**[00:04] ---**
Are you nervous?
**[00:06] ---**
No.
**[00:08] ---**
I'm surprisingly calm as well.
**[00:12] ---**
I wonder if we're calm
because our sisters are here...
**[00:15] ---**
Of course that's true, but...
**[00:18] ---**
...to me, that's not the only reason.
**[00:23] ---**
I was able to come this far because of you.
**[00:27] ---**
Leah-*chan*...
**[00:30] ---**
Let's dedicate this song to that
special person in our lives.
**[00:30] ---**
Let's dedicate this song to that
special person in our lives.
**[00:36] ---**
*Let's throw our all at each other*
*and grab hold of the future!*
**[00:55] ---**
*The sky and this ocean are both on our side*
**[01:00] ---**
*Shining and saying, "Go, do your best!"*
**[01:06] ---**
*To let our voices reach far, far away*
**[01:11] ---**
*Shall we shout our dreams louder?*
**[01:16] ---**
*(Full of hope)*
**[01:18] ---**
*Today pulls tomorrow toward itself*
**[01:22] ---**
*It's really fun to grasp the magnet*
*in my heart and run right now!*
**[01:31] ---**
*(Let's always go together)*
**[01:33] ---**
*What shall we do about the future?!*
**[01:36] ---**
*Everyone laughs and cries*
*as* *they* *look for the shape of their dreams*
**[01:43] ---**
*Because I'm sure the* *future* *us*
*will have the answer*
**[01:52] ---**
*Let's run with everything we have*
*and become the shining wind*
**[02:00] ---**
*We got dream*
**[02:06] ---**
--A concert?
--Here?!
**[02:08] ---**
Yeah.
**[02:10] ---**
I'd like to hold a concert with Leah-*chan*
and show it to Sarah-*san* and my sis.
**[02:16] ---**
Can you do it?
**[02:17] ---**
I don't know...
**[02:19] ---**
But if we could, I thought that
it may cheer Leah-*chan* up.
**[02:24] ---**
How're you gonna prepare for it?
**[02:26] ---**
That's...
**[02:30] ---**
That sounds interesting, *zura*.
**[02:31] ---**
Yep, yep... Wait, what?
**[02:34] ---**
I'll give you guys a hand, *zura*.
**[02:36] ---**
Really?! Then, after this,
I'm supposed to meet up with Leah-*chan*.
**[02:41] ---**
Could you come along?
**[02:42] ---**
Sure.
**[02:43] ---**
Hanamaru-*chan*...
**[02:45] ---**
You're coming too, of course,
right, Yoshiko-*chan*?
**[02:47] ---**
M-Me?!
**[02:51] ---**
--I have far more
important matters to attend to.
**[02:52] ---**
--Okay then, you can eat my *yakitori*, *zura*.
Let's go, Ruby-*chan*, *zura*.
--I have far more important matters to attend to.
**[02:53] ---**
--Okay then, you can eat my *yakitori*, *zura*.
Let's go, Ruby-*chan*, *zura*.
--My quest for little demons is one steeped in nobility.
**[02:57] ---**
--Okay. Thank you, Hanamaru-*chan*.
--My quest for little demons
is one steeped in nobility.
**[02:58] ---**
--Okay. Thank you, Hanamaru-*chan*.
--But if you really cannot do it without--
**[03:01] ---**
Ahh! Wait for me! Oh, and it's Yohane!
**[03:02] ---**
"Yakitori Meal"
**[03:08] ---**
Leah, I'm going shopping,
so could you look after the restau--
**[03:20] ---**
You didn't tell me that
these two would come, too.
**[03:23] ---**
Ah, but Hanamaru-*chan* and Yoshi--
**[03:26] ---**
I mean, Yohane-*chan*,
are both dependable, so...
**[03:29] ---**
I don't care. I'm not really someone
who likes hanging out with people.
**[03:34] ---**
I don't like to either, *zura*.
**[03:37] ---**
And Yoshiko-*chan* here is like
the poster child for solitude, *zura*.
**[03:40] ---**
It's Yohane! Why are you saying
terrible things about me so nonchalantly?
**[03:43] ---**
"*Zura*"?
