    Previously on Love Live! Superstar!!
[00:03] ---
    After receiving an
    invitation from Sunny Passion,
[00:06] ---
    we were going to perform at
    a concert with them at Kozushima.
[00:09] ---
    Meanwhile, Chisato-san was going
    to compete in her dance contest.
[00:12] ---
    Okay!
[00:13] ---
    "School Withdrawal Application"
[00:14] ---
    Withdr--
[00:15] ---
    The reason I started dancing
    is because of Kanon-chan.
[00:17] ---
    I was going to finally do something
    that you can't do on my own today.
[00:21] ---
    "Chisato Arashi wins!"
    "Course Transfer Application"
[00:21] ---
    Chisato-san won her dance contest,
    and our concert was a huge success!
[00:22] ---
    "So that I can concentrate on
    being a school idol."
[00:26] ---
    She became a school idol
    with the rest of us!
[01:18] ---
    "Student Council Inauguration"
[01:23] ---
    You can't stop real dreams
[01:29] ---
    Our hearts are about to start running
[01:34] ---
    "Love Live! Superstar!!"
[01:51] ---
    Before we knew it,
    we found something that we loved
[01:55] ---
    Let these feelings reach you
[01:59] ---
    We've made up our minds, we're serious!
[02:02] ---
    I wonder what we can do
[02:04] ---
    The sky's so bright
[02:06] ---
    Let's look up at it
    and sing our hearts out
[02:12] ---
    Doesn't having something you want to do
[02:16] ---
    Make every day fun?
[02:19] ---
    Do you feel that way, too?
[02:24] ---
    Ah, we've been waiting for this moment
[02:26] ---
    This encounter is where we start
[02:29] ---
    Our dreams are drawn together,
    and it all begins
[02:34] ---
    We realized our true desires and now,
    we can't be stopped
[02:40] ---
    Our hearts are about to start running
[02:46] ---
    As fast as they can run
[02:55] ---
    You seem tired.
[02:56] ---
    "Battle! The Student Council
    President Elections"
[02:57] ---
    Starting our new term right after getting
    back from the island is a bit harsh.
[03:01] ---
    Well, you did work super hard
    making our stage and props, too.
[03:05] ---
    Thank you.
[03:06] ---
    Kanon...
[03:08] ---
    Buck up!
[03:11] ---
    Chi-chan?
[03:12] ---
    Something feels off.
[03:15] ---
    We're going to be practicing dance
[03:17] ---
    way more hardcore than before,
[03:20] ---
    so you have no time to be tired!
[03:23] ---
    Heya!
[03:25] ---
    Well? How does my new uniform look?
[03:31] ---
    Huh?
[03:32] ---
    What?!
[03:34] ---
    I was actually thinking about withdrawing,
[03:36] ---
    then reapplying for
    the general curriculum,
[03:39] ---
    but the director allowed me
    just to transfer programs.
[03:42] ---
    But why...
[03:44] ---
    Because I wanted to head towards
    the same goal as you three now.
[03:49] ---
    So that's why...
[03:51] ---
    I'm sorry I kept it a secret.
[03:53] ---
    This is love.
[03:56] ---
    Love! This is truly love!
[03:58] ---
    I'm so moved!
[04:00] ---
    It's not really that big of a deal.
[04:03] ---
    Then we'll have to make sure
    we introduce you
[04:05] ---
    to everyone in our class
    before class starts.
[04:09] ---
    What is it?
[04:10] ---
    Oh, Kanon-chan.
[04:12] ---
    Look at this.
[04:13] ---
    "Student Council Inauguration"
[04:15] ---
    The student council?
[04:17] ---
    The student council at our
    school that had been put on hold
[04:20] ---
    is finally getting started?!
[04:22] ---
    Yeah. If there are a few people who want
    to run for student council president,
[04:26] ---
    they're going to hold an election...
[04:30] ---
    G-Good morning.
[04:33] ---
    Yeah, Chi-chan's going to be joining--
[04:35] ---
    --Kanon! The student council!
