    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] ---
    The School Idol Club
    practices up on the roof!
[15:16] ---
    Please come see us!
[15:18] ---
    "Let's be school idols"
[15:19] ---
    --Come try out our new
    practice regimen with us.
[15:20] ---
    --We're the School Idol Club!
    --Come try out our new
    practice regimen with us.
[15:22] ---
    --We're the School Idol Club!
    --Anyone can join now!
[15:24] ---
    "Welcome to the School Idol Club!"
[15:25] ---
    --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!

[21:49] ---
    Okay, one more lap!
[21:51] ---
    You can do it! You can do it!
[22:05] ---
    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
[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!
