[00:01] Hanayo     The Halloween event was a success. [00:03] Hanayo     As we began working towards the Love Live, [00:05] Hanayo     we discovered something wrong     with Honoka-chan's body. [00:09] Hanayo     And mine. [00:11] Hanayo     Having gained weight,     Honoka-chan and I began dieting. [00:14] Hanayo     Meanwhile, a mistake in the student     council caused more problems. [00:17] Honoka     Shouldn't we handle this ourselves? [00:21] Hanayo     Through the efforts of     Honoka-chan and her friends, [00:23] Hanayo     the student council escaped its predicament. [00:25] Hanayo     Even our diet was successful. [00:26] Hanayo     And the final preliminaries are coming up! [00:30] Announcer     We now present the final group     moving onto the final preliminaries. [00:34] Announcer     Otonokizaka High's School Idol group, µ's! [00:40] Announcer     One of these four groups     will be advancing to the Love Live. [00:45] Announcer     Let's hear what each group hopes to achieve! [00:48] Announcer     Starting with µ's! [00:49] Honoka     Oh, okay! [00:50] Honoka     W-We've always worked towards     winning the Love Live. [00:56] Honoka     So we'll definitely win! [01:03] Honoka     Huh? [01:04] Announcer     A-Amazing! What a sudden     declaration of victory! [01:08] Honoka     What? [01:09] Nico     Idiot. [01:10] Hanayo     She said it. [01:15] Nozomi     Finally... [01:17] Nozomi     We're finally here... SIGN    Come on... Our courage makes our dreams come true SIGN    Let's run toward tomorrow with unbeaten (hearts) SIGN    A strong, strong wish SIGN    Led us along SIGN    We can't give up the next one SIGN    We'll hold on tightly to the time we have remaining SIGN    We don't want only a memory SIGN    We'll run as hard as we can SIGN    (Chance for me! Chance for you!) SIGN    Come on... Embrace your dreams and look up SIGN    Your world will change dramatically SIGN    Come on... Our courage makes our dreams come true SIGN    Let's run towards tomorrow with unbeaten (hearts) SIGN    The miracle that we met here and now SIGN    Don't forget our season [02:51] Nico     Why'd you have to shamelessly     declare we'd win? [02:54] Honoka     I was just so excited... [02:56] Maki     But we actually are trying to win.     What's the big deal? [02:59] Umi     You're right. Besides, A-RISE said... [03:02] (Flashback) Tsubasa     We believe the final preliminaries     are on par with the final event. [03:09] Honoka     Oh, right. They've acknowledged our talent. [03:12] Eli     Let's decide what song we're singing     at the final preliminaries. [03:16] Eli     We can only sing one song,     so we should choose carefully. SIGN    # 8 "My Wish" [03:20] Hanayo     In order to win... [03:21] Nico     I think we should sing a new song. [03:24] Honoka     A new song! [03:25] Rin     Sounds interesting! [03:27] Umi     Since we could only sing new     songs at the preliminaries, [03:29] Umi     that may be the right choice. [03:31] Hanayo     But I don't know that we should     make our decision based on that... [03:35] Maki     We don't know that a new song would     actually provide an advantage. [03:39] Kotori     Besides, like we said the other day, [03:41] Kotori     we shouldn't force ourselves     to do new things... [03:45] Nozomi     This is just a thought,     but what if we tried a love song? [03:52] All     A love song?! [03:54] Hanayo     I see! [03:55] Hanayo     Love songs are essential to idols! [03:58] Hanayo     It's a standard part of everyone's set. [04:01] Hanayo     But µ's doesn't have one yet! [04:04] Eli     Nozomi? [04:07] Honoka     But why haven't we written a love song yet? [04:11] Kotori     Because... [04:14] Umi     Wh-Why are you looking at me like that? [04:16] Nozomi     You have no romantic experience, right? [04:19] Umi     What? [04:20] Umi     Why would you assume that? [04:22] Honoka     Do you, then? [04:23] Kotori     Do you? [04:24] Umi     Why are you so interested? [04:27] Nico     Do you? [04:28] Hanayo     Do you? [04:28] Rin     Do you? [04:29] Umi     You, too?! [04:31] Honoka     Well? [04:31] Nico     Do you? [04:32] Rin     Do you? [04:33] Honoka     Umi-chan, tell us! Which is it? [04:36] Kotori     Umi-chan... [04:37] Umi     W-Well... [04:45] Umi     I don't. [04:46] Rin     I thought not. [04:49] Kotori     I