42] Umi
    I will decide our practice
    schedule until the concert.
[10:45] Both
    Practice schedule?
[10:49] Umi
    Idols seem to have fun when they sing,
    but they're moving the whole time.
[10:52] Umi
    Despite that, they're able to keep
    smiling without losing their breath.
[10:55] Umi
    It requires a great amount of stamina.
[10:57] Umi
    Honoka, could you please
    do some push-ups?
[11:01] Honoka
    Huh?
[11:03] Honoka
    Like this?
[11:04] Umi
    Now, try smiling.
[11:05] Honoka
    Like this?
[11:07] Umi
    Can you keep doing push-ups like that?
[11:14] Honoka
    Ow!
[11:15] Umi
    I've trained myself through the
    archery club, but Honoka and Kotori,
[11:16] Honoka
    Ow, ow, ow, ow!
[11:19] Umi
    you need to at least gain enough
    stamina to look happy while you sing.
[11:22] Kotori
    Oh, right. Being an idol is hard work.
[11:26] Umi
    Yes, so...
[11:37] Honoka
    Five laps is hard!
[11:40] Kotori
    I can't move my legs anymore!
[11:42] Umi
    Starting today, every
    morning and evening,
[11:44] Umi
    in addition to dance and song practice,
[11:46] Umi
    you will do physical fitness training.
[11:49] Honoka
    Twice a day!?
[11:50] Umi
    That's right.
[11:51] Umi
    If we're going to put on a concert,
    we're going to do it right.
[11:54] Umi
    Otherwise, we won't be able
    to attract any students.
[11:58] Honoka
    Okay.
[12:01] Umi
    All right! One more set!
[12:03] Honoka
    Okay!
[12:05] Nozomi
    Girls.
[12:07] Kotori
    Vice President?
[12:10] Honoka
    That outfit...
[12:12] Nozomi
    I help out around here.
[12:14] Nozomi
    A shrine is a spiritual place
    that gathers all sorts of energy.
[12:19] Nozomi
    Since the three of you are using the steps,
    why don't you pay a visit to the shrine?
[12:26] Honoka
    May our first concert go well!
[12:29] Both
    May it go well!
[12:31] Nozomi
    Those three seem serious.
SIGN    Otonokizaka High Idol Club
[12:48] All
    Love Live!
[12:51] Honoka
    Excuse me!
[12:56] Honoka
    Hello, first years!
[12:59] Honoka
    I'm School Idol Kosaka Honoka!
[13:04] Honoka
    Huh? I'm not getting through to them?
[13:07] Umi
    Of course you're not!
[13:08] Kotori
    So, the girl who's good at
    singing you mentioned...
[13:13] Honoka
    Oh.
[13:15] Honoka
    You! Do you have a minute?
[13:16] Maki
    Me?
[13:18] Maki
    I refuse.
[13:19] Honoka
    Please! We want you to compose for us!
[13:23] Maki
    I refuse.
[13:25] Honoka
    Could it be that you just
    sing and don't write?
[13:29] Maki
    Of course I can.
[13:32] Maki
    I just don't want to...
[13:34] Honoka
    We're trying to attract
    students to our school.
[13:37] Honoka
    If your songs attract enough students...
[13:39] Maki
    I'm not interested.
[13:45] Honoka
    "I refuse"? She sounds
    just like you, Umi-chan...
[13:48] Umi
    That's the normal response.
[13:51] Honoka
    And you went through all the trouble
    of writing such good lyrics, too...
[13:54] Umi
    Don't!
[13:55] Honoka
    Why not? We're going to sing this in front
    of everyone once we have our music.
[13:59] Umi
    I know, but...
[14:02] Honoka
    Student Council President?
[14:04] Eli
    Do you have a minute?
[14:06] Teacher
    So, when a and b are real numbers, the
    sum of a+b is known as a complex number.
[14:14] Teacher
    For example, 3i and 1+√5i
    are both complex numbers.
[14:16] Honoka
    The opposite effect...
[14:18] Eli
    What will everyone think if a school that
[14:21] Eli
    hasn't had School Idols
    in the past, tries and fails?
