**[00:01] ---**
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*

**[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] ---**

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*
