[00:02] ---
    My mother went to Jingu Music School
[00:05] ---
    and her lifelong dream was to create
    another school in that same location.
[00:09] ---
    So that's why she established Yuigaoka...
[00:11] ---
    But my father was assigned to work
    overseas and was against this idea
[00:15] ---
    and left us.
[00:18] ---
    Even then, my mother worked hard
    until the school was finished...
[00:22] ---
    Part of the reason was overwork,
    but she passed away two years ago.
[00:26] ---
    So when you said you're alone...
[00:29] ---
    Yes.
[00:30] ---
    And that you didn't have any money?
[00:32] ---
    It's embarrassing to admit, but yes.
[00:34] ---
    My father offered to let me live with him
    overseas, but I turned him down.
[00:39] ---
    I want to make the school that my mother
    left me the best in this whole city.
[00:43] ---
    If I don't gather even more students,
    I cannot accomplish this goal.
[00:52] ---
    Sorry for barging in on you.
[00:54] ---
    It's all right.
[00:55] ---
    Looking back at how I'd
    been acting... I can't blame you.
[01:00] ---
    Hazuki-san...
[01:01] ---
    Um...
[01:03] ---
    Regarding everything
    I've told you today...
[01:05] ---
    Could you please keep it between us?
[01:07] ---
    But...
[01:09] ---
    I don't want to make the students anxious
[01:11] ---
    or feel like they regret
    coming to Yuigaoka.
[01:15] ---
    Please.
[01:20] ---
    Mother.
[01:23] ---
    What were you trying to tell me back then?
[01:28] ---
    You can't stop real dreams
[01:34] ---
    Our hearts are about to start running
[01:39] ---
    "Love Live! Superstar!!"
[01:56] ---
    Before we knew it,
    we found something that we loved
[02:01] ---
    Let these feelings reach you
[02:04] ---
    We've made up our minds, we're serious!
[02:07] ---
    I wonder what we can do
[02:09] ---
    The sky's so bright
[02:11] ---
    Let's look up at it
    and sing our hearts out
[02:17] ---
    Doesn't having something you want to do
[02:21] ---
    Make every day fun?
[02:24] ---
    Do you feel that way, too?
[02:29] ---
    Ah, we've been waiting for this moment
[02:31] ---
    This encounter is where we start
[02:34] ---
    Our dreams are drawn together,
    and it all begins
[02:39] ---
    We realized our true desires and now,
    we can't be stopped
[02:45] ---
    Our hearts are about to start running
[02:51] ---
    As fast as they can run
[02:58] ---
    So the reason she wanted to
    conduct the school festival
[03:01] ---
    with just the music program...
[03:02] ---
    Is probably because there weren't
    that many new applicants for the school.
[03:06] ---
    And the efficient music program
    would be able to attract people.
[03:10] ---
    So it's her last resort.
[03:11] ---
    Ow!
[03:12] ---
    This is why people care less
    about the general curriculum!
[03:14] ---
    --Shut up!
    --I can understand where
    she's coming from,
[03:17] ---
    but no one else knows her situation.
[03:20] ---
    Yeah.
[03:21] ---
    But... At this rate, Hazuki-san...
[03:25] ---
    Everyone will continue to have
    the wrong idea about her.
[03:29] ---
    Hazuki-san.
[03:31] ---
    "Signatures opposing the school festival"
[03:32] ---
    Here are signatures we collected
    protesting the school festival.
[03:36] ---
    Just because you're the founder's daughter
[03:37] ---
    doesn't mean the school belongs to you.
[03:39] ---
    Please think about this!
[03:42] ---
    Please take this up with
    the student council.
[03:45] ---
    Now, if you'll excuse me.
[03:46] ---
    What's with that attitude?
[03:48] ---
    She's unbelievable!
[03:52] ---
    I'll try to go talk things out.
[03:56] ---
    This is the only time it'll
    concentrate on the music program!
[03:59] ---
    It's not like we're saying
    that you can't be involved at all!
[04:02] ---
    They're more confrontational
    than I thought they'd be.
[04:04] ---
    Clearly, it's the general curriculum kids
    who are being selfish here!
[04:07] ---
    Don't let them overwhelm you like that!
[04:09] ---
    Well...
[04:11] ---
    We don't want to participate.
[04:14] ---
    Participating is like the music program
    saying, "Oh, we'll let you help out."
[04:19] ---
    I wouldn't go that far...
