[00:00] ---
    Last time, on...
[00:01] ---
    Love Live! Sunshine!!
[00:02] ---
    With the qualifiers just around the corner,
[00:03] ---
    You took over for Riko,
    signing a pact of darkness with Chika...
[00:06] ---
    Sorry!
[00:07] ---
    ...while her worries over their relationship
    pounded out a pitch black rhythm...
[00:11] ---
    Maybe Chika-chan didn't
    want it to be just the two of us.
[00:14] ---
    Then, one nacht...
[00:16] ---
    You don't have to adjust!
    We'll just start over from the beginning!
[00:20] ---
    I'm such an idiot... Stupid You.
[00:24] ---
    And so the twilight of the gods
    descended upon Love Live...
[00:30] ---
    "Preliminary qualifiers
    Will be presented soon!"
[00:37] ---
    Still?
[00:38] ---
    Geez, how long are they gonna make us wait?!
[00:40] ---
    I hate this kind of stuff!
[00:43] ---
    It's okay.
[00:45] ---
    I'm going for a run.
[00:46] ---
    I'll let you know when we get the results!
[00:49] ---
    --Don't worry about it.
    --So you don't mind not knowing?
[00:56] ---
    You'll gain weight if you eat too much!
[00:58] ---
    I can't keep calm unless I'm eating!
[01:01] ---
    My little demons...
[01:03] ---
    The fallen angel Yohane asks for
    your dark magic, your undead strength...
[01:07] ---
    All of your power!
[01:12] ---
    --Don't extinguish them!
    --It's here!
[01:15] ---
    The winners of the Love Live qualifiers...
[01:20] ---
    I'm so nervous!
[01:22] ---
    It's "Aqours"! It's "A"! A, A, A!
[01:31] ---
    --No way.
    --We lost.
    --What?!
[01:34] ---
    Oh, it's sorted by entry number.
[01:38] ---
    You-chan!
[01:39] ---
    Sorry, sorry! Let's see...
[01:42] ---
    Ease Express, Green Teas, Meenana, Aqours...
[01:49] ---
    Aqours!
[01:50] ---
    We did it!
[01:52] ---
    --Hooray, zura!
    --We made it... We passed the qualifiers...
[01:55] ---
    Oh my god... Oh my god! Oh my god!!
[02:02] ---
    Chasing down the path
    of a dream I've never seen
[02:18] ---
    Shining Road
[02:19] ---
    This feeling of being off to the races
[02:23] ---
    I searched for you energetically,
    straight and true
[02:28] ---
    No way we can wait one second,
    let's leap out there
[02:32] ---
    The courage we have in us is clamoring
[02:36] ---
    The everyday world takes new doors
[02:42] ---
    (More) And hides them
[02:44] ---
    (Let's go!) I want to open them all
[02:49] ---
    Come on, let's do it together!
[02:51] ---
    I want to start it! My story!
    (Here, now's the time)
[02:56] ---
    Blue skies are waiting
[03:00] ---
    Hug that dream tight, and Jumping Heart
[03:03] ---
    Just with that, I can move on to tomorrow,
    youth full speed ahead?!
[03:10] ---
    From when it began (Sunshine Story)
[03:15] ---
    Cherish that thrill in our hearts always
[03:20] ---
    We'll go out to catch our dreams
[03:23] ---
    Not knowing what might happen
    is part of the fun
[03:33] ---
    All right, we just got this fish this morning!
[03:37] ---
    It's all yours!
[03:39] ---
    Why are we eating sashimi to celebrate?
[03:41] ---
    It doesn't feel like we're
    celebrating if the fish isn't fresh!
[03:44] ---
    There must be something else.
    Like natsumikan!
[03:47] ---
    Or pastries...
[03:48] ---
    Then sashimi is fine, too.
[03:51] ---
    Woah-woah-woah! Look at this!
[03:53] ---
    What?
[03:54] ---
    It's the number of plays for our promo video!
[03:57] ---
    Our promo video?!
[03:59] ---
    That's a ton of plays...
[04:01] ---
    That's not all, it's got a lot of comments, too!
[04:05] ---
    --"How cute!"
    --"They might make nationals!"
