    Previously on Love Live!
[00:02] Hanayo
    I long to be a School Idol,
    but I couldn't say I wanted to do it.
[00:06] Hanayo
    It's impossible.
[00:07] Hanayo
    Rin-chan and Maki-chan
    gave me their support,
[00:09] Hanayo
    but I just couldn't
    find the courage.
[00:11] Hanayo
    But...
[00:12] Maki
    Even you can do it.
[00:13] Rin
    I know you've always
    wanted to be an idol.
[00:18] Hanayo
    I believe I want to be
    an idol more than anyone else!
[00:21] Hanayo
    Please make me a member of μ's!
[00:23] Hanayo
    Having found my courage, I decided
    to become the idol I've longed to be.
[00:28] Hanayo
    With Honoka-san and her friends.
SIGN    Kanda Shrine
[00:55] Honoka
    Sorry, sorry. Have you
    been waiting long?
[00:57] Kotori
    No, I just got here, too.
[01:01] Kotori
    Umi-chan said the Archery Club
    has practice this morning.
[01:04] Honoka
    I see.
[01:07] Honoka
    Kotori-chan?
[01:08] Kotori
    Honoka-chan, was there someone
    standing behind me just now?
[01:11] Honoka
    Behind you?
[01:13] Kotori
    Sneak.
[01:15] Kotori
    Sneak, sneak.
[01:18] Kotori
    Sneak.
[01:19] Kotori
    Huh?
[01:28] Kotori
    Ouch!
[01:37] Kotori
    Honoka-chan?
[01:46] Nico
    You girls.
[01:48] Nico
    Disband your group immediately!
[01:54] Kotori
    Who was that?
[02:08] ---
    Our honest feelings
    bring us together
[02:13] ---
    You may not be the best even though
    you're serious and there may be conflicts
[02:18] ---
    Despite that we want
    to dream the big dream
[02:23] ---
    That's right here and
    it's beginning now
[02:27] ---
    (We know)
[02:28] ---
    That it's not just going to be fun.
    There will be trials, too
[02:32] ---
    (We know)
[02:33] ---
    That those hardships
    are part of our future
[02:37] ---
    (We're going)
[02:38] ---
    If we come together,
    we'll all become stronger
[02:42] ---
    (For sure) We'll keep
    changing (We'll be star!)
[02:47] ---
    If we can all do our
    best with what we love
[02:52] ---
    The new (place) is our goal
[02:57] ---
    If we can all believe
    in what we love
[03:02] ---
    We can (embrace) the
    flutters and move forward
[03:07] ---
    (Throw away your fear)
    with the best smile
[03:12] ---
    (Fly higher and higher) We are
    now waiting in the shining light
[03:28] Honoka
    Okay, then.
[03:29] Honoka
    With the addition
    of our new members,
[03:31] Honoka
    let the School Idol group,
    μ's, begin practicing.
[03:35] Umi
    How long are you going
    to keep saying that?
[03:37] Umi
    That was two weeks ago.
[03:40] Honoka
    Yeah, but I'm happy!
SIGN    # 5 - Nico Attacks
[03:44] Honoka
    Now, same as always.
[03:46] Honoka
    One!
[03:47] Kotori
    Two!
[03:48] Umi
    Three!
[03:48] Maki
    Four!
[03:49] Rin
    Five!
[03:49] Hanayo
    Six!
[03:52] Honoka
    There's six of us, six!
[03:54] Honoka
    We're just like an idol group.
[03:56] Honoka
    Maybe someday the six of us will be
    known as the "God Six" or the "Buddha Six."
[04:02] Hanayo
    The phrase, "Hotoke Six", makes us
    sound like we're dead, though...
[04:04] Rin
    I'm so jealous you can find so much
    excitement in the same thing every day.
[04:08] Honoka
    I love being around
    lots of people, right?
[04:11] Honoka
    And with lots of us, no one will
    notice if I can't sing very well.
[04:14] Honoka
    And even if I mess up my dancing...
[04:16] Umi
    Honoka.
[04:17] Honoka
    I'm kidding.
[04:18] Kotori
    She's right. We have
    to do it properly.
[04:21] Kotori
    Otherwise, people will get mad
    at us like that girl this morning.
[04:25] Nico
    Disband your group!
[04:26] Umi
    That's what she said, right?
[04:28] Rin
    But that means we've
    become more famous.
