[00:00] ---
    Last time on, Love Live! Sunshine!!
[00:02] ---
    Chika-chan continued to scout out
    the transfer student from Tokyo.
[00:05] ---
    I'm sorry!
[00:07] ---
    Wait--ooph.
[00:08] ---
    --Did you hear it?
    --Yeah.
[00:10] ---
    Then, the three heard the sound of the ocean,
[00:13] ---
    and that triggered
    the start of their song writing.
[00:15] ---
    --Lyrics?
    --Lyrics?
[00:18] ---
    While writing the song, I became
    drawn to the idea of being a school idol.
[00:21] ---
    That's a wonderful thing!
[00:26] ---
    New events now unfold.
[00:30] ---
    One, two, three, four.
[00:36] ---
    One, two, three, four.
[00:41] ---
    --Let's stop there.
    --One, two, three, four.
[00:44] ---
    --Play.
    --One, two, three, four.
[00:45] ---
    --How is it?
    --One, two, three, four.
[00:46] ---
    I feel like we've gotten much better.
[00:48] ---
    But, our kick here isn't sharp,
    and this move here...
[00:52] ---
    Ah, you're right.
[00:54] ---
    It's amazing that you noticed immediately.
[00:57] ---
    I used to do high diving,
    so I'm good at analyzing form.
[01:00] ---
    How's our rhythm?
[01:01] ---
    It's pretty good,
    but Chika-chan is a little late.
[01:04] ---
    It's me?!
[01:11] ---
    What's that?
[01:13] ---
    It's an Ohara family helicopter.
[01:14] ---
    Ohara family?
[01:15] ---
    They run a hotel in Awashima.
[01:17] ---
    I heard our new director
    is from the Ohara family.
[01:20] ---
    Really?
[01:25] ---
    Is it getting closer?
[01:27] ---
    You're imagining it.
[01:29] ---
    But...
[01:32] ---
    What's going on?!
[01:37] ---
    Ciao!
[01:41] ---
    Chasing down the path
    of a dream I've never seen
[01:57] ---
    Shining Road
[01:58] ---
    This feeling of being off to the races
[02:02] ---
    I searched for you energetically,
    straight and true
[02:07] ---
    No way we can wait one second,
    let's leap out there
[02:11] ---
    The courage we have in us is clamoring
[02:15] ---
    The everyday world takes new doors
[02:21] ---
    (More) And hides them
[02:23] ---
    (Let's go!) I want to open them all
[02:28] ---
    Come on, let's do it together!
[02:30] ---
    I want to start it! My story!
    (Here, now's the time)
[02:35] ---
    Blue skies are waiting
[02:40] ---
    Hug that dream tight, and Jumping Heart
[02:43] ---
    Just with that, I can move on to tomorrow,
    youth full speed ahead?!
[02:49] ---
    From when it began (Sunshine Story)
[02:54] ---
    Cherish that thrill in our hearts always
[02:59] ---
    We'll go out to catch our dreams
[03:02] ---
    Not knowing what might happen
    is part of the fun
[03:11] ---
    "Director's Office"
[03:13] ---
    What?
[03:13] ---
    "Director's Office"
    "#3 First Step"
[03:14] ---
    Our new director?
[03:14] ---
    "#3 First Step"
[03:15] ---
    Yes! But relax, feel free to call me "Mari."
[03:21] ---
    But...
[03:22] ---
    Want some tea?
[03:24] ---
    Excuse me, Ms. Director?
[03:25] ---
    I said to call me "Mari."
[03:27] ---
    M-Mari... that school uniform...
[03:31] ---
    Does it look funny?
[03:33] ---
    --I made sure to have a third years' ribbon.
[03:36] ---
    --Aren't you the director?
    --I made sure to have a third years' ribbon.
[03:37] ---
    Yes, but! I'm a third year at this school.
[03:40] ---
    I'm a student and the director.
    Like a curry beef bowl!
[03:44] ---
    I don't understand the comparison.
[03:46] ---
    You don't get it?!
[03:47] ---
    Of course she doesn't understand!
[03:50] ---
    Student Council President?
[03:51] ---
    Oh, Dia. It's been so long! You've grown.
[03:56] ---
    Please don't touch me.
[03:58] ---
    Your chest hasn't changed.
