[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"
