It's okay. You're never alone.
Everyone is with you.
Just try to believe that what's important is right there next to you.
Niji High...
--Fight on! Fight on! Fight on! --Fight on... Fight on... Fight on...
--Kanata-senpai, --Fight on... Fight on... Fight on...
your timing is off.
Oh? Whoops, my bad.
They sure are working hard.
Will they be okay though?
There's not much time until our joint concert,
and they're going to sing as a quartet.
If this is what those four decided, we've just got to support them.
Indeed.
We need to practice hard, too!
Yeah!
--You're all so amazing for challenging yourselves in different ways.
--Niji High... --You're all so amazing for challenging yourselves in different ways.
--Fight on! Fight on! Fight on! --You're all so amazing for challenging yourselves in different ways.
--Fight on! Fight on! Fight on! --Yeah.
--Fight on! Fight on! Fight on! --I need to hurry, or I'll never be able to catch up to everyone.
--Niji High... --I need to hurry, or I'll never be able to catch up to everyone.
--Fight on! Fight on! Fight on! --Huh?
--Fight on! Fight on! Fight on! --Oh, it's nothing.
Onward to the joint concert!
Let's play this dream, rainbow world!
(Colorful World! Colorful! Colorful Dream! Colorful! Yeah!)
"Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club"
We ran out during the days of the rainbow-colored season
The light that pours in as I wake from this dream is so bright
Do you feel this unending heartbeat towards the future right now?
(I feel the same as you...!)
I can hear the excitement in your chest, let's use that as the signal to start
Even if the clouds float by and the passing showers wet my cheeks
The clear, blue sky will stretch across again
Let's sing, let's sing (Together!)
When our hearts connect, let's go!
Together, now (Here we go, ready, and...!)
You go, I go! We go!
Dream on!
Our dreams resonate together in this melody!
It stretches on forever
Fly! High!
Let's head towards the never-ending sky (Everybody! Draw! Dream!)
Any new beginning where we're together
Will bloom into a smile! Right now, high
Sky! High!
Freely, yes, brighten your colors
This trajectory we run along as we smile shines so bright
Never-ending new stories (We all together!)
Let's continue creating them together
"Episode 3: sing! song! smile!"
And so... The four of us should...
...wear matching cute outfits!
Hey, that's a great idea! Let's all dance wearing kigurumis!
Uh, kigurumis?
Why don't we just hold a virtual concert?
--Schwing! --That way, we can transform into whatever we want.
We can do anything in our dreams.
If there are four of us, we can line up four beds onto that stage.
Are you planning to sleep during the concert?
Sleep is very important.
--It is, but... --Yes, very important.
You can be cute, too, Kanata-senpai!
Erf...
We're going in four different directions.
I'm pretty sure we've had this conversation before.
We only have one week until the joint concert.
At this rate, we won't get through to Lanzhu-chan,
or have any fun with the fans.
I wonder if doing this with the four of us was too much.
It's too early to give up.
We still have a week.
What if each of us takes one day
and takes the proper time to express what we want to do?
That way, I think we can understand each other more.
That's a great idea!
Yeah! Let's do that!
Way to go, Rinako!
The time we have for club probably won't be enough time. So...
So the four of you are doing a training camp?
Yup! We're going to take turns sleeping over at each of our homes.
Today is going to be Kasumi-chan's place.
Huh...
I won't be able to come wake you up in the morning for a while.
Do you want me to call you instead?
I'll be fine. I'm not a child.
Don't worry about me, and get all the practice you need.
Yeah!
Okay, I'll see you later.
Heya, Karin.
Ooh, you're drinking coffee?
I got some tea because I wanted to hear the tea.
Because you know, tea!
Ai...
Uh... yes?
Could you call me at seven in the morning?
Huh?
And so, our training camp begins!
How we look is very important, so we need to decide on some outfits!
I went and borrowed a bunch of cute outfits
from the Costumes and Accessories Club!
--Ta-dah! --Twinkle, twinkle, twinkle!
--Take that! --Magical!
Ooh...
We all look super cute!
Really?
Okay, everyone. Let's stand on stage like this!
Yeah, that might be a bit much for the stage...
It's a little embarrassing.
I'd be okay if it was a kigurumi.
But you were all so into it!
Sorry.
So you want all four of us to look as cute as you do.
Well, you, Emma-senpai, and Rinako are super cute,
so I want to make you look even cuter!
I see.
Come on! Take me seriously!
We are!
Hey, is this...
...your photo album, Kasumi-chan?
I-I'm still sorting through that one!