[04:08] ---
    --"This is a dark horse!"
    --The dark side?!
[04:10] ---
    I'm glad it wasn't a zero this time.
[04:13] ---
    Of course not! We made it
    through the qualifiers, after all.
[04:19] ---
    It's Riko-chan.
[04:22] ---
    Congratulations on making it
    through the qualifiers!
[04:25] ---
    What about your competition?
[04:28] ---
    I played just fine.
[04:30] ---
    I feel like I was able to
    play the song I was searching for.
[04:34] ---
    That's great.
[04:36] ---
    All right, we'll sing
    with nine voices next time.
[04:39] ---
    All together, for Love Live!
[04:42] ---
    You-chan...
[04:45] ---
    Yeah, nine voices.
[04:49] ---
    We'll get famous through Love Live,
[04:52] ---
    and keep Ura High alive!
[04:52] ---
    "Ura High"
[04:54] ---
    Let's give it our Rubesty!
[04:55] ---
    This should be good for
    the school's open house event.
[04:59] ---
    Open house?
[05:00] ---
    Yeah, it's being held in September!
[05:03] ---
    After these qualifiers,
    our school should be pretty well known!
[05:08] ---
    That's right. Considering the
    number of views our video has,
[05:11] ---
    there should be a lot of students
    applying for the open house.
[05:18] ---
    --Zero.
    --Huh?
[05:20] ---
    It's... zero.
[05:21] ---
    No way...
[05:23] ---
    You're kidding! You're kidding, right?
[05:25] ---
    --Zero?
    --Not even one person?
[05:33] ---
    Zero... Again.
[05:35] ---
    I wonder if the number of
    admission applications will be different...
[05:38] ---
    But... We got so many views.
[05:42] ---
    And on the way back from the qualifiers...
[05:45] ---
    Um, you're Kanan, from Aqours, right?
[05:48] ---
    Huh?
[05:49] ---
    It is you! Ca--Can I have your autograph?
[05:52] ---
    --Huh, me? Are you sure
    you've got the right person?
[05:53] ---
    --Ok, here we go!
    --Huh, me? Are you sure
    you've got the right person?
[05:55] ---
    Full steam ahead!
[05:57] ---
    A--Aye, aye...
[05:59] ---
    Can I shake your hand?
[06:02] ---
    Hang on!
[06:03] ---
    I'll let you take a picture with me instead.
[06:07] ---
    Wh--Who might you be?
[06:10] ---
    I am...!
[06:14] ---
    We were so popular.
[06:17] ---
    I think you could have
    left out the part about Dia.
[06:20] ---
    What'll we do if we
    still don't get any new students?
[06:25] ---
    μ's had already kept their school
    from closing at this point, huh?
[06:30] ---
    Huh? Are you sure?
[06:32] ---
    Yep. It was pretty much decided
    that they'd keep it open.
[06:36] ---
    They're on a different level...
[06:39] ---
    But that's just how it goes.
[06:41] ---
    That just shows how hard it is
    to be a school idol where we are.
[06:46] ---
    I guess that's true, but...
[06:47] ---
    We still don't have any applicants.
[06:49] ---
    "Uranohoshi Girls' High School Open House"
[06:51] ---
    In Tokyo, people will show up
    even if they don't do anything.
[06:55] ---
    Not here though.
[07:00] ---
    But we can't use that as an excuse.
[07:04] ---
    Chika...
[07:08] ---
    We knew that when we decided
    to become school idols!
[07:14] ---
    Chika-chan! If you cram it all down-- Huh?
[07:17] ---
    Chika-chan!
[07:19] ---
    I'm going to go think things over, by myself!
[07:25] ---
    Ooh, brain freeze!
[07:42] ---
    They had already saved their school...
[07:46] ---
    I thought they weren't all
    that different from me, back then.
[07:51] ---
    I thought they were normal people,
    trying hard and shining bright...
[07:55] ---
    And I thought, "Maybe I can do it, too."
[08:00] ---
    What is it that makes them different?
[08:03] ---
    Maybe it's the leader...
[08:06] ---
    What are you mumbling to yourself about?
[08:09] ---
    Ah, what should I do?
