[00:02] Honoka
    A Halloween event?
[00:04] Eli
    Yes. You all know what
    Halloween is, don't you?
[00:07] Hanayo
    That holiday with the pumpkin
    decorations like they have here?
[00:10] Eli
    That's right.
[00:11] Eli
    There's going to be a Halloween
    street event in Akiba this year.
[00:16] Eli
    The local School Idol groups A-RISE
    and µ's have been asked to perform.
[00:21] Honoka
    Really? It's amazing what we're getting to do
[00:25] Honoka
    since we made it through the preliminaries.
[00:27] Maki
    Do we have to sing for that?
[00:29] Nozomi
    Seems like it.
[00:30] Maki
    I'm grateful for the opportunity,
    but should we be doing
[00:33] Maki
    things like this and the
    fashion show the other day?
[00:35] Maki
    The final preliminaries are coming up.
[00:37] Nico
    Yeah.
[00:38] Nico
    Isn't our goal to win the Love Live?
[00:41] Eli
    Yes, but we need to take
    these small steps, too.
[00:46] Eli
    The event's going to be
    covered by a TV station.
[00:49] Nico
    TV?!
[00:50] Maki
    You changed your tune quickly.
[00:52] Hanayo
    If we're performing with A-RISE,
    everyone's attention will be on us.
[00:55] Hanayo
    I'm so nervous.
[00:57] Rin
    But it's a great opportunity to gain exposure.
[01:00] Nico
    That's right.
[01:01] Nico
    We'll burn our existence
    into the audience's brains with
[01:04] Nico
    a performance stronger
    and more impactful than A-RISE's!
[01:09] Honoka
    Maki-chan, we need to focus on impact now!
[01:13] Maki
    By the way, Honoka...
[01:17] Maki
    Should you be here?
[01:19] Hanayo
    What about your student
    council president duties?
[01:24] Umi
    How do you do?
[01:26] Kotori
    W-We've been looking for you.
[01:29] Umi
    Really? We need to focus on impact, do we?
[01:36] Honoka
    This isn't the kind of impact I wanted.
SIGN    Come on... Our courage makes our dreams come true

SIGN    # 6 "Happy Halloween"
[03:11] Honoka
    Impact, huh?
[03:13] Kotori
    But this isn't a competition, right?
[03:16] Kotori
    We won't be compared.
[03:18] Kotori
    You don't need to worry about it.
[03:20] Honoka
    You're right.
[03:21] Nico
    What are you talking about?
[03:23] Nico
    The battle has already begun!
[03:24] Maki
    Nico-chan's right.
[03:27] Maki
    There's no score or rank,
    but people will pay more attention
[03:29] Maki
    to the group that creates
    a stronger impression.
[03:33] Maki
    They'll remember them, too.
[03:35] Honoka
    I see.
[03:36] Kotori
    Yes, yes.
[03:37] Nico
    In other words, it'll help us
    in the final preliminaries!
[03:40] Maki
    That's right.
[03:41] Eli
    On top of that, A-RISE has won before.
[03:44] Eli
    They have a much stronger
    impression than we do.
[03:47] Eli
    And we have important things to discuss...
[03:51] Eli
    What do you think you're doing?
[03:53] Honoka
    I-I thought it'd put us
    in the mood for Halloween.
[03:55] Kotori
    Trick or treat.
[03:59] Eli
    Even if we do the same thing,
[04:01] Eli
    they'll have an advantage
    as the previous winners.
[04:04] Eli
    A-RISE is sure to be covered
    by the media first.
[04:07] Kotori
    Are you saying we have a disadvantage?
[04:10] Eli
    That's what that means.
[04:12] Eli
    That's why we have to put on
    an impressive performance to close
[04:15] Eli
    the gap before the final preliminaries.
[04:18] Maki
    In other words, this will be a prelude.
[04:21] Eli
    How cute.
[04:22] Maki
    What?
[04:23] Honoka
    A prelude.
[04:24] Kotori
    But creating a stronger
    impression than A-RISE...
[04:28] Honoka
    How can we do that?
[04:29] Nico
    I've told you plenty of times.
[04:33] Nico
    The most important thing is having impact!
[04:36] Reporter
    And so, the Akiba Halloween
    Festival began today!
[04:42] Reporter
    Those of you watching this broadcast,
    are you cutting loose?
[04:45] Honoka
    She has more impact than us.
