Love Live! Superstar!!

The first students have arrived at Yuigaoka Girls’ High School, a new academy built on the crossroads of Omotesando, Harajuku, and Aoyama. With no history, no upperclassmen to rely on, and no name to speak of, this school’s totally starting from scratch!
In the midst of this, a team of five girls led by Kanon Shibuya discover “school idols.”
—I love singing! I really do! And I want to accomplish something with it!
So the hopes of these stars, still small in stature, begin to accumulate…and so begins the “School Idol Project” of five girls with a blank slate and infinite potential.

    My name is Kanon Shibuya!
[00:39] ---
    My birthday is May 1st.
[00:41] ---
    I live with my dad, mom, little sister,
[00:43] ---
    and a Japanese scops owl named Roundy!
[00:45] ---
    My favorite foods are baked apples,
    tomatoes, and Hamburg steak!
[00:49] ---
    My dream is to get into the music program
    at Yuigaoka Girls' High School...
[00:55] ---
    ...and make everyone smile with my song!
[00:59] ---
    I-I'm from Gaien West Middle School...
    My name is Kanon Shibuya.
[01:03] ---
    All right. Let's have you sing your song.
[01:05] ---
    Y-Yes, ma'am...
[01:16] ---
    Shibuya-san?
[01:19] ---
    Shibuya-san?!
[01:25] ---
    This sucks!
[01:27] ---
    This wouldn't be so hard if I could
    actually sing when it mattered.
[01:29] ---
    Sis!
[01:30] ---
    Sis!
[01:33] ---
    Come on! If you're up here, answer me!
[01:35] ---
    Meh.
[01:36] ---
    What kind of response is that?!
[01:38] ---
    Today's your entrance ceremony, isn't it?!
    You're going to be late!
[01:40] ---
    Yeah, yeah.
[01:41] ---
    Hurry up!
[01:43] ---
    Yup.
[01:48] ---
    I'm leaving.
[01:49] ---
    Can I get a "good morning"?
[01:52] ---
    Morning.
[01:52] ---
    No breakfast?
[01:54] ---
    Nope.
[01:58] ---
    I'll see you later, Roundy.
[02:02] ---
    Kanon!
[02:04] ---
    You look great in that uniform.
[02:07] ---
    I don't.
[02:11] ---
    Is she still upset about
    not getting accepted?
[02:13] ---
    She's sensitive.
[02:16] ---
    Okay.
[02:25] ---
    Now I won't have to hear anything.
[03:15] ---
    Kanon-chan!
[03:16] ---
    Morning.
[03:18] ---
    Spring break just flew by, huh?
[03:20] ---
    Really? I couldn't wait
    to go to Yuigaoka myself.
[03:26] ---
    Me, too!
[03:28] ---
    Man, everyone who gets into
    the music program is amazing.
[03:31] ---
    And you look great in those uniforms, too.
[03:34] ---
    Thanks! You do, too, Kanon-chan!
[03:35] ---
    The general curriculum
    uniforms are cute, too!
[03:37] ---
    Y-You think so?
[03:39] ---
    It suits you!
[03:41] ---
    Sorry! I didn't mean anything by it!
[03:44] ---
    Oh, don't even worry about it.
    What can ya do?
[03:47] ---
    I'm not even worried about it anymore.
[03:48] ---
    Not to mention the general curriculum
    should be less stressful.
[03:52] ---
    I never thought you wouldn't
    get into the music program...
[03:55] ---
    I've always loved
    your singing, Kanon-chan.
[04:00] ---
    Oh. That cat's been coming by
    my place a lot lately. Well, bye!
[04:07] ---
    Thanks.

    "This Yet Unknown Feeling"
[05:01] ---
    I have no trouble singing at all
    when it doesn't matter.
[05:06] ---
    Magnificent!
[05:08] ---
    Wh-What?!
[05:09] ---
    Your voice is like
    a gift from the heavens!
[05:11] ---
    Now that I've heard your voice...
[05:12] ---
    Wait, Chinese?!
[05:14] ---
    Please, sing with me!
[05:19] ---
    As school idols!
[05:22] ---
    You're way too close!
[05:24] ---
    Ni hao! Xiè xiè! Xiǎolóngbāo! Zàijiàn!
[05:27] ---
    She's so scary!
[05:29] ---
    Please wait!
[05:34] ---
    Huh? Wha?
[05:36] ---
    Is she an exchange student?
    All because I decided to sing!
[05:40] ---
    What are you doing?
[05:42] ---
    Chi-chan!
[05:43] ---
    Heyo.
[05:44] ---
    Some weird girl's after me.
[05:47] ---
    Huh? I don't see anyone.
[05:49] ---
    Thank goodness.
[05:51] ---
    Chi-chan, you look great
    in the music program uniform.
[05:55] ---
    You got in, so make sure
    you do your best with dancing.
[05:59] ---
    Yeah. You're still singing, too, right?
[06:03] ---
    Me? I...

    "1st Entrance Ceremony"
    "Yuigaoka Girls' High School"
[06:07] ---
    I thought I'd try something new!
[06:10] ---
    Remember? I told you
    before our entrance exams.
[06:13] ---
    If I didn't make it, that was
    going to be it. That I was giving up.
[06:18] ---
    But...
[06:19] ---
    I still want to hear you sing, Kanon-chan.
[06:26] ---
    So, hey. I'm starting a part-time job
    at a takoyaki place today.
[06:29] ---
    Come visit me if you can.
[06:33] ---
    It brings me great joy
    to welcome all of you
[06:38] ---
    as the very first class at our school.
[06:40] ---
    I'm sure that many of you are aware
[06:43] ---
    that this school used to be
    Jingu Music School.
[06:47] ---
    I hope that we can continue
    the long tradition of music here,
[06:50] ---
    especially with our music students,
[06:53] ---
    and that you will all brilliantly
    take flight someday.
[06:56] ---
    I'm from Gaien West Middle School.
    My name is Kanon Shibuya. Um...
[07:02] ---
    The girl with the magnificent voice...
[07:05] ---
    M-My dream is to own a cat someday...
[07:09] ---
    I'm Sumire Heanna. Pleasure.
[07:12] ---
    It's nice to meet you!
    I've come from Shanghai!
[07:15] ---
    My name is Keke Tang!
    My mother is Japanese!
[07:18] ---
    By the way, are any of you
    interested in school idols?
[07:23] ---
    I would love to be school idols
    with all of you!
[07:29] ---
    Huh? Girl with the magnificent voice?
[07:33] ---
    Girl with the magnificent voice?
[07:36] ---
    I guess she's in my class.
    This is gonna be rough.

    I want to be a school idol with you!
[08:23] ---
    I have no idea what you're saying!
[08:25] ---
    Oh, excuse me. When I get excited,
    I forget to speak Japanese.
[08:31] ---
    It's nice to meet you.
    I'm Keke. Keke Tang.
[08:36] ---
    I'm... Kanon Shibuya.
[08:38] ---
    Kanon-san!
[08:39] ---
    Yes?
[08:40] ---
    Your singing is so magnificent!
    And so, would you...
[08:40] ---
    "Let's be school idols"
[08:45] ---
    ...like to be school idols with me?
[08:48] ---
    School idols? Like those idols...
    but at school?
[08:52] ---
    I came to Japan because
    I wanted to become a school idol!
[08:56] ---
    Your singing is magnificent, Kanon-san!
[08:58] ---
    So please! Let's be school idols together!
[09:03] ---
    Sorry, I'm gonna pass.
[09:05] ---
    But why?
[09:07] ---
    I'm not cut out for it.
[09:09] ---
    That's not true. Anyone can
    become a school idol.
[09:13] ---
    And you're cute, Kanon-san.
[09:15] ---
    --Huh?
    --You're very cute.
[09:17] ---
    I-I don't think I'm... cute.
[09:20] ---
    You love singing, don't you?
[09:27] ---
    I don't hate it...
[09:28] ---
    "Let's be school idols"
[09:28] ---
    I know you love it! I can tell!
[09:31] ---
    So let's do this together!
[09:34] ---
    Please use your magnificent voice
    and become a school idol with me!
[09:37] ---
    "Let's be school idols"
[09:38] ---
    Are you the one handing out these fliers?
[09:44] ---
    "Let's be school idols"
[09:44] ---
    Who gave you permission to hand them out?
    Did you ask the director?
[09:49] ---
    Oh... I'm sorry...
[09:51] ---
    I just wanted to become a school idol...
[09:56] ---
    A school idol?
[09:57] ---
    Is that not allowed?
[09:59] ---
    I heard that this school was very
    passionate about music. That's why I--
[10:03] ---
    It's because we're so
    passionate about music
[10:05] ---
    that we can't just allow you
    to run around doing this.
[10:08] ---
    Hey, hang on.
[10:09] ---
    Do you really have to say it like that?
[10:12] ---
    She just came here from overseas.
[10:15] ---
    Who are you? Are you also
    involved with this student?
[10:18] ---
    Involved? I mean...
    I guess I can't say that I'm not...?
[10:23] ---
    In that case, I'll tell you, as well.
[10:25] ---
    Music is extremely
    important at our school.
[10:29] ---
    So I ask that you refrain from doing
    such frivolous things without permission.
[10:33] ---
    How do you know she's being frivolous?
[10:36] ---
    You need to actually explain
    why school idols aren't allowed.
[10:40] ---
    You shouldn't just yell at her like that,
    saying they're bad.
[10:45] ---
    It's because they're not worthy.
[10:46] ---
    Not worthy? What?
    How are school idols not worthy?
[10:50] ---
    They would not bring
    any merit to our school.
[10:53] ---
    How can you be so sure of that?!
[10:57] ---
    What about you?
[10:59] ---
    Do you also want to be a school idol?
[11:05] ---
    I...
[11:09] ---
    Anyway, please go home for the day.
[11:12] ---
    Make sure you don't get in the way
    of the music students.
[11:17] ---
    Kanon-san, thank you.
[11:19] ---
    No, don't even worry about it.
[11:21] ---
    I actually didn't get into
    the music program.
[11:26] ---
    Even though I love to sing. I guess I just
    don't have the talent for it.
[11:32] ---
    So it's all over. No more singing for me.
[11:38] ---
    Kanon-san!
[11:40] ---
    "Let's be school idols"
[11:44] ---
    Is it really over though?
[11:46] ---
    Huh?
[11:48] ---
    Is there ever an end to doing your best
    for something that you love?
[11:58] ---
    Love Live! Superstar!!
[12:02] ---
    Here you go.
[12:07] ---
    Cocoa!
[12:12] ---
    The chocolate is upping me warm.
[12:14] ---
    You got that backwards...
[12:14] ---
    Just shoo already.
[12:16] ---
    Fine.
[12:18] ---
    So, hey... I really don't think
    I'm cut out to be an idol.
[12:23] ---
    That's not true! Anyone can
    become a school idol!
[12:26] ---
    --Idol?!
    --You?!
[12:28] ---
    Shut up! Quit eavesdropping!
[12:30] ---
    Your singing voice is
    magnificent, Kanon-san!
[12:33] ---
    When I met you this morning,
    I knew you were the one!
[12:37] ---
    You can tell just by looking at me,
    can't you? I'm not idol material.
[12:41] ---
    That's not true!
    You're very cute, Kanon-san!
[12:44] ---
    --Cute?!
    --Her?!
[12:46] ---
    For crying out loud, stop eavesdropping!
[12:50] ---
    Can I ask you something?
[12:54] ---
    No singing?
[12:55] ---
    You know,
[12:56] ---
    there are bands and groups where people
    other than the vocalists don't sing.
[13:00] ---
    Maybe something like that.
[13:01] ---
    Well, groups like that do exist...
[13:05] ---
    Do you not want to sing, Kanon-san?
[13:09] ---
    It's not that I don't want to sing...
    It's more I can't?
[13:12] ---
    But you were. With your magnificent voice.
[13:15] ---
    Well, I can sing in those situations...
[13:22] ---
    Okay, fine. I guess I have to tell you.
[13:25] ---
    When it really comes
    down to it, I can't sing.
[13:29] ---
    My voice just won't come out.
[13:31] ---
    But...
[13:34] ---
    The first time was in grade school.
[13:55] ---
    Kanon-chan!
[13:56] ---
    The song started!
[14:03] ---
    --Kanon-chan!
    --Kanon-chan!
[14:04] ---
    --Are you okay?!
    --Kanon-chan!
[14:06] ---
    Ever since, my voice won't come out
    when it really matters.
[14:11] ---
    I was in choir in middle school,
[14:13] ---
    but I couldn't do any competitions.
[14:15] ---
    And when I tried to
    apply for this school...
[14:19] ---
    Even though you love singing?
[14:23] ---
    Yup, even though I love singing.
[14:26] ---
    I'm so sorry. I had no idea and I...
[14:30] ---
    No, don't worry about it.
[14:32] ---
    But...
[14:32] ---
    I'm going to help you out, Keke-chan.
[14:35] ---
    I want to help.
[14:36] ---
    So if I can find anyone that seems like
    they're interested in school idols,
[14:40] ---
    I'll let you know.
[14:41] ---
    Really?
[14:42] ---
    Of course!
[14:43] ---
    Because I love singing!
[14:47] ---
    Kanon-san...
[14:50] ---
    I'll start looking tomorrow.
[14:52] ---
    If there's anything you
    don't understand, let me know.
[14:55] ---
    I'll help you out any way I can.
[14:57] ---
    Okay...
[15:00] ---
    School idols?
[15:02] ---
    Yeah. I'm trying to find people
    that might be interested.
[15:06] ---
    It's totally fine to look...
[15:09] ---
    But I'm not sure you'll find anyone
    in our music program.
[15:12] ---
    Because anyone in our music program...
[15:13] ---
    Be it singers, people who
    play instruments, or dancers...
[15:16] ---
    They all concentrate on their one thing,
    so they'd prioritize that.
[15:22] ---
    I see...
[15:23] ---
    Not to mention, there's a bunch of people
    who don't like school idols.
[15:27] ---
    Especially Hazuki-san,
    who says they don't belong at our school.
[15:31] ---
    Hazuki... Wait, does she have
    a ponytail like this?
[15:35] ---
    You know her?
[15:37] ---
    She's apparently the daughter
    of Hana Hazuki,
[15:40] ---
    the person who established our school.
[15:42] ---
    I see...
[16:01] ---
    That voice...
[16:08] ---
    I'm home.
[16:09] ---
    Oh.
[16:10] ---
    Did you go to your new friend's place?
[16:13] ---
    No, I went to see Chi-chan.
[16:15] ---
    Ah, I heard she's been
    working hard with dance.
[16:20] ---
    Here, this is for everyone.
[16:37] ---
    School idols, huh?
[16:39] ---
    Nanami-chan was a no...
[16:40] ---
    Sorry, I'm really terrible at singing.
[16:43] ---
    Yae-chan is also a no...
[16:45] ---
    I have something else I want to do.
[16:47] ---
    A nope from Kokono-chan, too...
[16:53] ---
    I see.
[16:55] ---
    I had no luck either.
[16:57] ---
    But I haven't gone around
    to the other classes yet.
[17:00] ---
    There might be someone in
    the music program that'd be interested.
[17:03] ---
    But...
[17:08] ---
    It's nothing.
[17:10] ---
    Right?
[17:11] ---
    Yeah.
[17:13] ---
    Um...
[17:15] ---
    Yes?
[17:16] ---
    Y-You're Sumire Heanna-chan
    that's in our class, right?
[17:19] ---
    I know this is sudden, but do you have
    any interest in s-school idols?
[17:24] ---
    Maybe you could...
[17:27] ---
    Just who do you think I am?!
[17:30] ---
    Eek.
[17:32] ---
    I'm sorry...
[17:33] ---
    Oh, no worries!
[17:39] ---
    Hazuki-san.
[17:40] ---
    She's keeping an eye on us.
[17:42] ---
    There are so many people who like music,
    so I thought we could figure it out.
[17:46] ---
    But finding idols might be rough.
[17:57] ---
    I guess they really are hard to find.
[18:00] ---
    Let's go around some
    other classes tomorrow.
[18:03] ---
    I'm sure we'll find some people
    who are interested.
[18:05] ---
    Kanon-san...
[18:06] ---
    We're going the same way
    at least part way. Let's go!
[18:09] ---
    Kanon-san!
[18:12] ---
    I...
[18:14] ---
    I was hoping you'd change your mind...
    about being a school idol.
[18:18] ---
    I didn't want to trouble you,
    so I hesitated asking...
[18:22] ---
    But I really...
[18:25] ---
    I really want to be a school idol
    with you, Kanon-san!
[18:31] ---
    But I told you yesterday...
[18:34] ---
    I can't sing.
[18:36] ---
    If I can't sing,
    I'm just going to hold you back.
[18:39] ---
    You love singing, Kanon-san!
[18:41] ---
    Showing love and support
    for people who love to sing...
[18:44] ---
    That's the kind of person
    I want to be a school idol with!
[18:46] ---
    I can't, though...
[18:47] ---
    Please!
[18:48] ---
    I really can't...
[18:49] ---
    That's not tru--
[18:50] ---
    It is, though!
[18:56] ---
    "Let's be school idols"
    "Let's do this together!?"
[18:59] ---
    S-Sorry...
[19:03] ---
    It's just such a let down...
    when I can't sing when I need to.
[19:07] ---
    I let down everyone around me,
    and most importantly,
[19:11] ---
    I let myself down!
[19:13] ---
    And I don't want that anymore!
[19:19] ---
    I'll support you!
[19:20] ---
    I promise I won't give up
    until you can sing, Kanon-san!
[19:25] ---
    So please, won't you give it a try?
[19:27] ---
    Could you try starting over with me?
[19:38] ---
    "Let's be school idols"
    "Let's do this together!?"
[19:40] ---
    Is this what I want?
[19:43] ---
    There's someone who says
    they love my singing...
[19:48] ---
    Someone who says
    they want to sing with me...
[19:53] ---
    So is this really what I want?
[19:58] ---
    Am I going to be able to live with this?
[20:21] ---
    Kanon-san...
[20:30] ---
    I've felt this way
    ever since I was little...
[20:33] ---
    I love to sing. I want to sing forever.
[20:37] ---
    As long as I'm singing,
    I can fly high up into the sky.
[20:42] ---
    All my troubles, my wayward feelings...
[20:46] ---
    I can turn all of that into
    my strengths and be positive.
[20:53] ---
    I want to always be singing.
[20:59] ---
    I knew it.

    Previously on Love Live! Superstar!!
[00:04] ---
    I'm Kanon Shibuya and
    I'm a first-year in high school!
[00:06] ---
    I love singing, but I failed to get into
    the music program at my school.
[00:09] ---
    This sucks!
[00:10] ---
    "Let's be school idols"
[00:10] ---
    And somehow, I was asked
    to be a school idol!
[00:13] ---
    Please, sing with me!
[00:16] ---
    Does anyone want to become
    a school idol with me?
[00:18] ---
    Me? An idol?!
[00:19] ---
    Nope, nope, nope! I mean,
    I can't sing in front of people!
[00:23] ---
    But I do love to sing. I want to do
    something big with my singing.
[00:27] ---
    My yet unknown feeling is on the move!
[00:32] ---
    ♬ I love café au lait and baked apples ♬
[00:41] ---
    ♬ Don't forget the tomatoes ♬
[00:45] ---
    ♬ Hamburg steaks are great, too ♬
[00:50] ---
    What the?
[00:51] ---
    I'd like to know myself.
[00:53] ---
    Morning!
[00:54] ---
    Hey, you're a second-year starting today!
[00:56] ---
    Let's eat!
[00:58] ---
    Manmaru! I'll see you later!
[01:00] ---
    ♬ Hamburg steaks are great, too ♬
[01:03] ---
    Seriously, what?!
[01:06] ---
    Yes! Yes!
[01:08] ---
    I was able to sing in front of people!
[01:16] ---
    A school idol!
[01:20] ---
    That's how I'll be able to sing!
[01:24] ---
    You can't stop real dreams
[01:30] ---
    Our hearts are about to start running
[01:35] ---
    "Love Live! Superstar!!"
[01:52] ---
    Before we knew it,
    we found something that we loved
[01:56] ---
    Let these feelings reach you
[02:00] ---
    We've made up our minds, we're serious!
[02:03] ---
    I wonder what we can do
[02:05] ---
    The sky's so bright
[02:07] ---
    Let's look up at it
    and sing our hearts out
[02:13] ---
    Doesn't having something you want to do
[02:17] ---
    Make every day fun?
[02:20] ---
    Do you feel that way, too?
[02:25] ---
    Ah, we've been waiting for this moment
[02:27] ---
    This encounter is where we start
[02:30] ---
    Our dreams are drawn together,
    and it all begins
[02:35] ---
    We realized our true desires and now,
    we can't be stopped
[02:41] ---
    Our hearts are about to start running
[02:46] ---
    As fast as they can run
[02:56] ---
    We got rejected.
[02:59] ---
    Huh? What happened?
[03:01] ---
    "Club Application"
    "School Idol Club"
    "Keke Tang" "Kanon Shibuya"
[03:02] ---
    A club application...
[03:05] ---
    You turned it in?
[03:06] ---
    I was told again that this school
    didn't need school idols...
[03:10] ---
    ...by Hazuki-san.
[03:14] ---
    That scary girl.
[03:16] ---
    From what I heard, clubs are temporarily
    being managed by the student council
[03:22] ---
    which she's in the center of...
[03:25] ---
    So we have to get their approval.
[03:26] ---
    "No School Idols Allowed?!"
[03:28] ---
    Leave it to me!
[03:30] ---
    My answer remains the same.
[03:31] ---
    "Drama Club"
    "Looking for new members"
[03:32] ---
    Why?
[03:33] ---
    I'd rather not explain
    the same thing twice.
[03:36] ---
    Well, I don't get it!
    We're talking about a club!
[03:39] ---
    What's wrong with students
    getting together to do what they want?!
[03:43] ---
    There is something about school idols
    that could be considered music.
[03:47] ---
    And?
[03:50] ---
    Do you not understand?!
[03:51] ---
    Yuigaoka has a dedicated music program
[03:53] ---
    and therefore we must be
    superior to any other school
[03:57] ---
    when it comes to any musical activity,
[03:59] ---
    or the value of our school will go down!
[04:01] ---
    So you're saying we have to be
    at a higher level.
[04:05] ---
    That's no problem! With me and Kanon-san--
[04:09] ---
    Can you really say that?!
[04:12] ---
    There are school idols
    at many schools now.
[04:16] ---
    Are you saying that you two could
    properly represent our school
[04:20] ---
    without embarrassing us
    among all of that competition?
[04:24] ---
    You're going to say all that
    before we even start?
[04:26] ---
    I'll say this one more time.
[04:27] ---
    We must be superior to every other
    school in every musical activity,
[04:32] ---
    or the value of our school will go down.
[04:35] ---
    We must not be inferior to other schools
    with our musical activities.
[04:42] ---
    If you're insistent on doing this,
    you should go to another school.
[04:46] ---
    But...
[04:47] ---
    Let's go, Kanon-san.
[04:51] ---
    "School Withdrawal Application"
    "Dear Yuigaoka Girls' High School,
    Please allow me to withdraw from this school for the reason stated below. Reason"
[04:52] ---
    That jerkface will not
    get away with this...
[04:55] ---
    Kanon-san, you should fill this out, too.
[04:58] ---
    This is...
[04:59] ---
    An application to quit the school.
[05:00] ---
    --What?!
    --Quit?!
[05:01] ---
    On the second day?!
[05:03] ---
    Yeah, that's the expected reaction!
[05:04] ---
    There's no point in
    staying at this school.
[05:06] ---
    Let's become school idols
    at another school.
[05:10] ---
    Yeah, that's not happening.
[05:11] ---
    It's okay!
[05:12] ---
    We'll be able to transfer to a different
    school by taking a transfer exam.
[05:15] ---
    Where is your house?
[05:17] ---
    Right here.
[05:18] ---
    Oh, right. Let's see
    what schools are around here...
[05:21] ---
    Wait, wait! I get how you feel...
[05:24] ---
    But there's no way
    my parents will okay this.
[05:27] ---
    Sis...
[05:28] ---
    You want to quit school?
[05:29] ---
    I don't! Don't worry!
[05:33] ---
    Why is this happening?
[05:36] ---
    Sorry... After I told you
    to leave it to me.
[05:40] ---
    Oh, no! You're very kind, Kanon-san.
[05:43] ---
    Truly kind! If I hadn't come to
    this school, I never would've met you.
[05:48] ---
    That's why I want to be school idols
    with you, no matter what.
[05:53] ---
    Thank you.
[05:54] ---
    No, thank you!
[05:56] ---
    But there are a lot of people
    who don't really like school idols.
[06:01] ---
    There were a lot of people around me
    who also made fun of them because of that.
[06:06] ---
    But I truly believe that
    school idols are magnificent.
[06:11] ---
    Me, too.
[06:12] ---
    Really?!
[06:14] ---
    I get why you're so into them, Keke-chan.
[06:17] ---
    I don't know everything about them yet,
    so I can't be completely sure, but...
[06:21] ---
    I'm so happy!
[06:23] ---
    I'll do whatever I can
    to help make a School Idol Club.
[06:29] ---
    ♬ Yo! I love Manmaru roundy! ♬
[06:31] ---
    ♬ As much as candy! ♬
[06:32] ---
    ♬ The full moon is grandy!
    So I love all things roundy! ♬
[06:37] ---
    That girl goes to our school...
[06:40] ---
    Heyo! Manmaru!
[06:46] ---
    You're just so perfect and round!
[06:50] ---
    Well? Did you find any of
    that Ren girl's weaknesses?
[06:53] ---
    Hey, I just got here!
[06:56] ---
    Sorry!
[06:57] ---
    Anything will work!
[06:58] ---
    Like a group she's enemies with,
[07:01] ---
    or like she's absolutely
    terrified of ghosts...
[07:04] ---
    Anything that'll give us the upper hand!
[07:07] ---
    Well... To put it simply, her weakness...
[07:11] ---
    Yeah?
[07:13] ---
    Her weakness...
[07:14] ---
    Her weakness?
[07:16] ---
    Her weakness...
[07:18] ---
    Her weakness?!
[07:21] ---
    ...doesn't exist, yo!
[07:23] ---
    I asked a bunch of kids
    from the music program.
[07:27] ---
    She's smart.
[07:28] ---
    She's athletic.
[07:30] ---
    She's a great leader.
[07:33] ---
    There're actually a bunch of people
    who rely on her.
[07:36] ---
    And apparently, the director knows
    her mom, Hana Hazuki-san.
[07:41] ---
    So in other words, it's probably
    going to be super hard
[07:45] ---
    to turn around her decision.
[07:48] ---
    So hey, have you thought about
    making another club
[07:51] ---
    or joining another club
    and singing there for now?
[07:53] ---
    Another club?
[07:55] ---
    Yeah. Continue in a club
    where you won't get yelled at
[07:58] ---
    and then make a School Idol Club
    when you get a chance?
[08:01] ---
    That won't work.
[08:02] ---
    Why?
[08:03] ---
    If we let this go on,
[08:05] ---
    that means Hazuki-san
    can have her way with our school,
[08:08] ---
    and that can't happen!
[08:09] ---
    Yeah, okay. But she didn't approve
    the School Idol Club, right?
[08:13] ---
    Then I'll think of something else!
    Keke-chan's really down about this.
[08:17] ---
    Yeah, but...
[08:19] ---
    Not to mention
[08:20] ---
    it'd be really rude for me to
    join another club for that reason.
[08:25] ---
    And I... I'm really interested
    in school idols now.
[08:32] ---
    Kanon-chan...
[08:33] ---
    What did you just...
[08:36] ---
    You? An idol?!
[08:39] ---
    Give us freedom!
[08:41] ---
    It's wrong that we cannot
    freely pursue club activities!
[08:45] ---
    Club activities should always
    be equal and fair!
[08:45] ---
    "Let's be school idols"
[08:48] ---
    You all agree, right? Now, everyone!
[08:51] ---
    Let us fight together!
[08:55] ---
    This probably isn't it...
[08:58] ---
    Kanon-san! My plan's working, right?
[09:01] ---
    Sure...
[09:03] ---
    Signatures, please!
[09:05] ---
    Kanon-chan?
[09:06] ---
    What are you doing?
[09:07] ---
    We're trying to collect signatures.
[09:10] ---
    You would prefer to freely make
    whatever club you want, right?
[09:13] ---
    Well...
[09:14] ---
    Then sign, please!
[09:16] ---
    This is bad. What if Hazuki-san finds out?
[09:19] ---
    Maybe you should keep this on the DL.
[09:22] ---
    You might get the music
    program kids after you.
[09:25] ---
    "Let us freely pursue club activities!!"
[09:25] ---
    That's fine. We're not
    doing anything wrong.
[09:28] ---
    Kanon-chan!
[09:31] ---
    Kanon-chan!
[09:33] ---
    Chi-chan...
[09:35] ---
    Is this your friend, Kanon-san?
[09:37] ---
    The director...
[09:39] ---
    The director!
[09:43] ---
    "Let us freely pursue club activities!!"
[09:45] ---
    So that's why you were
    trying to collect signatures.
[09:48] ---
    Yes! We have something we want to do
[09:51] ---
    and thought it was wrong
    that we couldn't do it freely.
[09:54] ---
    Well, Hazuki-san.
[09:55] ---
    Is it true that you wouldn't
    allow them to form this club?
[09:59] ---
    I do not remember interfering
    with their freedom with any clubs.
[10:02] ---
    You did.
[10:03] ---
    Just school idols.
[10:04] ---
    And what's wrong with school idols?!
[10:07] ---
    I'm certain that I already told you.
[10:10] ---
    I believe I understand what's going on.
[10:12] ---
    --Hazuki-san.
    --Yes?
[10:14] ---
    I understand your concern,
[10:16] ---
    but we have no right to stop students
    from the general curriculum
[10:19] ---
    from pursuing their musical interests,
    no matter their level.
[10:22] ---
    But my mother--
[10:23] ---
    This has nothing to do with
    your mother. Understood?
[10:29] ---
    Yes, ma'am.
[10:31] ---
    Our school will not prohibit
    school idol activities.
[10:36] ---
    However, as Hazuki-san has said,
    music is the pride and joy of this school.
[10:43] ---
    I will give you an assignment.
[10:46] ---
    First place?!
[10:47] ---
    Yes. At a festival where
    the local school idols gather.
[10:52] ---
    That's the Yoyogi School Idol Fes?
[10:55] ---
    She said she'd allow us to have
    our club if we place first there.
[10:59] ---
    Wow, you guys have to instantly
    go on stage and place first?
[11:04] ---
    Good luck...
[11:05] ---
    We're not done yet!
[11:07] ---
    Whoops, my bad.
    So what are you going to do?
[11:10] ---
    Well, Keke-chan and I decided we'd
    make a song and practice that together,
[11:16] ---
    but we don't know how to dance
    or do choreography at all.
[11:19] ---
    --Mm-hm.
    --The recent school idols are super good.
[11:20] ---
    --The recent school idols are super good.
[11:23] ---
    So we were wondering...
[11:24] ---
    We were wondering...
[11:26] ---
    --Could you teach us
    how to dance, Chi-chan?
    --Could you teach us how to dance, Chisato-san?
[11:29] ---
    --Me?
    --Please!
[11:33] ---
    Oh, fine. But my lesson fees
    are pretty steep!
[11:37] ---
    You'll do it?!
[11:38] ---
    Yeah. I'd love to if you'll have me.
[11:41] ---
    Yay!
[11:43] ---
    Now we'll be unstoppable as dancers!
[11:45] ---
    Everyone's admired Chi-chan's dancing
    skills since we were in grade school!
[11:49] ---
    Why don't you become a school idol
    with us, Chisato-san?
[11:53] ---
    Me?!
[11:54] ---
    Yes, please!
[11:55] ---
    She can't, Keke-chan.
[11:58] ---
    Chi-chan's in the music program. I can't
    ask her to go out of her way anymore.
[12:02] ---
    I see...
[12:06] ---
    Okay, first, let's see what you've got!
[12:09] ---
    We'll start with some simple steps.
[12:11] ---
    Okay!
[12:12] ---
    One, two, three, four,
[12:14] ---
    five, six, seven, eight!
[12:16] ---
    One, two, three, four,
[12:18] ---
    five, six... seven... eight...
[12:24] ---
    Huh?
[12:25] ---
    Keke-chan?
[12:27] ---
    I forgot to mention one thing...
[12:30] ---
    I'm terrible at sports...
[12:33] ---
    Flop.
[12:36] ---
    Keke-chan!
[12:38] ---
    You're kidding!
[12:44] ---
    Nope...
[12:47] ---
    Love Live! Superstar!!
[12:58] ---
    Wow, this looks amazing!
[13:05] ---
    I guess I've got the wrong spot.
[13:10] ---
    Wow, Sunny Pas!
[13:12] ---
    They're so cool!
[13:15] ---
    Sunny Pas?
[13:26] ---
    I think I've worked you two
    hard enough today...
[13:29] ---
    I-I can't breathe...
[13:31] ---
    She seriously has...
[13:32] ---
    ...zero stamina.
[13:34] ---
    Flop.
[13:35] ---
    Oh, come on! You're hopeless!
[13:37] ---
    How did you plan on
    being an idol like this?
[13:40] ---
    It's all about heart.
[13:41] ---
    The most important thing
    about school idols is heart!
[13:44] ---
    I see...
[13:46] ---
    By the way, I can totally get
    perfect combos in rhythm games.
[13:51] ---
    Like, tap, tap, tap.
[13:53] ---
    That doesn't help.
[13:54] ---
    But that does mean
    she has a sense of rhythm.
[13:57] ---
    You're so positive.
[13:57] ---
    Tap, tap, tap.
[13:59] ---
    But we only have a little bit of time.
[14:03] ---
    It'll be time before you know it.
[14:05] ---
    Regardless, you can't be a school idol
    with that level of stamina.
[14:09] ---
    If we keep this up, you'll be able to
    build up your stamina
[14:12] ---
    so we'll fit in some
    dance lessons along the way.
[14:15] ---
    Can you do that?
[14:16] ---
    I can!
[14:20] ---
    That's it for today.
[14:22] ---
    We'll start dance lessons tomorrow.
[14:24] ---
    Thank you so much!
[14:26] ---
    Xiè xiè!
[14:27] ---
    Oh, yeah. We have to
    start making our song, too.
[14:30] ---
    Oh, right. You've still
    got that to do, too.
[14:33] ---
    I have some.
[14:36] ---
    I actually have some lyrics written.
[14:40] ---
    Though part of it is in Chinese.
[14:44] ---
    Wow!
[14:48] ---
    "I want to sing!! And
    I don't want to give up"
[14:52] ---
    This is lovely. I think this is great!
[14:56] ---
    Really?
[14:57] ---
    Yeah! I'll take good care of these lyrics
    you wrote and make a song.
[15:05] ---
    We're not going to give up.
[15:11] ---
    Wait. Is this homework?
    I guess it wouldn't be.
[15:15] ---
    It is. Homework from my friend.
[15:19] ---
    There're Chinese dictionaries
    in Dad's room, right?
[15:22] ---
    Of course there are. He's a translator.
[15:25] ---
    Dad.
[15:28] ---
    "Japanese - Chinese Dictionary"
[15:29] ---
    Wow...
[15:31] ---
    I haven't seen her so absorbed in a while.
[15:34] ---
    By the way, is there even
    a Chinese class in high school?
[15:38] ---
    No idea.
[15:44] ---
    I-I can't breathe...
[15:46] ---
    Good job.
[15:47] ---
    You did a great job.
[15:49] ---
    Flop.
[15:50] ---
    One, two, three, four,
[15:52] ---
    five, six, seven, eight!
[15:54] ---
    One, two, three, four,
[15:56] ---
    five, six, seven, eight!
[16:29] ---
    I can't believe she fell asleep there.
[16:32] ---
    She's been pulling off
    your regimen every day.
[16:35] ---
    Are her classes going okay with all this?
[16:38] ---
    Oh, yeah. She's totally fine.
[16:40] ---
    "Arithmetic"
[16:42] ---
    To answer this question, let's have...
[16:44] ---
    Keke Tang-san.
[16:46] ---
    X squared plus 2X plus 5!
[16:49] ---
    Correct.
[16:51] ---
    Goodnight!
[16:53] ---
    Other than sports,
    she's pretty much perfect.
[16:56] ---
    Oh, yeah. I made a little song yesterday.
[16:59] ---
    Way to go, Kanon-chan!
[17:01] ---
    Keke-chan's words were so lovely.
[17:03] ---
    So I thought this might be
    the song she wanted.
[17:07] ---
    It's nowhere near done though.
[17:22] ---
    It's good.
[17:25] ---
    It's so good!
[17:27] ---
    Really?!
[17:27] ---
    It's great!
[17:29] ---
    Keke-chan's feelings are getting through
[17:31] ---
    and you're coming through
    in this song, too!
[17:33] ---
    I'm so happy! Then I'm going to
    keep working to finish this song
[17:37] ---
    so could you start thinking up
    some choreography for it?
[17:39] ---
    You got it!
[17:40] ---
    But I'm not going to lower it to
    your level. You have to get first place.
[17:45] ---
    Are you ready for that?
[17:47] ---
    I-I'll do my best.
[17:48] ---
    I'll do my best!
[17:49] ---
    Oh, you're awake.
[17:51] ---
    It's all about willpower... flop.
[17:56] ---
    ...seven, eight! One, two, three, four,
[17:59] ---
    five, six, seven, eight!
[18:00] ---
    One, two, three, four,
[18:02] ---
    five, six, seven, eight!
[18:04] ---
    I'm so tired!
[18:06] ---
    I think you two have gotten a lot better.
[18:08] ---
    I dunno...
[18:10] ---
    This actually feels really good now.
[18:13] ---
    Then why don't we use that energy
    to run one more set?
[18:16] ---
    Nope!
[18:21] ---
    ♬ What kind of breeze blows through ♬
[18:27] ---
    ♬ In that sky that reaches up so high? ♬
[18:34] ---
    ♬ Beyond this burgeoning green knoll ♬
[18:37] ---
    Okay, one more set!
[18:39] ---
    What?!
[18:40] ---
    ♬ What dreams will you wait for? ♬
[18:52] ---
    --Welcome home. We're having
    Hamburg steaks for dinner.
    --We're not going to give up. We're not going to give up.
[18:56] ---
    We're not going to give up.
    We're not going to give up.
[18:59] ---
    We're not going to give up.
[19:00] ---
    We're not going to give up.
[19:33] ---
    No, no!
[19:46] ---
    We're not going to give up.
[19:48] ---
    We're not going to give up.
[19:52] ---
    We're not going to give up!
[19:59] ---
    It's finished.
[20:03] ---
    It's done, it's done, it's done!
[20:06] ---
    It's done!
[20:08] ---
    It's still cold in the morning...
[20:19] ---
    Keke-chan!
[20:25] ---
    Vwoom!
[20:27] ---
    Kanon-san!
[20:28] ---
    Let's run together!
[20:31] ---
    Okay.
[20:42] ---
    You know...
[20:44] ---
    When I failed to get into
    the music program,
[20:47] ---
    I thought everything was over.
[20:49] ---
    I graduated, had spring break,
[20:52] ---
    entered high school,
    but I thought it was all over.
[20:57] ---
    I thought things were just
    going to continue to be over.
[21:02] ---
    But...
[21:03] ---
    It's finally starting!
[21:06] ---
    The new me...
[21:07] ---
    ...gets to start!
[21:15] ---
    It's really pretty.
[21:18] ---
    Yeah.
[21:21] ---
    Oh yeah. I finished the song.
[21:26] ---
    I'd love to hear it!
[21:27] ---
    There're other people here
    so it's embarrassing.
[21:30] ---
    I'll send you the file later.
[21:35] ---
    Will you sing it for me?
[21:37] ---
    Will you sing it for me here?
    I want to see you singing it.
[21:44] ---
    I want to hear your song, Kanon-san.
[21:48] ---
    Keke-chan... I'm not sure if I can.
[21:52] ---
    Let's let it resonate!
[21:54] ---
    Let's fill this town with your
    magnificent singing voice, Kanon-san!
[22:15] ---
    The future is calling to us
[22:18] ---
    Like the wind
[22:21] ---
    No one knows what the future holds for us
[22:29] ---
    Even then, we want to move forward
[22:32] ---
    Because we don't want to have any regrets
[22:35] ---
    You can't hold down our hearts
[22:39] ---
    Let's all be free
[22:43] ---
    We're not going to give up!
[22:47] ---
    Because we decided that
[22:50] ---
    We'll cry, laugh, and do our best
[22:53] ---
    We all want to surpass our limits
[22:58] ---
    It's important to believe
[23:02] ---
    And once we told ourselves that
[23:05] ---
    Let's try to go even further
[23:12] ---
    We may be small, but we have big dreams
[23:20] ---
    We won't give in, now, let's fly together
[23:27] ---
    Let's fly the best we can,
    now, let's fly together
[23:37] ---

    Previously on Love Live! Superstar!!
[00:03] ---
    I came to Japan with my dream
    to become a school idol. But...
[00:07] ---
    We got rejected.
[00:09] ---
    We were defeated by Ren Hazuki-san's
    frigid attitude towards school idols.
SIGN    "School Withdrawal Application" "Dear Yuigaoka Girls' High School, Please allow me to withdraw from this school for the reason stated below. Reason"
[00:13] ---
    "Let's be school idols"
[00:13] ---
    It's wrong that we cannot
    freely pursue club activities!
[00:17] ---
    Two of the girls understood
    my passion and helped me out.
[00:21] ---
    We're not going to give up.
[00:23] ---
    In order to continue being school idols,
[00:24] ---
    we have to place first at an event
    at the end of the month!
[00:27] ---
    The new me...
[00:29] ---
    ...gets to start!
[00:41] ---
    Kanon-san?
[00:43] ---
    S-Sorry. I was just a little startled.
[00:46] ---
    I'm gonna sing!
[00:51] ---
    Kanon-san, could it be...
[00:54] ---
    Nope! I'm fine! Totally fine!
[00:57] ---
    Wait... What?!
[01:01] ---
    You can't stop real dreams
[01:07] ---
    Our hearts are about to start running
[01:12] ---
    "Love Live! Superstar!!"
[01:29] ---
    Before we knew it,
    we found something that we loved
[01:33] ---
    Let these feelings reach you
[01:37] ---
    We've made up our minds, we're serious!
[01:40] ---
    I wonder what we can do
[01:42] ---
    The sky's so bright
[01:44] ---
    Let's look up at it
    and sing our hearts out
[01:50] ---
    Doesn't having something you want to do
[01:54] ---
    Make every day fun?
[01:56] ---
    Do you feel that way, too?
[02:02] ---
    Ah, we've been waiting for this moment
[02:04] ---
    This encounter is where we start
[02:07] ---
    Our dreams are drawn together,
    and it all begins
[02:12] ---
    We realized our true desires and now,
    we can't be stopped
[02:18] ---
    Our hearts are about to start running
[02:23] ---
    As fast as they can run
[02:30] ---
    "Kuukaa"
[02:31] ---
    You couldn't do it after all?!
[02:33] ---
    Yeah.
[02:34] ---
    But you've always been able
    to sing when it didn't count.
[02:37] ---
    I thought I'd be okay since it was morning
    and not many people were around...
[02:41] ---
    Did your problem actually get worse?
[02:44] ---
    Possibly.
[02:46] ---
    We have to place first at that fes, too...
[02:49] ---
    Sis...
[02:52] ---
    Perhaps you should just give up.
[02:54] ---
    If you embarrass yourselves at that fes,
    it'll harm our school's reputation.
[02:58] ---
    We don't know for sure
    that she won't be able to sing.
[03:00] ---
    I have my doubts.
[03:02] ---
    Anyway, we're just
    going to do what we can.
[03:04] ---
    We still have time, and the director
    gave them her blessing.
[03:08] ---
    There's no problem.
[03:11] ---
    I truly hope this doesn't interfere
    with your dance practice, Arashi-san.
[03:17] ---
    I'm sorry, Chi-chan.
[03:19] ---
    No, don't apologize! I've definitely
    been practicing my dance.
[03:23] ---
    I know! Do you have
    some time after school?
[03:29] ---
    Takoyaki?!
[03:31] ---
    Wow! It looks so yummy!
[03:33] ---
    What does this have to do with
    me not being able to sing?
[03:35] ---
    The times you couldn't sing were either
[03:38] ---
    when you were in front of people
    or on a big stage.
[03:41] ---
    But this time...
[03:43] ---
    The real reason is
    the pressure you're feeling!
[03:46] ---
    This added pressure of
    having to place first at this fes
[03:49] ---
    was created within you, Kanon-chan.
[03:51] ---
    Which means...
[03:53] ---
    Welcome! Wait, why?!
[03:56] ---
    Let's do some takoyaki training!
[03:59] ---
    I'm sure you help out at your café,
[04:01] ---
    but you might be able to change if you're
    in a situation you're not used to.
[04:05] ---
    Whenever you're making takoyaki,
    you're being watched a lot of the time.
[04:08] ---
    --Meaning, you're working while
    the customers watch you.
[04:12] ---
    --It looks so good! It looks so good!
    --Meaning, you're working while
    the customers watch you.
[04:13] ---
    --It looks so good! It looks so good!
    --I see.
[04:15] ---
    If you can successfully make
    some takoyaki under that pressure...
[04:19] ---
    I might be able to sing...
[04:21] ---
    You might be able to sing...
[04:22] ---
    You might be able to sing...
[04:24] ---
    I might be able to sing...
[04:27] ---
    Or not.
[04:29] ---
    Welf, I gwuess finging ish diffwent.
[04:32] ---
    Guess it's not that easy after all.
[04:35] ---
    Costumes?
[04:36] ---
    You'll look great in anything, Kanon-san!
[04:38] ---
    I'm sure if you wear something cute,
    you'll feel better and be able to sing.
[04:42] ---
    It'd be great if that's the case.
[04:43] ---
    Let's have you try on my recommendation!
[04:48] ---
    So excited!
[04:51] ---
    I'm going to wear this... onstage?
[04:53] ---
    So excited!
[04:56] ---
    What's the matter?
[04:58] ---
    Er, I was just thinking...
    how cute this is.
[05:01] ---
    I know, right?!
[05:02] ---
    Show us, already!
[05:03] ---
    I haven't worn it yet.
[05:04] ---
    --Why?!
    --Oh, you must want some accessories, too!
[05:07] ---
    --Oh, I see!
    --Uh... What?
[05:09] ---
    I think this will look the best on you.
[05:12] ---
    I think this color will
    look nice on her, too.
[05:14] ---
    I see. Then let's give this a try...
[05:17] ---
    Um, hello?
[05:20] ---
    Sure, here you go.
[05:22] ---
    That's not what I meant.
[05:26] ---
    I mean this outfit is
    too cute for me to wear!
[05:30] ---
    Charge!
[05:31] ---
    Hiyah!
[05:37] ---
    You look lovely!
[05:39] ---
    Thanks, I guess...
[05:40] ---
    Okay, I'm taking it.
[05:41] ---
    What?!
[05:42] ---
    Look this way!
[05:44] ---
    O-Okay...
[05:46] ---
    Now, look up this way.
[05:47] ---
    L-Like this?
[05:48] ---
    Yes! That's perfect!
[05:51] ---
    So cute! So cute!
[05:53] ---
    So cute! So cute!
[05:56] ---
    I can't take it!
[06:00] ---
    Delete that.
[06:01] ---
    Oh, it's fine.
[06:03] ---
    I'm just going to upload them onto
    the internet and get tons of likes.
[06:06] ---
    That's not fine at all!
[06:09] ---
    I just can't!
[06:12] ---
    If that's all it took for me to sing,
    I would've been able to by now.
[06:15] ---
    You'll definitely be able
    to sing, Kanon-san!
[06:17] ---
    I witnessed that moment myself!
[06:20] ---
    That was just by chance.
    This must be the real me, though.
[06:25] ---
    No need to be gloomy!
[06:27] ---
    The only reason I'm able to work so hard
    right now is because you were by my side.
[06:32] ---
    Keke-chan...
[06:33] ---
    But I was able to sing in front of people
    once, and now, we're back to this.
[06:37] ---
    I just don't know what to do.
[06:39] ---
    All right. Then let's stop trying
    to force you to sing right now.
[06:44] ---
    I'll sing by myself
    in this upcoming performance.
[06:47] ---
    I'm not as good of a singer
    as you are, Kanon-san...
[06:50] ---
    But you can just stand up
    on that stage with me.
[06:53] ---
    Let's do everything we can
    for this performance together!
[06:56] ---
    Once that's done, you can try
    even harder to sing again.
[07:00] ---
    I promised you.
[07:02] ---
    I promised I won't give up
    until you can sing, Kanon-san!
[07:07] ---
    Kanon-chan.
[07:09] ---
    Keke-chan's this serious about it.
[07:13] ---
    You're right.
[07:15] ---
    Our top priority is
    placing first together!
[07:18] ---
    I'll do everything I can
    to make it an amazing performance!
[07:20] ---
    Yes!
[07:22] ---
    Now that that's settled, there's something
    I'd like to show you two.
[07:29] ---
    Ta-da!
[07:32] ---
    What do you think?
[07:34] ---
    What is this?
[07:35] ---
    Since our first show is coming up,
[07:38] ---
    I've prepared a sign with our
    group name on it and some blades!
[07:41] ---
    Aren't the fans supposed to
    have those blades?
[07:43] ---
    I'm thinking about handing them out!
    To everyone who might support us!
[07:48] ---
    What exactly is "Kuukaa"?
[07:50] ---
    It's the group name I thought up!
[07:53] ---
    I took the "Kuu" from Keke
[07:54] ---
    and "Kaa" from your name and
    mashed them together to make "Kuukaa."
[07:58] ---
    I'm not sure about this.
[07:59] ---
    But, wow. You actually
    made this while training.
[08:02] ---
    It was my pleasure.
[08:03] ---
    Let's... maybe rethink the sign.
[08:19] ---
    So this is where we're going to perform.
[08:21] ---
    Apparently, there will be about
    ten groups performing in total.
[08:26] ---
    And we have to place first out of them.
[08:29] ---
    --Yes!
    --Yes!
[08:30] ---
    Yes!
[08:32] ---
    Well, see you tomorrow.
[08:33] ---
    Bye-bye!
[08:39] ---
    I'm sure Keke-chan would be
    better off without me...
[08:45] ---
    Wait! It's Sunny Pas!
[08:47] ---
    No way!
[08:48] ---
    You're right! They're joining
    at the last minute!
[08:51] ---
    Kanon-san!
[08:57] ---
    What's the matter?
[09:00] ---
    You won't believe it! It's Sunny Pas!
[09:02] ---
    The super school idol group
    from Kozushima, Sunny Passion!
[09:07] ---
    And now, Sunny Passion will be at our fes!
[09:13] ---
    Love Live! Superstar!!
[09:18] ---
    So precious!
[09:21] ---
    You have this giant poster at home?
[09:23] ---
    But of course!
[09:25] ---
    The reason I wanted to come to Japan
    is because I saw their concert!
[09:30] ---
    She can warm up your heart
    with the brightness of a sunflower.
[09:34] ---
    Sunny Pas's sun, Yuuna Hijirisawa-sama.
[09:37] ---
    She astounds us with her
    unmatched beauty and elegance.
[09:39] ---
    Sunny Pas's Sexy Night...
    Mao Hiiragi-sama.
[09:44] ---
    They're that amazing, huh?
[09:46] ---
    And they're going to perform
    at the fes you're in?
[09:49] ---
    Yes! Very suddenly!
[09:50] ---
    Oh, I can't believe we're going to be on
    the same stage as Sunny Pas-sama!
[10:00] ---
    Yeah, they're definitely
    last year's Tokyo reps, all right.
[10:02] ---
    They're on another level.
[10:04] ---
    If they're competing,
    they'll probably get first place...
[10:07] ---
    Of course, they will!
[10:08] ---
    Sunny Pas will definitely
    place first at this fes!
[10:13] ---
    But in order for Kanon-san and I
    to continue being school idols...
[10:17] ---
    We have to place first at this fes...
[10:26] ---
    You finally got it?
[10:27] ---
    Looks like it.
[10:29] ---
    I don't think we can win.
[10:31] ---
    What should we do?
[10:33] ---
    You have five days until the show.
[10:35] ---
    I'm sure making your practices
    a bit harder won't exactly help...
[10:38] ---
    And we have to keep in mind that
    Keke-chan's going to sing everything.
[10:43] ---
    I'm sorry.
[10:45] ---
    It's okay! I can support you,
    Kanon-san! Just watch!
[10:51] ---
    One, two, three.
[10:55] ---
    See? After practicing every day,
    I've gotten much better.
[10:59] ---
    If I keep this up, I'm sure that
    everything will be perfect at our show!
[11:07] ---
    Well, I'm heading home.
[11:09] ---
    Chi-chan?
[11:10] ---
    It's getting pretty late.
    I've got dance practice after dinner.
[11:15] ---
    And... the time you two spend
    together is important, too.
[11:18] ---
    It's you two that'll be
    standing on that stage.
[11:21] ---
    See you later.
[11:26] ---
    I'm sorry. Please excuse me for a moment.
[11:32] ---
    Chisato-san!
[11:34] ---
    What's up?
[11:36] ---
    Um... I know this may sound weird
    all of a sudden, but...
[11:41] ---
    Are you interested in
    school idols, Chisato-san?
[11:46] ---
    I am.
[11:47] ---
    Really?!
[11:48] ---
    But...
[11:50] ---
    I have dance.
[11:52] ---
    My biggest goal right now is to
    make a name for myself as a dancer.
[11:56] ---
    I don't have time to
    try to balance out both.
[12:00] ---
    Kanon-chan's really serious
    about this, too,
[12:01] ---
    so I can't participate
    with lukewarm feelings.
[12:04] ---
    I'm sorry.
[12:05] ---
    No, I'm sorry.
[12:07] ---
    I just thought Kanon-san would be
    really happy if you joined us.
[12:13] ---
    Thanks.
[12:20] ---
    Hello?
[12:28] ---
    Were you able to take that call okay?
[12:29] ---
    Yes. My older sister was worried about me.
[12:32] ---
    I see. That's nice of her.
[12:35] ---
    I guess I'll head home, too.
[12:36] ---
    Um!
[12:38] ---
    I actually just invited
    Chisato-santo join us again.
[12:44] ---
    But she said she has dancing
    to concentrate on...
[12:47] ---
    I see.
[12:49] ---
    But please don't get the wrong idea!
[12:51] ---
    I want to stand on the same stage as you!
[12:54] ---
    That hasn't changed!
[12:57] ---
    Yeah... That makes me really happy.
[13:00] ---
    But I was thinking...
[13:03] ---
    At this rate, it's going to be really hard
    for us to get first place.
[13:07] ---
    Meaning, your dreams
    might come to an end...
[13:12] ---
    Because of me.
[13:15] ---
    You came here all the way from Shanghai
    because you wanted to do something.
[13:19] ---
    Your dreams have just begun...
[13:25] ---
    And if...
[13:27] ---
    And if you have to give up
    on those dreams because of me...
[13:32] ---
    I would never be able to apologize enough!
[13:34] ---
    I'm just holding you back!
[13:37] ---
    I can't get up on that stage knowing that!
[13:45] ---
    I'm sorry, Keke-chan. I'm sorry!
[13:50] ---
    Please don't talk so badly about yourself.
[13:53] ---
    I'd have to pity myself
    because you stole my heart then.
[13:59] ---
    My family is very strict with academics,
    so all I ever did was study.
[14:06] ---
    I didn't really have anything
    I wanted to do
[14:09] ---
    so I figured that's all I ever needed
    in life, and it was the right thing to do.
[14:15] ---
    But then...
[14:17] ---
    I saw them.
[14:19] ---
    As soon as I saw them,
    I thought, "This is it!"
[14:22] ---
    I want to be able to sing what I'm feeling
    or experiencing freely.
[14:27] ---
    I felt that same excitement
    the first time I heard you sing.
[14:33] ---
    That's why you're a star to me,
    Kanon-san! You're my dream!
[14:38] ---
    Please cheer up!
[14:40] ---
    Standing on stage with you
    is one of my dreams.
[14:45] ---
    But...
[14:46] ---
    Let's make it the best performance ever!
[14:52] ---
    I'm going to sing!
[14:54] ---
    Kanon-san...
[14:56] ---
    You're working so hard!
[14:59] ---
    You're wanting to stand on stage
    with me despite how I am.
[15:04] ---
    I'll believe in myself as much as possible
    and do everything that I can!
[15:10] ---
    Kanon-san!
[15:14] ---
    You can just call me "Kanon."
[15:17] ---
    Just call me "Kanon."
[15:20] ---
    "4 days until the fes!
    Let's do this!!"
[15:22] ---
    One, two, three, four,
    five, six, seven, eight!
[15:25] ---
    One, two, three, four,
    five, six, seven, eight!
[15:26] ---
    "Easy Vocal Training"
[15:29] ---
    One, two, three, four,
    five, six, seven, eight!
[15:32] ---
    "1 more day until the fes!"
[15:32] ---
    One, two, three, four,
    five, six, seven, eight!
[15:36] ---
    One, two, three, four,
    five, six, seven, eight!
[15:39] ---
    One, two, three, four...
[15:46] ---
    Good job!
[15:48] ---
    It's impressive that you were able to
    do this in such a short amount of time!
[15:51] ---
    I can't anymore!
[15:52] ---
    I can't breathe!
[15:54] ---
    Again, great job!
[15:56] ---
    Okay, it's finally showtime!
[16:03] ---
    So many people...
[16:05] ---
    School idols are so amazing!
    I dreamed about this stage!
[16:08] ---
    What should I do? I'm getting nervous.
[16:11] ---
    If you think you can sing,
    just give me a sign in the beginning.
[16:15] ---
    Keep your head up even if you can't sing.
[16:18] ---
    I will sing for the both of us!
[16:20] ---
    Thank you.
[16:24] ---
    It's starting!
[16:25] ---
    Hurry!
[16:26] ---
    What?
[16:28] ---
    Kuukaa!
[16:34] ---
    You've got this, Sis!
[16:39] ---
    I'm gonna go have a look.
[16:41] ---
    All right.
[16:42] ---
    It's about to start.
[16:45] ---
    Yeah.
[16:55] ---
    It'll be okay.
[16:56] ---
    It'll be okay,
    it'll be okay, it'll be okay.
[17:00] ---
    It'll be okay, it'll be okay.
[17:03] ---
    It'll be okay, it'll be okay.
[17:05] ---
    It'll be okay, it'll be okay,
    it'll be okay, it'll be okay...
[17:15] ---
    No wonder there haven't been
    any scouts in town.
[17:18] ---
    It'll be okay, it'll be okay,
    it'll be okay, it'll be okay...
[17:22] ---
    Keke-chan.
[17:25] ---
    What are those two doing?
[17:32] ---
    Oh, no! Now I've done it!
    I've really done it this time!
[17:46] ---
    I've really done it this time!
[17:48] ---
    What's going on?
[18:07] ---
    Kanon! Look!
[18:27] ---
    It's so beautiful!
[18:30] ---
    You can do it!
[18:32] ---
    Don't give up!
[18:33] ---
    Sing!
[18:48] ---
    I can sing... because I'm not alone!
[18:51] ---
    This should do it!
[18:53] ---
    A shooting star races through
[18:57] ---
    We chase after it and become stars
[19:00] ---
    Sparkle!
[19:15] ---
    In this night sky where nothing can be seen,
    we see a shooting star shoot across
[19:21] ---
    It shined so brilliantly
    that it gave us courage
[19:29] ---
    Maybe one day we can be like that, too
[19:35] ---
    Hope has brought us
    the scent of a new season
[19:42] ---
    Hello (Hello) My Dream
[19:44] ---
    Let's start something new
    (even if it's scary)
[19:48] ---
    Let's go (we'll be fine)
    just like (always)
[19:52] ---
    Our bond is right here
[19:55] ---
    A shooting star races through
[19:58] ---
    We chase after it and become stars
[20:02] ---
    We won't stop, we can't stop,
    even if we're still small
[20:09] ---
    Because we're not alone
[20:12] ---
    We can continue forward
    without giving up
[20:16] ---
    The Tiny Stars shine
    as many times as we've gotten back up
[20:24] ---
    I believe (but that's not enough)
    to make anything come true
[20:30] ---
    Until it comes true (we'll have to
    keep running) through the darkness
[20:38] ---
    This shining shooting star
[20:41] ---
    We chase after it and become stars
[20:45] ---
    We won't stop, we can't stop,
    even if we're still small
[20:51] ---
    Because we want to continue dreaming
[20:55] ---
    The same dream together forever
[20:59] ---
    Let's hold our hands together tightly
    and go, Tiny Stars
[21:05] ---
    Sparkle!
[21:27] ---
    Galaxy!
[21:42] ---
    You're not going to talk to them?
[21:43] ---
    I'm the type that keeps her favorite
    foods and things for last.
[21:48] ---
    We did it... We did it!
[21:52] ---
    We won the special
    newcomer award that day.
[21:56] ---
    But of course, Sunny Passion
    took first place.
[22:00] ---
    So we might not be able to
    continue being school idols.
[22:05] ---
    But I don't regret anything.
[22:07] ---
    "Yuigaoka Girls' High School Idols
    Win the Special Newcomer Award!!"
[22:08] ---
    Because I was able to put on
    the best performance with Keke-chan,
[22:10] ---
    just like we promised!
[22:15] ---
    The future is calling to us
[22:18] ---
    Like the wind
[22:21] ---
    No one knows what the future holds for us
[22:29] ---
    Even then, we want to move forward
[22:32] ---
    Because we don't want to have any regrets
[22:35] ---
    You can't hold down our hearts
[22:39] ---
    Let's all be free
[22:43] ---
    We're not going to give up!
[22:47] ---
    Because we decided that
[22:50] ---
    We'll cry, laugh, and do our best
[22:53] ---
    We all want to surpass our limits
[22:58] ---
    It's important to believe
[23:02] ---
    And once we told ourselves that
[23:05] ---
    Let's try to go even further
[23:12] ---
    We may be small, but we have big dreams
[23:20] ---
    We won't give in, now, let's fly together
[23:27] ---
    Let's fly the best we can,
    now, let's fly together

