    Previously on Love Live! Superstar!!
[00:04] ---
    Liella! begins writing their song
    for the regional prelims.
[00:07] ---
    However, I had recently discovered
    video games and became distracted.
[00:10] ---
    Please don't tell anyone about this!
[00:12] ---
    If anyone ever found out about this...
[00:14] ---
    But then, Kanon-san tells me
    that she wants to be
SIGN    "Letter of Appointment"
    "Kanon Shibuya-dono"
    "You have been appointed the vice president of the Yuigaoka Girls' High School Student Council." "Yuigaoka Girls' High School"
[00:16] ---
    the vice president of the student council.
[00:19] ---
    I want to help you out.
[00:20] ---
    I accepted Kanon-san's feelings,
    and when I told everyone the truth...
[00:25] ---
    Now that I've become
    even closer to everyone,
[00:28] ---
    I was able to complete our new song.
[00:31] ---
    We will now hold a ceremony to commemorate
    the formation of the new student council.
[00:38] ---
    Student council secretary,
    Kinako Sakurakoji.
[00:41] ---
    Yup!
[00:44] ---
    Next, the treasurer, Nanami Nanakusa.
[00:47] ---
    Yes, ma'am.
[00:48] ---
    This is a new kind of
    lineup for this school.
[00:51] ---
    Ren-senpai thought it'd be
    better for the school
[00:54] ---
    to include students outside of
    the music program as well.
[00:57] ---
    Impressive.
[00:58] ---
    I wanted to be treasurer...
[01:00] ---
    Now, now. Just put all that
    energy into our club.
[01:03] ---
    Student council president was
    out of my reach yet again...
[01:06] ---
    --You're still on about that?
[01:07] ---
    --Student council vice president,
    --You're still on about that?
[01:09] ---
    Kanon Shibuya.
[01:10] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[01:15] ---
    The student council at Yuigaoka Girls'
    High School will resume our activities
[01:19] ---
    now with our new members.
[01:22] ---
    Next year will be
[01:23] ---
    a very important year where we finally
    have students in all three grades.
[01:26] ---
    We also have an open campus this month.
[01:29] ---
    We will use that opportunity to show
    how wonderful our school is.
[01:32] ---
    Let us all create a school that
    we can all be proud of together.
[01:47] ---
    We're now going to fight
[01:49] ---
    Let's create our own wind
[01:53] ---
    We're going to climb
[01:55] ---
    We're never going to lose,
    we're going to win!
[02:01] ---
    More, more, more!!
[02:09] ---
    Let's always surpass
[02:11] ---
    Who we were yesterday
[02:15] ---
    Even if we don't know
[02:17] ---
    Just how much we can do,
    we're always fired up
[02:20] ---
    I want to smile together with you
[02:22] ---
    I want to know about worlds
    I've yet to discover
[02:26] ---
    I'm going to become stronger
[02:28] ---
    I don't wanna give up
[02:31] ---
    Are you ready? Let's start up right now!
[02:36] ---
    We're going to aim for the top
[02:39] ---
    More than now, more than ever
[02:42] ---
    Our hearts are pounding
[02:46] ---
    Let's make it come true!
[02:47] ---
    Right at this moment, as much as we can
[02:50] ---
    We're dreaming,
    because that's all we can do
[02:53] ---
    We met, so this wish gives us passion
[02:58] ---
    We can go
[03:01] ---
    Let's make the impossible happen
[03:06] ---
    We're going to continue believing,
    so WE WILL!
[03:19] ---
    There's this, and this,
[03:21] ---
    and this, and even this!
[03:24] ---
    These are all from the Love Live!
[03:26] ---
    These are the stages used at various
    schools at the Love Live last year.
[03:31] ---
    This again?
[03:33] ---
    Don't just turn on the lights like that!
[03:35] ---
    Is it morning?
[03:36] ---
    You were asleep?
[03:37] ---
    Me, too...
[03:39] ---
    So you're trying to say that
    the stage is important, too?
[03:43] ---
    Yes! This year, the regional prelims are
    immediately a remote competition.
[03:47] ---
    There will be even more
    groups than last year,
[03:50] ---
    so we need to do
    everything we can to stand out.
[03:53] ---
    More than last year?
[03:55] ---
    Do you have an idea of what you want?
[03:57] ---
    I figured you'd ask something
    that blunt, Sumire,
[04:02] ---
    so I came prepared.
[04:06] ---
    I call it...
[04:07] ---
    ...the "Let's Rent Out
    Gaien Stadium" plan!
[04:12] ---
    Let's go!
[04:13] ---
    Wait!
