Before I realized it, the time went by too fast and I became sad.
Everything I do is with you, so it's so much fun!
No matter what color the future shines.

"QU4RTZ's concert was amazing."
"I hope I see them at the School Idol Festival, too!" it says!
It was fun dancing with the four of us.
There was something fun about it that you can't find with solo performances.
Now even more people will know about the club!
The rest of you should hop to it,
so the upcoming School Idol Festival will be a huge hit!
So, hey!
I want to do an online concert!
An online concert?
Yup! I'm sure some people can't make it to the venue,
I live far away so I can't make it to the Fes, but I'd love to be there one day. / I want to see this online / I'll keep supporting you :D
so if people can enjoy our show online, we can all have a great time!
That means we can laze around at home and watch during sleepy times, too.
I see. That's a great way to promote the Fes, too.
If we talk to the Motion Pictures Club, we can probably make this work.
Really, Rinari?!
We'll help, too.
Let's make it a great show.
Thanks, everyone!
While we're at it, I wanna make a unit, too.
I'd love to see that!
Though I've got no idea what to do yet.
Yes?
You don't want to try being in a unit, Karin-chan?
Rather than trying to accommodate someone else,
I'm better when I'm competing with others.
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 4: Ai Love Triangle
That's super cute!
Ai...
Heya, Karin! Whatcha up to?
Huh?
Well... I came to see what's in fashion right now.
Uh-huh.
What?
Who's this?
Allow me to introduce you guys! This is my older sister...
...type person.
I'm Misato Kawamoto.
I've been neighbors with Ai-chan ever since we were little,
and we used to play together all the time.
Sis, this is Karin Asaka!
She's another member in the School Idol Club that I'm in!
It's a pleasure to meet you. Thanks for always taking care of Ai-chan.
Do you mind if I call you Karin-chan?
Sure, that's fine.
Oh, I know! Do you mind if Karin tags along?
Huh?
Yay!
Ai / Karin / Misato
You're both amazing.
We're doing one more game, Ai!
Bring it on!
I'm going to sit this one out.
What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?
You don't need to worry. I'm just a little tired.
I see.
But if you feel off at all, make sure you let me know.
Don't worry, I will.
I'd been in and out of the hospital until recently.
I'm totally fine now, though.
So we're celebrating her release today.
Are you sure it was okay for me to join you two?
Well, we're the ones who invited you.
Let's have plenty of fun together!
Aw, I guess it's a tie.
We'll just have to settle things our next match.
I'mma take it!
You're totally the school idol Ai Miyashita!
Holy crap!
Heya!
I see she's totally popular now.
Yes. She's an excellent singer and dancer.
Okay, cheese!
To me, she's a worthy rival.
Thanks, Ai-chan!
Thanks! See you later!
I see. You two are amazing.
Sis! Karin!
The water bus will be here any minute!
Now, we've just gotta wait till we got a giant monja senbei.
You can tell that your family runs a monja shop.
How you like them monjas?!
Hey, Sis! I'm going to do an online performance soon!
It might be too hard for you to come see me perform in person right now,
but if it was online...
I'll definitely watch it. Thanks, Ai-chan.
So the online concert must've been for Misato-san.
Of course, I want lots of people to see it, too.
You probably wouldn't believe it, but when I was little,
I was a pretty shy crybaby.
You can't be serious.
Totally serious!
But Sis would always smile at me and always take me somewhere to play,
so I made plenty of friends,
and I loved being super active!
So now, it's my turn.
You're finally better now!
Let's go to all sorts of places and do lots of fun things!
Sure.
All right! Eat up, you two!
Cultural Fair Meeting / Club Presidents' Reports
So then it's been officially decided.
The School Idol Festival will be happening with the cultural fair.
Yes!
This is thanks to all of you,
as well as the presentation documents that Mifune-san put together.
I'm happy I could help out.
The student council actually has a request for you, Mifune-san.
What might that be?
In order to make sure that this joint event is a success,
not only do we need the School Idol Club to run the Fes and
the cultural fair committee...
But we also need someone else in charge of both.
And we were hoping you'd take on that task, Mifune-san.
You want me to...?
