**[00:00] All**
Previously on *Love Live!*
**[00:01] Rin**
We were interviewed for the
filming of a club video.
**[00:05] Honoka**
It's too honest!
**[00:07] Umi**
This is an invasion of privacy!
**[00:09] Rin**
A new problem appeared.
**[00:11] Nico**
Who should be our leader?
**[00:13] Nico**
In our next PV, our new
leader will be the center.
**[00:16] Rin**
We competed in all sorts of ways,
but we still couldn't choose a leader.
**[00:20] Honoka**
Maybe we don't need a leader.
**[00:23] Umi**
It's already been decided.
**[00:24] Honoka**
Let's get started!
**[00:26] Rin**
Then, there was an emergency.
**[00:30] Hanayo**
It's an emergency!
**[00:31] Honoka**
Huh?
**[00:32] Hanayo**
The Love Live!
**[00:33] Hanayo**
There's going to be a Love Live!
**[00:36] Honoka**
A Love Live!
**[00:39] Honoka**
What's that?
**[00:52] ---**
Our honest feelings
bring us together
**[00:57] ---**
You may not be the best even though
you're serious and there may be conflicts
**[01:02] ---**
Despite that we want
to dream the big dream
**[01:07] ---**
That's right here and
it's beginning now
**[01:11] ---**
(We know)
**[01:12] ---**
That it's not just going to be fun.
There will be trials, too
**[01:16] ---**
(We know)
**[01:17] ---**
That those hardships
are part of our future
**[01:21] ---**
(We're going)
**[01:22] ---**
If we come together,
we'll all become stronger
**[01:26] ---**
(For sure) We'll keep
changing (We'll be star!)
**[01:31] ---**
If we can all do our
best with what we love
**[01:36] ---**
The new (place) is our goal
**[01:41] ---**
If we can all believe
in what we love
**[01:46] ---**
We can (embrace) the
flutters and move forward
**[01:51] ---**
(Throw away your fear)
with the best smile
**[01:56] ---**
(Fly higher and higher) We are
now waiting in the shining light

**[02:11] Hanayo**
It's the Super Bowl of School Idols.
**[02:13] Hanayo**
It's the Love Live.
**[02:14] Hanayo**
The top 20 School Idols who enter will perform.
**[02:20] Hanayo**
The event determines
who is number one.
**[02:22] Hanayo**
I had heard rumors, but to think
it's actually happening...
**[02:27] Honoka**
Really?
**[02:28] Umi**
School Idols are popular
throughout the country.
**[02:31] Rin**
There's no way people
wouldn't get excited.
**[02:34] Hanayo**
Of the current top 20
School Idol groups,
**[02:37] Hanayo**
first place A-RISE will obviously
perform, but second and third...
**[02:42] Hanayo**
Th-This event is like a dream.
**[02:44] Hanayo**
I wonder when tickets go on sale.
**[02:47] Hanayo**
When will it start?
**[02:49] Honoka**
Hanayo-chan, you're going to go see it?
**[02:52] Hanayo**
Of course I am!
**[02:53] Hanayo**
This is the greatest
event in idol history!
**[02:56] Nanayo**
I can't miss it.
**[02:58] Maki**
She's like a different person
when it comes to idols.
**[03:01] Rin**
I like her this way, too.
**[03:03] Honoka**
Oh, I totally thought
you were going to say
**[03:06] Honoka**
we should try to perform
in the concert.
**[03:11] Hanayo**
I-It would be amazing
if we could perform.
**[03:14] Maki**
She's too different.
**[03:16] Rin**
I like her this way, too.
**[03:18] Kotori**
But we're School Idols.
**[03:21] Kotori**
It might not be a bad idea to try.
**[03:23] Honoka**
You mean we've got to try!
**[03:25] Maki**
Life's not that easy.
**[03:28] Umi**
You're right.
**[03:30] Umi**
When I checked last week, we weren't
anywhere close to being able to perform.