[04:31] Maki
    Anyway, we should practice.
    We're running out of time.
[04:35] Rin
    Maki-chan, you're raring to go.
[04:37] Maki
    Not really. I just want to get
    it over with, so I can go home.
[04:42] Rin
    There you go again.
[04:43] Rin
    I saw you practicing
    by yourself at lunch.
[04:48] Maki
    That was because our choreography
    the other day was so bad,
[04:51] Maki
    I was trying to change it.
[04:53] Maki
    It's too awful to dance.
[04:56] Umi
    I see...
[04:58] Umi
    I came up with that choreography.
[05:02] Maki
    What?
[05:03] Rin
    Don't worry about it.
[05:05] Rin
    You're just shy, right, Maki-chan?
[05:15] Honoka
    It's raining...
[05:19] Honoka
    It's pouring.
[05:21] Kotori
    They did say the rainy
    season had started.
[05:23] Honoka
    Yeah, but it's raining way too much.
[05:26] Honoka
    There was only a 60% chance of rain.
[05:29] Maki
    It's not strange at all for
    it to rain with a 60% chance.
[05:32] Honoka
    Yeah, but it was 60% yesterday and
    the day before that, and it didn't rain.
[05:37] Kotori
    I think the rain might
    have let up a little.
[05:41] Honoka
    You're right.
[05:42] Honoka
    It's only a 60% chance!
[05:44] Honoka
    I'm so happy!
[05:46] Rin
    We can practice in this weather!
[05:48] Umi
    Yes, but the ground
    is wet and slippery.
[05:51] Umi
    And who knows when it
    will start raining again?
[05:55] Honoka
    It's okay. We can practice!
[05:59] Rin
    I'm excited!
[06:15] Honoka
    It's like we're in a music video!
    This is awesome!
[06:17] Maki
    I'm going home.
[06:19] Hanayo
    I-I might go today, too...
[06:20] Kotori
    You're right.
    We can practice tomorrow.
[06:23] Honoka
    What? You're leaving?
[06:25] Rin
    You'll make us look stupid!
[06:28] Umi
    You are stupid.
[06:29] Umi
    But if it keeps raining,
[06:32] Umi
    we'll have to do something
    about where we practice.
[06:35] Hanayo
    Can't we practice in the gym?
[06:37] Umi
    Other clubs are using the
    auditorium and the gym.
[06:53] Nozomi
    Those girls aren't showing any
    signs of giving up, Nico-cchi.
[07:09] Umi
    Honoka, if you eat when you're stressed,
    you'll have trouble to deal with later.
[07:14] Honoka
    Why won't the rain stop?
[07:16] Umi
    How should I know?
[07:19] Honoka
    I was all ready to practice, too.
[07:21] Honoka
    The rain should be a little
    more sensitive, seriously.
[07:29] Nico
    Maybe I went too far today.
[07:32] Boy
    It's poop!
[07:33] Nico
    Shut up!
[07:36] Kotori
    Honoka-chan.
[07:38] Kotori
    I just checked the weather forecast,
    and it's supposed to rain tomorrow, too.
[07:41] Honoka
    What?
[07:54] Honoka
    Huh?
[08:00] Honoka
    They're gone.
[08:01] Honoka
    Umi-chan, you ate them, didn't you?
[08:03] Umi
    Did you forget how much you ate?
[08:06] Umi
    Unbelievable.
[08:08] Umi
    Honoka, did you eat mine?
[08:09] Honoka
    I didn't eat them!
[08:11] Maki
    Shouldn't we be thinking
    of a place to practice instead?
[08:13] Maki
    Could we borrow a classroom?
[08:16] Kotori
    We tried asking before,
[08:18] Kotori
    but the teacher told us she
    couldn't give us permission
[08:20] Kotori
    if we're not a proper club.
[08:22] Honoka
    Yeah...
[08:24] Honoka
    If we had five members,
[08:26] Honoka
    we could apply to become a proper
    club and use a classroom.
[08:32] Umi
    Five members?
[08:34] Hanayo
    If it's only five...
[08:41] Honoka
    That's it! I forgot!
[08:44] Honoka
    We should apply to be a club!
[08:46] Nico
    You forgot about that?!
[08:49] All
    What?
[08:51] Honoka
    What was that?
[08:54] Maki
    Anyway, what do you
    mean, you forgot?
[08:57] Honoka
    Well, I stopped worrying about
    it once we got more members...