**[03:44] ---**
Ah! It's like my habit.
**[03:48] ---**
--Seriously?
--I know it sounds weird, *zura*. I just...
**[03:52] ---**
That's Zuramaru's habit.
**[03:54] ---**
That's why she would shut herself up
in the library with Ruby.
**[03:58] ---**
Is that true?
**[03:59] ---**
*Zura*... I was like that up until
the past spring, but...
**[04:04] ---**
I'm pretty much... like that at school, so...
**[04:11] ---**
As for Yoshiko-*chan*,
she didn't even come to sch--
**[04:15] ---**
You don't have to give her
a play-by-play of my life! And it's Yohane!
**[04:18] ---**
--I'm sorry, Yoshiko-*chan*.
--Like I said, it's Yohane!
**[04:22] ---**
"I won't give in no matter what happens."
**[04:26] ---**
"I shall stand on that summit
alongside the one I love,
**[04:30] ---**
and yell out in triumph without fail."
**[04:33] ---**
I told you! My sister is usually the one
who comes up with the lyrics and music!
**[04:38] ---**
We haven't said anything yet.
**[04:41] ---**
In any case, there's no twist or anything.
It's kind of too straightforward.
**[04:46] ---**
What? Got a problem with that?
**[04:48] ---**
But it gives us an idea of what
kind of song you want to sing, *zura*.
**[04:52] ---**
I'll help you, so let's
create a song together.
**[04:55] ---**
But you guys have to prepare
for the Love Live final round, right?
**[04:59] ---**
Can you afford the time
to create a song with me?
**[05:01] ---**
Well...
**[05:03] ---**
Ruby-*chan* wants to help you
no matter what, Leah-*chan*, *zura*.
**[05:09] ---**
After talking to you
and my sister, I thought that
**[05:12] ---**
maybe we should show them
we can do things by ourselves,
**[05:17] ---**
so that they can graduate
without having to worry about us.
**[05:22] ---**
Ugh! It's from Lili!
**[05:24] ---**
She said, "Where are you? You should
be getting ready to go home."
**[05:27] ---**
"Little Demon Lili: Don't call me Lili!"
"What's with that name anyway?!"
**[05:29] ---**
She read my mind?!
**[05:31] ---**
It's already that late?
**[05:32] ---**
What're you going to do?
**[05:34] ---**
We're on winter break right now.
**[05:36] ---**
--So?
--So...
**[05:40] ---**
You're staying?!
**[05:41] ---**
Yep.
**[05:42] ---**
That's right, *zura*.
Leah-*chan* is feeling very sad,
**[05:45] ---**
so we'd like to cheer her up
a little more, *zura*.
**[05:47] ---**
That's right. She's super-mega bummed out.
We can't leave her like that.
**[05:51] ---**
Yep.
**[05:52] ---**
Where are you staying?
**[05:53] ---**
Fortunately, Leah-*chan*'s room is
big enough for all of us, so we'll stay there.
**[05:57] ---**
Wow, that sounds kinda fun!
**[05:58] ---**
It does. Then why don't we also--
**[06:01] ---**
Ahh, her room isn't that big,
or how should I put it...?
**[06:04] ---**
That's right, *zura*! In addition, Leah-*chan*
is really sensitive right now, *zura*!
**[06:08] ---**
I-I see.
**[06:10] ---**
I'm sorry, sis. We'll definitely
be back in two or three days.
**[06:16] ---**
I don't really care either way.
**[06:21] ---**
I think it's fine.
**[06:22] ---**
I'm sure the first years have a lot
to talk about amongst themselves. Right?
**[06:33] ---**
I'm glad we came.
**[06:34] ---**
Yeah, definitely. I've come
to realize that unbeknownst to us,
**[06:38] ---**
other school idols
are working hard just like us.
**[06:42] ---**
It's kind of invigorating, isn't it?
**[06:44] ---**
It makes us feel like
we have lots of friends.
**[06:50] ---**
Ruby...
**[06:51] ---**
Maybe you did something that ticked her off?
**[06:54] ---**
Of course not!
**[06:55] ---**
Yes, Miss?
