[00:00] ---
    Last time on Love Live! Sunshine!!
[00:03] ---
    Spring. Chika-chan, who looks up to μ's, decides
[00:03] ---
    "School Idol Club" "School Idol Love"
[00:05] ---
    to start a School Idol Club at her own school.
[00:09] ---
    I cannot accept this application.
[00:10] ---
    Then, Chika-chan meets a girl
    from Tokyo who plays piano,
[00:14] ---
    and tells her about wanting to be a school idol.
[00:16] ---
    Let go!
[00:17] ---
    I want to do this with my friends, too.
[00:20] ---
    In order to be a school idol, Chika-chan
[00:21] ---
    looks for a student who can compose music.
[00:24] ---
    Before she finds anybody, Riko-chan, the girl
[00:26] ---
    she met by the sea, transfers to her school.
[00:28] ---
    It's a miracle!
[00:30] ---
    Otonokizaka High first year, Riko Sakurauchi.
[00:35] ---
    Performing, "Those Who Return to the Sea."
[01:07] ---
    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
[01:41] ---
    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
[02:05] ---
    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
[02:38] ---
    I'm sorry.
[02:39] ---
    Like I said, a school idol is someone who--
[02:39] ---
    "Catch the Transfer Student!"
[02:44] ---
    Aw...
[02:46] ---
    I'm sorry.
[02:47] ---
    They can even save the school
    and are really amazing--
[02:56] ---
    Aw...
[02:59] ---
    We really need someone
    who can compose music!
[03:02] ---
    I'm sorry!
[03:04] ---
    Wait--
[03:06] ---
    What's she doing?
[03:08] ---
    One, two! One, two!
[03:11] ---
    One, two! One, two!
[03:12] ---
    --No luck?
    --One, two! One, two!
[03:14] ---
    Nope. Just one more step
    and a little shove in the right direction.
[03:19] ---
    You really think so?
[03:25] ---
    Oomph.
[03:26] ---
    At first, she was like, "I'm sorry!"
[03:29] ---
    But now, it's become more of a "... I'm sorry."
[03:35] ---
    I think she's just getting annoyed.
[03:37] ---
    No problem. If worst comes to worst, here!
[03:39] ---
    "Music"
[03:41] ---
    I'll make it work out.
[03:42] ---
    It's probably better if we
    don't think of that as an option.
[03:46] ---
    Anyway, how are things on your end?
[03:48] ---
    Oh!
[03:49] ---
    I have some drawings.
[03:51] ---
    Oh...
[03:52] ---
    Well?
[03:53] ---
    Pretty amazing. But, this looks
    closer to a uniform than a costume.
[03:58] ---
    Are there any with skirts or something?
[04:00] ---
    I do! See?
[04:02] ---
    Oh, these still don't really
    look like costumes. Got anything cuter?
[04:08] ---
    Then, you'll love this. Here!
[04:10] ---
    I don't know about the weapon.
[04:12] ---
    Isn't it cute?
[04:13] ---
    It's not cute! It's scary!
[04:16] ---
    Huh?
[04:18] ---
    I was thinking cute,
    like what a school idol would wear.
[04:21] ---
    I thought you'd say that.
    So I came up with this, too. Here!
[04:25] ---
    Oh, wow, it's so sparkly!
[04:28] ---
    Right?
[04:29] ---
    Can you make this?
[04:31] ---
    Yup, of course. Leave it to me!
[04:33] ---
    Really? All right.
    This is no time to be discouraged!
[04:38] ---
    The answer is no.
[04:40] ---
    --You, too?!
    --I thought so.
[04:42] ---
    "New Club Application Form"
[04:42] ---
    I believe I said you need five people.
[04:45] ---
    Before I go into that,
    what about your composer?
[04:48] ---
    About that, maybe, eventually,
    for sure, there are limitless possibilities!
[04:56] ---
    But, it must've been tough for U's, too,
[04:59] ---
    when they only had three people starting off.
[05:02] ---
    You know about them?
[05:04] ---
    The Otonokizaka High group that won the second Love Live. U's!
[05:12] ---
    Can it be, that you're talking about μ's?
[05:20] ---
    Oh, is it pronounced, muse?
[05:24] ---
    Quiet, you!
[05:28] ---
    You heard her. There are
    too many hurdles to overcome!
[05:33] ---
    You give up?
[05:34] ---
    No way!
[05:36] ---
    That's the spirit.
[05:38] ---
    How dare you mistaken their name?! Hm?
