    Previously on Love Live! Superstar!!
[00:04] ---
    The regional prelims were coming up,
[00:06] ---
    so we were looking for a stage that
    could be a symbol to represent us.
[00:09] ---
    Symbol...
[00:11] ---
    We continued to look for it
    with the help of everyone at school.
[00:14] ---
    Then, finally...
[00:15] ---
    People meet here and connect.
[00:19] ---
    That's the kind of school Yuigaoka is.
[00:21] ---
    This is where the paths connect...
[00:23] ---
    And this is where we'll sing.
[00:25] ---
    The performance was a huge success!
[00:27] ---
    We made it through the regional prelims
[00:28] ---
    and we're headed off to
    the Tokyo Tournament!
[00:29] ---
    "Yuigaoka Girls' High School Idols
    Liella! Heads to the Tokyo Tournament!!"
[00:31] ---
    We have an announcement.
[00:32] ---
    Our very own school idol group
    from Yuigaoka Girls' High, Liella!,
[00:36] ---
    has made it to the Tokyo Tournament.
[00:39] ---
    --Ooh, they did it.
    --I repeat. Liella! has made it
    into the Tokyo Tournament.
[00:40] ---
    --Well, of course, they did.
    --I repeat. Liella! has made it
    into the Tokyo Tournament.
[00:42] ---
    --Yeah!
    --I repeat. Liella! has made it
    into the Tokyo Tournament.
[00:43] ---
    Congratulations!
[00:45] ---
    Thanks!
[00:46] ---
    Natsumi-chan, you just joined
    and you're amazing!
[00:49] ---
    This went viral by the way.
[00:54] ---
    T-Twenty thousand likes... This is...
[00:56] ---
    My time's finally arrived!
[00:58] ---
    It's arrived!
[01:01] ---
    We just got through
    the regional prelims...
[01:04] ---
    But you're really popular, too.
[01:08] ---
    Wh-When did that happen?
[01:10] ---
    Twenty thousand likes.
    Now everyone knows how cute you are.
[01:15] ---
    Cute?! What the hell are you
    talking about? I'm not cute.
[01:27] ---
    Congrats!
[01:28] ---
    Yeah, thanks!
[01:30] ---
    But the next part is the most important.
[01:32] ---
    Yeah. Kanon-chan's super pumped to
    make sure we all get to the finals,
[01:36] ---
    so we can all celebrate together.
[01:38] ---
    Though it looks like some of us
    are plenty emotional already.
[01:42] ---
    Thank you...
[01:44] ---
    Thank you so very much.
[01:46] ---
    I'm the student council president,
    but you've all helped me so much.
[01:50] ---
    Nah, it's no big deal.
[01:51] ---
    This school belongs to all of us!
[01:54] ---
    Everyone... Yes.
[01:58] ---
    So any new info on the Tokyo Tournament?
[02:01] ---
    Shut up. There are plenty
    of formidable groups,
[02:04] ---
    but our biggest rival is the great
    Sunny Pas that won last year...
[02:10] ---
    Wh-What?!
[02:12] ---
    But that's impossible...
[02:14] ---
    They're not here.
    Sunny Pas... isn't listed!
[02:18] ---
    Sunny Pas isn't listed as one of the
    groups going to the Tokyo Tournament!
[02:22] ---
    What?
[02:25] ---
    We're now going to fight
[02:27] ---
    Let's create our own wind
[02:31] ---
    We're going to climb
[02:33] ---
    We're never going to lose,
    we're going to win!
[02:39] ---
    More, more, more!!
[02:47] ---
    Let's always surpass
[02:49] ---
    Who we were yesterday
[02:53] ---
    Even if we don't know
[02:55] ---
    Just how much we can do,
    we're always fired up
[02:58] ---
    I want to smile together with you
[03:00] ---
    I want to know about worlds
    I've yet to discover
[03:03] ---
    I'm going to become stronger
[03:06] ---
    I don't wanna give up
[03:09] ---
    Are you ready? Let's start up right now!
[03:14] ---
    We're going to aim for the top
[03:17] ---
    More than now, more than ever
[03:20] ---
    Our hearts are pounding
[03:24] ---
    Let's make it come true!
[03:25] ---
    Right at this moment, as much as we can
[03:28] ---
    We're dreaming,
    because that's all we can do
[03:31] ---
    We met, so this wish gives us passion
[03:36] ---
    We can go
[03:39] ---
    Let's make the impossible happen
[03:44] ---
    We're going to continue believing,
    so WE WILL!