[14:27] Eli
    I don't want this school to close, either.
[14:30] Eli
    If you truly feel the same way,
    I want you to give it more thought...
[14:35] Honoka
    She might be right...
[14:37] Honoka
    I may have been thinking too simply...
[14:41] Umi
    You finally noticed?
[14:43] Honoka
    But I didn't mean it as a joke.
[14:46] Honoka
    I'm doing everything on
    your practice schedule.
[14:50] Honoka
    All I have to show for it are
    some sore leg muscles, though...
[14:52] Umi
    I do think you're trying hard,
[14:55] Umi
    but you have to consider what
    the student council president said.
[14:59] Honoka
    You're right. There's not
    even a month left...
[15:03] Kotori
    If we're going to put on a concert,
    we have to decide what we're singing...
[15:07] Umi
    We don't have any time
    to look for a composer now.
[15:11] Umi
    I think we'll have to sing
    something by other School Idols.
[15:15] Kotori
    You're right.
[15:17] Honoka
    Yeah...
[15:28] Hideko
    How's your practice coming along?
[15:30] Fumiko
    If there's anything we can do to help
    you with the concert, let us know.
[15:33] Mika
    Lighting, organizing the audience...
[15:35] Mika
    You've got a lot to do, don't you?
[15:37] Honoka
    Huh? Really!?
[15:39] Hideko
    Yeah.
[15:40] Hideko
    After all, you're doing
    this for the school.
[15:44] Mika
    Everyone in our class is
    saying we should help out.
[15:48] Honoka
    I see...
[15:50] Fumiko
    You can do it!
[15:52] Honoka
    Thanks!
[15:53] Honoka
    Bye, bye!
[15:54] All
    Bye, bye!
[16:01] Umi
    There's something in there?!
[16:02] Kotori
    Really?!
[16:03] Honoka
    We got one!
[16:05] Honoka
    One!
[16:09] Honoka
    Use?
[16:11] Umi
    I think it's supposed to read "Muse."
[16:13] Honoka
    Oh, like the soap?
[16:14] Umi
    No.
[16:16] Umi
    I think it must come from
    the goddess of mythology.
[16:19] Honoka
    Huh...
[16:21] Kotori
    I think it's great! I like it.
[16:26] Honoka
    Muse, huh?
[16:30] Honoka
    Yeah. Starting today, we're Muse!
[16:34] Student A
    I heard they always practice on the roof.
[16:37] Student B
    I didn't think there were any
    School Idols at our school.
[16:41] Rin
    Kayo-chin, let's go home.
[16:43] Kayo
    O-Okay...
[16:49] Honoka
    No one's here.
[16:50] Rin
    Meow?
[16:51] Honoka
    Hey, where's that girl?
[16:52] Rin
    Which girl?
[16:53] Kayo
    You mean Nishikino-san?
    She's good at singing...
[16:57] Honoka
    Yeah, her! Her name is Nishikino-san?
[17:00] Kayo
    Yes. Nishikino Maki-san.
[17:03] Honoka
    I actually wanted to talk to her,
    but it looks like she already went home.
[17:08] Rin
    Maybe she's in the music room.
[17:10] Honoka
    The music room?
[17:11] Rin
    She doesn't talk much with anyone.
[17:15] Rin
    She's always in the library during breaks,
    and she goes to the music room after school.
[17:20] Honoka
    I see...
[17:23] Honoka
    Thanks, guys.
[17:25] Kayo
    Excuse me!
[17:29] Kayo
    P-Please do your best at... being idols.
[17:36] Honoka
    Yeah, we will!
[17:43] Maki
    What do you want?
[17:45] Honoka
    I thought I'd ask you again...
[17:48] Maki
    You're persistent.
[17:49] Honoka
    Yeah, I guess I am. Umi-chan is
    always getting mad at me.
[17:54] Maki
    I never listen to songs like that.
[17:57] Maki
    I listen to classical music and jazz...
[18:00] Honoka
    Really? Why not?
[18:02] Maki
    Because they're so light
    and lack substance.