[09:02] Maki
    These people are hopeless.
[09:04] Honoka
    All right! Let's submit our club
    application first thing tomorrow morning!
[09:07] Honoka
    Then, we can get a club room.
[09:10] Honoka
    Now that I'm relieved,
    I'm starting to feel hungry again.
[09:13] Honoka
    Well, then...
[09:27] Honoka
    Hey!
[09:29] Nico
    I told you to disband!
[09:32] Hanayo
    Disband?
[09:33] Honoka
    Forget about that!
    Give me back the fries you ate!
[09:35] Hanayo
    That's what you're worried about?
[09:38] Honoka
    Buy me some new ones!
[09:39] Nico
    Your dancing and singing
    aren't good at all!
[09:42] Nico
    It's not nearly professional enough!
[09:44] Honoka
    What?
[09:46] Nico
    Listen, what you're doing
    is sacrilege against idols!
[09:49] Nico
    You're an embarrassment!
[09:50] Nico
    You should quit immediately.
[09:55] Boys
    It's poop!
[09:57] Boys
    The poop is running!
[09:58] Boys
    That's so cool!
[09:59] Boys
    Yeah!
[10:06] Honoka
    The Idol Study Club?
[10:08] Eli
    Yes. This school already has an idol-related
    group known as the Idol Study Club.
[10:14] Nozomi
    It only has one member, though.
[10:16] Honoka
    What? But you said the other day
    a club needs five members...
[10:20] Nozomi
    You need five members when
    you establish your club,
[10:23] Nozomi
    but after that, it doesn't
    matter how many there are.
[10:26] Eli
    With such a limited
    pool of students,
[10:28] Eli
    I wouldn't want to increase
    the number of clubs.
[10:31] Eli
    Because there is an Idol Study Club,
    I can't accept your club application.
[10:36] Honoka
    But...
[10:37] Eli
    There's nothing else to say...
[10:39] Nozomi
    Unless you go talk
    to the Idol Study Club.
[10:45] Eli
    Nozomi!
[10:46] Nozomi
    There's no problem if the
    two clubs become one, right?
[10:51] Nozomi
    Why don't you go to their club room?
SIGN    Idol Study Club
[11:03] Honoka
    So, you're...
[11:07] Honoka
    You're the president
    of the Idol Study Club?
[11:14] All
    Love Live!
[11:17] Honoka
    You're the president
    of the Idol Study Club?
[11:25] Honoka
    President, open up!
[11:27] Honoka
    President, open the door!
[11:30] Honoka
    It won't open!
[11:32] Rin
    Let's try entering from outside!
[11:38] Rin
    Stop!
[11:43] Rin
    Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop!
[11:50] Rin
    Gotcha!
[11:52] Rin
    Hey, wait!
[11:55] Nico
    You can't catch me.
[12:04] Rin
    Huh? She isn't here.
[12:07] Rin
    Where did she go?
[12:22] Kotori
    That's an A-RISE poster!
[12:25] Maki
    Those are School Idols from Fukuoka.
[12:27] Umi
    I had no idea there was
    a place like this at our school.
[12:30] Nico
    Do you mind not looking at my stuff?
SIGN    Legendary Idol Legend
[12:32] Hanayo
    I-Is this...
[12:35] Hanayo
    Is this the "Legendary Idol
    Legend" complete DVD box set?
[12:39] Hanayo
    I've never met someone
    who owned this before!
[12:42] Nico
    R-Really?
[12:43] Hanayo
    It's amazing!
[12:44] Nico
    I-I guess.
[12:47] Honoka
    Is it really that amazing?
[12:49] Hanayo
    You mean you don't know?!
[12:50] Hanayo
    The "Legendary Idol Legend" is a DVD
    box set released in limited quantities
[12:54] Hanayo
    through a compromise between
    production companies,
[12:57] Hanayo
    agencies, and schools featuring
    fantastic idols from the East and West.
[13:00] Hanayo
    Because it is so valuable,
    it's known as the Legendary Legend of Legends,
[13:03] Hanayo
    or the Leg-Leg-Legend for short.
[13:05] Hanayo
    Anyone who loves idols knows
    about this DVD box set!
[13:08] Honoka
    Ha-Hanayo-chan, you're acting
    a little different than usual.
[13:11] Hanayo
    To think you have two of these sets
[13:13] Hanayo
    that sold out in seconds in stores and online...