**[06:56] ---**
Ah, we're okay.
**[06:58] ---**
But it appeared to me that
they were definitely hiding something.
**[07:03] ---**
Splitting from the other members
and staying at Saint Snow's house...
**[07:06] ---**
Don't tell me...!
**[07:08] ---**
Sis... The truth is...
**[07:11] ---**
We'll fall from Aqours, and...
**[07:13] ---**
...starting today...
**[07:14] ---**
...we'll become Saint Aqours Snow!
**[07:18] ---**
Bzzzzt!
**[07:20] ---**
Are you okay, Miss?!
**[07:21] ---**
C-Calm down.
**[07:22] ---**
It was a joke.
**[07:24] ---**
I don't think that's what's going on.
**[07:26] ---**
What?
**[07:27] ---**
They're probably...
**[07:30] ---**
They're probably...?
**[07:31] ---**
Hmmm... I'll keep my mouth shut.
**[07:34] ---**
I think you'll know soon.
**[07:37] ---**
Noooo!
**[07:42] ---**
So this is your room?
**[07:44] ---**
You can make yourself at home,
but don't touch--
**[07:48] ---**
Wow! This is pretty, *zura*!
**[07:51] ---**
Don't touch it without asking!
**[07:53] ---**
A snow crystal?
**[07:57] ---**
Right. I looked for them with my sister
on a snowy day when we were small.
**[08:03] ---**
The moment we decided
to become school idols together,
**[08:09] ---**
we decided to have a snow crystal
as the symbol of Saint Snow.
**[08:17] ---**
And yet... when it was her last Love Live...
**[08:23] ---**
It's pretty.
**[08:27] ---**
Of course! My sister found it.
**[08:30] ---**
See? She's better than your sister.
**[08:33] ---**
That's not true! My sis can find
an outfit I'll look good in in no time flat!
**[08:37] ---**
The outfits my sister finds for me
are infinity times cuter!
**[08:42] ---**
That's not...! Ah...
**[08:44] ---**
We've never seen Ruby-*chan*...
**[08:46] ---**
...this aggressive before!
**[08:48] ---**
Th-That's...
**[08:49] ---**
Seriously. When it comes to her sister,
she gets worked up easily.
**[08:53] ---**
So do you... you know.
**[08:57] ---**
You may be right.
**[09:04] ---**
You guys really don't have to go back?
**[09:08] ---**
Ah, no, we're fine.
**[09:09] ---**
There's something really important
**[09:11] ---**
the other members asked us
to take care of here, *zura*.
**[09:15] ---**
Oh, I see.
**[09:17] ---**
I'm sorry that we
came barging in so suddenly.
**[09:21] ---**
That's no problem for us at all.
**[09:24] ---**
Well then, I'll let you know
when dinner is ready.
**[09:27] ---**
Please don't mind us.
**[09:29] ---**
Phew. We somehow managed to fool her.
**[09:32] ---**
Yoshiko-*chan* had...
**[09:33] ---**
...a normal conversation!
**[09:36] ---**
It's Yohane! And I had no choice
since I couldn't depend on you two!
**[09:40] ---**
I had no choice!
**[09:42] ---**
Fallen angels know how to blend into society.
**[09:46] ---**
Everyone has an unexpected side.
**[09:48] ---**
I'd like you to refer to it
as my hidden magical power!
**[09:51] ---**
Back to normal already, *zura*.
**[09:53] ---**
But she might be right.
**[09:55] ---**
What?
**[09:57] ---**
I've been thinking lately that
though I may appear undependable
**[10:01] ---**
in the eyes of my sister
and the other older members,
**[10:04] ---**
I may have lots of hidden powers.
**[10:07] ---**
Then, it's decided, *zura*!
**[10:09] ---**
What is?
**[10:10] ---**
The theme of the song, *zura*!
**[10:13] ---**
They aren't coming home yet?
**[10:15] ---**
They called earlier and told me
that they'd stay there a bit longer.
**[10:18] ---**
Don't tell me that they're
going to form a new group...
**[10:23] ---**
I wouldn't put it past that fallen angel...
**[10:26] ---**
Your eyes are serious.