**[03:38] Umi**
Honoka, Kotori!
**[03:41] Honoka**
That's amazing!
**[03:42] Kotori**
Our rank has risen!
**[03:43] Maki**
You're kidding!
**[03:44] Rin**
Really?
**[03:47] Kotori**
We're even being called a rapidly
rising School Idol group.
**[03:51] Honoka**
You're right. Look at the comments.
**[03:54] Honoka**
"Your new song was awesome."
**[03:56] Honoka**
"You have seven members now."
**[03:57] Honoka**
"I love how I can tell
how hard you're working."
**[04:02] Rin**
Could we be popular?
**[04:04] Maki**
This explains it.
**[04:05] Rin**
What?
**[04:06] Maki**
Recently...
**[04:08] Girl**
Um, could we get a picture?
**[04:11] Maki**
What? Uh...
**[04:14] Girl**
What?
**[04:22] Kotori**
Someone was waiting for you?
**[04:23] Honoka**
You're kidding.
That hasn't happened to me.
**[04:25] Hanayo**
It happens.
**[04:27] Hanayo**
Idols live in a harsh,
stratified world.
**[04:32] Rin**
But you must've changed a lot if you're
willing to let people take your picture.
**[04:35] Maki**
I-I'm not...
**[04:38] Rin**
You're blushing.
**[04:42] Rin**
That hurt!
**[04:45] Maki**
It's your own fault.
**[04:49] Nico**
Listen up, everyone!
**[04:50] Nico**
Big news!
**[04:52] Honoka**
Nico-senpai.
**[04:55] Nico**
Try not to be too surprised.
**[04:57] Nico**
This summer, it's finally happening.
**[05:01] Nico**
The School Idol festival!
**[05:03] Kotori**
You mean the Love Live?
**[05:07] Nico**
You know about that?
**[05:11] Maki**
We already know the answer.
**[05:14] Rin**
You'll never receive
permission from the school.
**[05:18] Honoka**
You're right.
**[05:19] Honoka**
But I'm pretty sure this would
bring more students to our school.
**[05:24] Nico**
That doesn't matter to the
student council president.
**[05:28] Nico**
She hates us.
**[05:30] Hanayo**
Why us?
**[05:32] Nico**
Because...
**[05:34] Nico**
Maybe she's afraid I'll become
more popular than her!
**[05:38] Maki**
That's definitely not it.
**[05:39] Nico**
That was quick!
**[05:42] Maki**
Why don't we just enter
without getting permission?
**[05:47] Hanayo**
We can't do that.
**[05:48] Hanayo**
Receiving your school's permission
**[05:49] Hanayo**
is clearly one of the
requirements for entering.
**[05:52] Maki**
Then, why don't we ask
the Director directly?
**[05:55] Honoka**
What? Can we do that?
**[05:58] Umi**
Generally, clubs are expected to make
their requests to the student council...
**[06:03] Umi**
But it's not as though going
directly to the Director is forbidden.
**[06:07] Maki**
See? We'll work something out.
**[06:10] Maki**
After all, we're a "shoe in."
**[06:18] Honoka**
Now, I'm even more nervous.
**[06:21] Maki**
Is this really the time for that?
**[06:23] Honoka**
I know.
**[06:28] Nozomi**
What are you all doing here?
**[06:31] Honoka**
Student Council President!
**[06:32] Nico**
What terrible timing.
**[06:34] Eli**
What do you want?
**[06:37] Maki**
We're here to talk to the Director.
**[06:41] Eli**
All club requests must go
through the student council
**[06:44] Eli**
if they wish to speak
with the Director.
**[06:45] Maki**
I didn't say anything
about a request.
**[06:48] Maki**
I just said we wanted
to talk to her.
**[06:49] Honoka**
Maki-chan, she's your senior.
**[06:58] Director**
What is it?
**[07:03] Director**
I see.