    Previously on Love Live! Superstar!!
[00:03] ---
    Keke-chan and Kanon-chan participated
    in a fes that would determine
[00:07] ---
    if they could create
    their school idol club. But...
[00:09] ---
    What?!
[00:10] ---
    Kanon-chan suddenly couldn't sing
    in front of people again.
[00:12] ---
    We have to place first at that fes, too...
[00:15] ---
    Both of them didn't give up
    until Kanon-chan could sing again.
[00:18] ---
    And then, the day of the fes...
[00:22] ---
    It's so beautiful!
[00:23] ---
    It was the first fes and they managed to
    get the special newcomer award!
[00:26] ---
    "Yuigaoka Girls' High School Idols
    Win the Special Newcomer Award!!"
[00:27] ---
    That's amazing! I'm going to
    do my best with dancing, too!
[00:31] ---
    All right, everyone, get to your places.
[00:34] ---
    Yes, ma'am.
[00:36] ---
    Very good. You all look adorable.
[00:38] ---
    Sumire-chan!
[00:42] ---
    We're counting on you.
[00:44] ---
    Okay...
[00:51] ---
    Ugh! This always happens to me.
[00:56] ---
    Excuse me.
[00:58] ---
    Pardon me. Here's my card.
[01:04] ---
    A talent agency... scout... wait!
[01:08] ---
    I know this is sudden, but I'm a scout.
[01:13] ---
    Your looks! That overflowing aura!
    You are truly perfect
[01:17] ---
    to play a passerby!
[01:19] ---
    Galaxy?!
[01:21] ---
    You can't stop real dreams
[01:27] ---
    Our hearts are about to start running
[01:32] ---
    "Love Live! Superstar!!"
[01:49] ---
    Before we knew it,
    we found something that we loved
[01:53] ---
    Let these feelings reach you
[01:57] ---
    We've made up our minds, we're serious!
[02:00] ---
    I wonder what we can do
[02:02] ---
    The sky's so bright
[02:04] ---
    Let's look up at it
    and sing our hearts out
[02:10] ---
    Doesn't having something you want to do
[02:14] ---
    Make every day fun?
[02:16] ---
    Do you feel that way, too?
[02:22] ---
    Ah, we've been waiting for this moment
[02:24] ---
    This encounter is where we start
[02:27] ---
    Our dreams are drawn together,
    and it all begins
[02:32] ---
    We realized our true desires and now,
    we can't be stopped
[02:38] ---
    Our hearts are about to start running
[02:43] ---
    As fast as they can run
[02:52] ---
    "Street Corner Galaxy"
[02:53] ---
    Passerby? Honestly!
[02:55] ---
    If you just wanted me to be an extra,
    just say so. How convoluted.
[02:59] ---
    Why do you think I walk down
    that street every single day
[03:02] ---
    --without actually anything to do there...
    --So you got your club?
[03:04] ---
    --Yeah! We suddenly got
    called to the director's office,
[03:05] ---
    --Sneaky sneak...
    --Yeah! We suddenly got
    called to the director's office,
[03:07] ---
    so I was worried she'd tell us no, but...
[03:10] ---
    Apparently the fact that
[03:12] ---
    we got a special award despite it being
    our first performance was in our favor.
[03:17] ---
    We got tons of new followers, too! Look!
[03:20] ---
    Wow! Two thousand?!
[03:21] ---
    And the director said we could
    use the roof for practice!
[03:25] ---
    "Following"
    "Followers"
[03:40] ---
    Here are your keys to your club room.
[03:43] ---
    Th-Thanks.
[03:46] ---
    Um...
[03:49] ---
    We'll do our best.
[03:51] ---
    We'll do our best and
    make a name for ourselves
[03:54] ---
    so we can make this school proud.
    Then maybe you'll--
[03:57] ---
    Then do anything other than
    be school idols.
[04:02] ---
    I'd be more than happy to support you
[04:04] ---
    in anything other than being school idols.
[04:08] ---
    We're not changing our minds.
[04:09] ---
    After singing on that stage, I realized
    how wonderful school idols are.
[04:15] ---
    We're going to practice even more
    and put on an even better show.
[04:18] ---
    We want to sing even better songs.
[04:20] ---
    Unfortunately, I highly doubt you'd
    be able to win at the current Love Live.
[04:30] ---
    Sneaky, sneaky, sneaky, sneak.
[04:33] ---
    What are school idols?
[04:36] ---
    Idols who perform at school...
[04:39] ---
    So basically amateurs.
[04:42] ---
    A shooting star races through
[04:43] ---
    This is from the other day.
[04:45] ---
    We chase after it and become stars
[04:46] ---
    So they were school idols. In that case...
[04:49] ---
    We won't stop...
[04:51] ---
    Let's see... 4-B. 4-B...
[04:55] ---
    Is it really this way?
[04:57] ---
    All the other club rooms are
    in the new school building...
[05:00] ---
    Yeah. When I looked at the map,
    it said it was over here.
[05:04] ---
    But I wonder why we have two keys.
[05:06] ---
    I found it.
[05:10] ---
    "School Idol Club"
[05:11] ---
    School... Idol Club?
[05:14] ---
    I wonder if the director
    put this sign here.
[05:17] ---
    This place sure looks old...
[05:22] ---
    I wouldn't be surprised
    if there were ghosts.
[05:26] ---
    Are you scared, Kanon?
[05:28] ---
    Of course not!
[05:29] ---
    But before we open it...
[05:31] ---
    You... saw... me...
[05:37] ---
    Stop messing around!
[05:39] ---
    Sorry, my bad. You just got so scared.
[05:42] ---
    Someone's here.
[05:43] ---
    No way!
[05:50] ---
    Excuse me...
[05:52] ---
    Who are you?
[05:55] ---
    I'm...
[05:57] ---
    Don't worry! She's got feet!
[05:58] ---
    Really?
[06:01] ---
    Heanna-san?
[06:03] ---
    I heard this was the club room
    for the School Idol Club.
[06:07] ---
    Did you need something?
[06:09] ---
    Well... You see, I'm a bit curious
    about school idols.
[06:15] ---
    You're curious? Wait, doesn't at mean...
[06:18] ---
    Do you wish to join?
[06:19] ---
    Not exactly. I just wanted
    to hear about it.
[06:22] ---
    School idols are magnificent!
    They're the best!
[06:24] ---
    Filled with the brilliance of youth
    and they're the best in the universe!
[06:27] ---
    Just write your name here
    and your class here and you, too,
[06:30] ---
    can be a school idol starting today!
[06:33] ---
    Keke-chan...
[06:34] ---
    Let's rewind just a bit.
[06:39] ---
    Whoa.
[06:40] ---
    This is even more amazing
    than what I saw before...
[06:43] ---
    Such a huge stage.
[06:45] ---
    Yes! This is the stage
    for the finals at Love Live.
[06:49] ---
    So many people come to watch!
[06:51] ---
    If we make it here,
    we'll be famous, right?
[06:54] ---
    But of course! Sunny Passion won
    last year, and they're currently--
[06:58] ---
    "Following"
    "Followers"
[07:01] ---
    98,000... Galaxy!
[07:05] ---
    Galaxy?
[07:07] ---
    I'm in. I'm absolutely, totally
    going to do it. I'll be a school idol.
[07:10] ---
    Are you sure?
[07:11] ---
    Yes. Let's do our best together.
[07:15] ---
    Now you have three.
[07:22] ---
    It's so huge!
[07:24] ---
    I never knew this place existed.
[07:26] ---
    We could practice
    with so many people here!
[07:29] ---
    So... What did you want me to do?
[07:33] ---
    Well... Let's start off with
    some simple steps.
[07:39] ---
    Can you do that?
[07:44] ---
    Wow...
[07:46] ---
    You're so good!
[07:47] ---
    Yeah. Looks like you've got
    the basics down. Then how about this?
[07:51] ---
    That's nothing.
[07:54] ---
    Wow...
[07:55] ---
    Is this what they mean when
    someone can think on their feet?
[08:00] ---
    Probably.
[08:01] ---
    Wait... Did you always
    want to be a school idol?
[08:04] ---
    Huh? Not exactly.
[08:07] ---
    I... just used to be in show business.
[08:10] ---
    Show business...
[08:12] ---
    Wait... like TV?
[08:14] ---
    Yeah, a few times.
[08:15] ---
    No way...
[08:16] ---
    This is fate! This is destiny!
    We're destined to win the Love Live!
[08:21] ---
    Well, I did see watch some videos
    of the group who won the Love Live
[08:26] ---
    and I figured I could beat them.
[08:28] ---
    Really? I thought it was
    totally impossible.
[08:32] ---
    So... About the center.
[08:36] ---
    Center?
[08:37] ---
    Yes. You're a group,
    so you'll need a center.
[08:41] ---
    Oh, right. It was just
    the two of us the other day,
[08:44] ---
    so I didn't really think about that.
[08:46] ---
    I guess we will have to decide that
    if it becomes the three of us.
[08:49] ---
    I mean, there are various ways
    you can go about this...
[08:53] ---
    I choose Kanon.
[08:54] ---
    But it's best if
    the best dancer and singer...
[08:58] ---
    Huh?
[08:59] ---
    I choose Kanon!
[09:01] ---
    Yeah, I think Kanon-chan
    should be the center, too.
[09:04] ---
    Kanon-chan's the only option.
    The one who created this group is...
[09:09] ---
    Yes, it was Kanon.
[09:11] ---
    Hold up!
[09:14] ---
    I-Is it really that simple?
[09:17] ---
    What do you mean?
[09:18] ---
    The past and future don't really matter.
[09:20] ---
    If you want to win, you need someone
    with experience and talent in the center.
[09:23] ---
    Isn't that obvious?
[09:25] ---
    Exactly.
[09:26] ---
    But that's not all it takes
    to be a center.
[09:29] ---
    You also need something like charisma
    that you can't see with your eyes.
[09:33] ---
    That might be true, but how do you
    measure something like that?
[09:38] ---
    "School Idol Center Elections!!"
[09:40] ---
    We are currently holding an election
    at the School Idol Club
[09:44] ---
    to decide who should be the center.
[09:46] ---
    Please vote for whoever you think
    should represent our school!
[09:51] ---
    This is embarrassing.
[09:52] ---
    Well, you're a school idol now.
[09:59] ---
    Don't worry. This isn't like
    an audition or getting scouted.
[10:03] ---
    I just have to beat these two.
    That should be...
[10:08] ---
    No way...
[10:09] ---
    "Sumire" "Keke" "Kanon" "Voting Results"
[10:10] ---
    See? I knew they'd pick Kanon-chan.
[10:11] ---
    "Congrats on being the center!
    Kanon"
[10:13] ---
    Exactly what I thought!
[10:15] ---
    Why don't you become
    the club president, too?
[10:18] ---
    What? Wait a sec. That seems a bit...
[10:24] ---
    I won't accept this.
[10:27] ---
    I absolutely, totally
    will not accept this!
[10:29] ---
    Why, though? I'm totally better than you
    in both singing and dancing.
[10:34] ---
    This is what everyone decided
    after you girls showed your stuff.
[10:38] ---
    Probably something with aura... Flair...
[10:41] ---
    Kanon seems more like
    the center than you and me.
[10:52] ---
    I quit.
[10:54] ---
    Hmph. If I can't be the center,
    there's no point in me being here.
[11:00] ---
    Wait... Sumire-chan?
[11:02] ---
    Ow!
[11:04] ---
    Sumire-chan!
[11:21] ---
    We're not going to be able to
    practice today at this rate.
[11:25] ---
    Let's go home.
[11:26] ---
    Chi-chan, thanks for always
    spending so much time with us.
[11:30] ---
    I want to help you two out!
    Don't even worry about it.
[11:34] ---
    Well, see you two later.
[11:39] ---
    What?
[11:40] ---
    I mean, if we let her be the center,
    Sumire-chan won't leave.
[11:45] ---
    Then let's let her do it.
[11:47] ---
    I'm not so sure about that...
[11:49] ---
    Every school idol
    dreams of being the center.
[11:51] ---
    You should be proud.
[11:53] ---
    I wonder why Sumire-chan
    seems so obsessed about that...
[12:19] ---
    What is she doing?
[12:24] ---
    Excuse me...
[12:25] ---
    Yes?
[12:26] ---
    Do you know where the station is?
[12:29] ---
    Don't talk to me if you're not a scout!
[12:36] ---
    A scout?
[12:53] ---
    Giant isopod... Giant isopod...
[12:57] ---
    Giant, giant, giant... Giant isopod..
[13:01] ---
    Giant isopod...
[13:04] ---
    That's so cute. So that's
    show business, huh?
[13:09] ---
    You... saw... it...
[13:14] ---
    S-Sumire-chan?
[13:19] ---
    No!
[13:24] ---
    Love Live! Superstar!!
[13:33] ---
    Where... Huh? What the heck?
[13:37] ---
    What's...
[13:39] ---
    What is this?!
[13:43] ---
    Good morning.
[13:45] ---
    Sumire-chan...?
[13:47] ---
    You saw something that
    you shouldn't have seen. And so...
[13:52] ---
    ...you'll just have to forget it.
[13:54] ---
    Those clothes...
    Wait, are you from a shrine...
[13:57] ---
    Don't worry. It'll be over quickly
    if you just stay still.
[14:01] ---
    Let's see... "Once you've gotten this far,
[14:04] ---
    you will beat your target over the head
    a hundred times to make them forget"...
[14:08] ---
    You're on-the-spot learning?!
[14:09] ---
    "The Rules to Curses"
[14:09] ---
    "Next, dump two liters of holy water
    on them, tie them up"...
[14:13] ---
    Hold up!
[14:14] ---
    Quiet!
[14:16] ---
    Wh-What's going on?
    I can't seem to remember anything.
[14:27] ---
    Giant isopod... Giant isopod...
[14:31] ---
    Giant, giant, giant... Giant isopod...
[14:35] ---
    Giant isopod... Giant isopod...
[14:40] ---
    -- Giant, giant, giant...
    Giant isopod...
[14:41] ---
    --I'm sorry, I lied.
    It's stuck in my head.
    -- Giant, giant, giant... Giant isopod...
[14:44] ---
    I'm sure it is. Don't worry.
    I'll put you out of your misery.
[14:48] ---
    Wait, wait, wait! I won't tell anyone.
    I promise I won't!
[14:51] ---
    You tracked me all the way here.
    Like I can trust you.
[14:54] ---
    I didn't track you here.
[14:57] ---
    I was just wondering why
    you want to be the center so badly.
[15:07] ---
    Can I get this good luck charm?
[15:09] ---
    So this is where I was locked up?
[15:13] ---
    Here.
[15:15] ---
    Thanks.
[15:21] ---
    It's exactly what it looks like.
[15:25] ---
    Ever since I was little,
    I did a bunch of auditions,
[15:30] ---
    because I wanted to be the star.
[15:32] ---
    I worked really hard
    when I was a child actress...
[15:36] ---
    --But no matter how hard I tried,
    I would always end up with a small role.
[15:39] ---
    -- Giant isopod... Giant isopod...
    --But no matter how hard I tried,
    I would always end up with a small role.
[15:42] ---
    So that's why you wanted to be the center.
[15:45] ---
    Yeah.
[15:46] ---
    You guys are amateurs,
    so I figured I'd have the upper hand.
[15:50] ---
    But I guess not.
[15:52] ---
    You don't know for sure though.
[15:55] ---
    No, this settles it.
[15:58] ---
    It just wasn't meant to be with me.
[16:03] ---
    No matter how hard I try,
    I'll never be able to shine in the center.
[16:09] ---
    Tell the other two that I'm sorry.
[16:16] ---
    She thought she'd have the upper hand
    against school idols...
[16:19] ---
    I beg your pardon?
[16:21] ---
    Keke-chan?
[16:22] ---
    That is absolutely insulting
    to school idols! Blasphemy!
[16:27] ---
    Well, Sumire-chan did apologize...
[16:30] ---
    I thought she was serious,
    but she tricked me!
[16:33] ---
    I shall punish her!
[16:35] ---
    Punish...?
[16:36] ---
    First, I'll start with ice down her back,
    then about ten minutes of tickling...
[16:45] ---
    Wait.
[16:47] ---
    Get your ass to the roof
    at lunchtime... please.
[16:53] ---
    Didn't you hear? I'm not interested
    in school idols any...
[16:55] ---
    Your ass better be there... please.
[17:01] ---
    What are we going to do?
[17:09] ---
    You're late!
[17:11] ---
    What did you want?
[17:12] ---
    You insulted school idols.
[17:15] ---
    So I shall punish you
    on behalf of all the school idols.
[17:19] ---
    What? I apologized already.
[17:22] ---
    Do you know how serious school idols
    work to stand on that stage?
[17:27] ---
    And you had the nerve to say
    you'd have the upper hand?
[17:33] ---
    There.
[17:35] ---
    Sumire-chan...
[17:39] ---
    I worked so hard to do that dance.
[17:42] ---
    Don't underestimate show business.
[17:45] ---
    This is nothing.
[17:48] ---
    Even then, the spotlight
    will never shine down on me.
[17:50] ---
    Even in this world of amateurs.
[17:54] ---
    We are not amateurs!
[17:57] ---
    Again?
[18:00] ---
    Move.
[18:08] ---
    School idols, right?
[18:09] ---
    Yeah, apparently they're
    practicing on the roof.
[18:15] ---
    Why did you open up the roof to them?
[18:18] ---
    Because there was nowhere else.
[18:20] ---
    But...
[18:21] ---
    They are clearly working hard,
    so I don't believe
[18:24] ---
    that we should take away
    their opportunity to grow.
[18:27] ---
    Don't you think that's
    what your mother would say?
[18:37] ---
    I guess it's not going to stop.
[18:39] ---
    What are you going to do
    about Sumire-chan?
[18:42] ---
    Well...
[18:43] ---
    I get how she feels,
[18:45] ---
    because I thought the same thing
    when I couldn't sing.
[18:48] ---
    That it was my fate.
    There's no point in trying.
[18:52] ---
    But that wasn't really the case, right?
[18:54] ---
    Yeah...
[18:55] ---
    Then I think you need to tell her.
[19:00] ---
    No matter how hard I try,
    I'll never be able to shine in the center.
[19:05] ---
    Right now, the one who can understand
    Sumire-chan the most is...
[19:22] ---
    --I guess people really don't
    show up when it's raining.
[19:24] ---
    --Next up,
    --I guess people really don't
    show up when it's raining.
[19:25] ---
    we have a song from the winners of
    the special newcomer award, Kuukaa!
[19:27] ---
    This shining shooting star
[19:31] ---
    We chase after it and become stars
[19:34] ---
    We won't stop, we can't stop,
    even if we're still small
[19:41] ---
    Because we want to continue dreaming
[19:45] ---
    The same dream together forever
[19:49] ---
    Let's hold our hands together tightly
    and go, Tiny Stars
[19:52] ---
    I just...
[19:54] ---
    Found you!
[19:55] ---
    Sparkle!
[19:57] ---
    I figured you'd be here.
[19:59] ---
    You're so persistent.
[20:01] ---
    I wanted to talk to you.
[20:05] ---
    Sumire Heanna-san...
[20:07] ---
    Here's my card!
[20:10] ---
    "Yuigaoka Girls' High School Idol Club
    Kanon Shibuya"
[20:12] ---
    Huh?
[20:13] ---
    Sumire-san, I've come to scout you!
[20:17] ---
    In order for us to continue
    being school idols,
[20:20] ---
    we need to produce worthy results.
[20:23] ---
    I want you to help us out with your
    show business wisdom and techniques.
[20:28] ---
    I told you, I'm--
[20:30] ---
    If you want the center position,
    come take it from me.
[20:34] ---
    When I saw you, I decided that
    I wanted to be center.
[20:40] ---
    So come take it from me.
[20:42] ---
    I think if we compete over it,
    it'll also help the group.
[20:46] ---
    Don't mock me. You saw me.
[20:48] ---
    I was actually in show business.
[20:51] ---
    There's no way I'd lose
    to a newbie amateur--
[20:53] ---
    Then prove it.
[20:57] ---
    How much?
[20:59] ---
    I'm asking you how much
    you're going to pay!
[21:01] ---
    If you're going to scout me,
    I obviously need my down payment.
[21:05] ---
    Why would--
[21:06] ---
    I have it.
[21:12] ---
    That's from my shrine...
[21:15] ---
    How about that?
[21:21] ---
    This doesn't work at all.
[21:23] ---
    Really?
[21:25] ---
    I mean...
[21:27] ---
    Oh, it's the same.
[21:31] ---
    But we don't know for sure yet.
[21:38] ---
    As long as you don't give up,
    your dream just might be further up ahead.
[21:49] ---
    It's sunny!
[21:51] ---
    It's summer!
[21:52] ---
    Woohoo!
[21:58] ---
    All right, let's begin.
[22:02] ---
    Sumire-chan!
[22:04] ---
    Starting today, I'll teach you...
[22:08] ---
    ...the real world of show business!
[22:13] ---
    Galaxy!
[22:15] ---
    The future is calling to us
[22:18] ---
    Like the wind
[22:21] ---
    No one knows what the future holds for us
[22:29] ---
    Even then, we want to move forward
[22:32] ---
    Because we don't want to have any regrets
[22:35] ---
    You can't hold down our hearts
[22:39] ---
    Let's all be free
[22:43] ---
    We're not going to give up!
[22:47] ---
    Because we decided that
[22:50] ---
    We'll cry, laugh, and do our best
[22:53] ---
    We all want to surpass our limits
[22:58] ---
    It's important to believe
[23:02] ---
    And once we told ourselves that
[23:05] ---
    Let's try to go even further
[23:12] ---
    We may be small, but we have big dreams
[23:20] ---
    We won't give in, now, let's fly together
[23:27] ---
    Let's fly the best we can,
    now, let's fly together
[23:37] ---
    Next time, "Passion Island."

    I had always wanted to be
    a star ever since I was little.
[00:06] ---
    Giant isopod
[00:08] ---
    And then, I found out about school idols.
[00:11] ---
    98,000...
[00:13] ---
    I'm in. I'm absolutely,
    totally going to do it.
[00:15] ---
    But since I lost the center position,
    I was disappointed and decided to leave.
[00:15] ---
    "Sumire" "Keke" "Kanon" "Voting Results"
[00:19] ---
    If you want the center position,
    come take it from me.
[00:21] ---
    Your dream just might be further up ahead.
[00:25] ---
    And that's how Kanon and the others were
    able to scout someone as fabulous as me.
[00:29] ---
    Galaxy!
[00:44] ---
    Arashi-san, do you have a moment?
[00:48] ---
    Contest?
[00:49] ---
    Yes. There's a contest that's going to be
    held during summer vacation
[00:53] ---
    and they want one of
    our students to compete.
[00:56] ---
    We were hoping you would be able to do it.
[01:00] ---
    And it's this month...
[01:02] ---
    What do you think?
[01:07] ---
    Please give me some time
    to think about it.
[01:11] ---
    You can't stop real dreams
[01:17] ---
    Our hearts are about to start running
[01:22] ---

[01:39] ---
    Before we knew it,
    we found something that we loved
[01:43] ---
    Let these feelings reach you
[01:47] ---
    We've made up our minds, we're serious!
[01:50] ---
    I wonder what we can do
[01:52] ---
    The sky's so bright
[01:54] ---
    Let's look up at it
    and sing our hearts out
[02:00] ---
    Doesn't having something you want to do
[02:04] ---
    Make every day fun?
[02:06] ---
    Do you feel that way, too?
[02:12] ---
    Ah, we've been waiting for this moment
[02:14] ---
    This encounter is where we start
[02:17] ---
    Our dreams are drawn together,
    and it all begins
[02:22] ---
    We realized our true desires and now,
    we can't be stopped
[02:28] ---
    Our hearts are about to start running
[02:33] ---
    As fast as they can run

[02:49] ---
    How is it so hot?
[02:51] ---
    We're finally done with exams and were
    supposed to start practice today...
[02:55] ---
    It's like the hottest day ever.
[02:57] ---
    We're supposed to make sure to stay
    hydrated and avoid outdoor activities.
[03:01] ---
    Well, yeah. Practicing outside
    in this isn't happening.
[03:05] ---
    What are you talking about?
    Love Live entries are starting soon.
[03:10] ---
    Love Live?
[03:12] ---
    You don't even know what that is?!
[03:14] ---
    How would I? I have no interest
    in amateur competitions.
[03:17] ---
    It's not amateur! The Love Live is
    a national event for school idols!
[03:23] ---
    And the event this year is the biggest yet
    with the highest possibility of entrants!
[03:28] ---
    Hmph! When I say amateur, I mean amateur.
[03:32] ---
    I've been living in
    show business after all.
[03:36] ---
    You mean as a giant isopod?
[03:38] ---
    Ka-no-n!
[03:40] ---
    Er, Keke-chan really wanted to know...
[03:44] ---
    But it's amazing that Sumire-chan
    fit in so quickly.
[03:47] ---
    And it seems like Keke-chan
    really loves her, too.
[03:52] ---
    How?! I've been against someone so
    irresponsible joining us from the start!
[03:57] ---
    I'm not irresponsible.
[03:58] ---
    I'm just saying that realistically,
    we're not going to be able to practice!
[04:01] ---
    That's not true!
[04:07] ---
    You okay?
[04:08] ---
    Yes! It's perfectly fine out here!
[04:12] ---
    Actually, I can feel a breeze here,
    so it's actually coo...
[04:18] ---
    Coo?
[04:19] ---
    Coo...
[04:21] ---
    Keke-chan!
[04:24] ---
    I thought I was going to die...
[04:26] ---
    Yeah, let's just not.
[04:28] ---
    There's no air conditioning
    in here, either.
[04:30] ---
    Isn't there somewhere cool
    we can practice?
[04:33] ---
    Well, there are the lesson rooms
    for the music program...
[04:36] ---
    Really?!
[04:37] ---
    But we're in the regular curriculum
    so we won't be able to use them.
[04:41] ---
    Right.
[04:42] ---
    We might be able to if Chisato asks
    since she's in the music program.
[04:46] ---
    You use them all the time, right?
[04:47] ---
    Nice idea!
[04:48] ---
    Let's not. Even if they say okay,
[04:52] ---
    that's not fair to
    the other kids in our program.
[04:54] ---
    I don't think it's right for us
    to have to ask to let us use it.
[04:59] ---
    I mean, we all go to the same school.
[05:01] ---
    But that's how this school is.
    The music program is special.
[05:08] ---
    Okay, it's been five minutes.
[05:11] ---
    Okay!
[05:12] ---
    Here we go! Ready, and...
[05:15] ---
    First comes rock! Rock-paper-scissors!
[05:17] ---
    --Yay!
    --Galaxy!
[05:20] ---
    Here!
[05:22] ---
    Get fanning, loser!
[05:29] ---
    How relaxing...
[05:31] ---
    Having air conditioning is bliss.
[05:33] ---
    Yeah, but we're not going to
    be able to practice here.
[05:37] ---
    What if we cleared out your room a bit?
[05:41] ---
    Well, my dad's working, so...
[05:44] ---
    And I can't be too loud
    at my place either.
[05:49] ---
    I know. What about your place,
    Sumire-chan? It's a shrine.
[05:52] ---
    There's some shade there, right?
[05:54] ---
    Yeah... but there's not much room.
[05:58] ---
    That's fine, as long as
    the three of us can practice.
[06:01] ---
    Yes! Even if it's no bigger than
    the forehead of a cat.
[06:06] ---
    Really?
[06:12] ---
    Welcome in--
[06:15] ---
    Hello.
[06:17] ---
    Pa!
[06:19] ---
    So you are here!
[06:21] ---
    Sunny... Passion!
[06:28] ---
    Huh?
[06:28] ---
    I asked you to pinch me!
[06:32] ---
    Here.
[06:34] ---
    That doesn't hurt.
[06:35] ---
    You're just numb from all the ice.
[06:38] ---
    I guess we should do proper introductions.
[06:41] ---
    I'm Yuuna from Sunny Passion.
[06:44] ---
    I'm Mao.
[06:45] ---
    It's nice to meet you!
[06:46] ---
    I'm Keke Tang.
[06:47] ---
    I came here from Shanghai because
    you inspired me to become a school idol.
[06:52] ---
    Your performances have always moved me
[06:55] ---
    and I've always tried to learn...
[06:57] ---
    Aiyah! You think I'm weird! This is bad!
[07:02] ---
    I need to cool down
    with some shaved ice...
[07:06] ---
    No, really. Calm down.
[07:08] ---
    Okay...
[07:10] ---
    A concert?
[07:11] ---
    Yeah. We do a concert every year
    during summer vacation on our island.
[07:17] ---
    We were hoping to invite you
    as this year's guests.
[07:21] ---
    To your concert?
[07:22] ---
    Are you sure?
[07:25] ---
    You don't need to be so reserved.
[07:27] ---
    It's not like the Love Live
    where we'll be ranked.
[07:31] ---
    Though the point of the concert
    is to liven up the island.
[07:35] ---
    What are you going to do?
[07:37] ---
    Well...
[07:41] ---
    You'll come too, right, Chi-chan?
[07:42] ---
    Huh? Sure...
[07:44] ---
    Then we'd love to! Please let us perform!
[07:47] ---
    Yay! See? I told you talking to them
    in person was the best idea.
[07:52] ---
    Well, it's not like they could have
    refused when we showed up like this.
[07:58] ---
    Are you sure about this?
[07:59] ---
    Yes, of course!
[08:01] ---
    If there are places for us
    to sing right now,
[08:04] ---
    we'd like to take every opportunity!
[08:07] ---
    I see you're a school idol
    through and through.
[08:12] ---
    I can see it in your face.
[08:13] ---
    R-Really?
[08:17] ---
    Anyway, we'll get back to you
    with the details.
[08:20] ---
    Aw, I'll miss you.
[08:23] ---
    It's time for our practice.
[08:25] ---
    We do it every day.
[08:26] ---
    I know. Why don't you practice with us?
[08:30] ---
    Yeah, is there anywhere
    to practice around here?
[08:35] ---
    There is!
[08:37] ---
    Lead us there immediately!
[08:39] ---
    To your shrine!
[08:43] ---
    Okay, fine...
[08:54] ---
    Wow...
[08:56] ---
    School idols are this skilled?
[08:59] ---
    Well, they are the Tokyo reps.
[09:02] ---
    I'm overjoyed. Now I can die
    without any regrets!
[09:06] ---
    I'm surprised you brought that.
[09:09] ---
    How do you usually practice?
[09:12] ---
    Huh? It's nothing special.
[09:16] ---
    Usually, we just have Chi-chan coach us.
[09:19] ---
    What's your regimen?
[09:20] ---
    It's impressive that you could put on
    such a performance as newcomers.
[09:24] ---
    So we were wondering
    what your practices were like.
[09:28] ---
    Of course, no worries if it's a secret.
[09:31] ---
    Oh, no. It's not a secret or anything.
[09:38] ---
    Who thought of this?
[09:40] ---
    Oh, me...
[09:43] ---
    It's very well thought out.
    You're not a school idol?
[09:47] ---
    No, I'm just helping out.
[09:50] ---
    Chi-chan's been dancing
    ever since she was little
[09:53] ---
    and is majoring in dance
    in our music program.
[09:58] ---
    I see, so that's why.
[10:01] ---
    Of course.
[10:04] ---
    Okay, why don't we go running?
[10:07] ---
    But the sun's still out.
[10:10] ---
    Oh, that's nothing. Come on, let's go.
[10:14] ---
    They're definitely from a tropical island.
[10:16] ---
    Are we going?
[10:18] ---
    Of course! They invited us! We're going!
[10:23] ---
    Guess we're going...
[10:25] ---
    Oh, you can wait here, Chi-chan.
[10:29] ---
    Sure...
[10:32] ---
    Thank you for everything today.
[10:34] ---
    No, we should be thanking you.
[10:37] ---
    See you at the concert.
[10:39] ---
    Yes.
[10:41] ---
    We will do it even if
    my life depends on it!
[10:44] ---
    Just shut up and drink some water.
[10:46] ---
    We'll be waiting for you.
[10:49] ---
    Oh, I've got something to do.
[10:54] ---
    Oh, sure...
[10:56] ---
    Um...
[10:59] ---
    Yes?
[11:01] ---
    There's something I wanted to ask you two.
[11:06] ---
    Can they win the Love Live?
[11:08] ---
    What do you think?
[11:09] ---
    If you stopped us just to ask us that,
[11:13] ---
    you must really want to know
    what we think.
[11:17] ---
    Yes.
[11:19] ---
    Well?
[11:20] ---
    We should probably tell her.
[11:23] ---
    They're great at singing
    and they work well as a team.
[11:27] ---
    But winning would be hard.
[11:30] ---
    There's something about them
    that's not their own...
[11:33] ---
    Particularly with their dancing.
[11:35] ---
    Their own...
[11:36] ---
    That's partially why
    we wanted to see them.
[11:40] ---
    They're good, but they
    lacked that extra enthusiasm.
[11:45] ---
    We figured it out when we heard
    that you were their coach.
[11:48] ---
    Huh?
[11:49] ---
    With their dancing right now,
    they all trust you and depend on you.
[11:55] ---
    But then they'll never be able to
    move forward on their own.
[12:01] ---
    But if you were a part of that group,
    they might've actually been a threat.
[12:17] ---
    What? You're not going to the concert?
[12:20] ---
    Yeah, not just that. I'm planning on doing
    something else this summer vacation.
[12:26] ---
    Away from all of you.
[12:28] ---
    Chi-chan...
[12:35] ---
    Love Live! Superstar!!
[12:38] ---
    I came up with a practice regimen
    and some choreography.
[12:41] ---
    Check it out later.
[12:42] ---
    Thanks.
[12:43] ---
    Good luck with your dancing.
[12:46] ---
    That's amazing that you were
    picked to represent our school!
[12:49] ---
    I'm sorry our schedules overlapped.
[12:52] ---
    Leave the rest to me!
[12:55] ---
    I'll show them how dancing
    in show business is really done!
[13:02] ---
    We don't need to learn the giant isopod dance.
[13:04] ---
    Don't call me a giant isopod!
[13:07] ---
    What's with those clothes?
[13:08] ---
    Because I live in show business,
    my vacation clothes must be appropriate!
[13:13] ---
    We're not going on vacation.
[13:15] ---
    Vaca!
[13:17] ---
    Hey, it's about time.
[13:19] ---
    Okay, Keke-chan and
    Sumire-chan, gather round!
[13:23] ---
    Okay.
[13:25] ---
    What?
[13:26] ---
    --Yes!
    --Yes!
[13:28] ---
    Yes!
[13:39] ---
    You sure do fall over a lot.
[13:42] ---
    Shut up.
[13:45] ---
    Here's some water.
[13:47] ---
    Thank you.
[13:48] ---
    It's actually not shaking that badly.
[13:50] ---
    I'm so nervous thinking about
    seeing them again.
[13:54] ---
    I couldn't sleep at all yesterday.
[13:56] ---
    But now, I'm okay! And we can
    practice on this boat!
[14:03] ---
    Why is the floor shaking... If it didn't
    shake I would be... I would be...
[14:11] ---
    She fell asleep.
[14:13] ---
    She's such a pain.
[14:35] ---
    What are you doing?
[14:38] ---
    Oh, yoga! Wait, or is it a ballet pose?
[14:42] ---
    Did you awaken to some powers?
[14:43] ---
    Don't talk to me.
[14:46] ---
    I can't... think of any lyrics.
[14:51] ---
    They usually come to me when I do this.
[14:54] ---
    Really?
[14:55] ---
    The song and choreography
    are already done,
[14:57] ---
    so I thought I'd write about
    you two and Chi-chan, but...
[15:01] ---
    Hurry up. We have to
    memorize them, you know?
[15:05] ---
    Yeah... Where's Keke-chan?
[15:07] ---
    She's out like a light. I'm sure
    she'll be fine when she wakes up.
[15:14] ---
    It's hard to believe
    that island is part of Tokyo.
[15:20] ---
    And there are people there
    working hard to be school idols.
[15:25] ---
    School idols really are amazing.
[15:30] ---
    Welcome to our island!
[15:36] ---
    Thank you!
[15:37] ---
    Sunny Passion is actually
    welcoming us... I'm so happy.
[15:44] ---
    This isn't much, but...
[15:46] ---
    Pa!
[15:47] ---
    Oh, you didn't have to.
[15:49] ---
    I guess you do actually
    think things through sometimes.
[15:53] ---
    Now that you're here,
    we want you to relax and have fun.
[15:58] ---
    That's our wish!
[16:01] ---
    And so...
[16:03] ---
    Y-Yes?
[16:06] ---
    Yay!
[16:07] ---
    Let's have a blast today!
[16:10] ---
    Hiyah!
[16:13] ---
    Pa!
[16:15] ---
    This feels great!
[16:17] ---
    A-Are we doing this?
[16:21] ---
    Hey, you go first.
[16:24] ---
    Why me?!
[16:26] ---
    Aw. I guess I'll go over there, too.
[16:31] ---
    Who's the center?
[16:33] ---
    I guess I am?
[16:35] ---
    Then show us how it's done!
[16:37] ---
    But... I can't deal with heights!
[16:41] ---
    Oh, you'll be fine. Now go!
[16:43] ---
    Save me!
[16:45] ---
    Kanon!
[16:51] ---
    I'm not sure if that was
    diving or just falling.
[16:55] ---
    It's delicious. It tastes like mango.
[16:57] ---
    No, it's pineapple.
[16:59] ---
    No, it's banana.
[17:03] ---
    That's passion fruit ice cream.
    It's a specialty here.
[17:06] ---
    What?! You even have your own ice cream?
[17:10] ---
    Of course not.
[17:14] ---
    The wind feels so nice!
[17:16] ---
    Yes.
[17:20] ---
    Galaxy!
[17:21] ---
    That's what you get for
    wearing such a big hat.
[17:26] ---
    Sumire-chan!
[17:27] ---
    Galaxy!
[17:32] ---
    Wow... it's so pretty.
[17:36] ---
    I can't believe there are so many stars.
[17:38] ---
    This island is great
    for observing the stars.
[17:42] ---
    The sky is sparkling.
[17:46] ---
    You're already tired? You're such a child.
[17:49] ---
    Shut up.
[17:51] ---
    Starting tomorrow, we're going to be
    practicing until the concert.
[17:54] ---
    So you should get some sleep.
[17:56] ---
    Right.
[17:58] ---
    I wish Chi-chan could've seen this.
[18:08] ---
    Sorry that there are only two beds.
[18:10] ---
    To make up for it, lodging is free.
[18:13] ---
    But...
[18:14] ---
    Don't worry about it.
[18:16] ---
    Just make sure you put on
    the best performance ever.
[18:20] ---
    We'll do our best!
[18:21] ---
    Even if it costs us our lives.
[18:23] ---
    Stop putting our lives on the line!
[18:26] ---
    I get this one all to myself!
[18:28] ---
    Hey, no fair! I can't sleep unless
    there's a wall on my left side.
[18:33] ---
    That's your problem.
[18:35] ---
    Rock-paper-scissors.
[18:36] ---
    No. I'm going to lose.
[18:38] ---
    "Fortunes"
[18:39] ---
    So let's draw lots.
[18:40] ---
    Do you think I'd actually
    fall for your schemes?
[18:43] ---
    They aren't schemes!
[18:44] ---
    Then how are we going to decide?
[18:46] ---
    Fine. How about thumb wrestling?
[18:50] ---
    Heh.
[18:51] ---
    Now you've done it.
[18:53] ---
    What?
[18:54] ---
    I happen to be a master thumb wrestler
    thanks to the skills my mother taught me.
[18:59] ---
    Oh, please. You're all talk.
[19:02] ---
    Let's find out if I'm all talk or not.
[19:08] ---
    Here we go. Ready...
[19:12] ---
    Eek!
[19:13] ---
    1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10! Galaxy!
[19:16] ---
    No fair! No fair!
[19:17] ---
    You fool. This is the world
    of show business!
[19:21] ---
    You let your guard down, you lose.
[19:23] ---
    Let's go to sleep already.
[19:25] ---
    Wait, you get your own?
[19:27] ---
    "Fortunes"
[19:30] ---
    Wall... Wall...
[19:34] ---
    W-Wall...
[19:41] ---
    Kanon?
[20:02] ---
    What are you doing?
[20:04] ---
    Oh, I know! You're either stretching
    or becoming one with the Earth...
[20:10] ---
    Don't talk to me.
[20:15] ---
    I still can't think of any...
[20:17] ---
    What?
[20:19] ---
    Keke-chan... What exactly is Chi-chan?
[20:24] ---
    Um...
[20:25] ---
    I don't know what to write.
[20:27] ---
    It's not like she's in our group
    and she's not our coach.
[20:36] ---
    Kanon.
[20:39] ---
    Maybe we should invite Chisato-san
    to be a school idol again.
[20:44] ---
    Keke-chan...
[20:45] ---
    If Chisato-san was in our group,
    I think we can become even better.
[20:53] ---
    Yeah... I want us to
    get better for your sake, too.
[20:59] ---
    So I was also hoping
    Chi-chan would join us.
[21:04] ---
    Then why don't we?
[21:06] ---
    Chi-chan told me when
    we were really young...
[21:13] ---
    I'm going to do something you can't do.
[21:17] ---
    Something like your singing!
    Something I can love and obsess over!
[21:24] ---
    I'm going to do my best!
[21:28] ---
    And then she started dance.
[21:31] ---
    I see...
[21:34] ---
    It's because Chi-chan was by my side
[21:38] ---
    that I was able to keep singing
    and not give up.
[21:42] ---
    I want to put those feelings
    into this song...
[21:59] ---
    Okay.
[22:10] ---
    "School Wit"
    "Dear Yuigaoka Girls' High School"
[22:15] ---
    The future is calling to us
[22:18] ---
    Like the wind
[22:21] ---
    No one knows what the future holds for us
[22:29] ---
    Even then, we want to move forward
[22:32] ---
    Because we don't want to have any regrets
[22:35] ---
    You can't hold down our hearts
[22:39] ---
    Let's all be free
[22:43] ---
    We're not going to give up!
[22:47] ---
    Because we decided that
[22:50] ---
    We'll cry, laugh, and do our best
[22:53] ---
    We all want to surpass our limits
[22:58] ---
    It's important to believe
[23:02] ---
    And once we told ourselves that
[23:05] ---
    Let's try to go even further
[23:12] ---
    We may be small, but we have big dreams
[23:20] ---
    We won't give in, now, let's fly together
[23:27] ---
    Let's fly the best we can,
    now, let's fly together

[00:06] ---
    Hey, this is our spot.
[00:09] ---
    You're not allowed to use it.
[00:11] ---
    I'm sorry. I didn't know...
[00:13] ---
    You live around here, don't you?
    Why don't you know?
[00:16] ---
    This is the first time
    I came to this park, so...
[00:19] ---
    Huh... Well, whatever.
[00:22] ---
    These things you brought with you.
[00:25] ---
    We'll take them as payment
    for you barging in here.
[00:27] ---
    You can't have them!
[00:28] ---
    No!
[00:29] ---
    You got in our way!
[00:31] ---
    Yeah!
[00:32] ---
    Hey, she started crying.
[00:35] ---
    I'm not crying!
[00:36] ---
    Hey!
[00:41] ---
    Kanon-chan!
[00:44] ---
    Don't be mean to Chi-chan!
[00:46] ---
    Who the heck are you?
[00:47] ---
    Just give that back to Chi-chan!
    It's important to her!
[00:53] ---
    I didn't want it anyway!
[00:58] ---
    There.
[00:58] ---
    Thanks... But they might
    try to get back at you.
[01:02] ---
    It's okay. I'll protect you, Chi-chan.
    Call me if you ever need me.
[01:08] ---
    Kanon-chan...
[01:11] ---
    That was the moment I realized...
    This isn't how I wanted things to be.
[01:17] ---
    I wanted to help Kanon-chan someday.
[01:22] ---
    No matter what.
[01:26] ---
    Okay!
[01:28] ---
    You can't stop real dreams
[01:33] ---
    Our hearts are about to start running
[01:56] ---
    Before we knew it,
    we found something that we loved
[02:00] ---
    Let these feelings reach you
[02:04] ---
    We've made up our minds, we're serious!
[02:06] ---
    I wonder what we can do
[02:09] ---
    The sky's so bright
[02:11] ---
    Let's look up at it
    and sing our hearts out
[02:17] ---
    Doesn't having something you want to do
[02:21] ---
    Make every day fun?
[02:23] ---
    Do you feel that way, too?
[02:28] ---
    Ah, we've been waiting for this moment
[02:31] ---
    This encounter is where we start
[02:34] ---
    Our dreams are drawn together,
    and it all begins
[02:39] ---
    We realized our true desires and now,
    we can't be stopped
[02:45] ---
    Our hearts are about to start running
[02:50] ---
    As fast as they can run
[02:59] ---
    That tickles... Jeez.
[03:02] ---
    Ow, ow! What the heck?
[03:05] ---
    Morning.
[03:07] ---
    You two sure are close.
[03:09] ---
    Huh? N-No, we're not!
[03:11] ---
    Get ready, and we're going to
    meet outside in 15 minutes.
[03:15] ---
    Good morning!
[03:16] ---
    You're awake?
[03:18] ---
    We're gonna start training
    for our concert starting today!
[03:22] ---
    And here's your regimen for today.
[03:27] ---
    No way...
[03:28] ---
    Jogging 10 kilometers?
[03:29] ---
    That's no problem
    as long as we're with them!
[03:32] ---
    Says the one who has zero energy.
[03:36] ---
    I'll catch up.
[03:39] ---
    It takes me 30 minutes to do my hair.
[03:42] ---
    You can do that later.
[03:44] ---
    Silly. Appearances are important,
    even if we're just training.
[03:48] ---
    That's what it takes
    to survive in show business.
[03:52] ---
    Anyway, they thought up
    this regimen for us.
[03:55] ---
    You are absolutely not allowed to skip it.
[03:57] ---
    I'm not going to skip it!
[03:58] ---
    With all of this training,
    we'll get even more energy and stamina...
[04:03] ---
    ...than before...
[04:06] ---
    Are you okay?
[04:08] ---
    I swear, we just keep trying to
    nurse you back to health.
[04:11] ---
    Sorry about this.
[04:13] ---
    Maybe she doesn't have all of her energy
    back from all the fun we had yesterday.
[04:17] ---
    She had zero energy to begin with,
    so this was expected.
[04:21] ---
    What do you want to do?
    Head back to your lodgings?
[04:24] ---
    No, that'll make Keke-chan sad.
[04:33] ---
    That was amazing!
[04:35] ---
    And she's back.
[04:37] ---
    Thank goodness.
[04:39] ---
    We're looking forward to
    your performance, too.
[04:43] ---
    All right, let's go look at the stage.
[04:47] ---
    It's fantastic.
[04:48] ---
    Everyone at school is helping to build it.
[04:51] ---
    Everyone at school?
[04:52] ---
    It should look even more
    beautiful by the concert.
[04:56] ---
    There are only so many
    people on the island,
[05:00] ---
    so everyone at school decided to
[05:03] ---
    liven up the island along with us.
[05:07] ---
    For the island...
[05:09] ---
    You feel this mysterious power
[05:10] ---
    when you know you're doing
    something for someone else.
[05:13] ---
    Everything becomes fun,
    even if it's difficult.
[05:20] ---
    What?
[05:21] ---
    Oh, nothing. We need to do our best, too.
[05:27] ---
    You were swaying again.
[05:29] ---
    Right.
[05:29] ---
    Let's take a 10-minute break.
    We'll pick back up where we left off.
[05:34] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[05:44] ---
    Arashi-san.
[05:45] ---
    Are you practicing?
[05:46] ---
    Yeah... the contest is coming up.
[05:50] ---
    I see.
[05:53] ---
    So you're not with Shibuya-san
    and her friends?
[05:56] ---
    Yeah.
[05:57] ---
    Kanon-chan and the others have an event
    coming up, so they aren't here right now.
[06:02] ---
    Are you okay with that?
[06:04] ---
    It sounded like you were rather involved
    with the school idols activities.
[06:09] ---
    So you're worried about us?
[06:11] ---
    Not exactly...
[06:13] ---
    Don't worry. We didn't
    get in a fight or anything.
[06:21] ---
    Withdr--
[06:24] ---
    Did you see that?
[06:25] ---
    N-No... See what?
[06:30] ---
    Nothing.
[06:37] ---
    I messed up.
[06:39] ---
    What are you doing?
[06:41] ---
    Wow... What's this black stuff?
[06:44] ---
    I decided to make them dinner tonight
    since they've been so welcoming to us!
[06:49] ---
    Shanghai xiaolongbao, hong shao rou,
[06:52] ---
    and Shanghai-style crab...
[06:54] ---
    And you somehow ended up with this...
[06:56] ---
    I messed up the cooking times...
[07:00] ---
    Oh, fine.
[07:04] ---
    What? You can cook?
[07:07] ---
    If it's something simple, sure.
[07:14] ---
    I somehow feel very frustrated.
[07:20] ---
    What are you doing?
[07:24] ---
    Did I scare you?
[07:25] ---
    Sorry I didn't notice you.
    I've been writing lyrics.
[07:29] ---
    Huh... So you do the writing, huh?
[07:31] ---
    I sometimes write with Keke-chan,
    but this time, it's just me.
[07:38] ---
    I got some inspiration
    from what you said earlier.
[07:41] ---
    Earlier? Did I say anything
    that inspiring?
[07:45] ---
    You said you felt this power
    when you worked hard for the island.
[07:48] ---
    Ah...
[07:51] ---
    I was just imagining
[07:53] ---
    how we would feel
    if we were in that situation.
[07:59] ---
    You're not doing this for your school?
[08:03] ---
    No. There are even people at our school
    who oppose our activities.
[08:09] ---
    They say they'd support us
    if we weren't school idols, but...
[08:15] ---
    Well, it's not like you can't
    continue being school idols
[08:18] ---
    just because you're not doing it
    for something specific.
[08:22] ---
    There are plenty of people who do it
    just because they love to sing.
[08:25] ---
    Yes. That's how we see it right now.
    I think it's the same way for Chi-chan.
[08:30] ---
    Oh, the dancer girl.
[08:32] ---
    Yes! She has a contest coming up.
[08:35] ---
    She wants to be successful in dance,
    so she's working really hard!
[08:39] ---
    So that's why she's not here.
[08:41] ---
    Chi-chan's loved to dance
    ever since she was little
[08:44] ---
    and has been practicing ever since.
[08:47] ---
    Is it just because she loves to do it?
[08:50] ---
    I don't know all the details,
[08:52] ---
    but I'm not sure if that's enough of
    a reason to do separate things.
[09:06] ---
    It's so good! You two made
    all of this by yourselves?
[09:09] ---
    Wow.
[09:11] ---
    But I think it tastes even better
[09:13] ---
    because all of the ingredients
    from this island are amazing.
[09:15] ---
    Right?
[09:16] ---
    Huh? I, uh...
[09:18] ---
    These dishes are a specialty
    from Keke's homeland, right?
[09:25] ---
    But I didn't make them...
[09:26] ---
    Whatever, just go along
    with what I'm saying.
[09:29] ---
    You need to always be
    smiling and confident
[09:30] ---
    if you want to last in show business.
[09:34] ---
    This is just lying!
[09:35] ---
    It's true that we were both
    standing in the kitchen!
[09:37] ---
    You still piss me off.
[09:39] ---
    What the heck? I cooked all this
    in your place for you.
[09:42] ---
    --No one asked you to!
    --They're so close.
[09:45] ---
    I'm so sorry.
[09:46] ---
    Let's hurry up and eat.
    It's a full moon tonight.
[09:53] ---
    The moon is so big.
[09:55] ---
    It's beautiful.
[09:57] ---
    I should send a picture to Chi-chan.
[10:04] ---
    What is it?
[10:05] ---
    No, it's nothing.
[10:16] ---
    Hello? Did you read them?
[10:19] ---
    Yeah. I think they're great.
    It sounds like something you'd write.
[10:23] ---
    I just felt like.... I want to
    help so many people.
[10:28] ---
    I want to sing for everyone... So, yeah.
[10:31] ---
    --Yeah.
    --Oh,
[10:32] ---
    sorry I kept talking about me.
    Did you just finish practice?
[10:35] ---
    Yeah, I'm heading home.
[10:37] ---
    Your contest is coming up soon, right?
[10:40] ---
    Yeah...
[10:41] ---
    You'll be fine, Chi-chan.
    Just do what you usually do.
[10:45] ---
    Thanks...
[10:52] ---
    Say--
[10:53] ---
    Oh, sorry. Go ahead.
[10:55] ---
    No, you go first.
[10:57] ---
    No, it's not really that important.
[11:01] ---
    It's just... once the contest is over...
[11:07] ---
    No, never mind. What did you want to say?
[11:10] ---
    Actually, mine's not a big deal, either.
[11:12] ---
    So I can tell you the next time I see you.
[11:16] ---
    Well, do your best. Yes! Yes! Yes!
[11:27] ---
    How'd it go?
[11:30] ---
    Um!
[11:32] ---
    I have a request.
[11:38] ---
    Love Live! Superstar!!
[11:52] ---
    Good morning.
[11:53] ---
    Wow, that's amazing.
[11:55] ---
    I used to also do
    some figure skating, too.
[11:58] ---
    If you can dance that well,
    you can probably do anything.
[12:01] ---
    I can't compare to you,
    though, Arashi-san.
[12:04] ---
    The contest is today, isn't it?
[12:06] ---
    Yeah. It's this afternoon.
[12:09] ---
    I thought I'd check over
    the choreography one last time.
[12:13] ---
    I see... So Shibuya-san
    and the others are...
[12:16] ---
    Yeah... They have their concert.
[12:23] ---
    Is something wrong?
[12:24] ---
    No! Um, please do your best!
[12:34] ---
    Um...
[12:36] ---
    It's nothing.
[12:42] ---
    It's nothing.
[12:46] ---
    Um...
[12:47] ---
    Yes?
[12:49] ---
    I see. So you did see it.
[12:52] ---
    Please believe me when I say
    that it wasn't on purpose!
[12:54] ---
    It was just a coincidence, and...
[12:57] ---
    If I can't win the contest, I decided
    I was going to quit this school.
[13:02] ---
    But...
[13:03] ---
    I figured it's not a bad idea
    to train overseas.
[13:07] ---
    Why?
[13:08] ---
    Because I won't be able
    to help Kanon-chan.
[13:11] ---
    In that case, there's no point
    in me to continue dancing here.
[13:15] ---
    I'm sorry, I don't understand.
[13:19] ---
    When I was little,
    I would get bullied a lot.
[13:36] ---
    What is she doing?
[13:37] ---
    She's by herself?
[13:40] ---
    Doesn't she have any friends?
[13:41] ---
    I hate gloomy kids.
[13:42] ---
    I used to be weak, and I had no energy.
[13:46] ---
    And I was always scared of something.
[14:05] ---
    What's wrong?
[14:08] ---
    Kanon-chan always saved me.
[14:13] ---
    Let's go play over there!
[14:15] ---
    But I...
[14:16] ---
    Come on!
[14:20] ---
    I'll be by your side, okay?
[14:31] ---
    See? Isn't this amazing?
[14:34] ---
    Kanon-chan taught me all sorts of things.
[14:38] ---
    Like the importance of moving forward,
[14:40] ---
    how fun it can be to
    discover something new...
[14:44] ---
    So I wanted to be worthy of
    standing next to Kanon-chan one day.
[14:48] ---
    What does that have to do with dance?
[14:51] ---
    Wait...
[14:53] ---
    Yeah. The reason I started dancing
    is because of Kanon-chan.
[14:58] ---
    If I wanted to help Kanon-chan,
    I couldn't be my old self.
[15:02] ---
    I had to be able to do something
    on my own that Kanon-chan couldn't.
[15:07] ---
    On your own?
[15:08] ---
    Yeah. I need to get good at something
    so I could feel confident in myself.
[15:14] ---
    Until then, I decided not to do
    anything with Kanon-chan.
[15:18] ---
    Is that why you didn't
    become a school idol?
[15:22] ---
    Yeah. It's something I decided for myself.
[15:25] ---
    Until I can prove myself in dance
    and actually help out Kanon-chan...
[15:32] ---
    That's why today's the day.
[15:35] ---
    I'm going to get going.
[15:41] ---
    If you...
[15:44] ---
    If you're able to establish yourself
    in dance, what will you do next?
[15:49] ---
    Isn't it obvious?
[15:52] ---
    It's almost done!
[15:54] ---
    Pa!
[15:55] ---
    This is a first.
[15:56] ---
    I can't believe you
    made all this in one night.
[15:59] ---
    It's going to be even better
    by tomorrow's concert!
[16:02] ---
    Behold!
[16:06] ---
    Now I've paid you back
    for dinner! We're even!
[16:11] ---
    What are you even talking about?
[16:28] ---
    Kanon-chan...
[16:37] ---
    Kanon-chan!
[16:41] ---
    Why...
[16:46] ---
    I came.
[16:48] ---
    Something sounded off
    when we talked on the phone.
[16:53] ---
    I thought that you might
    be really anxious.
[16:57] ---
    I might be wrong, but...
[17:00] ---
    Oh, there's just one thing
    I wanted to tell you.
[17:04] ---
    I've always admired you so much, Chi-chan.
[17:08] ---
    You always work so hard,
    and even if you mess up a little,
[17:10] ---
    you never get depressed
    or let it get to you.
[17:13] ---
    So...
[17:17] ---
    I can't...
[17:20] ---
    I need to do my best on my own...
[17:22] ---
    Until I can be confident on my own,
[17:25] ---
    I wanted to do this by myself
    when you weren't around...
[17:29] ---
    Chi-chan...
[17:31] ---
    But when I saw you, I felt relieved.
[17:37] ---
    It's not your fault, Kanon-chan.
    It's my fault for being weak.
[17:42] ---
    I was trying not to rely on you.
[17:44] ---
    I was going to finally do something
    that you can't do on my own today.
[17:49] ---
    Chi-chan...
[17:51] ---
    Despite how I seem,
    I'm pretty competitive.
[17:55] ---
    Well, I always thought
    you were saving me, too.
[18:01] ---
    When I couldn't sing, when I messed up...
    It was always you who helped me out.
[18:06] ---
    But that was just because you...
[18:09] ---
    Then I guess we're in the same boat!
[18:12] ---
    We both did our best.
    We were always watching each other
[18:16] ---
    and thought the other was important.
[18:19] ---
    I was really moved back then.
    My whole body trembled.
[18:24] ---
    I'm going to do something you can't do.
[18:28] ---
    Something like your singing!
    Something I can love and obsess over!
[18:33] ---
    I'm going to do my best!
[18:38] ---
    You were just so cool.
[18:41] ---
    I told myself that I had to be like you.
[18:45] ---
    That I needed to get so good at singing
    that no one could compare.
[18:52] ---
    Thank you.
[18:53] ---
    It's because of your words
    that I can sing right now.
[19:09] ---
    --Yes!
    --Yes!
[19:10] ---
    Ye--
[19:12] ---
    Chi-chan...
[19:13] ---
    Wait for me.
[19:20] ---
    Good luck out there, Chi-chan!
[19:34] ---
    Thank you!
[19:38] ---
    And now, let's introduce our guests today!
[19:41] ---
    The idols we've got our eyes on...
[19:45] ---
    The Yuigaoka Girls' High School Idols!
[19:49] ---
    Are you okay?
[19:50] ---
    Yeah!
[19:51] ---
    I feel like I've been
    dreaming this whole time.
[19:56] ---
    I've been waiting for this day to come.
[19:59] ---
    Yeah.
[20:03] ---
    Okay, here we go.
[20:05] ---
    Right.
[21:56] ---
    Pa!
[21:57] ---
    So this is how they are as four...
[22:15] ---
    The future is calling to us
[22:18] ---
    Like the wind
[22:21] ---
    No one knows what the future holds for us
[22:29] ---
    Even then, we want to move forward
[22:32] ---
    Because we don't want to have any regrets
[22:35] ---
    You can't hold down our hearts
[22:39] ---
    Let's all be free
[22:43] ---
    We're not going to give up!
[22:46] ---
    Because we decided that
[22:50] ---
    We'll cry, laugh, and do our best
[22:53] ---
    We all want to surpass our limits
[22:57] ---
    It's important to believe
[23:02] ---
    And once we told ourselves that
[23:05] ---
    Let's try to go even further
[23:12] ---
    We may be small, but we have big dreams
[23:20] ---
    We won't give in, now, let's fly together
[23:27] ---
    Let's fly the best we can,
    now, let's fly together
[23:36] ---
    Next time, "Battle! The Student Council
    President Elections."