[04:14] ---
    We'll create our stage in the middle and
[04:17] ---
    we'll be able to broadcast Liella!
    live from every angle!
[04:21] ---
    How wonderful!
[04:23] ---
    Didn't they say no to you before?
[04:26] ---
    The cost effectiveness of this
    just isn't there at all.
[04:29] ---
    Have no fear! We are
    the neighborhood school
[04:32] ---
    and the hopefuls to win!
[04:34] ---
    That's right! We're school idols!
    We can't give up until we try!
[04:40] ---
    Someone gets it!
[04:42] ---
    Of course, I do!
[04:44] ---
    If we try our best, we can make it happen!
[04:46] ---
    Precisely!
[04:47] ---
    What makes a school idol
    is their perseverance!
[04:51] ---
    Yes, yes!
[04:52] ---
    Hey!
[04:54] ---
    It didn't work...
[04:55] ---
    They got really mad at us.
[04:58] ---
    Of course they did!
[04:59] ---
    It's no use...
[05:01] ---
    They're more similar than I thought.
[05:03] ---
    In that case, where should we pick?
[05:07] ---
    We should think up a more effective plan
    that doesn't waste so much money.
[05:13] ---
    Effective?
[05:15] ---
    Like what?
[05:16] ---
    Think about it. The winners are determined
    by the votes of the viewers.
[05:21] ---
    Which means that
[05:22] ---
    the important thing is to draw the
    attention of as many viewers as possible.
[05:25] ---
    We know.
[05:27] ---
    But we need to figure out how.
[05:29] ---
    Why, that's simple.
[05:30] ---
    For example, we could give
    everyone who votes for Liella!
[05:34] ---
    private pictures of us.
[05:37] ---
    And then, for people who spend
    money on us... drumroll, please--
[05:41] ---
    Nope.
[05:42] ---
    I haven't even said anything yet.
[05:45] ---
    Anyway, we all need to think about this
    and figure it out together.
[05:49] ---
    A place that can serve as
    a symbol to represent
[05:52] ---
    Liella!, Yuigaoka, and all of us.
[05:55] ---
    Symbol...
[06:00] ---
    Yes, but in the end...
    it's easier said than done.
[06:03] ---
    Yuigaoka's symbol?
[06:06] ---
    Yeah. For example, if our school was
    in a place where it snowed a lot,
[06:08] ---
    our image would be snow.
[06:10] ---
    Or if our school was near the ocean,
    it'd probably be the ocean.
[06:13] ---
    But Yuigaoka has lots of
    famous places around it.
[06:17] ---
    Like a huge street and famous shops...
[06:19] ---
    But if you think about if they
    actually represent Yuigaoka...
[06:22] ---
    You're right. They're all so famous
    and don't actually represent our school.
[06:28] ---
    What's this?
[06:29] ---
    The ideas for the activities each club
    is going to do for the open campus.
[06:32] ---
    There're this many?
[06:33] ---
    That's how much people
    care for this school.
[06:36] ---
    Yeah. I think we're all falling in love
    with this school more and more.
[06:42] ---
    What is the School Idol Club
    doing for the open campus?
[06:47] ---
    I completely forgot about it...
[06:49] ---
    We should probably do a performance.
[06:51] ---
    About that...
[06:54] ---
    We're not going to perform?
[06:56] ---
    Correct.
[06:57] ---
    The student council talked about it
[06:59] ---
    and decided that we should
    concentrate on the prelims.
[07:02] ---
    Are you sure about this?
[07:03] ---
    Yes! I'll be fine even if we
    do another performance!
[07:08] ---
    I said the same thing.
[07:11] ---
    What happened?
[07:13] ---
    According to Nanami-chan,
    if Liella! performs,
[07:16] ---
    all of the attention might get
    concentrated on us.
[07:21] ---
    That's...
[07:22] ---
    We did a performance
    for the school fair, too.
[07:24] ---
    Thinking about the school,
[07:26] ---
    it's probably best if other clubs
    get to shine, as well.
[07:31] ---
    But then, what do we do?
[07:34] ---
    If we're not going to perform...
[07:37] ---
    "Yuigaoka Girls' High School Open Campus"
[07:41] ---
    "Showa Comics Club"
[07:45] ---
    "Chi-chan's TAKO"
[07:45] ---
    Welcome!
[07:48] ---
    Chi-chan's Neo Rainbow Takoyaki's ready!
[07:56] ---
    Huh?
[07:57] ---
    No one.
[07:58] ---
    How strange. But they're
    so perfectly round.
[08:01] ---
    I don't think that's the issue.