was so surprised. [04:50] Honoka     You should've just said so! [04:53] Honoka     My heart was pounding! [04:55] Umi     Why are you getting on my case about this? [04:58] Umi     Honoka and Kotori, you don't     have any experience, either! [05:01] Both     Yeah. [05:01] Maki     I'm not sure we can start     working on a new song now. [05:06] Eli     But isn't it too soon to give up? [05:09] Maki     Eli? [05:10] Nozomi     You're right. [05:12] Nozomi     The important part     of song writing is imagination. [05:15] Umi     It's not as though I've only drawn     from my experiences in the past. [05:21] Honoka     But a love song is about romance, right? [05:25] Honoka     How are we supposed to get inspired? [05:28] Nozomi     Well... [05:29] Nozomi     For example... [05:34] Hanayo     Please accept this! [05:37] Nozomi     Nice! [05:38] Umi     Is this supposed to inspire us? [05:41] Nozomi     Yes. [05:42] Nozomi     The words you come up with     in these moments are fairly important. [05:45] Honoka     But why do we need a camera? [05:48] Nozomi     It'll make her more anxious. [05:51] Nozomi     Besides, we can enjoy the memories later. [05:55] Nico     You're clearly after the latter. [05:57] Nozomi     Now, now. [05:58] Nozomi     Maki-chan, you're next. [06:00] Maki     Wh-Why me? [06:04] Maki     Here. Just take it. [06:08] Maki     I-It's not like you're the     only one I gave one to. [06:11] Maki     Don't get the wrong idea! [06:14] Hanayo     Perfect! It's perfect! [06:16] Rin     I've seen that in a comic! [06:18] Maki     Well? Are you satisfied now? [06:21] Nico     Don't get ahead of yourself. [06:22] Maki     I'm not. [06:24] Nozomi     Nico-cchi, would you like to try? [06:27] Nico     Sheesh. You're all so hopeless. [06:34] Nico     What's wrong? You mean you don't know? [06:38] Nico     No! Don't look. It's embarrassing. [06:42] Nico     You're hopeless, aren't you? [06:45] Nico     Just a little. [06:47] Nico     You said you liked my     hair down, didn't you? [06:54] Nico     I'll give you it to you.     A special and happy Love-Nic— [07:00] Nozomi     I'm out of batteries. [07:01] Nico     Why?! [07:05] Honoka     We didn't settle on anything. [07:08] Umi     It's not easy. [07:09] Maki     Maybe we shouldn't force ourselves. [07:12] Maki     The final preliminaries are coming up. [07:14] Umi     You're right. [07:15] Umi     The final preliminaries are     the culmination of what we've done so far. [07:18] Umi     I feel like doing our best at the things [07:21] Umi     we've done so far is most important. [07:23] Kotori     I agree. [07:25] Hanayo     Yeah. [07:26] Eli     But I'd like to give a little extra. [07:30] All     What? [07:31] Maki     Eli? [07:32] Rin     Eli-chan, are you opposed? [07:35] Eli     I'm not opposed, but I think     a love song would be strong. [07:40] Eli     I feel like we can't win without one. [07:43] Honoka     You think so? [07:44] Umi     But it's not easy... [07:46] Eli     Besides, Nozomi's usually right. [07:51] Honoka     Why don't we think on it a little more, then? [07:54] Umi     I don't mind either way. [07:57] Eli     Why don't we get together     and exchange ideas this Sunday? [08:03] Eli     I'll look for something that might help us. [08:06] Eli     Nozomi, is that okay? [08:08] Nozomi     Huh? Yeah, sure. [08:16] Maki     It's not right. [08:18] Hanayo     Not right? [08:19] Rin     You mean Eli-chan? [08:20] Maki     Isn't it weird for Eli to take     the initiative and insist on a love song? [08:25] Hanayo     She must really want to go to the Love Live. [08:28] Maki     Then we should stop her. [08:30] Maki     No matter how you look at it, [08:32] Maki     we'd put on a much more finished     performance with an existing song. [08:35] Rin     You mean what she said     about trusting Nozomi-chan? [08:37] Maki     Have you seen her give it     that much attention before? [08:41] Hanayo     Then why? [08:42] Maki     I don't know. [08:44] Rin     Maybe... [08:47] Eli     Sorry for lying to you. [08:50] Hanayo     Khorosho... [08:52] Rin     If Eli joins them, there's no way we can win! [08:57] Maki     What are you imagining?     