[00:00] ---
    
[00:00] ---
    A miracle that suddenly came into...
[00:08] ---
    ...my life.
[00:16] ---
    Chika-chan, look over there!
[00:20] ---
    I wanted to be captivated by something.
[00:23] ---
    I wanted to do my best in something.
[00:27] ---
    I wanted to run forward in earnest.
[00:30] ---
    But, I didn't know what that something was.
[00:38] ---
    The indifferent me was blown upwards...
[00:43] ---
    ...and I landed upon it.
[01:03] ---
    That something was...
[01:08] ---
    Chasing down the path of
    a dream I've never seen
[01:23] ---
    Shining Road
[01:24] ---
    This feeling of being off to the races
[01:28] ---
    I searched for you energetically,
    straight and true
[01:33] ---
    No way we can wait one second,
    let's leap out there
[01:37] ---
    The courage we have in us is clamoring
[01:42] ---
    The everyday world takes new doors
[01:47] ---
    (More) And hides them
[01:49] ---
    (Let's go!) I want to open them all
[01:54] ---
    Come on, let's do it together!
[01:56] ---
    I want to start it! My story!
    (Here, now's the time)
[02:01] ---
    Blue skies are waiting
[02:06] ---
    Hug that dream tight, and Jumping Heart
[02:09] ---
    Just with that, I can move on to tomorrow,
    youth full speed ahead?!
[02:15] ---
    From when it began (Sunshine Story)
[02:20] ---
    Cherish that thrill in our hearts always
[02:25] ---
    We'll go out to catch our dreams
[02:28] ---
    Not knowing what might happen
    is part of the fun

[03:28] ---
    What was that?
[03:29] ---
    It was probably Chika-chan.
[03:31] ---
    She's still doing that nonsense?
    She'll bother our customers.
[03:36] ---
    I did tell her.
[03:38] ---
    She needs to hear it from you, too. That it's
    impossible out here in the countryside!
[03:43] ---
    Ow...
[03:44] ---
    You okay?
[03:46] ---
    Yup, I'm fine! Again.
[03:49] ---
    How do I look?
[03:51] ---
    You've got it down... probably!
[03:55] ---
    Yes!
[03:57] ---
    You're really going to start the club?
[03:59] ---
    Yup!
[04:01] ---
    I'll start the club right after
    we start the new term!
[04:01] ---
    "School Idol Culb"
[04:05] ---
    Who else is joining?
[04:07] ---
    Nobody yet. I would ask you
    if you weren't already in the Swim Club.
[04:12] ---
    But, why do you want to be a school idol?
[04:15] ---
    Why do you ask?
[04:16] ---
    Because, you've never been interested
    in any clubs. Why are you now?
[04:21] ---
    Wait!
[04:28] ---
    We're late!
[04:30] ---
    "Tochiman"
[04:31] ---
    I told you not to use the guest entrance.
[04:35] ---
    Sorry!
[04:37] ---
    --Oh, wait!
    --We want to get on!
[04:41] ---
    We're leaving now!
[04:45] ---
    "Love Live! Sunshine!!"
[04:51] ---
    We made it! We almost
    had to wait for the next bus.
[04:56] ---
    "Shine!" "School Idol Club"
    "accepting applications!!"
[04:57] ---
    You already made a flyer?!
[04:59] ---
    Yup. The earlier, the better, right?
[05:01] ---
    Oh, I'm so excited!
[05:04] ---
    Yeah, but...
[05:07] ---
    What is it?
[05:08] ---
    I've decided! I'll help you out
    because it's you, Chika-chan.
[05:13] ---
    School Idol Club...
[05:18] ---
    The super popular School Idol Club...
[05:23] ---
    No takers, huh.
[05:36] ---
    She's so pretty.
[05:39] ---
    Hey!
[05:41] ---
    Do you want to be a school idol?
[05:43] ---
    Zura?!
