Honoka: My second year of high school had only just begun, but suddenly our school is facing closure!
Honoka: My high school career is. It's all gonna go away.
Honoka: To keep this school from closing it's doors forever, we gotta get enrollment enough.
I figured out the best way we do that is to form a school idol group and get this place publicity. But...
Umi: No School Idols.
Eli: Give up this idea of yours and focus on what you can do for yourselves.
Honoka: But I still want to do something for my school. I can't just give up! I'll do this, watch me!
Eli: Good morning. What do you want?
Honoka: We would like to ask permission to use the auditorium.
Umi: The student handbook clearly states that students of this school are permitted to use the auditorium for purposes besides club activities.
Nozomi: And their requesting in after school on the day of the welcome party.
Eli: What are you planning to do then?
Umi: Ah well we're...
Honoka: A live-show.
Honoka: The three of us decided. We wanna become school idols. And we're gonna hold our debut concert in the auditorium.
Umi: Honoka...
Kotori: Um...I'm not sure we'll be quite able to do that...
Honoka: Hun? Yeah we will.
Umi: Now hang on. We're not exactly stage-ready, you know?
Eli: Excuse me. Are you ready or not?
Honoka: Yes, we totally will be.
Eli: Because the school's welcome party isn't just for a fun.
Nozomi: Well, they did only come to get permission to use the auditorium.
Nozomi: They're not even in a club, so the student council doesn't have any room to give colorful commentary on their request.
Eli: Well, no but...
Honoka, Umi, Kotori: Excuse us.
Honoka: Score!
Eli: What are you doing. Taking their side?
Nozomi: It's what they guided me to do.
Nozomi: The cards, I mean.
Nozomi: The cards are compelling me to to do so!
(Opening Song)
Umi: I already explained all this to you. It'll be way easier to get whatever we need if we don't mention the idol's stuff.
Honoka: Yeah but why?
Umi: What's with all the bread?
Honoka: My family sells Japanese sweets so this is like a rare delicacy.
Umi: It's not even lunch yet. It'll make you fat.
Honoka: Yeah.
123: Hey!
123: We saw the bulletin board. You're really gonna become school idols?
Umi: What?
123: Umi, I didn't think that was your style.
Umi: Did you post something on the bulletin board?
Honoka: About the concert.
Umi: I can't believe you.
Umi: You are way too optimistic. We only have one month to prepare and we haven't learnt anything yet.
Honoka: But I asked Kotori and she said it'll be OK.
Kotori: This maybe...
Umi: Kotori?
Kotori: Yeah, that will do it.
Kotori: Look it. How about this as a costume for the concert.
Honoka: So cute!
Kotori: You think?
Kotori: The curving part could be kind of tricky to make, but I'm gonna trying to give my best shot.
Umi: Wait, Kotori...
Kotori: What do you think, Umi?
Umi: Um...
Honoka: Super cute, right?
Umi: ...Well this long part going down right here is...
Kotori: Our legs.
Umi: We are going to wear tiny skirts and show our bare legs?
Kotori: Yeah, we're idols.
Honoka: It's all good! Besides, your legs aren't (that thicky?), Umi.
Umi: You won't talk, Honoka!
Honoka: Well...fine. Time for a diet.
Kotori: I really don't think either of you need to worry.
Honoka: We still gotta decide on a whole bunch of really important stuff, autograph style, how to keep a low profile walking around town...
Umi: That's not important at all.
Kotori: Yeah, you're right.
Kotori: Before any of that stuff, our group needs a name.
Umi&Honoka: Ah!
Honoka: I'm totally drawing a blank over here you, guys.
Kotori: I know, right, I wish we had a characteristic that stood out but...
Umi: Yeah, I guess we are all pretty different from each other...
Honoka: Well...maybe we could just use our names then?
Honoka: Umi, You're sea. Kotori, You're Air. And I'm Land.
Honoka: Together, we're Land, Sea, and Air.