"Ceremony"
--You look so cute!
--That's not cute at all! --You look so cute!
--That's not cute at all!
Oh, I wouldn't say that.
Well, you should!
Today is the final supplementary class for all of you who transferred
or changed courses.
For your last assignment, I would like for you to take everything you've learned
and compose a song, then perform it.
Compose a song on my own...
"Student Council Office"
Regarding the School Idol Festival we were discussing the other day...
Why don't we combine that event with the cultural fair?
Combine it?
That's quite the idea...
Do you think the school would allow this?
There's definitely a chance.
Right now, the majority of the students want to participate in the Festival.
Yes, and there are various things to think about such as how we
can get the school idols from other schools and the fans to participate...
Leave that to me.
Let's bring this up with the school.
Thank you for the wonderful idea, Mifune-san.
Do you like school idols as well, Mifune-san?
I'm just doing what I do best.
Oh, Shioriko!
Lanzhu.
How are your school idol activities going?
I heard that you held a concert.
Yup! I've actually done a few, and they've been a huge success.
I'd expect nothing less from you, Lanzhu.
I'm planning on doing an even bigger show next.
Hey...
You'll come see me, right?
Of course.
Speaking of...
"Nijigasaki High School Idol Club & Y.G. International Academy Joint Concert" "Check out or website for details"
I was also invited to this concert, as well.
Are you going, Lanzhu?
Yes.
"Konoe"
We should definitely come up with a performance
that we can enjoy along with the fans.
Agreed.
And so... I came up with a design for our stage!
Ta-dah!
This isn't a stage! It's a giant pillow!
It's a dreamy setup where we can enjoy some sleepy times with the fans.
That seems really comfy.
I think I'd have some nice dreams.
You're not supposed to sleep!
Dinner's ready!
Okay!
Okay, eat up.
It looks so yummy!
Oh, I'll serve everyone rice.
You're fine!
You take it easy today.
Mom and I will do it.
Sorry I couldn't help with the cooking.
What are you talking about?
You brought your friends over for once, Kana-chan.
Let me actually act like your mother sometimes.
Okay, everyone. Eat up before it gets cold.
Let's eat!
--Buono! --Yummy!
I made that rolled omelet.
Excellent work!
My sis taught me herself!
I see.
Oh yeah, Sis. You ironed my uniform, didn't you? Thank you.
Ah...
There were some wrinkles, so...
Oh, Rina-chan. You've got some on your mouth.
All better.
Thank you. Embarrassed.
Hm... Yeah, this is pretty hard.
Whoa, Hanpen!
Hey, wait!
Mia-chan?
Who said you could call me "Mia-chan"? I'm in a higher grade than you.
How's your song coming along?
Huh? Oh. Mine's been done for a while now.
Huh?! Wow, you really are a pro.
I haven't gotten anywhere.
I see. Well, bye.
Huh?
--Wait! Help me out here!
--Uh... --Wait! Help me out here!
My brain's full from all of stuff from the supplementary classes.
I wanted to learn how to compose songs,
but I can't think of any melodies that I like.
I don't think you liking it really matters.
Huh?
Faithfully creating what people want to hear is what music is about.
If you're doing this for the teacher,
then you should be fine as long as you apply the stuff you learned.
What people want to hear...
That's all you're going to get from me. See ya, Baby-chan.
Question one. What comes to mind when you hear "red fruit"?
"Apples"
Apples.
"Strawberries"
Strawberries.
Cherries.
"Cherries"
"Passionfruit"
Passionfruit!
What are we doing?
I thought up a game where we can sync our thoughts more.
Say what now?
Next, question two.
What does "Nijigasaki High School" make you think of?
"School Idol Club"
The School Idol Club.
"The campus is pretty!" "So many different courses"
So many different courses.
"The campus is pretty!"
The campus is pretty!
"Where Karin-chan gets lost"
Where Karin-chan gets lost.
We're not matching at all.
This is harder than we thought.
We're doing this until we do.
Huh?
Question three. What does "Odaiba" make you think of?
Rainbow Bridge!
Venus Fort!
Joypolis.
The beef bowl place that has big servings!
Where even is that?! Emma-senpai, are you even trying?
I am!
Lies!
We're still doing this.
Erf...
We're not syncing up at all.
I'm tired...
Me, too...
We're definitely all over the place.
And we've spent three nights together!
Maybe we're better off doing this solo...
Not to mention, it's not just Lanzhu Zhong we have to impress.
There's no point if we or the fans don't enjoy this.
You're right.