[04:21] ---
    I think it's a good idea
    to have the festival
[04:24] ---
    showcase music since
    it represents our school...
[04:28] ---
    Then why didn't they ask us
    to participate to begin with?
[04:31] ---
    Like she said in her campaign promise!
[04:33] ---
    Why are you taking the student council
    president's side anyway?
[04:36] ---
    Yeah! She's going to say no if you say
    you want to perform at the festival!
[04:41] ---
    You dummy. Quit repeating the same things.
[04:44] ---
    Okay, then you say something, Sumire-chan!
[04:47] ---
    Don't you want to continue being
    a school idol, Shibuya-san?
[04:50] ---
    We've been rooting for you!
[04:53] ---
    Actually, they're right.
[04:55] ---
    Hazuki-san is against school idols.
[05:00] ---
    I'm going to take the side
    of the general curriculum!
[05:03] ---
    Let us fight together!
[05:05] ---
    Yeah!
[05:06] ---
    Stop making things more complicated!
[05:08] ---
    Someday, I can fly
[05:12] ---
    Someday, I can...
[05:16] ---
    They just keep going.
[05:18] ---
    Looks like they don't care
    about the rest of us.
[05:21] ---
    At this rate, Hazuki-san will be...
[05:24] ---
    I hate her.
[05:25] ---
    We go to Yuigaoka, too!
[05:31] ---
    What should we do?
[05:32] ---
    Things are getting even more complicated.
[05:34] ---
    Well, yeah. Everyone's always felt
    this divide between the two programs.
[05:40] ---
    Yes, and it doesn't look like
    either side will back down.
[05:44] ---
    Yeah...
[05:46] ---
    This is all my fault.
[05:48] ---
    Hazuki-san!
[05:49] ---
    One of the music program students told me
    that you went to talk to them.
[05:54] ---
    Yeah. We thought we might be able to help.
[06:00] ---
    Don't worry! We haven't mentioned
    anything about your private life.
[06:04] ---
    I'm truly sorry. My words
    have now troubled everyone.
[06:09] ---
    You mean you regret what you said?
[06:13] ---
    Yes. The director summoned me
    to her office earlier.
[06:17] ---
    You need to clear things up
    tomorrow at the assembly.
[06:21] ---
    If you fail to come to a solution,
[06:22] ---
    this year's school festival
    will be canceled.
[06:26] ---
    But...
[06:27] ---
    The director went to school
    with my mother,
[06:30] ---
    but she seems rather conflicted about me.
[06:33] ---
    We still have some time!
[06:35] ---
    Let's just talk with both programs
    and do something together!
[06:41] ---
    There's something else on your mind?
[06:43] ---
    Yeah. I think we can make this work
    if you talk to everyone at the assembly.
[06:48] ---
    Of course, I would love to do that.
[06:50] ---
    It's just, school idols are...
[06:55] ---
    Just anything other than
    school idols, please!
[07:00] ---
    I'd rather you didn't do
    idol activities at this school.
[07:06] ---
    Will you tell us why?
[07:09] ---
    This school once had students
    who performed as idols
[07:13] ---
    to save it from closing.
[07:17] ---
    One of them was my mother.
[07:20] ---
    So that's why this room had
    the school idol club plate on the door.
[07:24] ---
    This is long before they were
    officially referred to as "school idols."
[07:28] ---
    Their performances
    became rather popular
[07:30] ---
    and they gathered a lot of attention.
[07:32] ---
    But they weren't able to reach their goal
    and the school closed.
[07:36] ---
    That's why I thought
    I would become a school idol
[07:40] ---
    at this school that my mother founded.
[07:44] ---
    I thought I would get attention for
    the school just like my mother did.
[07:48] ---
    But you were so against us doing it!
[07:51] ---
    But...
[07:53] ---
    Then let's do this together!
[07:54] ---
    If we all work together, we--
[07:57] ---
    There's just nothing left!
[08:00] ---
    No matter how hard I looked...
[08:03] ---
    ...I couldn't find any record
    of her school idol activities.
[08:08] ---
    Even though there were records
    of every other school activity...
[08:12] ---
    There is no record of her ever doing
    idol activities at the school.
[08:17] ---
    And that made me wonder...
    Did my mother regret being an idol?
[08:23] ---
    Did she feel like she couldn't
    save the school as a school idol?
[08:27] ---
    But...