[04:49] Rin
    She's definitely cutting loose.
[04:51] Reporter
    As you can see, the event is in full swing.
[04:54] Reporter
    Lots of people are having fun getting in costume.
[04:57] Reporter
    You can still make it in time.
[04:59] Reporter
    And would you believe it?
[05:00] Reporter
    On the final day, School Idols
    will put on a live concert!
[05:05] Reporter
    Yahoo! Are you girls cutting loose?
[05:07] Honoka
    Uh, yeah.
[05:08] Reporter
    Show us your enthusiasm for the concert.
[05:10] Honoka
    We'll do our best.
[05:13] Reporter
    All right. Let's hear what
    you have to say, too.
[05:16] Rin
    We'll do our best at the concert.
[05:17] Reporter
    How cute!
[05:19] Nico
    Me, too. Nico-Nico—
[05:21] Reporter
    This has been Otonokizaka
    High's School Idol group.
[05:25] Reporter
    And would you believe it?
[05:28] Reporter
    A-RISE is participating in the concert, too!
[05:32] Tsubasa
    a6\i1}Every day, we try new things,
    so we can continue evolving.
[05:38] Tsubasa
    a6\i1}We'd like to shatter our image
    in a good way at this Halloween event.
[05:47] Tsubasa
    a6\i1}Happy Halloween!*
[05:53] Reporter
    What was that about?
[05:55] Reporter
    I wouldn't expect less from A-RISE!
[05:56] Reporter
    They always bring the impact!
[05:59] Reporter
    You won't be able to take your
    eyes off this Halloween event!
[06:10] Nico
    Sheesh.
[06:11] Nico
    A-RISE completely stole the show.
[06:13] Honoka
    It's your fault for doing your Nico-Ni.
[06:16] Nico
    I didn't even get to do it!
[06:17] Rin
    Yeah.
[06:20] Nico
    In any case, this is a problem.
[06:21] Nico
    If we don't take this Halloween event,
[06:24] Nico
    we'll have trouble winning
    the final preliminaries.
[06:27] Nico
    You saw how excited the guests were.
[06:30] Honoka
    You're right.
[06:31] Rin
    Yeah, I know.
[06:33] Nico
    Despite their track record,
    they keep working to improve.
[06:37] Rin
    Yeah, yeah.
[06:38] Honoka
    It's no wonder they won.
[06:41] Rin
    Yep, yep.
[06:42] Nico
    But it's over if you let that impress you!
[06:44] Rin
    I know!
[06:47] Nico
    What are you reading?
[06:51] Honoka
    Impact, impact...
[06:53] Umi
    I don't think it's possible for
    us to suddenly change our style.
[06:57] Honoka
    We don't have enough impact right now!
[07:00] Kotori
    But impact comes from doing
    new things, doesn't it?
[07:06] Honoka
    New things, huh?
[07:10] Umi
    In that case, maybe we should
    start by changing this atmosphere.
[07:16] Kotori
    Atmosphere?
[07:17] Umi
    Lately, I've been thinking.
[07:19] Umi
    I think we feel secure because it's been
[07:21] Umi
    a while since our group formed,
[07:23] Umi
    and we've grown a little lazy.
[07:26] Honoka
    You think so?
[07:28] Kotori
    I think everyone's excited with
    the final preliminaries coming up.
[07:32] Umi
    Where has a certain someone
    been instead of performing
[07:35] Umi
    her student council duties?
[07:38] Umi
    That's what I'm talking about.
[07:41] Umi
    If we're going to do this, we have to change.
[07:44] Kotori
    Change how, though?
[07:47] Umi
    Well, for example...
[07:51] Honoka
    The ace of returning your feelings!
[07:53] Honoka
    I'm Honoka Kosaka!
[07:55] Maki
    Driving you crazy with
    my ribbon of temptation!
[07:58] Maki
    I'm Maki Nishikino!
[08:00] Hanayo
    Don't peel me! I'm not ripe yet!
[08:03] Hanayo
    I'm Hanayo Koizumi!
[08:06] Nozomi
    I'm the spiritual witch
    of the East, Nozomi Tojo!
[08:09] Umi
    Less than the chemical formula of love.
[08:11] Umi
    I'm Umi Sonoda!
[08:13] Kotori
    I'll cover you in heart-shaped
    marks with my shots.
[08:16] Kotori
    I'm Kotori Minami!
[08:17] Rin
    Cute splash!