That would never happen. [09:00] Hanayo     Then... [09:01] Maki     I don't know, but there must be some reason. [09:08] Nozomi     Eli-chi. [09:10] Eli     What's wrong? [09:12] Nozomi     Aren't you being too pushy? [09:14] Nozomi     Everyone seemed at a loss. [09:17] Eli     It's fine. That's what I want to do. [09:21] Eli     Haven't you always wanted to do it? [09:23] Eli     See you later. [09:29] Nozomi     For crying out loud...     You're such a busybody, Eli-chi... [09:37] All     Love Live! [09:45] Honoka     I love you! I love you! [09:50] Honoka     This isn't right! [09:51] Eli     W-Well, you're not wrong... [09:56] Honoka     Love songs are hard. [09:59] Eli     Most love songs are about     the way you express your love. [10:04] Eli     They might be difficult for     a straightforward person like you. [10:07] Nico     She's not straightforward. She's just simple. [10:10] Nozomi     You say that, but your notebook is blank, too. [10:13] Nico     I-I'm just about to start writing! [10:14] Kotori     Now, now. [10:16] Kotori     Why don't we watch a romantic     movie to inspire ourselves? [10:19] Honoka     A romantic movie, huh? [10:24] Hanayo     How sad... [10:37] Nico     What the heck? What a cheap story! [10:40] Nozomi     You're crying. [10:48] Kotori     Why are you hiding? [10:50] Kotori     It's not a scary movie. [10:52] Eli     Yeah. It's an emotional scene. [10:55] Umi     I know! I-It's embarrassing... [11:16] Kotori     Umi-chan? [11:17] Umi     It's too embarrassing! It's shameless! [11:19] Hanayo     You think so? [11:21] Umi     Yes! [11:22] Umi     This isn't something you should do in public! [11:25] Honoka     Huh? [11:28] Rin     Is it over? [11:29] Kotori     Honoka-chan, you fell asleep     three minutes into the movie. [11:32] Honoka     Sorry. I thought, "What a slow movie,"     and starting feeling sleepy... [11:38] Eli     Real life isn't like the movies. [11:41] Eli     Let's try coming up with words again, and— [11:44] Maki     Wait. [11:46] Maki     Maybe we should give up. [11:49] Maki     We can't compose a song [11:51] Maki     and start practicing     the choreography and singing now. [11:54] Maki     It'll only look unpolished. [11:57] Eli     But— [11:57] Umi     I actually agree. [12:00] Umi     We don't have to rely on love songs.     We have our own music. [12:06] Honoka     Yeah. [12:07] Nico     We're against A-RISE. [12:09] Nico     Little tricks won't work against them. [12:11] Eli     But— [12:12] Nozomi     Everyone's right. [12:15] Nozomi     We should put all our efforts     into an existing song. [12:19] Eli     Nozomi... [12:20] Nozomi     That's what the cards are telling me to do. [12:23] Eli     Wait, Nozomi. You— [12:25] Nozomi     It's fine. What's more important than µ's? [12:33] Honoka     Is something wrong? [12:34] Nozomi     No, it's nothing. [12:36] Nozomi     Let's call it a day and     start practicing tomorrow. [12:42] Honoka     See you later! [12:43] Rin     Bye bye! [12:48] Maki     Rin, Hanayo, you go on ahead. [13:01] Eli     Are you sure? [13:02] Nozomi     I said it's fine. [13:04] Eli     You should say something. [13:05] Eli     If you do, I'm sure they'll support you. [13:09] Nozomi     This is all I need. [13:13] Eli     You're so stubborn... [13:14] Nozomi     You're one to talk. [13:18] Eli     What does that mean? [13:21] Nozomi     See you tomorrow. [13:23] Eli     Nozomi... [13:25] Maki     Wait. [13:28] Nozomi     Maki-chan... [13:29] Maki     You told me before that I'm a pain. [13:33] Nozomi     Did I? [13:36] Maki     You're way more of a pain than I am. [13:41] Eli     We agree. [13:42] Eli     I feel the same way. [13:48] Maki     Excuse the intrusion. [13:50] Nozomi     Make yourselves at home. [13:54] Nozomi     Is tea okay? [13:56] Maki     Yeah. [13:58] Maki     Are you living alone? [14:01] Nozomi     Yes. [14:05] Nozomi     Since I was little, [14:07] Nozomi     I transferred schools a lot     because of my parents' work. [14:11] Maki     I see... [14:12] Eli     She finally found a place she belonged     when she came to Otonokizaka. [14:16] Nozomi     Don't talk about that. [14:19] Nozomi     It's not something we should discuss now. [14:22] Nozomi     Whoops. [14:24] Maki     Tell me. [14:26] Maki     We've come this far. [14:28] Eli     She's right. There's no     point in hiding it, is there? [14:32] Nozomi     I wasn't hiding it... [14:36] Nozomi     You just made a big deal out of it. [14:40] Eli     Liar. [14:41] Eli     Haven't