[08:29] ---
    But that's not set in stone!
[08:31] ---
    Then why does nothing exist?
[08:33] ---
    She didn't leave a single photo of
    these supposed precious memories.
[08:37] ---
    How is that possible?!
[08:41] ---
    What do you think?
[08:42] ---
    I can understand how she feels,
[08:45] ---
    but I think it's going too far
    to prohibit school idols!
[08:50] ---
    I mean, in the end,
    this doesn't concern us.
[08:55] ---
    What about you, Kanon-chan?
[08:58] ---
    I really can't imagine her mother
    regretting her school idol activities.
[09:03] ---
    I saw a picture of Hazuki-san's mom
    smiling at their house
[09:07] ---
    and it was dazzling.
[09:10] ---
    I want to find out for sure.
[09:15] ---
    Records from the Jingu Music School?
[09:18] ---
    Yes. I'd like to see anything
    you might have on file.
[09:21] ---
    Please.
[09:23] ---
    The school assembly will be starting soon.
[09:26] ---
    I promise we'll return them by then.
[09:30] ---
    Make sure you don't make a mess.
[09:32] ---
    This isn't it.
[09:33] ---
    This isn't either.
[09:35] ---
    There are records of
    all the other club activities
[09:37] ---
    except for any school idol activities.
[09:40] ---
    There's nothing over here, either.
[09:41] ---
    I've looked through everything many times.
[09:44] ---
    Hazuki-san.
[09:45] ---
    That's the only thing missing.
[09:47] ---
    I can only imagine that
    she willingly got rid of them.
[09:49] ---
    She never said anything?
[09:52] ---
    No... She may have mentioned
    something when I was little...
[09:57] ---
    Though she would always say,
[09:59] ---
    "I hope our feelings connect
    in the same place."
[10:04] ---
    The same place?
[10:05] ---
    That's why she made
    the school here, right?
[10:11] ---
    The school assembly is
    about to start. I must go.
[10:14] ---
    What are you going to do?
[10:16] ---
    I'll probably have to
    talk to everyone honestly
[10:19] ---
    about the current state of this school.
[10:21] ---
    Though I'm uncertain
    how that will turn out.
[10:25] ---
    Feelings connecting in the same place...
[10:30] ---
    Wait!
[10:31] ---
    Hazuki-san. You gave us the key
    to this room, right?
[10:36] ---
    Oh. The director said
    she couldn't find them,
[10:39] ---
    so when I looked around my house,
    I found them in my desk...
[10:43] ---
    Shibuya-san! No running in the hallway!
[10:46] ---
    "School Idol Club"
[10:47] ---
    Kanon-chan!
[10:50] ---
    What did we see when
    we first came to this room?
[10:52] ---
    I can't really remember.
[10:53] ---
    It's in here?
[10:55] ---
    I'm not sure. But I think
    we'll find something!
[11:00] ---
    I didn't see anything over here.
[11:02] ---
    It's just storage.
[11:04] ---
    Something... There has to
    be something here!
[11:14] ---
    Wait... I think this is it!
[11:19] ---
    Love Live! Superstar!!
[11:22] ---
    We will now begin our school assembly.
[11:26] ---
    First, the student council
    president would like to
[11:29] ---
    say a few words regarding
    the school festival.
[11:35] ---
    I am the student council
    president, Ren Hazuki.
[11:37] ---
    Before I speak about the school festival,
[11:39] ---
    please allow me to apologize to you
    for my remarks the other day
[11:42] ---
    and the confusion they have caused.
[11:46] ---
    I'm truly sorry.
[11:48] ---
    I'm sure that many of you
    felt unpleasant or angry.
[11:52] ---
    It's just that I want people on the
    outside to see how wonderful this sch--
[11:56] ---
    What's going to happen
    to the general curriculum?
[11:58] ---
    Are we going to be able to
    participate in the school festival?
[12:01] ---
    Um...
[12:02] ---
    We want to sing even if
    we're not in the music program!
[12:04] ---
    Do we even get that chance?!
[12:06] ---
    Just having us as helpers
    to the music program is cruel!
[12:09] ---
    Please take back what you said!
[12:11] ---
    Are you going to prohibit
    school idol activities, too?
[12:14] ---
    They've done more for
    this school than anyone else!
[12:19] ---
    That's the only thing I...
[12:20] ---
    Wait!
[12:27] ---
    Kanon-chan?