**[07:04] Director**
The Love Live.
**[07:07] Honoka**
Yes. It will be broadcast
nationally over the internet.
**[07:11] Kotori**
We believe people will learn about
our school if we can perform.
**[07:16] Eli**
I'm opposed.
**[07:18] Eli**
The Director has stated
we must not sacrifice
**[07:22] Eli**
school life for the
sake of the school.
**[07:24] Eli**
In that case...
**[07:26] Director**
You're right.
**[07:27] Director**
But why not let them enter?
**[07:30] Honoka**
Are you serious?
**[07:32] Director**
Yes.
**[07:32] Eli**
Wait a minute.
**[07:34] Eli**
Why are you siding with them?
**[07:37] Director**
I'm not siding with anyone.
**[07:40] Eli**
Then, please allow the student
council try to preserve the school.
**[07:45] Director**
You can't do that.
**[07:46] Eli**
I don't understand.
**[07:48] Director**
Really? It's simple.
**[07:54] Nozomi**
Eli-chi.
**[08:01] Nico**
Take that.
**[08:03] Director**
However, I have one condition.
**[08:06] Director**
You must not neglect your studies.
**[08:09] Director**
If a single one of you fails
the upcoming final exams,
**[08:13] Director**
I will not allow you
to enter the Love Live.
**[08:15] Director**
Understood?
**[08:17] Honoka**
What?!
**[08:20] Kotori**
Well, I don't think
any of us will fail...
**[08:26] Kotori**
What?
**[08:28] Honoka**
I'm so sorry.
**[08:30] Rin**
So sorry.
**[08:31] Umi**
I've known since elementary
school, Honoka, but...
**[08:35] Honoka**
It's just math.
**[08:36] Honoka**
Come on, you know I've been
terrible at math since elementary school.
**[08:39] Hanayo**
Seven times four...
**[08:41] Honoka**
26?
**[08:44] Umi**
This is a serious blow.
**[08:47] Hanayo**
What about you, Rin-chan?
**[08:48] Rin**
English! Me and English
just don't get along!
**[08:52] Hanayo**
I-It is hard.
**[08:55] Rin**
I know!
**[08:56] Rin**
We're Japanese! Why do we have
to study a foreign language, anyway?
**[09:01] Maki**
Quit complaining!
**[09:03] Rin**
Maki-chan is scary.
**[09:05] Maki**
It'd be embarrassing
if we couldn't enter
**[09:08] Maki**
because your test
scores were too low.
**[09:10] Rin**
You're right.
**[09:12] Maki**
And we finally beat the student
council president, too.
**[09:15] Nico**
Exactly.
**[09:18] Nico**
W-We can't fail our tests.
**[09:22] Kotori**
Nico-senpai, what are
your grades like?
**[09:25] Nico**
N-N-Nico?
**[09:28] Nico**
There's no way N-N-Nico-Nico-Ni
would fail.
**[09:34] Umi**
You're too shaken.
**[09:36] Umi**
Anyway, Kotori and
I will help Honoka,
**[09:40] Umi**
and Hanayo and Maki will help
Rin study until the exams.
**[09:42] Umi**
We'll do what we can
to improve their weak subjects.
**[09:46] Maki**
Yeah, sure...
**[09:49] Maki**
But what about Nico-senpai?
**[09:50] Nico**
What? I told you, I...
**[09:53] Nozomi**
I'll handle that.
**[09:56] Nico**
Nozomi?
**[09:58] Honoka**
Are you sure?
**[09:59] Nico**
I told you. You don't need
to worry about me failing.
**[10:04] Nozomi**
If you lie, I'll squeeze you.
**[10:07] Nico**
Fine. Please teach me.
**[10:09] Nozomi**
Very good.
**[10:11] Honoka**
Okay, now we're all ready!
**[10:13] Honoka**
Let's start tomorrow!
**[10:14] Rin**
Yeah!