[18:05] Maki
    It's like child's play.
[18:07] Honoka
    You're right.
[18:08] Maki
    Huh?
[18:09] Honoka
    I actually felt the same way.
[18:11] Honoka
    I thought we were going to
    party and have fun singing...
[18:18] Honoka
    But it's actually pretty hard.
[18:23] Honoka
    Say, can you do push-ups?
[18:26] Maki
    What?
[18:27] Honoka
    You can't.
[18:29] Maki
    Of course I can!
[18:32] Maki
    One, two, three.
[18:35] Maki
    Is this what you wanted?
[18:37] Honoka
    Pretty impressive. You're better than me!
[18:40] Maki
    Of course I am. I'm actually...
[18:43] Honoka
    Okay, try smiling while doing it.
[18:45] Maki
    Why?
[18:46] Honoka
    Just do it.
[18:56] Honoka
    See? Being an idol's pretty hard, right?
[18:59] Maki
    What are you talking about?
[19:02] Maki
    Sheesh.
[19:03] Honoka
    Here are the lyrics.
[19:04] Honoka
    Try reading them.
[19:06] Maki
    I told you, I...
[19:08] Honoka
    You can at least read them, right?
[19:09] Honoka
    I'll come ask you about it later.
[19:11] Honoka
    If you tell me you don't want
    to do it then, I'll give it up.
[19:17] Maki
    I don't think my answer will change.
[19:20] Honoka
    Then, that's okay.
[19:22] Honoka
    If that happens, let me
    listen to you sing again.
[19:24] Maki
    What?
[19:25] Honoka
    I love your voice, Nishikino-san.
[19:29] Honoka
    I wanted to ask you to compose for us
[19:31] Honoka
    because you moved me with
    your singing and piano!
[19:38] Honoka
    We train on the steps
    every morning and evening,
[19:42] Honoka
    so feel free to stop by, if you like.
[19:45] Honoka
    I love your voice, Nishikino-san.
[19:51] Honoka
    I can't take it anymore!
[19:55] Kotori
    I can't move.
[19:57] Umi
    That's not good enough.
    You still have two laps left,
[20:00] Umi
    or are you giving up?
[20:02] Honoka
    Umi-chan, you're such a slave driver!
[20:04] Kotori
    Actually, it's probably more accurate
    to call her an evil drill sergeant...
[20:11] Honoka
    What was that?
[20:13] Kotori
    Who knows?
[20:14] Maki
    Wha... wha...
[20:16] Maki
    What are you doing?!
[20:17] Nozomi
    You still seem to be developing...
[20:20] Maki
    What?!
[20:21] Nozomi
    But you haven't given up your
    desire yet, so there's still hope.
[20:24] Nozomi
    They may get bigger yet!
[20:26] Maki
    What are you talking about?
[20:28] Nozomi
    If you're embarrassed, there's
    a stealthy way to do things.
[20:33] Maki
    What are you...
[20:34] Nozomi
    You know what I mean.
[20:43] Honoka
    See you later!
[20:45] Yukiho
    Onee-chan!
[20:48] Yukiho
    Is this yours? There's no address.
[20:51] Yukiho
    It says "Muse", though.
[20:54] Honoka
    What?
[21:00] Honoka
    This...
[21:05] Honoka
    Here we go...
[21:13] [SONG]
    I say, hey! Hey! Hey! Start-Dash!
[21:16] Honoka
    This voice...
[21:21] Honoka
    Amazing... It's a real song...
[21:24] [SONG]
    Hey! Hey! Hey! Start-Dash!
[21:26] Kotori
    Our...
[21:29] Umi
    Our song...
[21:30] [SONG]
    Even birds who cannot move
    will someday fly in the sky
SIGN    Otonokizaka High Idol Club μ's (Muse)
[21:37] [SONG]
    They'll fly with big wings
[21:39] Umi
    We got votes...
[21:43] [SONG]
    Don't give up, that day
    will definitely come
[21:49] Honoka
    Let's practice!
[21:49] [SONG]
    You must feel the starting beat, as well
[21:51] Both
    Yeah!