    Previously on Love Live! Superstar!!
[00:03] ---
    After receiving an
    invitation from Sunny Passion,
[00:06] ---
    we were going to perform at
    a concert with them at Kozushima.
[00:09] ---
    Meanwhile, Chisato-san was going
    to compete in her dance contest.
[00:12] ---
    Okay!
[00:13] ---
    "School Withdrawal Application"
[00:14] ---
    Withdr--
[00:15] ---
    The reason I started dancing
    is because of Kanon-chan.
[00:17] ---
    I was going to finally do something
    that you can't do on my own today.
[00:21] ---
    "Chisato Arashi wins!"
    "Course Transfer Application"
[00:21] ---
    Chisato-san won her dance contest,
    and our concert was a huge success!
[00:22] ---
    "So that I can concentrate on
    being a school idol."
[00:26] ---
    She became a school idol
    with the rest of us!
[01:18] ---
    "Student Council Inauguration"
[01:23] ---
    You can't stop real dreams
[01:29] ---
    Our hearts are about to start running
[01:34] ---
    "Love Live! Superstar!!"
[01:51] ---
    Before we knew it,
    we found something that we loved
[01:55] ---
    Let these feelings reach you
[01:59] ---
    We've made up our minds, we're serious!
[02:02] ---
    I wonder what we can do
[02:04] ---
    The sky's so bright
[02:06] ---
    Let's look up at it
    and sing our hearts out
[02:12] ---
    Doesn't having something you want to do
[02:16] ---
    Make every day fun?
[02:19] ---
    Do you feel that way, too?
[02:24] ---
    Ah, we've been waiting for this moment
[02:26] ---
    This encounter is where we start
[02:29] ---
    Our dreams are drawn together,
    and it all begins
[02:34] ---
    We realized our true desires and now,
    we can't be stopped
[02:40] ---
    Our hearts are about to start running
[02:46] ---
    As fast as they can run
[02:55] ---
    You seem tired.
[02:56] ---
    "Battle! The Student Council
    President Elections"
[02:57] ---
    Starting our new term right after getting
    back from the island is a bit harsh.
[03:01] ---
    Well, you did work super hard
    making our stage and props, too.
[03:05] ---
    Thank you.
[03:06] ---
    Kanon...
[03:08] ---
    Buck up!
[03:11] ---
    Chi-chan?
[03:12] ---
    Something feels off.
[03:15] ---
    We're going to be practicing dance
[03:17] ---
    way more hardcore than before,
[03:20] ---
    so you have no time to be tired!
[03:23] ---
    Heya!
[03:25] ---
    Well? How does my new uniform look?
[03:31] ---
    Huh?
[03:32] ---
    What?!
[03:34] ---
    I was actually thinking about withdrawing,
[03:36] ---
    then reapplying for
    the general curriculum,
[03:39] ---
    but the director allowed me
    just to transfer programs.
[03:42] ---
    But why...
[03:44] ---
    Because I wanted to head towards
    the same goal as you three now.
[03:49] ---
    So that's why...
[03:51] ---
    I'm sorry I kept it a secret.
[03:53] ---
    This is love.
[03:56] ---
    Love! This is truly love!
[03:58] ---
    I'm so moved!
[04:00] ---
    It's not really that big of a deal.
[04:03] ---
    Then we'll have to make sure
    we introduce you
[04:05] ---
    to everyone in our class
    before class starts.
[04:09] ---
    What is it?
[04:10] ---
    Oh, Kanon-chan.
[04:12] ---
    Look at this.
[04:13] ---
    "Student Council Inauguration"
[04:15] ---
    The student council?
[04:17] ---
    The student council at our
    school that had been put on hold
[04:20] ---
    is finally getting started?!
[04:22] ---
    Yeah. If there are a few people who want
    to run for student council president,
[04:26] ---
    they're going to hold an election...
[04:30] ---
    G-Good morning.
[04:33] ---
    Yeah, Chi-chan's going to be joining--
[04:35] ---
    --Kanon! The student council!
    --No way! What happened?
[04:37] ---
    R-Right.
[04:38] ---
    Chisato-chan's in the general
    curriculum now?
[04:40] ---
    Yeah! Um...
[04:41] ---
    The student council elections!
[04:43] ---
    Wait, why though?
[04:44] ---
    --The election!
    --There's so much going on right now!
[04:47] ---
    So Chisato-chan's going
    to be a school idol, too?
[04:50] ---
    Yeah, I figured I'd give it a try.
[04:53] ---
    It's finished!
[04:54] ---
    "Kanon Shibuya"
[04:59] ---
    Why did you write it in hiragana?
[05:00] ---
    When I did my research,
    apparently writing your name in hiragana
[05:03] ---
    is common knowledge in Japanese elections.
[05:06] ---
    Elections?
[05:08] ---
    Kanon, did you already forget?
    We just saw it!
[05:10] ---
    "First Gen. Student Council President"
    "Candidacy Application"
[05:11] ---
    "General Curriculum"
    "Class 1-A"
    "Kanon Shibuya"
[05:13] ---
    No, I remember that.
    But why is my name written there?
[05:18] ---
    Why, because you're
    going to run, of course!
[05:23] ---
    A--
[05:24] ---
    I've created an account for you, too,
[05:26] ---
    so now we just need to make
    a video for your candidacy.
[05:29] ---
    I--
[05:29] ---
    Now, take this sash!
[05:31] ---
    --U-e-o!
    --Kanon!
[05:32] ---
    Kanon! Kanon! Please open the door!
[05:35] ---
    No! I'm never coming out!
[05:37] ---
    Kanon-chan, let's just talk.
    I'm sure we can work all of this out.
[05:39] ---
    "Kanon Shibuya"
[05:42] ---
    You agree to this, too, Chi-chan?
[05:44] ---
    I'm not sure if I agree, but...
[05:47] ---
    This is for the sake of us school idols!
[05:49] ---
    The only other candidate
    right now is that Ren person!
[05:53] ---
    If that person becomes student council
    president, school idols will be in danger!
[05:58] ---
    And there are a lot of people
    who believe that
[06:00] ---
    the student council president should be
    from the general curriculum.
[06:03] ---
    Then one of you could run instead!
[06:07] ---
    Oh, fine. Fine!
[06:13] ---
    "Sumire Heanna"
[06:14] ---
    As someone who has lived
    in the world of show business,
[06:17] ---
    this is truly my time to shine--
[06:19] ---
    Kanon, please!
[06:20] ---
    --Kanon-chan!
    --No way!
[06:22] ---
    Galaxy!
[06:23] ---
    So that we can continue being
    school idols, I, Sumire Heanna...
[06:27] ---
    Kanon!
[06:28] ---
    Look at me!
[06:29] ---
    Who are you?
[06:30] ---
    You know who I am!
[06:32] ---
    Huh? Um, you're...
    Su... Su-something...
[06:38] ---
    Sumire! My name is Sumire!
[06:39] ---
    "Su"
[06:40] ---
    Su-mi-re!
[06:40] ---
    "Mi"
[06:41] ---
    "Re"
[06:41] ---
    "Sumire Heanna"
[06:41] ---
    How can you forget the name
    of your fellow groupmate?!
[06:44] ---
    Sorry, I'm still new.
[06:46] ---
    Well, whatever.
[06:47] ---
    Honestly, I don't really like the idea of
    this student council president election...
[06:52] ---
    Then don't worry about it. We're good.
[06:54] ---
    No one asked you.
    Know your place... and such.
[06:57] ---
    You didn't even hesitate
    to say all those mean things--
[06:59] ---
    Sumire-chan!
[07:01] ---
    Thank you so much!
    You have my utmost support!
[07:06] ---
    What?
[07:07] ---
    Don't "what" me!
[07:09] ---
    Another candidate?
[07:11] ---
    Yes, apparently one
    from the general curriculum.
[07:14] ---
    I see.
[07:15] ---
    We're going to end up having an election.
    Will everything be okay?
[07:18] ---
    There are so many more students
    in the general curriculum.
[07:20] ---
    This is out of our hands.
[07:22] ---
    And there's no guarantee that everyone
[07:24] ---
    from the general curriculum
    will root for their own.
[07:28] ---
    We'll just have to do our best.
[07:30] ---
    You're right.
[07:31] ---
    Yeah, you've got this.
[07:33] ---
    Let me know if I can help in any way.
[07:35] ---
    Thank you very much.
[07:37] ---
    See you later!
[07:44] ---
    "Candidacy Application"
    "Music Program"
    "Class 1-A" "Ren Hazuki"
[07:49] ---
    Are you sure you want to run?
[07:53] ---
    Yes.
[07:55] ---
    Student council president
    candidate Sumire Heanna!
[08:00] ---
    My motto is Yuigaoka...
[08:05] ---
    ...Galaxy!
[08:07] ---
    Hey, wait!
[08:09] ---
    And we're good.
[08:11] ---
    There's no way that was good!
[08:12] ---
    Why are you so unenthusiastic?!
    You need to take this more seriously!
[08:17] ---
    --With my powers as someone who lived
    in the world of show business,
[08:19] ---
    --Yeah, I'd prefer Kanon...
    --With my powers as someone who lived
    in the world of show business,
[08:21] ---
    --Yeah, I'd prefer Kanon...
    --becoming the student council
    president will easy peasy!
[08:22] ---
    Kanon-chan!
[08:24] ---
    Hey, how'd it go?
[08:25] ---
    The deadline for
    candidate applications passed,
[08:27] ---
    so now it's officially going to be
    between Hazuki-san and Sumire-chan.
[08:32] ---
    So if I defeat Ren Hazuki, I'll be able
    to stand at the top of this school.
[08:38] ---
    Yeah, but apparently Hazuki-san
[08:39] ---
    is the daughter of the person
    who established this school...
[08:42] ---
    You don't stand a chance!
[08:44] ---
    Wait, why are you giving up?!
[08:46] ---
    Oh, but apparently,
    Hazuki-san isn't a shoe-in.
[08:50] ---
    She is a natural leader as
    the class rep in the music program
[08:54] ---
    and is pretty popular,
    but there are rumors that
[08:57] ---
    she looks down on
    the general curriculum students.
[09:00] ---
    I see...
[09:01] ---
    That's it!
[09:02] ---
    Our program has three times
    more students than the music program!
[09:05] ---
    We just need to secure those votes!
[09:09] ---
    "Never forget where you came from"
    "Ren Hazuki"
[09:10] ---
    "I, Ren Hazuki, would like to see
    a school where the general curriculum
[09:15] ---
    and the music program
    can work together and I promise
[09:18] ---
    to make the school festival
    in the fall a success."
[09:21] ---
    There are rumors that Hazuki-san
    only cares about the music program...
[09:25] ---
    She does actually
    think a lot about us, too.
[09:28] ---
    Yeah, totally.
[09:29] ---
    Looks like she made the first move.
[09:31] ---
    And it's all over.
    There's no way you can win.
[09:34] ---
    Which means the school idols...
[09:42] ---
    Kuu...
[09:43] ---
    ...kaa.
[09:46] ---
    It's okay. No one followed me.
[09:49] ---
    Okay, then we'll be doing
    a singing lesson today.
[09:53] ---
    I've finally found you, school idols.
[09:58] ---
    According to school regulations
    article 10, paragraph 325,
[10:01] ---
    school idol activities at Yuigaoka
    are absolutely prohibited!
[10:04] ---
    Capture them!
[10:06] ---
    Oh, no!
[10:07] ---
    "Sumire Heanna" "Certain Victory"
[10:09] ---
    I don't think it's going to go that far.
[10:11] ---
    No, I bet she would do it.
[10:13] ---
    You can see her hate
    for school idols in her eyes.
[10:17] ---
    But I wonder why she dislikes
    school idols so much.
[10:21] ---
    You don't know either, Chi-chan?
[10:23] ---
    Nope. No one in the music program's
    really talked about that before.
[10:30] ---
    "Certain Victory"
[10:30] ---
    I'm just going to
    have to win the election!
[10:33] ---
    But how?
[10:34] ---
    Have no fear!
[10:38] ---
    H-Here you go!
[10:40] ---
    We're giving away some free takoyaki
    along with our greeting today.
[10:45] ---
    "If I say I'm going to do it,
    I'm going to do it!"
[10:46] ---
    Wow!
[10:47] ---
    Thanks!
[10:48] ---
    "Sumire Heanna"
[10:49] ---
    See? I told you it'd work.
[10:52] ---
    I'm Sumire Heanna!
[10:54] ---
    Vote for Galaxy!
[10:56] ---
    Is this even okay?
[10:59] ---
    I'm not sure... maybe, just barely?
[11:02] ---
    It is not.
[11:04] ---
    "Voting Results"
    "101 votes"
[11:05] ---
    "-20 votes"
[11:07] ---
    "-20 votes"
    "Ren Hazuki" "Sumire Heanna"
[11:08] ---
    I-I...
[11:10] ---
    I've been crushed! Why, though?! Why?!
[11:14] ---
    It's obvious.
[11:15] ---
    Shut your mouth!
[11:17] ---
    Or wait, how do you have negative votes?
[11:19] ---
    Well, that includes the punishment
    for using takoyaki, so...
[11:22] ---
    Well, the results wouldn't have been
    any different even without that.
[11:26] ---
    This is why I said it should've
    been Kanon to begin with.
[11:30] ---
    Actually, I think it's for the best
[11:31] ---
    that Hazuki-san became
    the student council president.
[11:34] ---
    --Me, too...
    --You traitors.
[11:37] ---
    Well, it's not that you did
    anything wrong, Sumire-chan.
[11:40] ---
    It's just, when you think
    about how this person has to
[11:43] ---
    think about the whole school
    and make a bunch of decisions...
[11:47] ---
    But school idols...
[11:50] ---
    Yeah...
[11:52] ---
    I'll talk to her.
[11:54] ---
    Do you think she'd listen?
[11:56] ---
    I don't know, but I'm sure
    she has her reasons.
[12:03] ---
    What do you plan on doing?
[12:05] ---
    Before that, please tell me how many
    applicants we have for next year.
[12:10] ---
    As the student council president-- No...
[12:14] ---
    As the daughter of
    the founder of this school,
[12:16] ---
    I have a right to know.
[12:23] ---
    Thank you for your time.
[12:31] ---
    You're...
[12:33] ---
    Do you have a minute?
[12:34] ---
    "Apple Tea" "Strawberry Milk"
[12:38] ---
    Love Live! Superstar!!
[12:45] ---
    You told us before that you'd support us
    if we weren't school idols, right?
[12:52] ---
    It's not like you don't like us
    or you were trying to be mean, right?
[12:57] ---
    We want to know why.
    If you could tell us that,
[13:00] ---
    I'm sure we can all help you
    figure something out.
[13:05] ---
    I don't know if you'd
    ever be able to accept us,
[13:08] ---
    but we really don't think
    school idols are bad.
[13:12] ---
    There really isn't a reason.
[13:18] ---
    It's just this school is better off
    without school idols.
[13:23] ---
    That is how I feel.
[13:30] ---
    What do you mean it'd be better off?
[13:36] ---
    And now, our first student
    council president,
[13:39] ---
    Ren Hazuki-san, will say a few words.
[13:43] ---
    Hello, I am Ren Hazuki,
[13:45] ---
    and I have been chosen to be this school's
    first student council president.
[13:49] ---
    I am truly honored to be chosen
    for such a prestigious position
[13:53] ---
    and very humbled.
[13:58] ---
    I will do everything in my power
    so that Yuigaoka Girls' High
[14:03] ---
    can become an established school
    in this area for a very long time.
[14:09] ---
    To make that happen...
[14:15] ---
    I wonder what's wrong.
[14:20] ---
    To make that happen,
    our first school festival
[14:25] ---
    will have the music program
    as the main act.
[14:34] ---
    Hazuki-san...
[14:38] ---
    She totally broke her campaign promise.
[14:40] ---
    Yeah. All of us have been
    looking forward to the school festival
[14:43] ---
    and have been planning
    what to do with our classes.
[14:46] ---
    Apparently, the class next door
    is collecting signatures to fight this.
[14:48] ---
    Oh, I'm definitely going
    to help out with that.
[14:53] ---
    There's a quicker solution than that.
[14:57] ---
    A recall!
[14:58] ---
    Recall?
[14:59] ---
    Yes. If that goes through,
[15:01] ---
    the current president
    will have to step down for lying.
[15:04] ---
    And then, after another election, I'll--
[15:08] ---
    "Kanon Shibuya"
[15:08] ---
    Kanon should be
    the student council president!
[15:10] ---
    --Gala?
    --What?
    --Me?
[15:11] ---
    Kanon-chan's going to run?
[15:12] ---
    --What?!
    --You have my support!
[15:14] ---
    We were actually talking about
    how you'd be a great candidate!
[15:17] ---
    --Yeah!
    --Nope. No way.
[15:19] ---
    That's not happening.
    I mean, I don't stand out at all.
[15:24] ---
    You're just asking to be hated on.
[15:26] ---
    Huh? No, no, no. That's not what I meant!
[15:32] ---
    But you might just have to do that.
[15:35] ---
    Yes. She's already broken her promise,
[15:38] ---
    so if we leave her alone, she's definitely
    going to prohibit school idols.
[15:42] ---
    Hm... I guess I could see that.
[15:46] ---
    But there has to be some kind of a reason.
[15:50] ---
    But she wouldn't
    tell you yesterday, right?
[15:54] ---
    Well...
[15:56] ---
    "Yuigaoka Girls' Private High School"
[16:01] ---
    Now we're tailing her?
[16:02] ---
    What else can we do? Apparently,
    most of the kids in the music program
[16:06] ---
    don't know much about Hazuki-san either.
[16:08] ---
    If we're doing this, we're going all in.
[16:21] ---
    That was close!
[16:22] ---
    That's Hazuki-san for you.
[16:24] ---
    She's always so proper
    even out of the music program
[16:26] ---
    and is always paying attention
    to those around her.
[16:29] ---
    So she has the ability
    to sense someone's presence.
[16:32] ---
    In that case, Sumire-chan.
[16:37] ---
    Gala?
[16:39] ---
    I definitely don't like this...
[16:41] ---
    It's poop!
[16:42] ---
    --Poop!
    --Shut up!
[17:00] ---
    Way to go, Sumire-chan!
[17:01] ---
    You didn't get noticed at all!
[17:03] ---
    Please spare the compliments. They hurt.
[17:05] ---
    Kanon!
[17:08] ---
    Let's go!
[17:21] ---
    She went in here.
[17:25] ---
    So this is...
[17:26] ---
    Hazuki-san's house.
[17:28] ---
    I figured she was rich,
    but this is out of this universe.
[17:33] ---
    Well, let's call her out here.
[17:35] ---
    Wait!
[17:36] ---
    We should investigate
    a little more first...
[17:38] ---
    Didn't we follow her
    all the way here because
[17:41] ---
    we wanted to find out more about her?
[17:45] ---
    Who is it?
[17:47] ---
    Oh, um, I--
[17:50] ---
    We're students from Yuigaoka Girls' High.
[17:53] ---
    We wanted to talk to Ren-san.
[18:00] ---
    Here you are.
[18:03] ---
    Thank you very much.
[18:04] ---
    I will go fetch Miss Ren.
    Please make yourselves at home.
[18:09] ---
    Okay.
[18:12] ---
    What are we going to do?
    We just showed up unannounced.
[18:15] ---
    Well, we did follow her...
[18:18] ---
    I wonder what we could
    even say to Hazuki-san!
[18:21] ---
    --This is good.
    --She's probably just going to get mad.
[18:24] ---
    Like, "I have nothing to say to you.
    Go home. Begone."
[18:29] ---
    Yeah...
[18:33] ---
    This really is a lovely house, though.
[18:37] ---
    Look, there's a giant plushie.
[18:40] ---
    Plushie? It's not taxidermied?
[18:42] ---
    A dog this big could never
    exist in real life.
[18:46] ---
    Oh, it's so warm...
[18:47] ---
    It's warm?
[18:50] ---
    You're right. And you can hear
    something thumping...
[18:54] ---
    What are you talking about?
    There you go, making stuff up again.
[19:02] ---
    It's...
[19:03] ---
    It's...
[19:04] ---
    It's real!
[19:07] ---
    What the heck is that ridiculous dog?!
[19:09] ---
    I don't know!
[19:11] ---
    Has it been genetically modified?!
    Maybe it's been modified to be a giant!
[19:14] ---
    Found it!
[19:16] ---
    It really is an actual dog.
[19:17] ---
    It's supposed to be that big?
[19:19] ---
    Anyway, we just need to ask for help!
[19:22] ---
    Someone!
[19:23] ---
    Someone!
[19:24] ---
    Someone!
[19:26] ---
    Someone!
[19:28] ---
    There's no one here!
[19:29] ---
    What's going on?
[19:31] ---
    I can't!
[19:33] ---
    Keke-chan!
[19:36] ---
    Kanon-chan?!
[19:37] ---
    Hiyah!
[19:40] ---
    --Hurry, get inside!
    --Thanks!
[19:41] ---
    Yes!
[19:44] ---
    What's with this place?
[19:46] ---
    I can't believe there's, like,
    no one inside this giant house.
[19:49] ---
    It is strange.
[20:15] ---
    This is...
[20:17] ---
    Kanon-chan.
[20:18] ---
    Is it a graduation photo?
[20:20] ---
    It looks like Yuigaoka.
[20:22] ---
    But this photo's pretty old.
[20:26] ---
    No!
[20:29] ---
    Thank you for everything you've done.
    I'll never forget you.
[20:34] ---
    No, I cannot accept this.
[20:36] ---
    Please. We really don't have the money
    to keep you working here next month.
[20:41] ---
    This is not necessary.
    I just want to serve the Hazuki Family...
[20:46] ---
    But that's not right. If I were
    to have someone like you work for free,
[20:51] ---
    then my late mother
    would never forgive me.
[20:54] ---
    But... Then you truly
    will be all alone, Miss Ren.
[20:59] ---
    I'll be all right.
    I have Chibi, after all.
[21:02] ---
    Chibi? Really?
[21:04] ---
    Shh!
[21:05] ---
    I believe you first came here
    around the time Chibi was just born.
[21:10] ---
    Back then, Father was still around
    and my mother was healthy.
[21:14] ---
    We all got along and it was so lively...
[21:18] ---
    Miss Ren...
[21:20] ---
    It's not that I'm losing hope.
[21:23] ---
    I still have Yuigaoka
    that Mother left me, after all.
[21:28] ---
    Chibi?
[21:31] ---
    Who-- Huh?
[21:33] ---
    --Ow...
    --Hey, don't lick me there!
[21:36] ---
    You...
[21:38] ---
    Hey! That tickles!
[21:41] ---
    Chibi, come.
[21:44] ---
    Sit. Stay.
[21:47] ---
    Did you hear everything?
[21:48] ---
    What do you mean you're by yourself?
    That you don't have any money...
[21:52] ---
    It's exactly how it sounds. I am the
    only one left here, and I have no money.
[21:59] ---
    At this rate, the school can't keep going.
[22:02] ---
    I have to do whatever I can in order to
    keep the school my mother left me going.
[22:09] ---
    Hazuki-san...
[22:15] ---
    The future is calling to us
[22:18] ---
    Like the wind
[22:21] ---
    No one knows what the future holds for us
[22:29] ---
    Even then, we want to move forward
[22:32] ---
    Because we don't want to have any regrets
[22:35] ---
    You can't hold down our hearts
[22:39] ---
    Let's all be free
[22:43] ---
    We're not going to give up!
[22:47] ---
    Because we decided that
[22:50] ---
    We'll cry, laugh, and do our best
[22:53] ---
    We all want to surpass our limits
[22:58] ---
    It's important to believe
[23:02] ---
    And once we told ourselves that
[23:05] ---
    Let's try to go even further
[23:12] ---
    We may be small, but we have big dreams
[23:20] ---
    We won't give in, now, let's fly together
[23:27] ---
    Let's fly the best we can,
    now, let's fly together
[23:36] ---
    Next time, "Connecting Feelings."

[00:02] ---
    My mother went to Jingu Music School
[00:05] ---
    and her lifelong dream was to create
    another school in that same location.
[00:09] ---
    So that's why she established Yuigaoka...
[00:11] ---
    But my father was assigned to work
    overseas and was against this idea
[00:15] ---
    and left us.
[00:18] ---
    Even then, my mother worked hard
    until the school was finished...
[00:22] ---
    Part of the reason was overwork,
    but she passed away two years ago.
[00:26] ---
    So when you said you're alone...
[00:29] ---
    Yes.
[00:30] ---
    And that you didn't have any money?
[00:32] ---
    It's embarrassing to admit, but yes.
[00:34] ---
    My father offered to let me live with him
    overseas, but I turned him down.
[00:39] ---
    I want to make the school that my mother
    left me the best in this whole city.
[00:43] ---
    If I don't gather even more students,
    I cannot accomplish this goal.
[00:52] ---
    Sorry for barging in on you.
[00:54] ---
    It's all right.
[00:55] ---
    Looking back at how I'd
    been acting... I can't blame you.
[01:00] ---
    Hazuki-san...
[01:01] ---
    Um...
[01:03] ---
    Regarding everything
    I've told you today...
[01:05] ---
    Could you please keep it between us?
[01:07] ---
    But...
[01:09] ---
    I don't want to make the students anxious
[01:11] ---
    or feel like they regret
    coming to Yuigaoka.
[01:15] ---
    Please.
[01:20] ---
    Mother.
[01:23] ---
    What were you trying to tell me back then?
[01:28] ---
    You can't stop real dreams
[01:34] ---
    Our hearts are about to start running
[01:39] ---
    "Love Live! Superstar!!"
[01:56] ---
    Before we knew it,
    we found something that we loved
[02:01] ---
    Let these feelings reach you
[02:04] ---
    We've made up our minds, we're serious!
[02:07] ---
    I wonder what we can do
[02:09] ---
    The sky's so bright
[02:11] ---
    Let's look up at it
    and sing our hearts out
[02:17] ---
    Doesn't having something you want to do
[02:21] ---
    Make every day fun?
[02:24] ---
    Do you feel that way, too?
[02:29] ---
    Ah, we've been waiting for this moment
[02:31] ---
    This encounter is where we start
[02:34] ---
    Our dreams are drawn together,
    and it all begins
[02:39] ---
    We realized our true desires and now,
    we can't be stopped
[02:45] ---
    Our hearts are about to start running
[02:51] ---
    As fast as they can run
[02:58] ---
    So the reason she wanted to
    conduct the school festival
[03:01] ---
    with just the music program...
[03:02] ---
    Is probably because there weren't
    that many new applicants for the school.
[03:06] ---
    And the efficient music program
    would be able to attract people.
[03:10] ---
    So it's her last resort.
[03:11] ---
    Ow!
[03:12] ---
    This is why people care less
    about the general curriculum!
[03:14] ---
    --Shut up!
    --I can understand where
    she's coming from,
[03:17] ---
    but no one else knows her situation.
[03:20] ---
    Yeah.
[03:21] ---
    But... At this rate, Hazuki-san...
[03:25] ---
    Everyone will continue to have
    the wrong idea about her.
[03:29] ---
    Hazuki-san.
[03:31] ---
    "Signatures opposing the school festival"
[03:32] ---
    Here are signatures we collected
    protesting the school festival.
[03:36] ---
    Just because you're the founder's daughter
[03:37] ---
    doesn't mean the school belongs to you.
[03:39] ---
    Please think about this!
[03:42] ---
    Please take this up with
    the student council.
[03:45] ---
    Now, if you'll excuse me.
[03:46] ---
    What's with that attitude?
[03:48] ---
    She's unbelievable!
[03:52] ---
    I'll try to go talk things out.
[03:56] ---
    This is the only time it'll
    concentrate on the music program!
[03:59] ---
    It's not like we're saying
    that you can't be involved at all!
[04:02] ---
    They're more confrontational
    than I thought they'd be.
[04:04] ---
    Clearly, it's the general curriculum kids
    who are being selfish here!
[04:07] ---
    Don't let them overwhelm you like that!
[04:09] ---
    Well...
[04:11] ---
    We don't want to participate.
[04:14] ---
    Participating is like the music program
    saying, "Oh, we'll let you help out."
[04:19] ---
    I wouldn't go that far...
[04:21] ---
    I think it's a good idea
    to have the festival
[04:24] ---
    showcase music since
    it represents our school...
[04:28] ---
    Then why didn't they ask us
    to participate to begin with?
[04:31] ---
    Like she said in her campaign promise!
[04:33] ---
    Why are you taking the student council
    president's side anyway?
[04:36] ---
    Yeah! She's going to say no if you say
    you want to perform at the festival!
[04:41] ---
    You dummy. Quit repeating the same things.
[04:44] ---
    Okay, then you say something, Sumire-chan!
[04:47] ---
    Don't you want to continue being
    a school idol, Shibuya-san?
[04:50] ---
    We've been rooting for you!
[04:53] ---
    Actually, they're right.
[04:55] ---
    Hazuki-san is against school idols.
[05:00] ---
    I'm going to take the side
    of the general curriculum!
[05:03] ---
    Let us fight together!
[05:05] ---
    Yeah!
[05:06] ---
    Stop making things more complicated!
[05:08] ---
    Someday, I can fly
[05:12] ---
    Someday, I can...
[05:16] ---
    They just keep going.
[05:18] ---
    Looks like they don't care
    about the rest of us.
[05:21] ---
    At this rate, Hazuki-san will be...
[05:24] ---
    I hate her.
[05:25] ---
    We go to Yuigaoka, too!
[05:31] ---
    What should we do?
[05:32] ---
    Things are getting even more complicated.
[05:34] ---
    Well, yeah. Everyone's always felt
    this divide between the two programs.
[05:40] ---
    Yes, and it doesn't look like
    either side will back down.
[05:44] ---
    Yeah...
[05:46] ---
    This is all my fault.
[05:48] ---
    Hazuki-san!
[05:49] ---
    One of the music program students told me
    that you went to talk to them.
[05:54] ---
    Yeah. We thought we might be able to help.
[06:00] ---
    Don't worry! We haven't mentioned
    anything about your private life.
[06:04] ---
    I'm truly sorry. My words
    have now troubled everyone.
[06:09] ---
    You mean you regret what you said?
[06:13] ---
    Yes. The director summoned me
    to her office earlier.
[06:17] ---
    You need to clear things up
    tomorrow at the assembly.
[06:21] ---
    If you fail to come to a solution,
[06:22] ---
    this year's school festival
    will be canceled.
[06:26] ---
    But...
[06:27] ---
    The director went to school
    with my mother,
[06:30] ---
    but she seems rather conflicted about me.
[06:33] ---
    We still have some time!
[06:35] ---
    Let's just talk with both programs
    and do something together!
[06:41] ---
    There's something else on your mind?
[06:43] ---
    Yeah. I think we can make this work
    if you talk to everyone at the assembly.
[06:48] ---
    Of course, I would love to do that.
[06:50] ---
    It's just, school idols are...
[06:55] ---
    Just anything other than
    school idols, please!
[07:00] ---
    I'd rather you didn't do
    idol activities at this school.
[07:06] ---
    Will you tell us why?
[07:09] ---
    This school once had students
    who performed as idols
[07:13] ---
    to save it from closing.
[07:17] ---
    One of them was my mother.
[07:20] ---
    So that's why this room had
    the school idol club plate on the door.
[07:24] ---
    This is long before they were
    officially referred to as "school idols."
[07:28] ---
    Their performances
    became rather popular
[07:30] ---
    and they gathered a lot of attention.
[07:32] ---
    But they weren't able to reach their goal
    and the school closed.
[07:36] ---
    That's why I thought
    I would become a school idol
[07:40] ---
    at this school that my mother founded.
[07:44] ---
    I thought I would get attention for
    the school just like my mother did.
[07:48] ---
    But you were so against us doing it!
[07:51] ---
    But...
[07:53] ---
    Then let's do this together!
[07:54] ---
    If we all work together, we--
[07:57] ---
    There's just nothing left!
[08:00] ---
    No matter how hard I looked...
[08:03] ---
    ...I couldn't find any record
    of her school idol activities.
[08:08] ---
    Even though there were records
    of every other school activity...
[08:12] ---
    There is no record of her ever doing
    idol activities at the school.
[08:17] ---
    And that made me wonder...
    Did my mother regret being an idol?
[08:23] ---
    Did she feel like she couldn't
    save the school as a school idol?
[08:27] ---
    But...
[08:29] ---
    But that's not set in stone!
[08:31] ---
    Then why does nothing exist?
[08:33] ---
    She didn't leave a single photo of
    these supposed precious memories.
[08:37] ---
    How is that possible?!
[08:41] ---
    What do you think?
[08:42] ---
    I can understand how she feels,
[08:45] ---
    but I think it's going too far
    to prohibit school idols!
[08:50] ---
    I mean, in the end,
    this doesn't concern us.
[08:55] ---
    What about you, Kanon-chan?
[08:58] ---
    I really can't imagine her mother
    regretting her school idol activities.
[09:03] ---
    I saw a picture of Hazuki-san's mom
    smiling at their house
[09:07] ---
    and it was dazzling.
[09:10] ---
    I want to find out for sure.
[09:15] ---
    Records from the Jingu Music School?
[09:18] ---
    Yes. I'd like to see anything
    you might have on file.
[09:21] ---
    Please.
[09:23] ---
    The school assembly will be starting soon.
[09:26] ---
    I promise we'll return them by then.
[09:30] ---
    Make sure you don't make a mess.
[09:32] ---
    This isn't it.
[09:33] ---
    This isn't either.
[09:35] ---
    There are records of
    all the other club activities
[09:37] ---
    except for any school idol activities.
[09:40] ---
    There's nothing over here, either.
[09:41] ---
    I've looked through everything many times.
[09:44] ---
    Hazuki-san.
[09:45] ---
    That's the only thing missing.
[09:47] ---
    I can only imagine that
    she willingly got rid of them.
[09:49] ---
    She never said anything?
[09:52] ---
    No... She may have mentioned
    something when I was little...
[09:57] ---
    Though she would always say,
[09:59] ---
    "I hope our feelings connect
    in the same place."
[10:04] ---
    The same place?
[10:05] ---
    That's why she made
    the school here, right?
[10:11] ---
    The school assembly is
    about to start. I must go.
[10:14] ---
    What are you going to do?
[10:16] ---
    I'll probably have to
    talk to everyone honestly
[10:19] ---
    about the current state of this school.
[10:21] ---
    Though I'm uncertain
    how that will turn out.
[10:25] ---
    Feelings connecting in the same place...
[10:30] ---
    Wait!
[10:31] ---
    Hazuki-san. You gave us the key
    to this room, right?
[10:36] ---
    Oh. The director said
    she couldn't find them,
[10:39] ---
    so when I looked around my house,
    I found them in my desk...
[10:43] ---
    Shibuya-san! No running in the hallway!
[10:46] ---
    "School Idol Club"
[10:47] ---
    Kanon-chan!
[10:50] ---
    What did we see when
    we first came to this room?
[10:52] ---
    I can't really remember.
[10:53] ---
    It's in here?
[10:55] ---
    I'm not sure. But I think
    we'll find something!
[11:00] ---
    I didn't see anything over here.
[11:02] ---
    It's just storage.
[11:04] ---
    Something... There has to
    be something here!
[11:14] ---
    Wait... I think this is it!
[11:19] ---
    Love Live! Superstar!!
[11:22] ---
    We will now begin our school assembly.
[11:26] ---
    First, the student council
    president would like to
[11:29] ---
    say a few words regarding
    the school festival.
[11:35] ---
    I am the student council
    president, Ren Hazuki.
[11:37] ---
    Before I speak about the school festival,
[11:39] ---
    please allow me to apologize to you
    for my remarks the other day
[11:42] ---
    and the confusion they have caused.
[11:46] ---
    I'm truly sorry.
[11:48] ---
    I'm sure that many of you
    felt unpleasant or angry.
[11:52] ---
    It's just that I want people on the
    outside to see how wonderful this sch--
[11:56] ---
    What's going to happen
    to the general curriculum?
[11:58] ---
    Are we going to be able to
    participate in the school festival?
[12:01] ---
    Um...
[12:02] ---
    We want to sing even if
    we're not in the music program!
[12:04] ---
    Do we even get that chance?!
[12:06] ---
    Just having us as helpers
    to the music program is cruel!
[12:09] ---
    Please take back what you said!
[12:11] ---
    Are you going to prohibit
    school idol activities, too?
[12:14] ---
    They've done more for
    this school than anyone else!
[12:19] ---
    That's the only thing I...
[12:20] ---
    Wait!
[12:27] ---
    Kanon-chan?
[12:30] ---
    Hazuki-san, there's something
    I'd like to say.
[12:34] ---
    Shibuya-san.
[12:36] ---
    Very well.
[12:38] ---
    Please go up to the stage.
[12:45] ---
    They're all looking at me...
[12:52] ---
    "Jingu Music School"
    "Idol Club Diary"
[12:55] ---
    What is that?
[12:57] ---
    We found this notebook
    in the school idol club room.
[13:03] ---
    This is something the students from
[13:05] ---
    the Jingu Music School wrote
    before this school was created.
[13:09] ---
    These students tried to gather
    students to do idol activities
[13:13] ---
    when they learned that
    the school was going to close.
[13:18] ---
    This is what was written inside.
[13:22] ---
    "We continued being idols at our school,
    but we're still going to lose our school."
[13:28] ---
    "We couldn't stop
    our school from closing."
[13:36] ---
    "But we don't regret anything we've done."
[13:40] ---
    "Jingu Music School"
    "Idol Club Diary"
[13:42] ---
    "The Jingu Music School
    Idol Club Begins!!"
[13:45] ---
    "Because we came together as a school."
[13:48] ---
    "Through our activities, through music,
[13:52] ---
    we all connected!"
[13:55] ---
    "We were able to make
    the best school ever!"
[14:00] ---
    Mother...
[14:02] ---
    "We all worked together,
    dreamed the same dream,
[14:05] ---
    and went through all kinds
    of emotions together."
[14:07] ---
    "This time we spent together
    was like a miracle."
[14:11] ---
    "And that's why I promised everyone..."
[14:15] ---
    "That I would create a school that has
    'connect' in the name here once again."
[14:20] ---
    "Yuigaoka Girls' High School"
[14:21] ---
    "I'm going to create a school
    that connect everyone
[14:23] ---
    through music here once again."
[14:26] ---
    "That is my dream.
    My dream I will see come true."
[14:33] ---
    Your mother created this school and wanted
    to connect everyone through music.
[14:39] ---
    This school is to make
    that dream come true.
[14:43] ---
    A school where the students of
    both programs can be connected.
[14:51] ---
    Being a school idol was
    your mother's best memories.
[14:58] ---
    Her best... memories...
[15:02] ---
    Ren, being a school idol...
[15:10] ---
    ...were my best memories.
[15:19] ---
    This was tucked away with the notebook.
[15:23] ---
    Mother...
[15:27] ---
    Mother...
[15:32] ---
    Mother!
[15:38] ---
    Upsy daisy.
[15:40] ---
    Here you go. All that's left
    of your mother's activities.
[15:44] ---
    You knew, didn't you?
    That my mother was a school idol.
[15:50] ---
    Well, yes. Though I was
    on the supporting side.
[15:54] ---
    Why didn't you tell me?
[15:56] ---
    Don't be too harsh with me, will ya?
    She asked me not to say anything.
[16:00] ---
    She wanted you to make your own decisions
    and for me to watch over you.
[16:04] ---
    Honestly, talk about a pain.
[16:07] ---
    By the way...
[16:08] ---
    Why are you speaking differently?
[16:09] ---
    Hey, this is how I usually am.
[16:12] ---
    Well, you understand now,
    so get a move on!
[16:14] ---
    Get ready for the school festival!
[16:15] ---
    Yes, ma'am! Please excuse us.
[16:21] ---
    I'm sorry.
[16:23] ---
    We're rather behind on the school festival
    preparations because of me.
[16:28] ---
    Come with me.
[16:30] ---
    Wow...
[16:31] ---
    A little more to the right.
[16:32] ---
    Like this?
[16:33] ---
    Yeah!
[16:34] ---
    Where's the stepladder?
[16:36] ---
    --Got it! Here you go!
    --This is the school idols'...?
[16:39] ---
    Yup. The stage we're all creating for
    our performance for the school festival.
[16:44] ---
    All...
[16:45] ---
    Say, Hazuki-san.
[16:58] ---
    Hazuki-san... No, Ren-chan.
[17:02] ---
    Won't you be a school idol with us?
[17:08] ---
    I have no right to do that
    after all the grief I caused you...
[17:14] ---
    I want to sing with you
    as a school idol, Ren-chan.
[17:18] ---
    For the sake of this school... No.
[17:21] ---
    For the sake of all of the feelings
    created in this place.
[17:37] ---
    Don't worry! You can do it!
[17:39] ---
    Be more honest with yourself.
[17:41] ---
    We're always fine, fine!
[18:15] ---
    Okay! Let's all get ready
    for the school festival!
[18:20] ---
    Yeah!
[18:22] ---
    "Yuigaoka Girls' High School 1st
    School Festival!"
[18:22] ---
    Our first ever school festival
    is next Sunday!
[18:25] ---
    We'll be selling some rainbow takoyaki!
[18:28] ---
    We hope you'll come support us!
[18:30] ---
    Huh. I guess they're doing
    a school festival.
[18:33] ---
    Looks like it.
[18:34] ---
    One, two, three, four,
    five, six, seven, eight!
[18:38] ---
    One, two, three...
[18:40] ---
    Amazing, Ren Ren!
[18:42] ---
    Your figure skater skills are paying off!
    You're nothing like that giant isopod.
[18:47] ---
    I keep telling you
    to stop calling me that!
[18:49] ---
    I'm happy.
[18:51] ---
    You just joined but you're
    basically fit to lead us.
[18:54] ---
    You're far too kind.
[18:56] ---
    Ren-chan, want to try being the center?
[19:00] ---
    It's going to be this school's
    first school festival.
[19:03] ---
    Yes, but...
[19:05] ---
    And I want you to sing, Ren-chan.
[19:08] ---
    Me, too.
[19:10] ---
    Me, three.
[19:12] ---
    Well, I'm only going to be the center
    on a much bigger stage.
[19:17] ---
    Guess it's settled.
[19:19] ---
    Coming through!
[19:20] ---
    "Yuigaoka Girls' High School 1st
    School Festival!"
[19:21] ---
    Looking good!
[19:22] ---
    Okay, over here next!
[19:25] ---
    Everyone's staying this late?
[19:27] ---
    We all want everyone to notice our school.
[19:29] ---
    Everyone said we're
    going to help create it together.
[19:34] ---
    Do you think we'll get more applicants?
[19:38] ---
    To be honest, I have no idea.
[19:40] ---
    But we just have to do this.
    We just have to believe.
[19:43] ---
    You're quite strong,
    aren't you, Kanon-san?
[19:46] ---
    I wouldn't say that. It's just...
    I love the moment something begins.
[19:52] ---
    Oh, I know!
[19:56] ---
    What is this?
[19:57] ---
    Since we're all here,
    I figured we could try it.
[20:01] ---
    Could it be? I'll do it!
    I've always dreamed of this!
[20:05] ---
    Can't we just do the usual "hey" thing?
[20:07] ---
    Well, we're school idols.
[20:11] ---
    Let's connect this school through music!
[20:17] ---
    One!
[20:18] ---
    Two!
[20:19] ---
    Three!
[20:20] ---
    Four!
[20:21] ---
    Five!
[20:22] ---
    Yuigaoka Girls' High School Idol Club!
[20:26] ---
    Song for me! Song for you!
[20:27] ---
    (Sing along with me ha-a)
[20:28] ---
    Song for all!
[20:31] ---
    I felt this on the day that we met
[20:37] ---
    My desire to make this come true
    just keeps growing (Starting day a-)
[20:41] ---
    "Yuigaoka Girls' High School 1st School Festival!"
[20:45] ---
    I'll help you protect the thing
    you held onto so tightly
[20:51] ---
    That you were shaking because
    you didn't want it to disappear
[20:59] ---
    Even the morning sun's bright rays
    or sudden showers
[21:06] ---
    Become irreplaceable moments when
    I'm able to smile together with you
[21:16] ---
    Those passionate feelings
    within your chest
[21:23] ---
    On this staff notation
[21:25] ---

    Let's all go together
    and keep on believing
[21:43] ---

[21:59] ---
    The melody of hope
    that we heard back then

    Created this wonderful present
[22:11] ---
    Let's hold it tight
    and take it with us
[22:19] ---
    On this staff notation

[00:01] ---
    Previously on Love Live! Superstar!!
[00:03] ---
    I thought that my mother had regretted
[00:05] ---
    her school idol activities after being
    unable to stop her school from closing.
[00:10] ---
    There's just nothing left!
[00:11] ---
    She didn't leave a single photo of
    these supposed precious memories.
[00:15] ---
    How is that possible?!
[00:16] ---
    Shibuya-san and the others
[00:17] ---
    did everything they could to find
    anything they could about this.
[00:18] ---
    "The Jingu Music School
    Idol Club Begins!!"
[00:19] ---
    And then...
[00:20] ---
    Being a school idol was
    your mother's best memories.
[00:24] ---
    After finding out
    what my mother truly felt,
[00:26] ---
    I decided to follow my dreams
    along with Shibuya-san and the others.
[00:37] ---
    What's wrong?
[00:38] ---
    It's here... finally.
[00:41] ---
    I'm sure it's something about
    how some school idol is ama-- Gala?!
[00:45] ---
    What, seriously, what is your problem?!
[00:48] ---
    It's here!
[00:50] ---
    It's finally, finally here!
    This moment has arrived!
[00:54] ---
    The moment to risk our lives on!
[01:04] ---
    What in the world is this?
[01:06] ---
    It's finally going to start.
[01:08] ---
    The competition to decide who will be
    the pinnacle of the school idol world!
[01:12] ---
    The Love Live.
[01:14] ---
    The Love Live!
[01:17] ---
    You can't stop real dreams
[01:23] ---
    Our hearts are about to start running
[01:28] ---
    "Love Live! Superstar!!"
[01:45] ---
    Before we knew it,
    we found something that we loved
[01:49] ---
    Let these feelings reach you
[01:53] ---
    We've made up our minds, we're serious!
[01:56] ---
    I wonder what we can do
[01:58] ---
    The sky's so bright
[02:00] ---
    Let's look up at it
    and sing our hearts out
[02:06] ---
    Doesn't having something you want to do
[02:10] ---
    Make every day fun?
[02:13] ---
    Do you feel that way, too?
[02:18] ---
    Ah, we've been waiting for this moment
[02:20] ---
    This encounter is where we start
[02:23] ---
    Our dreams are drawn together,
    and it all begins
[02:28] ---
    We realized our true desires and now,
    we can't be stopped
[02:34] ---
    Our hearts are about to start running
[02:40] ---
    As fast as they can run
[02:47] ---
    Lo...ve... Li...ve...
[02:51] ---
    We can finally enter!
[02:54] ---
    The Love Live, huh?
[02:55] ---
    So it's like what other clubs would
    consider a national tournament.
[02:58] ---
    Oh, it's not that simple at all.
[03:02] ---
    The Love Live has been where countless
    moving moments and miracles were created.
[03:06] ---
    For school idols,
    it is the dream! The soul!
[03:10] ---
    It is what gives us life!
[03:12] ---
    I've heard that applicants
    to some schools with school idols
[03:15] ---
    who have won the tournament have gone up.
[03:18] ---
    Yes! There are a number of schools
[03:20] ---
    that instantly became famous
    after they were in danger of closing.
[03:23] ---
    Because of some amateur competition?
[03:27] ---
    I knew you would say something like that.
[03:30] ---
    Behold!
[03:32] ---
    This is where this year's...
[03:34] ---
    ...finals will take place!
[03:37] ---
    Wow...
[03:38] ---
    It's that big?
[03:40] ---
    Yes. Finally... Finally, it's going to
    take place at Jingu Stadium.
[03:46] ---
    Here?
[03:51] ---
    This is where I'll have the attention of
    tens of thousands of people upon me?
[03:55] ---
    Arena!
[03:57] ---
    Galaxy!
[04:02] ---
    The moment I'll finally have
    the spotlight on me...
[04:04] ---
    The moment I dreamed of
    ever since I was a child...
[04:08] ---
    Hey!
[04:09] ---
    It's not going to be
    that easy, you doofus.
[04:13] ---
    Doof?!
[04:14] ---
    What do you mean?
[04:17] ---
    Huh? Ren-chan?
[04:19] ---
    Hm... Hm?!
[04:23] ---
    What is it?
[04:24] ---
    Ren-chan, something seems off...
[04:29] ---
    Hey! She's wearing
    the general curriculum uniform!
[04:31] ---
    That's it!
[04:32] ---
    Even you switched over
    to the general curriculum?
[04:35] ---
    No. It's just that the director
    proposed to allow the students
[04:38] ---
    to wear which ever uniform they'd like,
[04:41] ---
    rather than dividing them
    through programs.
[04:43] ---
    I see! Maybe I'll have
    a music program uniform made.
[04:47] ---
    Why don't we all try it on together?
[04:49] ---
    Hey, that'll be super fun!
[04:51] ---
    Hey!
[04:52] ---
    Where did this conversation go?!
[04:56] ---
    This year's Love Live
    will truly be difficult.
[04:58] ---
    The popularity of school idols
    is continuously growing,
[05:01] ---
    and the number of schools
    that enter every year
[05:03] ---
    also surpasses the previous year's record.
[05:06] ---
    There are only a few schools
    that reach that stage of dreams.
[05:10] ---
    I don't think our chances
    are actually that bad though.
[05:14] ---
    Kanon-chan's songs and
    singing ability are amazing.
[05:16] ---
    And Chi-chan's actually won
    at a dancing competition.
[05:21] ---
    Ren-chan's done figure skating and piano.
[05:23] ---
    Sumire-chan has experience
    being on stage ever since she was little.
[05:27] ---
    And Keke-chan's passion
    is our ultimate weapon.
[05:30] ---
    I'm not sure if we'll win, but maybe
    we could make it to the prelims...
[05:33] ---
    You're too naïve!
[05:35] ---
    Super... naïve...!
[05:38] ---
    Super naïve. Super naïve!
[05:41] ---
    --Ultra, super naïve!
    --Why do you seem different?
[05:44] ---
    I will enter us, but just know
    that to blast through,
[05:46] ---
    we'll need a magnificent song and
    an incredibly powerful performance.
[05:51] ---
    Be prepared!
[05:52] ---
    It has to be a new song, right?
[05:55] ---
    Okay, Kanon-chan, write the lyrics.
[05:58] ---
    And you want me to compose?
[06:00] ---
    Is that a no?
[06:01] ---
    Well, there're five of us now and
    I think that'll give us new direction.
[06:05] ---
    Well, I'm sure I can
    come up with something...
[06:08] ---
    Make sure it's flashy and elegant.
[06:13] ---
    What's wrong?
SIGN    "School Name: Yuigaoka Girls' High School" "Group Name:"
[06:18] ---
    Yuigaoka School Idol Club...
[06:22] ---
    "Required"
    "Group Name:"
[06:23] ---
    Our group name?
[06:24] ---
    "What's Your Name?"
[06:25] ---
    Come to think of it...
[06:27] ---
    What is our group name?
[06:31] ---
    I can't think of one at all!
[06:34] ---
    Right?
[06:35] ---
    Seriously? You never thought of one?
[06:37] ---
    Well, we were getting by
    just as Yuigaoka's school idols.
[06:42] ---
    Keke-chan did use Kuukaa
    in the beginning, but...
[06:46] ---
    Precisely!
[06:48] ---
    So now that there are five of us,
    we'll need Kuukaa's successor!
[06:51] ---
    Let's take all of our initials!
[06:54] ---
    "Chikerekasu"
[06:56] ---
    Chikerekasu?
[06:58] ---
    It sounds like internet slang.
[07:00] ---
    Cursed...
[07:01] ---
    What?!
[07:02] ---
    Well that's what it
    sounds like! Look! "Kasu"!
[07:04] ---
    Did you think of anything, Chi-chan?
[07:06] ---
    I think we should go with... Maru.
[07:10] ---
    Maru?
[07:11] ---
    For example...
[07:13] ---
    Maru Maru Circle!
[07:15] ---
    Circle means a ring, right?
[07:17] ---
    So we can have circles come together
[07:19] ---
    in this round world
    that's overflowing with circles.
[07:21] ---
    I'm so happy.
[07:23] ---
    Maru... Circle...
[07:25] ---
    Yeah! Everything starts from a circle!
[07:27] ---
    It's the world's greatest mystery
    and the beginning of all life!
[07:31] ---
    Yes! Manholes! Balls! Manmaru's eyes!
    A drop of water! The moon!
[07:36] ---
    The earth! The sun!
[07:38] ---
    All of it! It all goes round and round
    and round! Everything is a circle!
[07:45] ---
    Do you have anything, Ren-chan?
[07:47] ---
    Did you just ignore me?
[07:48] ---
    I-I can't say that I do...
[07:51] ---
    Um, I'm terribly sorry. I may not be
    understanding the directions properly...
SIGN    "Unequalled Dimensions" "Elegant Sisters" "Circular Maidens" "Nine"
[07:55] ---
    Yes! The one who understands
    this group the most is Kanon!
[08:00] ---
    Well, in that case... Maybe we should just
    go with Yuigaoka School Idols...
[08:06] ---
    That's boring.
[08:07] ---
    Well, what else is there?
    We can't think of anything.
[08:09] ---
    Oh, fine. Then I'll just have to flex
    my show business muscles and--
[08:15] ---
    I've got it!
[08:16] ---
    Galaxy!
[08:18] ---
    I believe that some
    legendary school idols...
[08:22] ---
    "Looking for name suggestions!"
SIGN    "Yuigaoka Girls' High School Idol Club group name suggestion box"
[08:26] ---
    ...asked for name suggestions like this.
[08:28] ---
    Do you think people will do it?
[08:30] ---
    I doubt there'll be anything
    decent even if they do.
[08:33] ---
    Don't worry! If we just
    leave this here, by the weekend...
[08:38] ---
    Nothing...
[08:39] ---
    It's as empty as empty can be.
[08:41] ---
    Shut your mouth!
[08:43] ---
    Do people really have
    that little interest in us?
[08:45] ---
    It could be because I was
    against this idea for so long.
[08:50] ---
    I don't think that's the case.
[08:51] ---
    I'm sure everyone knows how you felt
    after the school festival.
[08:55] ---
    Then I wonder why...
[08:58] ---
    Your group name?
[08:59] ---
    Yes. We actually don't have one yet.
[09:02] ---
    Oh, I guess you never mentioned it.
[09:06] ---
    One of our fans came up with our name.
[09:09] ---
    Yes. They just suggested it to us.
[09:12] ---
    Well, you two are pretty popular.
[09:15] ---
    Actually, back then, we really weren't.
[09:18] ---
    We were just trying to
    get people to remember us
[09:20] ---
    by putting up videos and stuff.
[09:23] ---
    Videos...
[09:24] ---
    Stream?
[09:25] ---
    Yeah. Apparently school idols
    don't only sing or dance.
[09:29] ---
    They do all sorts of other things.
[09:31] ---
    I guess we only have our songs up.
[09:34] ---
    I was careless. I was so busy
    thinking about the Love Live...
[09:40] ---
    Um...
[09:42] ---
    I do apologize if this is
    a rather silly question...
[09:44] ---
    But what exactly is video streaming?
[09:48] ---
    Are we handing videos out somewhere...?
[09:52] ---
    Wait...
[09:53] ---
    Ren-chan, you really don't know?
[09:55] ---
    Yes. I was told to stay
    far away from such things.
[10:01] ---
    Okay, then let's give it a try.
[10:06] ---
    This is video streaming?
SIGN    "Title" "Visibility" "Stream Quality" "Thumbnail"
[10:08] ---
    We're going to film with this and have
    people from all around the world watch
[10:11] ---
    so that they'll remember
    the school idols from Yuigaoka.
[10:14] ---
    Then someone will probably
    come up with a good name.
SIGN    "Title" "Visibility" "Stream Quality" "Thumbnail"
[10:18] ---
    Okay, here we go.
[10:20] ---
    Um, uh...
[10:22] ---
    U-Um... My name is Ren Hazuki,
    and I am the student council president
[10:26] ---
    at Yuigaoka Girls' High School.
[10:28] ---
    Um, as school idols, we would
    like to enter the Love Li...
SIGN    "What's going on" "Whoa, what!?" "What's happening??" "You've got this" "So cute"
[10:41] ---
    "She's so nervous"
    "Student Council President"
    "Keep it up"
[10:45] ---
    What in the world is this?!
[10:47] ---
    People watching you are sending messages.
    Try replying to them.
[10:54] ---
    "So cute"...
[10:56] ---
    "You're beautiful."
[10:57] ---
    "Your hairstyle is lovely"...
[11:00] ---
    Honestly! Please don't
    start this out of nowhere!
[11:03] ---
    We were just testing things out.
[11:05] ---
    Please shut this off immediately!
[11:07] ---
    What?!
[11:09] ---
    Okay, are you ready? Do you know
    what you're going to say?
[11:12] ---
    All set!
[11:13] ---
    You should have let me properly
    prepare like this to begin with.
[11:17] ---
    Okay, here we go!
[11:19] ---
    Wait a moment.
[11:20] ---
    Huh?
[11:21] ---
    What about you, Kanon-san?
    Are you not going to be filmed?
[11:24] ---
    Huh? Me?
[11:27] ---
    I'm filming?
[11:28] ---
    You're filming?
[11:31] ---
    That's not fair
    after you forced us to do this.
[11:34] ---
    Precisely!
[11:36] ---
    Yeah, yeah!
[11:40] ---
    Hello. We're the school idols
    from Yuigaoka Girls' High.
[11:46] ---
    First, we'll introduce ourselves.
[11:49] ---
    W-We are doing school idol
    activities at Yuigaoka...
[11:54] ---
    Actually, this is embarrassing,
    so let's stop.
[11:56] ---
    Who do you think you are?!
[11:58] ---
    --Ow, ow, ow!
    --Did you really just say that?
[12:00] ---
    Hey, we're on camera.
[12:02] ---
    Chisato!
[12:04] ---
    Circles, circles, circles!
[12:07] ---
    --Go!
    --Huh?
[12:09] ---
    Uh... I... ♬ Giant isopod! ♬
[12:12] ---
    Hide them more!
[12:15] ---
    Circles!
[12:16] ---
    ♬ Giant isopod! ♬
[12:18] ---
    Amazing! We just got a flood of likes.
[12:21] ---
    How the heck are we supposed to be
    happy getting likes for this?!
[12:27] ---
    We basically got nowhere.
[12:30] ---
    This is all because of you.
[12:32] ---
    What? Me?!
[12:34] ---
    And we couldn't practice at all today
[12:37] ---
    because of all this fuss
    over our name and stream.
[12:39] ---
    Let's forget about the name for now
[12:41] ---
    and we'll need to start properly
    practicing again tomorrow.
[12:44] ---
    So, are you done with the song yet?
[12:47] ---
    Song?
[12:48] ---
    Oh, right. Kanon-san was
    supposed to come up with lyrics.
[12:51] ---
    Huh? But the music comes first.
[12:54] ---
    I thought I was supposed to
    compose after the lyrics.
[12:57] ---
    No way. I was going to write the lyrics
    after the music was done...
[13:05] ---
    What?!
[13:10] ---
    Love Live! Superstar!!
[13:13] ---
    Eyes up front! No wobbling!
[13:16] ---
    Just five more seconds! Three! Two! One!
[13:20] ---
    And done.
[13:24] ---
    Next, we're going to do some jazz dancing
[13:26] ---
    --and then do three sets
    of situps and squats.
[13:27] ---
    --My legs are stiff.
    --and then do three sets
    of situps and squats.
[13:29] ---
    Really?!
[13:31] ---
    We're basically an athletic club.
[13:33] ---
    What did you expect?
[13:34] ---
    We don't have a song,
    or any choreography done,
[13:36] ---
    so we just have to cover the basics.
[13:38] ---
    Are we really going to make it in time?
[13:41] ---
    Well...
[13:46] ---
    Stare...
[13:50] ---
    I know! I know, okay?!
[13:52] ---
    But if it's supposed to be a song that
    represents our group and the school,
[13:56] ---
    it get's pretty hard...
[13:57] ---
    I don't think you need to
    think that hard on it.
[14:00] ---
    Correct! Just put the feelings you feel
    when you see the five of us into a song!
[14:06] ---
    Okay, then let me ask.
[14:07] ---
    Keke-chan, what do you feel
    when you see the five of us?
[14:11] ---
    Well, um...
[14:15] ---
    Like we're supreme...
    The best... Excellent...
[14:21] ---
    Or perhaps not.
[14:22] ---
    See?
[14:24] ---
    Well, obviously, we're clearly
    nothing but galaxy.
[14:27] ---
    What? I'm pretty sure we're circles.
[14:29] ---
    I mean our name is
    Maru Maru Circle after all.
[14:32] ---
    We've declined that name.
[14:34] ---
    Then what exactly is our name?
[14:36] ---
    Well...
[14:37] ---
    See? You're all in the same boat as me.
[14:40] ---
    This is hard. We're all pretty different,
[14:43] ---
    and it's not like we all first came together
    with a common goal or anything.
[14:47] ---
    Yes, that's quite understandable, but...
[14:50] ---
    But we don't have
    that much more time to enter.
[14:53] ---
    Are we going to give up?
[14:55] ---
    Of course, we aren't!
[14:57] ---
    In that case...
[14:59] ---
    Yes...?
[15:00] ---
    In that case...
[15:03] ---
    What is this?
[15:05] ---
    The Japanese art of room confinement!
[15:07] ---
    You're not leaving until
    you think of something!
[15:13] ---
    That's not fair. Why is it all on me?
[15:37] ---
    What's this over here?"
[15:39] ---
    Wow! A giant bed!
[15:42] ---
    Hup!
[15:44] ---
    It's so fluffy!
[15:46] ---
    I've always wanted to sleep on
    a bed like this! Rolly roll!
[15:51] ---
    Zzz...
[15:55] ---
    Kanon-chan.
[15:58] ---
    Are you done with the song yet?
[15:59] ---
    Chi-chan.
[16:01] ---
    Keke-chan?!
[16:02] ---
    It appears...
[16:04] ---
    ...that you'll need some supervision.
[16:07] ---
    Stare...
[16:13] ---
    Um, uh...
[16:15] ---
    Yes?
[16:18] ---
    Oh! It's Maru Maru Galaxy!
[16:25] ---
    Ow!
[16:27] ---
    What the?
[16:31] ---
    Ch-Chibi... It's been a while.
[16:37] ---
    No!
[16:41] ---
    So that's what happened.
[16:43] ---
    That must've been rough.
[16:45] ---
    I can't believe you have to
    do it all by yourself.
[16:48] ---
    I know, right?!
[16:49] ---
    Not to mention, they're like,
    you should write the lyrics!
[16:52] ---
    And, "I can't come up with
    music without lyrics!"
[16:55] ---
    They're relying on me too much!
[16:57] ---
    Morning!
[16:58] ---
    Ah, Kanon!
[17:00] ---
    Are you done with the lyrics?
[17:02] ---
    Well, actually...
[17:04] ---
    But yesterday...
[17:06] ---
    I thought of them so we're good!
[17:08] ---
    I'll write the rest at home!
[17:10] ---
    Isn't that what you said?
[17:12] ---
    Well, I mean, I figured you wouldn't
    let me go home otherwise.
[17:16] ---
    You lied to us?! Then you're
    no better than this giant isopod!
[17:21] ---
    Stop saying that so casually!
[17:22] ---
    Oh, come on. Kanon-chan is doing her best.
[17:25] ---
    Yeah. Not to mention,
    I know how Kanon-chan feels.
[17:29] ---
    It's really hard to round
    all of you up into one image.
[17:33] ---
    You think so?
[17:34] ---
    You know how you all were
    asking for name suggestions?
[17:37] ---
    We were all talking about it...
[17:40] ---
    But couldn't come up with anything.
[17:42] ---
    Yeah. You're all just getting started,
    so you're still a blank slate.
[17:48] ---
    This might sound mean,
    but you have no distinguishing features.
[17:54] ---
    See you later.
[17:55] ---
    Bye!
[18:00] ---
    We're not exactly a bunch of
    talented stars who got together either...
[18:05] ---
    But we're not all ordinary people
[18:07] ---
    who came together to overcome something...
[18:11] ---
    Meaning our chances at succeeding
    in show business are nonexistent.
[18:15] ---
    We're in the warring states area of school
    idols right now. We stand no chance.
[18:19] ---
    You think so?
[18:24] ---
    Kanon-chan?
[18:25] ---
    I'm going to skip practice today.
[18:27] ---
    That's rather sudden.
[18:28] ---
    I think I might've come up with something
    with what we were talking about.
[18:32] ---
    You mean lyrics? Or our group name?
[18:35] ---
    I don't know, but... All of it!
[18:41] ---
    All of it?
[18:42] ---
    Yeah. I think I figured out
    exactly what the five of us are.
[18:43] ---
    Wow...Dreaming!
[18:47] ---
    Kanon-chan!
[18:49] ---
    Sorry we always rely on you.
[18:52] ---
    No. I'm sorry I'm taking so long, too.
[18:55] ---
    Whenever I'm walking by myself
[18:56] ---
    But I think I finally found the answer!
[18:58] ---
    You look pretty certain.
[19:00] ---
    I think of all these things I want to do
[19:00] ---
    Then let us practice!
[19:02] ---
    Let's start with running! Follow me!
[19:04] ---
    Can I do it? Don't worry!
[19:05] ---
    You always pass out.
[19:08] ---
    I wonder who just answered my question
[19:15] ---
    I just can't stay still
[19:19] ---
    The weather's so nice in the city
[19:24] ---
    I think something's about to happen
[19:28] ---
    Eventually, I end up running
[19:31] ---
    I have a feeling I'll
    coincidentally run into you
[19:36] ---
    Listen, hey, listen!
[19:38] ---
    I want to start today
[19:42] ---
    Ah, but I just can't find
    the right words yet
[19:46] ---
    Forever (Dreaming) in my heart (Dreaming)
[19:49] ---
    "Hey Hey!"
[19:50] ---
    I've always had this Dreaming Energy
[19:53] ---
    Listen, hey, listen!
[19:56] ---
    I want to start today
    so I want to tell you immediately
[20:03] ---
    If we all connect
[20:07] ---
    We can really have some fun;
    I just know it!
[20:10] ---
    "School Idol Club"
[20:18] ---
    Well?
[20:21] ---
    I think it's great!
[20:23] ---
    I believe these lyrics accurately
    despite who we are right now.
[20:26] ---
    Thanks! Also, I thought up a group name!
[20:30] ---
    "Nebula Girls!" "Circle"
    "Transcendent Mother Goddess" "Galaxy!"
[20:34] ---
    "Liella!"?
[20:36] ---
    I tried to base it off of the French word
    "relier" which means to connect.
[20:40] ---
    You know, because Ren-chan's mother
    wanted all of our feelings to connect
[20:46] ---
    when she named this school.
[20:48] ---
    Yes.
[20:49] ---
    We can do the same as school idols.
[20:53] ---
    And I was hoping we could all be connected
    through various colors of light.
[20:57] ---
    Light...
[21:03] ---
    Red, blue, green...
[21:07] ---
    Through being connected and tied together,
[21:10] ---
    we'll become a light filled with
    different colors we could never imagine.
[21:14] ---
    And that's only possible because
    we don't have any colors yet.
[21:19] ---
    Because we come from this school
    that's only just begun.
[21:23] ---
    Because we're us...
[21:25] ---
    That's not a bad idea.
[21:27] ---
    "Liella!"...
[21:29] ---
    "Liella!"...
[21:30] ---
    "Liella!"...
[21:31] ---
    "Liella!"...
[21:34] ---
    "Liella!"...
[21:39] ---
    Okay, now that that's settled...
[21:42] ---
    Hiyah!
[21:47] ---
    We're Yuigaoka High's
    school idols! Liella!
[21:52] ---
    I told you this was too big!
[21:55] ---
    This is perfect! We have to
    keep getting even more famous!
[21:58] ---
    We have to win.
[22:00] ---
    Yeah!
[22:03] ---
    Okay, everyone. I'm going to enter us!
[22:07] ---
    Our name is...
[22:10] ---
    Liella!
[22:11] ---
    "Group Name:
    Liella!"
[22:15] ---
    The future is calling to us
[22:18] ---
    Like the wind
[22:21] ---
    No one knows what the future holds for us
[22:29] ---
    Even then, we want to move forward
[22:32] ---
    Because we don't want to have any regrets
[22:35] ---
    You can't hold down our hearts
[22:39] ---
    Let's all be free
[22:43] ---
    We're not going to give up!
[22:47] ---
    Because we decided that
[22:50] ---
    We'll cry, laugh, and do our best
[22:53] ---
    We all want to surpass our limits
[22:58] ---
    It's important to believe
[23:02] ---
    And once we told ourselves that
[23:05] ---
    Let's try to go even further
[23:12] ---
    We may be small, but we have big dreams
[23:20] ---
    We won't give in, now, let's fly together
[23:27] ---
    Let's fly the best we can,
    now, let's fly together
[23:37] ---
    Next time, "Check It Out!!"