**[10:15] Umi**
We'll start today.
**[10:30] Eli**
Hello?
**[10:33] Rin**
Is it going to be
like this every day?
**[10:36] Maki**
Of course.
**[10:39] Rin**
White rice!
**[10:40] Hanayo**
What?
**[10:43] Maki**
Did you think we'd fall for that?
**[10:45] Hanayo**
Where? Where is it?
**[10:48] Honoka**
Kotori-chan.
**[10:49] Kotori**
What? There's only one
problem left. You can...
**[10:52] Honoka**
Good night.
**[10:53] Kotori**
Honoka-chan?
**[10:54] Kotori**
Honoka-chan!
**[10:56] Umi**
I don't believe this.
**[10:58] Umi**
Kotori, the rest is up to you.
**[11:00] Umi**
I have to go to archery practice.
**[11:03] Kotori**
Okay.
**[11:04] Kotori**
Come on, wake up.
**[11:06] Nico**
I-I get it, I get it.
***SIGN*** High School Math II
**[11:09] Nozomi**
Okay, what is the answer
to the next question?
**[11:13] Nico**
Uh, um...
**[11:14] Nico**
N-Nico-Nico-Ni?
**[11:18] Nico**
Please, stop... stop...
**[11:21] Nico**
Not my breasts!
**[11:21] Kotori**
Honoka-chan, please wake up!
**[11:24] Nozomi**
If you don't take this seriously,
I'll squeeze them even more next time.
**[11:27] Nico**
I understand, I understand!
**[11:30] Nozomi**
Are you sure you do?
**[11:30] Umi**
Are they really going
to learn like this?
**[11:37] Girl**
See you later.
**[11:38] Umi**
Take care.
**[11:43] Umi**
This song...
**[12:04] Umi**
We didn't upload this
footage to our web site.
**[12:08] Umi**
I'm sorry!
**[12:11] Arisa**
You're Sonoda Umi-san, right?
From μ's?
**[12:15] Umi**
Um, no. You must be mistaken.
**[12:19] Arisa**
What?
**[12:21] Umi**
No, it is me.
**[12:23] Arisa**
I knew it.
**[12:26] Umi**
Anyway, that video...
**[12:28] Arisa**
It's a video of your concert.
**[12:31] Arisa**
I didn't go, but my
sister filmed it.
**[12:35] Umi**
Your sister?
**[12:36] Arisa**
Yes.
**[12:38] Eli**
Alisa.
**[12:41] Arisa**
Onee-chan!
**[12:47] Eli**
You...
**[12:49] Umi**
Student Council President...
**[12:57] All**
Love Live!
**[13:03] Arisa**
Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[13:06] Umi**
Thank you.
***SIGN*** Hot Pot
**[13:09] Umi**
Hot pot?
**[13:11] Eli**
I'm sorry.
**[13:12] Eli**
We lived abroad for so long,
**[13:14] Eli**
there are some things about
Japan we're not used to yet.
**[13:17] Umi**
Abroad?
**[13:18] Eli**
Yes. My grandmother is Russian.
**[13:21] Eli**
Alisa, that's not a beverage.
**[13:23] Arisa**
What? Khorosho.
**[13:26] Eli**
Could you go buy something else?
**[13:28] Arisa**
Okay.
**[13:31] Eli**
I didn't expect you to discover me.
**[13:35] Umi**
I had been talking to Honoka
and the others about it.
**[13:38] Umi**
We were wondering who had filmed and
uploaded our concert to the web.
**[13:42] Umi**
But I never would have
guessed it was you.
**[13:46] Umi**
If not for that video,
I doubt we would be doing this.
**[13:51] Umi**
Because of that video, more people
have been watching us. So, I...
**[13:55] Eli**
Stop.
**[13:56] Umi**
What?
**[13:57] Eli**
I didn't do it for you.
**[14:01] Eli**
If anything, it was the opposite.