you been looking forward     to it since µ's formed? [14:45] Nozomi     That's not true. [14:47] Eli     Nozomi! [14:49] Nozomi     I just had a little wish. [14:52] Maki     That's enough! [14:54] Maki     I don't know where you're going with this! [14:57] Maki     What do you mean? [14:59] Maki     Nozomi! [15:03] Eli     Simply put, it was Nozomi's dream. [15:07] Nozomi     Eli-chi. [15:08] Eli     We can't not tell her anything now. [15:12] Maki     Her dream? To sing a love song? [15:15] Eli     No. The love song isn't important. [15:22] Eli     It's writing a song as nine. [15:27] Eli     Weaving together each     member's words and feelings. [15:32] Eli     A song we truly wrote together. [15:36] Eli     She wanted to write a song like that. [15:38] Eli     She wanted to go to     the Love Live with that song. [15:41] Eli     That was Nozomi's dream. [15:43] Eli     That's why I suggested a love song. [15:47] Eli     It didn't go over well, though. [15:50] Eli     If we could just compose a single     song from everyone's ideas... [15:56] Nozomi     I told you. [15:57] Nozomi     I never said it was     anything as big as a dream. [16:02] Maki     Then what is it? [16:06] Nozomi     I don't know... [16:08] Nozomi     But it doesn't have to be a song. [16:11] Nozomi     It would have been enough for the nine     of us to make something together. [16:18] Nozomi     This group of nine has been a miracle to me. [16:21] Maki     A miracle? [16:23] Nozomi     Yes. µ's is my miracle... [16:30] (Flashback) Teacher     Let me introduce you to your new     friend who transferred here today. SIGN    Nozomi Tojo [16:35] (Flashback) Teacher     Be nice to her. [16:39] Nozomi     Because I was always transferring,     I didn't have friends. [16:58] Nozomi     Naturally, there was     no one who understood me. [17:10] Eli     Nice to meet you, everyone. [17:13] Eli     My name is Eli Ayase.     I hope we can be friends. [17:18] Nozomi     For the first time, I met her. [17:20] Nozomi     To protect herself,     she distanced her from others. [17:24] Nozomi     She couldn't fit in with others. [17:26] Nozomi     She couldn't cheat. [17:28] Nozomi     A person like me. [17:33] Nozomi     Her feelings were stronger     than those of others. [17:35] Nozomi     Her awkwardness made her clash with people. [17:39] (Flashback) Nozomi     Excuse me! [17:44] (Flashback) Eli     Who are you? [17:46] (Flashback) Nozomi     I-I... [17:52] (Flashback) Nozomi     I'm Nozomi Tojo! [17:55] Nozomi     That was how Eli-chi and I met. [18:00] Nozomi     Later, I met others who felt the same way,     but I couldn't reach out to them. [18:07] Nozomi     When I saw you, there was passion,     but I didn't know how to reach out to you. SIGN    Recruiting members!! [18:15] Nozomi     There were girls like that here and there. [18:21] Nozomi     That's when something arrived     to tie us together with great strength. [18:28] Nozomi     Something that connects these people     who share the same feelings. [18:33] Nozomi     I was determined to make it so. [18:36] Nozomi     I wanted to accomplish     something together as nine. [18:42] Nozomi     Maybe it would've been     nice for it to be a song. [18:48] Nozomi     But even if it's not that, µ's has already     created something enormous. [18:56] Nozomi     That's enough for me.     My dream has already— [19:24] Nozomi     My greatest dream has already come true. [19:28] Nozomi     That's the end of that story. [19:31] Nozomi     Are you satisfied? [19:33] Eli     So says Nozomi. [19:36] Eli     What do you think? [19:43] Nozomi     Are you going to call everyone here? [19:46] Maki     Why not invite everyone at least once? [19:50] Maki     They're your friends. [19:55] Honoka     What?! [19:57] Honoka     We're writing one after all? [19:59] Maki     Yeah. We're all going to write it together. [20:02] Kotori     Nozomi-chan lives by herself... [20:05] Umi     I had no idea. [20:07] Hanayo     Did something happen, Maki-chan? [20:08] Maki     No. [20:11] Eli     It's a Christmas present. [20:13] Eli     From µ's to the goddess who created µ's. [20:20] Hanayo     We're all contributing lyrics, huh? [20:27] Hanayo     Is this... [20:32] Hanayo     Nozomi-chan! [20:35] Nico     I'm surprised you have that out. [20:37] Nozomi     S-So, what? Even I do that...