[08:14] ---
    Chika? Chika!
[08:17] ---
    Thinking won't solve anything! I'm going!
[08:20] ---
    Where?
[08:22] ---
    What are you doing here?
[08:24] ---
    Did you just notice?
[08:27] ---
    --Tokyo?
    --Yeah. I want to find the difference
    between us and μ's.
[08:29] ---
    --Yeah. I want to find the difference
    between us and μ's.
[08:34] ---
    I want to see why μ's
    was able to save Otonokizaka,
[08:38] ---
    and what was great about them.
    I want us to think about that.
[08:44] ---
    Why not?
[08:46] ---
    So, we shall once again
    descend upon that city of sin...
[08:50] ---
    I can extend my trip by a day, but...
[08:53] ---
    But?
[08:54] ---
    It's nothing. Let me
    know when you've figured out the details.
[09:01] ---
    I've got to clean up.
[09:05] ---
    Love Live! Sunshine!!
[09:12] ---
    It's so lively!
[09:14] ---
    Steel yourselves, everyone!
[09:17] ---
    You must not be defeated!
    Don't let Tokyo swallow you up!
[09:20] ---
    It's okay! It's not going to
    attack us or anything.
[09:24] ---
    You don't understand the terror of Tokyo!
[09:27] ---
    I wonder why she's so scared of Tokyo.
[09:27] ---
    The terror of being enveloped
    in a concrete labyrinth!
[09:29] ---
    Apparently she got lost here
    when she was little.
[09:36] ---
    It's all a mess...
    It's all a mess... It's all a mess...
[09:42] ---
    --That must have been trautomatic.
    --Got it? This isn't Numazu! This is Tokyo!
[09:44] ---
    --You mean traumatic.
    --Got it? This isn't Numazu! This is Tokyo!
[09:46] ---
    Hey, where is Riko-chan?
[09:48] ---
    We're meeting her here.
[09:53] ---
    Riko-chan?
[09:54] ---
    Chika-chan! And everyone else...
[09:56] ---
    What's that stuff?
[09:58] ---
    Uh... It's just gifts. And gifts. And gifts...
[10:03] ---
    Gifts?!
[10:05] ---
    What is it?!
[10:08] ---
    --I can't see! I can't see!
    --It's nothing, it's nothing!
[10:14] ---
    All right, shall we go then?
[10:16] ---
    Um, where are we actually going?
[10:18] ---
    Tower? Tree? Hills?
[10:21] ---
    We didn't come here to have fun.
[10:23] ---
    That's right. We'll go to the shrine first.
[10:25] ---
    --Again?
    --Yeah.
[10:26] ---
    Actually, I really want to
    talk to a certain person,
[10:29] ---
    and I spent a lot of time looking into it.
[10:30] ---
    They said they'd see us.
[10:32] ---
    A certain person? Who is it, zura?
[10:34] ---
    You'll find out when you meet them!
[10:37] ---
    But they're the perfect person to talk to!
[10:40] ---
    Tokyo... The shrine...
[10:42] ---
    The perfect person... Could it be...?
[10:44] ---
    Could it be? Could it be?!
    Could it be?! Could it be?!
[10:50] ---
    Good to see you.
[10:51] ---
    Good to see you, too!
[10:53] ---
    Oh...
[10:54] ---
    Who did you think it'd be?
[11:02] ---
    This is a pretty impressive place.
[11:05] ---
    Congratulations on making it
    through the qualifiers.
[11:08] ---
    Your performance was really cool.
[11:10] ---
    There's no need to praise us.
[11:14] ---
    Your video has more views than ours, after all.
[11:17] ---
    --Oh, no!
    --Really, it's nothing.
[11:19] ---
    But we're going to take the championship.
[11:27] ---
    Ria and I decided to become
    school idols when we saw A-RISE.
[11:33] ---
    We've thought about it, too.
[11:37] ---
    What makes μ's and A-RISE great,
    what is different about them.
[11:42] ---
    Did you find the answer?
[11:44] ---
    No. You simply have to win.
[11:48] ---
    You have to win, follow in
    their footsteps, and see what they saw.