[13:15] Hanayo
    Amazing!
[13:17] Nico
    I have another set at home.
[13:19] Hanayo
    Really?!
[13:20] Hanako
    Then, let's watch it together.
[13:22] Nico
    You can't. It's a collector's item.
[13:26] Hanayo
    Leg-Leg-Legend...
[13:29] Rin
    Kayo-chin's exceptionally sad!
[13:33] Nico
    Oh, did you notice?
[13:36] Nico
    That's Akiba Charisma Maid
    Minalinsky's autograph.
[13:40] Umi
    Kotori, do you know who that is?
[13:42] Kotori
    No...
[13:43] Nico
    Well, I got it online, so I haven't
    actually seen her in person.
[13:50] Kotori
    Anyway, this girl is amazing.
[13:53] Nico
    So? Why did you come here?
[13:56] Honoka
    Miss Idol Study Club...
[13:58] Nico
    It's Nico.
[13:58] Honoka
    Nico-senpai,
    we're actually School Idols...
[14:03] Nico
    I know.
[14:04] Nico
    I'm sure Nozomi told you to come
    talk to me if you wanted to form a club.
[14:09] Honoka
    That makes this easy.
[14:10] Nico
    I thought it would
    happen eventually.
[14:14] Honoka
    So, then...
[14:15] Nico
    I refuse.
[14:16] Honoka
    What?
[14:17] Nico
    I'm saying, "I refuse."
[14:19] ---
    Um, well...
[14:21] Umi
    We only need a space
    for μ's to practice.
[14:25] Umi
    We're not asking you
    to shut down your club...
[14:29] Nico
    I told you that I refuse.
[14:30] Nico
    I told you that you're
    dirtying the image of idols.
[14:34] Honoka
    But we've been practicing!
    Our singing and dancing is...
[14:37] Nico
    That's not the point.
[14:43] Nico
    Have you created
    characters for yourselves?
[14:48] Honoka
    Characters?
[14:49] Nico
    Yes.
[14:50] Nico
    Audiences look to idols
    to provide them with fun,
[14:53] Nico
    dream-like experiences, don't they?
[14:55] Nico
    There are characters
    appropriate to that.
[14:59] Nico
    You're hopeless.
[15:01] Nico
    Listen, for example...
[15:05] Nico
    Nico-Nico-Ni!
[15:07] Nico
    I'll Nico-Nico-Ni your heart!
[15:10] Nico
    I'm Yazawa Nico-Nico, and I'll
    put a smile in your heart!
[15:13] Nico
    Remember, I'm Nico-Ni,
    and I love-Nico you!
[15:19] Nico
    Well?
[15:22] Umi
    This is...
[15:23] Kotori
    A character.
[15:24] Maki
    I can't do that.
[15:26] Rin
    Doesn't that seem kind of lame?
[15:28] Hanayo
    I see, I see.
[15:30] Nico
    You, there.
    Did you just call me lame?
[15:32] Rin
    Oh, no.
[15:33] Rin
    It was really cute! It was the best!
[15:36] Kotori
    I think it might work.
[15:38] Umi
    You're right. It's important to
    work hard to entertain your audience.
[15:42] Hanayo
    Amazing! I would expect nothing
    less of you, Nico-senpai!
[15:45] Honoka
    All right, I could do...
[15:47] Nico
    Get out.
[15:48] Honoka
    Huh?
[15:49] Nico
    We're done talking!
[15:51] Nico
    Get out already!
[15:56] Honoka
    Nico-senpai.
[15:58] Nozomi
    I thought she might throw you out.
[16:01] Honoka
    A School Idol?
[16:03] Umi
    Nico-senpai was?
[16:04] Nozomi
    I think it was our first year.
[16:07] Nozomi
    She formed a group with
    other girls from our year.
[16:10] Nozomi
    She's not doing it anymore, though.
[16:12] Kotori
    Did she quit?
[16:14] Nozomi
    Everyone but Nico-cchi did.
[16:18] Nozomi
    Her goals as an idol were
    probably too high for them.
[16:22] Nozomi
    They quit, one by one,
    saying they couldn't keep up.
[16:28] Nozomi
    Maybe that's why
    she's jealous of you.
[16:32] Nozomi
    If she can criticize your
    singing and dancing,
[16:36] Nozomi
    it means she's watching you
    with that much interest.