[05:44] ---
    Zura?
[05:45] ---
    Oh, nothing.
[05:46] ---
    Don't worry. I know you'll like it.
[05:47] ---
    "Shine!" "School Idol Club"
    "accepting applications!!"
[05:49] ---
    I'm sure both of you
    will be popular! No doubt about it.
[05:54] ---
    But, I...
[05:55] ---
    Woah! Oh! Over here!
[05:59] ---
    Are you interested?
[06:01] ---
    Do you have concerts?
[06:04] ---
    Not yet. I'm just starting the club.
    That's why I'd love for a cutie like you to join!
[06:09] ---
    Wha--
[06:11] ---
    Zura.
[06:17] ---
    Ruby-chan is extremely shy, zura.
[06:27] ---
    Ow, my legs...
[06:32] ---
    Er... are you okay?
[06:41] ---
    Is this... Earth?
[06:45] ---
    You don't seem okay.
[06:47] ---
    Which means, you lot
    are despicable, lowly humans.
[06:53] ---
    --Woah.
    --Never mind that. Are your legs okay?
[06:56] ---
    Ow-- Of course they are!
    This body is merely a vessel.
[07:03] ---
    For myself, Yohane,
    this body is my temporary form.
[07:07] ---
    Whoops. I accidentally said my name.
[07:10] ---
    --Now you know that
    I am the fallen angel, Yohane--
    --Yoshiko-chan?
[07:13] ---
    It is you, Yoshiko-chan! It's Hanamaru.
[07:17] ---
    I haven't seen you since kindergarten!
[07:19] ---
    Ha-na-ma-ru?!
[07:23] ---
    H-How dare you, human?
[07:27] ---
    Rock, paper, scissors!
[07:29] ---
    The way you do scissors.
    It is you, Yoshiko-chan!
[07:33] ---
    Don't call me "Yoshiko"! Got it?
[07:35] ---
    I'm "Yohane." My name is "Yohane"!
[07:38] ---
    --Oh, Yoshiko-chan!
    --Oh, Maru-chan!
[07:39] ---
    Don't call me "Yoshiko"!
[07:41] ---
    What's wrong, Yoshiko-chan?
[07:44] ---
    Wait!
[07:45] ---
    Go away!
[07:47] ---
    I'm going... to recruit those girls later!
[07:53] ---
    Was it you? The one who was
    passing out these flyers?
[07:57] ---
    Just when did Uranohoshi Girls'
    High School start a School Idol Club?
[08:05] ---
    Are you a first year, too?
[08:07] ---
    Chika-chan, she's not a new student.
    She's a third year and--
[08:14] ---
    No way!
[08:17] ---
    The student council president?!
[08:21] ---
    Basically, you were gathering members
    when you didn't even apply,
[08:25] ---
    let alone receive permission
    to start this club?
[08:28] ---
    I didn't mean to make trouble.
    I was just inviting them to join.
[08:32] ---
    So, I thought I might as well...
    maybe I was jumping the gun.
[08:36] ---
    How many members do you have?
    You only have one name written here.
[08:41] ---
    Right now, it's just me.
[08:44] ---
    You do know that you need at least
    five members to start a new club?
[08:49] ---
    That's why I was finding people to join!
[08:53] ---
    Ouch!
[08:57] ---
    You're in no position to be laughing!
[08:59] ---
    Sorry.
[09:01] ---
    Anyway, I cannot accept
    this incomplete application.
[09:05] ---
    What?!
[09:07] ---
    Chika-chan, let's come back later.
[09:10] ---
    Then, I will submit it again
    after I get five people.
[09:13] ---
    Do as you like. Even if you do,
    it doesn't mean I will approve of the club.
[09:18] ---
    Why not?
[09:20] ---
    As long as I am student council president,
    a School Idol Club will never be approved!
[09:27] ---
    N-No way!
[09:34] ---
    Well, that didn't work.
