    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] ---
    
    "Episode 3: Kuu Kaa"
[23:37] ---
    Next time, "Kuu Kaa."