[11:54] ---
    Do you want to win?
[11:55] ---
    Huh?
[11:56] ---
    Do you want to win Love Live?
[12:00] ---
    Seira, is she an idiot?
[12:02] ---
    If you don't want to win,
    why are you entering Love Live?
[12:05] ---
    --Well...
    --Why did μ's and A-RISE enter Love Live?
[12:13] ---
    They should be posting this year's
    championship tournament soon.
[12:19] ---
    Do you want to go look?
[12:20] ---
    The posting is a bit of a tradition around here.
[12:30] ---
    Akiba Dome...
[12:31] ---
    It's really being held there...
[12:36] ---
    It's kind of hard to imagine.
[12:52] ---
    Hey, why don't we go check out Otonokizaka?
[12:54] ---
    --Huh?
    --It's close, plus it was my fault
    we couldn't go last time.
[12:57] ---
    --It's close, plus it was my fault
    we couldn't go last time.
[13:02] ---
    --Is it okay?
    --Yeah.
[13:04] ---
    It might be because
    my piano performance went well,
[13:06] ---
    but I kind of want to go now.
    I want to see how I'll feel.
[13:12] ---
    What do you guys think?
[13:14] ---
    I agree!
[13:15] ---
    Why not? Seeing it
    might give us food for thought.
[13:19] ---
    Otonokizaka...
[13:20] ---
    μ's'...
[13:21] ---
    Alma mater!
[13:23] ---
    "Otonokizaka High School Road"
[13:28] ---
    It's up there?
[13:30] ---
    Ooh, I feel kind of nervous!
[13:32] ---
    What'll we do if someone from μ's is there?!
[13:35] ---
    It--It's fine!
[13:37] ---
    Just ask for their a--a--a--autograph,
    a picture, and a handshake.
[13:41] ---
    You're just a fangirl, zura.
[13:44] ---
    --Chika-chan!
    --Hey, no head starts!
[13:45] ---
    --Wait for us!
    --Hey, no head starts!
[13:47] ---
    Zura!
[14:10] ---
    This is where μ's was...
[14:20] ---
    They saved this school...
[14:23] ---
    They entered Love Live...
[14:25] ---
    And performed a miracle...
[14:32] ---
    Umm...
[14:34] ---
    Can I help you?
[14:35] ---
    Has she sensed my presence?
[14:37] ---
    Stop it, zura.
[14:39] ---
    Sorry, we just wanted to have a look around.
[14:42] ---
    Are you by any chance school idols?
[14:45] ---
    Oh, yes. We wanted to learn more
    about μ's, so we came here.
[14:50] ---
    A lot of people do that.
[14:53] ---
    Unfortunately, there's nothing left here.
[14:58] ---
    Huh?
[15:01] ---
    The members of μ's didn't leave anything behind.
[15:07] ---
    All of their things,
    their trophies, their records...
[15:12] ---
    They said their hearts would be connected,
    even without those things.
[15:18] ---
    That's how they wanted it.
[15:22] ---
    Here I go!
[15:24] ---
    Hey, watch it! You'll fall running like that!
[15:27] ---
    It's okay! Ready... go!
[15:40] ---
    --Come on, that's dangerous!
    --Pretty good, huh?
[15:43] ---
    --What do you think?
    --Huh?
[15:44] ---
    Did you find any clues?
[15:48] ---
    Yeah, just a little one. How about you?
[15:52] ---
    Yeah, I'm glad. It's clear to me,
    now that I've come here.
[15:58] ---
    I really liked this school.
[16:17] ---
    Thank you!
[16:37] ---
    Angel Stigma...
[16:41] ---
    So was there any point in us going to Tokyo?
[16:45] ---
    Hmm... I guess it's still
    not clear why μ's was great,
[16:48] ---
    or what was different about them.
[16:53] ---
    What do you think we should do, Kanan?
[16:55] ---
    Me? I... I want to save the school.
[17:01] ---
    But I can't think the way
    those two from St. Snow do.
[17:05] ---
    They remind me of myself,
    when I was a first year... Hmm?
[17:11] ---
    You've grown so big, Kanan!
[17:14] ---
    I'll sue you!