[04:00] ---
    Stop your nonsense!
[04:02] ---
    --Please.
    --It was a joke.
[04:04] ---
    Goodness, I thought you were gone for good
[04:07] ---
    when you left during our first year.
[04:09] ---
    Why on earth are you back now?
[04:12] ---
    Shiny!
[04:14] ---
    I see you still don't listen
    when others are talking.
[04:18] ---
    It was a joke.
[04:19] ---
    Anyway, you don't expect
    us to believe that a
[04:22] ---
    third year is our director, do you?
[04:25] ---
    That part isn't a joke.
[04:27] ---
    Huh?
SIGN    "Letter of Appointment" "Uranohoshi Girls' High School Third Year" "Ms. Mari Ohara" "You are hereby appointed" "Director of Uranohoshi Girl's High School"
[04:28] ---
    My home, the Ohara family,
    contributed a hefty amount to this school.
[04:34] ---
    --No way!
    --What, why?!
[04:37] ---
    I heard a rumor that
    Uranohoshi now has school idols.
[04:42] ---
    That can't be. That's why?
[04:44] ---
    Yup! It's sad if you're
    forever getting in their way,
[04:47] ---
    so I came to support them.
[04:49] ---
    Is that true?
[04:50] ---
    Yes. Now that I'm here,
    you have nothing to worry about.
[04:54] ---
    I've booked Akiba Dome
    for your debut concert.
[04:58] ---
    Wh-What?! It's so sudden.
[05:00] ---
    I-It's a miracle!
[05:02] ---
    That was a joke!
[05:04] ---
    Please don't put all that
    effort in for just a joke.
[05:07] ---
    Actually...
[05:11] ---
    Here?
[05:12] ---
    Yes. If you can get a full house here,
[05:15] ---
    I'll approve the formation of your club,
[05:17] ---
    no matter how many members you have.
[05:20] ---
    Really?
[05:21] ---
    You'll have a club budget, too!
[05:22] ---
    What if we don't have enough people?
[05:24] ---
    Then, you'll have no choice but to disband.
[05:27] ---
    What? But, that's...
[05:29] ---
    If you dislike it, you can refuse.
[05:33] ---
    --What will you do?
    --What do you think?
[05:35] ---
    This place is pretty big.
[05:38] ---
    Call it quits?
[05:38] ---
    We have to do it!
[05:40] ---
    We have no other choice!
[05:42] ---
    You're right.
[05:43] ---
    Okay. Then, our deal is on.
[05:49] ---
    --Wait!
    --Hm?
[05:50] ---
    How many students do we have here?
[05:53] ---
    Let's see... uh-oh!
[05:56] ---
    What is it?
[05:57] ---
    Don't you see?
[05:58] ---
    Even if we get all the students,
[06:02] ---
    we won't fill this room.
[06:06] ---
    No way.
[06:08] ---
    Do you think Mari-san knew already?
[06:17] ---
    What should we do?
[06:19] ---
    I understand Mari-san's point.
[06:22] ---
    If we can't do this, we
    won't make it down the road.
[06:25] ---
    We finally made our song!
[06:27] ---
    We still have to work on our dancing, though.
[06:29] ---
    --You wanna call it quits?
    --I'm not quitting!
[06:32] ---
    Why do you talk to her that way?
[06:33] ---
    Chika-chan gets more fired up this way.
[06:37] ---
    Next stop, Izumi and Sea Paradise.
[06:40] ---
    "Stop"
[06:40] ---
    Arrived at Izumi and Sea Paradise.
[06:41] ---
    Oh, yeah!
[06:43] ---
    Next up is the weather.
[06:43] ---
    Please! You know other workers, right?
[06:45] ---
    Tomorrow's weather
    in the Tokai region will be...
[06:46] ---
    Yeah, I guess I do.
[06:48] ---
    About how many?
[06:49] ---
    About two hundred, counting the main branch.
[06:52] ---
    Two hundred?!
[06:54] ---
    You see, we're having a
    concert as school idols
[06:55] ---
    "We're Having a Concert!!"
    "Uranohoshi Gym"
[06:58] ---
    at the beginning of next month.
[07:00] ---
    You? A school idol?!
[07:02] ---
    And I was thinking that
    it'd be nice if you came, too.
[07:05] ---
    And invited about
    two hundred of your co-workers.