[08:19] Rin
    I'm Rin Hoshizora!
[08:21] Eli
    Deadly pink pom-poms!
[08:23] Eli
    I'm Eli Ayase!
[08:25] Nico
    And then there's me,
    the immobile center, Nico-Nico Yazawa!
[08:29] All
    We are the club idol group µ's!
[08:40] Nico
    You can't see my face!
[08:43] Nozomi
    But it's new and refreshing.
[08:45] Honoka
    Yeah.
[08:46] Eli
    Considering we're School Idols,
[08:48] Eli
    it's not a bad idea for us
    to wear all kinds of club outfits.
[08:52] Honoka
    Yeah.
[08:53] Hanayo
    But it seems like...
[08:56] Nico
    We're just messing around.
[08:57] Rin
    Swim.
[08:57] Honoka
    That's not true.
[08:59] Honoka
    Let's do it again.
[09:00] Rin
    Swim.
[09:01] Umi
    Can I ask you something?
[09:02] Rin
    Swim, swim.
[09:05] Umi
    What club is my outfit
    supposed to represent?
[09:08] Honoka
    The science club.
[09:10] Umi
    What about Hanayo's outfit?
[09:12] Honoka
    The acting club, probably.
[09:13] Maki
    We can't go onstage like this.
[09:18] Eli
    You're right.
[09:20] Nico
    What's new about this?
[09:24] Umi
    I'm sorry. I was stupid to suggest it.
[09:28] Nozomi
    But it was kind of fun.
[09:29] Nico
    This isn't the time for that!
[09:32] Nico
    While we're doing this,
    A-RISE is evolving every day!
[09:36] Honoka
    You're right.
[09:39] Honoka
    Something new, something new...
[09:41] Kotori
    Isn't a new appearance most obvious?
[09:45] Eli
    Are you saying we should
    wear unconventional outfits?
[09:49] Umi
    That's certainly the quickest way.
[09:54] Umi
    But we just tried that.
[09:58] Nozomi
    It seems we'll have to see
    what the cards have to say.
[10:07] Umi
    Nozomi?
[10:17] All
    Love Live!
[10:21] Honoka
    Good morning.
[10:24] Honoka
    How do you do?
[10:25] Kotori
    Umi, khorosho.
[10:27] Umi
    Eli, you're early.
[10:30] All
    You, too, Rin.
[10:36] Umi
    I can't!
[10:37] Honoka
    No, Umi. You have to be Rin.
[10:42] Honoka
    You're the one who suggested
    we change the atmosphere.
[10:46] Honoka
    Come on, Rin.
[10:52] Umi
    Come on! Let's practice again today!
[10:55] Rin
    What is that? It doesn't make any sense.
[10:57] Honoka
    Maki, don't talk like that.
[11:00] Rin
    So annoying.
[11:01] Maki
    Hey, Rin!
[11:03] Maki
    You're copying me, aren't you? Stop that.
[11:05] Rin
    I refuse.
[11:07] Honoka
    Good morning, Nozomi.
[11:11] Umi
    It's not fair if you don't talk.
[11:13] Kotori
    That's right. We all decided to do this.
[11:16] Maki
    I-I don't...
[11:19] Maki
    ...remember agreeing to this.
[11:20] Honoka
    Nozomi, that's amazing.
[11:25] Hanayo
    Nico-Nico-Ni!
[11:27] Hanayo
    Nico-Nico-Ni, your heart!
[11:30] Hanayo
    Nico-Nico Yazawa here,
    bringing you smiles!
[11:32] Hanayo
    Even the blue sky is Nico!
[11:34] Kotori
    Khorosho. Nico's more
    Nico-like than I expected.
[11:38] Hanayo
    Nico!
[11:40] Nico
    Nico-chan, Nico isn't like that.
[11:43] Honoka
    Kotori.
[11:45] Nozomi
    Today's bread is delicious again.
[11:47] Kotori
    Honoka, you're late again.
[11:49] Nozomi
    Sorry.
[11:50] Honoka
    Is this what I'm like?
[11:52] Kotori
    Yes.
[11:54] Eli
    It's an emergency!
[11:56] Honoka
    What's wrong?
[12:02] Eli
    E-Everyone is...
[12:06] Eli
    Everyone is...
[12:10] Eli
    ...acting weird.
[12:13] Kotori
    You're right.
[12:17] Honoka
    This isn't good.