[03:55] ---
    What could've happened...?
[03:56] ---
    Does that mean they didn't
    make it through the prelims?
[03:59] ---
    "For Victory"
[03:59] ---
    How could you say something so rude?
[04:01] ---
    There's no way that
    the great Sunny Pas would lose.
[04:03] ---
    You're the one who told us
    they're not there.
[04:05] ---
    But why...
SIGN    "Yuuna-san"
    "It's been a while~~"
SIGN    "Yuuna-san"
    "It's been a while~~"
    "Mao-san" "Could you contact us later?"
[04:14] ---
    Ooh, looks like you're all there.
[04:17] ---
    Congratulations on making it
    to the Tokyo Tournament.
[04:20] ---
    Congratula-pa!
[04:22] ---
    Thank you very much. But, um...
[04:26] ---
    We figured you may be worried,
    so Yuuna suggested that we contact you.
[04:31] ---
    Sorry!
[04:33] ---
    We were looking forward to singing with
    you girls at the Tokyo Tournament, but...
[04:37] ---
    Then you really...
[04:38] ---
    What happened?
[04:41] ---
    You blew the competition
[04:42] ---
    out of the water in last year's regional
    prelims and the year before that.
[04:45] ---
    Right?
[04:47] ---
    We may have gotten too ahead of ourselves.
[04:52] ---
    It's not as though we tried any less...
[04:55] ---
    But we may have
    let our guard down a little.
[04:59] ---
    We ended up losing to a solo act.
[05:02] ---
    A solo act?
[05:03] ---
    I'm pretty sure you've
    met her before, as well.
[05:07] ---
    Yeah! This girl right here!
[05:08] ---
    "A New Star Appears!"
[05:10] ---
    Oh! She's the girl from
    the Yoyogi School Idol Fes.
[05:14] ---
    Margarete-chan.
[05:15] ---
    Yeah. She sang after us,
[05:18] ---
    but right after she started singing,
    we thought, "Shoot!"
[05:23] ---
    We were totally blown away.
[05:26] ---
    The great Sunny Pas...
[05:28] ---
    ...was blown away?
[05:30] ---
    She's that amazing?
[05:32] ---
    What the heck?
[05:34] ---
    Where the heck are all these
    nemeses coming from?
[05:37] ---
    You don't have any time to lose hope.
[05:39] ---
    Huh?
[05:40] ---
    Currently, the Love Live
    is held once a year.
[05:43] ---
    Which means that you can only attempt it
    three times in high school.
[05:47] ---
    You need to go in thinking
    every time might be your last shot.
[05:51] ---
    Otherwise...
[05:53] ---
    It'll be over before you know it.
[05:56] ---
    Yuuna-san...
[05:59] ---
    Just some advice from
    your overbearing senpai.
[06:03] ---
    We hope you'll keep striving to win.
[06:05] ---
    Bye.
[06:08] ---
    Yuuna! Mao!
[06:12] ---
    Kids...
[06:13] ---
    We're sorry.
[06:14] ---
    It's okay!
[06:16] ---
    Thank you!
[06:32] ---
    Here you go!
[06:32] ---
    "Congratulations on making it
    to the Tokyo Tournament!!"
[06:34] ---
    Wow...
[06:35] ---
    Congrats on getting into
    the Tokyo Tournament.
[06:38] ---
    Thank you very much!
[06:39] ---
    I'm going to make some Hamburg steaks now.
[06:42] ---
    --Okay...
    --What? Not happy?
[06:44] ---
    Huh?!
[06:45] ---
    I mean, I wish we could celebrate more...
[06:49] ---
    But our next hurdle's huge...
[06:52] ---
    What would you do, Manmaru?
[06:55] ---
    Huh...
[06:57] ---
    Huh? That's...
[06:59] ---
    "Hottest Love Live! News!"
[06:59] ---
    She was just here.
[07:02] ---
    She was having tea right there.
[07:04] ---
    Huh?
[07:05] ---
    Was she spying on us?
[07:07] ---
    Are people really going that far now?
[07:09] ---
    Then we'll just have to
    take drastic measures!
[07:15] ---
    On the day of the tournament,
[07:16] ---
    if we drop one drop of
    this liquid into her drink,
[07:19] ---
    our ticket to the finals
    will be certified!
[07:24] ---
    --V.
    --That's not happening!