[07:10] ---
    We won't have approval for our club
    if we don't have a full house!
[07:13] ---
    So, please!
[07:16] ---
    "Stupid Chika"
[07:17] ---
    That's strange. It was the perfect plan.
[07:21] ---
    I get how your sister's feeling, though.
[07:24] ---
    What? You're siding with my sister?!
[07:26] ---
    Huh? Where's Riko-chan?
[07:28] ---
    She said she was going to the bathroom...
[07:34] ---
    Oh, what are you doing?
[07:36] ---
    Anyway, we need to figure out
    how to get people to come.
[07:40] ---
    Yeah. We need to think of something.
[07:43] ---
    What if we advertise it on the town speakers?
[07:45] ---
    We should be able to if we ask.
[07:47] ---
    Then there's Numazu.
    There are a lot of high schools there,
[07:52] ---
    so there should be students
    interested in school idols there.
[07:57] ---
    "Morning Café" "Open 8 AM"
[08:05] ---
    Not as many people as Tokyo,
    but it does feel more urban here.
[08:09] ---
    People should be coming back
    from club activities soon.
[08:12] ---
    All right! Let's do some flyering!
[08:15] ---
    Excuse me, please come!
[08:19] ---
    Huh?
[08:20] ---
    It's harder than it sounds.
[08:22] ---
    This is where enthusiasm
    and timing come in! Just watch.
[08:25] ---
    We're having a concert! Please come!
[08:26] ---
    "We're Having a Concert!!"
[08:28] ---
    --A concert?
    --Yes!
[08:30] ---
    You'll be performing?
[08:31] ---
    Yes! Please come!
[08:33] ---
    Sunday? You wanna go?
[08:35] ---
    Yeah!
[08:36] ---
    Thank you!
[08:38] ---
    --Amazing!
    --All right! My turn!
[08:42] ---
    We're having a concert. You better come.
[08:45] ---
    Huh? U-Um...
[08:46] ---
    You better.
[08:49] ---
    O-Okay...
[08:50] ---
    Victory!
[08:51] ---
    Why is this a competition?
[08:53] ---
    It's your turn next.
[08:55] ---
    Me?
[08:56] ---
    Of course! We only have three people.
[08:59] ---
    --Please come!
    --Well, I know but...
[09:02] ---
    --Please come!
    --I'm not good at these things.
[09:05] ---
    Excuse me. We're having a concert.
[09:06] ---
    "We're Having a Concert!!"
[09:08] ---
    Come.
[09:10] ---
    What are you doing?
[09:11] ---
    I'm just practicing.
[09:13] ---
    There's no time for practice. Go!
[09:15] ---
    Chika-chan? Hey, wh--!
[09:18] ---
    Oh, I'm sorry.
[09:21] ---
    Uh, er...
[09:23] ---
    Please come!
[09:27] ---
    Uh...
[09:32] ---
    I did it!
[09:34] ---
    She looked kind of familiar...
[09:37] ---
    "Special Regional Idols Edition"
[09:39] ---
    You know what you want?
[09:40] ---
    Yup!
[09:41] ---
    I'm getting this!
[09:42] ---
    You really like idols, don't you.
[09:45] ---
    What are you getting?
[09:46] ---
    I'm getting these.
[09:48] ---
    S-So much.
[09:50] ---
    --Please come!
    --Please come!
[09:52] ---
    --Please come!
    --Please come!
[09:55] ---
    Oh, Hanamaru-chan!
[09:57] ---
    Hanamaru-chan! Here!
[10:00] ---
    A concert?
[10:01] ---
    You should come, too!
[10:03] ---
    You're having a concert?
[10:04] ---
    Huh?
[10:11] ---
    We really want to have a full house.
    So please come, Ruby-chan.
[10:19] ---
    I'm off. I have to pass more flyers out.
[10:22] ---
    Uh, er...!
[10:25] ---
    Wh-What is your group's name?
[10:29] ---
    Our group's... name?
[10:32] ---
    "We're Having a Concert!!"
[10:38] ---
    Love Live! Sunshine!!
[10:42] ---
    I can't believe we didn't have a name yet.
[10:44] ---
    You forgot about it, too.
[10:47] ---
    Anyway, let's hurry and decide on one.
[10:50] ---
    Yeah, we might as well
    put our school name into it.