[08:03] ---
    The colors...
[08:03] ---
    Let's turn this into an opportunity!
[08:06] ---
    If we don't predict the trends,
    the money will never come flowing in.
[08:11] ---
    We'll just combine these takoyaki with
[08:14] ---
    a specially concocted smoothie!
    Everyone loves smoothies.
[08:18] ---
    Here's a rainbow takoyaki smoothie!
[08:21] ---
    --Pass.
    --How the hell are we
    supposed to eat that?
[08:24] ---
    Oh, that's simple! You just insert
    this special straw into the cup,
[08:29] ---
    and then you just...
[08:34] ---
    M-My throat...
[08:35] ---
    The hotness directly hit my throat!
[08:38] ---
    --Are you okay?!
    --Oh, god! It burns!
[08:38] ---
    --What are you doing?
    --Oh, god! It burns!
[08:41] ---
    --Foolish girl.
    --Oh, god! It burns!
[08:43] ---
    Seems like everything is
    going well over here.
[08:46] ---
    Kinako-san,
[08:47] ---
    could I ask you to help out with the play
    the music program is putting on?
[08:50] ---
    Righto!
[08:54] ---
    I'm so glad so many people
    came to the open campus.
[08:57] ---
    We may not have that many students,
    but we're all very close,
[09:01] ---
    and a magazine complimented
    that about us recently.
[09:05] ---
    I guess our school is turning out
    just like your mom wanted.
[09:11] ---
    Sis!
[09:12] ---
    Aria? You came by today?
[09:15] ---
    I thought I'd surprise you. I need to
    figure out what I'm gonna do for school.
[09:19] ---
    Well, I would've given you
    a tour of the school.
[09:22] ---
    "Let's be school idols"
[09:22] ---
    You should come next year!
    Why not join the School Idol Club?
[09:26] ---
    Uh, Keke-chan?
[09:27] ---
    School idols that are sisters!
    That'd be a hot development!
[09:30] ---
    Er, but I haven't decided if I'm
    going to test for this school yet...
[09:36] ---
    Oh, I know.
[09:38] ---
    It's here.
[09:39] ---
    Thanks! Wow!
[09:42] ---
    So many books!
[09:44] ---
    I see that your sister loves books.
[09:48] ---
    She must've gotten it from my dad.
[09:50] ---
    She's always reading books on her day off.
[09:53] ---
    I guess sisters have a lot going on.
[09:56] ---
    It's so interesting.
[09:58] ---
    This was originally a music school, right?
[10:02] ---
    I wonder why they decided
    to build a school here.
[10:05] ---
    Why?
[10:07] ---
    I'm not exactly sure why
    they decided on this location...
[10:10] ---
    Huh.
[10:14] ---
    "Takoyaki Smoothie"
[10:15] ---
    What are you gonna do now?
[10:16] ---
    Look how much is left over!
[10:17] ---
    I knew a smoothie was a bad idea!
[10:18] ---
    What are you talking about?
[10:20] ---
    The problem is clearly the takoyaki!
    The takoyaki!
[10:23] ---
    Nuh-uh! Round things are the best!
[10:25] ---
    Round things don't matter right now.
[10:27] ---
    This is becoming complicated.
[10:29] ---
    Who cares?
[10:30] ---
    This is surprisingly good.
[10:32] ---
    Seriously?!
[10:36] ---
    The history of the music school...
[10:39] ---
    --There you are!
    --Chi-chan!
[10:41] ---
    Oh, right. We have to clean.
[10:42] ---
    We're actually already done. Here.
[10:46] ---
    What is this?
[10:48] ---
    Leftovers. Are you looking into
    the history of this town?
[10:52] ---
    Yeah. I was trying to find out
    why this school was built here.
[10:56] ---
    I figured it might provide a hint
    in making our stage.
[10:59] ---
    Did you find anything?
[11:01] ---
    Nothing yet, sadly.
[11:04] ---
    "You have a new message"
    "Yuuna-san"
[11:05] ---
    Sunny Pas?
[11:07] ---
    Your stage?
[11:08] ---
    We figured we'd give the school idols
    we trust most a sneak peek.
[11:14] ---
    We're really proud of it!
[11:16] ---
    The great Sunny Pas's...
[11:17] ---
    ...stage!
[11:18] ---
    This is going to go viral!
[11:20] ---
    I'm going to upload it online first!
[11:23] ---
    Did you hear the part about trust?
[11:24] ---
    Y-Yes...
[11:27] ---
    All right! You're seeing it here first!
[11:29] ---
    This is Sunny Passion's stage this year!