[12:19] Kotori
    We're just running out of time.
[12:21] Umi
    We failed to change anything.
[12:25] Eli
    I had a thought.
[12:28] Eli
    Why don't we try moving away from idols?
[12:33] Honoka
    You mean not acting like idols?
[12:35] Hanayo
    Like being cool instead?
[12:37] Rin
    Good idea.
[12:39] Kotori
    What feels cool, though?
[12:43] Maki
    Like rock?
[12:45] Nozomi
    Something wilder?
[12:47] Nico
    Doing something new means
    fundamentally changing your image.
[12:52] Nico
    Which means...
[12:55] Maki
    Are we really doing this?
[12:56] Nico
    What are you afraid of now?
[12:59] Eli
    We need to see how people will respond first.
[13:02] Honoka
    Okay, let's go.
[13:10] Honoka
    It's been a while, everyone.
[13:13] Honoka
    We're School Idol group µ's.
[13:17] Honoka
    Today, we're overthrowing
    our image with anarchy and punk.
[13:22] All
    See the new face of µ's!
[13:28] All
    Sensei!
[13:30] Honoka
    This seems to have a huge impact.
[13:33] Rin
    This might work.
[13:35] Announcer
    Members of idol study club, µ's.
[13:37] Announcer
    Please come to the director's
    office immediately.
[13:40] Announcer
    Once again...
[13:45] Director
    Could you explain yourselves?
[13:47] Honoka
    Uh, um...
[13:50] Honoka
    What was it?
[13:51] Umi
    You don't remember?
[13:54] Eli
    Director, it's not what you think!
[13:56] Eli
    We weren't just playing around!
[13:59] Kotori
    It's true.
[14:00] Kotori
    We were discussing ways
    to make it to the Love Live.
[14:06] Umi
    If we let ourselves get stuck
    in what we've been doing,
[14:08] Umi
    we won't be able to produce anything new.
[14:11] Honoka
    That's right! We were being serious!
[14:14] Honoka
    It's unthinkable for you to be angry with us!
[14:16] Rin
    That's right!
[14:19] Honoka
    In any case, I can't accept
    that we're in trouble!
[14:24] Director
    I understand.
[14:25] Director
    You're performing at the final
    preliminaries like that, then?
[14:28] Honoka
    What?
[14:29] Director
    If you are, I'll allow you to
    continue operating in those outfits.
[14:35] Honoka
    Uh...
[14:38] All
    We're sorry!
[14:41] Nico
    How did this happen?!
[14:42] Umi
    That's right.
[14:43] Umi
    I thought we were seriously
    discussing how we could be impactful.
[14:48] Honoka
    It started with you.
[14:50] Honoka
    You said we should try
    dressing like various clubs.
[14:52] Umi
    I...
[14:54] Umi
    But then it was you.
[14:57] Nozomi
    Yes, but...
[14:58] Honoka
    We decided to do it together.
[15:01] Kotori
    Blaming each other won't help anything.
[15:05] Maki
    That's right.
[15:06] Maki
    Maybe we should think of how
    we're actually going to dress.
[15:10] Honoka
    You're right.
[15:14] Honoka
    Kotori-chan?
[15:16] Kotori
    I've been thinking about it,
[15:19] Kotori
    but I want to create something
    that suits everyone.
[15:24] Kotori
    I don't think we should
    focus on impact too much.
[15:27] Nico
    But then we can't beat A-RISE!
[15:41] Hanayo
    What should we do?
[15:43] Eli
    Let's think about it tomorrow.
[15:45] Eli
    In any case, we have to at least
    start working on costumes.
[15:49] Rin
    Huh? Where's Honoka-chan?
[15:56] Umi
    Honoka, we're leaving you.
[15:58] Honoka
    Sorry.
[16:00] Honoka
    Halloween seems different during
    the day and night, doesn't it?
[16:08] Honoka
    It's beautiful.
[16:10] Eli
    Let's go. It's getting late.
[16:13] Honoka
    Okay.
[16:21] Hanayo
    I'm sorry. I made a mistake.
[16:24] Nico
    This doesn't seem right.
[16:27] Nico
    Why are we making costumes?
[16:31] Hanayo
    Everyone else is busy preparing
    in other ways for the concert.
[16:34] Nico
    Yeah, right.
[16:35] Nico
    They just wasted a bunch
    of time on nonsense.