We believe that you'd be
able to think of a way that everyone could enjoy this event.
What do you think?
If this is a chance for me to do everything I can for the students,
I'd be honored to take this opportunity.
Yaesu Book Center
Oh?
Everyday English / 1000 phrases you can use every day
Misato-san.
Karin-chan.
Is this something you're interested in?
I used to think I wanted to work overseas...
Thanks for yesterday. Because of you and Ai-chan--
I really don't think you need to keep forcing yourself to smile.
What?
I'm sorry. It just seemed like you had something on your mind.
You've known Ai a long time, right?
Then I think it'd be okay to tell Ai how you really feel.
I'm sure that Ai would also--
Right now, Ai-chan found something she wants to do,
and is pursuing it further.
I don't want her to have to worry about anything.
You and Ai-chan are both amazing.
You can sing, dance, and make so many people smile.
Misato-san...
Well, see you later.
Ai
It's morning! Sleepy.
What brought this on so suddenly?
Well, get up! 5 more minutes. I'm awake now. Could we meet up for a bit?
So, hey...
About yesterday...
Any thoughts about how Sis was acting?
You see...
Even when her treatment at the hospital was rough, she would always smile.
But I think it was after she was released...
Sometimes, she seems like she has something on her mind.
I could be imagining it, but maybe she's feeling down.
Yeah, I thought so, too.
I see.
I'm gonna go talk with Sis!
Ai!
What are you going to talk to her about?
What do you mean? I'm going to ask her what's on her mind, cheer her up...
Or hang out if she feels like it.
Do you really think that's what Misato-san wants though?
What do you mean?
I think you should leave her alone for now.
No way!
I can't leave her alone if something's troubling her!
Thanks for hearing me out.
I'm gonna go.
Sorry to ask you to meet up so suddenly.
That's fine. This is sorta nostalgic. We used to come here all the--
Hey, wait up!
Hey, Sis.
There's something I want to ask you.
What's troubling you, Sis?
Nothing...
I want to do everything I can for you!
Please! Tell me what I can do for you!
I can't think of anything.
Sis...
I'm sorry... But I really can't think of anything.
I can't think of anything I want you to do.
Because I...
Because you...?
Wait...
Is this my fault?
No!
It's all my fault.
While I was in the hospital...
All that time I couldn't go to school
made me far more distant with my friends...
But you always tried to cheer me up.
It made me really happy... truly.
You're what kept me going.
But...
Hey, Sis!
I became a school idol!
You found something that you wanted to do.
The closer to you I was while seeing you move forward...
I realized something.
I have nothing left.
I have nowhere I can go.
I can't even really tell what's fun anymore.
You're just doing your best as a school idol... So I'm being really selfish.
What about yesterday?
Huh?
I had so much fun yesterday!
You were feeling better and we got to hang out!
Did you have fun, Sis?
I'll continue to support you, Ai-chan.
I think we should make a poster to reflect how much fun we're going to have.
Why don't we do a countdown to the event on social media?
Look this way!
What are you up to, film crew?
The camera we borrowed from the Motion Pictures Club is super high quality!
Huh...
By the way, where's Karin-san?
She said she was going to observe Ai-san's practice.
I see... So that's what Misato-san said.
Man... I'm such an idiot.
I had no idea how Sis was feeling.
I just figured that I could make her smile...
But I was actually hurting her this whole time.
What do you think I should've done?
Do you think I should've left her alone, just like you said?
Or... Maybe I shouldn't have become a school idol.
There's no point in discussing this.
I realize how much of a shock this is to you.
But the online concert is coming up, so you've gotta pull yourself together.
Your fans are waiting for you.
I can't...
Huh?
I just can't!
I ended up hurting the person who taught me to have fun.
How the heck am I supposed to be a school idol then?!
Are you seriously going to quit?
Fine, then.
I guess I'll just have to perform in your place.
This is the perfect opportunity for me to swipe your fans.
I'm sure I'll be able to win Misato-san over, too. Then she'll be my fan.
No way!
I don't want you to take Sis or my fans from me!
But you're going to quit being a school idol, aren't you?
Then I won't quit!