    Previously on Love Live! Superstar!!
[00:03] ---
    It's finally Love Live season
    and we enter our group.
[00:09] ---
    --But...
    --Our group name?
[00:09] ---
    "Required"
    "Group Name:"
[00:10] ---
    "Looking for name suggestions!"
[00:11] ---
    We were trying to figure out our group
    name and come up with a new song, but...
[00:13] ---
    "Chikerekasu"
[00:15] ---
    I can't think of one at all!
[00:18] ---
    And that's when Kanon-chan
    was hit with dreaming energy!
[00:19] ---
    "Hey Hey!"
[00:21] ---
    "Nebula Girls!" "Circle"
    "Transcendent Mother Goddess" "Galaxy!"
[00:21] ---
    "Liella!"?
[00:23] ---
    And I was hoping we could all be connected
    through various colors of light.
[00:27] ---
    Our name was finally decided and we were
    officially heading towards the Love Live!
[00:32] ---
    This is it.
[00:35] ---
    These are the schools that made it
[00:38] ---
    into the regional prelims!
[00:44] ---
    Why are there so many?
[00:46] ---
    This is really the regional prelims?
[00:47] ---
    This many schools entered?
[00:50] ---
    Well, this year is the biggest
    competition with the most schools.
[00:55] ---
    So it's going to be very competitive?
[00:57] ---
    Because there are so many
    entries at the regional level,
[00:59] ---
    there are rumors that
    there will be something to
[01:01] ---
    knock back the number of entries prior.
[01:03] ---
    So we might not even
    make it to the regionals?
[01:05] ---
    I'm not certain,
[01:06] ---
    but there's talk saying it'll be hard
    for things to go like last year.
[01:09] ---
    For example...
[01:10] ---
    So, like, are they gonna decide
    with rock-paper-scissors?
[01:15] ---
    First comes rock...
[01:16] ---
    Rock-paper--
[01:17] ---
    Yeah, that's probably not how it'll go...
[01:19] ---
    Well, then what else is there?
[01:23] ---
    I guess...
[01:26] ---
    We'll just have to go and find out.
[01:28] ---
    By going to the meeting
    explaining the regional prelims!
[01:31] ---
    Ta-da! This year's Love Live
    is finally about to begin!
[01:35] ---
    I'm sure that you're all wondering what's
    going on with the regional prelims,
[01:38] ---
    so I'll go ahead and announce that.
[01:41] ---
    --Yeah!
    --Here we go...
[01:43] ---
    --Things are just getting started!
    --Yeah.
[01:46] ---
    You can't stop real dreams
[01:52] ---
    Our hearts are about to start running
[01:57] ---
    "Love Live! Superstar!!"
[02:14] ---
    Before we knew it,
    we found something that we loved
[02:18] ---
    Let these feelings reach you
[02:22] ---
    We've made up our minds, we're serious!
[02:25] ---
    I wonder what we can do
[02:27] ---
    The sky's so bright
[02:29] ---
    Let's look up at it
    and sing our hearts out
[02:35] ---
    Doesn't having something you want to do
[02:39] ---
    Make every day fun?
[02:42] ---
    Do you feel that way, too?
[02:47] ---
    Ah, we've been waiting for this moment
[02:49] ---
    This encounter is where we start
[02:52] ---
    Our dreams are drawn together,
    and it all begins
[02:57] ---
    We realized our true desires and now,
    we can't be stopped
[03:03] ---
    Our hearts are about to start running
[03:09] ---
    As fast as they can run
[03:15] ---
    "Check It Out!!"
[03:17] ---
    The regional prelims are
    very exciting every year,
[03:21] ---
    but there are so many entries this year,
[03:24] ---
    it'd be difficult to have
    all the groups sing,
[03:27] ---
    so after much deliberation,
    we decided on rock-paper-scissors...
[03:30] ---
    See? I told you so! I told you so,
    I totally told you so!
[03:33] ---
    We'll win! We're going to win!
[03:35] ---
    ...at first, but that would be
    too unfortunate for the losing groups.
[03:41] ---
    What?
[03:42] ---
    Stop being so confusing!
[03:44] ---
    We decided each region would have
    a theme to their songs.
[03:47] ---
    Theme?
[03:49] ---
    Each group will have to create a song
    that fits their given theme
[03:51] ---
    which will be performed
    at the competition.
[03:54] ---
    We're in the southwest Tokyo region
    which includes Shibuya,
[03:56] ---
    the center of the latest trends.
[03:59] ---
    Which means that your
    assignment will be... this!
[04:04] ---
    Rap?
[04:05] ---
    By rap, do you mean...
[04:08] ---
    Yes, that rap!
[04:10] ---
    Hey, yo! Each group will be
    rapping their way
[04:13] ---
    into the competition, yo!
[04:17] ---
    If you don't finish your song in time
[04:20] ---
    that's gonna be your last rhyme, yo!
[04:25] ---
    Hey, yo! The name is Kanon Shibuya!
[04:28] ---
    Though the name's Shibuya
[04:29] ---
    the Crossing scrambles my brain and...
[04:31] ---
    I can't... think of what else to say.
[04:35] ---
    Well, rap's origin is from the streets.
[04:38] ---
    Then are these the official outfits?
[04:41] ---
    Chi-chan, you do this! This is different
    from singing and it's hard!
[04:45] ---
    Okay.
[04:46] ---
    We were taught some rap in our
    dance classes, so I'll give it a try.
[04:52] ---
    Heyo. My name is Chisato.
    Chisato Arashi.
[04:55] ---
    From Shibuya I came
    and dancing's my game!
[04:58] ---
    A storm advances when Chi-chan dances!
[05:05] ---
    Hey!
[05:06] ---
    Um... what happened to rapping?
[05:08] ---
    Oh, right.
[05:09] ---
    Well, when I start dancing,
    it's hard to think about anything else.
[05:14] ---
    I'd like for Chisato-san
    to continue to help us get
[05:17] ---
    the lead on other groups with our dancing,
[05:19] ---
    so she might not be
    the best person for this task.
[05:21] ---
    Which leaves us with...
[05:23] ---
    I-I couldn't possibly!
    I don't know anything about this.
[05:27] ---
    Don't worry. Just try to think up some
    rhymes and sing what comes to mind.
[05:31] ---
    Hey, first you can
    start with an intro, yo!
[05:36] ---
    I-Introduce myself by... rhyming?
[05:41] ---
    Fall, filled with scarlet
[05:43] ---
    With this song I will present
[05:44] ---
    Ren Hazuki.
[05:46] ---
    My feelings still belong to
    the 16th night...
[05:50] ---
    That's a haiku.
[05:51] ---
    It is actually a tanka!
[05:52] ---
    You told me that I had to rhyme!
[05:54] ---
    By the way, I used 16th night
    because I'm 16, and...
[06:00] ---
    None of this matters.
[06:02] ---
    If Ren-chan can't do it, then Keke-chan!
[06:05] ---
    Hey, yo! Check it out!
[06:11] ---
    And now it's all in Chinese.
[06:14] ---
    So the only one left is Sumire-chan.
[06:16] ---
    But she can't! This is our first
    assignment towards our precious Love Live!
[06:20] ---
    We can't leave this up to the one who has
    the lowest potential out of all of us...
[06:25] ---
    Hey, yo! Now that I've
    got your attention
[06:28] ---
    Yuigaoka, allow me this mention!
[06:31] ---
    Sumire Heanna is my name
[06:34] ---
    I'm an AB and being a shrine
    priestess is my game. Hey!
[06:37] ---
    Seriously?
[06:38] ---
    Wow...
[06:39] ---
    I can't believe you thought
    of that on the spot...
[06:42] ---
    Need I remind you that I've been in
    show business ever since I was little?
[06:47] ---
    I know how to adlib.
[06:49] ---
    We've... got a chance!
[06:56] ---
    Wait, does this mean...
[06:58] ---
    What's wrong?
[06:59] ---
    You're the one who's
    going to have to sing this.
[07:04] ---
    N-Now wait just a second...
[07:06] ---
    What's the matter?
[07:07] ---
    Well, um... Uh, this might
    be a silly question...
[07:11] ---
    Does that mean that my position will be...
[07:13] ---
    The center.
[07:15] ---
    Considering the assignment,
[07:16] ---
    we'd want you to be singing
    from the most prominent position.
[07:20] ---
    I was against it...
[07:22] ---
    Oh...
[07:28] ---
    What?!
[07:29] ---
    You just got it?
[07:30] ---
    I-I mean, we're talking about me, here!
[07:32] ---
    Are we really, positively okay
    with me being the center?
[07:34] ---
    Yes, we already established that.
[07:36] ---
    B-But, I mean...
[07:38] ---
    Maybe we should reconsider.
[07:41] ---
    Why do you say that?
[07:43] ---
    She's lived her whole life not being
    able to stand in the center.
[07:47] ---
    Maybe that means that
    she's not fit to be there...
[07:50] ---
    If we're going there, I wasn't
    able to sing in front of people.
[07:53] ---
    And I'm basically a beginner
    when it comes to singing on stage.
[07:57] ---
    But...
[07:59] ---
    The past is the past.
    What's important is what we do now.
[08:02] ---
    --Yup. We just got our name "Liella!,"
    so we can basically start things new.
[08:06] ---
    --Sneaky sneak...
    --Yup. We just got our name "Liella!,"
    so we can basically start things new.
[08:07] ---
    --Sneaky sneak...
    --Well, if you two insist...
[08:11] ---
    Anyway, if you're going to
    stand in the center,
[08:13] ---
    you need to take this seriously.
[08:15] ---
    You better not take
    being a school idol lightly!
[08:17] ---
    I know that. Who do you think I am?
    I grew up in show business--
[08:22] ---
    You're just proving my point!
[08:24] ---
    This year's Love Live is
    going to be a struggle to get into.
[08:27] ---
    Please be serious about
    making it to the top!
[08:30] ---
    F-Fine, jeez...
[08:35] ---
    Are you that worried?
[08:36] ---
    No, not exactly...
[08:39] ---
    Sumire-san has never been the center?
[08:43] ---
    She always talks about
    how she wants to be up front,
[08:46] ---
    but when we actually
    try to get her to do it,
[08:48] ---
    she tries to put it on me,
    Chi-chan, or Keke-chan...
[08:52] ---
    Maybe she doesn't want to do it?
[08:54] ---
    She probably doesn't have the confidence
    because of everything she's been through.
[08:59] ---
    But if the five of us really want to win,
[09:03] ---
    we all need to put our all into this,
[09:05] ---
    and be invested enough to be the center.
[09:10] ---
    So you should support her, too, Keke-chan.
[09:13] ---
    If she puts her all into this,
[09:14] ---
    I think Sumire-chan will show her
    true potential and be unstoppable.
[09:18] ---
    Support...?
[09:20] ---
    Yeah. Despite how it seems,
    I think it actually gets to her
[09:23] ---
    that she made you mad
    when it comes to school idols.
[09:37] ---
    95, 96...
[09:41] ---
    ...97, 98...
[09:46] ---
    ...99, 100...
[09:55] ---
    How long are you going to practice, Sis?
    It's time for dinner.
[09:59] ---
    You can go ahead and eat.
[10:15] ---
    The center...
[10:16] ---
    "Autumn School Arts Festival"
[10:16] ---
    Being a villager is a very important role.
[10:19] ---
    I...
[10:20] ---
    We'll have you play the friend
    of our protagonist, Sumire-san.
[10:25] ---
    I'm...
[10:26] ---
    And the winner is...
[10:34] ---
    I'm...
[10:39] ---
    A-e-i-u-e-o-a-o! Ka-ke-ki-ku-ke-ko-ka-ko!
[10:45] ---
    Sa-se-shi-su-se-so-sa-so!
    Ta-te-chi-tsu-te-to-ta-to!
[10:54] ---
    An outfit?
[11:00] ---
    What's going on?
[11:01] ---
    Making the outfits is my job,
    so hurry up and put it on.
[11:08] ---
    This is mine?!
[11:11] ---
    You don't really have a presence,
[11:14] ---
    so I made yours stand out a bit more
    so you have a chance as the center.
[11:19] ---
    Then let's have you
    put that on and try singing.
[11:22] ---
    We were thinking about getting
    the other students' opinions,
[11:26] ---
    so let's take a video
    and have them look at it.
[11:28] ---
    Huh? But, I...
[11:39] ---
    You look great, Sumire-chan!
[11:41] ---
    You really do look lovely.
[11:43] ---
    Great job, Keke-chan.
[11:45] ---
    I-It's not like I did much...
[11:48] ---
    Well? Do you feel
    a little more confident now?
[11:53] ---
    Okay, here we go. Music...
[11:56] ---
    ...start!
[12:01] ---
    Love Live! Superstar!!
[12:05] ---
    Hm... It'd be better if
    Sumire-chan sang this part, too.
[12:10] ---
    Kanon-chan.
[12:11] ---
    Oh, morning. How'd the video turn out?
[12:14] ---
    Well, actually...
[12:21] ---
    We should switch?
[12:23] ---
    Yeah...
[12:24] ---
    Everyone seemed to love
    the substance of the song.
[12:27] ---
    They said they loved it and we'd be
    able to get through the prelims, but...
[12:32] ---
    But they said we should switch centers?
[12:34] ---
    Yeah. They kept suggesting
    you or Ren-chan.
[12:38] ---
    That's just because that's
    what they're used to seeing, isn't it?
[12:43] ---
    I said that, too, but...
[12:45] ---
    "I asked my friends and
    they said the same thing."
[12:48] ---
    "She's trying too hard..."
[12:51] ---
    "If you want to get through the prelims,
    you might want to considering swapping."
[12:55] ---
    What do you think we should do?
[12:57] ---
    Isn't it obvious?
[13:00] ---
    Sumire-chan...
[13:02] ---
    We're school idols for this school,
[13:04] ---
    so we should obviously do what they want.
[13:07] ---
    But...
[13:08] ---
    I always thought it was weird
[13:09] ---
    to have someone like me
    who's been in show business
[13:11] ---
    to be the center at some prelims for
    an amateur contest like the Love Live.
[13:17] ---
    I'll wait for my turn at the finals.
[13:22] ---
    Sumire-chan, wait.
[13:25] ---
    Wha--
[13:27] ---
    Why are you running away?
[13:30] ---
    I'm against this. We already decided this,
    so you should be the center!
[13:36] ---
    Did you not hear me?
    I already made the outfits.
[13:39] ---
    It doesn't matter what anyone else says.
    You should be the center.
[13:43] ---
    Keke-chan...
[13:46] ---
    I can't...
[13:48] ---
    You may say that, but I already know...
[13:50] ---
    In the end, it's never me!
[13:52] ---
    Sumire-chan!
[14:09] ---
    Sumire-chan's not coming...
[14:12] ---
    Yeah.
[14:15] ---
    We really need to decide
    what to do about the center.
[14:19] ---
    What do you think, Ren-chan?
[14:20] ---
    It's a difficult situation.
[14:22] ---
    Sumire-san is a very
    skilled singer and dancer.
[14:26] ---
    But if I was asked if she was
    the best in our group...
[14:31] ---
    Kanon-chan is the best singer.
[14:32] ---
    And the best dancer is Chi-chan.
[14:34] ---
    Ren-chan is the most elegant,
    and Keke-chan shines the most.
[14:39] ---
    Sumire-chan has
    all of these qualities, but...
[14:43] ---
    That's probably why her dreams
    haven't come true yet.
[14:48] ---
    Yeah, and that's exactly why I think
    that she should be the center.
[14:52] ---
    Because she has all of
    the skills she needs.
[15:01] ---
    Hello, Sis?
[15:04] ---
    Yeah.
[15:06] ---
    I got a text from Dad.
[15:09] ---
    The Love Live?
[15:10] ---
    Yeah, it's coming up soon.
[15:13] ---
    We don't know the results yet.
[15:16] ---
    Yeah, I know.
[15:18] ---
    I remember that I promised
    that if I don't make it,
[15:21] ---
    I'll come home.
[15:23] ---
    Go home?!
[15:24] ---
    Yeah. We're busy practicing
    right now, so I'll let you go.
[15:38] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
[15:39] ---
    I guess we can start with the four of us.
[15:42] ---
    I'll try contacting
    Sumire-chan again later.
[15:49] ---
    Sumire-chan.
[15:56] ---
    I guess I'm a little late.
[15:58] ---
    Is that really how you're
    going to act as the center?
[16:01] ---
    I told you to take this seriously.
[16:03] ---
    The center?
[16:05] ---
    Yeah. We were just
    talking about it, and...
[16:09] ---
    We still want you to be the center.
[16:12] ---
    But why?
[16:13] ---
    Why?
[16:15] ---
    Because you pity me?
[16:17] ---
    Even though no matter how hard I try,
    I can never be the center?
[16:20] ---
    No. Kanon-san was just...
[16:22] ---
    What other possible reason is there?!
[16:28] ---
    I don't want to be the center out of pity.
[16:32] ---
    Everyone at school says that
    someone else should be the center.
[16:36] ---
    Then...
[16:37] ---
    This isn't about pity!
[16:40] ---
    I would never make you
    an outfit out of pity!
[16:46] ---
    You can have that outfit back.
[16:48] ---
    If you still insist on me
    being the center,
[16:51] ---
    I'm going to quit being a school idol.
[16:53] ---
    But...
[16:55] ---
    Is that the extent of how you feel
    about school idols?!
[16:59] ---
    Weren't you going to finally obtain
    the spotlight at the Love Live?!
[17:02] ---
    We have to win, right?!
[17:06] ---
    You have to win this
    no matter what, right?
[17:12] ---
    Wait...
[17:15] ---
    Sumire-chan!
[17:16] ---
    Wait!
[17:21] ---
    Wait!
[17:25] ---
    Just shut up already! We're done talking.
[17:31] ---
    You heard my conversation
    on the phone, didn't you?
[17:35] ---
    It was wrong of you to eavesdrop.
[17:39] ---
    Do Kanon and the others know?
[17:42] ---
    --No.
    --Why haven't you told them?
[17:44] ---
    Because I don't want them to be
    school idols for my own sake.
[17:48] ---
    But we have to win, don't we?
    We need to win! So--
[17:52] ---
    And that's exactly why
    I want you to be the center!
[17:56] ---
    Why are you being so stubborn about this?
[17:58] ---
    It's not about being stubborn.
[18:00] ---
    But you are being stubborn.
[18:01] ---
    It's basically because it was Kanon's
    idea. You didn't want me to do this.
[18:04] ---
    Or that you have no choice
    since I'm practicing...
[18:07] ---
    Or that you pity me.
[18:10] ---
    You were watching
    me practice, weren't you?
[18:12] ---
    I know everything there is about you!
[18:16] ---
    You don't understand a thing.
[18:18] ---
    Do you really think I can
    let you be the center
[18:21] ---
    at my precious Love Live because of that?
[18:23] ---
    But you already did.
[18:26] ---
    I did that because I thought
    you were worthy of that position.
[18:32] ---
    Watching you practice. Hearing you sing...
[18:35] ---
    I thought you were worthy of
    being Liella!'s center.
[18:39] ---
    I know that you have what it takes.
[18:45] ---
    So just accept this already!
    Just like how I put everything
[18:50] ---
    into making this for you.
[18:56] ---
    That's...
[18:58] ---
    Sumire-chan...
[18:59] ---
    I made this for you.
[19:02] ---
    Because you're our center.
[19:17] ---
    Hey!
[19:20] ---
    Wait!
[19:25] ---
    Please reach!
[19:28] ---
    Please reach!
[19:35] ---
    Sumire-chan!
[19:38] ---
    Ow...
[19:40] ---
    Jeez...
[19:45] ---
    Sumire...
[19:50] ---
    That's the first time
    you actually said my name.
[19:52] ---
    That doesn't matter.
[19:55] ---
    Make sure you don't
    embarrass us as Liella!'s center.
[19:59] ---
    Of course. Who do you
    think you're talking to?
[20:03] ---
    Finally, the Yuigaoka school idols are
    going to stand on the stage at Love Live.
[20:08] ---
    I'm so excited.
[20:09] ---
    Yeah.
[20:10] ---
    We're actually connecting with
    a lot of other school idols...
[20:15] ---
    ...and our voices will resonate.
[20:16] ---
    Galaxy!
[20:37] ---
    Hey, but I want to smile more
[20:39] ---
    But I want to be more honest
[20:41] ---
    Hey, but I want to shine right now
[20:43] ---
    Let's stop those feelings right here
[20:45] ---
    Hey, let's stop complaining
[20:47] ---
    I'll shine down on you immediately
[20:50] ---
    Once I grab ahold of your hand
[20:52] ---
    I'll never let go of it
[20:54] ---
    I'll prove to you
[20:58] ---
    That nothing is impossible
[21:03] ---
    I'll crack that poker face of yours
[21:06] ---
    I'm going to make you mine
[21:12] ---
    Let's sing
[21:13] ---
    I'll take you to a world
    that you've never seen before
[21:17] ---
    You're about to see
    a fantastic wonderland
[21:21] ---
    Fantastic! Amazing!
    But this is nonfiction!!
[21:26] ---
    Let's open this new door
[21:29] ---
    Do Da Da Follow me
[21:31] ---
    Do Da Da Real Live Yeah!
[21:34] ---
    Do Da Da Follow me
[21:35] ---
    Do Da Da Love me do!
[21:38] ---
    Do Da Da Follow me
[21:39] ---
    Do Da Da Real Live Yeah!
[21:42] ---
    Do Da Da Follow me
[21:43] ---
    Do Da Da Love me do!
[22:03] ---
    Thanks, Keke.
[22:06] ---
    Sumire...
[22:09] ---
    Hey, what are you...
[22:15] ---
    The future is calling to us
[22:18] ---
    Like the wind
[22:21] ---
    No one knows what the future holds for us
[22:29] ---
    Even then, we want to move forward
[22:32] ---
    Because we don't want to have any regrets
[22:35] ---
    You can't hold down our hearts
[22:39] ---
    Let's all be free
[22:43] ---
    We're not going to give up!
[22:47] ---
    Because we decided that
[22:50] ---
    We'll cry, laugh, and do our best
[22:53] ---
    We all want to surpass our limits
[22:58] ---
    It's important to believe
[23:02] ---
    And once we told ourselves that
[23:05] ---
    Let's try to go even further
[23:12] ---
    We may be small, but we have big dreams
[23:20] ---
    We won't give in, now, let's fly together
[23:27] ---
    Let's fly the best we can,
    now, let's fly together
[23:37] ---
    Next time, "Once More, at That Place."

    Previously on Love Live! Superstar!!
[00:03] ---
    The school idol competition,
    the Love Live, has finally begun.
[00:07] ---
    We were given a theme for the regional
    prelims, which happened to be rap!
[00:10] ---
    Sumire Heanna is my name
[00:13] ---
    I'm an AB and being
    a shrine priestess is my game.
[00:16] ---
    We discovered Sumire-chan's new talent
    and decided to let her be the center.
[00:21] ---
    The center...
[00:22] ---
    Please reach!
[00:23] ---
    Sumire...
[00:24] ---
    That's the first time
    you actually said my name.
[00:26] ---
    Today's finally the day
    they announce the results!
[00:27] ---
    How will things end up for Liella!?
[00:31] ---
    "Once More, at That Place"
[00:35] ---
    Please, Lord...
[00:37] ---
    Well? Well, how did we do?!
[00:39] ---
    It's noon.
[00:40] ---
    The results should be up.
[00:42] ---
    Don't worry! We did our best!
[00:45] ---
    Okay, here we go.
[00:48] ---
    Eight groups will be getting through
    the regional prelims.
[00:51] ---
    Entry number 1, Sunny Passion.
[00:53] ---
    Of course.
[00:54] ---
    No surprise.
[00:56] ---
    And...
[00:58] ---
    Entry number 21, Neo Mutant Girls.
[01:01] ---
    Entry number 62, from Asakusa, Sky Lovely.
[01:04] ---
    Entry number 70,
    from Kagurazaka, Dash Gumi.
[01:08] ---
    Entry number...
[01:09] ---
    Come on!
[01:12] ---
    Huh?
[01:15] ---
    The computer froze!
[01:17] ---
    Oh, come on! Don't leave us hanging!
[01:20] ---
    Come on! Move! Work!
[01:22] ---
    Perhaps it's because so many people are
    trying to access the site at once.
[01:25] ---
    I'll try using my phone.
[01:30] ---
    Huh? A message from Sunny Passion?
[01:33] ---
    "Congratulations"
    "Let's both have
    wonderful performances!!"
[01:33] ---
    "Congratulations"...
[01:35] ---
    Does that mean...
[01:37] ---
    Oh, it's working again.
[01:42] ---
    We did it!
[01:45] ---
    You can't stop real dreams
[01:51] ---
    Our hearts are about to start running
[01:56] ---
    "Love Live! Superstar!!"
[02:13] ---
    Before we knew it,
    we found something that we loved
[02:17] ---
    Let these feelings reach you
[02:21] ---
    We've made up our minds, we're serious!
[02:24] ---
    I wonder what we can do
[02:26] ---
    The sky's so bright
[02:28] ---
    Let's look up at it
    and sing our hearts out
[02:34] ---
    Doesn't having something you want to do
[02:38] ---
    Make every day fun?
[02:41] ---
    Do you feel that way, too?
[02:46] ---
    Ah, we've been waiting for this moment
[02:48] ---
    This encounter is where we start
[02:51] ---
    Our dreams are drawn together,
    and it all begins
[02:56] ---
    We realized our true desires and now,
    we can't be stopped
[03:02] ---
    Our hearts are about to start running
[03:08] ---
    As fast as they can run
[03:14] ---
    "Congratulations for getting into
    the Tokyo tournament!!"
[03:15] ---
    Congratulations!
[03:17] ---
    We were all saying how we knew you'd
    make it through the regional prelims!
[03:21] ---
    Sumire-chan, you were so cool!
[03:23] ---
    Everyone who saw you
    up close became a fan!
[03:27] ---
    O-Of course! Who do you think I am?
[03:30] ---
    Says the giant isopod who was
    chickening out right until we got onstage.
[03:34] ---
    Shut up!
[03:35] ---
    All of you working so hard
    gave us strength, too!
[03:39] ---
    You're the hope of our school.
[03:42] ---
    If there's anything we can do
    to help you out, let us know!
[03:46] ---
    Thanks!
[03:47] ---
    This is an announcement for
    the members of the School Idol Club.
[03:51] ---
    The members of the School Idol Club
    are to come to my office after school.
[03:55] ---
    I repeat.
[03:57] ---
    The members of the School Idol Club
    are to come to my office after school.
[04:02] ---
    Are you getting an award?!
[04:04] ---
    Hopefully, but she sounded sorta mad.
[04:07] ---
    I wonder what's going on.
[04:12] ---
    It's all my fault.
[04:14] ---
    Ren-chan...
[04:15] ---
    You? What could you have possibly done?
[04:17] ---
    Well, the other day when I was in
    the club room, the computer was on, and...
[04:23] ---
    Honestly...
[04:25] ---
    "A Forbidden World"
[04:30] ---
    "A Forbidden World"
[04:33] ---
    "A Forbidden World"
[04:36] ---
    "A Forbidden World"
[04:40] ---
    Curiosity got the better of me
    and I clicked it...
[04:44] ---
    How could I have done such a thing?
    I'm the student council president.
[04:48] ---
    Oh, I fail. I'll be suspended.
    Kicked out of school.
[04:51] ---
    My life is now over...
[04:52] ---
    Yeah, I don't think anyone
    found that out...
[04:57] ---
    Yes?
[04:58] ---
    Please excuse us.
[05:00] ---
    Come in.
[05:02] ---
    What's wrong? Did you eat something bad?
[05:05] ---
    N-No. It's just...
[05:08] ---
    I'm so terribly sorry!
[05:10] ---
    I, Ren Hazuki, despite being
    the student council president,
[05:12] ---
    could not contain my curiosity and looked!
[05:14] ---
    What are you talking about?
[05:17] ---
    The reason I had you stop by
    is because I received this.
[05:20] ---
    It's from Shibuya-san and
    Arashi-san's grade school.
[05:23] ---
    They want you to sing there.
[05:25] ---
    Our grade school?
[05:28] ---
    Yes. They wanted you to sing
    as school idols for their students
[05:32] ---
    since you came from that school.
[05:35] ---
    Oh, I see...
[05:36] ---
    That's magnificent! Let us go immediately!
[05:39] ---
    So I can tell them "yes," then?
[05:43] ---
    --Oh, thank goodness...
[05:43] ---
    --Is something wrong?
    --Oh, thank goodness...
[05:45] ---
    Oh, no. It's a very lovely request.
[05:52] ---
    Everyone, keep your balance.
[05:55] ---
    Keke-san! You should be able
    to do this by now!
[05:59] ---
    Just ten more minutes!
[06:13] ---
    We're next, aren't we?
[06:17] ---
    Don't worry!
[06:18] ---
    Kanon-chan...
[06:19] ---
    Singing isn't scary. It's fun!
[06:22] ---
    We all practiced so hard
    because we love to sing, right?
[06:31] ---
    If we sing with those feelings,
    it'll get through to the audience.
[06:34] ---
    These fun feelings will get through
    to people all over the world!
[06:39] ---
    So let's sing! And have fun!
[06:44] ---
    Next up, we have the Aoyama Minami
    Elementary School choir.
[07:08] ---
    Kanon-chan!
[07:09] ---
    The song started!
[07:15] ---
    Well.
[07:16] ---
    I've got work, so...
[07:19] ---
    Okay. Do your best!
[07:21] ---
    Hey!
[07:22] ---
    Hey!
[07:24] ---
    That must be difficult,
    right after practice.
[07:26] ---
    But at least she seems to be having fun.
[07:29] ---
    "Are you free right now?"
[07:31] ---
    "Don't tell Kanon-chan"
[07:33] ---
    "Meet up at the takoyaki place"
[07:35] ---
    What's wrong?
[07:36] ---
    N-Nothing at all!
[07:39] ---
    Bye, now.
[07:41] ---
    Farewell!
[07:42] ---
    Goodbye!
[07:45] ---
    So what did you want to talk about?
[07:48] ---
    And you wanting to keep it a secret
    from Kanon is pretty unexpected.
[07:52] ---
    Yeah...
[07:54] ---
    This must be about your grade school.
[07:57] ---
    She fainted?
[07:58] ---
    Yeah. That was the first incident
    where Kanon-chan couldn't sing.
[08:03] ---
    I see. So you're worried that might
    happen again if she stands on that stage?
[08:08] ---
    I think she'll be okay, but...
[08:11] ---
    Yes! Kanon was able to
    sing on stage with me.
[08:15] ---
    She's been able to sing ever since!
[08:18] ---
    Actually, she's been rather
    proactive about singing.
[08:22] ---
    Yeah.
[08:23] ---
    I know that, but it's just...
[08:30] ---
    Kanon-chan can be
    really sensitive at times.
[08:38] ---
    But you know, if that's all it takes
    for her to not be able to sing,
[08:42] ---
    she probably won't be able to
    sing at the Love Live.
[08:45] ---
    I hate that I'm agreeing with you,
    but Sumire is right.
[08:49] ---
    Yeah.
[08:50] ---
    Then why don't we all
    go there together before?
[08:54] ---
    We can see how Kanon-san reacts.
[08:58] ---
    Go there before...
[09:01] ---
    Thank you so much for dropping by.
[09:04] ---
    Well, we live close by.
[09:06] ---
    School idols, was it? So many
    of our students love them.
[09:12] ---
    Really?
[09:13] ---
    That makes me so happy.
[09:16] ---
    This takes me back! This was the classroom
    Kanon-chan and I were in!
[09:20] ---
    The desks are so tiny.
[09:22] ---
    I guess we were this small
    in grade school.
[09:26] ---
    You would always dance here, Chi-chan.
[09:29] ---
    And you would always
    sing here, Kanon-chan.
[09:31] ---
    Did I?
[09:34] ---
    "Choral Competition"
    "Let's win this!!"
[09:37] ---
    Let's go.
[09:39] ---
    Yeah.
[09:40] ---
    You'll be singing onstage
    at this auditorium the day of.
[09:44] ---
    It's bigger than I thought...
[09:46] ---
    Of course, it is!
    All of the students will be here!
[09:52] ---
    Kanon-chan.
[09:54] ---
    Want to try standing on the stage?
[09:59] ---
    This is...
[10:17] ---
    Kanon-chan, try singing a little.
[10:20] ---
    It's just practice. We should do that
    even a little since we're here.
[10:26] ---
    Right...
[10:35] ---
    Sorry, give me a second.
[10:41] ---
    Kanon...
[10:45] ---
    Chi-chan.
[10:54] ---
    Everyone...
[11:13] ---
    Love Live! Superstar!!
[11:16] ---
    One, two, three, four...
[11:18] ---
    Sumire-chan, you're too fast.
[11:19] ---
    I know.
[11:20] ---
    Ren-chan, you're holding back too much.
[11:21] ---
    Understood.
[11:22] ---
    Okay!
[11:25] ---
    This choreography is pretty hard.
[11:28] ---
    We're going to be performing
    at the Tokyo tournament.
[11:30] ---
    I put my all into this choreography,
    so we won't be outdone.
[11:34] ---
    Do you think we'll win?
[11:35] ---
    I think we totally can, with all of us!
[11:39] ---
    There's trouble!
[11:41] ---
    Hey, we started practice already.
[11:43] ---
    The theme for the Tokyo tournament
    has been announced!
[11:46] ---
    Theme?
[11:48] ---
    The theme for
    the Tokyo tournament is this!
[11:50] ---
    Solos!
[11:50] ---
    "Tokyo Tournament Theme"
    "Vocal Solos"
[11:52] ---
    Make sure your song has a solo part!
[11:56] ---
    Another difficult assignment.
[11:58] ---
    Meaning pure vocal talent
    will be expected.
[12:01] ---
    Yeah.
[12:02] ---
    Stare...
[12:10] ---
    No one's going to argue here.
[12:13] ---
    What?
[12:14] ---
    I guess it'll be up to Kanon-san.
[12:16] ---
    I would've stepped in
    if it was a different assignment.
[12:20] ---
    But...
[12:22] ---
    The reason Liella! is here is because
    you sang back then, Kanon-chan.
[12:26] ---
    Because you responded
    to Keke-chan's feelings.
[12:29] ---
    Chi-chan...
[12:31] ---
    There's no one else.
[12:39] ---
    This is wonderful. Kanon was able to sing,
    and if the assignment is a solo,
[12:44] ---
    we can let her talent shine!
[12:46] ---
    Yeah...
[12:48] ---
    Is something wrong?
[12:53] ---
    What...
[12:55] ---
    I guess I put too much
    mochi in it. My bad.
[12:58] ---
    No problem. It's all the same
    when I eat it.
[13:01] ---
    Sorry.
[13:06] ---
    It tastes good, though!
[13:11] ---
    This isn't okay!
    We can't leave things like this.
[13:16] ---
    Because we were there?
[13:18] ---
    Yeah. I think Kanon-chan was able to sing
    because we were all there.
[13:24] ---
    Really?
[13:26] ---
    Did Kanon-chan say something to you
    when you two performed?
[13:30] ---
    I think, "I can sing...
    because I'm not alone!"
[13:35] ---
    I knew it.
[13:36] ---
    Then...
[13:37] ---
    All of our performances since then
    and the other day at the school, too.
[13:41] ---
    It's because we were all there.
[13:44] ---
    I think she was able to sing
    because she didn't feel alone.
[13:49] ---
    Is that a bad thing?
[13:52] ---
    I think it's lovely being able to sing
    because you have friends.
[13:56] ---
    I thought that, too. But...
[14:00] ---
    Does that mean she can really sing though?
[14:04] ---
    Maybe her anxiety really won't go away...
[14:10] ---
    This is a difficult situation.
[14:12] ---
    I mean, I get what you're saying...
    So now what?
[14:16] ---
    Yeah, we might get turned down, but...
[14:20] ---
    Director!
[14:22] ---
    This may sound like
    a slightly personal request...
[14:26] ---
    Huh? You do?
[14:28] ---
    Yeah, my family told me I have to be there
    no matter what that day.
[14:33] ---
    I see.
[14:34] ---
    I also have something very important
    that I must attend to.
[14:38] ---
    As do I...
[14:40] ---
    My family also insisted that
    I help out at the shrine that day.
[14:44] ---
    What? Wait, wait. Hang on!
[14:46] ---
    Then it's not going to be Liella! anymore.
    It's just going to be me?
[14:50] ---
    You've got a point.
[14:52] ---
    Yeah, so we contacted our grade school,
[14:55] ---
    and they were hoping you could
    still do it, Kanon-chan.
[14:59] ---
    Actually, the kids at the school
    really want to hear you sing.
[15:04] ---
    But...
[15:05] ---
    Is that a no?
[15:12] ---
    See you...
[15:13] ---
    If anything comes up, just call.
    I'll be there to support you.
[15:16] ---
    I will also be waiting around the clock!
[15:20] ---
    Thanks. I guess I'll go home and practice.
[15:24] ---
    Hey!
[15:27] ---
    This is mean.
    I feel really bad about this.
[15:31] ---
    Yeah.
[15:32] ---
    You've been friends
    since you were little, haven't you?
[15:34] ---
    You've definitely got a point, but yeah...
[15:38] ---
    You see.
[15:40] ---
    I thought I couldn't do anything
    when I was little.
[15:45] ---
    I thought I'd fail at everything
    and gave up.
[15:49] ---
    There's no way you can't do something
    before you even try!
[15:53] ---
    But...
[15:54] ---
    I'll do this with you,
    so let's do our best. Ready, and!
[16:03] ---
    Her smile... Her smile gives me life.
[16:06] ---
    I could relax and be confident. It's a
    smile that truly makes everyone happy.
[16:12] ---
    That's the kind of smile Kanon-chan has.
[16:17] ---
    So if we're able to
    get that Kanon-chan back...
[16:22] ---
    If Kanon-chan is able to
    regain those feelings
[16:27] ---
    after all the hardships
    and failures she faced...
[16:30] ---
    She'll be unstoppable.
[16:32] ---
    Chisato...
[16:33] ---
    I'm not just talking about the Love Live.
[16:35] ---
    We'd be able to be
    the best in the world... no.
[16:38] ---
    The best in the galaxy,
    just like Sumire-chan says.
[16:42] ---
    I... Chisato Arashi, believe in her.
    I believe in Kanon Shibuya!
[16:49] ---
    Aria.
[16:51] ---
    What was I like when I was little?
[16:55] ---
    Where'd that come from?
[16:57] ---
    I just wanted to know suddenly.
[17:02] ---
    You were super passionate,
    loud, and annoying.
[17:04] ---
    You were always telling people they can
    do things if they try or to do their best.
[17:07] ---
    What are you, some hyped-up sportscaster?
[17:10] ---
    Jeez, did you have to go that far?!
[17:12] ---
    But you know... I didn't hate it!
[17:21] ---
    We ended up coming after all.
[17:24] ---
    I was so worried
    that I couldn't sleep a wink.
[17:26] ---
    Hey! She'll see us!
[17:27] ---
    That hurts!
[17:28] ---
    --It does not!
    --Kanon-chan...
[17:34] ---
    I can't see! Move!
[17:36] ---
    Go over there!
[17:40] ---
    Kanon-chan...
[17:42] ---
    Chi-chan...
[17:44] ---
    What's wrong?
[17:46] ---
    Thanks.
[17:48] ---
    I was able to sing because
    I had all of you with me.
[17:51] ---
    I thought that was okay.
[17:53] ---
    But it's not.
[17:57] ---
    In order to support others
    or help them out,
[18:00] ---
    I need to do this on my own,
    just like you did, Chi-chan.
[18:06] ---
    Yeah... But you're not alone.
[18:10] ---
    The Kanon-chan from the past is with you.
[18:15] ---
    The Kanon-chan who wanted her song
    to be heard all around the world.
[18:21] ---
    I...
[18:24] ---
    Hey!
[18:28] ---
    Don't worry!
[18:29] ---
    Singing isn't scary. It's fun!
[18:32] ---
    Singing is so much fun!
[18:36] ---
    We all practiced so hard
    because we love to sing, right?
[18:42] ---
    So let's sing! And have fun!
[18:44] ---
    Yeah!
[18:51] ---
    I'm scared...
[18:53] ---
    I don't know why... but I'm scared.
[19:05] ---
    That's right. I was scared.
    Even back then.
[19:11] ---
    But even then, I...
[19:15] ---
    It's okay. You love to sing, right?
[19:52] ---
    I had always kept
    what I liked the most
[19:56] ---
    Preciously locked away
[20:00] ---
    How can I make it come true?
[20:05] ---
    I didn't know,
    so I couldn't move forward
[20:10] ---
    Then the opportunity had suddenly
[20:13] ---
    Presented itself in front of me
[20:17] ---
    Even though it wasn't
    exactly what I had imagined,
[20:21] ---
    I gently reached out
    with both of my hands
[20:26] ---
    It's that first,
    awkward step that you take
[20:30] ---
    That changes the world
    around you brilliantly
[20:34] ---
    What lies ahead? What can I do?
[20:38] ---
    I'll show some courage
    and move forward
[20:43] ---
    I'm not the small, little me
    that I was yesterday
[20:49] ---
    I started playing my dream
[20:53] ---
    Once the curtain rises,
    what lies beyond is
[20:58] ---
    The stage I always saw in my heart
[21:02] ---
    Even the things I thought
    I'd never be able to do
[21:06] ---
    See? They can come true
    if I take that first step
[21:10] ---
    I'm going to let this
    sparkling hope resonate
[21:15] ---
    Now spread to the ends of
    the earth, my symphony
[21:35] ---
    Kanon-chan...
[21:36] ---
    Hey, whoa!
[21:39] ---
    Kanon-chan!
[21:42] ---
    Chi-chan!
[21:52] ---
    I really think we have
    a chance of winning.
[21:56] ---
    We're going to win at the Love Live!
[21:58] ---
    Of course, we are!
[22:01] ---
    Because Liella! is the best.
[22:04] ---
    Nice to meet you all. We're Liella!
[22:10] ---
    Please listen to our song!
[22:15] ---
    The future is calling to us
[22:18] ---
    Like the wind
[22:21] ---
    No one knows what the future holds for us
[22:29] ---
    Even then, we want to move forward
[22:32] ---
    Because we don't want to have any regrets
[22:35] ---
    You can't hold down our hearts
[22:39] ---
    Let's all be free
[22:43] ---
    We're not going to give up!
[22:47] ---
    Because we decided that
[22:50] ---
    We'll cry, laugh, and do our best
[22:53] ---
    We all want to surpass our limits
[22:58] ---
    It's important to believe
[23:02] ---
    And once we told ourselves that
[23:05] ---
    Let's try to go even further
[23:12] ---
    We may be small, but we have big dreams
[23:20] ---
    We won't give in, now, let's fly together
[23:27] ---
    Let's fly the best we can,
    now, let's fly together
[23:37] ---
    Next time, "Song for All."

[00:01] ---
    You can't stop real dreams
[00:07] ---
    Our hearts are about to start running
[00:12] ---
    "Love Live! Superstar!!"
[00:29] ---
    Before we knew it,
    we found something that we loved
[00:33] ---
    Let these feelings reach you
[00:37] ---
    We've made up our minds, we're serious!
[00:40] ---
    I wonder what we can do
[00:42] ---
    The sky's so bright
[00:44] ---
    Let's look up at it
    and sing our hearts out
[00:50] ---
    Doesn't having something you want to do
[00:54] ---
    Make every day fun?
[00:56] ---
    Do you feel that way, too?
[01:02] ---
    Ah, we've been waiting for this moment
[01:04] ---
    This encounter is where we start
[01:07] ---
    Our dreams are drawn together,
    and it all begins
[01:12] ---
    We realized our true desires and now,
    we can't be stopped
[01:18] ---
    Our hearts are about to start running
[01:23] ---
    As fast as they can run
[01:31] ---
    One, two, three, four...
    Keke-chan, stop breathing so hard.
[01:34] ---
    Okay!
[01:35] ---
    Sumire-chan, your stopping point
    is just a smidge off.
[01:37] ---
    What?! No way.
[01:40] ---
    Okay, good work! That's it for today!
[01:44] ---
    Huh?
[01:45] ---
    You are way too intense!
[01:47] ---
    Whoopsies, was I too hardcore?
[01:50] ---
    I can't move my legs!
[01:53] ---
    I'm not done yet!
[01:55] ---
    We're looking good. This is great!
[01:59] ---
    Let's go for another run
    while we're at it!
[02:02] ---
    You are trying way too hard.
[02:05] ---
    Well, the Tokyo tournament is soon!
[02:09] ---
    I was just thinking how fun it is
    that we keep getting better
[02:12] ---
    the harder we try.
[02:17] ---
    Okay, let's go!
[02:18] ---
    Seriously?!
[02:19] ---
    The outer gardens again?
[02:20] ---
    Let's do about five sets.
[02:22] ---
    What?!
[02:23] ---
    --Give us a break!
    --Kanon-san has changed quite a bit.
[02:27] ---
    She seems more positive.
[02:29] ---
    Nah, that's not it.
[02:31] ---
    This is the real Kanon-chan.
[02:34] ---
    The one that I know.
[02:36] ---
    Sorry to interrupt. Hazuki-san,
    the director wants to see you.
[02:41] ---
    Ren-chan,
[02:43] ---
    were you looking up naughty things
    on the computer again?
[02:45] ---
    Absolutely not! Please forget
    about that incident!
[02:47] ---
    It's fine. To each their own, I say.
[02:50] ---
    And I'm saying it's not like that!
[02:52] ---
    Did we get another offer?
[02:55] ---
    I'm not sure.
[02:59] ---
    Look at this.
[03:03] ---
    Isn't it amazing?
    I couldn't believe it either.
[03:07] ---
    But it's all thanks to you girls.
[03:09] ---
    But...
[03:11] ---
    Oh, right. This is from your father.
[03:15] ---
    He said he'd like to donate the necessary
    funds that the school needs.
[03:18] ---
    Make sure you contact him.
[03:21] ---
    Father...
[03:25] ---
    The school got more applicants?
[03:27] ---
    Yes! With that number,
[03:29] ---
    we won't have to worry about
    having an insufficient amount.
[03:32] ---
    Yuigaoka will be able to
    stay open next year and on.
[03:34] ---
    That's great!
[03:36] ---
    I wonder if it's because we did so well
    at the regional prelims.
[03:38] ---
    My rapping must've
    reached everyone's hearts.
[03:42] ---
    Don't get a big head.
    It's because of all of us.
[03:45] ---
    But your rapping was really cool!
[03:48] ---
    Look at how many followers we have!
[03:51] ---
    "Following"
    "Followers"
[03:52] ---
    52,000?!
[03:54] ---
    Galaxy! Because of the song
    where I was the center...
[03:58] ---
    Because of my song where I was center...
[04:01] ---
    But it looks like a lot of people
    became interested in our school
[04:04] ---
    because of our performances.
[04:06] ---
    So the school really is getting
    more applicants because of Liella!
[04:10] ---
    Let's use this momentum
    and go straight for the win!
[04:14] ---
    Did they announce the details
    of the Tokyo tournament?
[04:17] ---
    They'll be announced tonight!
[04:19] ---
    It's finally time for
    the Love Live Tokyo tournament!
[04:22] ---
    And here's the date!
[04:24] ---
    Merry Christmas! Ho, ho, ho!
[04:27] ---
    This time, every group will be performing
    remotely from their school
[04:29] ---
    or associated areas
    and will be streaming live!
[04:31] ---
    We will be presenting that online
    in a relay format.
[04:33] ---
    We'll be battling it out
    in Tokyo on Christmas!
[04:36] ---
    The rules this time are pretty unique.
[04:38] ---
    We'll have to prepare
    our own stage ourselves.
[04:42] ---
    Where should we perform?
[04:44] ---
    If we want somewhere extravagant...
    The Jingu Stadium?
[04:47] ---
    That's where the finals will be held.
[04:49] ---
    Then Gaien Stadium?
[04:51] ---
    No way. Who would we even ask
    to let us use it?
[04:54] ---
    I'll go there in person tomorrow and ask!
[04:56] ---
    Let's not cause any trouble.
[04:58] ---
    It's the Tokyo tournament!
    Why are you so laid back?!
[05:02] ---
    I'm seriously thinking about this.
[05:04] ---
    This is the Tokyo tournament!
[05:06] ---
    I'm sure that each area will be
    performing from somewhere special!
[05:09] ---
    We'll be overshadowed easily
    with a mediocre stage!
[05:15] ---
    Congratulations!
[05:17] ---
    What the?!
[05:18] ---
    You got through the regional prelims?
[05:20] ---
    Jeez! You don't tell us anything!
[05:23] ---
    I didn't think you'd be interested at all.
[05:26] ---
    People at my middle school
    have been talking about you, too.
[05:29] ---
    You sang by yourself
    the other day, didn't you?
[05:32] ---
    That's wonderful!
[05:33] ---
    Thanks.
[05:36] ---
    A remote concert?
[05:38] ---
    Where are you making your stage?
[05:40] ---
    The Gaien Stadium?!
[05:42] ---
    That would be absolutely
    amazing if we could,
[05:45] ---
    but realistically, we're thinking
    about our gymnasium...
[05:50] ---
    This is the Tokyo tournament, right?
[05:52] ---
    Yeah...
[05:53] ---
    This can make or break
    your chance at the finals, right?
[05:55] ---
    Yeah...
[05:56] ---
    And you're choosing our gym?!
[05:58] ---
    You need to want more!
[05:59] ---
    Do you have any intention of winning?
[06:02] ---
    What should we do?
[06:04] ---
    That's why I said that idea's too plain.
[06:07] ---
    But everyone will be on winter break,
[06:09] ---
    so I thought it'd be rough
    if we performed outside.
[06:12] ---
    You're worrying too much.
[06:14] ---
    Liella! basically represents
    our school now.
[06:17] ---
    I think we can be a little selfish.
[06:19] ---
    I really envy you
    and that personality of yours.
[06:22] ---
    What's that supposed to mean?!
[06:24] ---
    Honestly, I'm just happy to be singing...
[06:30] ---
    They said no...
[06:32] ---
    Flop.
[06:33] ---
    Keke-chan?!
[06:34] ---
    Where did you go?
[06:35] ---
    I went to every possible
    live venue I could think of,
[06:39] ---
    but they all said that they
    weren't suited for school idols.
[06:44] ---
    Well, this whole area wasn't
    exactly known for school idols...
[06:49] ---
    We really need to decide soon though.
[06:51] ---
    Yeah, I'll head home
    and think it over tonight.
[06:56] ---
    I'm home.
[06:57] ---
    Welcome home.
[06:59] ---
    Mao-san! Yuuna-san!
[07:01] ---
    Pa!
[07:02] ---
    It's been a while.
[07:03] ---
    We're in town to buy stuff
    for the Tokyo tournament.
[07:06] ---
    So we came by to say hi!
[07:09] ---
    It looks like
[07:10] ---
    you've been practicing really hard
    since the tournament's coming up soon.
[07:13] ---
    Yes! And we got more applicants
    for our school, too.
[07:16] ---
    I'm having so much fun right now!
[07:18] ---
    Pa! And that's most important!
[07:20] ---
    Let's all do our best to
    put on our best performances.
[07:24] ---
    Right!
[07:25] ---
    But...
[07:27] ---
    We're the ones who are gonna win.
[07:29] ---
    We have no intention of losing to you.
[07:32] ---
    W-We're not going to lose either.
[07:37] ---
    I'm sorry! I didn't mean
    to sound so arrogant.
[07:42] ---
    Um...
[07:44] ---
    Meaning?
[07:45] ---
    Yes. Everyone keeps talking about winning
    or how we can go to the nationals then...
[07:51] ---
    But I don't know how to feel about winning
    or losing when it comes to singing.
[07:55] ---
    So you're saying
    you'd be fine if you lost to us?
[07:58] ---
    No! I definitely want to
    perform the best song!
[08:02] ---
    I want to practice hard with everyone
    and put on our best performance!
[08:07] ---
    But I'd been so nervous
    I wouldn't be able to sing for so long,
[08:11] ---
    so just the fact that I can express myself
    freely makes me so happy.
[08:17] ---
    I see.
[08:19] ---
    I get what you're saying. Singing might
    not exactly be about competing.
[08:23] ---
    You can even enjoy it alone.
[08:25] ---
    Right?
[08:27] ---
    Even then...
[08:28] ---
    We can become even better
    by butting heads.
[08:32] ---
    Because of the Love Live,
[08:35] ---
    the level of performances from
    school idols just keeps going up.
[08:39] ---
    I see...
[08:41] ---
    You don't like that?
[08:42] ---
    No! I'm just not mentally there yet.
[08:45] ---
    It's all right. Once you sing
    at the Love Live, you'll realize it.
[08:50] ---
    Why everyone wants to win...
    Or rather, why we have to win.
[09:04] ---
    --Why everyone wants to win...
    --Five, four, three, two, one...
[09:06] ---
    --Five, four, three, two, one...
[09:27] ---
    Why don't we go with stars
    for our theme this time?
[09:30] ---
    Stars?
[09:31] ---
    Yeah, that's what I thought up
    after seeing the city all lit up.
[09:34] ---
    I thought we could turn
    our gym into a starry sky.
[09:39] ---
    That'd be absolutely beautiful!
[09:40] ---
    The Yuigaoka stars.
[09:43] ---
    That's a great idea!
[09:44] ---
    But if that's the case,
    we need to get to work immediately.
[09:48] ---
    Hold up.
[09:50] ---
    Leave the stage to us.
    You girls concentrate on practicing.
[09:55] ---
    But...
[09:56] ---
    If you're not able to sing your best
    because you were busy preparing for this,
[09:59] ---
    we're the ones who'll regret it.
[10:01] ---
    We're all first years, so even if we
    enter competitions for other clubs,
[10:05] ---
    we don't really stand a chance.
[10:07] ---
    And yet, you girls have gotten this far.
[10:10] ---
    You girls are the hope of our school.
[10:13] ---
    So let us cheer you on.
[10:16] ---
    Everyone...
[10:17] ---
    That's so lovely! You're all so lovely!
[10:20] ---
    What are you crying for?
[10:23] ---
    Look who's talking!
[10:25] ---
    Okay, why don't we practice then?
[10:27] ---
    Yeah.
[10:30] ---
    Have fun!
[10:33] ---
    It's so cold!
[10:34] ---
    This is nothing compared to Shanghai.
[10:38] ---
    Chi-chan...
[10:39] ---
    Hm?
[10:41] ---
    I'm glad I went to this school.
[10:45] ---
    I never thought every day would be filled
    with so much excitement and wonder.
[10:50] ---
    Me neither!
[10:52] ---
    Agreed.
[10:56] ---
    "Headed towards the Tokyo tournament!!"
[11:01] ---
    Love Live! Superstar!!
[11:14] ---
    It's 6:20. We're performing tonight.
[11:19] ---
    I've got plenty of time to sleep...
[11:22] ---
    No! I need to wake up! It's so cold!
[11:29] ---
    The first snowfall!
[11:32] ---
    Why did it have to happen
    today of all days?
[11:35] ---
    No slacking, Sis!
[11:38] ---
    I know.
[11:38] ---
    Sumire!
[11:41] ---
    What are you doing here this early?
    We're performing tonight.
[11:47] ---
    I had nowhere else to go, so I came here.
[11:50] ---
    Please hold onto this just for a day.
[11:53] ---
    Isn't that your treasure?
[11:55] ---
    But just for today, we're rivals.
[11:58] ---
    Just for today, I'm going to
    stop being their fan.
[12:01] ---
    Here.
[12:03] ---
    I'm just going to give this to you.
    So that we can continue as a group.
[12:17] ---
    All set.
[12:23] ---
    It's a big circle.
[12:28] ---
    Here you are.
[12:30] ---
    Saya-san, I'm so happy
    I get to live with you again.
[12:33] ---
    Likewise.
[12:35] ---
    You've been working so hard to protect
    the school your mother established.
[12:38] ---
    I'm honored to be able to serve you again.
[12:44] ---
    Morning!
[12:45] ---
    Wow, you're up early.
[12:47] ---
    Can I take breakfast with me to school?
[12:49] ---
    Of course.
[12:50] ---
    Sis!
[12:52] ---
    You forgot your headphones.
[12:56] ---
    I don't need them anymore!
[13:01] ---
    I wonder how the stage is coming along.
[13:03] ---
    I'm not sure.
[13:04] ---
    I can't wait to see it!
[13:05] ---
    No one knows what's going on?
[13:08] ---
    They wanted to surprise us,
    so they asked us to wait until tonight.
[13:10] ---
    They said they'd come get us
    when it's done.
[13:12] ---
    Maybe we should help them out.
[13:14] ---
    Agreed.
[13:15] ---
    Well, considering this snow,
    let's think of our health first,
[13:18] ---
    and wrap practice up early.
[13:20] ---
    Then let's just go through
    our choreography once
[13:23] ---
    and then go help them out.
[13:24] ---
    That's a good idea.
[13:34] ---
    Huh?
[13:36] ---
    Wait...
[13:37] ---
    What?!
[13:40] ---
    There's no stage!
[13:43] ---
    This is awful. This is the worst.
    How could this happen?
[13:46] ---
    Kanon-chan!
[13:49] ---
    This is just too cruel.
[13:51] ---
    No! We've almost got
    the perfect stage done.
[13:54] ---
    At a place much better than this.
[14:18] ---
    This is...
[14:19] ---
    If you keep going down this path...
[14:22] ---
    Your stage is up ahead.
[14:24] ---
    The best stage that everyone
    at Yuigaoka could've prepared.
[14:34] ---
    You've got this, Liella!
[14:36] ---
    Ren-chan!
[14:37] ---
    Chisato-chan!
[14:39] ---
    Sumire-chan!
[14:40] ---
    Keke-chan!
[14:42] ---
    Kanon-chan!
[14:44] ---
    You've got this!
[14:50] ---
    Go!
[14:51] ---
    Fight!
[14:54] ---
    No need to hurry!
[14:55] ---
    Watch your step!
[15:04] ---
    She's so scary!
[15:05] ---
    Please wait!
[15:09] ---
    It's almost time!
[15:12] ---
    It's shining.
[15:12] ---
    I can almost see it!
[15:31] ---
    Wow...
[15:33] ---
    Everyone at school
    decided to ask the town...
[15:36] ---
    And they said we could use this area
    freely for the time being.
[15:40] ---
    We can sing here?
[15:42] ---
    Yup. People around town helped out, too.
[15:45] ---
    This is a stage that
    only we could've created.
[15:49] ---
    Now, show us. Show us the best
    performance Liella! can put on.
[15:57] ---
    Right!
[16:06] ---
    It's nice to meet you, everyone!
[16:08] ---
    We're the school idols from
    Yuigaoka Girls' High School.
[16:12] ---
    We're Liella!
[16:15] ---
    Standing on this stage right now
    and seeing this scenery,
[16:19] ---
    I can say this proudly...
[16:21] ---
    I'm so glad to be a student at Yuigaoka.
[16:25] ---
    That our school is the best!
[16:29] ---
    Please listen to our song!
[16:39] ---
    I feel a tiny flickering
    deep inside my heart again
[16:45] ---
    My aspirations run wild,
    wanting me to make them come true
[16:51] ---
    We rushed out and we can do anything
[16:56] ---
    Because of all of this courage
    we gained from our encounter
[17:02] ---
    It started with you
[17:05] ---
    But next time I will
[17:08] ---
    Create a clear and bright future
[17:13] ---
    We'll keep on running forever
[17:18] ---
    Looking for Light
[17:19] ---
    Our story is just beginning
[17:25] ---
    It can create any kind of miracle
[17:29] ---
    Sparkly dreams scatter
    and fall across the sky
[17:35] ---
    Let's gather up each and every one
[17:40] ---
    And make them all come true
[17:55] ---
    Whenever you feel like
    your faith wavers
[18:01] ---
    Let's express our feelings
    by putting them into a song
[18:07] ---
    I'm going to save my tears
    for my happiest days
[18:12] ---
    That's what I decided
[18:20] ---
    Looking for Light
[18:21] ---
    Our story is just beginning
[18:27] ---
    It can create any kind of miracle
[18:32] ---
    Sparkly dreams scatter
    and fall across the sky
[18:38] ---
    Let's gather up each and every one
[18:42] ---
    And make them all come true
[18:46] ---
    I'm going to create
[18:49] ---
    This glimmer with you forever
[19:31] ---
    Congratulations! The group who will be
    representing Tokyo at the nationals is
[19:37] ---
    Sunny Passion!
[19:42] ---
    Ugh! What the heck!
    No, really! What the heck?
[19:50] ---
    Kanon-chan.
[19:53] ---
    We didn't make it. I'm sorry.
[19:55] ---
    No... Thank you. That was
    the best performance ever.
[19:59] ---
    I was so proud and moved!
[20:03] ---
    Sorry we couldn't help you win.
[20:07] ---
    Hey, we have to get this cleaned up.
[20:10] ---
    Right...
[20:11] ---
    We have to thank everyone in town, too.
[20:17] ---
    Kanon-san, let's go.
[20:19] ---
    We should go clean up.
[20:22] ---
    Right... So that's what they meant.
[20:26] ---
    Kanon-chan?
[20:28] ---
    Chi-chan.
[20:31] ---
    This... sucks.
[20:35] ---
    Everyone did so much to help us out,
    and we couldn't do anything in return.
[20:41] ---
    Everyone did so much to help us out...
[20:44] ---
    ...and it's all over without
    being able to repay them!
[20:48] ---
    Kanon...
[20:49] ---
    We can all try again and give it our all.
[20:51] ---
    Yes.
[20:54] ---
    I want to win.
[20:58] ---
    I really want to win!
[21:01] ---
    I want to win and
    make everyone here smile.
[21:04] ---
    I want to happily say,
    "We did it!" with everyone!
[21:07] ---
    With our song. With Liella!'s song...
[21:11] ---
    With Yuigaoka's song...
    That's how I want to win.
[21:14] ---
    No...
[21:18] ---
    We're going to win!
[21:21] ---
    Of course, we are.
[21:23] ---
    Liella!'s not going to stop here.
[21:26] ---
    I knew that from the start.
[21:29] ---
    Yuigaoka is the best school!
[21:35] ---
    Yuigaoka Girls' High School's
    school idols, Liella!
[21:39] ---
    We're going to make sure
    even more people hear our songs!
[21:44] ---
    Song for me! Song for you!
[21:47] ---
    Song for all!
[21:54] ---
    Okay, let's start practice.
[21:56] ---
    Yes.
[21:57] ---
    Think you can keep up with me?
[21:59] ---
    As if, Giant Isopod.
[22:01] ---
    Oh, shut it!
[22:11] ---
    "We can do it!
    Love Live! victory!!"
[22:14] ---
    Okay, here we go!
[22:15] ---
    "victory!!"
[22:17] ---
    Yeah!
[22:19] ---
    
[22:20] ---
    The future is calling to us
[22:21] ---
    
[22:23] ---
    
[22:23] ---
    Like the wind
[22:25] ---
    
[22:26] ---
    No one knows what the future holds for us
[22:34] ---
    Even then, we want to move forward
[22:37] ---
    Because we don't want to have any regrets
[22:40] ---
    You can't hold down our hearts
[22:44] ---
    Let's all be free
[22:48] ---
    We're not going to give up!
[22:52] ---
    Because we decided that
[22:55] ---
    We'll cry, laugh, and do our best
[22:58] ---
    We all want to surpass our limits
[23:03] ---
    It's important to believe
[23:07] ---
    And once we told ourselves that
[23:10] ---
    Let's try to go even further
[23:17] ---
    We may be small, but we have big dreams
[23:25] ---
    We won't give in, now, let's fly together
[23:32] ---**
    Let's fly the best we can,
    now, let's fly together

