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-*san*to 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

*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*