[07:27] ---
    Why is that all you can come up with?
[07:30] ---
    She's not too different from you, Sumire.
[07:33] ---
    Such boring reactions.
[07:34] ---
    In that case! We'll just use
    the Orthodox method of
[07:37] ---
    spreading baseless gossip about
    Wien Margarete on the internet
[07:39] ---
    and watch her burn.
[07:41] ---
    How the hell is that Orthodox?
[07:43] ---
    That has always been
    the way of the internet.
[07:46] ---
    Would you stop already?
[07:51] ---
    Chisato-senpai,
    is something bothering you?
[07:54] ---
    Huh? No, it's nothing.
[08:04] ---
    See you tomorrow!
[08:05] ---
    Yes.
[08:06] ---
    See you!
[08:08] ---
    Be careful!
[08:10] ---
    Can just the second-years stay behind?
[08:12] ---
    Huh?
[08:14] ---
    The first-years?
[08:16] ---
    Yeah...
[08:16] ---
    I was watching videos and saw
[08:19] ---
    that there's still a clear
    skill difference between us.
[08:22] ---
    But the first-years are working hard.
[08:24] ---
    Even the performance the other day,
    they were keeping up with our steps.
[08:28] ---
    Of course, I know that, but...
[08:31] ---
    You're saying that being able to do the steps
    doesn't mean we're going to win.
[08:36] ---
    At this rate, would it be difficult
    for us to get to the finals?
[08:41] ---
    Probably...
[08:42] ---
    So you think it's best for the first-years
    to practice even harder?
[08:47] ---
    Well, I wanted to get everyone's
    thoughts on what we should do.
[08:52] ---
    But if we told them, they would worry.
[08:55] ---
    Well, yeah.
[08:56] ---
    They've already been saying that
    they feel like we're ahead of them.
[09:00] ---
    I don't think we need to tell them.
[09:02] ---
    Keke-chan...
[09:04] ---
    The first-years are working hard.
[09:06] ---
    If we told them now,
    they would probably try too hard.
[09:10] ---
    It would probably become
    difficult for them to sing.
[09:13] ---
    But you--
[09:14] ---
    I just want to have fun
    singing with everyone!
[09:17] ---
    Yeah, I agree.
[09:20] ---
    Then let's continue our training
    without telling the first years
[09:23] ---
    and rethink our
    training regimen a little bit.
[09:26] ---
    Yes.
[09:30] ---
    Then we'll leave the training regimen
    to you two, Chi-chan and Keke-chan.
[09:34] ---
    Got it!
[09:35] ---
    If you'll excuse me.
[09:56] ---
    Why are you coming this way, Sumire?
    Your home is that way, isn't it?
[10:00] ---
    I have somewhere I need to go.
[10:02] ---
    Then you should go by yourself.
[10:04] ---
    I'll go home this way.
[10:08] ---
    Are you sure about this?
[10:12] ---
    About what?
[10:14] ---
    If we don't get good results
    at the Love Live,
[10:16] ---
    you'll still be forced to go
    back to Shanghai, right?
[10:21] ---
    If they let you off the hook last year,
[10:24] ---
    doesn't that mean you absolutely
    need to produce results this time?
[10:29] ---
    This doesn't concern you, Sumire.
[10:33] ---
    Of course it does. If anything,
    this is a huge deal for Liella!
[10:38] ---
    Do you really not trust us?
[10:42] ---
    Keke!
[10:44] ---
    I hate you.
[10:47] ---
    You need to tell everyone!
[10:50] ---
    I cannot. I just want to have fun
    singing with everyone.
[10:55] ---
    That's the kind of school idol
    I always dreamed of being.
[11:00] ---
    Keke!
[11:04] ---
    Keke, wait!
SIGN    "Wien Margarete Heads to the Love Live! Tokyo Tournament!!" "Previous Victors Sunny Passion Sadly Don't Make It Past Regionals!!"
[11:28] ---
    Huh?
[11:29] ---
    Kanon Shibuya.
[11:34] ---
    Why are you singing in a place like this?
[11:37] ---
    Huh?
[11:39] ---
    I'll show you what true singing is.
[11:42] ---
    I'll show you just how puny and pathetic
    that stage you're singing on actually is.
[11:48] ---
    It's not pathetic!
[11:50] ---
    The stage we're singing on...
    The Love Live is the best place!
[11:55] ---
    I see. Then mark my words.