**[10:28] ---**
Don't worry!
**[10:30] ---**
You don't have to worry.
**[10:31] ---**
Chika-*chan*, you sounded like
you knew something the other day.
**[10:34] ---**
Did they tell you something?
**[10:38] ---**
It's not that they told me anything.
**[10:42] ---**
I just thought that they might be
trying to do something all by themselves.
**[10:49] ---**
"Once I've decided to do my best..."
**[10:52] ---**
The next line is, "I definitely won't lose."
**[10:55] ---**
And then... like this. What do you think?
**[10:56] ---**
--Do it this way...
--Then...
**[10:58] ---**
And then...
**[10:59] ---**
We'd finish it off with...
**[11:02] ---**
Finished!
**[11:04] ---**
Yep. This is really good!
**[11:07] ---**
--Wooooo... We did it!
**[11:10] ---**
--Quiet!
--Wooooo... We did it!
**[11:13] ---**
You can still eat it, *zura*.
**[11:17] ---**
--Now...
--Let's hope that we can register for the event.
**[11:20] ---**
You have to qualify to participate?
**[11:22] ---**
Yeah. We have to explain
the content so they can decide
**[11:25] ---**
"Christmas Event Performers
Selection Meeting"
**[11:25] ---**
whether or not it's suited for the event.
**[11:31] ---**
I'm not good at talking with strangers.
**[11:34] ---**
Me, neither.
**[11:36] ---**
You're up soon, *zura*.
**[11:40] ---**
To think that not having my sister
with me makes me this nervous...
**[11:44] ---**
But you guys need to do
this all by yourselves.
**[11:48] ---**
Otherwise, it'll all be meaningless.
**[11:51] ---**
Thank you.
**[11:53] ---**
Next group, please come in.
**[12:00] ---**
--Let's go... by ourselves!
--Let's go... by ourselves!
**[12:07] ---**
H-Hello...
**[12:09] ---**
I-I..., no, I mean, we... Um...
**[12:21] ---**
Sis...
**[12:26] ---**
Hurry! Hurry!
**[12:35] ---**
Sis!
**[12:37] ---**
You are such a crybaby, Ruby.
**[12:40] ---**
You're a strong girl, aren't you?
Now, show me your courage.
**[12:52] ---**
Right... She's been giving me
courage all this time.
**[12:59] ---**
Sis...
**[13:07] ---**
We are from school idol groups.
**[13:11] ---**
Although our groups live far apart,
the two of us
**[13:14] ---**
would like to sing a new song
hand in hand for this Christmas event.
**[13:21] ---**
A song that we dedicate
to the ones we love...
**[13:25] ---**
Why are you crying, *zura*?
**[13:27] ---**
Look who's talking!
**[13:29] ---**
*Zura*...
**[13:37] ---**
*Love Live! Sunshine!!*
**[13:41] ---**
You both did a good job
in the selection meeting, *zura*.
**[13:46] ---**
I shall confer you the title
of Little Demon Number Ten.
**[13:50] ---**
Gee, thanks.
**[13:52] ---**
But I wonder if it was really okay
to say something like that...
**[13:57] ---**
We had no choice.
**[13:58] ---**
We felt like we had to promise we'd draw
a big crowd or they wouldn't pick us.
**[14:02] ---**
Oh, very well... If the worst comes to pass,
I'll summon my little--
**[14:05] ---**
Where are they, *zura*?
**[14:07] ---**
Shut up! Hm? You're eating again, Zuramaru?
**[14:09] ---**
This is delicious, *zura*.
**[14:13] ---**
The signs are indeed everywhere.
**[14:15] ---**
--Yoshiko-*chan*...
--Let me tell you something.
**[14:17] ---**
--Yoshiko-*chan*.
--Weight management
is important for school idols.
**[14:20] ---**
--Yoshiko-*chan*.
--Don't come crying and--
Quiet! And it's Yohane!
**[14:25] ---**
There are some signs you missed, *zura*.
**[14:29] ---**
I noticed it while watching you...
**[14:37] ---**
--*Zura*!
--Eek!
**[14:39] ---**
--Why, cruel world?!
--That hurt, *zura*!