    Why won't she allow a School Idol Club?
[09:41] ---
    I don't think she likes it.
[09:43] ---
    A girl in my class wanted to start
    one up before, but it was rejected, too.
[09:48] ---
    What?! You knew?
[09:50] ---
    Sorry!
[09:51] ---
    Why didn't you tell me earlier?
[09:54] ---
    You were already so into the idea.
    I couldn't break it to you.
[10:00] ---
    I heard that because her family
    is part of an old fishing family,
[10:05] ---
    she doesn't like silly things like that.
[10:14] ---
    It's not silly.
[10:18] ---
    Hey, we're here!
[10:22] ---
    You're later than usual. Wasn't it
    only the entrance ceremony today?
[10:26] ---
    Yup. We got caught up in other things...
[10:28] ---
    Here! There's the neighborhood
    circular and stuff from my mom.
[10:33] ---
    They're probably just mandarin oranges again.
[10:35] ---
    Tell my mom if you don't want them.
[10:38] ---
    Oomph.
[10:40] ---
    Kanan-chan, you think you'll be able
    to come to school this new term?
[10:44] ---
    Well, there's still a lot
    I need to help out with at home.
[10:49] ---
    And it'll still be a while
    before dad's bone heals.
[10:52] ---
    That's too bad. I wanted you to join, too.
[10:56] ---
    Join what?
[10:58] ---
    You see, I'm going to be a school idol!
[11:03] ---
    Oh? Well, unlike you
    second years, I'm a third year.
[11:09] ---
    I know. It's amazing!
[11:12] ---
    Here. Give this to your mom.
[11:14] ---
    Aw, dried fish again?
[11:16] ---
    Tell my mom if you don't want them.
[11:19] ---
    Well, that's how it is. I'll be taking
    a break from school for a while longer,
[11:22] ---
    so let me know if anything happens at school.
[11:31] ---
    What's that?
[11:33] ---
    Probably the Ohara family.
[11:42] ---
    So, it's been two years.
[11:54] ---
    I have to figure out a way.
    I finally found some people.
[12:03] ---
    Hm?
[12:21] ---
    Huh?
[12:23] ---
    Wha--
[12:25] ---
    What? No way, it's still April.
[12:33] ---
    Wait! You'll die. You're going to die!
[12:36] ---
    Let go! I must go!
[12:52] ---
    Love Live Sunshine!
[12:56] ---
    You okay?
[12:58] ---
    This isn't Okinawa.
[13:01] ---
    There are diving shops
    if you want to swim in the ocean.
[13:06] ---
    I wanted to hear the sound of the ocean.
[13:08] ---
    The sound of the ocean?
[13:09] ---
    Yeah.
[13:10] ---
    Why?
[13:13] ---
    All right, I won't ask anymore.
[13:17] ---
    You mean the sounds in the water?
[13:20] ---
    I'm composing a piano piece, but I can't
    grasp the image of an oceanic song.
[13:27] ---
    Wow, you're writing music?
    It's amazing that you can compose music.
[13:31] ---
    Do you go to a high school around here?
[13:34] ---
    --I'm from Tokyo.
    --Tokyo? You came here for this?
[13:37] ---
    Well, I--
[13:40] ---
    Oh yeah! Do you know any school idols?
[13:44] ---
    School idols?
[13:45] ---
    Yeah, there are lots of
    famous groups in Tokyo, right?
[13:49] ---
    What are you talking about?
[13:51] ---
    Huh?
[14:00] ---
    "Tochiman" "Restaurant"
[14:00] ---
    You don't know of them? They're school idols!
[14:02] ---
    They live as idols at school
    and enter competitions.
[14:08] ---
    Are they famous?
[14:09] ---
    You bet! They're super famous
    and have even performed at the Dome!
[14:16] ---
    Though, I've only recently
    known about them, too.
[14:19] ---
    I see. I've only concentrated on piano,
    so I don't know much about those things.