[12:30] ---
    Hazuki-san, there's something
    I'd like to say.
[12:34] ---
    Shibuya-san.
[12:36] ---
    Very well.
[12:38] ---
    Please go up to the stage.
[12:45] ---
    They're all looking at me...
[12:52] ---
    "Jingu Music School"
    "Idol Club Diary"
[12:55] ---
    What is that?
[12:57] ---
    We found this notebook
    in the school idol club room.
[13:03] ---
    This is something the students from
[13:05] ---
    the Jingu Music School wrote
    before this school was created.
[13:09] ---
    These students tried to gather
    students to do idol activities
[13:13] ---
    when they learned that
    the school was going to close.
[13:18] ---
    This is what was written inside.
[13:22] ---
    "We continued being idols at our school,
    but we're still going to lose our school."
[13:28] ---
    "We couldn't stop
    our school from closing."
[13:36] ---
    "But we don't regret anything we've done."
[13:40] ---
    "Jingu Music School"
    "Idol Club Diary"
[13:42] ---
    "The Jingu Music School
    Idol Club Begins!!"
[13:45] ---
    "Because we came together as a school."
[13:48] ---
    "Through our activities, through music,
[13:52] ---
    we all connected!"
[13:55] ---
    "We were able to make
    the best school ever!"
[14:00] ---
    Mother...
[14:02] ---
    "We all worked together,
    dreamed the same dream,
[14:05] ---
    and went through all kinds
    of emotions together."
[14:07] ---
    "This time we spent together
    was like a miracle."
[14:11] ---
    "And that's why I promised everyone..."
[14:15] ---
    "That I would create a school that has
    'connect' in the name here once again."
[14:20] ---
    "Yuigaoka Girls' High School"
[14:21] ---
    "I'm going to create a school
    that connect everyone
[14:23] ---
    through music here once again."
[14:26] ---
    "That is my dream.
    My dream I will see come true."
[14:33] ---
    Your mother created this school and wanted
    to connect everyone through music.
[14:39] ---
    This school is to make
    that dream come true.
[14:43] ---
    A school where the students of
    both programs can be connected.
[14:51] ---
    Being a school idol was
    your mother's best memories.
[14:58] ---
    Her best... memories...
[15:02] ---
    Ren, being a school idol...
[15:10] ---
    ...were my best memories.
[15:19] ---
    This was tucked away with the notebook.
[15:23] ---
    Mother...
[15:27] ---
    Mother...
[15:32] ---
    Mother!
[15:38] ---
    Upsy daisy.
[15:40] ---
    Here you go. All that's left
    of your mother's activities.
[15:44] ---
    You knew, didn't you?
    That my mother was a school idol.
[15:50] ---
    Well, yes. Though I was
    on the supporting side.
[15:54] ---
    Why didn't you tell me?
[15:56] ---
    Don't be too harsh with me, will ya?
    She asked me not to say anything.
[16:00] ---
    She wanted you to make your own decisions
    and for me to watch over you.
[16:04] ---
    Honestly, talk about a pain.
[16:07] ---
    By the way...
[16:08] ---
    Why are you speaking differently?
[16:09] ---
    Hey, this is how I usually am.
[16:12] ---
    Well, you understand now,
    so get a move on!
[16:14] ---
    Get ready for the school festival!
[16:15] ---
    Yes, ma'am! Please excuse us.
[16:21] ---
    I'm sorry.
[16:23] ---
    We're rather behind on the school festival
    preparations because of me.
[16:28] ---
    Come with me.
[16:30] ---
    Wow...
[16:31] ---
    A little more to the right.
[16:32] ---
    Like this?
[16:33] ---
    Yeah!
[16:34] ---
    Where's the stepladder?
[16:36] ---
    --Got it! Here you go!
    --This is the school idols'...?
[16:39] ---
    Yup. The stage we're all creating for
    our performance for the school festival.
[16:44] ---
    All...
[16:45] ---
    Say, Hazuki-san.
[16:58] ---
    Hazuki-san... No, Ren-chan.
[17:02] ---
    Won't you be a school idol with us?
[17:08] ---
    I have no right to do that
    after all the grief I caused you...
[17:14] ---
    I want to sing with you
    as a school idol, Ren-chan.
[17:18] ---
    For the sake of this school... No.
[17:21] ---
    For the sake of all of the feelings
    created in this place.
[17:37] ---
    Don't worry! You can do it!