[00:01] ---
    Previously on Love Live! Superstar!!
[00:04] ---
    I'm Kanon Shibuya! I love to sing,
    but couldn't sing in front of others...
[00:09] ---
    I asked the sad Kanon to
    become a school idol with me,
[00:11] ---
    and we got our start!
[00:12] ---
    Our goal is to win at the school idol
    competition, the Love Live!
[00:16] ---
    One by one, we gained more members,
[00:18] ---
    and finally, we competed in
    the Tokyo Tournament.
[00:20] ---
    But we came in second. That's why we...
[00:24] ---
    We're going to make sure
    even more people hear our songs!
[00:28] ---
    ...are striving to win!
[00:34] ---
    You sure are keeping at it.
[00:37] ---
    The entrance ceremony's
    tomorrow, isn't it?
[00:38] ---
    I don't have any time to rest!
[00:41] ---
    --Huh?
    --Thanks for the food!
[00:43] ---
    Manmaru!
[00:46] ---
    I'll see you later.
[01:05] ---
    Why the heck is Tokyo so hot?
    I'm gonna melt...
[01:11] ---
    But! This is the ever-famous Harajuku...
[01:14] ---
    Hills people!
[01:16] ---
    Where in the world... is my house?
[01:22] ---
    We're now going to fight
[01:24] ---
    Let's create our own wind
[01:28] ---
    We're going to climb
[01:30] ---
    We're never going to lose,
    we're going to win!
[01:35] ---
    More, more, more!!
[01:44] ---
    Let's always surpass
[01:46] ---
    Who we were yesterday
[01:50] ---
    Even if we don't know
[01:52] ---
    Just how much we can do,
    we're always fired up
[01:55] ---
    I want to smile together with you
[01:57] ---
    I want to know about worlds
    I've yet to discover
[02:00] ---
    I'm going to become stronger
[02:03] ---
    I don't wanna give up
[02:06] ---
    Are you ready? Let's start up right now!
[02:11] ---
    We're going to aim for the top
[02:14] ---
    More than now, more than ever
[02:17] ---
    Our hearts are pounding
[02:21] ---
    Let's make it come true!
[02:22] ---
    Right at this moment, as much as we can
[02:25] ---
    We're dreaming,
    because that's all we can do
[02:28] ---
    We met, so this wish gives us passion
[02:33] ---
    We can go
[02:36] ---
    Let's make the impossible happen
[02:41] ---
    We're going to continue believing,
    so WE WILL!
[03:00] ---
    We're not done yet!
[03:02] ---
    Nope, nope, nope!
[03:06] ---
    Look, everyone!
[03:06] ---
    "Following"
    "Followers"
[03:08] ---
    Our followers doubled!
[03:11] ---
    What?!
[03:12] ---
    Some sites are even saying that
    Liella! will win next time.
[03:16] ---
    But of course.
[03:18] ---
    No! That's just because the winners,
    Sunny Pas, happened to...
[03:23] ---
    First,
[03:24] ---
    we would like to show our respect
    and thanks to all of the school idols
[03:27] ---
    who participated in this competition,
    and all of the fans who supported us.
[03:31] ---
    Who was our strongest competitor?
[03:34] ---
    All of the groups were amazing.
[03:36] ---
    But the group that
    moved our hearts the most...
[03:41] ---
    ...is Liella!
[03:42] ---
    Oh, praise be!
[03:45] ---
    But...
[03:46] ---
    We haven't done anything notable
    in the actual competition.
[03:51] ---
    There's no point if just
    our name gets famous.
[03:54] ---
    That's why we're definitely
    going to get results next time.
[03:58] ---
    And...
[04:00] ---
    I want to celebrate with
    everyone at our school.
[04:03] ---
    Yes!
[04:04] ---
    Of course, we will!
[04:10] ---
    Where...
[04:12] ---
    Where...
[04:15] ---
    Where in the world...
[04:17] ---
    ...am I?!
[04:21] ---
    I'm so exhausted!
[04:22] ---
    I-I need to get to my house...
[04:30] ---
    What a lovely shrine...
[04:34] ---
    Hey.
[04:36] ---
    Whatever happened with
    you going back to Shanghai?
[04:40] ---
    That doesn't concern you.
[04:42] ---
    It's not like I care or anything...
[04:45] ---
    But if you're actually going to go back...
[04:48] ---
    The great Sunny Passion
    acknowledged our existence,
[04:50] ---
    so I've got some leeway
    until the next competition.
[04:54] ---
    But that means we really have to win--
[04:56] ---
    This doesn't concern you, Sumire.
[04:59] ---
    --But--
    --Keep this a secret
    from Kanon and the others.
[05:02] ---
    If you tell them, I'm going to
    cut off all of your curls!
[05:09] ---
    Dang it!
[05:16] ---
    Wait...
[05:20] ---
    I knew it! This is the high school
    I'm gonna be going to!
[05:28] ---
    What a lovely school...
[05:34] ---
    It's sho amazing...
[05:36] ---
    On that roof right now...
    Liella! is... Liella! is...
[05:42] ---
    Liella!?
[05:45] ---
    The hell're you looking at?!
[05:47] ---
    Sorry!
[05:48] ---
    Hmph!
[05:52] ---
    One, two, three, four,
    five, six, seven, eight.
[05:57] ---
    --One, two, three, four,
    five, six, seven, eight.
[05:57] ---
    --I probably shouldn't go in
    without permission, huh?
    --One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
[06:01] ---
    --But at this rate...
    --One, two, three, four,
    five, six, seven, eight.
[06:04] ---
    --One, two, three, four,
    five, six, seven, eight.
[06:06] ---
    Okay, now, I'm going to
    look at our formation.
[06:09] ---
    Kanon-chan, stand at the zero stance.
[06:11] ---
    Sumire-chan, the two stance.
[06:13] ---
    Got it.
[06:14] ---
    Okay, from the top!
[06:17] ---
    One, two, three, four,
    five, six, seven, eight.
[06:22] ---
    One, two, three...
[06:23] ---
    Hngh!
[06:28] ---
    Oh, shoot.
[06:30] ---
    Who are you?
[06:31] ---
    Um...
[06:32] ---
    Are you a new student?!
[06:34] ---
    Huh?! U-Um...
[06:37] ---
    Yes.
[06:39] ---
    An underclassman! That makes her
    an underclassman, right?
[06:41] ---
    She's so cute!
[06:44] ---
    My name is Keke Tang!
[06:46] ---
    Now, hang on.
    Why are you talking to her first?
[06:49] ---
    As the student council president,
    allow me!
[06:52] ---
    Wait, are you interested in
    joining the School Idol Club?
[06:56] ---
    School idol?!
[06:58] ---
    Well, you're a new student, right?
[07:00] ---
    The School Idol Club is a proper club!
[07:03] ---
    She's...
[07:05] ---
    Huh?!
[07:05] ---
    Thank you so much!
[07:07] ---
    We've been waiting for this day!
[07:09] ---
    Let us chase the light together...
[07:11] ---
    Huh? Wha?!
[07:13] ---
    Oh, just be honest already!
[07:15] ---
    Welcome to Liella!
[07:17] ---
    No! You've got the wrong idea!
[07:21] ---
    --You got lost?
    --Yes.
[07:24] ---
    Sorry that we got the wrong idea.
[07:26] ---
    It's okay...
[07:27] ---
    Is this your first time in Tokyo?
[07:30] ---
    Huh?! Of course not!
[07:32] ---
    Tokyo's like my yard! My backyard even!
[07:34] ---
    I did plenty of research!
[07:37] ---
    Oh! You're them Hills people, right?
[07:40] ---
    Hills people, Hills people...
[07:44] ---
    We should definitely take her
    to her destination.
[07:47] ---
    I'll go. Do you know the address?
[07:50] ---
    Yes.
[07:54] ---
    Wow...
[07:56] ---
    It's so pretty.
[07:58] ---
    So where did you come from?
[08:00] ---
    Kinako's from the boonies
    deep in Hokkaido.
[08:05] ---
    When I left home,
    it was still covered in snow.
[08:08] ---
    I see. But that's lovely, too.
[08:11] ---
    Oh, so your name's Kinako-chan.
[08:14] ---
    Yup! My name's Kinako Sakurakoji!
[08:17] ---
    I came here because I always
    dreamed of the big city!
[08:20] ---
    I'm Kanon. Kanon Shibuya.
[08:24] ---
    It's a pleasure to meet you, Kanon-senpai!
[08:29] ---
    Kanon... senpai?
[08:32] ---
    Yes, Senpai!
[08:34] ---
    I see... I get to be called that now.
[08:38] ---
    --Yup!
    --I see...
[08:40] ---
    What? Senpai? Me?
[08:44] ---
    --Yup!
    --What?
[08:46] ---
    You're my senpai!
[08:47] ---
    What?
[08:49] ---
    Um...
[08:50] ---
    --One more time.
    --I'm sorry?
[08:52] ---
    Could you call me that again?
[08:55] ---
    Kanon-senpai!
[08:58] ---
    I can't get used to it,
    but it just sounds so nice!
[09:03] ---
    All right, let's go!
    I'll show you my place, too!
[09:06] ---
    Let's go!
[09:09] ---
    She sure is strange.
[09:12] ---
    Thanks for waiting.
[09:14] ---
    Oh, this is so fancy!
[09:20] ---
    So this is Tokyo...
[09:21] ---
    Is this one of the new students?
[09:23] ---
    I'm a senpai!
[09:26] ---
    Uh...
[09:28] ---
    I'll see you to your place
    once you're done drinking that.
[09:30] ---
    You've been so kind...
[09:32] ---
    Oh, it's fine.
[09:33] ---
    Um...
[09:35] ---
    What's that school something or other
    you mentioned earlier?
[09:40] ---
    School idols.
[09:42] ---
    School idols...
[09:43] ---
    Yeah. It's a lot of fun and so worth it!
[09:47] ---
    Though I've only been one
    for a year myself...
[09:53] ---
    But my life changed after
    encountering school idols.
[09:58] ---
    It made me more positive and motivated!
[10:03] ---
    If you're interested at all,
    come by the club room.
[10:06] ---
    Looking for Light
[10:07] ---
    Our story is just beginning
[10:13] ---
    It can create any kind of miracle
[10:17] ---
    Were you able to see her home all right?
[10:17] ---
    Sparkly dreams--
[10:19] ---
    Yup. She lives pretty close to me.
[10:22] ---
    Is Liella! going to be
    a six-member group now?
[10:24] ---
    You're jumping the gun.
[10:26] ---
    But what a strange feeling...
[10:29] ---
    Because I thought it'd be the five of us
    who'd try to win next time.
[10:34] ---
    Likewise. After the competition,
[10:37] ---
    I was hoping the five of us
    could strive to win next time.
[10:40] ---
    Does that mean you don't want
    any first-years joining us?
[10:44] ---
    Oh, no!
[10:45] ---
    The more I talked to Kinako-chan,
    the more I realized
[10:48] ---
    I wanted to try harder
    with the new students.
[10:51] ---
    Yes. That's how one thread
    becomes connected to another.
[10:57] ---
    I believe that was what
    my mother wanted, as well.
[11:02] ---
    Then let's do our best again tomorrow
    so we can work to find new friends!
[11:07] ---
    Yeah!
[11:16] ---
    Me? An idol?
[11:21] ---
    Love Live! Superstar!!
[11:25] ---
    Okay! I'm all done!
[11:26] ---
    "Our 2nd Entrance Ceremony!!"
[11:28] ---
    Did you have to make something
    so stupidly huge?!
[11:31] ---
    This is to show people we're not
    letting other schools beat us!
[11:33] ---
    Excuse me...
[11:35] ---
    You're Sumire-san, right?
[11:37] ---
    Yes...
[11:37] ---
    I'm your fan! Could I get your autograph?
[11:41] ---
    May I get a picture with you?
[11:42] ---
    Could you sign this?
[11:44] ---
    I'll be cheering you on!
[11:45] ---
    Th-Thank you...
[11:47] ---
    Congratulations getting into our school.
[11:49] ---
    So many of the new students are our fans.
[11:52] ---
    I'm very surprised.
[11:54] ---
    Oninattsu!
[11:57] ---
    I'm here to make sure
    your heart gets its fill of oni!
[11:59] ---
    I'm Natsumi Onizuka!
    And would you believe it?!
[12:03] ---
    I've finally decided I'm
    gonna go to high school!
[12:07] ---
    Here's a look at my private life!
[12:11] ---
    Can I help you?
[12:12] ---
    No... Um, are you an L-Tuber?
[12:15] ---
    You're like a celebrity!
[12:17] ---
    Gosh, I'm really in the big city!
[12:19] ---
    I guess?
[12:20] ---
    Anyway! Make sure you
    subscribe to my channel!
[12:24] ---
    Today's video will be going up tomorrow.
[12:26] ---
    I'm currently doing
    a live stream every Sunday.
[12:29] ---
    I'll take any kind of tips or gifts.
[12:32] ---
    Bye now.
[12:34] ---
    "Oninattsu Inc. CEO"
[12:35] ---
    CEO?
[12:39] ---
    Shiki.
[12:40] ---
    Good morning, Mei.
[12:41] ---
    What are you doing there?
[12:43] ---
    I was randomly and fairly
    placed within this seat.
[12:47] ---
    Meaning this was a coincidence.
[12:48] ---
    Damn it. It's middle school
    all over again.
[12:51] ---
    "Yuigaoka Girls' High School Idols
    Liella! proceeds to the Tokyo Tournament!!"
[12:55] ---
    Eyebrows!
[12:57] ---
    Chi-chan!
[12:58] ---
    Jeez, you look scary.
[13:00] ---
    No way!
[13:03] ---
    Don't stress about it too much.
[13:05] ---
    We just need to win next time.
    Let's keep things positive!
[13:12] ---
    Yuigaoka just opened last year,
[13:15] ---
    but I would like to build this school's
    legacy together with all of you.
[13:19] ---
    Let's make it a wonderful school.
[13:25] ---
    What a magnificent seating arrangement!
[13:28] ---
    Keke-chan's behind Kanon-chan.
[13:30] ---
    This is the best.
[13:31] ---
    It's just a seating arrangement,
    you child.
[13:35] ---
    Now that the general curriculum
    has three classes,
[13:37] ---
    we're making the music program's facilities
    available to everyone else as well.
[13:42] ---
    There're going to be
    more clubs, too, right?
[13:44] ---
    Yes. I'm hoping we will be able
    to see all kinds of activities.
[13:48] ---
    But we still have a long way to go
    compared to other schools.
[13:52] ---
    Apparently, everyone is having
    a hard time finding new members.
[13:58] ---
    Well? Anyone look promising?
[14:00] ---
    They're all better than you, Sumire.
    They're all from the music program.
[14:04] ---
    Them being in the music program doesn't
    automatically make them better than me!
[14:07] ---
    I was in show business and--
[14:10] ---
    Giant isopod.
[14:11] ---
    Shut up!
[14:13] ---
    --That's dangerous!
    --You're the one who made me mad!
[14:14] ---
    --Aren't they from Liella!?
    --That's dangerous!
    --You're the one who made me mad!
[14:15] ---
    --Aren't they from Liella!?
    --Let go! Let go of me!
    --Why you--
[14:16] ---
    --Yeah...
    --Let go! Let go of me!
    --Why you--
[14:21] ---
    "School"
[14:22] ---
    School...
[14:23] ---
    --...idols.
    --Whoa!
[14:25] ---
    This is the club that Kanon-senpai
    and the others belong to, right?
[14:28] ---
    You actually know Shibuya-san?!
[14:30] ---
    Yup! She even walked me home
    and invited me into the School Idol Club.
[14:35] ---
    She invited you to be a school idol?!
[14:38] ---
    --What?!
    --No way!
[14:39] ---
    Amazing...
[14:44] ---
    "Yuigaoka Girls' High School Idol Club"
    "Let's be School Idols"
[14:45] ---
    No one's... coming.
[14:47] ---
    Huh? Wha-- Why?! Why, though?!
[14:50] ---
    It's because Sumire made a fuss
    at the music program's building.
[14:52] ---
    What?! So did you!
[14:55] ---
    Now, now. It's too early to be depressed.
[14:58] ---
    But apparently, the other clubs
    have started gaining new students...
[15:02] ---
    How strange.
[15:05] ---
    There's no point in
    thinking about it here.
[15:08] ---
    Let's pull ourselves together!
[15:09] ---
    Excuse me, new students who
    just happen to be passing by!
[15:10] ---
    "Let's be School Idols"
[15:12] ---
    --Huh?
    --Do you have any interest
    in school idols?!
[15:13] ---
    --Do you have any interest
    in school idols?!
[15:15] ---
    Please excuse us!
[15:17] ---
    So Sumire really is the problem.
[15:19] ---
    How though?
[15:21] ---
    Anyway, we must continue to act!
[15:26] ---
    There we go!
[15:28] ---
    How in the world do you
    keep making these things?
[15:31] ---
    Now the new students
    will definitely notice us!
[15:35] ---
    We'll get plenty of people
    to come by tomorrow!
[15:40] ---
    I hope so...
[15:43] ---
    Zero...
[15:45] ---
    So Sumire is the issue after all...
[15:47] ---
    Again, how?!
[15:48] ---
    This truly is bizarre...
[15:51] ---
    I wonder if there's some weird rumor
    going around with the first-years.
[15:55] ---
    Girls! We figured it out.
[15:57] ---
    We figured out why no first-years
    are coming to see you girls.
[16:00] ---
    We just talked to some first-years,
    and they finally told us.
[16:04] ---
    They've got the best chance at winnin'?
[16:06] ---
    You enrolled into this school
    and you didn't even know that?
[16:09] ---
    People are saying they're definitely gonna
    make the Love Live finals this year.
[16:14] ---
    Liella! is what hope
    looks like at Yuigaoka.
[16:16] ---
    They're stars.
[16:18] ---
    The current members of Liella!...
[16:20] ---
    Kanon-chan, even if you were
    to join the music program,
[16:23] ---
    you'd probably be considered
    one of the best singers, right?
[16:26] ---
    Ren-chan's the student council
    president who's been
[16:28] ---
    figure skating and
    playing piano since she was little.
[16:31] ---
    Chisato-chan's such a talented dancer
    that she's won at an actual competition.
[16:35] ---
    Then there's Sumire-chan
    who was already in show business.
[16:39] ---
    And Keke-chan, who loves
    school idols more than anyone else
[16:42] ---
    and is also able to make costumes.
[16:44] ---
    They're all that amazing?
[16:48] ---
    That's why all of the first-years
    are pretty convinced
[16:50] ---
    that we wouldn't be able to
    keep up with their training.
[16:54] ---
    Not that I know anything about it.
[17:02] ---
    So our level seems too high... huh.
[17:04] ---
    But trying to recruit people
    by telling them
[17:07] ---
    the training's not that hard
    is also a bit...
[17:10] ---
    We are trying to win, after all.
[17:12] ---
    But then, new members...
[17:16] ---
    Wanna just do our best
    with the five of us?
[17:19] ---
    Huh?
[17:19] ---
    So we're not going to seek new members?
[17:22] ---
    It'll be lonely, but if we're
    out to win the Love Live,
[17:26] ---
    we should consider that, too.
[17:28] ---
    But then, aren't we just
    being self-complacent?
[17:32] ---
    I'm pretty sure I was told that
    school idols aren't like that.
[17:45] ---
    They're practicing on
    that roof as we speak!
[17:57] ---
    I won't be able to keep up
    with their training... huh.
[18:02] ---
    Well, why don't you show them?
[18:04] ---
    Huh?
[18:05] ---
    At first, I couldn't figure out why
    you were so obsessed with school idols.
[18:11] ---
    But seeing you girls perform live
    really moved me.
[18:15] ---
    Maybe it's hard to
    express them into words...
[18:19] ---
    School idols, I mean.
[18:26] ---
    Hard to express into words...
[18:29] ---
    Maybe we should show people
    footage of our performances...
[18:54] ---
    Kinako-chan!
[18:55] ---
    Huh? Kanon-senpai!
[18:57] ---
    Sorry for startling you.
[18:59] ---
    So you're training at night, too, huh?
    You really are amazing.
[19:03] ---
    Say, Kinako-chan.
[19:06] ---
    This might be overwhelming
    because we're all older than you,
[19:11] ---
    but I'd love to be a school idol with you!
[19:15] ---
    At first, I couldn't do anything either.
[19:18] ---
    But I managed to grow this much because
    I had the other girls by my side.
[19:24] ---
    So...
[19:25] ---
    It'd make me really happy if I could
    pursue what the future holds with you!
[19:31] ---
    This weekend, we're going to be rehearsing
    our next performance up on the roof.
[19:35] ---
    We'll be waiting for you.
[19:37] ---
    See you.
SIGN    "School Idol Club" "We're practicing up on the roof!! Please check us out if you're interested!!"
[19:46] ---
    You should try being a school idol.
SIGN    "School Idol Club" "We're practicing up on the roof!! Please check us out if you're interested!!"
[19:48] ---
    No, I could never.
[19:50] ---
    Oninattsu!
[19:51] ---
    I'm here to make sure
    your heart gets its fill of oni!
[19:53] ---
    I'm Natsumi Onizuka!
[19:57] ---
    Hey! You distracted me!
    Now I need to redo it! A retake!
[20:03] ---
    I'm sorry!
[20:05] ---
    You seem down.
[20:08] ---
    CEO...
[20:09] ---
    You can call me Natsumi.
[20:11] ---
    If you're interested in something
    but don't think you're cut out for it,
[20:15] ---
    what would you do, CEO--
[20:16] ---
    I told you to call me Natsumi.
[20:18] ---
    Listen carefully.
[20:20] ---
    No matter how hard you try,
    if you're not cut out for something,
[20:22] ---
    it's just not meant to be.
[20:24] ---
    But if you haven't tried it, you'll never
    know if you're cut out for it or not.
[20:31] ---
    Be true to yourself.
[20:35] ---
    What?!
[20:36] ---
    The nerves sensors around
    your ankles have been blocked.
[20:38] ---
    First stage of synchronization
    is complete.
[20:40] ---
    Ugh! I've already lost out on
    five minutes! Time is money!
[20:47] ---
    Wakana-san?!
SIGN    "School Idol Club" "We're practicing up on the roof!! Please check us out if you're interested!!"
[20:56] ---
    --Wakana-san?!
[20:57] ---
    --You've got this.
    --Wakana-san?!
[20:58] ---
    I can't stop!
[21:06] ---
    I'm gonna die!
[21:14] ---
    I want you to see
    our performance, Kinako-chan.
[21:19] ---
    I want you to see
    just how fun our performance is!
[21:25] ---
    We finally met, now come here
[21:29] ---
    Let's start with "nice to meet you"
[21:34] ---
    A dazzling world
    you've never seen before
[21:38] ---
    We want to take you there;
    come on, hurry up!
[21:41] ---
    Look! If your heart shakes,
    you're already in a new world!!
[21:53] ---
    The first step
    always makes you anxious
[21:57] ---
    What's going to happen now?
[22:00] ---
    Those worries will all get
    blown away (For you, too)
[22:02] ---

    that first step (You'll understand)
[22:05] ---
    Whatever will be will be

    will give us courage, too

    (I promise!)
[22:12] ---
    At any time, I'll always be
    by your side and
[22:14] ---
    (Smiling)
[22:16] ---
    If you're concerned at all
[22:19] ---
    Just give it a try (Let's try!)
[22:22] ---
    This new excitement (This excitement)
[22:25] ---
    The one who'll give it to us is...
    Yes! It's you!
[22:29] ---
    What? No way!
[22:30] ---
    Let's run, three, two, one!
[22:33] ---
    Welcome to our world

    If we hold hands and keep walking,
    flowers will bloom

    Let's joy!

    When the impossible becomes possible,
    it'll make you happy

    Come on! Come on!
[22:55] ---
    Come feel this together with us
[22:58] ---
    Now, let's go
[23:02] ---
    What the heck was that?!
[23:05] ---
    Oh, no!
[23:09] ---
    Got you!
[23:11] ---
    I actually watched them... this close!
[23:15] ---
    It was inevitable.
[23:16] ---
    Ugh! If you don't shut up,
    I'll have to retake this again!
[23:19] ---
    Another retake!
[23:21] ---
    Kanon-senpai...
[23:23] ---
    This is what makes school idols charming.
[23:26] ---
    This is the new future we create,

[00:01] ---
    Previously on Love Live! Superstar!!
[00:04] ---
    Spring had arrived and
    we had become second-years,
[00:07] ---
    and the five of us had started fresh
    to try to win at the next Love Live!
[00:09] ---
    But...
[00:10] ---
    "Yuigaoka Girls' High School Idol Club"
    "Let's be school idols"
[00:10] ---
    No one's... coming.
[00:12] ---
    No one wanted to join our club. Because...
[00:15] ---
    That's why all of the first-years
    are pretty convinced
[00:16] ---
    that we wouldn't be able to
    keep up with their training.
[00:19] ---
    Are we going to have to continue
    with just the five of us?
[00:21] ---
    Just when we thought that...
[00:23] ---
    My name's Kinako Sakurakoji!
[00:25] ---
    We found a brave and
    hardworking new student.
[00:28] ---
    Welcome to...
[00:29] ---
    ...Liella!
[00:31] ---
    Welcome!
[00:33] ---
    We usually all gather like this!
[00:35] ---
    We have plenty of snacks!
    Oh, I'll also bring takoyaki next time!
[00:39] ---
    This chocolate's mine.
[00:41] ---
    Hey! Kina Kina gets first dibs!
[00:44] ---
    Oh, lighten up!
[00:45] ---
    "Second-years and First-years"
[00:45] ---
    Kina Kina gets first dibs!
[00:47] ---
    Oh, sorry to keep you
    waiting, Kinako-chan.
[00:49] ---
    Hello...
[00:51] ---
    Once we're all here,
    we start our practice.
[00:55] ---
    You mean training towards the Love Live?
[00:57] ---
    Yes! The stage of dreams for school idols.
[01:00] ---
    That's what the Love Live is!
[01:03] ---
    I'll be able to stand here, too?
[01:05] ---
    Yeah! Let's do our best together!
[01:08] ---
    Kanon-senpai...
[01:10] ---
    Okay!
[01:16] ---
    Are you okay?
[01:17] ---
    I'm so sowwy...
[01:19] ---
    Everyone's like this in the beginning.
[01:21] ---
    I'll do my best!
[01:23] ---
    Okay, let's do the next
    part of our regimen.
[01:39] ---
    One, two, three, four,
    five, six, seven, eight!
[01:43] ---
    One, two, three, four,
    five, six, seven, eight!
[01:47] ---
    Huh?
[01:53] ---
    Huh?
[01:57] ---
    We're now going to fight
[01:59] ---
    Let's create our own wind
[02:03] ---
    We're going to climb
[02:05] ---
    We're never going to lose,
    we're going to win!
[02:11] ---
    More, more, more!!
[02:19] ---
    Let's always surpass
[02:21] ---
    Who we were yesterday
[02:25] ---
    Even if we don't know
[02:27] ---
    Just how much we can do,
    we're always fired up
[02:30] ---
    I want to smile together with you
[02:32] ---
    I want to know about worlds
    I've yet to discover
[02:36] ---
    I'm going to become stronger
[02:38] ---
    I don't wanna give up
[02:41] ---
    Are you ready? Let's start up right now!
[02:46] ---
    We're going to aim for the top
[02:49] ---
    More than now, more than ever
[02:52] ---
    Our hearts are pounding
[02:56] ---
    Let's make it come true!
[02:57] ---
    Right at this moment, as much as we can
[03:00] ---
    We're dreaming,
    because that's all we can do
[03:03] ---
    We met, so this wish gives us passion
[03:08] ---
    We can go
[03:12] ---
    Let's make the impossible happen
[03:16] ---
    We're going to continue believing,
    so WE WILL!
[03:27] ---
    I can't do this...
[03:29] ---
    This is just the first day.
[03:30] ---
    Yes!
[03:32] ---
    You'll be fine! Don't worry!
[03:34] ---
    I was never good at sports...
[03:36] ---
    Wait!
[03:37] ---
    Kinako-chan, you're it!
[03:39] ---
    Wait! Wait!
[03:45] ---
    I was always left behind.
[03:48] ---
    You don't need to worry about that!
[03:50] ---
    Yeah. This one here couldn't even do
    a single sit up when she joined.
[03:55] ---
    That's in the past! I trained really har--
[03:58] ---
    I'm trying to make her feel better!
    Would you just go along with it already?
[04:02] ---
    Yes!
[04:03] ---
    You're way more amazing
    than my past self, Kina Kina!
[04:07] ---
    Really...?
[04:09] ---
    Yeah! So cheer up!
[04:11] ---
    I know.
[04:13] ---
    Try standing in the center.
[04:16] ---
    Me?
[04:17] ---
    Yeah.
[04:35] ---
    Doesn't it feel great?
[04:37] ---
    Yes...
[04:38] ---
    Once this becomes the Love Live stage,
[04:41] ---
    you'll have plenty of
    people cheering for you,
[04:44] ---
    and they'll give us all strength.
[04:49] ---
    That's lovely...
[04:52] ---
    So cheer up.
[04:56] ---
    I'll do my best!
[04:57] ---
    "Keke's
    Secret Training Menu!!"
[04:58] ---
    Here you go.
[05:01] ---
    Strengthening regimen?
[05:03] ---
    This is the secret regimen I used
    when I had zero stamina.
[05:06] ---
    You can have it now!
[05:07] ---
    "Wake up at 5 AM.
    After stretching, run 3 kilometers"...
[05:12] ---
    This is really detailed.
    Thank you so much!
[05:15] ---
    But don't push yourself too hard.
[05:17] ---
    Make sure you go at your own pace.
[05:19] ---
    Okay!
[05:20] ---
    --I'll try it out first thing tomorrow.
    --Hopefully, we'll get
    more first-years to join.
[05:22] ---
    --Make sure you don't stay up too late.
    --Hopefully, we'll get
    more first-years to join.
[05:24] ---
    --Right! I go to bed early
    and wake up early anyway!
    --Hopefully, we'll get more first-years to join.
[05:25] ---
    --Right! I go to bed early
    and wake up early anyway!
    --Yes, when there's only one...
[05:27] ---
    --Once you get used to it,
    let's go running together!
    --They probably can't help but feel like they're always behind.
[05:29] ---
    --I-I'll do my best!
    --They probably can't help but
    feel like they're always behind.
SIGN    "The School Idol Club Is Seeking New Members" "Let's strive for the Love Live and Win!!"
[05:35] ---
    See you later!
[05:49] ---
    Hey.
[05:57] ---
    Do you have a second?
[06:00] ---
    Have a seat.
[06:02] ---
    Okay.
[06:06] ---
    How's it going?
[06:09] ---
    What do you mean?
[06:10] ---
    The School Idol Club.
[06:12] ---
    Are you interested?
[06:14] ---
    Yes. Well, Mei is.
[06:16] ---
    Mei?
[06:16] ---
    The hell're you looking at?!
[06:19] ---
    And?
[06:21] ---
    How's the School Idol Club?
    Any scary senpais?
[06:25] ---
    All of them are really nice!
    Their practice is pretty rough,
[06:30] ---
    but they're trying to get to
    the Love Live, so it's expected.
[06:33] ---
    The Love Live...
[06:41] ---
    I have a request.
[07:04] ---
    Morning!
[07:05] ---
    Have a good day! Be careful.
[07:09] ---
    Morning, Manmaru!
[07:15] ---
    I'll see you later!
[07:17] ---
    Kinako-chan!
[07:19] ---
    Kanon-senpai?
[07:21] ---
    I guess I found you. Let's run together.
[07:25] ---
    Sure!
[07:43] ---
    Here.
[07:44] ---
    Take your time drinking it.
[07:45] ---
    Thanks...
[07:52] ---
    You're going a little over
    your pace, so be careful.
[07:55] ---
    Sorry... I just can't help myself.
[07:59] ---
    Go at your own pace. The worst thing
    you can do is work too hard.
[08:02] ---
    But...
[08:04] ---
    You're all striving to win, right?
[08:10] ---
    Yeah.
[08:13] ---
    I...
[08:15] ---
    I...
[08:17] ---
    I don't want to hold you all back!
[08:23] ---
    I understand.
[08:25] ---
    Of course, we do want to
    win at the Love Live.
[08:28] ---
    That is a very important goal for us.
[08:30] ---
    But at the same time...
[08:32] ---
    ...we want everyone to know
    how fun it is being a school idol.
[08:37] ---
    Kanon-senpai...
[08:39] ---
    It'd be the best if we could
    get other first-years to join us
[08:43] ---
    and find out just how fun it is.
[08:46] ---
    But I wonder how we can make that happen.
[08:50] ---
    I'm sorry...
[08:51] ---
    No, no! It's not like I'm
    blaming you for anything.
[08:54] ---
    Actually, I should be
    the one to apologize.
[08:56] ---
    I'm sorry for putting so much on you.
[08:59] ---
    I'm going to think about
    this a little more.
[09:10] ---
    --Other first-years...
[09:12] ---
    --Nattsu!
    --Other first-years...
[09:14] ---
    The Nikkei's plummeted!
    This was rather unexpected!
[09:18] ---
    At this rate, my monthly goal will be...
[09:21] ---
    Money, money, money!
[09:27] ---
    Am I really doing this?
[09:30] ---
    I have a request.
[09:32] ---
    I want you to invite Mei
    to be a school idol.
[09:39] ---
    Mei.
[09:40] ---
    She wants to talk to you.
[09:44] ---
    Huh? Uh, well, I...
[09:50] ---
    This is for the School Idol Club...
[09:58] ---
    W-Won't you...
[10:02] ---
    Won't you try being a school idol with me?
[10:06] ---
    Huh? Yoneme-san?
[10:08] ---
    A school idol?!
[10:10] ---
    You like them?
[10:15] ---
    Yoneme-san! Huh?
[10:19] ---
    Come with me.
[10:21] ---
    Eek! Please spare my life!
    I don't have any money right now!
[10:26] ---
    They're sending me money from home!
[10:29] ---
    Bread! I do have some bread though!
[10:31] ---
    Carbonara bread! I'm totally
    hooked on these right now--
[10:33] ---
    I'm ain't gonna take anything from you.
[10:35] ---
    Huh?
[10:36] ---
    Did Shiki ask you to invite me
    into the School Idol Club?
[10:41] ---
    Yes...
[10:42] ---
    Well, ignore her from now on.
[10:44] ---
    Right...
[10:45] ---
    Also, whenever there's
    other people around,
[10:47] ---
    don't talk to me about school idols.
[10:51] ---
    I have no interest in school idols.
[10:55] ---
    We have P.E. next. Hurry up.
[10:57] ---
    Oh, right.
[10:58] ---
    Ow... I think I worked out
    too hard this morning.
[11:05] ---
    Sakurakoji-san? Sakurakoji-san?
[11:09] ---
    Is she okay?
[11:11] ---
    Didn't Sakurakoji-san join
    the School Idol Club lately?
[11:19] ---
    You okay?
[11:21] ---
    Sorry.
[11:22] ---
    You're totally outta energy.
[11:24] ---
    That's what you get for doing
    morning training all of a sudden.
[11:27] ---
    Maybe the School Idol Club really is hard.
[11:30] ---
    Probably.
[11:32] ---
    No!
[11:33] ---
    This isn't because the training's rough.
    It's just I have no energy!
[11:37] ---
    I saw you running in
    the morning, Kinako-chan.
[11:40] ---
    I was just doing that on my own.
[11:41] ---
    And I heard you were practicing on
    the roof late into the evening last night.
[11:45] ---
    Well, the others were
    teaching me choreography.
[11:49] ---
    All right, gather around.
[11:52] ---
    Let's go.
[11:54] ---
    I wonder if they got the wrong idea.
[11:58] ---
    Don't worry about it.
    They don't have a clue.
[12:02] ---
    Not that I really know either...
[12:06] ---
    "Win!!"
SIGN    "The School Idol Club Is Seeking New Members" "Let's strive for the Love Live and Win!!"
[12:12] ---
    I tried to find out more
    from the first-years,
[12:15] ---
    but it appears that
    there are no first-years
[12:17] ---
    that want to join the School Idol Club.
[12:19] ---
    I see...
[12:21] ---
    Maybe I'll join concert band...
[12:23] ---
    What about the School Idol Club?
[12:25] ---
    No way! There's no way
    I'd be able to keep up.
[12:27] ---
    Well, they are striving to win after all.
[12:30] ---
    They really are amazing.
[12:35] ---
    Love Live! Superstar!!
[12:37] ---
    "New Member Reception"
[12:41] ---
    "This way"
[12:42] ---
    As I had suspected, no one is joining
    because of you, Sumire.
[12:45] ---
    Why is it me?
[12:46] ---
    I can't think of any other reason.
[12:48] ---
    That's so rude!
[12:49] ---
    Hello.
[12:50] ---
    Ah! Kina Kina!
[12:52] ---
    Well, did you try talking
    to other first-years?
[12:54] ---
    I'm sorry...
[12:56] ---
    I tried talking to them,
    but everyone seemed hesitant.
[13:00] ---
    So it really is Sumire's fault.
[13:02] ---
    Drop it already!
[13:04] ---
    Actually, I think it's my fault.
[13:06] ---
    Huh?
[13:08] ---
    It's probably because I'm here, and...
[13:12] ---
    What the heck are you even saying?
[13:14] ---
    We told you, it's because of me!
[13:16] ---
    Yes! Yes!
[13:18] ---
    Yes! If only I had more of a presence...
[13:20] ---
    Oh, lay off me!
[13:23] ---
    The practice?
[13:24] ---
    Yes... A handful of my classmates
    had seen me practicing...
[13:29] ---
    ...and it looked difficult to them.
[13:33] ---
    I see...
[13:34] ---
    It's not your fault at all!
[13:37] ---
    It's all because I'm terrible at sports.
[13:41] ---
    That's why it's been more difficult...
[13:43] ---
    It's okay. If you keep practicing
    and get the hang of it...
[13:46] ---
    But it'll be too late to
    try to find people by then.
[13:52] ---
    Want to try to simplify
    our training regimen a bit?
[13:55] ---
    Oh, no! I don't think that's right!
[13:59] ---
    That might be the best strategy.
[14:01] ---
    Ren-chan...
[14:03] ---
    Of course, I also want to
    win at the Love Live.
[14:08] ---
    But even more than that...
[14:09] ---
    I want school idols to be
    a permanent part of this school.
[14:13] ---
    I want to take what my mother started
    and bring it to life with everyone.
[14:16] ---
    I guess your mom did start this...
[14:19] ---
    We need to create a place
    where plenty of first-years can join,
[14:23] ---
    and we should spread the school idol
    activities at this school.
[14:28] ---
    What do you think, Kanon-chan?
[14:31] ---
    Yeah...
[14:32] ---
    I guess we have to change something.
[14:37] ---
    In that case...
[14:38] ---
    "Win!!"
[14:39] ---
    "Get There!!"
[14:47] ---
    --Is this okay?
    --Yeah.
[14:50] ---
    I'll putting up the training
    regimen over here.
[14:52] ---
    We're practicing only an hour?!
[14:54] ---
    Are we going to make it
    to the Love Live like this?
[14:56] ---
    If you're going to complain, then you can
    come up with some ideas yourself.
[15:00] ---
    But if we don't win,
    you'll have to back to Shanghai.
[15:03] ---
    That's not for you to worry about.
[15:05] ---
    And, to further lure in
    some first-years...
[15:09] ---
    "Get some takoyaki!"
    "Welcome new members!!"
[15:11] ---
    We've got some takoyaki!
[15:13] ---

    practices up on the roof!

    --Come try out our new
    practice regimen with us.

    practice regimen with us.

    --We're the School Idol Club!
    --Anyone can join now!

    --Want to be school idols with us?
[15:26] ---
    --It's good. Want one?
    --Want to be school idols with us?
[15:27] ---
    --It's good. Want one?
    --Let's all have fun with the lessons!
[15:29] ---
    --Nah, I'm good.
    --Let's all have fun with the lessons!
[15:30] ---
    --Nah, I'm good.
    --We still have plenty of takoyaki.
[15:31] ---
    --Here.
    --We still have plenty of takoyaki.
[15:32] ---
    "Welcome to the School Idol Club!"
[15:32] ---
    --A training regimen. Want it?
    --We still have plenty of takoyaki.
[15:33] ---
    --A training regimen. Want it?
    --Won't you come sing with us?
[15:35] ---
    Won't you dance with us?
[15:36] ---
    --I don't want either!
    --We're the School Idol Club!
[15:40] ---
    Whew, that was a huge success!
[15:43] ---
    Hopefully this will attract more people.
[15:46] ---
    "Welcome to the School Idol Club!"
    "We welcome new members!
    It's easy enough so anyone can start!"
[16:03] ---
    Oh, crap.
[16:05] ---
    Ah... right.
[16:12] ---
    We don't have practice.
[16:18] ---
    Just five more seconds.
[16:20] ---
    Three, two, one, and we're done!
[16:25] ---
    Okay, that's all for today!
[16:27] ---
    Huh?
[16:27] ---
    We're already done?
[16:29] ---
    Yeah. This is the regimen
    we decided on the other day.
[16:32] ---
    It didn't feel like we did anything.
[16:35] ---
    Sumire-san!
[16:40] ---
    But you know, I may just be exhausted!
[16:43] ---
    Yes! If anyone needs more of a workout,
    they can practice more at home!
[16:47] ---
    --Okay, let's start the stretches.
    --Okay!
[16:49] ---
    Don't let it get to you.
[16:51] ---
    Kanon-senpai.
[16:53] ---
    This is what we all decided.
    Let's try this out for a little longer.
[16:58] ---
    Okay...
[17:05] ---
    Sit.
[17:06] ---
    Huh?
[17:07] ---
    I told you to sit!
[17:09] ---
    Y-Yes, ma'am!
[17:12] ---
    Sorry!
[17:13] ---
    I already ate the bread,
    so this is all I have right now!
[17:16] ---
    I don't want that. You've seriously
    got the wrong idea again.
[17:20] ---
    Don't let it get to you.
    This is how Mei usually is.
[17:25] ---
    What the...
[17:26] ---
    The hell're you doing here?
[17:28] ---
    Coincidence. Pay me no mind
    and continue talking
[17:30] ---
    about school idols.
[17:32] ---
    About school idols?
[17:34] ---
    I-I had no intention
    of talking about them...
[17:38] ---
    You didn't?
[17:44] ---
    Sakurakoji...
[17:46] ---
    You ended up wanting to try out
    being a school idol, right?
[17:50] ---
    Huh?
[17:51] ---
    That's why you joined, right?
[17:53] ---
    You joined knowing that
    they were striving to win
[17:57] ---
    and the training would be hard, right?
[17:59] ---
    Yeah, I did...
[18:02] ---
    Then just keep going forward.
[18:06] ---
    Just try believing in the thing
    you want to do and strive for.
[18:12] ---
    Don't worry about
    all the voices around you.
[18:30] ---
    Okay.
[18:43] ---
    Okay, one more lap!
[18:49] ---
    Kanon-senpai...
[18:51] ---
    Kinako-chan.
[18:53] ---
    I just felt like I needed to train more...
[18:57] ---
    Yeah, I couldn't sit still either.
[19:01] ---
    What are you doing here?!
[19:02] ---
    Hey, Kinako-chan's here, too!
[19:04] ---
    No fair that all of you
    tried to train on your own.
[19:08] ---
    I can't believe we all
    ran into each other.
[19:10] ---
    And at the same time.
[19:12] ---
    Girls...
[19:17] ---
    Um!
[19:19] ---
    Why don't we go back to the old one?
[19:22] ---
    Huh?
[19:23] ---
    This might be rude of me to say...
[19:31] ---
    But I want to do my best and strive
    to win along with the rest of you!
[19:36] ---
    What I admired to be...
    What I wanted to be...
[19:41] ---
    ...was like all of you working so hard
    so you could win!
[19:45] ---
    Even if it's rough, you're all
    so positive and working hard.
[19:50] ---
    But...
[19:51] ---
    I know. But... But...!
[20:02] ---
    I couldn't help but wonder, too...
[20:05] ---
    If we were doing the right thing.
[20:08] ---
    Senpai...
[20:09] ---
    If we go back to the old regimen,
    we might not get any more first-years.
[20:13] ---
    You might end up being the only one.
[20:18] ---
    Will you try hard even then?
[20:21] ---
    Yes...
[20:22] ---
    Will you strive to win
    with the rest of us?
[20:26] ---
    Yes!
[20:30] ---
    Everyone good with that?
[20:31] ---
    I'm in.
[20:34] ---
    I'm sure it'll get through to everyone.
[20:36] ---
    Even if it's difficult, if you keep
    working hard doing the thing you love,
[20:39] ---
    the fun that lies beyond that
    becomes even greater.
[20:42] ---
    That we'll be able to make
    something that we all want to do!
[20:46] ---
    That's how I feel!
[20:49] ---
    I'm sorry! I went too far.
[20:53] ---
    No, I think you're exactly right.
[20:55] ---
    Ren-chan.
[20:57] ---
    Let's believe in
    the power of school idols.
[21:00] ---
    Our feelings are bound to reach everyone!
[21:03] ---
    Right!
[21:04] ---
    We almost lost sight of our goal.
[21:07] ---
    Talk about a huge mistake.
[21:10] ---
    We got too distracted by
    what was right in front of us.
[21:13] ---
    Our goal hasn't changed!
[21:21] ---
    Kinako-chan!
[21:31] ---
    We're Liella! And our goal is...
[21:35] ---
    The Love Live!
[21:37] ---
    And victory!

    You can do it! You can do it!

    Kanon Shibuya...
[22:08] ---
    Beyond the dream I'm chasing,
    I'd always see
[22:13] ---
    This star called hope,
    and because it shines, because it shines
[22:21] ---
    Even if I stumbled,
    I could keep moving forward
[22:26] ---
    Just where am I headed
    beyond this dream I'm chasing?
[22:35] ---
    We'll get lost again among our encounters

    But we can enjoy that, too
[22:44] ---
    When you're able to do something that you
    thought seemed possible but wasn't
[22:48] ---
    It makes you so happy that you want to

    Ah

[00:01] ---
    Previously on Love Live! Superstar!!
[00:03] ---
    I, Kinako Sakurakoji,
    tried a trial membership,
[00:07] ---
    but I couldn't keep up with my senpais.
[00:11] ---
    Rumors spread that
    the training was intense,
[00:13] ---
    and Liella! didn't get
    any new members since.
[00:16] ---
    But then...
[00:17] ---
    Then just keep going forward.
[00:21] ---
    Just try believing in the thing
    you want to do and strive for.
[00:25] ---
    With that little push,
    I decided to join Liella!,
[00:27] ---
    and I was going to do my best to catch up
    with Kanon-san and the others!
[00:31] ---
    I'm going to melt!
[00:33] ---
    You've got this!
[00:34] ---
    "Next in Line to Win"
[00:40] ---
    Tokyo is just...
[00:42] ---
    ...so hot!
[00:43] ---
    Okay, once we take a little breather,
    we're gonna jump into our next set!
[00:47] ---
    I'm ready!
[00:50] ---
    Is that...
[00:51] ---
    ...a stage?
[00:53] ---
    Yup.
[00:54] ---
    Is this the first time
    you're seeing one, Kinako-chan?
[00:57] ---
    Yes!
[01:00] ---
    We sang on this stage last year.
[01:03] ---
    It was me and Kanon who sang here!
[01:05] ---
    The two of you?
[01:07] ---
    It's already been a year...
[01:09] ---
    Come to think of it,
    I wonder if there's a fes this year.
[01:16] ---
    We got it!
[01:19] ---
    Liella! has been officially invited!
[01:24] ---
    We're now going to fight
[01:26] ---
    Let's create our own wind
[01:30] ---
    We're going to climb
[01:32] ---
    We're never going to lose,
    we're going to win!
[01:37] ---
    More, more, more!!
[01:46] ---
    Let's always surpass
[01:48] ---
    Who we were yesterday
[01:52] ---
    Even if we don't know
[01:54] ---
    Just how much we can do,
    we're always fired up
[01:57] ---
    I want to smile together with you
[01:59] ---
    I want to know about worlds
    I've yet to discover
[02:02] ---
    I'm going to become stronger
[02:05] ---
    I don't wanna give up
[02:08] ---
    Are you ready? Let's start up right now!
[02:13] ---
    We're going to aim for the top
[02:16] ---
    More than now, more than ever
[02:19] ---
    Our hearts are pounding
[02:23] ---
    Let's make it come true!
[02:24] ---
    Right at this moment, as much as we can
[02:27] ---
    We're dreaming,
    because that's all we can do
[02:30] ---
    We met, so this wish gives us passion
[02:35] ---
    We can go
[02:38] ---
    Let's make the impossible happen
[02:43] ---
    We're going to continue believing,
    so WE WILL!
[02:54] ---
    Last?
[02:55] ---
    Yes. They'd like Liella! to perform last.
[03:00] ---
    That means we're...
[03:02] ---
    ...the headliner!
[03:03] ---
    Which also means...
    we're the stars! The main act!
[03:06] ---
    Shut up.
[03:08] ---
    Is it really okay that it's us?
[03:10] ---
    The great Sunny Passion
    will not be performing this year.
[03:14] ---
    I see...
[03:15] ---
    Apparently, the two of them
    are putting all of their efforts
[03:19] ---
    into their final school fair performance.
[03:21] ---
    You've already got
    your tickets for Kozushima?
[03:24] ---
    But of course!
[03:25] ---
    This is their last year, so I'm going to
    burn their image into my eyes.
[03:29] ---
    Um... Who is this Sunny Side?
[03:32] ---
    It's Sunny Passion!
[03:34] ---
    They're the winners of
    the last year's Love Live!
[03:36] ---
    They're still absolutely
    fabulous school idols.
[03:38] ---
    I had no idea they were so amazing!
[03:41] ---
    I will send you videos later.
[03:42] ---
    Thank you!
[03:44] ---
    The headliner...
[03:45] ---
    Which means we might be
    the next in line to win.
[03:48] ---
    Huh?
[03:49] ---
    But this fes has nothing to do
    with the Love Live...
[03:52] ---
    They're not directly connected,
[03:54] ---
    but you two were told you had to
    get first place there last year
[03:56] ---
    and worked really hard, right?
[03:58] ---
    Yeah.
[03:59] ---
    Really? How did that go?
[04:02] ---
    We got the special newcomer award.
    Sunny Passion took first place.
[04:07] ---
    Come to think of it,
    I guess we've never actually won yet.
[04:17] ---
    That's why we have to shape up
    and get results here.
[04:20] ---
    Exactly! We're gonna show them we're
    the best candidates to win in the galaxy!
[04:25] ---
    We'll get our revenge!
[04:26] ---
    Yes.
[04:27] ---
    Let's believe in their shared
    enthusiasm and do our best.
[04:30] ---
    Huh?
[04:35] ---
    It's been a while.
[04:36] ---
    Working hard?
[04:37] ---
    Yes!
[04:38] ---
    I heard the two of you were working hard
    towards your concert at your school fair.
[04:43] ---
    Well, it is our final year.
[04:45] ---
    So what did you want to talk about?
[04:47] ---
    Er...
[04:49] ---
    It's nothing major...
[04:51] ---
    What? You want relationship advice?
[04:53] ---
    No. It's about Liella!...
[04:57] ---
    Why did you say that our group moved
    your hearts the most in that interview?
[05:06] ---
    Was that a nuisance?
[05:07] ---
    No, no! It's just,
    we just started as school idols,
[05:12] ---
    and haven't been able to
    produce any results.
[05:14] ---
    That doesn't matter.
[05:16] ---
    Simply put, you did a wonderful job,
    especially that Christmas performance.
[05:22] ---
    It's just...
[05:23] ---
    That's still not enough to beat us.
[05:26] ---
    We'd really like to win one more time.
[05:31] ---
    Did you know that not a single school
[05:33] ---
    has ever won the Love Live
    two times in a row?
[05:37] ---
    If we're able to pull that off,
[05:39] ---
    Sunny Passion's name will be deeply
    ingrained in Love Live's history.
[05:44] ---
    As well as our school and our island.
[05:51] ---
    Of course, we know it's
    a huge wall to climb.
[05:57] ---
    You have such an amazing goal in mind...
[06:00] ---
    Huh?
[06:01] ---
    I'll be cheering you on!
[06:06] ---
    I mean, that obviously makes us happy,
    but are you sure about that?
[06:09] ---
    If we do win again this year,
    that means you're going to lose.
[06:16] ---
    Let's meet again at the Love Live.
[06:18] ---
    We'll be waiting for you!
[06:25] ---
    Okay.
[06:26] ---
    "Alarms"
[06:30] ---
    I'll see you later!
[06:33] ---
    It's still cold...
[06:35] ---
    Kanon-senpai!
[06:36] ---
    You're early again today.
[06:38] ---
    I've been following Keke-senpai's regimen!
[06:41] ---
    Way to go, Kinako-chan.
    Is it okay if I join you?
[06:44] ---
    Of course!
[06:47] ---
    One, two, three, four,
    five, six, seven, eight!
[06:51] ---
    One...
[06:52] ---
    You've gotten better
    at dancing, Kinako-chan.
[06:54] ---
    Thank you!
[06:56] ---
    You're probably practicing
    at night, too, aren't you?
[07:00] ---
    But don't push yourself too hard, okay?
[07:03] ---
    Actually...
[07:05] ---
    There's someone in my class
[07:08] ---
    who had mentioned how great
    school idols are recently.
[07:10] ---
    Really?
[07:11] ---
    Yes. She said it was great
    that we were working toward
[07:14] ---
    something big as soon as
    I entered high school.
[07:17] ---
    Wow... That makes me so happy!
[07:20] ---
    It's just like you said, Kinako-chan!
[07:22] ---
    As long as you do your best,
    you'll get through to others!
[07:29] ---
    Hey! You two are early.
[07:32] ---
    "I'll be cheering you on.
    You've got this, Liella!"
[07:34] ---
    Is that a gift?
[07:35] ---
    This was sitting in front of
    our club room when I got here.
[07:38] ---
    I wonder who it's from.
[07:40] ---
    No idea...
[07:41] ---
    It's probably from a first-year.
[07:46] ---
    What's wrong?
[07:48] ---
    All because Sumire insisted on racing.
[07:51] ---
    That's because you got so worked up!
[07:53] ---
    You two never change. Here.
[07:56] ---
    Wh-What's this?
[07:58] ---
    Make sure you enjoy it.
[08:00] ---
    It's juice that one of our kohai
    worked really hard to make for us.
[08:05] ---
    It got to them!
[08:07] ---
    Yay, yay! Liella! got it!
[08:12] ---
    You could've just
    given it to them yourself.
[08:15] ---
    Shut it! This is fine!
[08:20] ---
    One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...
[08:24] ---
    Yup, you've got the basics down!
    Great job getting this far.
[08:27] ---
    Thank you!
[08:30] ---
    But! Make sure you
    get plenty of rest today!
[08:33] ---
    Not getting hurt is also
    part of your training.
[08:35] ---
    Right!
[08:36] ---
    If you'll excuse me!
[08:42] ---
    Hey, do you think we can win?
[08:45] ---
    Are you nervous?
[08:47] ---
    Kinda...
[08:48] ---
    After hearing what Sunny Passion and
    everyone at school said, I want results.
[08:55] ---
    I don't want to let them down.
[08:58] ---
    I get it.
[09:00] ---
    You know...
[09:01] ---
    I really think our performance
    at the Love Live was wonderful.
[09:05] ---
    We all worked together
    to create that one performance.
[09:10] ---
    But...
[09:11] ---
    Once it was over, all that I felt
    was we almost had it,
[09:14] ---
    or it sucks but there's
    nothing we could do...
[09:17] ---
    Just feelings like that.
[09:19] ---
    That the only way to feel happy
    with everyone is to win.
[09:24] ---
    When you think of it like that,
    the Love Live really is rough.
[09:28] ---
    But competing with different groups
[09:31] ---
    and striving for the same goal is fun.
[09:36] ---
    It makes me really excited.
[09:38] ---
    That's the Kanon-chan I know.
[09:43] ---
    Oh, my family's calling.
    I'll go tell them I'm gonna be late.
[09:50] ---
    Look at the time. I should also...
[09:52] ---
    Kanon Shibuya.
[09:54] ---
    Huh?
[10:02] ---
    Who are you?
[10:03] ---
    They think you're going to win
    the next one, right? Then sing.
[10:07] ---
    Huh?
[10:09] ---
    You can't do it?
[10:12] ---
    Kanon-chan?
[10:14] ---
    What's wrong?
[10:15] ---
    Huh? Someone was just...
[10:20] ---
    No... Never mind.
[10:23] ---
    Hey!
[10:24] ---
    Hey!
[10:36] ---
    I wonder what all that was about.
[10:49] ---
    Love Live! Superstar!!
[10:56] ---
    Goddammit!
[10:58] ---
    I was just a minute late
    and they gave me the lowest rating...
[11:05] ---
    Things seem rather lively over there.
[11:10] ---
    So this is the Yoyogi School Idol Fes...
[11:15] ---
    There're so many school idols.
[11:17] ---
    I'm so happy. We're surrounded
    by school idols.
[11:21] ---
    Hey, Kanon-chan. Look over here.
[11:23] ---
    Huh?
[11:24] ---
    How do you feel going into this?
[11:26] ---
    Wait! What is this?
[11:28] ---
    We're thinking about uploading
    some behind-the-scenes footage
[11:29] ---
    of our performance later.
[11:31] ---
    So everyone's going to see this?
[11:33] ---
    Of course!
[11:35] ---
    It's all you, Sumire-chan!
[11:37] ---
    Oh, fine. Listen, at times like this...
[11:42] ---
    --Galaxy! I'm Sumire Heann--
[11:43] ---
    --Whoops, my battery died.
    --Galaxy! I'm Sumire Heann--
[11:45] ---
    Why, though?!
[11:46] ---
    Kanon-chan.
[11:47] ---
    You came!
[11:49] ---
    Yeah. Apparently this fes
    is really popular.
[11:53] ---
    A lot of the kids from school
    couldn't get in.
[11:56] ---
    Really?
[11:57] ---
    Everyone said they'll be cheering
    for you online, so do your best!
[12:02] ---
    Yeah...
[12:04] ---
    You know... Maybe the one who's
    the most nervous is Kanon-chan.
[12:10] ---
    Let's believe in everything
    we've done so far.
[12:14] ---
    Yeah...
[12:16] ---
    Hey!
[12:17] ---
    Hey!
[12:18] ---
    Hey!
[12:27] ---
    Okay!
[12:29] ---
    I'm starting to get nervous.
[12:31] ---
    Don't worry. Let's do our best!
[12:33] ---
    Kanon Shibuya.
[12:41] ---
    Kanon-san?
[12:43] ---
    I'll be right back.
[12:48] ---
    She's...
[12:56] ---
    Excuse me!
[13:11] ---
    I crawl through
[13:13] ---
    This darkness
[13:16] ---
    The moonlight that could disappear
[13:17] ---
    At any moment is my guide
[13:20] ---
    The more opponents I have to fight
[13:24] ---
    The more my heart is
    gently polished and starts to shine
[13:31] ---
    Even without wings, I can fly
[13:40] ---
    I will summon a butterfly into my soul
[13:50] ---
    And even higher than that bird up high
[13:54] ---
    I will cast blinding colors
    as I fly into the sky
[14:02] ---
    The only ones who will be chosen
[14:04] ---
    Are those who wish strongly enough
[14:16] ---
    How long are we going to just stand here?
[14:19] ---
    Just shut up.
[14:22] ---
    We couldn't win, but...
[14:24] ---
    Yeah.
[14:25] ---
    Us getting the special award two years
    in a row is an accomplishment, too!
[14:30] ---
    Yeah...
[14:32] ---
    I'm sorry...
[14:33] ---
    Huh?
[14:35] ---
    This is all because I wasn't good enough.
[14:38] ---
    Y'all should've sung on your own.
[14:41] ---
    That's not true!
    What are you talking about?
[14:44] ---
    Yeah.
[14:45] ---
    Huh?
[14:45] ---
    We're all on that stage
    together, aren't we?
[14:48] ---
    It's no one's fault and
    it's not all thanks to one person.
[14:51] ---
    We're creating this together.
    That's what school idols do, don't they?
[14:56] ---
    It doesn't have much of an impact
    when you say it, Sumire, but she's right.
[15:00] ---
    Our failures are just
    our warmups to our success.
[15:03] ---
    I'm sure it'll go well next time!
[15:05] ---
    Keke-senpai!
[15:08] ---
    Okay!
[15:09] ---
    "Your performance was awesome!
    Great job!"
[15:10] ---
    "Your performance was awesome!
    Great job!"
    "I was so excited!"
[15:11] ---
    "The crowd was definitely
    the most excited for Liella!"
[15:13] ---
    "The crowd was definitely
    the most excited for Liella!"
    "You'll definitely be #1 next time!"
[15:14] ---
    "The crowd was definitely
    the most excited for Liella!"
    "You'll definitely be #1 next time!" "You've got this!"
[15:19] ---
    I guess we made them worry again.
[15:22] ---
    "The Winner of the YOYOGI School
    Idol Festival is Wien Margarete!!"
[15:23] ---
    The winner was Wien Margarete,
[15:26] ---
    a third-year in middle school
    whose talent was very clear.
[15:31] ---
    A middle school student...
[15:34] ---
    We lost to a middle school student.
[15:54] ---
    You're...
[15:56] ---
    I heard that the Love Live was
    some big competition,
[16:00] ---
    but if people think your group
    might be the next winner,
[16:02] ---
    I guess it's not
    all that special after all.
[16:07] ---
    I should have no problem winning.
[16:12] ---
    You're wrong. The Love Live
    is an amazing competition.
[16:17] ---
    Our group...
[16:21] ---
    ...isn't the next in line to win.
[16:24] ---
    Really?
[16:25] ---
    We just happened to catch
[16:27] ---
    the eyes of the amazing people
    who won and they complimented us.
[16:31] ---
    We haven't produced any results yet.
[16:33] ---
    Then I guess I came here for nothing.
[16:39] ---
    Though out of all of
    the people I heard today,
[16:42] ---
    you at least had talent...
[16:45] ---
    ...with singing.
[16:50] ---
    "Let's strive for
    the Love Live and Win!!"
[16:52] ---
    "The School Idol Club Is
    Seeking New Members"
    "Let's strive for the Love Live and Win!!"
[16:56] ---
    We need to get motivated!
    No yawning allowed!
[16:56] ---
    "Defeat Wien!"
[16:59] ---
    We must defeat Wien!
[17:01] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
[17:02] ---
    Hey!
[17:04] ---
    Can I get some of your time?
[17:06] ---
    There's something I want to say
    before we practice.
[17:13] ---
    We weren't able to produce results again.
[17:18] ---
    So is it really okay for us
    to strive to win--
[17:24] ---
    Congrats!
[17:28] ---
    Everyone...
[17:29] ---
    You got the special award, right?
[17:31] ---
    That's awesome!
[17:32] ---
    Great job!
[17:33] ---
    Thanks.
[17:35] ---
    But, um--
[17:36] ---
    It's fine!
[17:38] ---
    Huh?
[17:38] ---
    That's fine.
[17:40] ---
    That's still totally fine.
[17:43] ---
    Come with us.
[17:47] ---
    What's this?
[17:49] ---
    This is everything all of our clubs at our
    school accomplished over the last year.
[17:54] ---
    There's basically nothing.
    We barely got any awards.
[17:58] ---
    I mean, that's not surprising.
    There were only first-years.
[18:02] ---
    We know that all of you
[18:03] ---
    "Love Live! Tokyo Tournament
    2nd Place"
    "Yuigaoka Girls' High School"
[18:05] ---
    think you still have a long way to go.
[18:08] ---
    But for all the students at this school,
    you're our pride and joy.
[18:12] ---
    We're so proud of you.
[18:15] ---
    The members of Liella!...
[18:18] ---
    ...are the superstars at this school.
[18:21] ---
    We're...
[18:23] ---
    ...superstars?
[18:25] ---
    Please don't ever forget that.
[18:28] ---
    We'll always be proud of you.
[18:32] ---
    We believe that you'll
    shine the brightest one day.
[18:38] ---
    So... we want you to
    keep striving for the win.
[18:46] ---
    Let's do a performance!
[18:48] ---
    Huh?
[18:49] ---
    You know where we're
    going to perform, right?
[18:57] ---
    Yeah!
[18:58] ---
    "Love Live! Tokyo Tournament
    2nd Place"
    "Yuigaoka Girls' High School"
[19:01] ---
    "Liella! Thank you Concert!!"
[19:01] ---
    It's about to start!
[19:03] ---
    Liella!'s concert is about to start!
[19:05] ---
    Come by and watch if you have time!
[19:11] ---
    It's packed! It's super packed!
[19:14] ---
    You're speaking in Chinese.
[19:16] ---
    Looks like all the first-years
    are here to watch us, too.
[19:19] ---
    Th-Th-Th-The front! The very front!
[19:22] ---
    Wha?!
[19:23] ---
    I saved a seat for you.
    Was that unnecessary?
[19:27] ---
    It's very necessary!
[19:28] ---
    We're ready whenever!
[19:31] ---
    Hey, I want to go without a center today.
[19:35] ---
    Huh?
[19:39] ---
    The center is all of us...
    and everyone from Yuigaoka.
[19:46] ---
    This whole wonderful and amazing school.
[19:49] ---
    Those are the feelings I want to
    put into this performance.
[20:11] ---
    Even though things aren't always fun
[20:17] ---
    When you accomplish them,
    you feel a hundred times happier
[20:23] ---
    Even if it makes us cry sometimes,
    let's butt heads with all we've got
[20:30] ---
    Just like the sky
    we always see is blue
[20:36] ---
    Don't worry about it!
    Mistakes are an invitation to grow
[20:42] ---
    Now, let's move on to the next step
[20:48] ---
    Here we go! Right now!
[20:49] ---
    We're all going to
    keep our heads up and stand up
[20:55] ---
    We'll make an upwards trend
    as many times as we want
[20:58] ---
    Yeah, let's create it, (Go!!) jump on it,
    (Go!!) and shoot for the stars
[21:01] ---
    Let's embrace that prickly pain
[21:06] ---
    Because we can believe in it,
    this sparkling future
[21:11] ---
    Should definitely be waiting for us
[21:13] ---
    Go!! Restart
[21:17] ---
    Go!! Yeah
[21:20] ---
    Go!! Yeah
[21:23] ---
    Go!! Yeah
[21:30] ---
    Go!!
[21:42] ---
    That was... the best...
[21:46] ---
    Liella!
[21:47] ---
    You're amazing, Kanon-chan!
[21:49] ---
    --Your dancing was on point!
    --You did great, Kinako!
[22:08] ---
    Beyond the dream I'm chasing,
    I'd always see
[22:13] ---
    This star called hope,
    and because it shines, because it shines
[22:21] ---
    Even if I stumbled,
    I could keep moving forward
[22:26] ---
    Just where am I headed
    beyond this dream I'm chasing?
[22:35] ---
    We'll get lost again among our encounters
[22:39] ---
    But we can enjoy that, too
[22:44] ---
    When you're able to do something that you
    thought seemed possible but wasn't
[22:48] ---
    It makes you so happy that you want to
    work hard and your heart wants to pop out
[22:55] ---
    Ah
[22:57] ---
    We want to tell everyone
    to laugh more and sing more
[23:02] ---
    So let's keep going even further
[23:06] ---
    The world keeps expanding and
    some of the scenery might change
[23:11] ---
    But our passion will never change!
[23:14] ---
    There are dreams we want to see come true
    by overcoming a lot of frustration
[23:20] ---
    Come on, everyone,
    let's make them come true
[23:24] ---
    I wonder what kind of excitement
    we'll play tomorrow
[23:29] ---
    Let's change the future!
[23:37] ---