Honoka, Umi, Kotori: Defending the peace of our country.
Kotori: It doesn't sound very idoly.
Honoka: No, I know...Ah...Um...Maybe...Oh, That's it!
Honoka: Looks perfect.
Umi: No, it's up to others.
Honoka: Yeah why not? I bet it'll draw more attention this way.
Kotori: Let's hope so.
Honoka: Now! Next step is dancing and singing practice.
Students: Yeah!
Honoka: It's no good. We'd probably get in people's way out here.
Honoka: Ah, jeez. The gym is jam-packed as well.
Kotori: I guess they keep it locked.
Umi: So I guess using a classroom is not an option.
A teacher: An empty class room? What do you need one for?
Honoka: Practice for our school idol live-show.
A teacher: School idols? You three?
Honoka: Nah… It's not funny.
Honoka: Well…
Umi: This is the only place left.
Kotori: There is no shade and we're kinda in a trouble if it rains but I guess we can far too be picky.
Honoka: Uh-huh. But at least we won't have to worry about making too much noise up here. Come on! It's about time we got started.
Honoka: Let's begin with our song.
Umi and Kotori: Okay!
Kotori: Ah...What's song?
Umi: Why don't you ask Honoka?
Honoka: Oh yeah...
Hanayo: Ah...Idols.
Rin: Hey Kayo! Nyan!
Hanayo: Hi Rin.
Rin: What's going on?
Hanayo: Oh...um... Actually nothing really.
Rin: Well, come on let's go.
Hanayo: Okay.
Nico: What is this?
Honoka's mother: Oh! Hi hello there Umi.
Umi: Hi! good evening. Is Honoka home?
Honoka's mother: She's up stairs. Would you care for a little dango?
Umi: No, but thanks anyway. I actually just started diet.
Honoka and Kotori: Good job for working hard today.
Honoka: How about some dango?
Kotori: Oh and a cup of tea.
Umi: How are you enjoying your diet?
Honoka and Kotori: Ahhhh!
Umi: (sighing) Are you guys gonna put any real effort into this or what? And what about the song we are supposed to perform?
Honoka: The other day, I found a first year who's got talent for days. She is an awesome singer and plays piano and all that she can compose great songs. I'm gonna go find her tomorrow and ask her.
Kotori: We were thinking if she could write music for us. Then, our priority would come up with something for the lyrics.
Umi: Something? Like what?
Honoka: Hmm...now!
Kotori: Uh-huh.
Umi: Why are you staring at me?
Honoka: Hey, Umi. Do you remember how in middle school you always used to write poems and stuff?
Umi: What?
Kotori: Yeah, you let us read them sometimes. They were so good.
Honoka: She's getting away!
Kotori: Oh no!
Umi: No, get off, Honoka! Leaving! Let me go!
Kotori: Why not?
Umi: Not writing!
Umi: No way! Not do on it!
Honoka: What!? Oh come on! Why?
Kotori: Yeah.
Umi: Absolutely not! All those poems I wrote in middle school are too embarrassing to even think about.
Honoka: They say idols have to throw away their shame though.
Umi: No they don't!
Kotori: But, Umi I have my hands full making our outfits.
Umi: Then, Honoka can figure out lyrics. I mean this whole idol thing is your idea.
Honoka: Yeah, but I'm not... I don't like manjuu. It makes you wanna throw up. Dango is gross too.
Kotori: You know, she's crapper writing.
Umi: That's true.
Kotori: Oh, please. You are the only one who can.
Honoka: And we both help you out with it. Can you at least do a base for something we can use?
Kotori: Umi, pretty please!
Umi: Fine. It's unfair but you win.
Honoka and Kotori: Oh, right!
Honoka: I knew we can count on you, Umi.
Umi: However, I'll be taking charge of our practice schedule to the concert.
Honoka and Kotori: Practice schedule?