[10:55] ---
    Like, "Uranohoshi School Girls"?
[10:57] ---
    Stating the obvious.
[10:58] ---
    Then you come up with one, Riko-chan.
[11:00] ---
    --Huh?
    --Yeah. Use hip words from Tokyo.
[11:04] ---
    Yeah, go ahead!
[11:06] ---
    Uh, hm...
[11:08] ---
    ...how about "Three Mermaids"
    since we met by the sea?
[11:14] ---
    One, two, three, four,
[11:16] ---
    --Wait! Forget I said that!
    --five, six, seven, eight.
[11:18] ---
    Any ideas, You-chan?
[11:21] ---
    Hm...
[11:22] ---
    "School Uniform Girls' Squad." Well?
[11:25] ---
    --I'll pass.
    --Yeah.
[11:26] ---
    What?!
[11:28] ---
    "Mikan" "Wave Girls"
[11:33] ---
    "Seafood"
[11:35] ---
    This kind of thing works best by going
    with the first thing somebody says.
[11:38] ---
    Agreed!
[11:40] ---
    Back to square one!
[11:41] ---
    You're okay with "School
    Uniform Girls' Squad," then?
[11:44] ---
    It's better than "Three Mermaids."
[11:46] ---
    I told you to forget that one!
[11:48] ---
    Well...
[11:55] ---
    How do you pronounce this?
[11:57] ---
    "A-q-ours"?
[11:59] ---
    "A-cue-ah"?
[12:00] ---
    Is it, "aqua"?
[12:02] ---
    Like water?
[12:07] ---
    Water?
[12:09] ---
    Doesn't it sound like a pretty good name?
[12:12] ---
    You want to use it, even though
    we don't know who wrote it?
[12:15] ---
    That's why it's perfect.
[12:16] ---
    We stumbled across it when we were
    trying to come up with a name.
[12:20] ---
    Shouldn't we cherish it?
[12:23] ---
    You're right.
[12:24] ---
    We'll never come up
    with a name at this rate, anyway.
[12:27] ---
    Then, that's set!
[12:28] ---
    In our gratitude to this fateful meeting,
    our group will be named...
[12:33] ---
    The school idols of Uranohoshi Girls'
    High School. We're Aqours!
[12:37] ---
    Wait! We haven't been approved
    as a club by the school yet.
[12:43] ---
    Then, okay. The unofficial idols of
    Uranohoshi Girls' High School. We're Aqours!
[12:48] ---
    This Saturday at 2PM, we'll have
    a concert at Uranohoshi's gym--
[12:54] ---
    I don't know how I feel about "unofficial."
[12:56] ---
    Then, what do you want me to say?!
[13:01] ---
    Please come.
[13:01] ---
    "We're Having a Concert!!"
[13:02] ---
    Please!
[13:04] ---
    Thank you.
[13:05] ---
    We're next!
[13:07] ---
    Ready, go. Full speed ahead!
[13:11] ---
    Aye aye!
[13:14] ---
    You-chan's popular, as expected.
[13:17] ---
    Help out?
[13:18] ---
    Yeah!
[13:19] ---
    --Sure.
    --Really?
[13:21] ---
    Of course.
[13:25] ---
    --Oh, how gorgeous!
    --Oh, how gorgeous!
[13:28] ---
    Instead of stepping here,
    wouldn't it be better
[13:31] ---
    to move like this so we
    can face the audience?
[13:34] ---
    Then I'll go around here
    and go into the chorus?
[13:38] ---
    Will you make it?
    Chika-chan, what do you think?
[13:45] ---
    Let's call it a day.
[13:47] ---
    Yeah.
[13:48] ---
    Ah, look at the time!
    The buses aren't running anymore.
[13:53] ---
    What?!
[13:56] ---
    Yeah. Okay.
[14:00] ---
    Are you okay?
[14:01] ---
    Yes. They scolded me
    and said not to do it again.
[14:05] ---
    You girls really are crazy about this.
[14:08] ---
    I didn't think Chika-chan
    would be so absorbed.
[14:11] ---
    Really?
[14:12] ---
    She's like this now,
    but you know she tires of things easily.
[14:16] ---
    It's not that she gets
    tired of things easily.
[14:18] ---
    She just doesn't like
    doing things half-heartedly.