    Previously on Love Live! Superstar!!
[00:04] ---
    Liella once again performed at
    a School Idol Fes, and this time, we're...
[00:08] ---
    ...the headliner!
[00:09] ---
    We participated as the hopefuls
    to win the next Love Live, but we lost.
[00:14] ---
    If people think your group
    might be the next winners,
[00:17] ---
    I guess it's not
    all that special after all.
[00:20] ---
    We'll always be proud of you.
[00:23] ---
    We want you to keep striving for the win.
[00:25] ---
    With everyone's support,
    Liella! was able to grow even more.
[00:28] ---
    Onward to winning the Love Live!
[00:34] ---
    --So cute... They're so cute...
[00:36] ---
    --A school idol?
    --So cute... They're so cute...
[00:37] ---
    I was sorta moved when I saw them singing.
[00:41] ---
    Why don't you give it a try? They seem
    to be looking for new members.
[00:45] ---
    Maybe I'll think about it...
[00:46] ---
    Really?!
[00:47] ---
    I'll bring you an application right now!
[00:50] ---
    Huh? No, I uh...
[00:55] ---
    S-Sorry for being loud.
[00:57] ---
    I ended up talking about school idols
    in front of you again without thinking...
[01:02] ---
    I told you! I ain't interested!
[01:09] ---
    We're now going to fight
[01:11] ---
    Let's create our own wind
[01:15] ---
    We're going to climb
[01:17] ---
    We're never going to lose,
    we're going to win!
[01:22] ---
    More, more, more!!
[01:31] ---
    Let's always surpass
[01:33] ---
    Who we were yesterday
[01:36] ---
    Even if we don't know
[01:39] ---
    Just how much we can do,
    we're always fired up
[01:42] ---
    I want to smile together with you
[01:44] ---
    I want to know about worlds
    I've yet to discover
[01:47] ---
    I'm going to become stronger
[01:50] ---
    I don't wanna give up
[01:53] ---
    Are you ready? Let's start up right now!
[01:58] ---
    We're going to aim for the top
[02:01] ---
    More than now, more than ever
[02:04] ---
    Our hearts are pounding
[02:08] ---
    Let's make it come true!
[02:09] ---
    Right at this moment, as much as we can
[02:12] ---
    We're dreaming,
    because that's all we can do
[02:15] ---
    We met, so this wish gives us passion
[02:20] ---
    We can go
[02:23] ---
    Let's make the impossible happen
[02:28] ---
    We're going to continue believing,
    so WE WILL!
[02:39] ---
    "The Two in the Science Room"
[02:40] ---
    A club president?
[02:41] ---
    Yes. The number of clubs is increasing,
[02:44] ---
    so I was thinking about
    holding a presidents' meeting.
[02:47] ---
    I guess we never decided on
    a club president.
[02:51] ---
    Yeah...
[02:54] ---
    Stare...
[02:56] ---
    Stare...
[02:59] ---
    Huh? Wha?!
[03:01] ---
    Well, I guess that's settled.
[03:02] ---
    Wait! Now, hang on a sec!
[03:05] ---
    Should we officially take votes?
[03:06] ---
    If you think Kanon-chan
    should be president...
[03:07] ---
    Wait, dang it!
[03:09] ---
    I thought you were already
    the president when I joined.
[03:13] ---
    How did you expect this to go?
[03:15] ---
    I think you should be the president, too!
[03:17] ---
    Then I guess it's settled.
[03:18] ---
    You can't just decide that!
[03:20] ---
    You're that against doing it?
[03:22] ---
    I'm not against it, but...
[03:24] ---
    I agree! Ren-senpai has
    the student council,
[03:28] ---
    which really limits the number
    of qualifying senpais...
[03:31] ---
    Did you just casually say something
    incredibly rude right now?
[03:34] ---
    Now, now. Well, it seems that
    everyone else agrees, but...
[03:48] ---
    What are they talking about?
[03:50] ---
    Wanna listen?
[03:50] ---
    Thanks.
[03:53] ---
    Okay, now that we've got ourselves
    a president, let's review yesterday's steps.
[03:56] ---
    President? I see. They were deciding that.
[03:59] ---
    Who is it? The obvious choice
    is Shibuya-san!
[04:00] ---
    Could it actually be Heanna-san?!
[04:02] ---
    Or the lead dancer Arashi-san?
[04:03] ---
    Wait, maybe it's gonna be Keke-san.
[04:05] ---
    Hazuki-san would end up
    really busy if it's her!
[04:08] ---
    Wait, what the hell is this?
[04:10] ---
    Was it hard to hear them?
[04:11] ---
    That's not what I meant!
    When the hell'd you plant this thing?
[04:15] ---
    I didn't. The microphone I use for experiments
    just happens to be on the roof.
[04:20] ---
    You don't want to hear them?
[04:23] ---
    O-Of course I don't.
[04:25] ---
    Then why do you watch them every day?
[04:28] ---
    That's because... You know,
    there's not much to do here.
[04:31] ---
    I'm just killing time.
[04:34] ---
    I see. Well...
[04:38] ---
    Completely absorbed. Bawling.
[04:41] ---
    I never said you could take these!
[04:43] ---
    But you were super cute.
[04:44] ---
    It's not cute!
[04:46] ---
    No one in the world wants their face while
    they're watching a concert to be seen!
[04:51] ---
    Is that so?
[04:53] ---
    Anyway, this is just coincidental.
[04:55] ---
    I only went because they just
    happened to be doing a concert.
[04:59] ---
    Your face is bright red.
[05:01] ---
    Shut up!
[05:03] ---
    If you just let time pass you by,
    you're going to miss your time to join.
[05:06] ---
    Are you really okay with that?
[05:09] ---
    Whatever. I don't plan on joining.
[05:13] ---
    Not to mention, if I leave, this dark room
    is just gonna get darker, isn't it?
[05:19] ---
    "Science Fanatics Club
    Temp. Club Room"
[05:26] ---
    This is...
[05:28] ---
    A perfect circle! Look, Kanon-cha--
[05:33] ---
    Kanon-chan?
[05:34] ---
    Huh? Uh, sure.
[05:37] ---
    You still don't want to be the president?
[05:41] ---
    That's not it...
[05:44] ---
    You're the one who started
    this school idol thing, Kanon-chan.
[05:47] ---
    No, I'm not. That was Keke-chan.
[05:50] ---
    But we all came together
    because of you, right?
[05:54] ---
    Maybe... But since we're starting new,
[05:58] ---
    I don't think I should be the president.
[06:02] ---
    For example... Maybe you, Chi-chan.
[06:05] ---
    Me? I can't do it.
[06:07] ---
    Why?
[06:08] ---
    Because... I'm not cut out for that.
[06:15] ---
    Um... Could I talk to you two?
[06:23] ---
    Are you going to your club
    again today, Kinako-chan?
[06:25] ---
    Of course! If you're interested at all,
    please come by anytime!
[06:29] ---
    We'll be waiting on the roof!
[06:33] ---
    I ended up talking about school idols
    in class again. I'm sorry...
[06:37] ---
    I'm sorry!
[06:39] ---
    Hey! I'm not mad...
[06:47] ---
    Jeez, she's already gone?
[06:50] ---
    Hey, Shiki. At least try
    fitting in with the class.
[06:54] ---
    At this rate, this is gonna be
    like middle school all over again.
[06:59] ---
    What? You mad?
[07:01] ---
    Didn't you tell me over spring break
[07:03] ---
    that you were going to try a bit more
    when we got into high school?
[07:09] ---
    Hey, are you listening?
[07:25] ---
    What the hell?
[07:36] ---
    Huh?
[07:37] ---
    Okay, go ahead and introduce yourself!
[07:40] ---
    I'm Shiki Wakana.
[07:42] ---
    Shiki-chan became interested in us after
    seeing us perform live the other day.
[07:46] ---
    Thank you so much. Please enjoy
    being a school idol today.
[07:52] ---
    She's a first-year!
    She's a first-year, just like me!
[07:57] ---
    What the hell?
    What are you doing over there?
[08:03] ---
    Wha--
[08:07] ---
    Oh, damn it!
[08:11] ---
    Okay, looking good.
[08:13] ---
    I see you're as flexible as I am.
[08:17] ---
    This is easy.
[08:19] ---
    Since she came by today,
[08:22] ---
    why don't we have her do some
    simple steps and formation with us?
[08:25] ---
    That's a wonderful idea!
[08:26] ---
    It's so much fun dancing together!
[08:34] ---
    Come here a sec!
[08:38] ---
    Why?!
[08:40] ---
    Is something wrong?
[08:44] ---
    What?
[08:45] ---
    Is someone there?
[08:47] ---
    Okay, let's start!
[08:49] ---
    Okay.
[08:54] ---
    She's standing with them. I'm so jealous!
[09:04] ---
    Who is this? This feels like déjà vu.
[09:07] ---
    Um, I... Uh...
[09:10] ---
    She's Mei. A first-year.
[09:12] ---
    Is she your friend?
[09:14] ---
    Do you happen to have
    an interest in school idols?
[09:18] ---
    Um, well, I...
[09:20] ---
    She'd been watching there this whole time.
[09:21] ---
    Hey!
[09:22] ---
    Which means you must be really interested!
[09:25] ---
    Perfect timing.
[09:27] ---
    Since you're here, why don't you see
    what it's like to be a school idol?
[09:33] ---
    Me? A school idol?
[09:36] ---
    Yeah.
[09:38] ---
    Me?
[09:48] ---
    What are you going to do, Shiki?
    Are you really going to be a school idol?
[09:55] ---
    I haven't decided yet.
[10:00] ---
    --Don't lie.
    --Huh?
[10:02] ---
    I'm leaving.
[10:03] ---
    Huh? Wha?!
[10:05] ---
    But...
[10:07] ---
    I said I'm leaving, okay?!
[10:09] ---
    Whoa!
[10:12] ---
    Mei-chan...
[10:20] ---
    Love Live! Superstar!!
[10:24] ---
    There.
[10:25] ---
    There?
[10:27] ---
    The room on the end on the second floor.
[10:30] ---
    What? Is something there?
[10:32] ---
    It's hard to see it from here...
[10:36] ---
    Wait! The thing on the wall there...
[10:42] ---
    I knew it! It's a poster of Liella!
[10:45] ---
    And below that is the
    limited-edition encyclopedia
[10:45] ---
    "School Idols"
[10:47] ---
    of all the school idols
    released three years ago.
[10:49] ---
    And on the side of that...
[10:51] ---
    There's something
    on top of the shelf, too.
[10:53] ---
    Huh?
[10:56] ---
    Wha--
[10:58] ---
    "The Legendary Idol Legend"
[10:59] ---
    "The Legendary Idol Legend"
[11:02] ---
    Keke-senpai?
[11:05] ---
    The legendary... Legendary Idol Legend...
[11:10] ---
    Why are you crying?
[11:11] ---
    What are you talking about?! I've never
    seen it before with my own eyes!
[11:14] ---
    It's a legendary DVD!
[11:16] ---
    Listen to me carefully. That's extremely
    expensive on auction sites.
[11:18] ---
    --If you even have it, school idol fans...
    --Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[11:20] ---
    Whose room is that?
[11:22] ---
    Hey, look.
[11:26] ---
    Mei-chan...?
[11:27] ---
    Hide.
[11:28] ---
    Huh?
[11:33] ---
    I thought I felt someone staring at me...
[11:47] ---
    I'm sho sowwy!
[11:58] ---
    I guess I'm just imagining it.
[12:01] ---
    Huh?
[12:02] ---
    Mei's eyesight isn't very good.
[12:06] ---
    Really?
[12:07] ---
    Does that mean the reason
    she's always glaring is...
[12:11] ---
    Her eyesight is just bad. I tell her
    all the time to put on her glasses.
[12:15] ---
    So that's why people
    in our class are scared of her.
[12:19] ---
    She should just explain that.
[12:22] ---
    She's not very good at speaking.
[12:24] ---
    You and Mei-chan must've
    been friends for a while.
[12:28] ---
    Friends?
[12:31] ---
    You're not?
[12:33] ---
    "Friends"... I'm not sure.
[12:40] ---
    The first time we met
    was in middle school.
[12:44] ---
    I was always alone,
    and I was fine with that.
[12:53] ---
    Mei-chan, let's go!
[12:54] ---
    You go ahead.
[12:56] ---
    At first, she just started talking to me.
[13:00] ---
    Hey.
[13:02] ---
    Wanna come with me?
[13:08] ---
    That should've been the end. But...
[13:13] ---
    Damn it, shut up!
[13:16] ---
    I said no!
[13:20] ---
    "How to Care for a Turtle"
[13:22] ---
    Am I in the way?
[13:23] ---
    Nah.
[13:27] ---
    I'm the one who's in the way.
[13:36] ---
    Getting told who I should like or
    who we shouldn't get along with...
[13:41] ---
    Why does being in groups
    cause trouble like that?
[13:48] ---
    You know...
[13:49] ---
    Maybe I prefer being
    on my own like you, too.
[13:56] ---
    I thought she was kidding.
    But ever since that day,
[14:00] ---
    Mei and I spent every day together.
[14:03] ---
    "Science Club"
[14:05] ---
    When she found out I was
    trying to create a Science Club,
[14:08] ---
    she joined, even though
    she had no interest in science.
[14:16] ---
    Even though she actually
    likes school idols?
[14:19] ---
    The reason Mei chose
    this school is because
[14:21] ---
    she wanted to try being a school idol.
[14:24] ---
    Because Liella! goes here.
[14:26] ---
    And yet, she refuses to start.
[14:30] ---
    What about you, Shiki-chan?
[14:31] ---
    Did you only try out a trial membership
    in our club for Mei-chan's sake?
[14:39] ---
    I'm sorry.
[14:41] ---
    Don't worry about it.
[14:42] ---
    In that case, I think Mei-chan
    doesn't want to leave you alone.
[14:48] ---
    Why?
[14:49] ---
    Because you two are the only ones
    in the Science Club, right?
[14:53] ---
    I don't understand.
    I haven't done anything for Mei.
[14:58] ---
    "Sunrise Movers"
[15:00] ---
    My back...
[15:01] ---
    My back... Oninattsu.
[15:05] ---
    When I get home, I still have to
    film and edit a video... I'm so busy.
[15:12] ---
    --Hide.
    --Huh?
[15:16] ---
    Took you long enough.
    Where did you wander off to?
[15:20] ---
    What?
[15:21] ---
    I thought I'd ask you
    what your intentions were.
[15:25] ---
    I think you should be more honest.
[15:27] ---
    Everyone in the School Idol Club
    are good people.
[15:30] ---
    I'm not talking about me!
    I'm talking about you!
[15:34] ---
    I like being alone.
    I never asked you to stay with me.
[15:39] ---
    Because this is a new school,
[15:40] ---
    the Science Club can stay,
    even if there's only one member.
[15:44] ---
    You don't need to worry about me.
    Hurry up and join the School Idol Club.
[15:47] ---
    I told you! I'm not cut out for it!
[15:51] ---
    Then don't come to
    the science room anymore.
[15:53] ---
    Huh?
[15:54] ---
    If you're there all the time
    when you have no interest in it,
[15:57] ---
    it's honestly a nuisance.
[16:03] ---
    What should we do?
[16:06] ---
    Not cut out for it...
[16:13] ---
    You can do it!
    You can do anything, Chi-chan!
[16:18] ---
    I can't!
[16:24] ---
    You just think you can't! So don't worry!
[16:30] ---
    Kanon-chan...
[16:35] ---
    Anyway, she's clearly
    knowledgeable about school idols.
[16:39] ---
    She's bound to be a star rookie.
[16:41] ---
    Let's figure this out!
[16:42] ---
    Don't be pushy.
[16:43] ---
    I'm not being pushy!
[16:46] ---
    Things just aren't going well...
[16:48] ---
    Not cut out for it...
[16:49] ---
    Huh?
[16:51] ---
    Mei-chan made up her mind, didn't she?
[16:54] ---
    Huh? Yeah...
[16:56] ---
    Even though she might be able to
    do it if she thinks she can.
[17:02] ---
    So hey, Kanon-chan...
[17:06] ---
    "The first Yuigaoka Girls'
    High School presidents meeting"
[17:08] ---
    We will now begin
[17:10] ---
    the first Yuigaoka Girls'
    High School presidents meeting.
[17:16] ---
    I'm Shiki Wakana, the president
    of the Science Fanatics Club.
[17:22] ---
    "The first Yuigaoka Girls'
    High School presidents meeting"
[17:29] ---
    I'm Chisato Arashi, the president
    of the School Idol Club!
[17:35] ---
    Chi-chan!
[17:36] ---
    Chisato-san...
[17:38] ---
    ...as president?
[17:39] ---
    I might end up causing
    you all some trouble,
[17:41] ---
    but I thought that maybe I could do it,
    so I wanted to challenge myself.
[17:46] ---
    That's lovely!
[17:47] ---
    I'll follow you anywhere, Senpai!
[17:51] ---
    Girls...
[18:02] ---
    Mei-chan.
[18:04] ---
    What? If you're gonna ask me to be
    a school idol, I'm not interested.
[18:09] ---
    Why?
[18:09] ---
    It's obvious, isn't it?! Just look at
    my face and personality!
[18:13] ---
    There's no way I'm cut out for it!
[18:16] ---
    You can't say you're not
    cut out for it if you've never tried.
[18:19] ---
    Shut up!
[18:22] ---
    You're hesitating
    because of Shiki-chan, right?
[18:26] ---
    Because you want to be with her.
[18:29] ---
    I never... I mean,
    she says she prefers to be alone.
[18:35] ---
    That I'm in the way.
[18:37] ---
    That's a lie. You know that, too.
    Because you're exactly alike.
[18:43] ---
    Huh? Shiki and me?
[18:46] ---
    You can't be serious.
    We're totally different!
[18:54] ---
    You really think so?
[18:57] ---
    You're shy, lonely...
[19:00] ---
    You dislike that about yourself,
[19:05] ---
    but you just keep telling yourself
    that you prefer that.
[19:12] ---
    I think Shiki-chan's the same way.
[19:13] ---
    Huh?
[19:14] ---
    I realized it when I saw
    you two on the roof.
[19:18] ---
    Just like you care about her,
    Shiki-chan likes you.
[19:23] ---
    That's why when it comes to
    school idols, Shiki-chan also...
[19:39] ---
    School idols...
[19:54] ---
    I see how it is.
[19:57] ---
    I never thought you felt the same.
[20:00] ---
    I don't. I don't like them.
[20:03] ---
    It's just you seemed interested in them,
    so I looked into them.
[20:11] ---
    Your face is bright red.
[20:15] ---
    I can't even smile properly.
    I'd never be able to be a school idol.
[20:21] ---
    Then where does that put me?
[20:24] ---
    You're fine, because you're cute.
[20:27] ---
    You're way cuter than I am.
[20:28] ---
    I am not!
[20:33] ---
    You are.
[20:34] ---
    D-Don't say that.
[20:39] ---
    We're both alike and we were
    lucky enough to meet each other.
[20:42] ---
    Why don't we try being a bit more honest?
[20:49] ---
    I think I'll be able to give it my all
    with you by my side.
[21:14] ---
    We gained two new members starting today.
[21:20] ---
    Th-Thanks for having me!
[21:22] ---
    I guess we're gonna have to work on
    those smiles before we start any steps.
[21:27] ---
    Oh, fine. I'll show you how it's done.
[21:30] ---
    --Galax--
    --No one asked.
[21:31] ---
    At least let me finish!
[21:34] ---
    Prez.
[21:35] ---
    Yup!
[21:36] ---
    We have more members now,
    so why don't we try that one thing?
[21:39] ---
    One thing?
[21:41] ---
    This is our little good luck charm
    before we perform!
[21:44] ---
    What?! Oh, I couldn't!
    I possibly couldn't!
[21:48] ---
    You're fine.
[21:50] ---
    Yuigaoka Girls'
    High School Idol Club, Liella!
[21:53] ---
    Let's continue to have our songs
    be heard by even more people!
[21:57] ---
    Mei-chan!
[21:58] ---
    S-Song for me!
[22:01] ---
    Song for you.
[22:03] ---
    Song for all!
[22:08] ---
    Beyond the dream I'm chasing,
    I'd always see
[22:13] ---
    This star called hope,
    and because it shines, because it shines
[22:21] ---
    Even if I stumbled,
    I could keep moving forward
[22:26] ---
    Just where am I headed
    beyond this dream I'm chasing?
[22:35] ---
    We'll get lost again among our encounters
[22:39] ---
    But we can enjoy that, too
[22:44] ---
    When you're able to do something that you
    thought seemed possible but wasn't
[22:48] ---
    It makes you so happy that you want to
    work hard and your heart wants to pop out
[22:55] ---
    Ah
[22:57] ---
    We want to tell everyone
    to laugh more and sing more
[23:02] ---
    So let's keep going even further
[23:06] ---
    The world keeps expanding and
    some of the scenery might change
[23:11] ---
    But our passion will never change!
[23:14] ---
    There are dreams we want to see come true
    by overcoming a lot of frustration
[23:20] ---
    Come on, everyone,
    let's make them come true
[23:24] ---
    I wonder what kind of excitement
    we'll play tomorrow
[23:29] ---
    Let's change the future!
[23:36] ---

    Previously on Love Live! Superstar!!
[00:04] ---
    Mei is a first-year
    who loves school idols.
[00:06] ---
    I told you! I ain't interested!
[00:08] ---
    Because Mei is awkward,
    she ends up butting heads even with me.
[00:12] ---
    Just look at my face and personality!
[00:14] ---
    Then don't come to
    the science room anymore.
[00:16] ---
    You're hesitating
    because of Shiki-chan, right?
[00:19] ---
    Because of Mei, I ended up
    interested in school idols as well.
[00:22] ---
    We're both alike and we were
    lucky enough to meet each other.
[00:25] ---
    Why don't we try being a bit more honest?
[00:28] ---
    And so, Liella! now had eight members.
[00:31] ---
    They joined the School Idol Club?
[00:33] ---
    Really? Yoneme-san and Wakana-san?
[00:35] ---
    Yup! You betcha!
[00:37] ---
    We gained two new members
    from my grade at once!
[00:40] ---
    I guess we'll have to
    support you even more now.
[00:42] ---
    Maybe one of you will be center someday.
[00:45] ---
    Oh, no! I'm nowhere near
    our senpais' levels!

[00:52] ---
    My views aren't growing at all-- Ow!
    That moving company job is oni-intense.
[00:58] ---
    Look!
[00:59] ---
    Liella! got even more followers again!
[01:02] ---
    You're right!
[01:03] ---
    Liella!...?
[01:06] ---
    "Following 325"
    "Followers 113,620"
[01:06] ---
    What the?
[01:07] ---
    To think they had gained
    so many followers suddenly...
[01:15] ---
    I know! I'll take advantage of this!
[01:20] ---
    Money... It's all about money!
[01:27] ---
    We're now going to fight
[01:29] ---
    Let's create our own wind
[01:33] ---
    We're going to climb
[01:35] ---
    We're never going to lose,
    we're going to win!
[01:40] ---
    More, more, more!!
[01:49] ---
    Let's always surpass
[01:51] ---
    Who we were yesterday
[01:55] ---
    Even if we don't know
[01:57] ---
    Just how much we can do,
    we're always fired up
[02:00] ---
    I want to smile together with you
[02:02] ---
    I want to know about worlds
    I've yet to discover
[02:05] ---
    I'm going to become stronger
[02:08] ---
    I don't wanna give up
[02:11] ---
    Are you ready? Let's start up right now!
[02:16] ---
    We're going to aim for the top
[02:19] ---
    More than now, more than ever
[02:22] ---
    Our hearts are pounding
[02:26] ---
    Let's make it come true!
[02:27] ---
    Right at this moment, as much as we can
[02:30] ---
    We're dreaming,
    because that's all we can do
[02:33] ---
    We met, so this wish gives us passion
[02:38] ---
    We can go
[02:41] ---
    Let's make the impossible happen
[02:46] ---
    We're going to continue believing,
    so WE WILL!
[02:57] ---
    "Money Makes the World Go Round"
[02:59] ---
    Ta-dah!
[03:01] ---
    I have made the club room bigger
    to better welcome our new members!
[03:05] ---
    You didn't do that all yourself!
[03:07] ---
    We have to thank the director
    who helped us out, too.
[03:10] ---
    I guess they do expect
    great things from us.
[03:13] ---
    I tried changing up our
    training regimen a bit, too.
[03:16] ---
    We have more first-years now, so I figured
    we could all start where we need to.
[03:20] ---
    Way to go, Chi-chan!
[03:23] ---
    Those steps are hard.
[03:25] ---
    Agreed.
[03:26] ---
    Wait, how the heck are you
    still standing, Shiki?
[03:29] ---
    I'm just barely standing.
[03:31] ---
    Do you have dance experience?
[03:33] ---
    None.
[03:34] ---
    Could it be that you watched some
    school idol videos and practiced at home?
[03:39] ---
    Well...
[03:41] ---
    No need to be embarrassed! We all do that.
[03:46] ---
    Mei-chan, too?
[03:48] ---
    Just a little...
[03:50] ---
    But that's not all that Mei can do.
[04:07] ---
    That's about it.
[04:09] ---
    You're amazing, Mei-chan!
[04:10] ---
    This will breathe new life
    into our song writing!
[04:13] ---
    Wait, wait, wait, no way!
[04:16] ---
    I'm so jealous.
[04:17] ---
    Mei loves music and idols.
[04:20] ---
    Only a little bit, dang it.
[04:22] ---
    Meanwhile, I...
[04:25] ---
    Don't say that.
[04:27] ---
    I know you have a bunch of lyrics
    written in your notebook.
[04:30] ---
    That's... I'm just writing down
    some nice words that come into my head.
[04:35] ---
    In that case, my piano's
    nothing compared to Ren-senpai.
[04:40] ---
    Or my dance...
[04:41] ---
    You're fine just as you are.
[04:43] ---
    If you were all great already,
    we couldn't call ourselves your senpais.
[04:48] ---
    As long as you work hard and practice
    so you can continue to grow.
[04:51] ---
    You've all just only begun.
[04:57] ---
    And yet...
[04:59] ---
    All of the second-years are amazing...
[05:02] ---
    Right?
[05:03] ---
    I wonder if we'll be as good as them
    around this time next year.
[05:11] ---
    Highly doubtful.
[05:13] ---
    We have to do something.
[05:17] ---
    Because those three joined,
    the club's popularity
[05:20] ---
    among the first-years has sky-rocketed.
[05:23] ---
    I should've taken advantage
    of this ages ago.
[05:27] ---
    "Followers"
    "Video Views"
    "Overall Profit"
[05:27] ---
    Liella!'s follower count
    and video views...
[05:30] ---
    If we throw in some Oninattsu
    production value into the mix...
[05:38] ---
    I smell money...
[05:41] ---
    Money is everything in this world!
[05:46] ---
    Another new...
[05:47] ---
    ...first-year?
[05:48] ---
    We're suddenly getting a lot.
[05:50] ---
    We must've really gotten through
    to the first-years.
[05:53] ---
    So the time has finally come...
[05:56] ---
    I guess we finally have nine!
[05:57] ---
    Well, yeah. Because that's
    what comes after eight.
[06:00] ---
    You really don't understand
    anything, Sumire.
[06:03] ---
    Nine is a very special number
    when it comes to school idols.
[06:05] ---
    Yeah! There are countless
    legendary school idols
[06:08] ---
    that made the miracle of nine come true.
[06:10] ---
    Really?
[06:11] ---
    Apparently.
[06:12] ---
    "Legend"
[06:12] ---
    Which means finally...
[06:13] ---
    "Legend"
    "Legend"
[06:13] ---
    Liella! has gained the right to become
    legendary school idols, too.
[06:17] ---
    --Um...
    --Yes?
[06:19] ---
    "Legend"
    "Legend"
[06:19] ---
    Sorry to bring this up...
[06:21] ---
    Yes?
[06:21] ---
    "Legend"
    "Legend"
[06:21] ---
    ...when you're all having so much fun...
[06:24] ---
    "Legend"
[06:24] ---
    What?
[06:26] ---
    You're not here to join?
[06:27] ---
    So we got excited over nothing?
[06:29] ---
    You two just put
    the cart before the horse.
[06:31] ---
    Then how can we help you?
[06:37] ---
    "Oninattsu Inc. CEO"
[06:37] ---
    My name is Natsumi Onitsuka.
[06:41] ---
    CEO?
[06:43] ---
    I got one of those before, too.
[06:45] ---
    You don't know what it means?
[06:46] ---
    It means chief executive officer
    and president.
[06:48] ---
    Everyone in show business knows that.
[06:51] ---
    Which means...
[06:52] ---
    Yes. I am the head of
    a little company called
[06:55] ---
    Oninattsu that concentrates
    on making videos.
[06:59] ---
    You're the president? Even though
    you're just in high school?
[07:02] ---
    That's not too uncommon these days.
[07:05] ---
    So how can we help you?
[07:08] ---
    Right. I have something
    I'd like to discuss with you today.
[07:11] ---
    Discuss?
[07:13] ---
    Yes, you see...
[07:15] ---
    "The Oninattsu Channel
    Presents
    I tried producing Liella!!"
[07:16] ---
    My company would like to
    produce you, Liella!
[07:20] ---
    Yay! Clap, clap!
[07:24] ---
    What does produce mean?
[07:26] ---
    Simply put, planning and promotion.
[07:28] ---
    Yes! Exactly! Precisely!
[07:30] ---
    "Oninattsu Channel"
[07:30] ---
    We'll have you stream.
[07:32] ---
    We'll use the internet to show
    how amazing Liella! is to everyone.
[07:33] ---
    "Oninattsu SHOP"
    "Hype! Cool!"
[07:35] ---
    This is all so... mature.
[07:37] ---
    Not true at all.
[07:39] ---
    There are plenty of high schoolers
    producing themselves these days.
[07:44] ---
    True, if we were able to have
    someone handle all of this,
[07:47] ---
    we could concentrate on our training.
[07:49] ---
    Yes.
[07:50] ---
    That's not a bad idea.
[07:52] ---
    Wait. Just so you know, we have no money.
[07:56] ---
    I'm aware of that. Have no fear.
[08:01] ---
    "I will not receive any compensation.
[08:03] ---
    But Oninattsu Inc.
    will be taking any revenue
[08:05] ---
    made from the videos
    to cover production costs."
[08:10] ---
    Wait, you agreed to this?!
[08:12] ---
    Yeah. It's not like we're
    doing this for money.
[08:16] ---
    --But...
    --I finished handing them out.
[08:19] ---
    Let us begin!
[08:22] ---
    The poor and beggar will
    put their good cards in here.
[08:26] ---
    Give us one of your cards, too.
[08:29] ---
    I shall bless you.
[08:32] ---
    Curse you, you rotten billionaire!
    Flaunting your privilege!
[08:35] ---
    Just you wait.
[08:37] ---
    This is the third time in a row
    we've been the poor and the beggar.
[08:41] ---
    What are you smiling for?
    At least be a little angry!
[08:44] ---
    But this is more relaxing for me...
[08:47] ---
    People will think we're nuts
    playing this card game outside!
[08:51] ---
    Revolution! Revolution, I say!
[08:52] ---
    Let us signal our counterattack!
[08:55] ---
    What cards do you have
    right now? Let's trade.
[08:58] ---
    No cheating.
[09:00] ---
    I'm sorry, Kanon.
    My room is so small...
[09:04] ---
    No, it's okay!
[09:06] ---
    But is this really going to
    help promote us?
[09:10] ---
    Have no fear!
[09:12] ---
    We're just capturing your everyday lives,
[09:15] ---
    so don't you worry your pretty
    little heads, and enjoy the game.
[09:19] ---
    Okay, we're going to
    shoot the opening now.
[09:22] ---
    Oninattsu!
[09:24] ---
    I'm here to make sure
    your heart gets its fill of oni!
[09:26] ---
    I'm Oninattsu, AKA, Natsumi Onitsuka!
[09:29] ---
    Today, school idols from
    my school will be appearing!
[09:34] ---
    Ever since I became an Ltuber,
    I always thought...
[09:37] ---
    I want to meet Liella! and find out
    why they're so popular!
[09:41] ---
    She's so excited.
[09:44] ---
    I will now get up close and personal into
    the daily lives of Liella!
[09:49] ---
    Don't film me. Film Sumire-chan!
[09:52] ---
    Hey!
[09:53] ---
    Sumire, it's your turn.
[09:56] ---
    Just you wait, dang it!
[10:01] ---
    Okay, let's continue!
[10:03] ---
    But...
[10:04] ---
    At this rate, Keke-senpai's going to
    become the billionaire again.
[10:08] ---
    That's why I said we should
    keep the three spades rule.
[10:11] ---
    I don't think we're supposed to
    play this with eight people...
[10:14] ---
    Then I'll drop out the next game.
[10:17] ---
    Me, too.
[10:17] ---
    Wait, then there's no point.
[10:24] ---
    What is this?
[10:26] ---
    A gaming console.
[10:27] ---
    A game?! This?
[10:28] ---
    You've never seen one, Ren-chan?
[10:31] ---
    No. Actually...
[10:33] ---
    I wonder what's going on.
[10:35] ---
    Hey! What's going on up there?
    How long are you going to make us wait?
[10:43] ---
    A five! You need a five!
[10:45] ---
    Here I go!
[10:47] ---
    So close!
[10:48] ---
    Okay, now's our chance to turn
    things around! Mei-chan, it's all you!
[10:51] ---
    Me?!
[10:52] ---
    We're on the same team!
    A ten! We need a ten!
[10:57] ---
    Okay!
[11:00] ---
    I-I did it!
[11:02] ---
    You're amazing, Mei-chan!
[11:03] ---
    Yay!
[11:07] ---
    No pictures! That goes for you, too!
[11:09] ---
    I'm filming.
[11:10] ---
    How dare you all leave us out there!
[11:15] ---
    Great job today!
[11:18] ---
    The games were actually pretty fun.
[11:20] ---
    And we got to see a side of Ren-chan
    we'd never seen before.
[11:22] ---
    I did it! I'm first again!
[11:25] ---
    And she's hooked.
[11:26] ---
    I'll be going now.
[11:28] ---
    See you tomorrow.
[11:30] ---
    Natsumi-chan, all we did was
    play around today. Is that okay?
[11:34] ---
    Of course! Fans have actually
    been waiting for videos like this.
[11:38] ---
    Well, I'll go ahead and edit this
    and put it up later.
[11:43] ---
    That was a lot of fun.
[11:45] ---
    Yeah.
[11:46] ---
    We're all pretty normal usually.
[11:49] ---
    Yeah.
[11:50] ---
    When we're practicing,
    all of our senpais are so amazing,
[11:53] ---
    so it was hard to
    get closer to them, but...
[11:56] ---
    Maybe they're not totally
    out of our league after all...
[12:01] ---
    Nope, I was wrong...
[12:03] ---
    I can't move...
[12:05] ---
    Sorry. Was that a bit too hard?
[12:07] ---
    Thinking about how
    the regional prelims will be after
[12:10] ---
    summer vacation just made me go harder.
[12:12] ---
    It is getting hotter, so the same
    regimen may become harder.
[12:18] ---
    Let's keep an eye on our pace.
[12:22] ---
    Money...
[12:24] ---
    Here we go...
[12:27] ---
    "I played with Liella!"
    "Oninattsu Channel"
    "3620 Subscribers"
[12:27] ---
    The views... The views...
[12:31] ---
    They're turning into money!
[12:35] ---
    "Oninattsu Inc." "Onitsuka Store"
[12:38] ---
    Money makes the world go round!
[12:42] ---
    And it's finally coming back towards me...
[12:49] ---
    Love Live! Superstar!!
[12:52] ---
    Oninattsu!
[12:54] ---
    I'm here to make sure
    your heart gets its fill of oni!
[12:56] ---
    I'm Oninattsu, AKA Natsumi Onitsuka!
[12:59] ---
    I'm finally here to give you up close
    and personal view of Liella!'s practice.
[13:03] ---
    What kind of training does Liella!,
    the hopefuls to win the next Love Live, do?
[13:07] ---
    All you fans and school idols
    should check this video out!
[13:12] ---
    If you're interested,
    make sure you like and subscribe!
[13:13] ---
    "Like and Subscribe"
[13:17] ---
    Because that's what fulfills my heart.
[13:20] ---
    Man, that's annoying.
[13:21] ---
    It's so hot today.
[13:23] ---
    I'm a bit worried.
[13:25] ---
    Okay, let's introduce the new
    first-years that just joined Liella!
[13:31] ---
    What's the matter? You all seem so gloomy.
[13:33] ---
    No, it's nothing.
[13:35] ---
    We're going to be filming all day again?
[13:38] ---
    Of course!
[13:39] ---
    We made bank on the gaming video
    the other day!
[13:43] ---
    Meaning with practice footage...
[13:45] ---
    Made bank?
[13:46] ---
    Oh, it's nothing.
[13:47] ---
    Sorry we're late.
[13:48] ---
    Nattsu!
[13:50] ---
    We need to talk.
[13:52] ---
    Um, now's not the best time...
[13:54] ---
    We need to talk about practice.
[13:56] ---
    Oh, that.
[14:01] ---
    Nattsu!
[14:03] ---
    We will now hand out
    our practice plans for summer.
[14:06] ---
    Wow, every day?
[14:07] ---
    Are we really doing all of this?
[14:09] ---
    Of course we are! The great Sunny Pas
    will be competing again this year.
[14:14] ---
    I did balance this all out so we won't
    overwork ourselves though.
[14:18] ---
    It is a little rough since
    if we don't beat Sunny Pas,
[14:21] ---
    we won't be able to go to the nationals.
[14:23] ---
    Right... I guess we do have to
    go up against Sunny Pas.
[14:27] ---
    Are they that amazing?
[14:28] ---
    Well, they did win
    the Love Live last year!
[14:31] ---
    Pa--
[14:33] ---
    And we have the school fair
    after summer vacation.
[14:36] ---
    It'd be nice to sing there, too.
[14:39] ---
    Which means we need one more song?
[14:41] ---
    That's heavy.
[14:42] ---
    That might be asking a bit too much
    from the first-years.
[14:46] ---
    True...
[14:48] ---
    I guess we could have the first-years
    concentrate on the regional prelims,
[14:50] ---
    and the second-years could concentrate
    on the school fair, as well...
[14:55] ---
    Kanon?
[14:58] ---
    I don't think that'll work.
[15:00] ---
    Kanon-senpai.
[15:01] ---
    Because the eight of us are now Liella!
[15:04] ---
    We're going to sing in front of
    everyone at our school, right?
[15:07] ---
    Everyone's looking forward to that.
[15:11] ---
    I agree with Kanon-chan.
[15:14] ---
    You can just do the best you can,
    so why don't we try it?
[15:18] ---
    I don't think it has to be perfect.
[15:20] ---
    I think the most important thing is
    to sing together with all eight of us.
[15:28] ---
    I'm okay with that.
[15:29] ---
    Me, too.
[15:33] ---
    All right.
[15:34] ---
    Mei-chan! Everyone...
[15:38] ---
    I see. So that's how this all works.
[15:43] ---
    Something wrong?
[15:44] ---
    Oh, no!
[15:47] ---
    Okay, let's go running.
[15:49] ---
    What are you going to do, Natsumi-chan?
[15:50] ---
    Um... I guess I'll film you
    and follow along.
[15:58] ---
    This is for subscribers! For money!
[16:02] ---
    I can use Liella! for both!
[16:06] ---
    What is with you people?
[16:09] ---
    Great job, everyone! Here's some water.
[16:12] ---
    Thank you!
[16:13] ---
    Thanks.
[16:15] ---
    Agreed.
[16:17] ---
    You can take your time and rest.
[16:21] ---
    You all just exercised that much
    and aren't out of breath at all...
[16:25] ---
    Right?
[16:26] ---
    Just how much did they train?
[16:28] ---
    Let's not push too much
    and call it for today.
[16:31] ---
    We can walk back to the school.
[16:33] ---
    I will do my best...
[16:35] ---
    This is all for the views and money...
[16:38] ---
    Okay!
[16:40] ---
    Now let's get a few words from all of you.
[16:43] ---
    Huh? Aren't we just getting
    practice footage today?
[16:46] ---
    Oh, don't be like that!
    This is for Liella!'s PR.
[16:49] ---
    Now look at the camera, smile,
    and tell everyone how you're feeling.
[16:54] ---
    Um... Uh...
[16:57] ---
    I'm Kanon Shibuya from Liella!
[17:00] ---
    My favorite food is...
[17:01] ---
    This isn't an intro video.
    Be more natural. Smile.
[17:06] ---
    U-Um...
[17:13] ---
    Kanon!
[17:14] ---
    She retreated.
[17:16] ---
    No, she straight up ran away.
[17:18] ---
    Oh, bother...
[17:19] ---
    Oh, well. In that case...
[17:23] ---
    I have something I need to
    talk to you about this.
[17:26] ---
    Ltube?
[17:28] ---
    What brought this on?
[17:30] ---
    I took a look at our video
    from the other day,
[17:33] ---
    and it had a decent amount of views.
[17:35] ---
    Er, that's great...
[17:38] ---
    You mentioned something
    about producing us,
[17:40] ---
    but are you using that as an excuse
    to make money off of us?
[17:44] ---
    Uh...
[17:45] ---
    I was wondering what
    you were going to say,
[17:47] ---
    but don't assume everyone is
    as conniving as you, Sumire.
[17:51] ---
    Yeah, not to mention, today...
[17:52] ---
    Actually, I was looking into it, too.
[17:56] ---
    At this rate, the amount of money
    she'll be making is...
[18:02] ---
    This much?!
[18:03] ---
    I had no idea!
[18:04] ---
    Without telling us?
[18:07] ---
    Well, um... This is just...
[18:09] ---
    Could you explain things properly?
[18:11] ---
    This is a no-go in show business.
[18:17] ---
    Look! The legendary god
    Money Tiger is right there!
[18:20] ---
    Hey!
[18:23] ---
    Huh?
[18:27] ---
    Natsumi-chan?
[18:29] ---
    Yes, if what Sumire-san said is correct.
[18:32] ---
    I guess you are pretty sharp
    when it comes to money.
[18:35] ---
    Could you say it nicer?
[18:36] ---
    What do you think, Kanon-chan?
[18:39] ---
    I... Why don't we keep an eye
    on things a little longer?
[18:44] ---
    Huh?
[18:45] ---
    I'm not saying that
    you're wrong, Sumire-chan.
[18:49] ---
    But I think there's
    something more to this.
[18:53] ---
    No?
[18:56] ---
    You're all such pushovers.
[18:58] ---
    If I say no here,
    I'm gonna end up the bad guy.
[19:03] ---
    Sorry.
[19:06] ---
    Okay, see you all at school tomorrow.
[19:08] ---
    If you see Natsumi-chan,
    tell her we're not worried about it.
[19:11] ---
    Roger!
[19:13] ---
    I sent her a message.
[19:14] ---
    Bye!
[19:15] ---
    Great job today.
[19:18] ---
    I wonder where Natsumi-chan went off to.
[19:22] ---
    "Mei: They said don't worry about it."
    "A-Okay"
[19:23] ---
    It says read...
[19:25] ---
    What do you think?
[19:26] ---
    I think what Sumire-senpai
    said is the truth.
[19:30] ---
    But just like Kanon-senpai said,
    I think there's more to Natsumi-chan.
[19:35] ---
    I don't dislike Natsumi-chan either.
[19:39] ---
    You there...
[19:41] ---
    Where...?
[19:42] ---
    Right over here.
[19:44] ---
    Where are you?
[19:45] ---
    Nattsu!
[19:47] ---
    Now, now, now...
[19:50] ---
    So you're not really mad?
[19:54] ---
    Nope. They said they'd like you
    to come again tomorrow.
[19:57] ---
    Yes.
[19:58] ---
    You're all bigger pushovers
    than I thought.
[20:01] ---
    Pushovers?
[20:03] ---
    Oh, nothing. All right,
    I'll be there tomorrow as usual.
[20:05] ---
    Does that mean you're going to
    continue uploading videos?
[20:09] ---
    But of course! That's my job!
[20:14] ---
    Is something wrong?
[20:16] ---
    No, it's the truth,
    so we can't do much, but...
[20:19] ---
    If Liella! fans happen to see
    the singing and dancing videos,
[20:23] ---
    as well as the daily life ones...
[20:25] ---
    We figured they'd be able
    to see the difference
[20:29] ---
    in skill between the first
    and second-years.
[20:32] ---
    Well...
[20:34] ---
    They'll probably laugh at us.
[20:36] ---
    Indubitably.
[20:45] ---
    I just thought of something.
[20:47] ---
    We're all first-years.
[20:51] ---
    I'd like to discuss something
    with all of you.
[20:56] ---
    What?!
[20:57] ---
    Please!
[20:58] ---
    You want to do your own thing
    during summer vacation?
[21:01] ---
    Did we do something to upset you?
[21:04] ---
    Tell us if we did! We'll fix it!
[21:06] ---
    No, not at all!
[21:08] ---
    It's just, if we're with all of you,
    we'll end up causing you trouble.
[21:14] ---
    So we want some time
    to reflect on ourselves.
[21:19] ---
    Girls...
[21:21] ---
    Okay. As the president, I will allow this.
[21:24] ---
    Chi-chan...
[21:25] ---
    Sorry... But I understand how they feel.
[21:31] ---
    Because I was like that, too.
[21:35] ---
    Chisato-senpai...
[21:36] ---
    We'll do our best, too,
[21:38] ---
    so show us how much you can grow
    over summer vacation.
[21:45] ---
    Right!
[21:48] ---
    All according to plan,
    all according to plan.
[21:52] ---
    They split up... Now to put
    my plan into action...
[22:01] ---
    Money... I smell money!
[22:08] ---
    Beyond the dream I'm chasing,
    I'd always see
[22:13] ---
    This star called hope,
    and because it shines, because it shines
[22:21] ---
    Even if I stumbled,
    I could keep moving forward
[22:26] ---
    Just where am I headed
    beyond this dream I'm chasing?
[22:35] ---
    We'll get lost again among our encounters
[22:39] ---
    But we can enjoy that, too
[22:44] ---
    When you're able to do something that you
    thought seemed possible but wasn't
[22:48] ---
    It makes you so happy that you want to
    work hard and your heart wants to pop out
[22:55] ---
    Ah
[22:57] ---
    We want to tell everyone
    to laugh more and sing more
[23:02] ---
    So let's keep going even further
[23:06] ---
    The world keeps expanding and
    some of the scenery might change
[23:11] ---
    But our passion will never change!
[23:14] ---
    There are dreams we want to see come true
    by overcoming a lot of frustration
[23:20] ---
    Come on, everyone,
    let's make them come true

    Previously on Love Live! Superstar!!
[00:04] ---
    After Shiki and I joined, Liella! finally
    became eight members, but...
[00:10] ---
    All of the second-years are amazing...
[00:12] ---
    Right?
[00:13] ---
    We tried getting closer to them in
    various ways, but it didn't go so well.
[00:17] ---
    The one who had been observing that was...
[00:19] ---
    Oninattsu!
[00:20] ---
    The first-year, Natsumi Onitsuka.
[00:23] ---
    Natsumi mentions that
    she wants to produce Liella!
[00:26] ---
    But apparently she had
    her own secret goals.
[00:32] ---
    A group... name?
[00:34] ---
    Yes! You're going to be
    Liella!'s sister group!
[00:38] ---
    Meaning you'll need a new group name!
[00:40] ---
    For example...
[00:41] ---
    "Full Power #"
[00:42] ---
    ...something like this.
[00:43] ---
    Full Power #?
[00:45] ---
    Th-Then maybe... this?
[00:48] ---
    That looks like a magazine name.
[00:49] ---
    Not to mention,
    we're not Liella!'s sister group.
[00:52] ---
    I-I know that. U-Um...
[00:55] ---
    What I'm trying to say is... a unit!
    Yes! Your unit name!
[01:01] ---
    Just for... this summer...
[01:04] ---
    --Natsumi-chan!
    --Yes?!
[01:05] ---
    The reason we distanced ourselves
    from our senpais to practice
[01:08] ---
    is so we could get closer to their level.
[01:11] ---
    We want to help Liella! in their victory.
[01:14] ---
    Yes, yes, right, right. I know.
[01:17] ---
    If we...
[01:18] ---
    If we can't help Liella! out, I have
    no intention of being a school idol.
[01:23] ---
    At least, I don't.
[01:24] ---
    Me, too.
[01:25] ---
    I-I know that. This was
    just an idea. Yes, an idea.
[01:31] ---
    They're more stubborn
    than I thought they'd be.
[01:33] ---
    I thought I'd be able to do whatever
    I want with them if I split them up...
[01:36] ---
    But I'm not going to give up!
[01:40] ---
    Now, then. Let's try this again.
    I'm going to film everyone's daily life...
[01:48] ---
    Huh?
[01:50] ---
    We're now going to fight
[01:52] ---
    Let's create our own wind
[01:56] ---
    We're going to climb
[01:58] ---
    We're never going to lose,
    we're going to win!
[02:04] ---
    More, more, more!!
[02:12] ---
    Let's always surpass
[02:14] ---
    Who we were yesterday
[02:18] ---
    Even if we don't know
[02:20] ---
    Just how much we can do,
    we're always fired up
[02:23] ---
    I want to smile together with you
[02:25] ---
    I want to know about worlds
    I've yet to discover
[02:29] ---
    I'm going to become stronger
[02:31] ---
    I don't wanna give up
[02:34] ---
    Are you ready? Let's start up right now!
[02:39] ---
    We're going to aim for the top
[02:42] ---
    More than now, more than ever
[02:45] ---
    Our hearts are pounding
[02:49] ---
    Let's make it come true!
[02:50] ---
    Right at this moment, as much as we can
[02:53] ---
    We're dreaming,
    because that's all we can do
[02:56] ---
    We met, so this wish gives us passion
[03:01] ---
    We can go
[03:04] ---
    Let's make the impossible happen
[03:09] ---
    We're going to continue believing,
    so WE WILL!
[03:21] ---
    Hey! Huh?
[03:25] ---
    What's wrong?
[03:26] ---
    Things seem super heavy in that corner.
[03:31] ---
    This is your time to shine,
    childhood friend.
[03:35] ---
    What's the matter?
[03:40] ---
    I was wondering what we did wrong.
[03:42] ---
    Wrong?
[03:43] ---
    Yeah. We finally got first-years to join,
[03:46] ---
    and I thought we'd all have fun training
    together over summer vacation.
[03:51] ---
    Remember what the first-years said?
    It's not our fault.
[03:56] ---
    But...
[03:58] ---
    Hiyah!
[04:00] ---
    They said they want to
    try things on their own.
[04:03] ---
    I think that's really great.
[04:07] ---
    Precisely.
[04:09] ---
    Girls.
[04:09] ---
    As their upperclassmen, there are times
    we need to quietly wait for them.
[04:14] ---
    We're going to level up ourselves
    and be a galaxy of a goal to strive for.
[04:18] ---
    Not to mention, once summer vacation
    is over, we have the regional prelims!
[04:22] ---
    And before that,
    we have the school festival.
[04:25] ---
    Yeah.
[04:30] ---
    Welcome to Kinako's hometown!
[04:33] ---
    Why though?
[04:34] ---
    Man, this place is insane.
[04:37] ---
    It's very peaceful and
    both the air and food are delicious.
[04:40] ---
    First, let's run to my house.
[04:42] ---
    Wait.
[04:44] ---
    How did we end up here?
[04:46] ---
    What? You don't remember?
[04:48] ---
    We said we were going to do a training
    camp at Kinako's place, remember?
[04:52] ---
    My neck is stuck...
[04:53] ---
    ...because of that bus.
[04:55] ---
    I know that! But why am I here, too?!
[04:58] ---
    Because you said you'd film us.
[05:01] ---
    You said you'd follow us
    anywhere and get footage
[05:04] ---
    of us anywhere in order to produce us.
[05:06] ---
    --You did.
    --That's my duty!
[05:09] ---
    That wasn't meant to be
    taken literally! This is insane!
[05:13] ---
    So about the travel costs...
[05:15] ---
    Er, that's...
[05:17] ---
    My money... The most important thing
    after my life... My money...
[05:22] ---
    We're going to run to
    Kinako-chan's house from here.
[05:29] ---
    What is this?!
[05:30] ---
    It's a running machine.
[05:35] ---
    Wait! Wait!
[05:36] ---
    Wait!
[05:39] ---
    Which way to your house, Kinako-chan?
[05:41] ---
    That way.
[05:42] ---
    What are we gonna do?
[05:43] ---
    Reverse.
[05:44] ---
    Stop this thing now!
[05:52] ---
    There, there. You've gotten so big.
[05:55] ---
    I'm dead.
[05:56] ---
    Are you okay?
[05:57] ---
    Of course I'm not okay!
[06:00] ---
    Just how much do you need
    to train to be satisfied?
[06:04] ---
    What do you expect?
    We said we were gonna help Liella! out.
[06:08] ---
    Yes, but...
[06:11] ---
    They want you to cheer up.
[06:13] ---
    You can tell?
[06:14] ---
    Of course! Now, once we
    get changed, let's train.
[06:34] ---
    Welcome home!
[06:39] ---
    Thanks for coming all this way.
    Please eat all you'd like.
[06:43] ---
    This looks great!
[06:45] ---
    What a big house.
[06:47] ---
    Well, we run a boarding house.
[06:49] ---
    Then I guess it really is perfect
    for a training camp.
[06:52] ---
    Natsumi-chan sure is taking a while.
[06:55] ---
    I think she was in her room.
[06:58] ---
    Oninattsu! Today, I'll be showing you
    this Oninattsu stamina smoothie!
[07:07] ---
    These smoothie videos
    never make me any money.
[07:08] ---
    "Oninattsu Summer Smoothie:
    Full of Stamina"
    "50 views"
[07:11] ---
    Then I need to edit the training footage
    from today really well, and...
[07:14] ---
    "Super Popular School Idols Liella!
    Faces Internal Strife?!"
[07:16] ---
    I think something more
    impactful might be better.
[07:19] ---
    "Super Popular School Idols Liella!
    Countdown to Break up!!"
[07:23] ---
    But at its core,
    it's just some training footage.
[07:26] ---
    Well, whatever.
    This should get those views up,
[07:29] ---
    and the money will come rolling in.
[07:31] ---
    "Liella! countdown to"...
[07:34] ---
    What's wrong?
[07:37] ---
    Oh, nothing. Nothing at all...
[07:39] ---
    It's time for food.
[07:40] ---
    I'll be right there.
    I got so caught up in editing.
[07:44] ---
    Is that the training footage from today?
[07:46] ---
    Huh? Well, um, it's nothing special.
[07:50] ---
    Um, here.
[07:51] ---
    ♬ Looking for Light ♬
[07:52] ---
    ♬ Our story is just beginning ♬
[07:52] ---
    Oh, that's our senpais' performance.
[07:55] ---
    I figured I could use it to produce you.
[07:58] ---
    This performance was so amazing.
[07:58] ---
    ♬ It can create any kind of miracle ♬
[08:01] ---
    Huh? Uh, sure.
[08:02] ---
    ♬ Sparkly dreams scatter
    and fall across the sky ♬
[08:03] ---
    I was talking to Mei-chan
    and Shiki-chan about this...
[08:05] ---
    But it's our dream to be
    able to surpass this.
[08:08] ---
    ♬ Let's gather up each and every one ♬
[08:08] ---
    Dream?
[08:10] ---
    If we're able to surpass this performance
    after we first-years joined,
[08:13] ---
    ♬ And make them all come true ♬
[08:15] ---
    that means Liella! really did power up.
[08:19] ---
    That's your dream?
[08:21] ---
    What's your dream, Natsumi-chan?
[08:23] ---
    Mine?
[08:24] ---
    You're a CEO, right?
[08:26] ---
    What's your goal?
[08:29] ---
    Nothing... really. I don't have one.
[08:32] ---
    Huh?
[08:33] ---
    If I had to choose,
    it's to make a lot of money.
[08:37] ---
    Why?
[08:38] ---
    Why? Because I won't have to
    worry when I get older then.
[08:44] ---
    Huh...
[08:45] ---
    Anyway, I'll be right there.
    You can head back down.
[08:49] ---
    Okay.
[08:58] ---
    Honestly, how stupid.
[09:02] ---
    "Up Close and Personal!
    Liella!'s Training Footage in Hokkaido!"
[09:04] ---
    Wow!
[09:05] ---
    "30,127 views"
[09:06] ---
    Are you seriously serious about this?
[09:07] ---
    "30,127 views"
[09:09] ---
    Apparently.
[09:10] ---
    I didn't know we were so popular.
[09:12] ---
    And the comments are all very positive.
[09:14] ---
    This is why I said we shouldn't be shy
    and should actively upload videos!
[09:19] ---
    Thank goodness.
[09:21] ---
    You're still not listening.
[09:22] ---
    Maybe this will give
    the first-years some confidence.
[09:26] ---
    But it's not all going to be good things.
[09:29] ---
    They could get overconfident and...
[09:35] ---
    Hey, you don't get to stand there.
[09:39] ---
    Starting today,
    you're going to be our backup.
[09:42] ---
    Yeah.
[09:43] ---
    It could happen!
[09:44] ---
    The only one that's
    that twisted is you, Sumire.
[09:47] ---
    Think of a better quip next time!
[09:48] ---
    More importantly, the one I'm
    worried about is that Natsumi girl.
[09:52] ---
    I can't help but think that
    she's only helping us out
[09:54] ---
    because she's plotting something.
[09:57] ---
    I was worried about that, too.
[09:59] ---
    I think we should sit down
    and talk to Natsumi-san.
[10:03] ---
    But they're in Hokkaido.
[10:05] ---
    What do you think, Chi-chan?
[10:06] ---
    Huh? Sorry, I wasn't listening.
[10:09] ---
    What's wrong?
[10:10] ---
    Huh? Er, I was just thinking.
[10:14] ---
    If they're able to do all this already,
[10:15] ---
    maybe we should raise the difficulty
    a bit to get their confidence up.

    "Natsumi Onitsuka"
[10:40] ---
    My dream is to travel
    the world as a model.
[10:45] ---
    I haven't grown at all...
[10:52] ---
    What an awful dream.
[10:55] ---
    What?!
[10:58] ---
    We're going to be doing...
[10:59] ---
    ...the same steps as you?
[11:01] ---
    Yup. I'll send you the choreography later,
    so check it out.
[11:04] ---
    But...
[11:05] ---
    I didn't want it to be
    added pressure on all of you,
[11:07] ---
    so I was going to
    discuss this with you later,
[11:10] ---
    but after seeing that video,
    I realized you'll be fine.
[11:14] ---
    But...
[11:14] ---
    Of course, I realize
    this is going to be difficult.
[11:18] ---
    Okay...
[11:19] ---
    If you practice hard
    during summer vacation,
[11:21] ---
    I'm sure you'll make it in time
    for the school festival.
[11:24] ---
    We believe in you!
[11:25] ---
    You can do this!
    If we are all on the same level,
[11:28] ---
    it'll give us all more confidence,
[11:31] ---
    and help us get to the Love Live.
[11:33] ---
    It's easier to plan things out
    with a goal in mind.
[11:37] ---
    Yeah... I guess we are
    striving to win at the Love Live.
[11:40] ---
    Okay. We'll give it everything we've got.
[11:50] ---
    Dad?
[11:52] ---
    Yeah, yeah... What?! You forgot?!
[11:57] ---
    I'm glad our video was popular, but...
[12:01] ---
    I guess we raised
    the difficulty ourselves.
[12:03] ---
    This is too sudden, Chisato-senpai.
[12:06] ---
    We've only just started training.
[12:09] ---
    Oninattsu!
[12:12] ---
    I'm here to make sure
    your heart gets its fill of oni!
[12:14] ---
    I'm Oninattsu, AKA, Natsumi Onitsuka!
[12:16] ---
    Today, I'm getting you even more
    footage of Liella!'s training.
[12:20] ---
    Huh? But we're not training yet.
[12:23] ---
    It looks like we're slacking off.
[12:25] ---
    But you are.
[12:28] ---
    No, this is--
[12:30] ---
    We have a lot going on.
[12:33] ---
    I heard you. I was listening in.
[12:37] ---
    Then...
[12:39] ---
    Your dream is to surpass them, right?
[12:42] ---
    To surpass your senpais' performance.
    That's your dream, isn't it?
[12:47] ---
    Then...
[12:49] ---
    You should have more responsibility!
[12:51] ---
    --But...
    --If you're going to give up...
[12:53] ---
    I don't want to hear you
    talk about dreams.
[12:57] ---
    I thought about this as I was filming you.
[13:00] ---
    Your dream is not completely impossible.
[13:04] ---
    Really?
[13:06] ---
    Correct. And that's a very lovely thing.
[13:10] ---
    Having a dream that you might be able to
    attain if you work hard enough is...
[13:15] ---
    Natsumi-chan...
[13:21] ---
    All right. Back to filming!
[14:13] ---
    How's the water feel?
[14:15] ---
    It's just right. Thank you.
[14:19] ---
    No, we should be thanking you.
[14:22] ---
    Thank you for this afternoon.
[14:26] ---
    I didn't say anything that special.
[14:30] ---
    That's not true. I've been thinking...
[14:35] ---
    ...that you're amazing, Natsumi-chan.
[14:38] ---
    It's amazing having a goal.
[14:41] ---
    I told you, I don't have one.
[14:43] ---
    You're just being modest.
    If you didn't have a goal,
[14:46] ---
    there's no way you'd be CEO.
[14:48] ---
    Again, I don't have a goal!
[14:53] ---
    I really don't.
    That's why I'm doing this...
[14:57] ---
    All I can do is make money.
[15:02] ---
    But...
[15:03] ---
    I can do the rest myself,
    so you can go now.
[15:08] ---
    Didn't you hear me?
[15:10] ---
    Okay...
[15:20] ---
    Huh?
[15:22] ---
    Wh-Who's there?
[15:25] ---
    Now who is it? Is it Shiki-san? Or...
[15:32] ---
    A... A bear...
[15:34] ---
    Wh-What am I going to do?!
[15:35] ---
    Should I jump out and
    run to the boarding house?
[15:38] ---
    No, wait. There's no way I'd make it.
[15:40] ---
    Do I play dead?!
    No, I heard that doesn't work...
[15:46] ---
    It's me, it's me!
[15:48] ---
    Y-You're...
[15:56] ---
    You see, my dad forgot something,
    so I came to deliver it.
[15:58] ---
    Dressed as a bear?
[16:00] ---
    My dad gave me this. I thought I'd
    give you all a gift since I'm up here.
[16:06] ---
    Oh, keep this a secret from
    everyone back in Tokyo.
[16:09] ---
    For crying out loud... You're that worried
    about the other members?
[16:12] ---
    Of course, I am. And I'm worried
    about you, too, Natsumi-chan.
[16:16] ---
    Huh? Me?
[16:18] ---
    Yeah. I overheard you
    and Kinako-chan talking. Sorry.
[16:23] ---
    Whatever. We weren't talking about
    anything important.
[16:27] ---
    I know! I'll just have you be in
    the videos now, too, Kanon-senpai!
[16:32] ---
    Then...
[16:33] ---
    More importantly,
    want to be a school idol?
[16:36] ---
    Huh?
[16:37] ---
    I want you to be the ninth member
    of Liella!, Natsumi-chan.
[16:42] ---
    I don't see where this is going.
[16:45] ---
    Really?
[16:48] ---
    If you don't have a dream, why don't you
    try chasing our dream with us?
[16:52] ---
    Dream?
[16:53] ---
    Yeah. If you don't have a dream...
[17:00] ---
    That's impossible.
[17:01] ---
    Is it, though?
[17:02] ---
    I've dreamed so many dreams up until now,
[17:06] ---
    and realized none of them
    will ever come true.
[17:09] ---
    I'm not like you, who's allowed to dream.
[17:13] ---
    I've had plenty of setbacks, too.
[17:16] ---
    It was my dream to make it into
    the music program at Yuigaoka,
[17:19] ---
    but I failed.
[17:22] ---
    But then Keke-chan and the others
    helped me realize...
[17:27] ---
    ...that I can do it if
    I'm with all of them.
[17:31] ---
    We help make up for
    each of our shortcomings,
[17:35] ---
    so we can chase the same dream together.
[17:40] ---
    Come with me!
[17:45] ---
    Do what I do.
[17:47] ---
    Why?
[17:48] ---
    Just try it.
[17:58] ---
    Okay, next.
[18:16] ---
    Well? That felt great, didn't it?
[18:18] ---
    We get to do this together in front of
    everyone who supports us.
[18:33] ---
    And then, the audience dances
    with us, too, in their hearts.
[18:38] ---
    Everyone becomes one on that stage.
[18:42] ---
    That's the best moment ever.
[18:47] ---
    Doing performances like that is our dream.
[18:51] ---
    Dream...
[19:10] ---
    Oninattsu!
[19:12] ---
    I'm here to make sure
    your heart gets its fill of oni!
[19:14] ---
    I'm Oninattsu, AKA Natsumi Onitsuka!
[19:16] ---
    And today...
[19:18] ---
    I'm at the Yuigaoka's school festival!
[19:21] ---
    N-No, really. You don't have to
    film me. Ren-chan, go!
[19:25] ---
    Sure. I hope you all have fun today.
[19:28] ---
    We're putting even more into
    our performances this year.
[19:31] ---
    More importantly, what's going on with
    our contract with Oninattsu?
[19:35] ---
    W-Well...
[19:36] ---
    You don't need to
    worry about that. Because...
[19:39] ---
    Natsumi-chan's in Liella! now.
[19:42] ---
    A-Are you sure about this?
[19:44] ---
    Are you still saying that?
[19:46] ---
    You practiced so hard
    during our training camp.
[19:49] ---
    You worked harder than anyone else.
[19:52] ---
    Okay, here we go.
[19:58] ---
    Now we have nine.
[20:01] ---
    This is the new Liella!
[20:04] ---
    --One!
    --Two!
[20:05] ---
    --Three!
    --Four!
[20:07] ---
    --Five!
    --Six!
[20:08] ---
    --Seven!
    --Eight!
[20:10] ---
    Nine!
[20:11] ---
    Let's have the most...
[20:15] ---
    ...fun ever today!

    How did that feel?
[21:53] ---
    It was...
[21:56] ---
    It was the best...
[22:02] ---
    I think... I might've found my dream.
[22:08] ---
    Beyond the dream I'm chasing,
    I'd always see
[22:13] ---
    This star called hope,
    and because it shines, because it shines
[22:21] ---
    Even if I stumbled,
    I could keep moving forward
[22:26] ---
    Just where am I headed
    beyond this dream I'm chasing?
[22:35] ---
    We'll get lost again among our encounters
[22:39] ---
    But we can enjoy that, too
[22:44] ---
    When you're able to do something that you
    thought seemed possible but wasn't
[22:48] ---
    It makes you so happy that you want to
    work hard and your heart wants to pop out
[22:55] ---
    Ah
[22:57] ---
    We want to tell everyone
    to laugh more and sing more
[23:02] ---
    So let's keep going even further
[23:06] ---
    The world keeps expanding and
    some of the scenery might change
[23:11] ---
    But our passion will never change!
[23:14] ---
    There are dreams we want to see come true
    by overcoming a lot of frustration
[23:20] ---
    Come on, everyone,
    let's make them come true
[23:24] ---
    I wonder what kind of excitement
    we'll play tomorrow
[23:29] ---
    Let's change the future!

