    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
[23:36] ---