    --No way! What happened?
[04:37] ---
    R-Right.
[04:38] ---
    Chisato-chan's in the general
    curriculum now?
[04:40] ---
    Yeah! Um...
[04:41] ---
    The student council elections!
[04:43] ---
    Wait, why though?
[04:44] ---
    --The election!
    --There's so much going on right now!
[04:47] ---
    So Chisato-chan's going
    to be a school idol, too?
[04:50] ---
    Yeah, I figured I'd give it a try.
[04:53] ---
    It's finished!
[04:54] ---
    "Kanon Shibuya"
[04:59] ---
    Why did you write it in hiragana?
[05:00] ---
    When I did my research,
    apparently writing your name in hiragana
[05:03] ---
    is common knowledge in Japanese elections.
[05:06] ---
    Elections?
[05:08] ---
    Kanon, did you already forget?
    We just saw it!
[05:10] ---
    "First Gen. Student Council President"
    "Candidacy Application"
[05:11] ---
    "General Curriculum"
    "Class 1-A"
    "Kanon Shibuya"
[05:13] ---
    No, I remember that.
    But why is my name written there?
[05:18] ---
    Why, because you're
    going to run, of course!
[05:23] ---
    A--
[05:24] ---
    I've created an account for you, too,
[05:26] ---
    so now we just need to make
    a video for your candidacy.
[05:29] ---
    I--
[05:29] ---
    Now, take this sash!
[05:31] ---
    --U-e-o!
    --Kanon!
[05:32] ---
    Kanon! Kanon! Please open the door!
[05:35] ---
    No! I'm never coming out!
[05:37] ---
    Kanon-chan, let's just talk.
    I'm sure we can work all of this out.
[05:39] ---
    "Kanon Shibuya"
[05:42] ---
    You agree to this, too, Chi-chan?
[05:44] ---
    I'm not sure if I agree, but...
[05:47] ---
    This is for the sake of us school idols!
[05:49] ---
    The only other candidate
    right now is that Ren person!
[05:53] ---
    If that person becomes student council
    president, school idols will be in danger!
[05:58] ---
    And there are a lot of people
    who believe that
[06:00] ---
    the student council president should be
    from the general curriculum.
[06:03] ---
    Then one of you could run instead!
[06:07] ---
    Oh, fine. Fine!
[06:13] ---
    "Sumire Heanna"
[06:14] ---
    As someone who has lived
    in the world of show business,
[06:17] ---
    this is truly my time to shine--
[06:19] ---
    Kanon, please!
[06:20] ---
    --Kanon-chan!
    --No way!
[06:22] ---
    Galaxy!
[06:23] ---
    So that we can continue being
    school idols, I, Sumire Heanna...
[06:27] ---
    Kanon!
[06:28] ---
    Look at me!
[06:29] ---
    Who are you?
[06:30] ---
    You know who I am!
[06:32] ---
    Huh? Um, you're...
    Su... Su-something...
[06:38] ---
    Sumire! My name is Sumire!
[06:39] ---
    "Su"
[06:40] ---
    Su-mi-re!
[06:40] ---
    "Mi"
[06:41] ---
    "Re"
[06:41] ---
    "Sumire Heanna"
[06:41] ---
    How can you forget the name
    of your fellow groupmate?!
[06:44] ---
    Sorry, I'm still new.
[06:46] ---
    Well, whatever.
[06:47] ---
    Honestly, I don't really like the idea of
    this student council president election...
[06:52] ---
    Then don't worry about it. We're good.
[06:54] ---
    No one asked you.
    Know your place... and such.
[06:57] ---
    You didn't even hesitate
    to say all those mean things--
[06:59] ---
    Sumire-chan!
[07:01] ---
    Thank you so much!
    You have my utmost support!
[07:06] ---
    What?
[07:07] ---
    Don't "what" me!
[07:09] ---
    Another candidate?
[07:11] ---
    Yes, apparently one
    from the general curriculum.
[07:14] ---
    I see.
[07:15] ---
    We're going to end up having an election.