What's something the four of us
can only do together?
What people want to hear...
What people want to hear, huh...
"Let's do this!" "Fight!" "4 more days until the joint concert!"
Are they going to be okay?
Hm...
Is something troubling you, as well, Yu-san?
Hm...
Are you okay?!
Huh?!
So your assignment's not going well?
I asked Mia-chan for some advice...
But I still can't come up with anything.
All the other kids seem to be doing just fine.
True... It is definitely important to make something that people want to hear.
But you know, I don't think that's enough.
Yeah. I think you should do what you want to do, Yu-chan.
But then...
I believe what's important is if you end up truly satisfied or not.
I don't think you have to try so hard to find what's "right."
It's okay if you try and it doesn't all work out.
Honestly, I'd love to hear a song that reminds me of you.
That reminds you of me...
That itself is pretty difficult...
I'm not unique like any of you girls.
Huh?
--What are you talking about?! --Huh?!
You have plenty of unique traits, Yu-chan.
Y-You think so?
You're always so thrilled.
Yup.
You understand everyone really well.
You always support us with our feelings in mind.
Huh? Is that how I seem to all of you?
You don't even realize it?
To be honest, no.
Really?
But... I see. That makes me really happy.
I think I'm feeling even more motivated now thanks to you girls.
Thank goodness!
Thanks! I'll do my best.
Thank goodness Yu-chan was feeling better.
I had no idea Yu-san thought of herself that way though.
Seriously.
It might not just be Yu-chan.
Hm? What do you mean?
I think everyone might be great at observing others,
but maybe we're not very good at seeing ourselves.
Do you think that goes for us, too?
You think so?
Speaking of...
How does Kasumin seem to all of you?
Heh!
Teehee!
You actually think a lot about everyone else.
--Huh? --Totally.
Even when you were talking about our outfits,
you were thinking about all of us and not just yourself.
Well, you actually take really good care of everyone,
despite how much of a free spirit you are, Kanata-senpai!
Nah...
Totally!
It was like there were two moms when we were at your place.
Really?
Mhm.
This is sort of embarrassing.
Hey, what about me?
You always seem so laidback and cozy, but you're also pretty determined.
You're very straightforward.
Really?
And I think that's lovely!
Thanks.
Rina-chan is really good with taking the lead.
Rinako's the one who suggested the training camp, too.
Embarrassed.
This training camp was for us to explain what we wanted to do...
But in the end, we ended up learning about ourselves through each other.
But I think I have a clearer idea now.
When we're performing as solo artists, we get to be our usual selves.
But when we're together, we can discover new things about ourselves.
Let's try to create a new color together!
Sorry to keep you waiting!
Let's do this, everyone!
Okay, let's do this.
Okay!
Rina-chan!
--Ah, Lanzhu. --Emma-chan!
Kasumi-chan!
Everyone!
It's a pleasure to meet you!
We are...
...QU4RTZ!
Alright! It's going to be okay
You can rely on me every once in a while, OK!
The wind passed through us
And we heard a pleasant rhythm
This world is so big
It's a miracle that we were able to meet
Be yourself, all of our various shapes
Made me realize that
Even if the light is shut out, our colors keep changing
We couldn't see this panorama on our own
It's almost like a prism!
Let's enjoy our life together
With our whole bodies☆
Shake it! Shake it! Shake it! Move to the rhythm
Colorful, make it! Make it! Just like you want it
It's almost blinding how dazzling this harmony of our voices is
As many times as you want, shake it! Shake it! Shake it!
The world is amazing
Let's make it! Make it! Make it!
We're playing freely, let's all have fun☆
The excitement just won't stop in my heartbeat
Do you think we got through to Lanzhu-chan?
I'm sure we did.
So this is the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club...
I couldn't replicate that performance even if I wanted to.
I'll give them that.
But...
That was amazing.
I know, right?
It was awesome!
It feels like they're a step ahead of us now.
Apparently, even performances like this are possible.
They look like they're having so much fun!
Yeah.
Next, Yu Takasaki-san.
Yes, ma'am.
The girls in the School Idol Club helped me find my dream.
The reason I wanted to do music is because I wanted to be like them
and be able to express myself.
In this world...
...there's only one me.
It doesn't matter if I can do this perfectly...
This is something that only I can do.
"School Idol Club"
We don't know where we're headed to just yet.
Hopefully, there's an exciting future awaiting us.
If we can all smile about that...
Then I...
"Episode 4: Ai Love Triangle"
Next time!
Ai...
...Love Triangle.