[17:39] ---
    Be more honest with yourself.
[17:41] ---
    We're always fine, fine!
[18:15] ---
    Okay! Let's all get ready
    for the school festival!
[18:20] ---
    Yeah!
[18:22] ---
    "Yuigaoka Girls' High School 1st
    School Festival!"
[18:22] ---
    Our first ever school festival
    is next Sunday!
[18:25] ---
    We'll be selling some rainbow takoyaki!
[18:28] ---
    We hope you'll come support us!
[18:30] ---
    Huh. I guess they're doing
    a school festival.
[18:33] ---
    Looks like it.
[18:34] ---
    One, two, three, four,
    five, six, seven, eight!
[18:38] ---
    One, two, three...
[18:40] ---
    Amazing, Ren Ren!
[18:42] ---
    Your figure skater skills are paying off!
    You're nothing like that giant isopod.
[18:47] ---
    I keep telling you
    to stop calling me that!
[18:49] ---
    I'm happy.
[18:51] ---
    You just joined but you're
    basically fit to lead us.
[18:54] ---
    You're far too kind.
[18:56] ---
    Ren-chan, want to try being the center?
[19:00] ---
    It's going to be this school's
    first school festival.
[19:03] ---
    Yes, but...
[19:05] ---
    And I want you to sing, Ren-chan.
[19:08] ---
    Me, too.
[19:10] ---
    Me, three.
[19:12] ---
    Well, I'm only going to be the center
    on a much bigger stage.
[19:17] ---
    Guess it's settled.
[19:19] ---
    Coming through!
[19:20] ---
    "Yuigaoka Girls' High School 1st
    School Festival!"
[19:21] ---
    Looking good!
[19:22] ---
    Okay, over here next!
[19:25] ---
    Everyone's staying this late?
[19:27] ---
    We all want everyone to notice our school.
[19:29] ---
    Everyone said we're
    going to help create it together.
[19:34] ---
    Do you think we'll get more applicants?
[19:38] ---
    To be honest, I have no idea.
[19:40] ---
    But we just have to do this.
    We just have to believe.
[19:43] ---
    You're quite strong,
    aren't you, Kanon-san?
[19:46] ---
    I wouldn't say that. It's just...
    I love the moment something begins.
[19:52] ---
    Oh, I know!
[19:56] ---
    What is this?
[19:57] ---
    Since we're all here,
    I figured we could try it.
[20:01] ---
    Could it be? I'll do it!
    I've always dreamed of this!
[20:05] ---
    Can't we just do the usual "hey" thing?
[20:07] ---
    Well, we're school idols.
[20:11] ---
    Let's connect this school through music!
[20:17] ---
    One!
[20:18] ---
    Two!
[20:19] ---
    Three!
[20:20] ---
    Four!
[20:21] ---
    Five!
[20:22] ---
    Yuigaoka Girls' High School Idol Club!
[20:26] ---
    Song for me! Song for you!
[20:27] ---
    (Sing along with me ha-a)
[20:28] ---
    Song for all!
[20:31] ---
    I felt this on the day that we met
[20:37] ---
    My desire to make this come true
    just keeps growing (Starting day a-)
[20:41] ---
    "Yuigaoka Girls' High School 1st School Festival!"
[20:45] ---
    I'll help you protect the thing
    you held onto so tightly
[20:51] ---
    That you were shaking because
    you didn't want it to disappear
[20:59] ---
    Even the morning sun's bright rays
    or sudden showers
[21:06] ---
    Become irreplaceable moments when
    I'm able to smile together with you
[21:16] ---
    Those passionate feelings
    within your chest
[21:23] ---
    On this staff notation
[21:25] ---
    Let's weave them together and
    make them resonate through the blue sky
[21:30] ---
    Tears just don't suit you anymore
[21:36] ---
    Let's all go together
    and keep on believing
[21:43] ---
    This Wish-Song always gives us courage
[21:59] ---
    The melody of hope
    that we heard back then
[22:06] ---
    Created this wonderful present
[22:11] ---
    Let's hold it tight
    and take it with us
[22:19] ---
    On this staff notation
[22:22] ---
    The future we wove together
    is overflowing with light
[22:29] ---
    A smile always looks the best on you
[22:36] ---
    Let's all go together
    and keep on believing
[22:43] ---
    This Wish-Song always gives us courage
[23:18] ---
    Thank you so much!
[23:20] ---