Umi: Looks like fun, right? But they are constantly moving, they never run out of breath, and they are always smiling. They've got incredible stamina. Honoka, would you demonstrate some pushups for us if you don't mind?
Honoka: Huh? Like this?
Umi: Very good. Now, give us a smile.
Honoka: Sure thing.
Umi: Now, can you do them both at the same time?
Umi: I should be fine because at least I'm in archery. But you two have really got to work on your stamina so you can maintain your smile while you're performing.
Kotori: Who knew. Being an idol is pretty hard work.
Umi: Well, let's start.
Honoka: I'm dying. Five laps is too much.
Kotori: My legs won't work any more.
Umi: Starting today, every moring and evening, in addition to rehearsal, you will participate in physical training.
Honoka and Kotori: Twice a day!?
Umi: You heard me. If we're putting on a concert, we're going to do this right. Otherwise, we won't be able to attract any new students.
Honoka: Yeah.
Umi: All right. You're ready for another set?
Honoka: Okay!
Nozomi: Good afternoon.
Kotori: Vice president?
Honoka: Isn't that outfit...
Nozomi: I sometimes help out around here. You know, as a spiritual place, a shrine gathers all sorts of energies. Since you're using the stairs here for training, you should think about paying a visit to the shrine.
Honoka: May our first concert be a great success.
Honoka, Kotori, Umi: May be a great success.
Nozomi: Sounds like they mean it. Guess they are not fooling around.
Honoka: What up all you, first year students. I'm your school idol, Honoka Kosaka. Hold on, don't they all know who I am know?
Umi: No, why would they?
Kotori: Anyway, which one is the girl you said is good at piano and singing?
Honoka: Her! There you are! You got a minute?
Maki: What's for?
Maki: No way I refuse.
Honoka: Oh please! We'd really love you to be our composer.
Maki: I said I refuse.
Honoka: Oh! Maybe you just sing and play but you're not actually a composer?
Maki: Of course I can compose, but I'm not going to help you out so give it a rest
Honoka: We're trying to attract students to our school if we could use one of your sounds...
Maki: Not interested.
Honoka: No way, I refused. that's great. Sounds like you, Umi.
Umi: Seems pretty normal to me
Honoka: And after you wrote such nice lyrics too.
Umi: What's a... Hey! Why did you!
Honoka: But we're gonna sing it in front of everyone once we have the music
Umi: (?) until we do.
Honoka: Oh, How long, Ms. President?
Eli: Can I borrow you for a second?
Teacher: Now then when both A and B are real numbers the sum of a + bi is known as a complex number...
Honoka: We might have the opposite effect.
Eli: Just think about it. We've never had a school idol here before.How is it going to look to everyone if we try and end up failing miserably at it. I'd rather not see our school close either and I really mean that she had better not be taking all of this lightly.
Honoka: Maybe she's right. Maybe I haven't been taking this whole thing very seriously.
Umi: Took you long enough to realize it.
Honoka: I didn't come up with this plan of some kind of joke.I'm following the practice schedule you made out for us.My legs are super sore because of it.
Umi: I don't doubt it, Honoka. I know you're trying hard but give them careful consideration to what the student council president said.
Honoka: Yeah I have but we've only got less than a month now.
Kotori: If we're really putting on a concert, we only at least figure out our song.
Umi: Now we run out of time to look for another composer. we might have to resort to just singing a cover of a song from some other Idol group.
Kotori: I guess you are right.
Honoka: Yeah.
123: How goes the training?
123: Just let us know if there's anything we can help you with for the concert.
123: Yeah, like the lighting or ushering you're pretty blowing, right?
Honoka: You mean it?
123: Of course!
123: After all, you guys are doing all of this for our school.
123: Everyone in our class agrees that we should all do our part.
Honoka: Well, that's great news.
123: Good luck with everything.
Honoka: Thanks so much. See you later!
123: Later!
Honoka: Huh? Ah!
Umi: We got one?
Kotori: Like for real?
Honoka: Right, here! One!
Honoka: Use?