[11:33] ---
    Wow...
[11:36] ---
    It's such a lovely stage...
[11:38] ---
    I wanna see it in person, not remotely!
[11:41] ---
    Everyone on the island
    made it for us in our image.
[11:45] ---
    Since this will be the last time.
[11:46] ---
    Last time?
[11:48] ---
    Yes.
[11:49] ---
    Even if we get past
    these regional prelims,
[11:52] ---
    we'll be going to the Tokyo Tournament,
    and then maybe the finals.
[11:56] ---
    There's a huge possibility that the stages
    will end up somewhere big in Tokyo.
[12:00] ---
    Which means the last time we'll be
    able to stand on stage on this island
[12:04] ---
    as school idols is...
[12:10] ---
    We only made it this far
    because we lived on this island
[12:13] ---
    and had the support of everyone here.
[12:14] ---
    We want people to know more
    about our school and our island.
[12:19] ---
    We want everyone to come here!
[12:22] ---
    Let's both put on amazing performances!
[12:26] ---
    Yes!
[12:26] ---
    We've been blessed...
[12:29] ---
    We have to find our stage, too.
[12:34] ---
    Love Live! Superstar!!
[12:40] ---
    Morning.
[12:42] ---
    You're up early even though it's Sunday.
[12:44] ---
    Practice again?
[12:45] ---
    Yeah. But I'm gonna
    go for a walk before that.
[12:48] ---
    A walk?
[12:49] ---
    Oh...
[12:51] ---
    Hey, where's your favorite place
    in this town, Mom?
[12:54] ---
    Huh?
[13:00] ---
    Five, six, seven, eight...
[13:06] ---
    Kinako-chan.
[13:07] ---
    Huh? Kanon-senpai.
[13:12] ---
    What brings you here?
    Are you practicing on your own, too?
[13:15] ---
    Nope. Today, I was going to try to
    find some hints for our stage.
[13:20] ---
    I know. Kinako-chan,
    you came to this town this year, right?
[13:24] ---
    If you have some time,
    will you walk around with me?
[13:28] ---
    With you, Kanon-senpai?
[13:31] ---
    Yes! Absolutely! I'll go!
[13:39] ---
    I get to go out with Kanon-senpai!
    Oh, happy day!
[13:43] ---
    You've got some on your face.
[13:47] ---
    But there sure are a lot of people out
    first thing in the morning.
[13:50] ---
    Even more so because it's the weekend.
[13:53] ---
    I see this place on TV all the time!
[13:55] ---
    So many fancy people!
[13:58] ---
    They're shooting a drama!
[14:00] ---
    Over there!
[14:01] ---
    Over here!
[14:02] ---
    And everywhere!
[14:05] ---
    That was so much fun!
[14:07] ---
    I'm glad you enjoyed it.
[14:09] ---
    It's so lively wherever we go,
    and everyone's smiling.
[14:13] ---
    I grew up in a place that
    didn't have that many people,
[14:16] ---
    so this is all really exciting.
[14:21] ---
    Kanon-senpai?
[14:23] ---
    A place where it's lively everywhere
    and a lot of people gather...
[14:27] ---
    Kanon-senpai!
[14:29] ---
    Oh, sorry.
[14:30] ---
    Did you figure something out?
[14:33] ---
    Hm... It's almost there.
[14:41] ---
    Hm...
[14:44] ---
    Kanon-chan!
[14:46] ---
    Perfect timing!
[14:49] ---
    Leave the rest to us.
[14:51] ---
    What do you mean?
[14:53] ---
    Until the Love Live is over,
    you all can concentrate on your training.
[14:57] ---
    We'll take care of the student
    council duties until then.
[15:01] ---
    We helped with creating
    the stage last year, too.
[15:04] ---
    Thanks... but if we end up
    going to the nationals...
[15:08] ---
    We'd have to rely on you
    for quite some time.
[15:12] ---
    We can't ask that much of you.
[15:13] ---
    We want to enjoy this
    along with all of you.
[15:17] ---
    That's why if there's something
    we can do or help with, we want to!
[15:21] ---
    So none of us have any regrets.
[15:29] ---
    It's too early to cry.
[15:31] ---
    Well, you're crying, too, Chisato.
[15:37] ---
    You crybabies.
[15:39] ---
    You're crying, too, Sumire-senpai.
[15:44] ---
    I'm so grateful.
[15:53] ---
    Okay! One, two, three, four,
    five, six, seven...
[15:57] ---
    Huh? The numbers just aren't adding up.
[15:59] ---
    Try starting over again.
[16:01] ---
    Why isn't it adding up?!