[05:44] ---
    In the school idol world, μ's are legendary.
[05:46] ---
    They're the holy ground, holy scripture,
[05:48] ---
    the origin of life equivalent to the universe.
[05:51] ---
    And you mistaken their name?!
[05:53] ---
    Absolutely ridiculous.
[05:56] ---
    A-Aren't you a little close?
[05:59] ---
    Oh, Hanamaru-chan! Hey!
[06:04] ---
    Oh, hello.
[06:07] ---
    She really is adorable!
[06:13] ---
    Oh, Ruby's there, too!
[06:17] ---
    So, you just stumbled upon them, and with your
[06:20] ---
    scarce knowledge, thought you'd imitate them?
[06:24] ---
    That's not...
[06:25] ---
    Then, can you tell me what the first song
    μ's sang as a group of nine?
[06:31] ---
    Uh, um...
[06:33] ---
    You're wrong!
[06:36] ---
    There, there. I'm not scary. You want it?
[06:45] ---
    Whoops.
[06:48] ---
    Oh!
[06:49] ---
    Over here.
[06:53] ---
    All right!
[06:56] ---
    Got you!
[07:00] ---
    "Bokura no Live Kimi to no Life,"
    shortened as "Borarara."
[07:04] ---
    Next. What venue did μ's
[07:06] ---
    and A-RISE choose during the second Love Live prelims?
[07:10] ---
    Venue?
[07:13] ---
    Wrong again!
[07:15] ---
    The rooftop of Akihabara's UTX High.
[07:18] ---
    It was the prelims against the legendary A-RISE.
[07:21] ---
    --Next. During the second Love Live finals,
    what did μ's sing for the encore?
[07:26] ---
    --I know! "Bokura wa Ima no Naka de."
[07:30] ---
    However...
[07:32] ---
    A school idol?
[07:34] ---
    It's super fun. You wanna try?
[07:36] ---
    Oh, no. I have duties as library helper, zura.
[07:40] ---
    I mean, library helper.
[07:42] ---
    You do? What about you, Ruby-chan?
[07:46] ---
    Oh, I, well... my sister...
[07:50] ---
    Your sister?
[07:52] ---
    Ruby-chan is Dia-san's little sister, zura.
[07:54] ---
    Huh? The student council president?
[07:57] ---
    She doesn't like school idols for some reason.
[08:01] ---
    Yeah...
[08:02] ---
    However, who were the four
    who skipped the beginning of the song?
[08:07] ---
    What?!
[08:08] ---
    Wrong, and wrong again!
[08:16] ---
    Eli Ayase, Nozomi Tojo,
    Rin Hoshizora, and Maki Nishikino.
[08:21] ---
    This is basic knowledge.
[08:23] ---
    W-Wow. Are you actually a μ's fan?
[08:28] ---
    Of course. Who do you think I am--
[08:32] ---
    I mean, this is general knowledge!
[08:35] ---
    Oh?
[08:36] ---
    A-Anyway, I will not allow a School Idol Club!
[08:46] ---
    It might be better if we
    focus on writing a song, first.
[08:50] ---
    She might change her mind.
[08:52] ---
    Yeah. Where are you
    getting off, Hanamaru-chan?
[08:56] ---
    I'm dropping off a notebook in Numazu today.
[08:59] ---
    A notebook?
[09:00] ---
    "Introductions"
[09:00] ---
    Yes. On our first day of school...
[09:04] ---
    Do you want to make a deal with fallen angel,
[09:06] ---
    Yohane, and become my little demon?
[09:09] ---
    I'm in a pinch!
[09:18] ---
    She hasn't come to school since, zura.
[09:21] ---
    I see.
[09:25] ---
    See you!
[09:31] ---
    Sakurauchi-san!
[09:36] ---
    You're not thinking of
    jumping in the ocean again?
[09:40] ---
    I am not!
[09:42] ---
    Oh, good.
[09:43] ---
    Even if you follow me all the way out here,
    my answer won't change.
[09:48] ---
    Hm? Oh, no. I was just passing through.
[09:52] ---
    Oh, did you get to
    hear the sound of the ocean?
[10:00] ---
    Then, are you free next Sunday?
[10:02] ---
    Why do you ask?
[10:04] ---
    Come here around noon.
[10:06] ---
    You might be able to hear the sound of the ocean.
[10:09] ---
    And you'll force me to be
    a school idol if I hear it, right?
[10:13] ---
    That would be nice,
    but I want you to hear the songs first.