Because I... I...
Wanna keep being a school idol for so much longer!
Now, that's more like it.
Huh?
There's no one in this world who won't end up hurting someone.
Even then, you'll always have your smile
that shines brightly like the sun.
Yeah.
Well, do your best.
Wait!
I want you to perform with me!
I told you that I'm not interested in that.
No, I don't mean accommodating how I feel.
As a fellow school idol and a rival...
Let's stand on the same stage and compete with the same song!
You're the one who ignited the flame in my heart again,
so I think we'd be able to put on an amazing performance together!
So please!
Compete, huh...?
Well in that case... That might be fun.
You're on, Ai!
Yeah!
I won't let you beat me!
I'm sorry, Ai-chan...
For what I said.
It just felt like you and everyone else...
still had what I had lost.
I just felt so pathetic.
I came all the way here so I could at least apologize...
The stream will start soon.
But I just can't.
There're so many people!
The number of viewers is going up on the streaming site, too.
Rinari?
It's okay.
You've got this, Ai-san.
Thanks!
Off I go!
Hello, everyone!
We're DiverDiva!
To everyone here in the crowd
and those of you beyond the screens...
We're going to win you all over!
Hey, everyone!
Is everyone ready for some fun?
I think some of you aren't quite ready yet!
But that's okay!
Because I've got a lot of fun in my heart
that I've been collecting since I was little!
And now, I'm going to share that with all of you!
So that maybe you can feel like you can take a step forward again...
We're going to make this the best performance ever!
So, everyone here... and everyone who's watching our stream...
I hope you're all ready to smile!
You won't get away.
Hey, I want you to see me
Feel the heartbeat... Yeah
"Let's go!"
3, 2, 1, DD!!!
One million lights exist in this world
Who taught me that? That's you
These happy feelings, this enjoyable view
Don't make that face, look at me now
I'm going to pull you out of your shell
Let it go, we go, that face
It's like you just can't wait!
I want us to understand each other's feelings
But my head just spins round and round
(Cause I can't stop) I found the voice within my heart
(You'll find a way) Just do what you want to do
Don't you think? So let's go for it!
"Ready?"
Let's go! Step into the new world
Show me your true self
Try reaching out your hand, go on
You're the only one and you're wonderful
Let's go! Step into the new world
Hey, I want you to realize it
(I'm going to feel this through my whole body and sing with everything I have)
Until I get through to you!
I can definitely feel this bond that we have
It goes on forever beyond time, eternal light
I never thought you were actually going to come to the venue!
My body just came here on its own.
I was so excited that it was hard to breathe...
My heart was moved.
I had so much fun!
Do you mind if I become your fan, Ai-chan?
Watching you perform makes me so happy,
and I feel like I can try my best.
Yeah!
Good for you, Ai-chan.
It was a lovely performance.
Everyone... Thanks!
Looks like our next competition will worth it, too.
Yeah!
But that's not all.
Thank you!

Misato-san.
Karin-chan...
I knew you were interested.
Yeah. I'm gonna have to start studying hard.
Well, it's never too late...
For anything.
You see... my current goal is to be like you, Karin-chan.
Huh?
I also want to be able to have the type of friendly rivalry you have with Ai-chan.
I won't let you beat me.
Bring it on.
I found you!
You had your eye on me, too
Is this where it all begins?
It's actually already begun (Now, let's go)
Feelings (We have so many of them)
Once they connect (It cheers us up!)
Let our hearts become stronger and let's work even harder
So at any time, our dream is our sun
After we cry, let's put a smile on our faces
And talk about the future
At any time, our dream is our sun
Even if the wind or rain hit hard
Remember, there's a light that shines down on us
I'm going to try to give it my all again today
Top of the top! (I AM THE BEST!)
The world revolves around me
Top of the top!
Top of the world!
Top of the top! (CUZ I AM THE BEST OF THE BEST!)
Well, not bad, huh?
Everyone seemed to enjoy the performance.
Of course, they did. It was my performance, after all.
When I see you perform,
I do believe that people are meant to be on the stage that's best suited for them.
Shioriko!
I'm home. It's been a while.
Sis?
Hm...