[11:58] ---
    You'll understand
    what they mean the day of.
[12:15] ---
    Hey!
[12:19] ---
    Our training regimen
    is changing starting today.
[12:22] ---
    Ooh...
[12:23] ---
    We're finally getting ready
    for the Tokyo Tournament.
[12:25] ---
    How exciting!
[12:26] ---
    I'm starting to worry
    about body aches already.
[12:30] ---
    Sumire?
[12:32] ---
    Before that, I have something
    to tell all of you.
[12:35] ---
    What is it?
[12:37] ---
    Our next performance...
[12:40] ---
    I think just the five second-years
    should perform.
[12:45] ---
    Love Live! Superstar!!
[12:48] ---
    Sumire-chan...
[12:49] ---
    Are you serious?
[12:51] ---
    Yes. I thought about this all last night.
[12:54] ---
    In order for us to beat that girl,
[12:55] ---
    in order for us to make it to the finals,
    this is the only way.
[12:58] ---
    Sumire...
[13:00] ---
    Why? Are you that scared of her?
[13:03] ---
    She beat Sunny Passion. Of course I am.
[13:07] ---
    Right...
[13:09] ---
    Even then, that doesn't guarantee
    we're going to lose.
[13:12] ---
    Would we even be allowed to
    compete with just the five of us?
[13:16] ---
    Yes. Adding more members that
    weren't in the prelims is prohibited,
[13:20] ---
    but there's no rule against
    members not competing.
[13:23] ---
    If we don't compete...
[13:25] ---
    The second-years could create
    an even better performance...
[13:28] ---
    That's what you mean, right?
[13:30] ---
    Don't be ridiculous!
[13:32] ---
    Yeah. There's no point in winning
    if it's just the five of us.
[13:36] ---
    Our goal is to win and celebrate
    with the whole school.
[13:40] ---
    But... what if we lose?
[13:44] ---
    A lot of people will be sad.
[13:46] ---
    In that case, we should
    heighten our chances of winning.
[13:53] ---
    You heard them. The first-years agree.
[13:58] ---
    Sumire-chan.
[13:59] ---
    We have to win.
[14:01] ---
    I agree with that!
[14:03] ---
    But there's no point if all the members
    of Liella! don't perform!
[14:06] ---
    Because... Everyone here
    belongs to Liella!
[14:16] ---
    Well, I want to make a comeback
    in the world of show business.
[14:21] ---
    By producing results here,
[14:22] ---
    I'm going to make sure
    the whole world sees me,
[14:24] ---
    and I'm going to make it
    back into that world.
[14:27] ---
    That's why I can't lose here.
[14:33] ---
    Are you seriously saying that?
[14:36] ---
    Well?! Answer me!
[14:39] ---
    I'm serious...
[14:45] ---
    Stop this!
[14:47] ---
    Keke-chan...
[14:49] ---
    Please, stop this.
[15:00] ---
    I'm sorry about all this.
[15:02] ---
    We're still going to have morning practice
    at the usual time tomorrow.
[15:05] ---
    Is everything going to be okay?
[15:08] ---
    Yes. We're going to talk this out,
[15:11] ---
    so the rest of you, please continue
    getting ready to perform.
[15:20] ---
    Now, then...
[15:21] ---
    I should probably hear
    Sumire-chan out on my own, right?
[15:26] ---
    Chi-chan...
[15:27] ---
    I get how you feel, Kanon-chan.
[15:30] ---
    I'm pretty sure we all
    agree with you, Kanon-san.
[15:33] ---
    But I'm sure Sumire-chan
    has her reasons, too.
[15:37] ---
    Yeah, I'm sorry for
    raising my voice earlier.
[15:40] ---
    It's okay! I was glad, actually.
[15:43] ---
    It showed how serious you are about this.
[15:45] ---
    You really do care about all of us.
[15:49] ---
    Yes!
[15:50] ---
    Ren-chan...
[15:51] ---
    Um...
[15:54] ---
    Would you mind if
    I went to talk to Sumire?
[16:02] ---
    What are we gonna do?
[16:03] ---
    All we can do is do what we were told.
[16:06] ---
    Our senpais will talk to Sumire-senpai.
[16:12] ---
    But is that really okay?
[16:14] ---
    Mei...
[16:16] ---
    They said what they did because
    they were worried about our feelings,
[16:21] ---
    but maybe they want to win
    just as badly as Sumire-senpai.