[10:18] ---
    The songs?
[10:19] ---
    You don't know anything
    about school idols, right?
[10:22] ---
    So, I want you to know more about them.
[10:25] ---
    No?
[10:28] ---
    I told you that I play piano, right?
[10:32] ---
    Yeah.
[10:33] ---
    I've played ever since I was little.
[10:37] ---
    But, I haven't been able to
    improve recently, no matter how I try.
[10:40] ---
    And I haven't had motivation.
    So I thought I'd have a change in scenery.
[10:45] ---
    If I could hear the sound of the ocean,
[10:47] ---
    I thought maybe something would change.
[10:52] ---
    Something will change. I know it.
[10:57] ---
    Easier said than done.
[10:59] ---
    I know. But, I just have a feeling it will.
[11:04] ---
    You're so strange.
[11:08] ---
    Anyway, I don't have time
    to be a school idol. Sorry.
[11:14] ---
    Got it. Then, let's just go and
    listen to the sound of the ocean.
[11:19] ---
    It'll have nothing to do
    with being a school idol.
[11:21] ---
    --Hm?
    --That's okay, right?
[11:30] ---
    You really are strange.
[11:34] ---
    Love Live! Sunshine!!
[11:37] ---
    You transferred from Otonokizaka High?
[11:40] ---
    Yeah! The one μ's attends!
[11:42] ---
    Are they that famous?
[11:43] ---
    Oh, you didn't know?
[11:50] ---
    Imagine?
[11:51] ---
    Human ears can't hear well underwater.
[11:55] ---
    But, the scenery there is very different from here.
[11:58] ---
    It'll work if you imagine it from what you see.
[12:01] ---
    So, I need to use my imagination?
[12:05] ---
    Yup, that's right. Can you do it?
[12:08] ---
    I'll try it.
[12:20] ---
    Anything?
[12:22] ---
    Nothing.
[12:23] ---
    Imagine it? It does sound hard.
[12:27] ---
    It's not easy. It's pitch black down there, too.
[12:30] ---
    --Pitch black?
    --Oh, I know! Can we go down again?
[13:40] ---
    Did you hear it?
[13:42] ---
    Yeah.
[13:43] ---
    I think I heard it, too.
[13:45] ---
    Yeah, me too.
[13:58] ---
    What? No way!
[14:00] ---
    Really?
[14:02] ---
    --Yes.
    --Thanks!
[14:04] ---
    Thanks--woah!
[14:08] ---
    Wait. Are you misunderstanding me?
[14:10] ---
    Huh?
[14:11] ---
    I said I would help writing songs,
    not become a school idol.
[14:16] ---
    --What?
    --I don't have time for that.
[14:19] ---
    Oh, right.
[14:20] ---
    We can't force her.
[14:22] ---
    I know.
[14:24] ---
    Now, give me the lines.
[14:25] ---
    Lines?
[14:27] ---
    Lines.
[14:29] ---
    Lines?
[14:30] ---
    Lines!
[14:32] ---
    ♪ What are lines? ♪
[14:34] ---
    ♪ They're probably the lyrics. ♪
[14:37] ---
    --Lyrics?
    --Lyrics?
[14:39] ---
    Oh? Isn't this an inn?
[14:42] ---
    --It is.
    --We can take our time here.
[14:46] ---
    It's close to the bus stop,
    so it's easy to get home, too.
[14:49] ---
    Welcome. Oh, You-chan! Cute as ever.
[14:55] ---
    Is that the girl you were
    talking about, Chika-chan?
[14:56] ---
    Yup. This is Shima-neechan.
[15:00] ---
    I'm Riko Sakurauchi.
[15:02] ---
    Nice to meet you.
[15:04] ---
    She's quite pretty.
[15:06] ---
    Isn't she? She really looks like
    she's from Tokyo, right?
[15:10] ---
    Quite right. There's not much here,
    but make yourselves at home.
[15:15] ---
    Shima-nee.
[15:16] ---
    Mito-nee. Hey, is that my pudding?!
[15:22] ---
    Wait! That's my pudding!
[15:28] ---
    So mean! Shima-nee bought that limited edition pudding in Tokyo for me.
[15:32] ---
    Terrible, right?
[15:35] ---
    Why don't we start on the lyrics.
[15:37] ---
    It's your fault for not eating earlier.
[15:40] ---
    Shut it!
[15:42] ---
    Too slow. Hah!
[15:45] ---
    Oh no!