**[14:02] Eli**
I wanted to show you just how bad
your singing and dancing was.
**[14:07] Eli**
I wanted to show you there was
no reason for you to continue.
**[14:12] Eli**
That's why this situation
is so unexpected.
**[14:16] Eli**
You should have disbanded,
but you gained members.
**[14:19] Eli**
I won't accept this.
**[14:22] Eli**
I don't believe you're
good enough to perform.
**[14:25] Eli**
I don't want you to continue in the
school's name in that condition.
**[14:31] Eli**
That's all I wanted to say.
**[14:34] Umi**
Wait.
**[14:36] Umi**
If we succeed...
**[14:40] Umi**
If we get good enough to draw
people to the school, will you accept us?
**[14:48] Eli**
It's impossible.
**[14:49] Umi**
Why?
**[14:51] Eli**
Because all School Idols
look like amateurs to me.
**[14:56] Eli**
Even the best group, A-RISE,
just looks like amateurs.
**[15:04] Umi**
But...
**[15:07] Arisa**
Onee-chan, sorry.
**[15:09] Eli**
We're done talking. It's fine.
**[15:11] Arisa**
What?
**[15:14] Umi**
You...
**[15:16] Umi**
You shouldn't speak of us that way!
**[15:25] Arisa**
Do you want something to drink?
***SIGN*** Red Bean Soup
**[15:33] Arisa**
Um, I...
**[15:35] Arisa**
I love μ's and all its members.
**[15:48] Arisa**
I said it.
**[15:49] Eli**
Huh?
**[15:50] Arisa**
If I go to Otonokizaka
High next year...
**[15:54] Eli**
What?
**[15:55] Arisa**
Nothing.
**[16:00] Arisa**
Khorosho.
**[16:02] Eli**
What?
**[16:03] Arisa**
Oden isn't a beverage?
**[16:05] Eli**
No, it's a food.
**[16:07] Arisa**
Even though curry is a beverage?
**[16:09] Eli**
That's not a beverage, either.
**[16:11] Arisa**
But they said it was on TV.
**[16:13] Eli**
Really?
**[16:15] Nico**
Nico-Nico-Ni.
**[16:16] Nozomi**
I told you, if you don't
take this seriously,
**[16:19] Nozomi**
I'll squeeze you even
harder next time.
**[16:21] Nico**
Wait, no!
**[16:22] Nico**
It's not that I'm not
taking it seriously!
**[16:24] Nico**
Doing this helps me
think of the answer!
**[16:26] Nozomi**
Really?
**[16:27] Nico**
Y-Yeah! Haven't you heard changing
your character revitalizes your brain?
**[16:31] Nico**
I'm Nico. Okay, maybe I'll
solve these problems today.
**[16:35] Nico**
Let's see, you substitute
this here, and...
**[16:39] Nozomi**
And?
**[16:40] Nico**
Um, then... it's like this, so...
**[16:44] Nico**
I don't know.
**[16:46] Nozomi**
You must be punished.
**[16:48] Nico**
No, no!
**[16:52] Umi**
There's something I want to ask you.
**[16:57] Nozomi**
I see.
**[16:59] Nozomi**
That's what Eli-chi told you.
**[17:01] Umi**
Yes. Calling A-RISE's dancing and
singing amateur is just too much...
**[17:08] Nozomi**
It doesn't surprise me
Eli-chi would say that.
**[17:11] Nozomi**
Eli-chi is good enough to say that.
**[17:15] Umi**
What do you mean?
**[17:18] Nozomi**
Do you want to know?
**[17:24] Honoka**
The sun's blazing.
**[17:26] Rin**
It's summer.
**[17:28] Nico**
Okay, let's keep going
until we can't go anymore!
**[17:32] Nozomi**
What are you doing?
**[17:34] Nozomi**
Didn't you promise to
study inside during lunch?
**[17:38] Honoka**
W-We know! We know, but...