    Will everything be okay?
[07:18] ---
    There are so many more students
    in the general curriculum.
[07:20] ---
    This is out of our hands.
[07:22] ---
    And there's no guarantee that everyone
[07:24] ---
    from the general curriculum
    will root for their own.
[07:28] ---
    We'll just have to do our best.
[07:30] ---
    You're right.
[07:31] ---
    Yeah, you've got this.
[07:33] ---
    Let me know if I can help in any way.
[07:35] ---
    Thank you very much.
[07:37] ---
    See you later!
[07:44] ---
    "Candidacy Application"
    "Music Program"
    "Class 1-A" "Ren Hazuki"
[07:49] ---
    Are you sure you want to run?
[07:53] ---
    Yes.
[07:55] ---
    Student council president
    candidate Sumire Heanna!
[08:00] ---
    My motto is Yuigaoka...
[08:05] ---
    ...Galaxy!
[08:07] ---
    Hey, wait!
[08:09] ---
    And we're good.
[08:11] ---
    There's no way that was good!
[08:12] ---
    Why are you so unenthusiastic?!
    You need to take this more seriously!
[08:17] ---
    --With my powers as someone who lived
    in the world of show business,
[08:19] ---
    --Yeah, I'd prefer Kanon...
    --With my powers as someone who lived
    in the world of show business,
[08:21] ---
    --Yeah, I'd prefer Kanon...
    --becoming the student council
    president will easy peasy!
[08:22] ---
    Kanon-chan!
[08:24] ---
    Hey, how'd it go?
[08:25] ---
    The deadline for
    candidate applications passed,
[08:27] ---
    so now it's officially going to be
    between Hazuki-san and Sumire-chan.
[08:32] ---
    So if I defeat Ren Hazuki, I'll be able
    to stand at the top of this school.
[08:38] ---
    Yeah, but apparently Hazuki-san
[08:39] ---
    is the daughter of the person
    who established this school...
[08:42] ---
    You don't stand a chance!
[08:44] ---
    Wait, why are you giving up?!
[08:46] ---
    Oh, but apparently,
    Hazuki-san isn't a shoe-in.
[08:50] ---
    She is a natural leader as
    the class rep in the music program
[08:54] ---
    and is pretty popular,
    but there are rumors that
[08:57] ---
    she looks down on
    the general curriculum students.
[09:00] ---
    I see...
[09:01] ---
    That's it!
[09:02] ---
    Our program has three times
    more students than the music program!
[09:05] ---
    We just need to secure those votes!
[09:09] ---
    "Never forget where you came from"
    "Ren Hazuki"
[09:10] ---
    "I, Ren Hazuki, would like to see
    a school where the general curriculum
[09:15] ---
    and the music program
    can work together and I promise
[09:18] ---
    to make the school festival
    in the fall a success."
[09:21] ---
    There are rumors that Hazuki-san
    only cares about the music program...
[09:25] ---
    She does actually
    think a lot about us, too.
[09:28] ---
    Yeah, totally.
[09:29] ---
    Looks like she made the first move.
[09:31] ---
    And it's all over.
    There's no way you can win.
[09:34] ---
    Which means the school idols...
[09:42] ---
    Kuu...
[09:43] ---
    ...kaa.
[09:46] ---
    It's okay. No one followed me.
[09:49] ---
    Okay, then we'll be doing
    a singing lesson today.
[09:53] ---
    I've finally found you, school idols.
[09:58] ---
    According to school regulations
    article 10, paragraph 325,
[10:01] ---
    school idol activities at Yuigaoka
    are absolutely prohibited!
[10:04] ---
    Capture them!
[10:06] ---
    Oh, no!
[10:07] ---
    "Sumire Heanna" "Certain Victory"
[10:09] ---
    I don't think it's going to go that far.
[10:11] ---
    No, I bet she would do it.
[10:13] ---
    You can see her hate
    for school idols in her eyes.
[10:17] ---
    But I wonder why she dislikes
    school idols so much.