[16:26] ---
    Everyone at school is counting on us, too.
[16:29] ---
    But as first-years,
    we've been working hard for this.
[16:33] ---
    What do you think we should do, Mei-chan?
[16:37] ---
    What about you, Kinako?
[16:42] ---
    Get a grip, Sumire.
[16:44] ---
    You were prepared to become
    the bad guy, remember?
[16:49] ---
    Sis.
[16:50] ---
    What?
[16:51] ---
    Can I have this?
[16:54] ---
    No!
[16:56] ---
    What? Boo, you meanie! Nyah!
[17:03] ---
    Ugh, what am I supposed to do?!
[17:09] ---
    You four...
[17:11] ---
    Sumire-senpai, your outfit...
[17:14] ---
    It looks good on you.
[17:16] ---
    Wh-What? My family runs a shrine,
    so what do you expect?
[17:20] ---
    So what did you want?
[17:22] ---
    Er, we just wanted you
    to hear this, Sumire-senpai.
[17:27] ---
    Huh?
[18:07] ---
    We just sent you what
    the first-years are thinking.
[18:12] ---
    So we won't perform
    at the next performance.
[18:14] ---
    The five second-years should be the only
    ones to perform at the Tokyo Tournament.
[18:18] ---
    And then...
[18:21] ---
    Let us see you win it.
[18:27] ---
    Girls...
[18:29] ---
    How...
[18:31] ---
    How am I supposed to do that?!
[18:34] ---
    How hard do you think we've
    all worked and practiced?!
[18:38] ---
    We've all been working hard from morning
    to night for the sake of the Love Live!
[18:43] ---
    But...
[18:44] ---
    We all worked so hard
    so we could celebrate together!
[18:47] ---
    You seem to be saying something
    different now, Sumire-senpai.
[18:51] ---
    You're the one who said you wanted
    to perform with just the second-years.
[18:56] ---
    But I...
[18:57] ---
    We can perform with all nine of us.
[19:00] ---
    Keke-senpai...
[19:05] ---
    The most important thing
    is that we all sing together.
[19:08] ---
    We'll make it the best
    performance together.
[19:11] ---
    But... But!
[19:17] ---
    I told you I don't mind,
    so why do you keep meddling?
[19:22] ---
    Why are you suffering all alone?
[19:26] ---
    Because I can't do this...
[19:27] ---
    Huh?
[19:29] ---
    I want to be with you.
[19:31] ---
    I want to continue being a school idol
    with you for all three years.
[19:39] ---
    Keke, you dummy!
[19:43] ---
    Sumire!
[19:45] ---
    Sumire-chan!
[19:51] ---
    Sumire?
[19:56] ---
    This is...
[19:57] ---
    This saved me.
[20:00] ---
    That's why I want to thank you.
[20:02] ---
    I want to do everything to make sure
[20:03] ---
    you get to be a school idol
    with us until the end.
[20:07] ---
    I don't want to let you
    go back to Shanghai!
[20:10] ---
    Shanghai...?
[20:11] ---
    What's that supposed to mean?
[20:13] ---
    She's going back if we don't win...
[20:16] ---
    If we don't get some kind of results...
[20:20] ---
    Keke's going to be sent back home.
    She's going to be gone!
[20:25] ---
    You truly are stupid...
[20:34] ---
    Keke...
[20:37] ---
    You always have to meddle, Sumire.
[20:41] ---
    You always do things that upset me.
[20:44] ---
    You always disagree with my decisions.
[20:47] ---
    And you always butt into everything I say.
[20:50] ---
    Shut up! Shut up! Shut up--
[21:00] ---
    I really hate you.
[21:06] ---
    I hate you, and I love you.
[21:19] ---
    What should we do?
[21:21] ---
    Isn't it obvious? Chi-chan!
[21:23] ---
    Yup!
[21:26] ---
    Okay, all ready.
[21:28] ---
    What is this?
[21:29] ---
    Our training menu so we'll all be
    ready for the Tokyo Tournament.
[21:33] ---
    Huh? This much?
[21:35] ---
    Can you actually pull this off when
    you're just a crybaby with no energy?
[21:38] ---
    Right back at you,
    you crybaby giant isopod.
[21:45] ---
    Okay, are you ready, first-years?
[21:48] ---
    We're going to start
    our special training today.
[21:50] ---
    To make sure the nine of us can win!
[21:57] ---
    Liella!
[21:59] ---
    Super start!
[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] ---