[16:40] Kotori
    Nico-senpai seems
    to have a lot to deal with now.
[16:43] Umi
    You're right.
[16:45] Umi
    Her standards are high.
[16:47] Umi
    I doubt she'll be satisfied
    by our performances.
[16:51] Umi
    She seems unwilling
    to be persuaded, too.
[16:55] Honoka
    Are you sure?
[16:57] Honoka
    Nico-senpai likes idols, right?
[17:00] Honoka
    She admires them.
[17:03] Honoka
    And she's a little
    interested in us, right?
[17:06] Kotori
    Yeah.
[17:07] Honoka
    I have a feeling it'll all work
    out with just a little something.
[17:12] Umi
    That's hardly specific.
[17:15] Honoka
    Yeah, but...
[17:22] Honoka
    Was that...
[17:24] Kotori
    Probably.
[17:25] Umi
    What should we do?
[17:28] Kotori
    She'd probably run away again
    if we tried talking to her.
[17:37] Umi
    Is something wrong?
[17:38] Honoka
    She's just like you, Umi-chan.
[17:40] Umi
    What?
[17:41] Honoka
    When we first met you...
[17:48] Kotori
    No!
[17:49] Honoka
    You're "it", Kotori-chan!
[17:51] Kotori
    That's not fair!
[18:00] Umi
    Did that really happen?
[18:02] Honoka
    You used to be really shy.
[18:06] Umi
    Does that have anything to do
    with the current situation?
[18:11] Honoka
    Yeah.
[18:12] Honoka
    Right?
[18:14] Kotori
    Oh, that time...
[18:15] Honoka
    Yeah, that's it.
[18:23] Nico
    What are they chatting
    about so happily?
[18:46] Girls
    Do you want to stop by
    somewhere on the way home?
[18:47] Girls
    Oh, yeah.
[18:48] Girls
    Hey, let's invite the girls
    from our club and go together.
[18:50] Girls
    Good idea. Where do you want to go?
[18:52] Girls
    What about that family restaurant?
[19:00] All
    Good work today!
[19:06] Nico
    What?
[19:06] Honoka
    Have some tea, President.
[19:08] Nico
    President?
[19:09] Kotori
    Here's this year's
    budget, President.
[19:12] Rin
    President, the merch sitting
    here was in the way,
[19:15] Rin
    so we moved them to a shelf.
[19:17] Nico
    Hey, you can't...
[19:18] Maki
    Anyway, could you recommend
    us a song to inspire us?
[19:22] Hanayo
    I-In that case, maybe we
    could start with this...
[19:25] Nico
    I told you, that's...
[19:26] Honoka
    By the way, we want to talk to you
    about our next song, President.
[19:29] Umi
    We were thinking we should
    be even more aware
[19:32] Umi
    of our roles as idols
    for our next performance.
[19:34] Kotori
    And if you know any
    good dance moves...
[19:37] Honoka
    We hope you'll assign us
    parts for our songs, too.
[19:41] Nico
    You think you can beat me with this?
[19:44] Honoka
    Beat you? I'm just asking
    you for advice...
[19:49] Honoka
    On the next song of Otonokizaka's
    Idol Study Club's
[19:51] Honoka
    seven-member group, μ's.
[19:55] Nico
    Seven?
[20:10] Honoka
    Nico-senpai.
[20:15] Nico
    It's not easy.
[20:17] Honoka
    We know the road to becoming
    an idol isn't easy!
[20:21] Nico
    No, you don't!
[20:22] Nico
    You're naïve! So are you! And you!
[20:25] Nico
    You girls, too!
[20:27] Nico
    Listen up. Being an idol
    isn't about smiling.
[20:31] Nico
    It's about making others smile!
[20:34] Nico
    Make sure you're aware of that!

    Idols have to be idols from head to toe.

    I'm glad it worked.
[21:10] Honoka
    Yeah.
[21:11] Umi
    But did that really happen?
[21:13] ---
    Don't ever let your guard down.
[21:14] Kotori
    It did. Back then, Honoka-chan...
[21:21] Honoka
    Found you!
[21:26] Honoka
    You're "it" next!
[21:28] Umi

    We're just getting started.
[22:06] Honoka
    Nico-senpai, go ahead!
[22:10] Nico
    All right! Let's take

    A small wish creates tomorrow

    It might be possible if

    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

    You're the one next to me