**[14:43] ---**
Ah, that's right.
Did you contact Mari-*chan*, *zura*?
**[14:47] ---**
Yep! I just received an email from her.
**[14:49] ---**
She said they'd definitely like
to help us out with that.
**[14:54] ---**
To Hakodate?
**[14:55] ---**
Yeah. Could you go
and bring those three home?
**[14:57] ---**
It seems like they're worried
about being by themselves after all.
**[15:02] ---**
Seriously...
**[15:05] ---**
Whatever will we do with them...
**[15:07] ---**
Today, we have the performers
for the Christmas Festival... um...
**[15:12] ---**
It's Saint Aqours Snow.
**[15:14] ---**
They came to say hello!
**[15:16] ---**
Eek!
**[15:17] ---**
That's totally a straightforward name, *zura*.
**[15:19] ---**
In the north,
**[15:20] ---**
--on the night the bell tolls for the dead
to rise up and the barrier to be restored,
**[15:21] ---**
--Let's make the announcement, *zura*.
**[15:21] ---**
--on the night the bell tolls for the dead
to rise up and the barrier to be restored,
**[15:23] ---**
--Yep.
--I call upon my little demons...
**[15:24] ---**
We'll hold a concert on Christmas Eve.
**[15:28] ---**
Ah! Please, *zu*-- I mean, come, *zu*--
**[15:32] ---**
I mean, please come, *zura*...! Ah...
**[15:36] ---**
Ahh... I screwed up, *zura*.
**[15:39] ---**
It's all right, Hanamaru-*chan*.
**[15:46] ---**
Hm? Those two girls...
**[15:48] ---**
Who are they?
**[15:49] ---**
My classmates.
**[15:53] ---**
Why are you hiding?
**[15:55] ---**
Because I've never really talked to them.
**[16:03] ---**
There'll be a Saint Snow concert!
**[16:05] ---**
Leah-*chan* will perform!
**[16:07] ---**
Wha...
**[16:08] ---**
Leah-*chan*...
**[16:10] ---**
Is it okay if we come to see it, too?
**[16:12] ---**
What...? Yeah.
**[16:15] ---**
And... I know it's late, but I'm sorry
about the Love Live regional prelims.
**[16:21] ---**
No worries. We're sorry that we
couldn't come to see your performance.
**[16:26] ---**
We thought you didn't like us.
**[16:28] ---**
We know that you and Sarah-*sempai*
worked hard for all of us.
**[16:34] ---**
Saint Snow is our pride...
actually, the pride of the whole school.
**[16:38] ---**
You'll be performing
in the Christmas Festival, right?
**[16:41] ---**
Everyone wants to come. Is that okay?
**[16:44] ---**
Yes.
**[16:53] ---**
Don't cry, Leah-*chan*.
**[16:56] ---**
I wonder why...
I feel happy, but tears come out.
**[17:02] ---**
I can't wait to see my sis.
**[17:11] ---**
Sarah-*san*?
**[17:13] ---**
Oh? What're you doing here?
**[17:15] ---**
Well... I was told to come here.
**[17:20] ---**
What? Actually, so was I.
**[17:30] ---**
"To my sis Dia"
"To my sister Sarah"
**[17:33] ---**
What is this?
**[17:34] ---**
It's a Christmas...
**[17:35] ---**
...present.
**[17:37] ---**
Leah-*chan* and I will hold
a concert on Christmas Eve...
**[17:41] ---**
On the stage we created by ourselves
using everything you taught me...
**[17:46] ---**
We want you two to see
how far we were able to come...
**[17:50] ---**
...by ourselves...
**[17:55] ---**
Excuse me...
**[17:57] ---**
My little demons say
that they want to see it, too.
**[18:00] ---**
Who're you calling little demons?!
**[18:02] ---**
Chika-*chan*! Everyone...!
**[18:04] ---**
You're here, too?
**[18:05] ---**
Mari-*chan* said she'd pay for the plane
tickets, so we should all go together.
**[18:09] ---**
Of course! There's no way
that we'd miss an event like this!
**[18:14] ---**
That's our Mari! Such a big heart!