[16:03] ---
    Hazuki-san was doing
    all of this by herself...
[16:08] ---
    Keep your body in mind.
[16:10] ---
    I-I know!
[16:14] ---
    Amazing!
[16:19] ---
    I'm very good at staying still.
[16:21] ---
    "Liella!
    Stage Meeting!!"
[16:24] ---
    We will now begin our
    Liella! stage meeting!
[16:27] ---
    If anyone has any ideas,
    please raise your hands.

    --Here!
    --Here!
[16:32] ---
    "Love Live Tokyo Tournament
    Liella! possible stage locations"
[16:33] ---
    Wow...
[16:35] ---
    This many again?
[16:37] ---
    These are the possible stages.
[16:39] ---
    Nanami-sanand others
    did a survey with the school.
[16:43] ---
    To no surprise,
    Omotesando is a popular choice.
[16:46] ---
    Well, this road has existed
    for over a hundred years.
[16:50] ---
    It definitely stands out.
[16:52] ---
    But this is where we sang last year.
[16:55] ---
    I mean, that is a valid choice...
[16:58] ---
    But it lacks impact.
[17:01] ---
    This is difficult.
[17:02] ---
    Yup.
[17:07] ---
    The ones who made our stage last year
    was everyone from school.
[17:12] ---
    Yeah.
[17:13] ---
    That must mean everyone
    thinks this place is the best.
[17:21] ---
    Omotesando...
[17:24] ---
    Path...
[17:26] ---
    On the list from earlier!
[17:29] ---
    There's one more... one more...
[17:34] ---
    Kanon-chan?
[17:45] ---
    That's right...
[17:46] ---
    A place that's lively
    and everyone gathers...
[17:59] ---
    A place that's always been here!
[18:07] ---
    A place where our feelings connect!
[18:12] ---
    Kanon-chan!
[18:15] ---
    You're so fast.
[18:16] ---
    What the heck is your deal?
[18:20] ---
    What's wrong, everyone?
[18:22] ---
    Of course we'd be concerned
    when you just dart off like that.
[18:26] ---
    What happened?
[18:28] ---
    Nothing. I just think I figured it out.
[18:32] ---
    Our stage.
[18:34] ---
    Our...
[18:36] ---
    ...stage.
[18:37] ---
    Where is it?
[18:39] ---
    Right here.
[18:40] ---
    Here...?
[18:42] ---
    This path. I think it's because this place
    is where all these paths become one.
[18:47] ---
    I think that's why
    our school was built there.
[18:50] ---
    Paths...?
[18:53] ---
    Yeah.
[18:54] ---
    The paths become one,
    and a lot of people gather here.
[18:59] ---
    It's a place where various hopes and
    dreams come together and connect.
[19:12] ---
    That's why we built our stage here.
[19:17] ---
    People meet here and connect.
[19:21] ---
    That's the kind of school Yuigaoka is.
[19:24] ---
    This is where the paths connect...
[19:28] ---
    And this is where we'll sing.
[19:38] ---
    So that Liella!'s path
    and Yuigaoka's path...
[19:42] ---
    ...can connect...
[19:45] ---
    ...with you!
[20:10] ---
    Is it okay to dream?
    Is it okay to go wild?
[20:13] ---
    You don't need to worry about that,
    you can always just ask your heart
[20:16] ---
    It'd be a waste if you don't
    try things out freely! Let's jump
[20:20] ---
    Every time it's a festival, now,
    let's show some courage
[20:23] ---
    Hurry up and come on over;
    let's all get wild and wilder
[20:27] ---
    Let's head over to the other side of
    this excitement; sure, why not?
[20:30] ---
    We just wanna throw off our coats,
    y'all, yay! And let's have a ball!
[20:37] ---
    Yes! I want to know about you!!!
[20:43] ---
    The day we met is truly a chance day!
[20:46] ---
    It's no coincidence, it's fate
[20:50] ---
    Let's dance and repaint the world
    (Fully, fully, colorful)
[20:56] ---
    Our feelings overlap, chance way!
[21:00] ---
    And our energies connect
[21:03] ---
    Let's do something absolutely amazing
[21:10] ---
    Let's sing and get excited together
[21:24] ---
    It's a festival,
    so let's become one, yay!
[21:48] ---
    We're the members of Yuigaoka Girls'
    High's School Idol Club!
[21:53] ---
    We're Liella!
[22:04] ---
    "Yuigaoka Girls' High School Idols
    Liella! Heads to the Tokyo Tournament!!"
[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!
[23:37] ---
    Next time, "For Victory."