    We can go

    Let's make the impossible happen
[02:23] ---
    We're going to continue believing,
    so WE WILL!
[02:34] ---
    Previously on Love Live! Superstar!!
[02:36] ---
    I, Natsumi Onitsuka, tried to get close
    to Liella! so I could use them.
[02:41] ---
    I thought I had succeeded in luring
    the first-years into my plot when...
[02:43] ---
    "Super Popular School Idols Liella!
    Countdown to Break up!!"
[02:44] ---
    If we can't help Liella! out, I have
    no intention of being a school idol.
[02:48] ---
    The reason we distanced ourselves
    from our senpais to practice
[02:51] ---
    is so we could get closer to their level.
[02:53] ---
    The more time I spent with them,
[02:55] ---
    the more I became charmed
    by school idols, as well.
[02:58] ---
    Dream...
[02:59] ---
    Liella! now has nine members and is...
[03:01] ---
    ...oni awesome!
[03:03] ---
    "UR Ren Hazuki"
[03:09] ---
    "Closed for a Private Event Tonight"
[03:12] ---
    Finally... Finally...
[03:16] ---
    The details of the Love Live
    have been announced!
[03:22] ---
    What the heck are you doing?
    Better yet, what is this?
[03:26] ---
    A gift.
[03:27] ---
    We heard you liked melons.
[03:29] ---
    But man, I can't believe you guys
    can actually rent out a café like this.
[03:33] ---
    Well, it's my home.
[03:34] ---
    More importantly, this is Manmaru.
[03:37] ---
    So round...
[03:39] ---
    You didn't have to close down
    the whole place for us.
[03:41] ---
    Exactly! What a waste of money!
[03:44] ---
    I see you haven't changed.
[03:46] ---
    Of course not.
[03:47] ---
    Now that my dream is to
    become a school idol,
[03:49] ---
    I'm going to fully unleash my knowledge
    on money and being an influencer
[03:55] ---
    and support Liella!
    with everything I have!
[03:58] ---
    Yay?
[03:59] ---
    Maybe a little scary though.
[04:01] ---
    More importantly... we're talking
    about the Love Live here!
[04:03] ---
    The Love Live!
[04:05] ---
    They're just announcing it, right?
[04:06] ---
    They did that last year,
    so they'll do it again this year.
[04:09] ---
    And your lack of heart in this
    is exactly your problem, Sumire.
[04:12] ---
    So what are the details
    for this competition?
[04:14] ---
    Oh, right!
[04:16] ---
    And now, I will announce
    the details of this year's event!
[04:19] ---
    Let's see... The prelims this year
    will be done remotely
[04:22] ---
    and we can sing whatever we want.
[04:23] ---
    Hey! I'm supposed to say all that!
[04:25] ---
    Huh. So no themes like solos
    or rapping like last year?
[04:30] ---
    Looks like they're gonna do
    the prelims remotely to immediately
[04:33] ---
    narrow down who's going to
    the Tokyo Tournament.
[04:35] ---
    Meaning it's going to be even harder
    to get through the prelims.
[04:39] ---
    But we get to perform with
    whatever song we want to.
[04:42] ---
    Sheesh, you all said
    everything I wanted to...
[04:47] ---
    So what are we gonna do about the song?
[04:50] ---
    As the club president, I'd like for
    Kanon-chan to write the lyrics
[04:53] ---
    and for Ren-chan to write the song.
[04:55] ---
    Even though we have first-years now?
[04:57] ---
    But this is our first time
    competing in the Love Live.
[05:01] ---
    Me, too.
[05:02] ---
    Well, just us being there
    will be fresh enough.
[05:06] ---
    Well, that's true, but...
[05:13] ---
    Just one more achievement...
[05:16] ---
    Huh? Is she asleep?
[05:18] ---
    Sleepy times?
[05:19] ---
    Yup.
[05:20] ---
    Hello? Ren-chan. Ren-chan!
[05:25] ---
    Rolling, rolling,
    then turn around and shoot.
[05:28] ---
    --Now I parry... Oh, I need to
    calm down and heal.
[05:30] ---
    --The hell?
    --Now I parry... Oh, I need to
    calm down and heal.
[05:31] ---
    --She mustn't be getting enough sleep.
    --Okay, after the barrage...
    I throw in a guard counter.
[05:33] ---
    --She didn't come to
    the café yesterday, either.
    --Okay, after the barrage... I throw in a guard counter.
[05:35] ---
    She did mention that the student council's
    been really busy lately.
[05:39] ---
    I see...
[05:41] ---
    Just a third left...
[05:44] ---
    What did you buy?
[05:45] ---
    Angel bread!
[05:46] ---
    Ooh, give me a bite!
[05:49] ---
    Now I've got all the trophies...
[05:51] ---
    Overwork?
[05:53] ---
    Yes.
[05:54] ---
    That's why I warned her to
    add a secretary and treasurer
[05:56] ---
    and create a proper student council.
[06:00] ---
    She insists to do it herself because
    we still don't have that many students.
[06:06] ---
    If you'll excuse me.
[06:08] ---
    Kanon-san!
[06:10] ---
    I'm so sorry! I just realized
    what time it was!
[06:13] ---
    No, it's okay. More importantly,
    you seem really busy, Ren-chan.
[06:16] ---
    I'm fine! No need to worry about me!
[06:19] ---
    Er, the Love Live has
    been announced, right?
[06:22] ---
    Yeah! Which is why I wanted
    to get started on our song.
[06:27] ---
    Did Ren-senpai agree to write the song?
[06:31] ---
    I wonder if everything will be okay.
[06:33] ---
    I guess Kanon-senpai
    asked her multiple times.
[06:36] ---
    She said there was no need to worry.
[06:38] ---
    I guess she's pretty responsible.
[06:42] ---
    I forgot my notebook in the classroom.
    You guys go on ahead.
[06:47] ---
    Man, that was a close one.
[06:58] ---
    "Music Room"
[07:07] ---
    One more time.
[07:08] ---
    I knew it. That's Ren-senpai.
    The hell is she doing?
[07:11] ---
    I can do it... Almost there...
    Yes, just keep going!
[07:18] ---
    Oh, I did it again!
[07:21] ---
    The hell is that?
[07:22] ---
    Oh, the King of the Abyss, Puni Lord.
[07:25] ---
    I just can't seem to get past this part.
[07:27] ---
    Huh?
[07:30] ---
    Mei-san?
[07:34] ---
    Please! Don't tell anyone!
    Please don't tell anyone about this!
[07:38] ---
    E-Er, I, uh...
[07:39] ---
    I know! Mei-san, you like
    school idols, right?
[07:42] ---
    Very well.
[07:43] ---
    --I shall contact Sunny Passion and
    get you a picture with them immediately.
[07:44] ---
    --Er, uh... Hey!
    --I shall contact Sunny Passion and
    get you a picture with them immediately.
[07:46] ---
    Wait, was I wrong?!
[07:49] ---
    Very well. Carbonara bread.
[07:51] ---
    --Huh? Wha? Wait!
    --I shall go to the
    school store right now.
[07:54] ---
    Wait a sec! Wait, wait!
[07:56] ---
    What the hell is going on?
[08:10] ---
    You're kidding... right?
[08:11] ---
    I never expected it to get like this.
[08:14] ---
    You've been this obsessed with games?
[08:16] ---
    No... Now that I think back
    on how it started...
[08:19] ---
    Games?
[08:20] ---
    Yes. I've been so curious about them ever
    since I played one at Keke-san's house.
[08:25] ---
    I think that's lovely.
[08:28] ---
    I think you've been working
    too hard up until now.
[08:31] ---
    Why not spread your wings a bit
    and try out some hobbies?
[08:37] ---
    And so I started playing,
    thinking a little wouldn't hurt...
[08:57] ---
    Oh, no! It's so late at night!
[09:00] ---
    This will affect my studies.
[09:04] ---
    Ren-sama, your father got this for you
[09:06] ---
    because of all of the trouble
    you've gone through,
[09:09] ---
    and hoped it would strike your fancy.
[09:11] ---
    Oh, my!
[09:12] ---
    --Before I knew it,
    he sent one after another.
[09:13] ---
    --Oh, my!
    --Before I knew it,
    he sent one after another.
[09:15] ---
    Oh, my!
[09:17] ---
    Yeah, but you're clearly playing too much!
[09:19] ---
    But all of the games my father sent me
    were just so entertaining.
[09:24] ---
    For example, this one!
[09:25] ---
    Ooh, it is fun!
[09:27] ---
    I recommend this one, as well.
[09:29] ---
    Yah! Hiyah!
[09:30] ---
    --This, too.
    --I'm gonna crash!
[09:32] ---
    In that case, here's this one, too.
[09:33] ---
    Holy crap, this is amazing!
[09:34] ---
    Oh, and this is the best!
[09:39] ---
    I'm spinning!
[09:44] ---
    So as I spent every day
    living a very fulfilling gaming life...
[09:49] ---
    You stopped sleeping as much.
[09:51] ---
    Yes. Um...
[09:55] ---
    Could you possibly hold onto this for me?
[09:58] ---
    What?
[09:59] ---
    This is the key to this room.
[10:01] ---
    Just until I'm done writing the song.
[10:03] ---
    I'm certain I can concentrate on writing
    the song if I can't play any games.
[10:07] ---
    Me? Why don't you have Kanon-senpai
    or someone hold onto it?
[10:11] ---
    That is just not possible.
[10:14] ---
    I am the student council president.
[10:16] ---
    It is my duty to maintain
    order at this school.
[10:19] ---
    If anyone ever found out about this...
[10:22] ---
    "Let's be school idols"
[10:24] ---
    A school that has a student council
    president obsessed with games...
[10:28] ---
    ...could never win the Love Live!
[10:30] ---
    I'm so disappointed in you.
[10:32] ---
    Not... a circle.
[10:35] ---
    I hate you, Ren-chan.
[10:39] ---
    It will be the end of
    the School Idol Club.
[10:41] ---
    I think something seems off
    with Chisato-senpai there.
[10:45] ---
    Please! As long as games are
    out of sight, out of mind,
[10:48] ---
    I'll be able to go back to normal.
[10:52] ---
    All right.
[10:53] ---
    But...
[10:54] ---
    Maybe just one more hour...
    Or maybe half a day...
[10:58] ---
    Or maybe until tomorrow.
[11:00] ---
    Seriously.
[11:03] ---
    This is bad...
[11:06] ---
    What's that key for?
[11:08] ---
    N-Nothing!
[11:09] ---
    I wonder how Ren-senpai is doing today.
[11:12] ---
    Well, we'll just have to watch over her.
[11:15] ---
    I'm sure Ren-senpai will be fine.
[11:17] ---
    I sure hope so.
[11:19] ---
    Mei.
[11:20] ---
    You're hiding something.
[11:22] ---
    I-I am not.
[11:24] ---
    Really?
[11:26] ---
    Stop that!
[11:28] ---
    "Yuigaoka Girls' High School
    Student Council Schedule"
[11:30] ---
    "Student Council"
[11:34] ---
    Are you worried about Ren-chan?
[11:36] ---
    Yeah. She must have
    way more student council work
[11:38] ---
    ever since the first-years
    joined this school.
[11:41] ---
    There aren't any other
    candidates this year either,
[11:43] ---
    so Ren-chan's still the president.
[11:45] ---
    If only there's something
    we can help her with.
[11:49] ---
    Well, you're working hard
    as our club president.
[11:52] ---
    So you're curious.
[11:54] ---
    I ended up not running for
    student council president last year.
[12:00] ---
    I wonder if there's any way
    we can help her...
[12:02] ---
    Then why don't you try it out?
[12:03] ---
    I couldn't possibly...
[12:07] ---
    Well, I challenged myself
    and became the club president.
[12:10] ---
    "You just think you can't."
    Those are your words, Kanon-chan.
[12:17] ---
    Love Live! Superstar!!
[12:21] ---
    There she is!
[12:23] ---
    She's heading towards the club room.
[12:25] ---
    Hey.
[12:26] ---
    Don't pull on me!
[12:28] ---
    She'll notice us! Well?
[12:31] ---
    Right. Shiki-chan is certain there's
    something going on with Mei-chan.
[12:34] ---
    Look!
[12:37] ---
    Ren?
[12:40] ---
    They're secretly meeting with each other?
[12:41] ---
    What? What could they be discussing?
[12:44] ---
    It seems super serious.
[12:51] ---
    You can't write?
[12:52] ---
    Correct... The more I think about
    having to complete the song,
[12:55] ---
    the more gaming sits
    at the back of my mind...
[12:58] ---
    You're worse off than I thought.
[13:00] ---
    Oh, what should I do?
[13:03] ---
    You're thinking about this too much.
    Everyone goes through this.
[13:08] ---
    But this cannot happen...
[13:12] ---
    Even I have times when
    I'm studying for tests
[13:15] ---
    where I wanna watch school idol footage.
[13:17] ---
    What do you do when that happens?
[13:20] ---
    Please! Give me guidance!
[13:25] ---
    The way it's looking right now...
[13:28] ---
    Those eyes...
[13:32] ---
    ...are in love.
[13:37] ---
    Yup, love.
[13:38] ---
    What?!
[13:41] ---
    What do we do?! What do we do?!
[13:43] ---
    What else?
[13:44] ---
    Romantic relationships lead to
    scandals in show business!
[13:48] ---
    We need to stop them right this instance!
[13:50] ---
    Actually, this is
    a perfect plan to have us
[13:52] ---
    immediately go viral and
    grab everyone's attention.
[13:54] ---
    --Let's see... "Rumors of Liella! members
    in a steamy romance"...
[13:56] ---
    --Hey, stop that!
    --Let's see... "Rumors of Liella! members
    in a steamy romance"...
[13:58] ---
    Not allowed.
[13:59] ---
    Give that back!
[14:01] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting!
[14:03] ---
    M-Morning...
[14:05] ---
    Aren't we starting practice?
[14:07] ---
    Of course we are! But first!
[14:10] ---
    Hiyah!
[14:11] ---
    Ow! What's the big idea?!
[14:13] ---
    Why were you just going to
    ask her out of the blue?!
[14:14] ---
    Are we supposed to ignore it?!
[14:16] ---
    This is a very delicate situation!
[14:17] ---
    There's a certain order
    we need to take care of things!
[14:20] ---
    What the?
[14:21] ---
    Mei.
[14:22] ---
    If you're in love,
    just come out and say it.
[14:25] ---
    She's so oni forward!
[14:27] ---
    What should we do?!
[14:28] ---
    Hey!
[14:31] ---
    What's wrong?
[14:33] ---
    Dating?! Me and Ren-senpai?!
[14:37] ---
    A forbidden world!
[14:38] ---
    Be honest with us.
[14:39] ---
    Why the hell would you think that?
[14:41] ---
    Well, you two were having a very
    passionate conversation in the courtyard.
[14:44] ---
    You held hands!
[14:46] ---
    You gazed into each other's eyes!
[14:47] ---
    You embraced each other!
[14:48] ---
    Stop adding crap that didn't happen!
[14:49] ---
    So you really did step
    into a forbidden world?!
[14:51] ---
    Don't believe them!
[14:52] ---
    Then what were you two talking about?
[14:56] ---
    She's not holding back!
[14:58] ---
    This is so intense!
[15:00] ---
    I was just lending an ear to Ren-senpai...
[15:03] ---
    Lending an ear? About what?
[15:04] ---
    It's nothing big...
[15:06] ---
    So what is it?
[15:08] ---
    So you can't tell us.
[15:10] ---
    That's not exactly the case...
[15:14] ---
    I'll give you something to drink
    that'll make you want to tell us.
[15:17] ---
    Stop that.
[15:20] ---
    Shiki...
[15:28] ---
    I'll just take care of that boss...
[15:30] ---
    No, no! I mustn't play any games!
[15:32] ---
    Games?
[15:37] ---
    Kanon-san?!
[15:38] ---
    Sorry I startled you.
[15:40] ---
    Oh, it's all right...
[15:43] ---
    Did something happen?
    Oh, is it time for practice soon?
[15:48] ---
    No, I just wanted to talk to you.
[15:51] ---
    Um... This might surprise you
    because it's so sudden, but...
[15:56] ---
    I want you to let me be
    the vice president.
[15:59] ---
    Vice president?!
[16:01] ---
    I want to help you out.
[16:02] ---
    Your mother left you this school,
[16:05] ---
    and I want to help you get
    more people to find out about it!
[16:08] ---
    I may not be the most reliable,
    but I was hoping I could help you out.
[16:13] ---
    Kanon-san...
[16:14] ---
    What do you think?
SIGN    "Letter of Appointment"
    "Kanon Shibuya-dono"
    "You have been appointed the vice president of the Yuigaoka Girls' High School Student Council." "Yuigaoka Girls' High School"
[16:22] ---
    I already got permission
    from the director,
[16:24] ---
    so as long as you're okay with it.
[16:27] ---
    Kanon-san...
[16:32] ---
    Well, I'll be getting ready
    in the student council room,
[16:35] ---
    so tell me how to do my job later.
[16:37] ---
    Um!
[16:38] ---
    Hm?
[16:41] ---
    Er, just, thank you very much.
[16:45] ---
    Sure.
[16:53] ---
    Are you sure about this?
[16:55] ---
    Huh?
[16:56] ---
    I just heard everything.
[16:59] ---
    You should tell her what's going on.
[17:02] ---
    But...
[17:09] ---
    Kanon-senpai really is worried about you.
[17:14] ---
    She really wants to help you out.
[17:18] ---
    But I wonder if Kanon-san will get mad.
[17:22] ---
    Who knows? She might get super pissed.
[17:25] ---
    Like, "You made me so worried over this?"
[17:30] ---
    But I think that's fine.
[17:33] ---
    Because friends find out
    stuff like that about each other,
[17:36] ---
    and may even fight,
    but that's how they get closer.
[17:39] ---
    A while back, Shiki and I...
[17:44] ---
    "Student Council Office"
[17:47] ---
    Is this it?
[17:48] ---
    Thanks.
[17:50] ---
    Huh?
[17:51] ---
    Ren-chan? What's wrong?
[17:53] ---
    Everyone...
[17:56] ---
    Kanon asked us to help clean the place up.
[17:58] ---
    And of course, I'm going to film it.
[18:01] ---
    Did you forget something?
[18:02] ---
    Well, I was just wanted to see
    how things were going...
[18:09] ---
    Um!
[18:13] ---
    Games?
[18:14] ---
    Yes.
[18:15] ---
    And that's why...
[18:17] ---
    ...you weren't sleeping?
[18:18] ---
    I'm so sorry that I kept this a secret!
[18:28] ---
    Huh?
[18:29] ---
    Aw, that's it? Thank goodness.
[18:32] ---
    Then you should've just told us that.
[18:35] ---
    I had no idea that you fell in love
    with games so much, Ren Ren!
[18:38] ---
    Huh? But, I...
[18:40] ---
    I guess things like that
    even happen to you, Ren-chan.
[18:43] ---
    That makes me so happy.
[18:44] ---
    I thought you were from
    another world for a while.
[18:48] ---
    So... You're not mad?
[18:51] ---
    Mad?
[18:53] ---
    Well... as punishment for
    keeping it a secret from us...
[18:58] ---
    Wow!
[19:00] ---
    This is a pretty rare gaming console.
[19:03] ---
    Round!
[19:04] ---
    --This is a stocks game!
    We can get plenty of money with this!
    --Are you sure this is okay? For all of us to play games?
[19:07] ---
    --This is a stocks game!
    We can get plenty of money with this!
    --Yeah. I figured if we all play, we could let off a little steam.
[19:10] ---
    --Who knew?
    --Yeah. I figured if we all play,
    we could let off a little steam.
[19:11] ---
    Mei was saying there was
    a part you couldn't beat.
[19:15] ---
    Yes, actually...
[19:19] ---
    So this is it, huh?
[19:20] ---
    There's a boss that I just can't defeat.
[19:23] ---
    They say that solo playing
    this part is really rough.
[19:26] ---
    What? Really?
[19:28] ---
    Let's take him down in co-op!
    I'll be your support!
[19:31] ---
    I'll take care of the small fry
    with my Oni Hammer.
[19:35] ---
    I've played this before, too!
    Let's all do our best!
[19:39] ---
    Yes! Let's go!
[19:41] ---
    Everyone, let's first bring down
    its HP by half!
[19:44] ---
    Okay!
[19:46] ---
    Kanon-san, go to the rear!
[19:48] ---
    Leave it to me!
[19:49] ---
    Kanon! I'll be right there!
[19:51] ---
    Nattsu! Nattsu!
[19:55] ---
    We got through the first stage!
[19:56] ---
    Ren's a little different than usual.
[19:59] ---
    This is great though.
[20:01] ---
    --Nattsu! Nattsu!
[20:02] ---
    --Thanks.
    --Nattsu! Nattsu!
[20:04] ---
    You were really worried about me, right?
[20:11] ---
    We can do this. We can do this.
    We can do this!
[20:16] ---
    I'm out of heals.
[20:17] ---
    Just one more centimeter!
    One more millimeter!
[20:33] ---
    W-W-W...
[20:37] ---
    "Achievement Unlocked"
[20:39] ---
    W-We...
[20:42] ---
    We won!
[20:45] ---
    Thank you so much!
[20:46] ---
    Sure!
[20:48] ---
    Thank you all!
[20:49] ---
    We did it!
[20:51] ---
    --We did it!
    --Yay!
[20:53] ---
    --Pshu...
    --Shiki?!
[20:54] ---
    Mei... You're leading me on.
[20:59] ---
    Bye.
[21:00] ---
    Is Shiki-san all right?
[21:02] ---
    --That was so much fun!
    --She just got a little dizzy.
[21:05] ---
    It's all your fault, Mei.
[21:06] ---
    How is it my fault?
[21:09] ---
    Bye.
[21:10] ---
    Bye-bye!
[21:17] ---
    Shall I hold onto the room's key for you?
[21:21] ---
    No, it's all right.
[21:23] ---
    It's truly mysterious.
[21:25] ---
    Something so small can
    change how you feel.
[21:30] ---
    The school that my mother established
    has given me such wonderful encounters.
[21:38] ---
    I hope to make it an
    even more wonderful school.
[21:43] ---
    "Lyrics by: Kanon Shibuya"
[21:47] ---
    What a lovely song.
[22:08] ---
    Beyond the dream I'm chasing,
    I'd always see
[22:13] ---
    This star called hope,
    and because it shines, because it shines
[22:21] ---
    Even if I stumbled,
    I could keep moving forward
[22:26] ---
    Just where am I headed
    beyond this dream I'm chasing?
[22:35] ---
    We'll get lost again among our encounters
[22:39] ---
    But we can enjoy that, too
[22:44] ---
    When you're able to do something that you
    thought seemed possible but wasn't
[22:48] ---
    It makes you so happy that you want to
    work hard and your heart wants to pop out
[22:55] ---
    Ah
[22:57] ---
    We want to tell everyone
    to laugh more and sing more
[23:02] ---
    So let's keep going even further
[23:06] ---
    The world keeps expanding and
    some of the scenery might change
[23:11] ---
    But our passion will never change!
[23:14] ---
    There are dreams we want to see come true
    by overcoming a lot of frustration
[23:20] ---
    Come on, everyone,
    let's make them come true
[23:24] ---
    I wonder what kind of excitement
    we'll play tomorrow
[23:29] ---
    Let's change the future!
[23:37] ---
    Next time, "Chance Way."

    Previously on Love Live! Superstar!!
[00:04] ---
    Liella! begins writing their song
    for the regional prelims.
[00:07] ---
    However, I had recently discovered
    video games and became distracted.
[00:10] ---
    Please don't tell anyone about this!
[00:12] ---
    If anyone ever found out about this...
[00:14] ---
    But then, Kanon-san tells me
    that she wants to be
SIGN    "Letter of Appointment"
    "Kanon Shibuya-dono"
    "You have been appointed the vice president of the Yuigaoka Girls' High School Student Council." "Yuigaoka Girls' High School"
[00:16] ---
    the vice president of the student council.
[00:19] ---
    I want to help you out.
[00:20] ---
    I accepted Kanon-san's feelings,
    and when I told everyone the truth...
[00:25] ---
    Now that I've become
    even closer to everyone,
[00:28] ---
    I was able to complete our new song.
[00:31] ---
    We will now hold a ceremony to commemorate
    the formation of the new student council.
[00:38] ---
    Student council secretary,
    Kinako Sakurakoji.
[00:41] ---
    Yup!
[00:44] ---
    Next, the treasurer, Nanami Nanakusa.
[00:47] ---
    Yes, ma'am.
[00:48] ---
    This is a new kind of
    lineup for this school.
[00:51] ---
    Ren-senpai thought it'd be
    better for the school
[00:54] ---
    to include students outside of
    the music program as well.
[00:57] ---
    Impressive.
[00:58] ---
    I wanted to be treasurer...
[01:00] ---
    Now, now. Just put all that
    energy into our club.
[01:03] ---
    Student council president was
    out of my reach yet again...
[01:06] ---
    --You're still on about that?
[01:07] ---
    --Student council vice president,
    --You're still on about that?
[01:09] ---
    Kanon Shibuya.
[01:10] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[01:15] ---
    The student council at Yuigaoka Girls'
    High School will resume our activities
[01:19] ---
    now with our new members.
[01:22] ---
    Next year will be
[01:23] ---
    a very important year where we finally
    have students in all three grades.
[01:26] ---
    We also have an open campus this month.
[01:29] ---
    We will use that opportunity to show
    how wonderful our school is.
[01:32] ---
    Let us all create a school that
    we can all be proud of together.
[01:47] ---
    We're now going to fight
[01:49] ---
    Let's create our own wind
[01:53] ---
    We're going to climb
[01:55] ---
    We're never going to lose,
    we're going to win!
[02:01] ---
    More, more, more!!
[02:09] ---
    Let's always surpass
[02:11] ---
    Who we were yesterday
[02:15] ---
    Even if we don't know
[02:17] ---
    Just how much we can do,
    we're always fired up
[02:20] ---
    I want to smile together with you
[02:22] ---
    I want to know about worlds
    I've yet to discover
[02:26] ---
    I'm going to become stronger
[02:28] ---
    I don't wanna give up
[02:31] ---
    Are you ready? Let's start up right now!
[02:36] ---
    We're going to aim for the top
[02:39] ---
    More than now, more than ever
[02:42] ---
    Our hearts are pounding
[02:46] ---
    Let's make it come true!
[02:47] ---
    Right at this moment, as much as we can
[02:50] ---
    We're dreaming,
    because that's all we can do
[02:53] ---
    We met, so this wish gives us passion
[02:58] ---
    We can go
[03:01] ---
    Let's make the impossible happen
[03:06] ---
    We're going to continue believing,
    so WE WILL!
[03:19] ---
    There's this, and this,
[03:21] ---
    and this, and even this!
[03:24] ---
    These are all from the Love Live!
[03:26] ---
    These are the stages used at various
    schools at the Love Live last year.
[03:31] ---
    This again?
[03:33] ---
    Don't just turn on the lights like that!
[03:35] ---
    Is it morning?
[03:36] ---
    You were asleep?
[03:37] ---
    Me, too...
[03:39] ---
    So you're trying to say that
    the stage is important, too?
[03:43] ---
    Yes! This year, the regional prelims are
    immediately a remote competition.
[03:47] ---
    There will be even more
    groups than last year,
[03:50] ---
    so we need to do
    everything we can to stand out.
[03:53] ---
    More than last year?
[03:55] ---
    Do you have an idea of what you want?
[03:57] ---
    I figured you'd ask something
    that blunt, Sumire,
[04:02] ---
    so I came prepared.
[04:06] ---
    I call it...
[04:07] ---
    ...the "Let's Rent Out
    Gaien Stadium" plan!
[04:12] ---
    Let's go!
[04:13] ---
    Wait!
[04:14] ---
    We'll create our stage in the middle and
[04:17] ---
    we'll be able to broadcast Liella!
    live from every angle!
[04:21] ---
    How wonderful!
[04:23] ---
    Didn't they say no to you before?
[04:26] ---
    The cost effectiveness of this
    just isn't there at all.
[04:29] ---
    Have no fear! We are
    the neighborhood school
[04:32] ---
    and the hopefuls to win!
[04:34] ---
    That's right! We're school idols!
    We can't give up until we try!
[04:40] ---
    Someone gets it!
[04:42] ---
    Of course, I do!
[04:44] ---
    If we try our best, we can make it happen!
[04:46] ---
    Precisely!
[04:47] ---
    What makes a school idol
    is their perseverance!
[04:51] ---
    Yes, yes!
[04:52] ---
    Hey!
[04:54] ---
    It didn't work...
[04:55] ---
    They got really mad at us.
[04:58] ---
    Of course they did!
[04:59] ---
    It's no use...
[05:01] ---
    They're more similar than I thought.
[05:03] ---
    In that case, where should we pick?
[05:07] ---
    We should think up a more effective plan
    that doesn't waste so much money.
[05:13] ---
    Effective?
[05:15] ---
    Like what?
[05:16] ---
    Think about it. The winners are determined
    by the votes of the viewers.
[05:21] ---
    Which means that
[05:22] ---
    the important thing is to draw the
    attention of as many viewers as possible.
[05:25] ---
    We know.
[05:27] ---
    But we need to figure out how.
[05:29] ---
    Why, that's simple.
[05:30] ---
    For example, we could give
    everyone who votes for Liella!
[05:34] ---
    private pictures of us.
[05:37] ---
    And then, for people who spend
    money on us... drumroll, please--
[05:41] ---
    Nope.
[05:42] ---
    I haven't even said anything yet.
[05:45] ---
    Anyway, we all need to think about this
    and figure it out together.
[05:49] ---
    A place that can serve as
    a symbol to represent
[05:52] ---
    Liella!, Yuigaoka, and all of us.
[05:55] ---
    Symbol...
[06:00] ---
    Yes, but in the end...
    it's easier said than done.
[06:03] ---
    Yuigaoka's symbol?
[06:06] ---
    Yeah. For example, if our school was
    in a place where it snowed a lot,
[06:08] ---
    our image would be snow.
[06:10] ---
    Or if our school was near the ocean,
    it'd probably be the ocean.
[06:13] ---
    But Yuigaoka has lots of
    famous places around it.
[06:17] ---
    Like a huge street and famous shops...
[06:19] ---
    But if you think about if they
    actually represent Yuigaoka...
[06:22] ---
    You're right. They're all so famous
    and don't actually represent our school.
[06:28] ---
    What's this?
[06:29] ---
    The ideas for the activities each club
    is going to do for the open campus.
[06:32] ---
    There're this many?
[06:33] ---
    That's how much people
    care for this school.
[06:36] ---
    Yeah. I think we're all falling in love
    with this school more and more.
[06:42] ---
    What is the School Idol Club
    doing for the open campus?
[06:47] ---
    I completely forgot about it...
[06:49] ---
    We should probably do a performance.
[06:51] ---
    About that...
[06:54] ---
    We're not going to perform?
[06:56] ---
    Correct.
[06:57] ---
    The student council talked about it
[06:59] ---
    and decided that we should
    concentrate on the prelims.
[07:02] ---
    Are you sure about this?
[07:03] ---
    Yes! I'll be fine even if we
    do another performance!
[07:08] ---
    I said the same thing.
[07:11] ---
    What happened?
[07:13] ---
    According to Nanami-chan,
    if Liella! performs,
[07:16] ---
    all of the attention might get
    concentrated on us.
[07:21] ---
    That's...
[07:22] ---
    We did a performance
    for the school fair, too.
[07:24] ---
    Thinking about the school,
[07:26] ---
    it's probably best if other clubs
    get to shine, as well.
[07:31] ---
    But then, what do we do?
[07:34] ---
    If we're not going to perform...
[07:37] ---
    "Yuigaoka Girls' High School Open Campus"
[07:41] ---
    "Showa Comics Club"
[07:45] ---
    "Chi-chan's TAKO"
[07:45] ---
    Welcome!
[07:48] ---
    Chi-chan's Neo Rainbow Takoyaki's ready!
[07:56] ---
    Huh?
[07:57] ---
    No one.
[07:58] ---
    How strange. But they're
    so perfectly round.
[08:01] ---
    I don't think that's the issue.
[08:03] ---
    The colors...
[08:03] ---
    Let's turn this into an opportunity!
[08:06] ---
    If we don't predict the trends,
    the money will never come flowing in.
[08:11] ---
    We'll just combine these takoyaki with
[08:14] ---
    a specially concocted smoothie!
    Everyone loves smoothies.
[08:18] ---
    Here's a rainbow takoyaki smoothie!
[08:21] ---
    --Pass.
    --How the hell are we
    supposed to eat that?
[08:24] ---
    Oh, that's simple! You just insert
    this special straw into the cup,
[08:29] ---
    and then you just...
[08:34] ---
    M-My throat...
[08:35] ---
    The hotness directly hit my throat!
[08:38] ---
    --Are you okay?!
    --Oh, god! It burns!
[08:38] ---
    --What are you doing?
    --Oh, god! It burns!
[08:41] ---
    --Foolish girl.
    --Oh, god! It burns!
[08:43] ---
    Seems like everything is
    going well over here.
[08:46] ---
    Kinako-san,
[08:47] ---
    could I ask you to help out with the play
    the music program is putting on?
[08:50] ---
    Righto!
[08:54] ---
    I'm so glad so many people
    came to the open campus.
[08:57] ---
    We may not have that many students,
    but we're all very close,
[09:01] ---
    and a magazine complimented
    that about us recently.
[09:05] ---
    I guess our school is turning out
    just like your mom wanted.
[09:11] ---
    Sis!
[09:12] ---
    Aria? You came by today?
[09:15] ---
    I thought I'd surprise you. I need to
    figure out what I'm gonna do for school.
[09:19] ---
    Well, I would've given you
    a tour of the school.
[09:22] ---
    "Let's be school idols"
[09:22] ---
    You should come next year!
    Why not join the School Idol Club?
[09:26] ---
    Uh, Keke-chan?
[09:27] ---
    School idols that are sisters!
    That'd be a hot development!
[09:30] ---
    Er, but I haven't decided if I'm
    going to test for this school yet...
[09:36] ---
    Oh, I know.
[09:38] ---
    It's here.
[09:39] ---
    Thanks! Wow!
[09:42] ---
    So many books!
[09:44] ---
    I see that your sister loves books.
[09:48] ---
    She must've gotten it from my dad.
[09:50] ---
    She's always reading books on her day off.
[09:53] ---
    I guess sisters have a lot going on.
[09:56] ---
    It's so interesting.
[09:58] ---
    This was originally a music school, right?
[10:02] ---
    I wonder why they decided
    to build a school here.
[10:05] ---
    Why?
[10:07] ---
    I'm not exactly sure why
    they decided on this location...
[10:10] ---
    Huh.
[10:14] ---
    "Takoyaki Smoothie"
[10:15] ---
    What are you gonna do now?
[10:16] ---
    Look how much is left over!
[10:17] ---
    I knew a smoothie was a bad idea!
[10:18] ---
    What are you talking about?
[10:20] ---
    The problem is clearly the takoyaki!
    The takoyaki!
[10:23] ---
    Nuh-uh! Round things are the best!
[10:25] ---
    Round things don't matter right now.
[10:27] ---
    This is becoming complicated.
[10:29] ---
    Who cares?
[10:30] ---
    This is surprisingly good.
[10:32] ---
    Seriously?!
[10:36] ---
    The history of the music school...
[10:39] ---
    --There you are!
    --Chi-chan!
[10:41] ---
    Oh, right. We have to clean.
[10:42] ---
    We're actually already done. Here.
[10:46] ---
    What is this?
[10:48] ---
    Leftovers. Are you looking into
    the history of this town?
[10:52] ---
    Yeah. I was trying to find out
    why this school was built here.
[10:56] ---
    I figured it might provide a hint
    in making our stage.
[10:59] ---
    Did you find anything?
[11:01] ---
    Nothing yet, sadly.
[11:04] ---
    "You have a new message"
    "Yuuna-san"
[11:05] ---
    Sunny Pas?
[11:07] ---
    Your stage?
[11:08] ---
    We figured we'd give the school idols
    we trust most a sneak peek.
[11:14] ---
    We're really proud of it!
[11:16] ---
    The great Sunny Pas's...
[11:17] ---
    ...stage!
[11:18] ---
    This is going to go viral!
[11:20] ---
    I'm going to upload it online first!
[11:23] ---
    Did you hear the part about trust?
[11:24] ---
    Y-Yes...
[11:27] ---
    All right! You're seeing it here first!
[11:29] ---
    This is Sunny Passion's stage this year!
[11:33] ---
    Wow...
[11:36] ---
    It's such a lovely stage...
[11:38] ---
    I wanna see it in person, not remotely!
[11:41] ---
    Everyone on the island
    made it for us in our image.
[11:45] ---
    Since this will be the last time.
[11:46] ---
    Last time?
[11:48] ---
    Yes.
[11:49] ---
    Even if we get past
    these regional prelims,
[11:52] ---
    we'll be going to the Tokyo Tournament,
    and then maybe the finals.
[11:56] ---
    There's a huge possibility that the stages
    will end up somewhere big in Tokyo.
[12:00] ---
    Which means the last time we'll be
    able to stand on stage on this island
[12:04] ---
    as school idols is...
[12:10] ---
    We only made it this far
    because we lived on this island
[12:13] ---
    and had the support of everyone here.
[12:14] ---
    We want people to know more
    about our school and our island.
[12:19] ---
    We want everyone to come here!
[12:22] ---
    Let's both put on amazing performances!
[12:26] ---
    Yes!
[12:26] ---
    We've been blessed...
[12:29] ---
    We have to find our stage, too.
[12:34] ---
    Love Live! Superstar!!
[12:40] ---
    Morning.
[12:42] ---
    You're up early even though it's Sunday.
[12:44] ---
    Practice again?
[12:45] ---
    Yeah. But I'm gonna
    go for a walk before that.
[12:48] ---
    A walk?
[12:49] ---
    Oh...
[12:51] ---
    Hey, where's your favorite place
    in this town, Mom?
[12:54] ---
    Huh?
[13:00] ---
    Five, six, seven, eight...
[13:06] ---
    Kinako-chan.
[13:07] ---
    Huh? Kanon-senpai.
[13:12] ---
    What brings you here?
    Are you practicing on your own, too?
[13:15] ---
    Nope. Today, I was going to try to
    find some hints for our stage.
[13:20] ---
    I know. Kinako-chan,
    you came to this town this year, right?
[13:24] ---
    If you have some time,
    will you walk around with me?
[13:28] ---
    With you, Kanon-senpai?
[13:31] ---
    Yes! Absolutely! I'll go!
[13:39] ---
    I get to go out with Kanon-senpai!
    Oh, happy day!
[13:43] ---
    You've got some on your face.
[13:47] ---
    But there sure are a lot of people out
    first thing in the morning.
[13:50] ---
    Even more so because it's the weekend.
[13:53] ---
    I see this place on TV all the time!
[13:55] ---
    So many fancy people!
[13:58] ---
    They're shooting a drama!
[14:00] ---
    Over there!
[14:01] ---
    Over here!
[14:02] ---
    And everywhere!
[14:05] ---
    That was so much fun!
[14:07] ---
    I'm glad you enjoyed it.
[14:09] ---
    It's so lively wherever we go,
    and everyone's smiling.
[14:13] ---
    I grew up in a place that
    didn't have that many people,
[14:16] ---
    so this is all really exciting.
[14:21] ---
    Kanon-senpai?
[14:23] ---
    A place where it's lively everywhere
    and a lot of people gather...
[14:27] ---
    Kanon-senpai!
[14:29] ---
    Oh, sorry.
[14:30] ---
    Did you figure something out?
[14:33] ---
    Hm... It's almost there.
[14:41] ---
    Hm...
[14:44] ---
    Kanon-chan!
[14:46] ---
    Perfect timing!
[14:49] ---
    Leave the rest to us.
[14:51] ---
    What do you mean?
[14:53] ---
    Until the Love Live is over,
    you all can concentrate on your training.
[14:57] ---
    We'll take care of the student
    council duties until then.
[15:01] ---
    We helped with creating
    the stage last year, too.
[15:04] ---
    Thanks... but if we end up
    going to the nationals...
[15:08] ---
    We'd have to rely on you
    for quite some time.
[15:12] ---
    We can't ask that much of you.
[15:13] ---
    We want to enjoy this
    along with all of you.
[15:17] ---
    That's why if there's something
    we can do or help with, we want to!
[15:21] ---
    So none of us have any regrets.
[15:29] ---
    It's too early to cry.
[15:31] ---
    Well, you're crying, too, Chisato.
[15:37] ---
    You crybabies.
[15:39] ---
    You're crying, too, Sumire-senpai.
[15:44] ---
    I'm so grateful.
[15:53] ---
    Okay! One, two, three, four,
    five, six, seven...
[15:57] ---
    Huh? The numbers just aren't adding up.
[15:59] ---
    Try starting over again.
[16:01] ---
    Why isn't it adding up?!
[16:03] ---
    Hazuki-san was doing
    all of this by herself...
[16:08] ---
    Keep your body in mind.
[16:10] ---
    I-I know!
[16:14] ---
    Amazing!
[16:19] ---
    I'm very good at staying still.
[16:21] ---
    "Liella!
    Stage Meeting!!"
[16:24] ---
    We will now begin our
    Liella! stage meeting!
[16:27] ---
    If anyone has any ideas,
    please raise your hands.
[16:30] ---
    --Here!
    --Here!
[16:32] ---
    "Love Live Tokyo Tournament
    Liella! possible stage locations"
[16:33] ---
    Wow...
[16:35] ---
    This many again?
[16:37] ---
    These are the possible stages.
[16:39] ---
    Nanami-sanand others
    did a survey with the school.
[16:43] ---
    To no surprise,
    Omotesando is a popular choice.
[16:46] ---
    Well, this road has existed
    for over a hundred years.
[16:50] ---
    It definitely stands out.
[16:52] ---
    But this is where we sang last year.
[16:55] ---
    I mean, that is a valid choice...
[16:58] ---
    But it lacks impact.
[17:01] ---
    This is difficult.
[17:02] ---
    Yup.
[17:07] ---
    The ones who made our stage last year
    was everyone from school.
[17:12] ---
    Yeah.
[17:13] ---
    That must mean everyone
    thinks this place is the best.
[17:21] ---
    Omotesando...
[17:24] ---
    Path...
[17:26] ---
    On the list from earlier!
[17:29] ---
    There's one more... one more...
[17:34] ---
    Kanon-chan?
[17:45] ---
    That's right...
[17:46] ---
    A place that's lively
    and everyone gathers...
[17:59] ---
    A place that's always been here!
[18:07] ---
    A place where our feelings connect!
[18:12] ---
    Kanon-chan!
[18:15] ---
    You're so fast.
[18:16] ---
    What the heck is your deal?
[18:20] ---
    What's wrong, everyone?
[18:22] ---
    Of course we'd be concerned
    when you just dart off like that.
[18:26] ---
    What happened?
[18:28] ---
    Nothing. I just think I figured it out.
[18:32] ---
    Our stage.
[18:34] ---
    Our...
[18:36] ---
    ...stage.
[18:37] ---
    Where is it?
[18:39] ---
    Right here.
[18:40] ---
    Here...?
[18:42] ---
    This path. I think it's because this place
    is where all these paths become one.
[18:47] ---
    I think that's why
    our school was built there.
[18:50] ---
    Paths...?
[18:53] ---
    Yeah.
[18:54] ---
    The paths become one,
    and a lot of people gather here.
[18:59] ---
    It's a place where various hopes and
    dreams come together and connect.
[19:12] ---
    That's why we built our stage here.
[19:17] ---
    People meet here and connect.
[19:21] ---
    That's the kind of school Yuigaoka is.
[19:24] ---
    This is where the paths connect...
[19:28] ---
    And this is where we'll sing.
[19:38] ---
    So that Liella!'s path
    and Yuigaoka's path...
[19:42] ---
    ...can connect...
[19:45] ---
    ...with you!
[20:10] ---
    Is it okay to dream?
    Is it okay to go wild?
[20:13] ---
    You don't need to worry about that,
    you can always just ask your heart
[20:16] ---
    It'd be a waste if you don't
    try things out freely! Let's jump
[20:20] ---
    Every time it's a festival, now,
    let's show some courage
[20:23] ---
    Hurry up and come on over;
    let's all get wild and wilder
[20:27] ---
    Let's head over to the other side of
    this excitement; sure, why not?
[20:30] ---
    We just wanna throw off our coats,
    y'all, yay! And let's have a ball!
[20:37] ---
    Yes! I want to know about you!!!
[20:43] ---
    The day we met is truly a chance day!
[20:46] ---
    It's no coincidence, it's fate
[20:50] ---
    Let's dance and repaint the world
    (Fully, fully, colorful)
[20:56] ---
    Our feelings overlap, chance way!
[21:00] ---
    And our energies connect
[21:03] ---
    Let's do something absolutely amazing
[21:10] ---
    Let's sing and get excited together
[21:24] ---
    It's a festival,
    so let's become one, yay!
[21:48] ---
    We're the members of Yuigaoka Girls'
    High's School Idol Club!
[21:53] ---
    We're Liella!
[22:04] ---
    "Yuigaoka Girls' High School Idols
    Liella! Heads to the Tokyo Tournament!!"
[22:08] ---
    Beyond the dream I'm chasing,
    I'd always see
[22:13] ---
    This star called hope,
    and because it shines, because it shines
[22:21] ---
    Even if I stumbled,
    I could keep moving forward
[22:26] ---
    Just where am I headed
    beyond this dream I'm chasing?
[22:35] ---
    We'll get lost again among our encounters
[22:39] ---
    But we can enjoy that, too
[22:44] ---
    When you're able to do something that you
    thought seemed possible but wasn't
[22:48] ---
    It makes you so happy that you want to
    work hard and your heart wants to pop out
[22:55] ---
    Ah
[22:57] ---
    We want to tell everyone
    to laugh more and sing more
[23:02] ---
    So let's keep going even further
[23:06] ---
    The world keeps expanding and
    some of the scenery might change
[23:11] ---
    But our passion will never change!
[23:14] ---
    There are dreams we want to see come true
    by overcoming a lot of frustration
[23:20] ---
    Come on, everyone,
    let's make them come true
[23:24] ---
    I wonder what kind of excitement
    we'll play tomorrow
[23:29] ---
    Let's change the future!
[23:37] ---
    Next time, "For Victory."

    Previously on Love Live! Superstar!!
[00:04] ---
    The regional prelims were coming up,
[00:06] ---
    so we were looking for a stage that
    could be a symbol to represent us.
[00:09] ---
    Symbol...
[00:11] ---
    We continued to look for it
    with the help of everyone at school.
[00:14] ---
    Then, finally...
[00:15] ---
    People meet here and connect.
[00:19] ---
    That's the kind of school Yuigaoka is.
[00:21] ---
    This is where the paths connect...
[00:23] ---
    And this is where we'll sing.
[00:25] ---
    The performance was a huge success!
[00:27] ---
    We made it through the regional prelims
[00:28] ---
    and we're headed off to
    the Tokyo Tournament!
[00:29] ---
    "Yuigaoka Girls' High School Idols
    Liella! Heads to the Tokyo Tournament!!"
[00:31] ---
    We have an announcement.
[00:32] ---
    Our very own school idol group
    from Yuigaoka Girls' High, Liella!,
[00:36] ---
    has made it to the Tokyo Tournament.
[00:39] ---
    --Ooh, they did it.
    --I repeat. Liella! has made it
    into the Tokyo Tournament.
[00:40] ---
    --Well, of course, they did.
    --I repeat. Liella! has made it
    into the Tokyo Tournament.
[00:42] ---
    --Yeah!
    --I repeat. Liella! has made it
    into the Tokyo Tournament.
[00:43] ---
    Congratulations!
[00:45] ---
    Thanks!
[00:46] ---
    Natsumi-chan, you just joined
    and you're amazing!
[00:49] ---
    This went viral by the way.
[00:54] ---
    T-Twenty thousand likes... This is...
[00:56] ---
    My time's finally arrived!
[00:58] ---
    It's arrived!
[01:01] ---
    We just got through
    the regional prelims...
[01:04] ---
    But you're really popular, too.
[01:08] ---
    Wh-When did that happen?
[01:10] ---
    Twenty thousand likes.
    Now everyone knows how cute you are.
[01:15] ---
    Cute?! What the hell are you
    talking about? I'm not cute.
[01:27] ---
    Congrats!
[01:28] ---
    Yeah, thanks!
[01:30] ---
    But the next part is the most important.
[01:32] ---
    Yeah. Kanon-chan's super pumped to
    make sure we all get to the finals,
[01:36] ---
    so we can all celebrate together.
[01:38] ---
    Though it looks like some of us
    are plenty emotional already.
[01:42] ---
    Thank you...
[01:44] ---
    Thank you so very much.
[01:46] ---
    I'm the student council president,
    but you've all helped me so much.
[01:50] ---
    Nah, it's no big deal.
[01:51] ---
    This school belongs to all of us!
[01:54] ---
    Everyone... Yes.
[01:58] ---
    So any new info on the Tokyo Tournament?
[02:01] ---
    Shut up. There are plenty
    of formidable groups,
[02:04] ---
    but our biggest rival is the great
    Sunny Pas that won last year...
[02:10] ---
    Wh-What?!
[02:12] ---
    But that's impossible...
[02:14] ---
    They're not here.
    Sunny Pas... isn't listed!
[02:18] ---
    Sunny Pas isn't listed as one of the
    groups going to the Tokyo Tournament!
[02:22] ---
    What?
[02:25] ---
    We're now going to fight
[02:27] ---
    Let's create our own wind
[02:31] ---
    We're going to climb
[02:33] ---
    We're never going to lose,
    we're going to win!
[02:39] ---
    More, more, more!!
[02:47] ---
    Let's always surpass
[02:49] ---
    Who we were yesterday
[02:53] ---
    Even if we don't know
[02:55] ---
    Just how much we can do,
    we're always fired up
[02:58] ---
    I want to smile together with you
[03:00] ---
    I want to know about worlds
    I've yet to discover
[03:03] ---
    I'm going to become stronger
[03:06] ---
    I don't wanna give up
[03:09] ---
    Are you ready? Let's start up right now!
[03:14] ---
    We're going to aim for the top
[03:17] ---
    More than now, more than ever
[03:20] ---
    Our hearts are pounding
[03:24] ---
    Let's make it come true!
[03:25] ---
    Right at this moment, as much as we can
[03:28] ---
    We're dreaming,
    because that's all we can do
[03:31] ---
    We met, so this wish gives us passion
[03:36] ---
    We can go
[03:39] ---
    Let's make the impossible happen
[03:44] ---
    We're going to continue believing,
    so WE WILL!
[03:55] ---
    What could've happened...?
[03:56] ---
    Does that mean they didn't
    make it through the prelims?
[03:59] ---
    "For Victory"
[03:59] ---
    How could you say something so rude?
[04:01] ---
    There's no way that
    the great Sunny Pas would lose.
[04:03] ---
    You're the one who told us
    they're not there.
[04:05] ---
    But why...
SIGN    "Yuuna-san"
    "It's been a while~~"
SIGN    "Yuuna-san"
    "It's been a while~~"
    "Mao-san" "Could you contact us later?"
[04:14] ---
    Ooh, looks like you're all there.
[04:17] ---
    Congratulations on making it
    to the Tokyo Tournament.
[04:20] ---
    Congratula-pa!
[04:22] ---
    Thank you very much. But, um...
[04:26] ---
    We figured you may be worried,
    so Yuuna suggested that we contact you.
[04:31] ---
    Sorry!
[04:33] ---
    We were looking forward to singing with
    you girls at the Tokyo Tournament, but...
[04:37] ---
    Then you really...
[04:38] ---
    What happened?
[04:41] ---
    You blew the competition
[04:42] ---
    out of the water in last year's regional
    prelims and the year before that.
[04:45] ---
    Right?
[04:47] ---
    We may have gotten too ahead of ourselves.
[04:52] ---
    It's not as though we tried any less...
[04:55] ---
    But we may have
    let our guard down a little.
[04:59] ---
    We ended up losing to a solo act.
[05:02] ---
    A solo act?
[05:03] ---
    I'm pretty sure you've
    met her before, as well.
[05:07] ---
    Yeah! This girl right here!
[05:08] ---
    "A New Star Appears!"
[05:10] ---
    Oh! She's the girl from
    the Yoyogi School Idol Fes.
[05:14] ---
    Margarete-chan.
[05:15] ---
    Yeah. She sang after us,
[05:18] ---
    but right after she started singing,
    we thought, "Shoot!"
[05:23] ---
    We were totally blown away.
[05:26] ---
    The great Sunny Pas...
[05:28] ---
    ...was blown away?
[05:30] ---
    She's that amazing?
[05:32] ---
    What the heck?
[05:34] ---
    Where the heck are all these
    nemeses coming from?
[05:37] ---
    You don't have any time to lose hope.
[05:39] ---
    Huh?
[05:40] ---
    Currently, the Love Live
    is held once a year.
[05:43] ---
    Which means that you can only attempt it
    three times in high school.
[05:47] ---
    You need to go in thinking
    every time might be your last shot.
[05:51] ---
    Otherwise...
[05:53] ---
    It'll be over before you know it.
[05:56] ---
    Yuuna-san...
[05:59] ---
    Just some advice from
    your overbearing senpai.
[06:03] ---
    We hope you'll keep striving to win.
[06:05] ---
    Bye.
[06:08] ---
    Yuuna! Mao!
[06:12] ---
    Kids...
[06:13] ---
    We're sorry.
[06:14] ---
    It's okay!
[06:16] ---
    Thank you!
[06:32] ---
    Here you go!
[06:32] ---
    "Congratulations on making it
    to the Tokyo Tournament!!"
[06:34] ---
    Wow...
[06:35] ---
    Congrats on getting into
    the Tokyo Tournament.
[06:38] ---
    Thank you very much!
[06:39] ---
    I'm going to make some Hamburg steaks now.
[06:42] ---
    --Okay...
    --What? Not happy?
[06:44] ---
    Huh?!
[06:45] ---
    I mean, I wish we could celebrate more...
[06:49] ---
    But our next hurdle's huge...
[06:52] ---
    What would you do, Manmaru?
[06:55] ---
    Huh...
[06:57] ---
    Huh? That's...
[06:59] ---
    "Hottest Love Live! News!"
[06:59] ---
    She was just here.
[07:02] ---
    She was having tea right there.
[07:04] ---
    Huh?
[07:05] ---
    Was she spying on us?
[07:07] ---
    Are people really going that far now?
[07:09] ---
    Then we'll just have to
    take drastic measures!
[07:15] ---
    On the day of the tournament,
[07:16] ---
    if we drop one drop of
    this liquid into her drink,
[07:19] ---
    our ticket to the finals
    will be certified!
[07:24] ---
    --V.
    --That's not happening!
[07:27] ---
    Why is that all you can come up with?
[07:30] ---
    She's not too different from you, Sumire.
[07:33] ---
    Such boring reactions.
[07:34] ---
    In that case! We'll just use
    the Orthodox method of
[07:37] ---
    spreading baseless gossip about
    Wien Margarete on the internet
[07:39] ---
    and watch her burn.
[07:41] ---
    How the hell is that Orthodox?
[07:43] ---
    That has always been
    the way of the internet.
[07:46] ---
    Would you stop already?
[07:51] ---
    Chisato-senpai,
    is something bothering you?
[07:54] ---
    Huh? No, it's nothing.
[08:04] ---
    See you tomorrow!
[08:05] ---
    Yes.
[08:06] ---
    See you!
[08:08] ---
    Be careful!
[08:10] ---
    Can just the second-years stay behind?
[08:12] ---
    Huh?
[08:14] ---
    The first-years?
[08:16] ---
    Yeah...
[08:16] ---
    I was watching videos and saw
[08:19] ---
    that there's still a clear
    skill difference between us.
[08:22] ---
    But the first-years are working hard.
[08:24] ---
    Even the performance the other day,
    they were keeping up with our steps.
[08:28] ---
    Of course, I know that, but...
[08:31] ---
    You're saying that being able to do the steps
    doesn't mean we're going to win.
[08:36] ---
    At this rate, would it be difficult
    for us to get to the finals?
[08:41] ---
    Probably...
[08:42] ---
    So you think it's best for the first-years
    to practice even harder?
[08:47] ---
    Well, I wanted to get everyone's
    thoughts on what we should do.
[08:52] ---
    But if we told them, they would worry.
[08:55] ---
    Well, yeah.
[08:56] ---
    They've already been saying that
    they feel like we're ahead of them.
[09:00] ---
    I don't think we need to tell them.
[09:02] ---
    Keke-chan...
[09:04] ---
    The first-years are working hard.
[09:06] ---
    If we told them now,
    they would probably try too hard.
[09:10] ---
    It would probably become
    difficult for them to sing.
[09:13] ---
    But you--
[09:14] ---
    I just want to have fun
    singing with everyone!
[09:17] ---
    Yeah, I agree.
[09:20] ---
    Then let's continue our training
    without telling the first years
[09:23] ---
    and rethink our
    training regimen a little bit.
[09:26] ---
    Yes.
[09:30] ---
    Then we'll leave the training regimen
    to you two, Chi-chan and Keke-chan.
[09:34] ---
    Got it!
[09:35] ---
    If you'll excuse me.
[09:56] ---
    Why are you coming this way, Sumire?
    Your home is that way, isn't it?
[10:00] ---
    I have somewhere I need to go.
[10:02] ---
    Then you should go by yourself.
[10:04] ---
    I'll go home this way.
[10:08] ---
    Are you sure about this?
[10:12] ---
    About what?
[10:14] ---
    If we don't get good results
    at the Love Live,
[10:16] ---
    you'll still be forced to go
    back to Shanghai, right?
[10:21] ---
    If they let you off the hook last year,
[10:24] ---
    doesn't that mean you absolutely
    need to produce results this time?
[10:29] ---
    This doesn't concern you, Sumire.
[10:33] ---
    Of course it does. If anything,
    this is a huge deal for Liella!
[10:38] ---
    Do you really not trust us?
[10:42] ---
    Keke!
[10:44] ---
    I hate you.
[10:47] ---
    You need to tell everyone!
[10:50] ---
    I cannot. I just want to have fun
    singing with everyone.
[10:55] ---
    That's the kind of school idol
    I always dreamed of being.
[11:00] ---
    Keke!
[11:04] ---
    Keke, wait!
SIGN    "Wien Margarete Heads to the Love Live! Tokyo Tournament!!" "Previous Victors Sunny Passion Sadly Don't Make It Past Regionals!!"
[11:28] ---
    Huh?
[11:29] ---
    Kanon Shibuya.
[11:34] ---
    Why are you singing in a place like this?
[11:37] ---
    Huh?
[11:39] ---
    I'll show you what true singing is.
[11:42] ---
    I'll show you just how puny and pathetic
    that stage you're singing on actually is.
[11:48] ---
    It's not pathetic!
[11:50] ---
    The stage we're singing on...
    The Love Live is the best place!
[11:55] ---
    I see. Then mark my words.
[11:58] ---
    You'll understand
    what they mean the day of.
[12:15] ---
    Hey!
[12:19] ---
    Our training regimen
    is changing starting today.
[12:22] ---
    Ooh...
[12:23] ---
    We're finally getting ready
    for the Tokyo Tournament.
[12:25] ---
    How exciting!
[12:26] ---
    I'm starting to worry
    about body aches already.
[12:30] ---
    Sumire?
[12:32] ---
    Before that, I have something
    to tell all of you.
[12:35] ---
    What is it?
[12:37] ---
    Our next performance...
[12:40] ---
    I think just the five second-years
    should perform.
[12:45] ---
    Love Live! Superstar!!
[12:48] ---
    Sumire-chan...
[12:49] ---
    Are you serious?
[12:51] ---
    Yes. I thought about this all last night.
[12:54] ---
    In order for us to beat that girl,
[12:55] ---
    in order for us to make it to the finals,
    this is the only way.
[12:58] ---
    Sumire...
[13:00] ---
    Why? Are you that scared of her?
[13:03] ---
    She beat Sunny Passion. Of course I am.
[13:07] ---
    Right...
[13:09] ---
    Even then, that doesn't guarantee
    we're going to lose.
[13:12] ---
    Would we even be allowed to
    compete with just the five of us?
[13:16] ---
    Yes. Adding more members that
    weren't in the prelims is prohibited,
[13:20] ---
    but there's no rule against
    members not competing.
[13:23] ---
    If we don't compete...
[13:25] ---
    The second-years could create
    an even better performance...
[13:28] ---
    That's what you mean, right?
[13:30] ---
    Don't be ridiculous!
[13:32] ---
    Yeah. There's no point in winning
    if it's just the five of us.
[13:36] ---
    Our goal is to win and celebrate
    with the whole school.
[13:40] ---
    But... what if we lose?
[13:44] ---
    A lot of people will be sad.
[13:46] ---
    In that case, we should
    heighten our chances of winning.
[13:53] ---
    You heard them. The first-years agree.
[13:58] ---
    Sumire-chan.
[13:59] ---
    We have to win.
[14:01] ---
    I agree with that!
[14:03] ---
    But there's no point if all the members
    of Liella! don't perform!
[14:06] ---
    Because... Everyone here
    belongs to Liella!
[14:16] ---
    Well, I want to make a comeback
    in the world of show business.
[14:21] ---
    By producing results here,
[14:22] ---
    I'm going to make sure
    the whole world sees me,
[14:24] ---
    and I'm going to make it
    back into that world.
[14:27] ---
    That's why I can't lose here.
[14:33] ---
    Are you seriously saying that?
[14:36] ---
    Well?! Answer me!
[14:39] ---
    I'm serious...
[14:45] ---
    Stop this!
[14:47] ---
    Keke-chan...
[14:49] ---
    Please, stop this.
[15:00] ---
    I'm sorry about all this.
[15:02] ---
    We're still going to have morning practice
    at the usual time tomorrow.
[15:05] ---
    Is everything going to be okay?
[15:08] ---
    Yes. We're going to talk this out,
[15:11] ---
    so the rest of you, please continue
    getting ready to perform.
[15:20] ---
    Now, then...
[15:21] ---
    I should probably hear
    Sumire-chan out on my own, right?
[15:26] ---
    Chi-chan...
[15:27] ---
    I get how you feel, Kanon-chan.
[15:30] ---
    I'm pretty sure we all
    agree with you, Kanon-san.
[15:33] ---
    But I'm sure Sumire-chan
    has her reasons, too.
[15:37] ---
    Yeah, I'm sorry for
    raising my voice earlier.
[15:40] ---
    It's okay! I was glad, actually.
[15:43] ---
    It showed how serious you are about this.
[15:45] ---
    You really do care about all of us.
[15:49] ---
    Yes!
[15:50] ---
    Ren-chan...
[15:51] ---
    Um...
[15:54] ---
    Would you mind if
    I went to talk to Sumire?
[16:02] ---
    What are we gonna do?
[16:03] ---
    All we can do is do what we were told.
[16:06] ---
    Our senpais will talk to Sumire-senpai.
[16:12] ---
    But is that really okay?
[16:14] ---
    Mei...
[16:16] ---
    They said what they did because
    they were worried about our feelings,
[16:21] ---
    but maybe they want to win
    just as badly as Sumire-senpai.
[16:26] ---
    Everyone at school is counting on us, too.
[16:29] ---
    But as first-years,
    we've been working hard for this.
[16:33] ---
    What do you think we should do, Mei-chan?
[16:37] ---
    What about you, Kinako?
[16:42] ---
    Get a grip, Sumire.
[16:44] ---
    You were prepared to become
    the bad guy, remember?
[16:49] ---
    Sis.
[16:50] ---
    What?
[16:51] ---
    Can I have this?
[16:54] ---
    No!
[16:56] ---
    What? Boo, you meanie! Nyah!
[17:03] ---
    Ugh, what am I supposed to do?!
[17:09] ---
    You four...
[17:11] ---
    Sumire-senpai, your outfit...
[17:14] ---
    It looks good on you.
[17:16] ---
    Wh-What? My family runs a shrine,
    so what do you expect?
[17:20] ---
    So what did you want?
[17:22] ---
    Er, we just wanted you
    to hear this, Sumire-senpai.
[17:27] ---
    Huh?
[18:07] ---
    We just sent you what
    the first-years are thinking.
[18:12] ---
    So we won't perform
    at the next performance.
[18:14] ---
    The five second-years should be the only
    ones to perform at the Tokyo Tournament.
[18:18] ---
    And then...
[18:21] ---
    Let us see you win it.
[18:27] ---
    Girls...
[18:29] ---
    How...
[18:31] ---
    How am I supposed to do that?!
[18:34] ---
    How hard do you think we've
    all worked and practiced?!
[18:38] ---
    We've all been working hard from morning
    to night for the sake of the Love Live!
[18:43] ---
    But...
[18:44] ---
    We all worked so hard
    so we could celebrate together!
[18:47] ---
    You seem to be saying something
    different now, Sumire-senpai.
[18:51] ---
    You're the one who said you wanted
    to perform with just the second-years.
[18:56] ---
    But I...
[18:57] ---
    We can perform with all nine of us.
[19:00] ---
    Keke-senpai...
[19:05] ---
    The most important thing
    is that we all sing together.
[19:08] ---
    We'll make it the best
    performance together.
[19:11] ---
    But... But!
[19:17] ---
    I told you I don't mind,
    so why do you keep meddling?
[19:22] ---
    Why are you suffering all alone?
[19:26] ---
    Because I can't do this...
[19:27] ---
    Huh?
[19:29] ---
    I want to be with you.
[19:31] ---
    I want to continue being a school idol
    with you for all three years.
[19:39] ---
    Keke, you dummy!
[19:43] ---
    Sumire!
[19:45] ---
    Sumire-chan!
[19:51] ---
    Sumire?
[19:56] ---
    This is...
[19:57] ---
    This saved me.
[20:00] ---
    That's why I want to thank you.
[20:02] ---
    I want to do everything to make sure
[20:03] ---
    you get to be a school idol
    with us until the end.
[20:07] ---
    I don't want to let you
    go back to Shanghai!
[20:10] ---
    Shanghai...?
[20:11] ---
    What's that supposed to mean?
[20:13] ---
    She's going back if we don't win...
[20:16] ---
    If we don't get some kind of results...
[20:20] ---
    Keke's going to be sent back home.
    She's going to be gone!
[20:25] ---
    You truly are stupid...
[20:34] ---
    Keke...
[20:37] ---
    You always have to meddle, Sumire.
[20:41] ---
    You always do things that upset me.
[20:44] ---
    You always disagree with my decisions.
[20:47] ---
    And you always butt into everything I say.
[20:50] ---
    Shut up! Shut up! Shut up--
[21:00] ---
    I really hate you.
[21:06] ---
    I hate you, and I love you.
[21:19] ---
    What should we do?
[21:21] ---
    Isn't it obvious? Chi-chan!
[21:23] ---
    Yup!
[21:26] ---
    Okay, all ready.
[21:28] ---
    What is this?
[21:29] ---
    Our training menu so we'll all be
    ready for the Tokyo Tournament.
[21:33] ---
    Huh? This much?
[21:35] ---
    Can you actually pull this off when
    you're just a crybaby with no energy?
[21:38] ---
    Right back at you,
    you crybaby giant isopod.
[21:45] ---
    Okay, are you ready, first-years?
[21:48] ---
    We're going to start
    our special training today.
[21:50] ---
    To make sure the nine of us can win!
[21:57] ---
    Liella!
[21:59] ---
    Super start!
[22:08] ---
    Beyond the dream I'm chasing,
    I'd always see
[22:13] ---
    This star called hope,
    and because it shines, because it shines
[22:21] ---
    Even if I stumbled,
    I could keep moving forward
[22:26] ---
    Just where am I headed
    beyond this dream I'm chasing?
[22:35] ---
    We'll get lost again among our encounters
[22:39] ---
    But we can enjoy that, too
[22:44] ---
    When you're able to do something that you
    thought seemed possible but wasn't
[22:48] ---
    It makes you so happy that you want to
    work hard and your heart wants to pop out
[22:55] ---
    Ah
[22:57] ---
    We want to tell everyone
    to laugh more and sing more
[23:02] ---
    So let's keep going even further
[23:06] ---
    The world keeps expanding and
    some of the scenery might change
[23:11] ---
    But our passion will never change!
[23:14] ---
    There are dreams we want to see come true
    by overcoming a lot of frustration
[23:20] ---
    Come on, everyone,
    let's make them come true
[23:24] ---
    I wonder what kind of excitement
    we'll play tomorrow
[23:29] ---
    Let's change the future!