**[18:15] ---**
Yoshiko-*chan* is big everywhere, *zura*.
**[18:18] ---**
Ahhhh!
**[18:21] ---**
--Sis...
--Sis...
**[18:24] ---**
--Will you watch
the concert we're creating?
--Will you watch the concert we're creating?
**[18:32] ---**
Of course.
**[18:35] ---**
I'll be happy to.
**[18:38] ---**
Yep!
**[18:39] ---**
Ahh! I wonder what kind
of concert it'll be...
**[18:43] ---**
I can't wait to see it!
**[18:45] ---**
Well then, we should get ready, too,
for the next surprise.
**[18:50] ---**
--Yep!
--Yep!
**[18:52] ---**
Yeah!
**[18:53] ---**
Though it'll be a secret to those two.
**[18:55] ---**
The costumes are perfect, too, *zura*!
**[18:59] ---**
I bet their concert will be
as incredible as this scenery.
**[19:08] ---**
--Sis!
--Sis!
**[19:14] ---**
We'll shine with everything we have!
**[19:17] ---**
Please watch it!
**[19:19] ---**
--Merry Christmas!
--Merry Christmas!
**[19:36] ---**
*When* *I* *start, I never really think about*
**[19:42] ---**
*How* *it'll* *end* *or* *anything like that*
**[19:48] ---**
*It seems like it'll go on forever,*
*so* *I* *only* *look* *ahead*
**[19:54] ---**
*Since* *that's* *how*
*I've* *been* *running* *until now*
**[20:00] ---**
*Where,* *where, where shall I go next?*
**[20:28] ---**
*Come* *on!* *Awaken the power, yeah!*
**[20:32] ---**
*Are* *you* *ready?* *Let's* *go!!*
**[20:34] ---**
*Even* *though I'm supposed*
*to know a lot of words*
**[20:39] ---**
*At* *times* *like* *this, they won't come out*
**[20:44] ---**
*My* *heart* *is filled*
*with these strong emotions*
**[20:49] ---**
*And* *I* *feel* *like I'll cry*
*before I can say anything*
**[20:54] ---**
*Once I've decided to do my best*
*(I* *definitely* *won't* *lose)*
**[20:59] ---**
*I've always worked hard with everyone*
*(I* *definitely won't lose)*
**[21:04] ---**
*I* *won't* *know that I can't do it until I try*
**[21:09] ---**
*What I'm aiming for inside me*
*is a new power*
**[21:13] ---**
*My* *power,* *new* *power,* *yeah!*
**[21:16] ---**
*I'm sure the world is shining*
*with unknown power*
**[21:22] ---**
*So* *I'll* *keep* *on dreaming forever*
**[21:25] ---**
*I'm sure the world is shining*
*with unknown power*
**[21:32] ---**
*What* *I'll* *choose depends on me*
**[21:36] ---**
*Wake up, my new power*
**[21:37] ---**
*The* *power* *sleeping within me*
*starts to move*
**[21:41] ---**
*Start* *up now,*
*don't just stand there, let's go!*
**[21:46] ---**
*Where,* *where,* *where shall I go?*
**[21:51] ---**
*My* *power, new power,*
*in the depths of my heart*
**[22:07] ---**
*My power, new power,*
*looking for a new world*
**[22:20] ---**
*Wake* *up,* *wake* *up,* *my new world*
**[22:38] ---**
Sis... I'm going to quit
Saint Snow after all.
**[22:44] ---**
What?
**[22:45] ---**
Because it is a memory I made with you.
**[22:50] ---**
Like a snow crystal,
there will only ever be one Saint Snow.
**[22:57] ---**
So I'll find a different snow crystal
by forming a new group.
**[23:01] ---**
I'll create a school idol group
that you and everyone else will love.
**[23:07] ---**
Just you watch.
**[23:10] ---**
I will.
**[23:18] ---**
Leah has always been shy
and had a hard time speaking with others.
**[23:24] ---**
I guess they aren't
really kids any longer, are they?
**[23:28] ---**
I guess not.
**[23:29] ---**
Their spreading their wings
calls for a celebration.
**[23:36] ---**
Next Time! "Finding a Way to Shine."