[17:20] ---
    The members of μ's didn't leave anything behind.
[17:25] ---
    That's how they wanted it.
[17:34] ---
    Hey! Why don't we all
    go see the ocean together?
[17:39] ---
    Chika-chan?
[17:54] ---
    It's so beautiful, zura!
[18:04] ---
    I think I get it now...
[18:08] ---
    What was great about μ's.
[18:10] ---
    Really?
[18:12] ---
    I think so. We can't compare ourselves to them.
[18:16] ---
    We can't just chase after μ's,
    or Love Live, or that shine...
[18:23] ---
    What do you mean?
[18:25] ---
    I don't understand at all.
[18:27] ---
    Really? I think I kind of do.
[18:31] ---
    Maybe μ's wasn't about being number 1,
    or about beating other groups.
[18:39] ---
    Yeah. What was great about μ's was that
[18:42] ---
    they ran straight through
    an empty place, a place with nothing.
[18:49] ---
    They were free... and honest...
    and that's why they could fly!
[19:00] ---
    To shine like μ's,
    we can't be chasing after them.
[19:06] ---
    We have to run freely, right?
[19:10] ---
    With all of our bodies and our hearts!
[19:13] ---
    We can't let anything hold us back!
[19:16] ---
    We have to be true to our feelings...
[19:20] ---
    Freely...
[19:21] ---
    Keep running...
[19:23] ---
    On our terms, with our own legs...
[19:27] ---
    I'm getting kind of excited, zura!
[19:29] ---
    --Me, too!
    --It's full speed ahead!
[19:33] ---
    But if we all run freely,
    won't we end up separate?
[19:36] ---
    What are you running towards?
[19:38] ---
    I want to turn the zero into a one.
[19:43] ---
    I don't want it to end like that.
[19:48] ---
    Chika-chan...
[19:50] ---
    That's where I want to go now.
[19:52] ---
    Me, too!
[19:53] ---
    Yeah, everyone does!
[19:56] ---
    I feel like this is really
    going to bring it all together.
[20:00] ---
    It's too late!
[20:02] ---
    We're all shy!
[20:07] ---
    Okay, here we go!
[20:09] ---
    Hang on!
[20:10] ---
    Huh?
[20:11] ---
    Let's do this!
[20:14] ---
    If we all put these together,
    we'll go from zero to one!
[20:19] ---
    --That's great!
    --Right?
[20:21] ---
    Okay, one more time!
[20:26] ---
    From zero to one!
    Let's shine with everything we've got!
[20:31] ---
    Aqours...
[20:33] ---
    Sunshine!
[20:39] ---
    Dear Honoka, I love μ's.
[20:44] ---
    When I saw μ's, all these
    normal girls shining so bright,
[20:48] ---
    I kept wondering how I could be like that,
[20:50] ---
    and if I could be a leader like you.
[20:53] ---
    I finally understand.
[20:56] ---
    I'm fine the way I am.
[20:59] ---
    I can look at my friends,
    at all the things around me,
[21:03] ---
    and run on, straight ahead.
[21:07] ---
    That's what μ's is.
    That's what it means to shine.
[21:14] ---
    That's why I will find my own place.
[21:19] ---
    I'm not going to follow you,
    I'm going to run forward,
[21:21] ---
    in search of my own place...
[21:26] ---
    With everyone. Someday. Someday...
[22:15] ---
    We steadily make our way outside,
    searching for something more
[22:21] ---
    When you give things a try,
    you often find unexpected happiness
[22:28] ---
    As we struggle, as we get laughed at
[22:33] ---
    We won't give in or give up!
    Though we may cry a bit!
[22:36] ---
    But that's fine,
    because our tomorrow's coming into view
[22:42] ---
    Let's not tell our dreams in words;
    let's tell them in song
[22:49] ---
    Because I think a song
    will convey how we feel right now
[22:54] ---
    Putting dreams into words
    lets us put them into songs
[23:03] ---
    This growing feeling
    is a series of favorite melodies
[23:12] ---
    It's time to stop running away
    and move on to someplace new
[23:22] ---
    Singing my song for my dream!
[23:35] ---
    Next time: "Sunshine!"
