Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club

Let's build a bridge beyond the endless sky!

One that connects us to the future.

Let's go to tomorrow!

The Second School Idol Festival is happening soon!

Great work, Director Osaka!

I'm so glad you like it. Thanks!

Props to Rina and Yu as well. The editing looks professional!

Embarrassing.

You girls made it special!

The fans will love it, too. I can't wait for them to see.

Same. When are you going to post it online?

Well, we're actually in talks with the council

about showing it to the whole student body. Soon!

And since I'm the president, things should go smoothly.

My hope is that we can get more idols from the area,

and even some new fans to participate this time around.

Everyone had a blast last time. People're gonna be pumped!

Sure will, and our uploads from the festival

are racking up a ton a' views!

Lots of high schools have reached out to us.

And I don't just mean Shinonome and Touou.

That makes my heart smile.

Let's practice hard today so we don't let our fans down.

I wanna see total cuteness overload, got it?

Oh, but there's one more thing.

I'm treating you dear club members

to my yummy specialty buns! Eat up, everybody!

Huh?

Heh.

School idols, huh?

I listened to the song. It's good.

Of course it is. I did write it, after all.

Well. Let's go.

Good morning.

Backatcha. Were you up late practicing the piano again?

Guilty.

Getting used to the music course yet?

Well, it hasn't been that long since I switched over.

The first term'll mostly be catchup.

I need quality time at the piano every day.

Make sure that you're not pushing yourself too hard.

Don't worry! This is what I want to do! I'll be fine.

You've got this, Kasumin!

No pressure, this just decides if we get to sing or not.

Why do you wanna make my nerves even worse?

Aw, cheer up. I'm sending you a fortune

of my good luck points. How's that?

Yep, good vibes. Transferring now.

Would you two please take this seriously?

No more stalling. Don't let me down, Hand.

Reach in and draw a winner!

Looking ahead. The second term is overloaded with big events.

First thing on the agenda? Nijigasaki's Open Campus.

That's when middle schoolers get a chance to visit us

and explore everything we have to offer.

Our clubs will be front and center showing their stuff.

The executive committee plays a vital role in this.

It's our job to make sure

everything goes off without a hitch.

With your help, it'll be a success.

Yes, ma'am!

There's been a huge amount of buzz

surrounding our school idols recently.

That should bring in a bunch of new students!

Um. Yes! I think I heard about that, too.

Excuse me, I'm from general studies.

I'm Shioriko Mifune.

Go ahead.

What exactly will the School Idol Club be presenting

to our visitors? A performance of sorts?

I heard they're going to announce the commencement

of another festival, even bigger than the last one.

Yes, that's what my sources told me as well.

An event where your dreams come true.

I must say, it sounds wonderful.

If this will involve girls across our campus,

I'd like to offer my help.

Whatever the club needs, I'm there.

That would be incredible!

Someone's excited.

Uh--

So. No concert at the open campus?

It's our fault!

I'm super depressed.

There's no use crying. We've got a bunch of clubs at school.

Everybody wants the chance to shine.

The lottery was a bust,

but we've got a booth in the west tower.

We can hand out fliers to everyone who passes by.

Oh, that's not the only thing we can do.

Get this. We're premiering our festival promo

on the huge screens in the east tower for everyone to see!

We have a pretty small timeslot,

but it's sure to have people talking!

That'll be awesome.

Is something on your mind?

Just thinking.

With another week of work,

we can get the video to look even better!

Since so many people are gonna be there,

it needs to be perfect.

Mm.

That's smart. I have faith in you!

The rest of us can't relax.

We have to do everything we can to pull off this event!

True.

Let's rock this thing!

Yeah!

How's it going?

A work in progress.

We make one fix--and then we have to change something else.

That sounds rough.

Hm? There's a lot goin' on here. What's in these?

It's just some footage and outtakes we're not using.

Really? Can I see?

Yes. When we're done.

Hello! Welcome to the open campus ladies!

Hi! Come in!

Here ya go.

Thanks! I'm so excited!

We're thrilled to have you.

Thanks.

Can I get one of those?

I'm back, Shioriko.

Oh. It's been a long time, Lanzhu.

I wanna talk to some of the students.

Would you be a darling and point me

toward the School Idol Club?

Did you come for them?

Wow. This place is totally packed.

Jeez. Why didn't we come to this thing

whenever we were in middle school, huh?

Guess it didn't seem necessary.

We already knew the school since we lived so close.

Good point.

And everything worked out for the best.

It took a sec, but we found our place here.

Yeah, we did. What's next on your agenda?

Final touchups for the video.

You're still editing?

Don't freak out. We're almost finished.

But you're already busy with the music course.

You're not burning yourself out, right?

Oh, no. Though I did kind of fail

an important quiz the other day.

What?!

I'll make up for it! Seriously, I'm good.

You're sure?

I found you!

Please, don't run in the hallways!

You must be Ayumu! I'm finally meeting you!

Huh?!

Huh?!

Hi. I came here from Hong Kong as an exchange student

just so I could become a school idol!

Nice to meet you!

An exchange student?

So, you went through all that paperwork, to be on stage?

We've got stuff in common already!

I'm Lanzhu Zhong.

Did you met the new student

from America who enrolled with you?

Yeah, but she doesn't exactly have the same passion

for school idols that I do.

I'm sure she's somewhere around campus.

Huh?

Understood. I should probably head back to my post

before somebody looks for me.

Thanks for your help!

Our childhood friendship is totally paying off.

I'll see you in the east tower later.

For now, I'll take my leave.

Buh-bye!

Hold on, there are plenty of other schools that are famous

for their school idols, so how did you end up

landing on Nijigasaki High?

Because I saw the videos from the festival, obviously.

They grabbed my heart right outta my chest!

I was moved.

Each of you expressed yourselves and your desires so clearly.

It made me want to be on that stage!

And, you know, I'll only be a high school student for so long.

I have to do this while I have the chance.

And that's why... I decided to transfer!

Wow! I don't know what to say! It's settled.

Welcome to the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club!

Awesome! We're actually announcing

the next festival today. Don't miss it!

No way! I'll be there for sure!

We should mingle and hand out more fliers.

That tower needs to be packed.

It's a shame Setsu won't make it