[15:50] ---
    Excuse me.
[15:52] ---
    Now let's get start--
[15:53] ---
    You-chan, did you get a smartphone?
[15:56] ---
    Yup, for finishing our first year.
[15:57] ---
    No fair.
[15:59] ---
    "Morning Café" "Open 8 AM"
[16:00] ---
    Run, Shiitake!
[16:04] ---
    We are starting now.
[16:09] ---
    Yes, ma'am.
[16:11] ---
    Hm...
[16:15] ---
    Maybe a love song is too hard.
[16:17] ---
    No. I want to make a song
    like μ's "Snow halation."
[16:20] ---
    Yeah, but...
[16:22] ---
    You have no love experience, right?
[16:24] ---
    You can't assume that.
[16:26] ---
    You do?
[16:27] ---
    Well, no.
[16:28] ---
    I knew it. It's impossible then.
[16:31] ---
    Wait, so does that mean that when they made this song,
[16:35] ---
    someone in μ's had love experience?
[16:37] ---
    Let me look it up.
[16:39] ---
    Why are you doing that now?
    Aren't we writing lyrics?
[16:43] ---
    But, I'm curious.
[16:46] ---
    Chika-chan is in love with school idols, huh?
[16:49] ---
    Yes, she is.
[16:56] ---
    What?
[16:57] ---
    Did you hear what we just said?
[16:59] ---
    Can't you write something using the love
[17:03] ---
    and heart pounding feelings you have for them?
[17:10] ---
    Yup, I can! I can write as much
    as you want with those feelings!
[17:14] ---
    First is how bright they shine, right? Then...
[17:22] ---
    Riko-chan, you're such a good pianist.
[17:26] ---
    That's because I feel like I'm flying
    when I'm playing piano.
[17:30] ---
    I become all sparkly, like the stars!
[17:36] ---
    Here!
[17:37] ---
    You're done already?
[17:39] ---
    It's just for reference.
    I want to make a song like this.
[17:43] ---
    "Yume no Tobira"
[17:44] ---
    Yume no Tobira?
[17:46] ---
    It was after listening to this song
    that I seriously wanted to be a school idol,
[17:50] ---
    to be like μ's.
[17:53] ---
    Like μ's?
[17:54] ---
    Yeah. To do my best, put in effort,
    and work together to make miracles.
[18:00] ---
    It made me think that even I could do it and that
[18:04] ---
    I could change from the current me.
[18:07] ---
    You really do like them.
[18:10] ---
    Yup. I love them!
[18:34] ---
    Even though they were normal
    high schoolers like me, they were shining.
[18:41] ---
    And I realized that school idols
    could be this radiant!
[19:32] ---
    ♪ I've been looking for the door of dreams ♪
[19:40] ---
    ♪ I was searching for our connection ♪
[19:57] ---
    Takami-san?
[19:58] ---
    Riko-chan! That's your room?
[20:02] ---
    Oh, I didn't realize since I just moved in.
[20:06] ---
    You were just playing "Yume no Tobira," right?
[20:08] ---
    --You were singing it, right?
    --No, I was...
[20:13] ---
    "I've been looking for the door of dreams."
[20:18] ---
    Yes, I was.
[20:20] ---
    --I love that song. From the second Love Live--
[20:23] ---
    --Takami-san.
    --I love that song. From the second Love Live--
[20:24] ---
    --Takami-san.
    --Huh?
[20:26] ---
    What should I do?
[20:29] ---
    Nothing that I do is fun. And nothing changes.
[20:34] ---
    Riko-chan.
[20:37] ---
    Do you wanna be a school idol?
[20:40] ---
    I can't. I can't quit piano.
[20:45] ---
    Try it, and if you can smile and change,
    you can go back to piano.
[20:50] ---
    You won't be quitting.
[20:53] ---
    It'd be rude to try being
    a school idol with that kind of motivation
[20:58] ---
    when you're trying so hard.
[21:03] ---
    If it helps you, that makes me happy.
[21:07] ---
    Putting smiles on peoples' faces
    is what a school idol is about.
[21:14] ---
    Chika-chan!
[21:19] ---
    And that's a wonderful thing!
[21:32] ---
    We probably can't reach.
[21:34] ---
    Wait! Don't quit!
[22:16] ---
    We steadily make our way outside,
    searching for something more
[22:22] ---
    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

    This growing feeling
    is a series of favorite melodies
[23:12] ---

    and move on to someplace new

[23:36] ---
    "First Step!"