[14:26] ---
    You want to watch them?
    It'll make you say, "Oh my goodness!"
[14:30] ---
    Oh my goodness?
[14:32] ---
    Oh my goodness.
[14:35] ---
    --They're...
    --What do you think?
[14:37] ---
    Well... They look... normal.
[14:43] ---
    Oh, I didn't mean it in a bad way.
[14:45] ---
    I just thought they'd look
    more like celebrities since they're idols.
[14:51] ---
    I agree.
[14:52] ---
    Huh?
[14:54] ---
    That's why I was shocked.
[15:04] ---
    To have always concentrated
    on piano like you,
[15:08] ---
    or been absorbed in something you love.
[15:13] ---
    To have a dream of what you want to become.
[15:25] ---
    There!
[15:32] ---
    I've never had that.
[15:39] ---
    You know what? I'm normal.
[15:45] ---
    I'm a normal person born on Planet Normal.
[15:49] ---
    No matter how I change myself,
    I'm still normal.
[15:53] ---
    That's how I've always thought about myself.
[15:55] ---
    And I thought maybe there was
    something in that, too.
[15:57] ---
    But, before I realized, I was
    in my second year of high school.
[16:04] ---
    Oh no! If I keep on like this,
    I'll just stay like this!
[16:07] ---
    I need to go beyond being a normal person
    and become the normal monster, Chika-chi!
[16:13] ---
    Roar!
[16:15] ---
    Beep, boom! Woah! Swish, bam!
[16:23] ---
    That's when I met... all of them.
[16:36] ---
    Even though they were normal
    high schoolers like me, they were shining.
[16:38] ---
    Hey,hey,hey,START:DASH!!
[16:51] ---
    Even baby birds covered in down
[16:54] ---
    Will someday flap their wings in the sky
[16:55] ---
    Then I thought, how cool it would be to practice
    with all my might and be as one on stage.
[16:57] ---
    They'll fly with big, strong wings
[17:03] ---
    I was moved, and knew
    I could be lovely like them.
[17:04] ---
    You must not give up
[17:07] ---
    That day will definitely come
[17:09] ---
    And I realized that
    school idols could be this...
[17:10] ---
    You must feel it, too
[17:13] ---
    The starting beat
[17:16] ---
    Change to tomorrow!
[17:19] ---
    Change to hope!
[17:20] ---
    Could be this...
[17:22] ---
    Could be this...
[17:22] ---
    Change bathed in the blinding light
[17:25] ---
    Could be this... radiant!
[17:28] ---
    START!!
[17:30] ---
    I listened to all their
    songs before I knew it.
[17:33] ---
    I'd watch their videos everyday
    and memorize the songs.
[17:37] ---
    Then, I thought: I want to
    do this with my friends, too.
[17:43] ---
    I wanted to aim for the same goal as them.
[17:48] ---
    I want to shine, too!
[17:54] ---
    Thank you.
[17:56] ---
    Your story just now
    encourages me to do my best.
[18:00] ---
    Really?
[18:01] ---
    Yes. I hope you can become a school idol.
[18:06] ---
    Thanks! Oh, I'm Chika Takami.
[18:08] ---
    I'm a second year at Uranohoshi
    Girls' High School on that hill.
[18:13] ---
    We're in the same grade, then.
[18:16] ---
    I'm Riko Sakurauchi.
[18:19] ---
    I go to...
[18:26] ---
    ...Otonokizaka High.
[18:32] ---
    Trying again?
[18:34] ---
    Yeah, I'm going to
    ask Dia again for permission.
[18:38] ---
    But--
[18:39] ---
    I can't give up!
    They sang it in their song, too.
[18:44] ---
    "That day will definitely come."
[18:47] ---
    You're serious, aren't you?
[18:50] ---
    Huh?
[18:52] ---
    --Thanks.
    --Hey, come on!
