**[00:00] All**
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!

The rain has stopped.
**[20:58] Nico**
Listen up!
**[20:59] Nico**
Now that we've decided to do this,
put your souls into becoming an idol!
**[21:03] Nico**
Got it?
**[21:04] All**
Yes!
**[21:05] Nico**
I can't hear you!
**[21:07] All**
Yes!
**[21:07] ---**
Listen up!
**[21:08] ---**
Idols have to be idols from head to toe.
**[21:09] Kotori**
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**
What?
**[21:30] Honoka**
Let's play together!
**[21:35] Nico**
Nico-Nico-Ni! Okay.
**[21:38] All**
Nico-Nico-Ni!
**[21:39] Nico**
Terrible, one more time.
**[21:41] Nozomi**
Nico-cchi.
**[21:43] Nico**
Nico-Nico-Ni! Okay.
**[21:45] All**
Nico-Nico-Ni!
**[21:47] Nico**
You, with the slanted eyes!
Put more energy into it!
**[21:49] Maki**
My name's Maki!
**[21:50] All**
Nico-Nico-Ni!
**[21:53] Nico**
Okay, one more time.
**[21:55] All**
Nico-Nico-Ni!
**[21:59] Nico**
No good. Do it thirty more times!
**[22:01] Rin**
What?
**[22:03] Honoka**
Why are you complaining?
We're just getting started.
**[22:06] Honoka**
Nico-senpai, go ahead!
**[22:10] Nico**
All right! Let's take
it from the top!
**[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
**[23:36] Rin**