[10:21] ---
    You don't know either, Chi-chan?
[10:23] ---
    Nope. No one in the music program's
    really talked about that before.
[10:30] ---
    "Certain Victory"
[10:30] ---
    I'm just going to
    have to win the election!
[10:33] ---
    But how?
[10:34] ---
    Have no fear!
[10:38] ---
    H-Here you go!
[10:40] ---
    We're giving away some free takoyaki
    along with our greeting today.
[10:45] ---
    "If I say I'm going to do it,
    I'm going to do it!"
[10:46] ---
    Wow!
[10:47] ---
    Thanks!
[10:48] ---
    "Sumire Heanna"
[10:49] ---
    See? I told you it'd work.
[10:52] ---
    I'm Sumire Heanna!
[10:54] ---
    Vote for Galaxy!
[10:56] ---
    Is this even okay?
[10:59] ---
    I'm not sure... maybe, just barely?
[11:02] ---
    It is not.
[11:04] ---
    "Voting Results"
    "101 votes"
[11:05] ---
    "-20 votes"
[11:07] ---
    "-20 votes"
    "Ren Hazuki" "Sumire Heanna"
[11:08] ---
    I-I...
[11:10] ---
    I've been crushed! Why, though?! Why?!
[11:14] ---
    It's obvious.
[11:15] ---
    Shut your mouth!
[11:17] ---
    Or wait, how do you have negative votes?
[11:19] ---
    Well, that includes the punishment
    for using takoyaki, so...
[11:22] ---
    Well, the results wouldn't have been
    any different even without that.
[11:26] ---
    This is why I said it should've
    been Kanon to begin with.
[11:30] ---
    Actually, I think it's for the best
[11:31] ---
    that Hazuki-san became
    the student council president.
[11:34] ---
    --Me, too...
    --You traitors.
[11:37] ---
    Well, it's not that you did
    anything wrong, Sumire-chan.
[11:40] ---
    It's just, when you think
    about how this person has to
[11:43] ---
    think about the whole school
    and make a bunch of decisions...
[11:47] ---
    But school idols...
[11:50] ---
    Yeah...
[11:52] ---
    I'll talk to her.
[11:54] ---
    Do you think she'd listen?
[11:56] ---
    I don't know, but I'm sure
    she has her reasons.
[12:03] ---
    What do you plan on doing?
[12:05] ---
    Before that, please tell me how many
    applicants we have for next year.
[12:10] ---
    As the student council president-- No...
[12:14] ---
    As the daughter of
    the founder of this school,
[12:16] ---
    I have a right to know.
[12:23] ---
    Thank you for your time.
[12:31] ---
    You're...
[12:33] ---
    Do you have a minute?
[12:34] ---
    "Apple Tea" "Strawberry Milk"
[12:38] ---
    Love Live! Superstar!!
[12:45] ---
    You told us before that you'd support us
    if we weren't school idols, right?
[12:52] ---
    It's not like you don't like us
    or you were trying to be mean, right?
[12:57] ---
    We want to know why.
    If you could tell us that,
[13:00] ---
    I'm sure we can all help you
    figure something out.
[13:05] ---
    I don't know if you'd
    ever be able to accept us,
[13:08] ---
    but we really don't think
    school idols are bad.
[13:12] ---
    There really isn't a reason.
[13:18] ---
    It's just this school is better off
    without school idols.
[13:23] ---
    That is how I feel.
[13:30] ---
    What do you mean it'd be better off?
[13:36] ---
    And now, our first student
    council president,
[13:39] ---
    Ren Hazuki-san, will say a few words.
[13:43] ---
    Hello, I am Ren Hazuki,
[13:45] ---
    and I have been chosen to be this school's
    first student council president.
[13:49] ---
    I am truly honored to be chosen
    for such a prestigious position
[13:53] ---
    and very humbled.
[13:58] ---
    I will do everything in my power
    so that Yuigaoka Girls' High
[14:03] ---
    can become an established school
    in this area for a very long time.
[14:09] ---
    To make that happen...