**[17:42] Rin**
We thought getting some exercise
would be good for our brains!
**[17:46] Nico**
Th-They just invited me along!
**[17:49] Honoka**
You liar, you were the
one who invited us!
**[17:51] Rin**
Yeah, you said you couldn't be an idol
if you were afraid of Nozomi-senpai!
**[17:57] Nico**
D-Don't make up stuff!
**[17:58] Nozomi**
I see.
**[18:00] Nozomi**
Well, it doesn't matter who it was.
**[18:02] Nozomi**
I'm going to punish all of you.
**[18:09] Honoka**
You're kidding.
**[18:10] Honoka**
No!
**[18:11] Nozomi**
Honoka-chin, not bad.
**[18:13] Rin**
Nozomi-senpai, are you having fun?!
**[18:38] Nozomi**
Now, then. Let's go back inside.
**[18:43] Nozomi**
Maybe the shock was
too much for her.
**[18:49] Nozomi**
This is what you'll be doing today.
**[18:51] All**
She's evil.
**[18:52] Nozomi**
What? Does someone need
to be squeezed some more?
**[18:55] All**
Of course not!
**[18:58] Umi**
Kotori, help Honoka study.
**[19:01] Kotori**
What? Okay...
**[19:06] Maki**
What's wrong with Umi-senpai?
**[19:08] Kotori**
Who knows?
**[19:13] Nozomi**
Don't you think there's
a proper order to this?
**[19:15] Umi**
Nozomi-senpai.
**[19:17] Nozomi**
Eli-chi's dancing must
have shocked you.
**[19:25] Umi**
It made me wonder what it is
we've been doing until now.
**[19:30] Umi**
I hate to admit it,
but I can understand why
**[19:33] Umi**
the student council president
said what she did.
**[19:35] Nozomi**
Is that why you wanted to apologize?
**[19:38] Umi**
No.
**[19:40] Umi**
I want her to teach us to dance.
**[19:45] Umi**
If we could dance half as well as her,
we could actually attract people.
**[19:55] Nozomi**
It's just as I thought.
**[19:58] Nozomi**
I thought you might say that.
**[20:00] Umi**
Nozomi-senpai.
**[20:02] Nozomi**
But in that case, isn't there
something you need to do first?
**[20:06] Nozomi**
There are only five days
left until the exams.
**[20:12] Umi**
Honoka!
**[20:15] Honoka**
Oh, Umi-chan...
**[20:17] Umi**
Starting today, I will
be staying at your house!
**[20:20] Honoka**
What?
**[20:21] Umi**
We're going to study!
**[20:23] Honoka**
Evil.
**[20:26] Eli**
Yes. I'm doing fine, Grandmother.
**[20:33] Eli**
Of course. You graduated
from this school.
**[20:37] Eli**
I will protect it.
**[20:41] Eli**
Yes, good night.
**[21:00] Maki**
How did it go?
**[21:01] Umi**
You should have received your
results for all subjects today.
**[21:05] Kotori**
Honoka-chan!
**[21:07] Honoka**
Yeah...
**[21:08] Rin**
I'm safe.
**[21:10] Nico**
You didn't make all our hard
work for nothing, did you?
**[21:14] All**
How did you do?!
**[21:18] Honoka**
I wish I had done a little better...
**[21:20] Honoka**
Ta-da!
**[21:25] Honoka**
Okay, let's start practicing today!
**[21:29] Hanayo**
The L-Love Live.
**[21:30] Maki**
We merely have permission to apply.
**[21:33] Hanayo**
I know, but...
**[21:44] Honoka**
Huh?
**[21:47] Eli**
You can't do this!
Explain this to me!
**[21:50] Director**
I'm sorry.
It's already been decided.
**[21:55] Director**
Starting next year, Otonokizaka
High will stop accepting students...
**[21:59] Director**
And will be closed.
**[22:11] Honoka**
Closed...
**[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] Nozomi**