[00:03] ---
    Coming up this weekend...
[00:06] ---
    The Love Live Tokyo Tournament!
[00:08] ---
    What kind of performances will the school
    idols from each school show us?!
[00:17] ---
    Hey, Natsumi! Natsumi!
[00:18] ---
    "Training Camp Time!"
[00:20] ---
    Where are you?
[00:22] ---
    Hey!
[00:25] ---
    Natsumi!
[00:28] ---
    Huh?
[00:29] ---
    She tried to take a selfie...
[00:31] ---
    ...and froze.
[00:33] ---
    Filming... now...
[00:35] ---
    If you wander off too far,
    you'll get lost.
[00:38] ---
    Hurry on back!
[00:40] ---
    But I need to get this shot!
[00:42] ---
    --Look out!
    --This shot!
[00:47] ---
    Don't push yourself too much.
[00:48] ---
    But we're in Hokkaido!
[00:50] ---
    --Do you know how important it is
    to release videos every day?!
[00:53] ---
    --Yeah, yeah, that's enough.
    --Do you know how important it is
    to release videos every day?!
[00:58] ---
    So warm...
[01:00] ---
    Wait, this isn't what we were told!
    What the heck is this situation?!
[01:04] ---
    Well...
[01:06] ---
    This is some blizzard...
[01:09] ---
    I'm sure the view would've
    been lovely if it were sunny.
[01:12] ---
    I must emphasize the "sunny" part.
[01:14] ---
    Apparently, it'll be
    totally sunny tomorrow.
[01:17] ---
    Then we'll be able to train lots!
[01:19] ---
    Ugh! Kanon-chan, you idiot!
[01:22] ---
    Back then, you just had to...
[01:26] ---
    I'd like to hold a training camp
    during our winter break!
[01:29] ---
    Let's get all of your opinions.
[01:31] ---
    Then we should absolutely go to
    my homeland, Shanghai.
[01:33] ---
    We don't have the time.
[01:35] ---
    K-Kyoto!
[01:36] ---
    You just want to go there.
[01:38] ---
    There seem to be places we could hold
    our training camp in Shibuya, as well.
[01:41] ---
    But Tokyo's not
    the change in scenery I need.
[01:43] ---
    "Training Camp"
[01:44] ---
    What to do...
[01:45] ---
    I know a place.
[01:47] ---
    You've been there, too, Kanon-senpai.
    My family's boarding house.
[01:50] ---
    My mom said we could come over anytime.
[01:53] ---
    Really?!
[01:54] ---
    Mind giving us an explanation?
[01:57] ---
    I've never been to Kinako's house...
[02:00] ---
    So you secretly went alone?
[02:02] ---
    No, not exactly...
[02:03] ---
    You didn't even contact us...
[02:05] ---
    Huh... I see how it is.
[02:07] ---
    Ch-Chi-chan?
[02:08] ---
    Y-You've got the wrong idea!
[02:09] ---
    You know, it was when I went to
    deliver the thing my dad forgot--
[02:13] ---
    I'm shocked because
    you didn't even tell us.
[02:16] ---
    I'm sorry! Kinako-chan, save me!
[02:20] ---
    But I figured we'd concentrate on training
    better where there's nothing around.
[02:25] ---
    And I figured we could get closer
    to the first-years, too.
[02:29] ---
    We can become one.
[02:31] ---
    Yeah, exactly! I figured we'd all
    naturally become closer here!
[02:36] ---
    I mean, I get it, but....
[02:37] ---
    But I don't know if that's
    enough to catch up to you...
[02:40] ---
    Exactly.
[02:43] ---
    This time, we'll go with the first-years!
[02:46] ---
    We're now going to fight
[02:48] ---
    Let's create our own wind
[02:52] ---
    We're going to climb
[02:54] ---
    We're never going to lose,
    we're going to win!
[03:00] ---
    More, more, more!!
[03:08] ---
    Let's always surpass
[03:10] ---
    Who we were yesterday
[03:14] ---
    Even if we don't know
[03:16] ---
    Just how much we can do,
    we're always fired up
[03:19] ---
    I want to smile together with you
[03:21] ---
    I want to know about worlds
    I've yet to discover
[03:25] ---
    I'm going to become stronger
[03:27] ---
    I don't wanna give up
[03:30] ---
    Are you ready? Let's start up right now!
[03:35] ---
    We're going to aim for the top
[03:38] ---
    More than now, more than ever
[03:41] ---
    Our hearts are pounding
[03:45] ---
    Let's make it come true!
[03:46] ---
    Right at this moment, as much as we can
[03:49] ---
    We're dreaming,
    because that's all we can do
[03:52] ---
    We met, so this wish gives us passion
[03:57] ---
    We can go
[04:01] ---
    Let's make the impossible happen
[04:05] ---
    We're going to continue believing,
    so WE WILL!
[04:17] ---
    Me?
[04:18] ---
    Yeah. Wanna try coming up
    with the choreography with me?
[04:21] ---
    "The Song That
    Resonates Through Shibuya"
[04:22] ---
    Both the song and the dance
    for the Tokyo Tournament
[04:24] ---
    will be a joint effort between
    the first and second-years.
[04:27] ---
    That'll definitely bring us all closer.
[04:30] ---
    Acknowledged... But I can't.
[04:33] ---
    Why? You're the best dancer
    out of the first-years.
[04:38] ---
    Simply put, if you were a Miyama
    stag beetle, Chisato-senpai,
[04:42] ---
    then I'm just a pillbug.
[04:44] ---
    Nothing about that was simple.
[04:46] ---
    Anyway, I can't.
[04:48] ---
    You seem to have
    the wrong idea, Shiki-chan.
[04:51] ---
    I'm not saying you need to
    compete with me with dancing.
[04:55] ---
    I want us to decide
    the choreography together.
[04:57] ---
    I want you to help me out. Then...
[05:01] ---
    I'll try to think up
    some choreography first,
[05:04] ---
    then you'll give me your opinions.
[05:06] ---
    Let's give that a try.
[05:12] ---
    Damn it! This is impossible!
[05:14] ---
    This is too difficult.
[05:16] ---
    We probably did need
    that key from earlier.
[05:18] ---
    I agree! Let us go back and get it.
[05:20] ---
    Yeah! All right! Let's continue... uh.
[05:24] ---
    Now's not the time for this!
[05:26] ---
    I think I had too much fun
    doing co-op again after so long.
[05:30] ---
    We're supposed to be
    writing the song, right?
[05:31] ---
    Yes!
[05:32] ---
    Don't expect too much out of me, though.
[05:34] ---
    I can play piano,
[05:35] ---
    but I've just been learning it
    since I was little because of my parents.
[05:38] ---
    I heard you the other day!
    Your potential to grow is infinite!
[05:42] ---
    Give me a break...
[05:44] ---
    But if you continued playing
    this whole time,
[05:46] ---
    that must mean you don't dislike it.
[05:48] ---
    Now, then...
[05:56] ---
    Next, it's your turn, Mei-san.
[06:07] ---
    Kanon-senpai...
[06:09] ---
    Any lyrics coming to mind?
[06:11] ---
    Currently, no.
    Does this really help you think?
[06:19] ---
    I'm not doing so well today either.
[06:21] ---
    Kanon-senpai!
[06:23] ---
    I've got notebooks of lyrics
    I've written stashed in my room.
[06:28] ---
    If you'd like...
    Actually, it's too embarrassing!
[06:32] ---
    Don't force yourself. They're notebooks
    filled with your precious thoughts.
[06:38] ---
    Oh, no... My words aren't that...
[06:41] ---
    I'm actually pretty embarrassed, too.
[06:44] ---
    You are?
[06:45] ---
    At first, when I had to show everyone,
    I was like, "Aaah!"
[06:50] ---
    So much that I want to
    rip up my notebooks.
[06:52] ---
    I can't believe it...
[06:55] ---
    I freak out each time on my own.
[06:58] ---
    That's why I'm sort of relieved that
    you thought it was embarrassing.
[07:02] ---
    But... I feel like I'm
    dragging you down with me.
[07:06] ---
    And that's fine!
[07:08] ---
    But after that, I can drag you
    into happiness and awe,
[07:13] ---
    so I definitely want you to do this.
[07:17] ---
    Let's do our best together.
[07:19] ---
    Oninattsu!
[07:21] ---
    I'm getting up-close-and-personal
    footage with Liella! today!
[07:25] ---
    --I'm gonna get right up in their faces!
[07:26] ---
    --Hey.
    --I'm gonna get right up in their faces!
[07:27] ---
    What the heck is this?
[07:28] ---
    It's to tell the other schools
    that we won't be beat.
[07:30] ---
    Why did you have to
    make something like this again?!
[07:30] ---
    "Yuigaoka Girls' High School Idol Club"
[07:33] ---
    We have a virtual press conference
    with the rest of our rivals next.
[07:36] ---
    Our battle will start there.
[07:38] ---
    Can't you just use a virtual
    background on a stream?
[07:42] ---
    Sh-Shut up!
[07:43] ---
    That's why we're going to show everyone
    how great making something by hand can be.
[07:46] ---
    Excuse me...
[07:47] ---
    What?!
[07:48] ---
    Er, well...
[07:50] ---
    You two are so weird.
[07:52] ---
    First, you cry and hug each other,
    then you fight.
[07:54] ---
    Is this really going to work?
[07:56] ---
    Keke is just stubborn.
[07:58] ---
    What?! It's because you're
    so annoying, Sumire!
[08:03] ---
    "Yuigaoka Girls' High School Idol Club"
[08:04] ---
    --Money! The production costs
    will be wasted!
[08:06] ---
    --Keep it up!
    --Money! The production costs
    will be wasted!
[08:07] ---
    What are you doing?
[08:11] ---
    Okay, it's starting.
[08:12] ---
    Kanon!
[08:15] ---
    The moment has finally arrived!
[08:17] ---
    We will now begin
    this remote press conference!
[08:21] ---
    Let's have you all tell us
    what you're most excited about.
[08:25] ---
    It's starting...
[08:26] ---
    "Yuigaoka Girls' High School Idol Club"
[08:27] ---
    Why masking tape, though?
[08:28] ---
    Don't ask.
[08:29] ---
    It's because Sumire can never shut up.
[08:31] ---
    Quiet! It's our turn soon.
[08:34] ---
    Okay, Liella! Show us what you've got!
[08:37] ---
    Hello, everyone! We're...
[08:40] ---
    ...Yuigaoka Girls'
    High School Idol Club...
[08:42] ---
    Liella!
[08:46] ---
    Um...
[08:48] ---
    Last year, Liella! didn't
    make it to the finals.
[08:52] ---
    And now, a year later, we're all
    working hard to make it to the finals.
[08:59] ---
    If we can, we want to win,
[09:01] ---
    and make it a performance where
    we can make everyone smile.
[09:05] ---
    We hope that...
[09:06] ---
    ...you'll be cheering us on!
[09:08] ---
    Thank you!
[09:10] ---
    And that's all from Liella!
[09:14] ---
    I'm never going to get used to that.
[09:16] ---
    That's not true.
    Thanks for helping me out there.
[09:20] ---
    Nah, I just ended up
    talking without thinking.
[09:22] ---
    Next up, we have the one everyone's
    got their eyes on... Wien Margarete-chan!
[09:29] ---
    Wow!
[09:30] ---
    She's expressionless as ever.
[09:32] ---
    Did you really just say that?
[09:34] ---
    The reason I am participating
    in the Love Live is
[09:36] ---
    so that I can prove to all of
    the school idols how low-level this is.
[09:42] ---
    I'll show you what a real song is.
[09:46] ---
    That's all.
[09:50] ---
    We have an unbelievable
    school idol on our hands, folks!
[09:51] ---
    "Challie: Whoa, there..."
    "Reporter Shibuya's Pupil:
    That's a bold statement!!" "Chankonabe: Real song--"
[09:53] ---
    "Nao-chan Mama: What's going to happen??"
    "Mameta: How's this going to turn out?"
    "I Wanna Eat Beef Bowls: Well, this is different."
[09:55] ---
    The Love Live is low level?!
[09:57] ---
    That's BS! Who do you think you are?!
[10:01] ---
    But she defeated the champions, Sunny Pas.
[10:05] ---
    Well...
[10:07] ---
    Wow... She's definitely trouble.
    What's gonna happen?
[10:18] ---
    Shut up. Let me relax.
[10:24] ---
    I'll show you what a real song is.
[10:28] ---
    That's all.
[10:31] ---
    Are you thinking about Margarete-chan?
[10:33] ---
    Yeah.
[10:34] ---
    This is bad. When I'm alone,
    I overthink this.
[10:37] ---
    It's our turn to bathe soon, right?
[10:39] ---
    The first-years are doing their best.
[10:41] ---
    I'm sure they'll be even better
    by the Tokyo Tournament.
[10:44] ---
    Yeah... I'm proud of all of them.
[10:47] ---
    Though...
[10:51] ---
    What does she mean by a "real song"?
[10:54] ---
    You mean what Margarete-chan said?
[10:55] ---
    You heard her... She said she'd
    show us what a real song is.
[10:59] ---
    Yeah.
[11:00] ---
    At the Fes where she had
    her debut performance
[11:02] ---
    and the regional prelims where
    she beat out Sunny Passion,
[11:05] ---
    Margarete-chan's singing
    and dancing were superb.
[11:10] ---
    But... Is that what she means
    by a real song?
[11:15] ---
    It is pretty amazing. She's completely
    expressing her own world.
[11:20] ---
    I'm sure that Margarete-chan
    loves songs, too.
[11:23] ---
    And that's why she
[11:24] ---
    should know how amazing they are
    because they can make you laugh or cry.
[11:29] ---
    And yet, the only feeling I get
    from her is "I'm going to win."
[11:33] ---
    That's the only thing piercing my chest.
[11:36] ---
    It's almost like it's... ice.
[11:42] ---
    Night.
[11:44] ---
    Okay, let's go. We're making
    the first-years wait.
[11:47] ---
    Oh.
[11:51] ---
    Girls...
[11:52] ---
    They must've wanted to practice
    after seeing Margarete-chan.
[11:56] ---
    Not bad.
[11:58] ---
    They're all lovely.
[12:01] ---
    Two, three, four,
    five, six, seven, eight...
[12:05] ---
    One, two...
[12:07] ---
    Hey...
[12:10] ---
    Can I decide tomorrow's training regimen?
[12:16] ---
    Love Live! Superstar!!
[12:19] ---
    Today... we have no training!
[12:23] ---
    What?!
[12:24] ---
    Where'd this come from?
[12:25] ---
    When you work hard,
    you need to rest hard, too.
[12:27] ---
    But...
[12:28] ---
    We might've been concentrating too much
    on getting better and winning.
[12:34] ---
    So I wanna forget all that just this once.
[12:36] ---
    We'll forget about singing and training
    and just go have some fun!
[12:48] ---
    This feels wonderful.
[12:49] ---
    Way to go, Ren-senpai!
[12:54] ---
    S-S-Stop!
[12:56] ---
    You're such a scaredy-cat.
[12:58] ---
    Come on, come on, come on...
[13:00] ---
    Ooh! Yes!
[13:02] ---
    Big haul.
[13:05] ---
    Why can't I get any?
[13:06] ---
    Must be due to how you usually are.
[13:09] ---
    Big haul.
[13:14] ---
    A perfect... circle!
[13:16] ---
    Want to try to make some takoyaki, too?
[13:18] ---
    Great idea!
[13:19] ---
    Hey, you two.
[13:21] ---
    It doesn't matter how hard you do this.
    It won't turn into money.
[13:23] ---
    We need more money shots.
[13:25] ---
    This is fine!
[13:27] ---
    We have all nine of us here.
    Let's make tons of memories.
[13:31] ---
    Well...
[13:32] ---
    We'll make takoyaki later,
    so let's do what you want to do right now.
[13:38] ---
    What I want to do?
[13:43] ---
    I wanted to have a snowball fight!
[13:46] ---
    We can't have a snowball fight
    with just three people!
[13:49] ---
    Abeshi!
[13:50] ---
    Nattsu...
[13:52] ---
    Natsumi-chan?
[13:54] ---
    Then let's call everyone over
    and have a snowball fight.
[13:57] ---
    Yeah!
[13:58] ---
    Man, that was fun.
[14:01] ---
    We can't upload a video of us playing
    right before the Tokyo Tournament.
[14:05] ---
    We wasted time.
[14:07] ---
    Now that we spent a whole day
    doing other things,
[14:11] ---
    I just want to train again.
[14:14] ---
    Me, too.
[14:15] ---
    Actually, me, as well.
[14:17] ---
    Me, too!
[14:18] ---
    All of you?
[14:20] ---
    Where's Kanon-senpai?
[14:30] ---
    A new song...
[14:32] ---
    I thought we were just playing, but...
[14:35] ---
    We were wrong.
[14:37] ---
    Let's finish this song
    that Kanon is trying to create.
[14:41] ---
    Yeah!
[14:42] ---
    I'm getting excited!
[14:43] ---
    This is going to go viral!
[14:46] ---
    A song we all make together.
[15:18] ---
    "Kinoko's Secret Notebook"
[15:20] ---
    "Goes beyond fun..."
[15:45] ---
    We're done with the lyrics.
[15:48] ---
    The choreography's done.
[15:50] ---
    The song is done, too.
[15:51] ---
    We figured out the outfits, too.
[15:54] ---
    We do our best, get everyone's support,
    and we all grow together.
[16:01] ---
    I really think being
    school idols is wonderful.
[16:04] ---
    It's so much fun...
[16:06] ---
    And so much work.
[16:08] ---
    But there's a joy we can
    only experience here.
[16:12] ---
    Those feelings become a song
    and comes pouring out.
[16:15] ---
    Looking back,
    Liella!'s always been like that.
[16:19] ---
    This is what a real song is to us.
[16:23] ---
    You mean Margarete-san meant with...
[16:27] ---
    ... a real song.
[16:28] ---
    Yes. Our real...
[16:39] ---
    It's finally starting.
[16:41] ---
    Yeah.
[16:46] ---
    It'll be okay.
[16:47] ---
    Kanon Shibuya.
[16:53] ---
    Margarete-chan!
[16:56] ---
    I'll show you what a real song is.
    The true power of songs.
[17:01] ---
    And... I will build my own future.
[17:06] ---
    With the power of song.
[17:11] ---
    No...
[17:13] ---
    That's not right.
[17:15] ---
    This isn't...
[17:19] ---
    This isn't a real song.
[17:30] ---
    ♬ Walking through this
    quiet city filled with rubble ♬
[17:36] ---
    ♬ I can hear them,
    voices about to disappear ♬
[17:43] ---
    ♬ They are waiting for
    someone to find them ♬
[17:50] ---
    ♬ I will shatter that weakness for you ♬
[18:09] ---
    ♬ Shine! I'm going to
    believe in myself and shine ♬
[18:17] ---
    ♬ Proudly, passionately,

[18:20] ---
    ♬ My heart burns as I embrace it ♬
[18:23] ---
    ♬ I will now try to
    make this wish come true ♬
[18:30] ---
    ♬ And I'll even change
    these tears into passion ♬
[19:01] ---
    That was amazing.
[19:04] ---
    I got goosebumps.
[19:06] ---
    She's got the presence of a victor.
[19:11] ---
    And now, we have to perform...
[19:14] ---
    Okay, let's go!
    Everyone at school is watching.
[19:18] ---
    Let's let Liella!'s song
    resonate through Shibuya!
[19:24] ---
    One!
[19:25] ---
    Two!
[19:26] ---
    Three!
[19:27] ---
    --Four!
    --Five!
[19:28] ---
    --Six!
    --Seven!
[19:30] ---
    --Eight!
    --Nine!
[19:32] ---
    Yuigaoka's School Idol Club, Liella!
[19:35] ---
    Let's let our song be heard by everyone!
[19:37] ---
    Song for me! Song for you!
[19:40] ---
    Song for all!
[19:42] ---
    ♬ Sing! Let's sing together!
    Smile! Let's connect our hearts ♬
[19:51] ---
    ♬ Shine! Let's make them shine!
    Smile! These stars filled with smiles ♬

    ♬ In the past or the future ♬
[20:08] ---

[21:22] ---
    ♬ Shine! Let's make them shine!
    Smile! These stars filled with smiles ♬
[21:43] ---
    Who won?!
[21:44] ---
    You're rushing a bit...
[21:52] ---
    "Results"
[22:08] ---
    Beyond the dream I'm chasing,
    I'd always see
[22:13] ---
    This star called hope,
    and because it shines, because it shines
[22:21] ---
    Even if I stumbled,
    I could keep moving forward
[22:26] ---
    Just where am I headed
    beyond this dream I'm chasing?
[22:35] ---
    We'll get lost again among our encounters
[22:39] ---
    But we can enjoy that, too
[22:44] ---
    When you're able to do something that you
    thought seemed possible but wasn't
[22:48] ---
    It makes you so happy that you want to
    work hard and your heart wants to pop out
[22:55] ---
    Ah
[22:57] ---
    We want to tell everyone
    to laugh more and sing more
[23:02] ---
    So let's keep going even further
[23:06] ---
    The world keeps expanding and
    some of the scenery might change
[23:11] ---
    But our passion will never change!
[23:14] ---
    There are dreams we want to see come true
    by overcoming a lot of frustration
[23:20] ---
    Come on, everyone,
    let's make them come true
[23:24] ---
    I wonder what kind of excitement
    we'll play tomorrow
[23:29] ---
    Let's change the future!
[23:37] ---

    Previously on Love Live! Superstar!!
[00:04] ---
    In order to get through
    the Tokyo Tournament,
[00:05] ---
    we held a training camp
    to bring us all closer together.
[00:08] ---
    But then, at a press conference,
    Margarete-chan said...
[00:11] ---
    I'll show you what a real song is.
[00:13] ---
    What does she mean by a "real song"?
[00:15] ---
    While we all worked together
    to create a song...
[00:18] ---
    We do our best, get everyone's support,
    and we all grow together.
[00:24] ---
    The nine of us worked together
    and found our real song.
[00:28] ---
    The results of the Tokyo Tournament
    will be revealed... Now!
[00:51] ---
    Huh?
[00:52] ---
    Wait, does that mean...
[00:59] ---
    Liella!...
[01:01] ---
    We won...
[01:02] ---
    Now...
[01:04] ---
    We get to go to nationals...
[01:06] ---
    Kanon-chan!
[01:07] ---
    Chi-chan!
[01:08] ---
    Yes!
[01:10] ---
    I'm so happy!
[01:11] ---
    The nine of us...
[01:13] ---
    ...have won!
[01:14] ---
    Next up, nationals!
[01:16] ---
    Liella!
[01:22] ---
    Look... Everyone's so happy for us.
[01:26] ---
    We were finally able to surpass
    our record from last year.
[01:31] ---
    Because we worked together
    with everyone at school...
[01:37] ---
    We did it!
[01:39] ---
    This is inconceivable!
[01:44] ---
    I will not accept these results!
[01:51] ---
    We're now going to fight
[01:53] ---
    Let's create our own wind
[01:57] ---
    We're going to climb
[01:59] ---
    We're never going to lose,
    we're going to win!
[02:05] ---
    More, more, more!!
[02:13] ---
    Let's always surpass
[02:15] ---
    Who we were yesterday
[02:19] ---
    Even if we don't know
[02:21] ---
    Just how much we can do,
    we're always fired up
[02:24] ---
    I want to smile together with you
[02:26] ---
    I want to know about worlds
    I've yet to discover
[02:30] ---
    I'm going to become stronger
[02:32] ---
    I don't wanna give up
[02:35] ---
    Are you ready? Let's start up right now!
[02:40] ---
    We're going to aim for the top
[02:43] ---
    More than now, more than ever
[02:46] ---
    Our hearts are pounding
[02:50] ---
    Let's make it come true!
[02:51] ---
    Right at this moment, as much as we can
[02:54] ---
    We're dreaming,
    because that's all we can do
[02:57] ---
    We met, so this wish gives us passion
[03:02] ---
    We can go
[03:05] ---
    Let's make the impossible happen
[03:10] ---
    We're going to continue believing,
    so WE WILL!
[03:21] ---
    Margarete-chan!
[03:23] ---
    This result is the answer everyone
    who heard us came up with.
[03:27] ---
    You're not alone
    when you're a school idol.
[03:30] ---
    We can do amazing performances
    because we all work together.
[03:33] ---
    If you can't understand that,
[03:35] ---
    then I don't want you standing on
    the same stage as other school idols.
[03:45] ---
    "Dream"
[03:48] ---
    "Congratulations, Liella!
    on going to the Love Live!"
[03:49] ---
    Cheers!
[03:55] ---
    I'm so happy.
[03:56] ---
    I've never had juice
    that tastes this good.
[03:59] ---
    I wasn't sure how things would end up
    for a sec because of Margarete, but...
[04:03] ---
    We were able to get through this
    because the first-years worked so hard!
[04:06] ---
    I'm so proud!
[04:08] ---
    Really?
[04:09] ---
    We're all abuzz online right now.
[04:11] ---
    Everyone's saying the new members
    who joined this year worked hard.
SIGN    "The Final 47 Schools for the Love Live Decided! The First-Years from Tokyo's Liella! Worked Really Hard!!"
[04:15] ---
    Y-You're right.
[04:17] ---
    Mei is a crybaby.
[04:18] ---
    We're finally going to nationals!
[04:22] ---
    I'm still really mad at that
    Wien Margarete girl, though.
[04:26] ---
    Yeah! How dare she sully
    the hallowed stage of the Love Live?
[04:30] ---
    Her words are coming back to bite her.
[04:33] ---
    She's being ripped apart right now.
[04:36] ---
    "I don't want her to participate
    in the Love Live ever again."
[04:39] ---
    It's a shame. Her song was really nice.
[04:42] ---
    Even if she didn't agree,
[04:43] ---
    that may not have been the best place.
[04:45] ---
    Yeah, sorry, but she got
    what she deserved.
[04:49] ---
    I wonder why she said that.
[04:51] ---
    Probably because she was mad.
[04:55] ---
    Is that really it, though?
[04:58] ---
    Happy New Year!
[05:01] ---
    Yeah!
[05:04] ---
    Happy...
[05:05] ---
    ...New Year?
[05:06] ---
    Oh, right. Today's...
[05:08] ---
    New Year's...
[05:10] ---
    ...Day?
[05:12] ---
    Oh.
[05:14] ---
    It's the new year.
[05:16] ---
    What?!
[05:17] ---
    "First Shrine Visit"
[05:22] ---
    Jeez, it's cold at night.
[05:25] ---
    This is nothing compared to Hokkaido.
[05:28] ---
    But there sure are a lot of people.
[05:30] ---
    This is how it is every year.
[05:32] ---
    Do you come here every year, Kanon?
[05:34] ---
    No way. I don't like crowds,
    so I prefer lazing around in a kotatsu.
[05:40] ---
    Lazing around in a kotatsu...?
[05:41] ---
    Wait, you don't know what a kotatsu is?
[05:44] ---
    I do not. We don't have one at my house.
[05:54] ---
    This place has less people
    and is much better.
[05:56] ---
    Quit rubbing it in.
[05:58] ---
    But as a local,
    I think I feel more relaxed here.
[06:02] ---
    Yeah.
[06:04] ---
    All right, then!
[06:05] ---
    May this year be another great year
    where we all get along,
[06:08] ---
    get to sing great songs,
    and put on great performances!
[06:14] ---
    Yeah!
[06:16] ---
    New Year's money! New Year's money!
[06:21] ---
    We're finally going to the finals...
[06:26] ---
    People are still saying stuff
    about Margarete-chan...
[06:37] ---
    Margarete-chan's social media account...
[06:41] ---
    A music school?
[06:42] ---
    Yeah.
[06:43] ---
    Apparently, for high school,
[06:45] ---
    she was trying to get into the music
    school in Vienna that her sister went to,
[06:50] ---
    but she didn't get in.
[06:51] ---
    Yeesh.
[06:52] ---
    I had my dad translate her post for me
    and that's what it said.
[06:57] ---
    I see... But why did she
    enter the Love Live?
[07:02] ---
    She didn't mention that.
    It is strange, isn't it?
[07:06] ---
    Maybe to get back at someone?
[07:09] ---
    But she was in Vienna, wasn't she?
    So why did she come all the way to Japan?
[07:14] ---
    Right...
[07:17] ---
    Are you curious?
[07:18] ---
    Huh? Yeah...
[07:21] ---
    I heard she didn't get in,
    and honestly, I can relate.
[07:26] ---
    Like how it feels to try so hard
    with music and yet... you know.
[07:30] ---
    Yeah...
[07:33] ---
    Oh, sorry to bug you
    while you're training.
[07:36] ---
    I'll call you again
    if I find out anything else.
[07:44] ---
    Oh, this just got posted...
[07:56] ---
    It's here.
[08:08] ---
    You're Margarete-chan, aren't you?
[08:10] ---
    You must have the wrong person.
[08:16] ---
    Oh, for crying out loud!
[08:29] ---
    You didn't get into the music school
    back in Vienna, right?
[08:34] ---
    You wanted to go to the same school as
    your sister, but couldn't get in, right?
[08:40] ---
    Where did you hear that?
[08:42] ---
    You wrote it...
[08:45] ---
    I actually also failed to get into
    the program I wanted to be in.
[08:49] ---
    I tried to get into
    the music program and failed...
[08:51] ---
    Don't compare me to you!
[08:53] ---
    I'm on a completely different level!
[08:58] ---
    But we probably both felt like
    we had our dreams taken from us.
[09:05] ---
    It was a dream of mine
    ever since I was little
[09:09] ---
    to spread my song throughout the world.
[09:12] ---
    I wanted to make people all around
    the world smile with my singing.
[09:16] ---
    That's why I practiced lots,
    but I had so much fun,
[09:20] ---
    that it never felt rough.
[09:22] ---
    But then suddenly, I couldn't sing
    in front of people anymore.
[09:26] ---
    Meaning the music program was an
    impossible dream for me back then.
[09:30] ---
    Are you trying to say you pity me?
[09:32] ---
    No! I'm not pitying you...
[09:35] ---
    Don't give me that! You defeated me
    and stole away my dream!
[09:40] ---
    Stole away your dream?
[09:42] ---
    Never mind.
[09:44] ---
    What do you mean?
[09:46] ---
    I'm leaving.
[09:47] ---
    Margarete-chan!
[09:49] ---
    What do you mean that I stole your dream?
[09:53] ---
    What do you mean?
[09:57] ---
    Tell me.
[10:01] ---
    --That was the agreement.
    --Huh?
[10:03] ---
    People know about the Love Live
    where I'm from, too.
[10:07] ---
    Even though I failed the exam,
    if I could win there,
[10:10] ---
    they said they'd let me in as a transfer.
[10:14] ---
    Transfer?
[10:16] ---
    I come from a musical family.
[10:19] ---
    If my family puts in a good word for me,
    I might be able to get into the school.
[10:24] ---
    Then I might be able to
    join my sisters there.
[10:28] ---
    And that's why you entered the Love Live?
[10:30] ---
    Of course. Otherwise, there's no way I'd
    enter such a worthless competition.
[10:35] ---
    But the Love Live isn't worthless.
[10:38] ---
    It is.
[10:40] ---
    I can't believe they thought
    your group was better than me.
[10:44] ---
    The competition and audience that
    actually thought that is also worthless.
[10:49] ---
    I'm sure you know which one of us
    was the better singer.
[10:53] ---
    You still have a chance
    to forfeit the finals.
[10:58] ---
    I can't.
[11:00] ---
    Because...
[11:01] ---
    I truly believe that we won.
[11:06] ---
    Out of all things to say...
[11:08] ---
    We all sang our song because
    we wanted everyone to hear it.
[11:13] ---
    We were able to become one.
[11:18] ---
    Our feelings were stronger than yours.
[11:23] ---
    You're not making any sense.
[11:32] ---
    "Congratulations Liella! for
    Making It to the Love Live Finals!"
[11:32] ---
    Thanks to all of you,
    we were able to make it to the finals.
[11:37] ---
    As the student council president
    and as a member of Liella!,
[11:40] ---
    I'd like to offer my gratitude.
[11:42] ---
    Thank you very much.
[11:44] ---
    Now you girls just have to
    win the whole thing!
[11:46] ---
    It's totally possible
    for Liella! right now.
[11:48] ---
    Everyone at the school's gonna
    come together and root for you.
[11:51] ---
    Everyone...
[11:52] ---
    Go win that thing!
[11:54] ---
    Win...
[11:56] ---
    Well, we got this far. Let's do our best
    so we can finish with a smile next time.
[12:00] ---
    Yeah.
[12:01] ---
    All of the first-years and second-years
    are such good people.
[12:04] ---
    I'm so blessed.
[12:06] ---
    I'm sure that Ren-chan's mom
    just brought us all together.
[12:11] ---
    Yes.
[12:12] ---
    You might be right!
[12:14] ---
    It's oddly convincing when you two say it.
[12:17] ---
    Why, though?!
[12:19] ---
    We're on stage.
[12:24] ---
    What the heck was that supposed to mean?
[12:28] ---
    Just your character, or something!
[12:31] ---
    Why, yes. I agree on
    Sumire-senpai's lack of character.
[12:35] ---
    Now, hold on a second, all of you!
[12:38] ---
    At least I'm not greedy like you!
[12:40] ---
    What do you mean by greedy?
[12:42] ---
    There are certain things you should
    never say, Giant Isopod-senpai!
[12:46] ---
    Who told you that?!
[12:48] ---
    --Pretty much everyone knows.
[12:50] ---
    --♬ Giant isopod... Giant isopod... ♬
    --Pretty much everyone knows.
[12:51] ---
    --♬ Giant isopod... Giant isopod... ♬
[12:54] ---
    Stop that!
[12:56] ---
    You're not going to step in, Keke-chan?
[12:58] ---
    Correct. I'm happy that she's
    found someone to play with.
[13:01] ---
    It's not like that!
[13:03] ---
    Okay, enough talking, everyone.
[13:05] ---
    We're gonna start training
    for the finals starting today.
[13:11] ---
    Director?
[13:16] ---
    Love Live! Superstar!!
[13:19] ---
    The Vienna National Academy of Music?
[13:22] ---
    Yes. It has the best instructors
    and facilities,
[13:27] ---
    and is considered
    the best music school in the world.
[13:33] ---
    Margarete-chan?!
[13:34] ---
    --What?
    --Er, nothing.
[13:36] ---
    We got an email from them this morning.
[13:40] ---
    They said that they'd like to
    invite Kanon Shibuya-san
[13:43] ---
    who goes to our school to their own school
[13:46] ---
    as an international transfer student.
[13:48] ---
    Transfer student...
[13:49] ---
    You can find out more
    from the documents there.
[13:51] ---
    You'd be starting this April.
[13:54] ---
    As for tuition and living expenses,
[13:56] ---
    they said they would
    take care of all of it,
[13:58] ---
    so you needn't worry. Also...
[14:00] ---
    Wait!
[14:03] ---
    I'm not sure if I'm going to go...
[14:05] ---
    Of course, the choice is yours.
[14:06] ---
    It's just that if you're serious about
    pursuing singing professionally...
[14:12] ---
    This is a huge opportunity.
[14:17] ---
    You don't have to
    give me an answer immediately.
[14:20] ---
    Take your time to think it over.
[14:21] ---
    I-I can't hear...
[14:23] ---
    Shiki! Do you have a mic in there?
[14:25] ---
    There's no way
    I could've anticipated this.
[14:29] ---
    Girls...
[14:30] ---
    K-Kanon-senpai... Is something wrong?
[14:32] ---
    What a coincidence!
[14:34] ---
    You're totally obvious, by the way.
[14:36] ---
    What were you talking about?
[14:38] ---
    Did you do something bad behind our backs?
[14:41] ---
    No.
[14:42] ---
    Stare...
[14:44] ---
    Oh, this is just... I was looking into
    Margarete-chan a bit more.
[14:50] ---
    Margarete-chan?
[14:52] ---
    Apparently, she was trying to
    get into this music school.
[14:57] ---
    What's it say?
[14:59] ---
    The Vienna National Academy of Music.
[15:01] ---
    That's an elite school.
[15:03] ---
    Yeah.
[15:04] ---
    And the director just happened to have
    some documents from the school.
[15:10] ---
    What's wrong?
[15:11] ---
    No, it's nothing.
[15:15] ---
    Okay, let's start training! All right!
[15:19] ---
    Here we go!
[15:23] ---
    Did you know Kanon was
    looking up all this stuff, Chisato?
[15:27] ---
    Yeah. I figured it had
    been on her mind, but...
[15:34] ---
    "After receiving professional guidance,
[15:36] ---
    our graduates will be able to
    enter the field of their choice
[15:40] ---
    and continue their musical
    careers on a world level."
[15:54] ---
    Dream? I already knew that
    since I was little.
[16:05] ---
    Ow, ow, ow, already!
[16:13] ---
    Lift me up higher!
[16:15] ---
    We can't!
[16:18] ---
    Kanon-senpai found us.
[16:21] ---
    Everyone...
[16:23] ---
    Kanon-chan...
[16:27] ---
    Are you really going to study abroad?!
[16:30] ---
    Huh?
[16:30] ---
    There's a rumor going around.
[16:32] ---
    That you're going to study abroad
    in Vienna after the Love Live.
[16:46] ---
    Hey!
[16:47] ---
    Look out!
[16:53] ---
    Are you okay?!
[16:56] ---
    I guess you were all worried
    about me... Thanks.
[17:01] ---
    Kanon-senpai...
[17:03] ---
    Don't worry. I'm not going.
[17:06] ---
    Huh?
[17:07] ---
    Does that mean...
[17:09] ---
    Yeah. It's true that we talked about it,
    but I'm not going.
[17:15] ---
    After getting into Yuigaoka
    and becoming a school idol,
[17:20] ---
    I was able to say that
    I love singing again.
[17:24] ---
    And that's why I want
    to stay at this school.
[17:27] ---
    I want to sing even more, work hard
    all three years as a school idol,
[17:31] ---
    and I want to become even happier
    with everyone at this school.
[17:37] ---
    Kanon-san.
[17:38] ---
    So, hey. I thought about this
    when we were all able to
[17:41] ---
    celebrate together at
    the Tokyo Tournament...
[17:44] ---
    I hadn't taken a wrong turn
    on my journey after all.
[17:48] ---
    To keep this happiness going
    is one of my goals.
[17:56] ---
    Looks like she made up her mind.
[17:58] ---
    So you're going to stay?
[18:01] ---
    Next year...
[18:03] ---
    Until you graduate?
[18:04] ---
    You're staying?
[18:06] ---
    Of course.
[18:08] ---
    Thank goodness!
[18:10] ---
    You were that worried?
[18:12] ---
    Of course!
[18:14] ---
    Well if you left, the number of senpais
    we can actually trust would go down...
[18:20] ---
    What was that?
[18:21] ---
    Oh, nothing.
[18:26] ---
    Chisato-san?
[18:27] ---
    Oh, it's nothing.
[18:34] ---
    She's...
[18:36] ---
    Is something wrong?
[18:38] ---
    No... Oh, I'm gonna go buy a drink!
[18:45] ---
    Wait!
[18:48] ---
    Wait! I want to talk to you!
[18:51] ---
    Wait!
[18:55] ---
    What?! I have nothing to say to you!
    I already heard the answer.
[19:00] ---
    Answer?
[19:00] ---
    Kanon! She's not going to study abroad.
    She's saying here, right?
[19:05] ---
    How do you know about that?
[19:07] ---
    That doesn't concern you!
[19:10] ---
    I'm not letting go until you tell me.
[19:12] ---
    Why...
[19:14] ---
    Tell me!
[19:21] ---
    I heard from my family today.
[19:24] ---
    If Kanon agreed to go to Vienna,
    they said I could come back.
[19:29] ---
    They wanted me to
    learn singing from Kanon.
[19:32] ---
    From Kanon-chan?
[19:34] ---
    I'd rather not take Kanon back with me,
[19:37] ---
    but if that'll get me into
    the school, then...
[19:41] ---
    Kanon-chan's actually that famous?
[19:44] ---
    Huh?
[19:45] ---
    By the most famous
    music school in the world...?
[19:50] ---
    Let go of me!
[19:52] ---
    Just so you know,
    I haven't changed my mind.
[19:55] ---
    If using Kanon won't work, I'll just
    see my dream come true on my own.
[20:04] ---
    You won't have regrets?
[20:05] ---
    I won't. I just don't think it's for me.
[20:09] ---
    I do realize it's
    a huge opportunity, but...
[20:13] ---
    The only one who can
    decide this is you. Are you sure?
[20:17] ---
    Yes.
[20:33] ---
    Arashi-san?
[20:34] ---
    Um...
[20:40] ---
    So cold...
[20:45] ---
    Why'd you bring a kotatsu?!
[20:47] ---
    This is not a kotatsu.
    It's a body-heat regulator.
[20:51] ---
    So comfy...
[20:54] ---
    It's clearly a kotatsu!
[20:55] ---
    So this is a kotatsu...
[20:58] ---
    You seriously didn't know?!
[21:00] ---
    Come on! The finals are
    just around the corner!
[21:03] ---
    Time to practice!
[21:06] ---
    I'm freezing just by watching you.
[21:08] ---
    Even I can't believe you right now...
[21:11] ---
    Oh, come on, now!
[21:13] ---
    If we all do our best
    and practice together...
[21:17] ---
    We'll warm right up in no time!
[21:22] ---
    It's so cold!
[21:28] ---
    Chi-chan! Is our training regimen ready?
[21:31] ---
    Kanon-chan... Actually, everyone.
[21:35] ---
    I need to talk to you.
[21:37] ---
    What's the matter?
[21:41] ---
    I know you probably won't agree with me,
    but this is how I really feel,
[21:46] ---
    so I'm just going to say it.
[21:48] ---
    Kanon-chan, I want you to...
[21:52] ---
    ...go study abroad.
[21:54] ---
    Chi-chan...
[22:08] ---
    Beyond the dream I'm chasing,
    I'd always see
[22:13] ---
    This star called hope,
    and because it shines, because it shines
[22:21] ---
    Even if I stumbled,
    I could keep moving forward
[22:26] ---
    Just where am I headed
    beyond this dream I'm chasing?
[22:35] ---
    We'll get lost again among our encounters
[22:39] ---
    But we can enjoy that, too
[22:44] ---
    When you're able to do something that you
    thought seemed possible but wasn't
[22:48] ---
    It makes you so happy that you want to
    work hard and your heart wants to pop out
[22:55] ---
    Ah
[22:57] ---
    We want to tell everyone
    to laugh more and sing more
[23:02] ---
    So let's keep going even further
[23:06] ---
    The world keeps expanding and
    some of the scenery might change
[23:11] ---
    But our passion will never change!
[23:14] ---
    There are dreams we want to see come true
    by overcoming a lot of frustration
[23:20] ---
    Come on, everyone,
    let's make them come true
[23:24] ---
    I wonder what kind of excitement
    we'll play tomorrow
[23:29] ---
    Let's change the future!
[23:37] ---

    Make Me Come True."

[00:02] ---
    Kanon-chan, I want you to...
[00:04] ---
    ...go study abroad.
[00:07] ---
    Chi-chan...
[00:08] ---
    You're going to resonate songs
    throughout the world, right?
[00:12] ---
    That was your dream
    when you were little, right?
[00:14] ---
    This is your opportunity
    to make that dream come true.
[00:19] ---
    I want you to make your
    dream come true, Kanon-chan.
[00:23] ---
    This is a dream only you
    can make come true.
[00:26] ---
    I feel the same way!
[00:28] ---
    But does it really have to be right now?
[00:33] ---
    But what if she turns down this offer
    and it never comes up again?
[00:36] ---
    Then it's fine. I'll deal with that then.
[00:39] ---
    Is everyone else okay with that?
[00:43] ---
    If that were to happen,
    aren't we going to feel like
[00:46] ---
    we stole away Kanon-chan's chance to
    fulfill her dream and regret it?
[00:50] ---
    But I'm the one who made this decision.
    I want to stay here at this--
[00:53] ---
    You're going to let your songs resonate
    around the world, aren't you?!
[01:01] ---
    This is your only chance
    for this opportunity.
[01:07] ---
    We're now going to fight
[01:09] ---
    Let's create our own wind
[01:13] ---
    We're going to climb
[01:15] ---
    We're never going to lose,
    we're going to win!
[01:20] ---
    More, more, more!!
[01:29] ---
    Let's always surpass
[01:31] ---
    Who we were yesterday
[01:34] ---
    Even if we don't know
[01:37] ---
    Just how much we can do,
    we're always fired up
[01:40] ---
    I want to smile together with you
[01:42] ---
    I want to know about worlds
    I've yet to discover
[01:45] ---
    I'm going to become stronger
[01:48] ---
    I don't wanna give up
[01:51] ---
    Are you ready? Let's start up right now!
[01:56] ---
    We're going to aim for the top
[01:59] ---
    More than now, more than ever
[02:02] ---
    Our hearts are pounding
[02:06] ---
    Let's make it come true!
[02:07] ---
    Right at this moment, as much as we can
[02:10] ---
    We're dreaming,
    because that's all we can do
[02:13] ---
    We met, so this wish gives us passion
[02:18] ---
    We can go
[02:21] ---
    Let's make the impossible happen
[02:26] ---
    We're going to continue believing,
    so WE WILL!
[02:38] ---
    She loves Kanon.
[02:40] ---
    "The Story That'll
    Make Me Come True"
[02:40] ---
    Chisato has always
    thought about Kanon first.
[02:45] ---
    Well, they're childhood friends.
[02:47] ---
    She was striving for her dream,
    even as a little kid.
[02:50] ---
    Kanon's amazing, isn't she?
[02:52] ---
    That's exactly why I don't want her to
    miss out on studying abroad because of us.
[02:58] ---
    No matter how much Kanon
    might want to stay at this school.
[03:01] ---
    So you also agree to her studying abroad?
[03:04] ---
    I'm not sure.
[03:06] ---
    I want her to stay, but I don't.
[03:09] ---
    What's that supposed to mean?
[03:12] ---
    My God, you're as dense as ever.
[03:16] ---
    I'll be right back.
[03:18] ---
    Ren-sama, where are you
    headed at this hour?
[03:20] ---
    There's no need to worry.
    I'm just going to go see a friend.
[03:27] ---
    Chisato-san.
[03:29] ---
    Ren-chan?!
[03:30] ---
    Talk about a surprise!
    What are you doing here?
[03:32] ---
    You've been training on
    your own late into the night.
[03:35] ---
    I didn't have work today, and not doing
    anything just made me anxious.
[03:40] ---
    I was wondering if I said
    something I shouldn't have.
[03:44] ---
    Absolutely not.
[03:47] ---
    Your words resonated with all of us.
[03:51] ---
    Though it hasn't really sunk in that it
    would mean saying goodbye to Kanon-san.
[03:55] ---
    Same... I can't even imagine
    not seeing Kanon-chan every day.
[04:00] ---
    --I'm quite envious.
    --Huh?
[04:02] ---
    Before entering this school,
[04:05] ---
    I didn't have a single friend
    that I felt a deep connection with.
[04:10] ---
    Everyone saw me as
    someone from another world...
[04:15] ---
    And that's why...
[04:16] ---
    I respect you very much for being able to
    butt heads with the person you love.
[04:21] ---
    Ren-chan...
[04:23] ---
    Thanks. I also think of you as
    a close friend, Ren-chan.
[04:29] ---
    Likewise!
[04:31] ---
    Want to practice our choreography?
[04:32] ---
    Of course!
[04:38] ---
    I wonder how our senpais ended up.
[04:40] ---
    It's not really our place to say anything.
[04:43] ---
    I know that, but...
[04:46] ---
    I'm curious.
[04:47] ---
    Not to mention,
    Liella!'s future depends on this.
[04:49] ---
    If Kanon-senpai really
    ends up studying abroad,
[04:52] ---
    what's going to happen to Liella!?
[04:54] ---
    Well... If we go to the Love Live
    finals with the nine of us
[04:58] ---
    and manage to win,
[05:00] ---
    then Kanon-senpai might
    happily head off to Vienna...
[05:04] ---
    Liella! with eight members...
[05:08] ---
    And breaktime is over!
[05:10] ---
    The best thing we can
    do right now is train.
[05:14] ---
    Natsumi-chan...
[05:15] ---
    Yeah! Right now, we need to get
    as close to our senpais as possible,
[05:18] ---
    and strive to win!
[05:19] ---
    Yes!
[05:21] ---
    Okay, let's run one more time.
[05:24] ---
    Okay!
[05:31] ---
    "Chi-chan"
[05:51] ---
    I'm home.
[05:52] ---
    Welcome back.
[05:55] ---
    What's wrong?
[05:57] ---
    You look depressed.
[05:59] ---
    That's not true! See?
[06:07] ---
    I bought some takoyaki.
[06:09] ---
    Kanon, listen carefully.
[06:11] ---
    I'm not against the fact that you
    declined the offer to study abroad.
[06:16] ---
    I mean, I'd be worried
    and I'd miss you very much.
[06:20] ---
    But...
[06:21] ---
    You're unsure about this because
[06:23] ---
    you understand what Chi-chan
    was saying, too, right?
[06:25] ---
    Letting your songs resonate
    throughout the world...
[06:28] ---
    This offer that came to you isn't
    something that happens to others.
[06:32] ---
    I'd probably be happy to go.
[06:34] ---
    But that's because carefree, Mom.
[06:38] ---
    You might be right.
[06:40] ---
    I'm going to support you,
    no matter what path you choose.
[06:44] ---
    So just make sure
    you don't have any regrets.
[06:48] ---
    Yeah.
[06:52] ---
    Margarete-chan?
[06:53] ---
    Could I get some of your time?
[07:02] ---
    Sorry, did I warm it up too much?
[07:05] ---
    It's good.
[07:06] ---
    Glad to hear it.
[07:07] ---
    Why do you have takoyaki at a café?
[07:09] ---
    I was near Chi-chan's shop earlier.
[07:13] ---
    Chi? Oh...
[07:16] ---
    I'm the one who told her about
    the details of your opportunity.
[07:21] ---
    If you study abroad, I can also go back.
[07:25] ---
    I was told that I should
    study singing under you.
[07:30] ---
    But that's...
[07:32] ---
    That girl thought it was amazing that
    your skills were acknowledged so much.
[07:37] ---
    This really doesn't
    seem like it's about me.
[07:40] ---
    You're the one who got the offer.
[07:43] ---
    You're the only one who got it.
[07:47] ---
    I'm going to try to get back
    to Vienna on my own.
[07:51] ---
    I'm nothing but talk.
[07:54] ---
    I honestly don't want to
    be dragged back by you,
[07:58] ---
    but it's for the sake of my dream,
[07:59] ---
    so I'll use any way
    or means necessary.
[08:05] ---
    For me, Liella! and my school are
    just as important to me as my dream.
[08:12] ---
    If I hadn't enrolled at Yuigaoka,
    I probably would've given up singing.
[08:17] ---
    Losing a place and people so important
    to me honestly makes me scared.
[08:23] ---
    What a lavish problem.
[08:25] ---
    I'm sorry.
[08:28] ---
    In that case... You can repay
    everyone by studying abroad.
[08:31] ---
    Actually, you'd be able to help
    your school my by studying abroad.
[08:35] ---
    What?
[08:36] ---
    I told you, the Vienna National Academy
    of Music is renowned worldwide.
[08:41] ---
    If you study there, I promise
    your school will get noticed, too.
[08:46] ---
    You might even get students who
    want to enroll at Yuigaoka worldwide.
[08:52] ---
    But don't get the wrong idea.
[08:55] ---
    I just want to get back to Vienna.
[08:58] ---
    But why not try jumping in?
[09:00] ---
    It's very important.
[09:04] ---
    The place that singers strive to get to...
[09:13] ---
    Dreams...
SIGN    "Kanon-chan."
SIGN    "Kanon-chan."
    "Can you meet me
    at school right now??"
[09:24] ---
    Kanon?
[09:25] ---
    I won't be out long. I'll be right back.
[09:28] ---
    You can take your time.
[09:30] ---
    Huh?
[09:30] ---
    Think about this carefully
    and then give your answer.
[09:34] ---
    Okay.
[09:35] ---
    I'll see you later, Manmaru.
[09:49] ---
    Hey.
[10:00] ---
    School is somehow so exciting at night.
[10:02] ---
    It's scary!
[10:05] ---
    Director...
[10:07] ---
    She said she'd wait.
[10:16] ---
    Took you long enough.
[10:17] ---
    We came because we wanted
    to see you, Kanon-senpai.
[10:21] ---
    I'm sorry for being selfish.
[10:23] ---
    I just wanted to get your answer again
    after you thought about it.
[10:27] ---
    It's okay.
[10:29] ---
    I felt like you saw right through me...
[10:31] ---
    I thought I decided I wouldn't
    study abroad, but...
[10:35] ---
    I still want you to go study abroad.
[10:39] ---
    Chi-chan...
[10:40] ---
    You know how to make everyone smile.
[10:43] ---
    You're the superstar of Liella!
    who can give everyone courage.
[10:48] ---
    And I think that's true talent.
[10:53] ---
    So I want your voice to
    resonate further and further.
[11:06] ---
    I decided before I came here...
[11:10] ---
    And I think I'm going to study abroad.
[11:13] ---
    I'm going to study abroad,
    represent Yuigaoka so that
[11:15] ---
    even more people can find out about it,
[11:18] ---
    and I'm going to challenge
    myself to grow even more.
[11:23] ---
    That's why...
[11:27] ---
    I was able to work this hard
    because you were here for me.
[11:31] ---
    Likewise.
[11:32] ---
    Of course, I feel the same.
[11:34] ---
    Me, too!
[11:35] ---
    Same.
[11:36] ---
    Me, too.
[11:37] ---
    I hate to admit it, but me, too.
[11:39] ---
    Girls...
[11:41] ---
    Liella! is not Liella! without you.
[11:45] ---
    That's our answer.
[11:50] ---
    Let us win at the Love Live!
[11:52] ---
    And then take that step
    towards your dream.
[11:55] ---
    Your dream is our dream, Kanon!
[11:57] ---
    I want you to let your song resonate
    even more, Kanon-senpai.
[12:02] ---
    Then I guess it's settled.
[12:04] ---
    Yeah. But I have one more request.
[12:09] ---
    Request?
[12:13] ---
    I want you all to continue as Liella!
[12:15] ---
    Liella! isn't Liella!
    if we lose any of us.
[12:18] ---
    I understand that
    the nine of us are Liella!
[12:21] ---
    I feel the same way.
[12:23] ---
    But I don't want you to quit.
[12:26] ---
    Liella! is my youth.
[12:28] ---
    I don't want Liella! to disappear
    just because I'm leaving Yuigaoka.
[12:34] ---
    But I just can't imagine Liella!
    without you, Kanon-senpai.
[12:39] ---
    That's not true.
[12:41] ---
    You're all dazzling! You're all lovely.
[12:45] ---
    If I know that you're all
    still singing at Yuigaoka,
[12:48] ---
    it'll give me courage,
    even if I'm far away.
[12:52] ---
    I'll be able to feel Liella!
[12:55] ---
    Hm...
[12:57] ---
    I was thinking that Liella! would
    have to disband after the nationals,
[13:02] ---
    but I guess we can't quit now.
[13:04] ---
    Chi-chan...
[13:05] ---
    While we're at it,
    I guess I'll be the center.
[13:08] ---
    How brave of you.
[13:09] ---
    I'm not gonna let you have
    the center position that easily.
[13:12] ---
    Give me a break.
[13:14] ---
    Can we really do it?
[13:15] ---
    But Kanon-senpai gave us
    the push that we need.
[13:18] ---
    I'm gonna do this! I'll do my best!
[13:22] ---
    Okay, that's a promise.
[13:25] ---
    Let's win at the Love Live no matter what!
[13:29] ---
    I guess we don't have a choice.
[13:31] ---
    The nine of us...
[13:35] ---
    I'm feeling all fired up!
[13:37] ---
    Me, too.
[13:38] ---
    Let's all sing with everything we've got.
[13:44] ---
    For Yuigaoka! For Liella!
[13:48] ---
    Song for me! Song for you!
[13:51] ---
    Song for all!
[13:56] ---
    You've got this!
[13:57] ---
    We believe in you!
[14:00] ---
    It's so cold!
[14:02] ---
    I can't feel my cheeks.
[14:04] ---
    It's so warm.
[14:05] ---
    Well, you're definitely from Hokkaido.
[14:08] ---
    Nah. It's because of everyone's support.
[14:13] ---
    Yeah, you're right.
[14:17] ---
    Seven, eight! One, two, three, four,
    five, six, seven, eight!
[14:21] ---
    Nattsu!
[14:23] ---
    Ten more seconds!
[14:27] ---
    Kanon-chan!
[14:28] ---
    We're going to come see you perform!
[14:44] ---
    It's so pretty!
[14:45] ---
    I can't believe it's done so quickly.
[14:47] ---
    Thank you!
[14:49] ---
    Everyone at school helped out.
[14:51] ---
    If there's anything else we can do,
    just let us know!
[14:56] ---
    "Strive to win at the Love Live finals!!"
SIGN    "I love all 9 of them!" "Time to make your dream come true!" "Shine, Liella!" "Liella!'s so cute!!" "Go! Liella!" "Strive to win!"
SIGN    "I can't wait for this thrilling performance!" "These 9 can do it!!" "I want to see Liella! win!" "I'll come cheer you on!!" "Spread Liella!'s song throughout Japan!"
[15:05] ---
    So you've made your decision.
[15:06] ---
    Yes.
[15:07] ---
    Everyone gave me the push
    that I needed, so I made up my mind.
[15:12] ---
    I want to make the whole world
    happy with my song!
[15:14] ---
    I want to do my best to let my songs
    resonate throughout the world.
[15:19] ---
    And I believe that will connect
    to Liella! and Yuigaoka's futures.
[15:24] ---
    I like that look in your eye. Now, go.
[15:41] ---
    "1 more day until the finals"
[15:58] ---
    We're really going to sing here...
[16:00] ---
    On this huge stage...
[16:03] ---
    Calm down.
[16:06] ---
    I can smell the money.
[16:08] ---
    It's definitely a stage worthy
    for someone as galaxy as me.
[16:12] ---
    We need to give it our all.
[16:13] ---
    I was able to work this heard
    because I dreamed to be on this stage.
[16:18] ---
    Ever since I came to Yuigaoka
    and ever since Liella! started...
[16:23] ---
    We're going to give our all
    on this stage...
[16:31] ---
    Here.
[16:32] ---
    Thanks.
[16:34] ---
    To think this stage
    would feel so far away...
[16:37] ---
    Why are you all sad for?
[16:39] ---
    I'm gonna cheer for Liella!
    with all I've got today!
[16:42] ---
    So many people...
[16:44] ---
    So this is nationals...
[16:47] ---
    Let's kill our throats!
[16:49] ---
    Yeah!
[16:54] ---
    One!
[16:55] ---
    Two!
[16:56] ---
    --Three!
    --Four!
[16:57] ---
    --Five!
    --Six!
[16:59] ---
    --Seven!
    --Eight!
[17:00] ---
    Nine!
[17:18] ---
    Let the melody you gave me and my song
    come together as we walk along
[17:30] ---
    Whenever we lose our way on this
    map of hope we drew out as kids
[17:39] ---
    I always envision it within my heart
[17:43] ---
    I was able to do my best because I was
    timid, and I wanted to become stronger
[17:55] ---
    On the day I was able to believe
    in myself a little, the wind blew
[18:10] ---
    The sky stretches across endlessly,
    but just how far does it go?
[18:22] ---
    I want to know, because our journey
    has only just begun
[18:32] ---
    I want you to continue to smile even more,
    so I'm going to try to go even further
[18:44] ---
    I can hear it; Now, let's hold hands
    and run towards the future
[19:26] ---
    This is our Love Live...
[19:54] ---
    Ta-dah!
[19:56] ---
    "Congrats Liella!
    on your win at the Love live!"
[19:58] ---
    "Congrats Liella!
    on your win at the Love live!"
[19:58] ---
    Liella! has won!
[20:01] ---
    Yay!
[20:03] ---
    Uh, how many times are we celebrating?
    This is embarrassing!
[20:07] ---
    What do you mean this is embarrassing?
[20:09] ---
    We won! We won at the Love Live!
[20:13] ---
    I know that!
[20:14] ---
    --How many gazillion times
    are you going to say that?
    --I never get tired of looking at it.
[20:17] ---
    Yeah... It's perfect...
[20:20] ---
    Well, there was no doubt with me there.
[20:23] ---
    My first time getting first...
[20:26] ---
    What's the matter?
[20:28] ---
    Nothing!
[20:31] ---
    Everyone worked hard.
[20:32] ---
    Wait. Shiki-chan, are you also...
[20:35] ---
    No. This is sweat.
[20:38] ---
    I'm so happy.
[20:40] ---
    I was able to make the school
    my mother had established
[20:43] ---
    grow so much thanks to all of you.
[20:52] ---
    By the way, how long are you
    going to be here, Kanon-senpai?
[20:57] ---
    Huh?
[20:59] ---
    Your flight's coming up soon, isn't it?
[21:01] ---
    Oh... yeah.
[21:02] ---
    Well, go home and
    start getting ready already.
[21:04] ---
    C-Come one! Even if I'm at home,
    I can't calm down anyway.
[21:08] ---
    Well, we're also worried...
[21:10] ---
    ...and can't calm down either.
[21:12] ---
    Come on. The longer we laze around,
[21:14] ---
    the harder it's going to be
    for Kanon-chan to go home.
[21:16] ---
    Let's go train!
[21:17] ---
    Yes!
[21:18] ---
    I'm going to work even harder
    for your sake, Kanon!
[21:22] ---
    So you have nothing to worry about!
[21:24] ---
    Now, go!
[21:26] ---
    Be careful, okay?
[21:30] ---
    I guess I got thrown out.
[21:35] ---
    But I've already finished
    all my packing...
[21:44] ---
    Margarete-chan?
[21:47] ---
    Huh? Wha? Why?!
[21:50] ---
    Isn't it obvious?
[21:51] ---
    No studying abroad.
[21:53] ---
    Huh? Wh-Where did all this come from?
[21:56] ---
    You should've also received a letter.
[21:59] ---
    What?!
[22:01] ---
    What is this?
[22:03] ---
    I dunno. I can't read German.
[22:06] ---
    Dad!
[22:08] ---
    Wh-What's going to happen?
[22:11] ---
    
[22:13] ---
    Beyond the dream I'm chasing,
    I'd always see
[22:13] ---
    
[22:15] ---
    
[22:17] ---
    
[22:18] ---
    This star called hope,
    and because it shines, because it shines
[22:26] ---
    Even if I stumbled,
    I could keep moving forward
[22:31] ---
    Just where am I headed
    beyond this dream I'm chasing?
[22:40] ---
    We'll get lost again among our encounters
[22:44] ---
    But we can enjoy that, too
[22:49] ---
    When you're able to do something that you
    thought seemed possible but wasn't
[22:53] ---
    It makes you so happy that you want to
    work hard and your heart wants to pop out
[23:00] ---
    Ah
[23:02] ---
    We want to tell everyone
    to laugh more and sing more
[23:07] ---
    So let's keep going even further
[23:11] ---
    The world keeps expanding and
    some of the scenery might change
[23:16] ---
    But our passion will never change!
[23:19] ---
    There are dreams we want to see come true
    by overcoming a lot of frustration
[23:25] ---
    Come on, everyone,
    let's make them come true
[23:29] ---
    I wonder what kind of excitement
    we'll play tomorrow
[23:34] ---
    Let's change the future!