[14:15] ---
    I wonder what's wrong.
[14:20] ---
    To make that happen,
    our first school festival
[14:25] ---
    will have the music program
    as the main act.
[14:34] ---
    Hazuki-san...
[14:38] ---
    She totally broke her campaign promise.
[14:40] ---
    Yeah. All of us have been
    looking forward to the school festival
[14:43] ---
    and have been planning
    what to do with our classes.
[14:46] ---
    Apparently, the class next door
    is collecting signatures to fight this.
[14:48] ---
    Oh, I'm definitely going
    to help out with that.
[14:53] ---
    There's a quicker solution than that.
[14:57] ---
    A recall!
[14:58] ---
    Recall?
[14:59] ---
    Yes. If that goes through,
[15:01] ---
    the current president
    will have to step down for lying.
[15:04] ---
    And then, after another election, I'll--
[15:08] ---
    "Kanon Shibuya"
[15:08] ---
    Kanon should be
    the student council president!
[15:10] ---
    --Gala?
    --What?
    --Me?
[15:11] ---
    Kanon-chan's going to run?
[15:12] ---
    --What?!
    --You have my support!
[15:14] ---
    We were actually talking about
    how you'd be a great candidate!
[15:17] ---
    --Yeah!
    --Nope. No way.
[15:19] ---
    That's not happening.
    I mean, I don't stand out at all.
[15:24] ---
    You're just asking to be hated on.
[15:26] ---
    Huh? No, no, no. That's not what I meant!
[15:32] ---
    But you might just have to do that.
[15:35] ---
    Yes. She's already broken her promise,
[15:38] ---
    so if we leave her alone, she's definitely
    going to prohibit school idols.
[15:42] ---
    Hm... I guess I could see that.
[15:46] ---
    But there has to be some kind of a reason.
[15:50] ---
    But she wouldn't
    tell you yesterday, right?
[15:54] ---
    Well...
[15:56] ---
    "Yuigaoka Girls' Private High School"
[16:01] ---
    Now we're tailing her?
[16:02] ---
    What else can we do? Apparently,
    most of the kids in the music program
[16:06] ---
    don't know much about Hazuki-san either.
[16:08] ---
    If we're doing this, we're going all in.
[16:21] ---
    That was close!
[16:22] ---
    That's Hazuki-san for you.
[16:24] ---
    She's always so proper
    even out of the music program
[16:26] ---
    and is always paying attention
    to those around her.
[16:29] ---
    So she has the ability
    to sense someone's presence.
[16:32] ---
    In that case, Sumire-chan.
[16:37] ---
    Gala?
[16:39] ---
    I definitely don't like this...
[16:41] ---
    It's poop!
[16:42] ---
    --Poop!
    --Shut up!
[17:00] ---
    Way to go, Sumire-chan!
[17:01] ---
    You didn't get noticed at all!
[17:03] ---
    Please spare the compliments. They hurt.
[17:05] ---
    Kanon!
[17:08] ---
    Let's go!
[17:21] ---
    She went in here.
[17:25] ---
    So this is...
[17:26] ---
    Hazuki-san's house.
[17:28] ---
    I figured she was rich,
    but this is out of this universe.
[17:33] ---
    Well, let's call her out here.
[17:35] ---
    Wait!
[17:36] ---
    We should investigate
    a little more first...
[17:38] ---
    Didn't we follow her
    all the way here because
[17:41] ---
    we wanted to find out more about her?
[17:45] ---
    Who is it?
[17:47] ---
    Oh, um, I--
[17:50] ---
    We're students from Yuigaoka Girls' High.
[17:53] ---
    We wanted to talk to Ren-san.
[18:00] ---
    Here you are.
[18:03] ---
    Thank you very much.
[18:04] ---
    I will go fetch Miss Ren.
    Please make yourselves at home.
[18:09] ---
    Okay.
[18:12] ---
    What are we going to do?
    We just showed up unannounced.
[18:15] ---
    Well, we did follow her...
[18:18] ---
    I wonder what we could
    even say to Hazuki-san!