[18:56] ---
    You know what? Ever since elementary school,
[19:00] ---
    I've always wanted to do something
    with you that we were both crazy about.
[19:05] ---
    You-chan?
[19:07] ---
    Even though I'll be splitting my time
    between this and swimming... here!
[19:11] ---
    "Chika Takami" "You Watanabe"
[19:12] ---
    "New Club Application Form"
[19:15] ---
    You-chan!
[19:19] ---
    You-chan!
[19:20] ---
    --You're hugging too tight!
    --You-chan!
[19:23] ---
    All right! Let's become great school idols!
[19:27] ---
    Yeah!
[19:29] ---
    Hm?
[19:34] ---
    You have some nerve to come again
    with the form in this state.
[19:38] ---
    Plus, you've only gone
    from one to two members.
[19:41] ---
    I really believe that
    I can't back down on this easily.
[19:45] ---
    You're probably just testing
    my will to do this.
[19:49] ---
    You're wrong! Didn't I say that it doesn't
    matter however many times you come?
[19:54] ---
    And why is that?!
[19:55] ---
    Because, this school does
    not need school idols!
[19:59] ---
    Why is that?!
[20:02] ---
    You two...
[20:03] ---
    I don't need to tell you!
[20:05] ---
    Even if you do start the club,
    can you write your own songs?!
[20:09] ---
    Songs?
[20:12] ---
    You must have original songs
    to enter Love Live.
[20:17] ---
    It's the first barrier you must overcome
    when you're starting as a school idol.
[20:22] ---
    There may be students who can
    compose at a high school in Tokyo,
[20:24] ---
    but there aren't students
    who can at our school.
[20:30] ---
    Not one person.
[20:33] ---
    The student council president was right.
[20:35] ---
    It's tough just starting up
    this school idol thing.
[20:40] ---
    Then, there's no choice!
[20:42] ---
    "Music"
[20:43] ---
    I will do it! Somehow...
[20:45] ---
    We'll have graduated
    by the time you're able to do it.
[20:49] ---
    You're right.
[20:50] ---
    Okay, everyone.
[20:52] ---
    Let's introduce our transfer student.
[21:01] ---
    She will be attending
    our school starting today.
[21:05] ---
    "Encyclopedia of Magic"
[21:07] ---
    Excuse me.
[21:07] ---
    "Please clean BOX"
[21:08] ---
    I transferred from Tokyo's Otonokizaka High.
[21:18] ---
    I'm Riko Sakurauchi.
[21:22] ---
    Nice to meet you.
[21:26] ---
    It's a miracle!
[21:29] ---
    Oh, you're--!
[21:33] ---
    That was... the start of it all!
[21:48] ---
    Hand in hand, wow wo!
[21:53] ---
    Hand in hand, wow wo!
[22:00] ---
    What are you looking for?
[22:03] ---
    I don't know yet, but I think
    I found the entrance (Hand in Hand)
[22:10] ---
    It's the passion sleeping inside you
[22:16] ---
    That is about to awaken
[22:19] ---
    Get it? (Hand in Hand)
[22:25] ---
    I'm not just imagining the feeling
    that my dream will come true (wow wo!)
[22:35] ---
    It won't start unless you start moving
[22:40] ---
    I want to grasp that hand
[22:44] ---
    Change, change, from today to a new world
[22:49] ---
    Change, change, I'll cheerfully support you
[22:55] ---
    Maybe we can fly if we're together
[23:00] ---
    Come on, don't hesitate
[23:02] ---
    I don't want to give up anymore
[23:04] ---
    I've decided!
[23:07] ---
    Where should we go from here?
[23:10] ---
    We'll go forth, hand in hand!
[23:17] ---
    Do you want to be a school idol with me?
[23:28] ---
    I'm sorry.
[23:29] ---
    Wh--
[23:31] ---
    What?!
[23:35] ---
    Next time, "Catch the Transfer Student."