[14:21] ---
    She's not satisfied until
    she does something with all she's got.
[14:25] ---
    I see. You really understand her.
[14:29] ---
    Do you think the concert will go smoothly?
[14:36] ---
    Yeah, I hope so.
[14:40] ---
    A full house, huh?
[14:42] ---
    There aren't many people around these parts.
[14:47] ---
    Don't worry.
[14:50] ---
    Everybody here is warmhearted.
[15:05] ---
    I'm not used to this.
[15:07] ---
    Are you sure it's okay for it to be so short?
[15:10] ---
    Don't worry. Even for
    μ's first concert... see, look!
SIGN    "We're Having a Concert!!" "Uranohoshi Gym" "Please come!"
[15:16] ---
    Huh. I shouldn't have become a school idol.
[15:21] ---
    It's all good! Once you get on stage,
    you'll forget about it.
[15:24] ---
    It's almost time. What do we do again?
[15:28] ---
    Well, we pile our hands in the middle...
[15:32] ---
    --Wanna hold hands?
    --Huh?
[15:34] ---
    If we hold hands like this... see?
[15:40] ---
    It is.
[15:43] ---
    It's raining, huh.
[15:45] ---
    I wonder if people will come.
[15:47] ---
    If they don't come...
[15:50] ---
    Then, we'll quit and it'll end here.
[15:56] ---
    Come on, let's go! Let's shine
    with everything we've got!
[16:01] ---
    Aqours! Sunshine!
[16:38] ---
    We're school idols--ready go!
[16:42] ---
    We're Aqours!
[16:44] ---
    The brilliance,
[16:45] ---
    the will to not give up,
[16:46] ---
    and the power to believe
    are what we look up to.
[16:48] ---
    That's why we became school idols.
[16:53] ---
    Our goal is to be like
    the school idols, μ's!
[16:57] ---
    Please listen!
[17:04] ---
    Sparkle! I noticed the new thrill in my heart
[17:10] ---
    Because of you, standing there in front of me
[17:27] ---
    "I want to try!"
[17:28] ---
    My heart's in motion now,
    but it's still uncertain
[17:37] ---
    Maybe fate is what made it start up anyway
[17:42] ---
    I think our feelings will connect!
[17:47] ---
    This world is full of things I don't know
[17:52] ---
    (What should I do?)
    Still, the excitement has me walking on air
[17:57] ---
    (Jump!)
    Still, the excitement has me walking on air
[17:58] ---
    I'll make sure
    we're equally pumped up someday
[18:03] ---
    I'm feeling fine, gonna keep a good attitude
[18:24] ---
    Ch-Chika...
[18:26] ---
    What should we...
[18:28] ---
    What should we do?
[18:39] ---
    I think our feelings will connect!
[18:49] ---
    This world is full of
    things I don't know
[18:56] ---
    Still, the excitement
    has me walking on air
[19:01] ---
    I'll make sure we're
    equally pumped up someday
[19:08] ---
    I'm feeling fine...
    gonna keep a good attitude...
[19:31] ---
    Stupid Chika!
[19:33] ---
    You told me the wrong start time!
[20:04] ---
    I really am Stupid Chika.
[20:10] ---
    Sparkle!
[20:13] ---
    Sparkle! When I noticed
    the new thrill in my heart
[20:18] ---
    You were standing there
    (there you were) in front of me
[20:24] ---
    Sparkle! I've discovered I can be passionate
[20:29] ---
    This light (it's so beautiful)
    will sparkle brighter (brilliant hope)
[20:35] ---
    As long as I've got love, I'll be okay!
[21:04] ---
    They said...
[21:06] ---
    ...that school idols
    will become more widespread.
[21:09] ---
    That they can go anywhere,
    and make any dream come true.
[21:15] ---
    This was successful only because
    of the efforts of previous school idols
[21:18] ---
    and the town's good will.
[21:21] ---
    Make no mistake of that!
[21:24] ---
    I know!
[21:27] ---
    But... But, nothing will start
    by just sitting and watching.
[21:31] ---
    I can't really explain it.
[21:36] ---
    But, this is my only chance.
[21:42] ---
    So...
[21:44] ---
    We want to shine!
[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
[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, "Their Feelings."
[23:36] ---
    "Their Feelings"