[16:39] Kotori
    I don't think it was that pointless.
[16:42] Nico
    Huh? What wasn't pointless?
[16:44] Kotori
    I had fun.
[16:46] Kotori
    It gave me some ideas for designs.
[16:49] Nico
    They call it costume design,
[16:51] Nico
    but are you sure you're not just
    used to being assigned lame jobs?
[16:56] Kotori
    I have my responsibilities.
[16:59] Kotori
    It's always been this way.
[17:01] Kotori
    I always want to support whatever
[17:04] Kotori
    everyone else decides or wants to do.
[17:06] Kotori
    Sometimes we lose our way,
    but I don't think it's pointless.
[17:14] Kotori
    This is your costume.
[17:18] Kotori
    If we all come together and do our jobs,
[17:19] Kotori
    don't you think there's
    a wonderful future waiting for us?
[17:33] Reporter
    Trick or treat!
[17:35] Reporter
    Yahoo! Are you cutting loose?
[17:37] Reporter
    The Akiba Halloween Festival's been really
[17:40] Reporter
    hyped up for the last few days!
[17:41] Reporter
    Everyone's been coming out
    to turn up the excitement!
[17:44] Reporter
    However, today is the last
    day of the event. Too bad.
[17:47] Reporter
    But don't be sad.
[17:49] Reporter
    Today, you'll get to see
    a special School Idol concert!
[17:53] Reporter
    Don't miss it!
[17:55] Honoka
    The concert's finally here.
[17:56] Honoka
    I'm nervous.
[17:58] Eli
    Let's try to enjoy it.
[18:00] Eli
    Look. Everyone seems to be having fun.
[18:04] Rin
    Look. It's a huge pumpkin.
[18:07] Hanayo
    Yeah.
[18:09] Rin
    It's so big.

    I've never seen one this big!
[18:19] Eli
    What's wrong?
[18:21] Honoka
    Nothing.
[18:23] Honoka
    Hey, Eli-chan.
[18:26] Honoka
    I think we're fine the way we are.
[18:29] Honoka
    We tried renewing ourselves
    since A-RISE is so amazing.
[18:35] Honoka
    But I think we're best the way we are now.
[18:40] Honoka
    After all, everyone's unique.
[18:44] Honoka
    Normal high school students
    hang out with people like themselves,
[18:48] Honoka
    but we're different.
[18:51] Honoka
    We took the time to get to know
    each other and accept each other.
[18:56] Honoka
    That's how we made it this far.
[18:58] Honoka
    Don't you think that's our strongest trait?
[19:02] Honoka
    I like that about µ's.
[19:06] Eli
    So do I.
[19:50] [SONG]
    It's a magical
[19:52] [SONG]
    Is magic inviting coincidences?
[19:57] [SONG]
    We met, we met because
    of a wonderful fate
[20:04] [SONG]
    It's a magical
[20:07] [SONG]
    The shooting stars are on my side
[20:11] [SONG]
    Let's wish, let's wish
    for tomorrow's miracle
[20:18] [SONG]
    Dancing stars on me!
[20:20] [SONG]
    When I reach out my hand
[20:22] [SONG]
    I feel like I'll
    reach them eventually
[20:26] [SONG]
    So for the ends of the
    beautifully shining sky
[20:33] [SONG]
    Let's aim... Let's aim!
[20:36] [SONG]
    Let me dance more, more
[20:40] [SONG]
    No one, no one stops
[20:43] [SONG]
    I'm a magician just for today,
    what kind of dream should I see
[20:50] [SONG]
    Let me dance more, more
[20:54] [SONG]
    No one, no one stops
[20:57] [SONG]
    Tears are the diamonds of youth,
    the lights decorating you
[21:16] Honoka
    All right!
[21:18] Honoka
    We'll win the Love Live no matter what!
[21:22] All
    Yeah!
[21:28] Yukiho
    Sheesh.
[21:31] Yukiho
    They're all out of order.
[21:33] Yukiho
    I wanted to read the rest.
[21:35] Yukiho
    I'm amazed she's the student
    council president like this.
[21:39] Yukiho
    There.
[21:41] Yukiho
    Oh, come on!
[21:45] Yukiho
    I don't believe this.
[21:47] Yukiho
    She's even got documents all over the place.
[21:50] Yukiho
    That's it. I'm going to lecture
    her when she gets home.
[22:13] Yukiho
    I knew it!