[18:21] ---
    --This is good.
    --She's probably just going to get mad.
[18:24] ---
    Like, "I have nothing to say to you.
    Go home. Begone."
[18:29] ---
    Yeah...
[18:33] ---
    This really is a lovely house, though.
[18:37] ---
    Look, there's a giant plushie.
[18:40] ---
    Plushie? It's not taxidermied?
[18:42] ---
    A dog this big could never
    exist in real life.
[18:46] ---
    Oh, it's so warm...
[18:47] ---
    It's warm?
[18:50] ---
    You're right. And you can hear
    something thumping...
[18:54] ---
    What are you talking about?
    There you go, making stuff up again.
[19:02] ---
    It's...
[19:03] ---
    It's...
[19:04] ---
    It's real!
[19:07] ---
    What the heck is that ridiculous dog?!
[19:09] ---
    I don't know!
[19:11] ---
    Has it been genetically modified?!
    Maybe it's been modified to be a giant!
[19:14] ---
    Found it!
[19:16] ---
    It really is an actual dog.
[19:17] ---
    It's supposed to be that big?
[19:19] ---
    Anyway, we just need to ask for help!
[19:22] ---
    Someone!
[19:23] ---
    Someone!
[19:24] ---
    Someone!
[19:26] ---
    Someone!
[19:28] ---
    There's no one here!
[19:29] ---
    What's going on?
[19:31] ---
    I can't!
[19:33] ---
    Keke-chan!
[19:36] ---
    Kanon-chan?!
[19:37] ---
    Hiyah!
[19:40] ---
    --Hurry, get inside!
    --Thanks!
[19:41] ---
    Yes!
[19:44] ---
    What's with this place?
[19:46] ---
    I can't believe there's, like,
    no one inside this giant house.
[19:49] ---
    It is strange.
[20:15] ---
    This is...
[20:17] ---
    Kanon-chan.
[20:18] ---
    Is it a graduation photo?
[20:20] ---
    It looks like Yuigaoka.
[20:22] ---
    But this photo's pretty old.
[20:26] ---
    No!
[20:29] ---
    Thank you for everything you've done.
    I'll never forget you.
[20:34] ---
    No, I cannot accept this.
[20:36] ---
    Please. We really don't have the money
    to keep you working here next month.
[20:41] ---
    This is not necessary.
    I just want to serve the Hazuki Family...
[20:46] ---
    But that's not right. If I were
    to have someone like you work for free,
[20:51] ---
    then my late mother
    would never forgive me.
[20:54] ---
    But... Then you truly
    will be all alone, Miss Ren.
[20:59] ---
    I'll be all right.
    I have Chibi, after all.
[21:02] ---
    Chibi? Really?
[21:04] ---
    Shh!
[21:05] ---
    I believe you first came here
    around the time Chibi was just born.
[21:10] ---
    Back then, Father was still around
    and my mother was healthy.
[21:14] ---
    We all got along and it was so lively...
[21:18] ---
    Miss Ren...
[21:20] ---
    It's not that I'm losing hope.
[21:23] ---
    I still have Yuigaoka
    that Mother left me, after all.
[21:28] ---
    Chibi?
[21:31] ---
    Who-- Huh?
[21:33] ---
    --Ow...
    --Hey, don't lick me there!
[21:36] ---
    You...
[21:38] ---
    Hey! That tickles!
[21:41] ---
    Chibi, come.
[21:44] ---
    Sit. Stay.
[21:47] ---
    Did you hear everything?
[21:48] ---
    What do you mean you're by yourself?
    That you don't have any money...
[21:52] ---
    It's exactly how it sounds. I am the
    only one left here, and I have no money.
[21:59] ---
    At this rate, the school can't keep going.
[22:02] ---
    I have to do whatever I can in order to
    keep the school my mother left me going.
[22:09] ---
    Hazuki-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
[23:36] ---
    Next time, "Connecting Feelings."
[23:37] ---
    "Episode 8: Connecting Feelings"