Umi: No, I think it reads Muse.
Honoka: Like for your hair, you mean?
Umi: No, not mousse. The muses are from Greek mythology, goddesses of the Arts, I think.
Kotori: I think it's a sweet name. I really like it!
Honoka: Muse, huh?
Honoka: As of today, we are now called Muse!
Student: I hear they're always practicing on the roof
Student: I never thought the school actually had an idol group.
Rin: Nya, Kayo, are you ready to go?
Hanayo: Yeah.
Honoka: Nobody's here.
Rin: Meow?
Honoka: Hey, where is that girl?
Rin: Which girl?
Hanayo: Nishikino, you mean, the really good singer?
Honoka: Yeah, that's the one! Would you tell me her name again?
Hanayo: Maki, Ms. Maki Nishikino.
Honoka: Too bad, I really wanted to have a chat with her but I think she's already had it for home. Just my luck!
Rin: She might be in the music room.
Honoka: Really, you think so?
Rin: Yeah cuz she seems to keep to herself most of the time. She's always in the library during breaks and goes to the music room after school.
Honoka: Oh I gotcha. Well, thanks again you guys!
Hanayo: Ah, wait!
Honoka: Huh?
Hanayo: Ah, good luck being an idol. You'll be great.
Honoka: Yeah, thank you!
Maki: What do you want now?
Honoka: Oh you know I just thought I'd ask you again.
Maki: You sure are persistent.
Honoka: That's one way of putting it. Umi always telling me that I'm stubborn.
Maki: The thing is, I don't even listen to that type of music I prefer classical and jazz.
Honoka: Really? Why is that?
Maki: Pop music is lame. It's got no substance. The artist just goof around.
Honoka: Yeah that's true.
Maki: Huh?
Honoka: I used to feel the same way, you know, that it would be easy to become a big star! And we just party all the time and have fun singing and we're in cute clothes but actually it's been really hard work.
Honoka: Hey, can you do any push-ups?
Maki: What?
Honoka: Oh, I'm sorry.
Maki: Well, of course, I can do damn push-ups.
Maki: One, two, three... Are you satisfied?
Honoka: Well, you're strong. You can do way more than me!
Maki: Of course I can. You may not be able to tell...
Honoka: OK, now do with smiling.
Maki: What? Smiling?
Honoka: Yeah, let's see it!
Honoka: See? Being an idol's not so easy.
Maki: What are you talking about?
Maki: You are nuts.
Honoka: Here, lyrics. Can you at least read them one.
Maki: I already told you, right?
Honoka: Reading them can't hurt right? I'll ask you what you think later if you still don't want to do it after that I'll leave you all alone.
Maki: Just don't get your hopes that my answer is not gonna change.
Honoka: Well it's okay if it doesn't. As a consolation, let me listen to you sing again?
Maki: Huh?
Honoka: You see I really love your voice, Ms. Nishikino. That's why I'm asking you to compose for us because your music truly moved me I mean it.
Honoka: We train at the local shrine every morning and evening, so drop by and check it out if you'd like.
Honoka: You see, I really love your voice, Ms. Nishikino.
Honoka: Hey, gets stop, please!
Kotori: I think I...
Umi: That's too bad. You both got two laps to go still or are you just going to give up?
Honoka: Umi, you're any of tiring?
Umi: I think (?).
Honoka: Did you hear that?
Kotori: Yeah.
Maki: Get your hands off!
Nozomi: Oh, my, It seems you still got some growing to do.
Maki: Hey!
Nozomi: But don't you give up hope just yet there's still time. You still have plenty of room to grow.
Maki: Have room for what?
Nozomi: If you're too embarrassed or something you can always try to subtle approach.
Maki: Subtle? What are you talking...
Nozomi: You know what I mean.
Honoka: See you later!
Yukiho: Hey, Honoka. Is all the stuff for you? It's not addressed to anyone. It just says "Muse" on it.
Honoka: What?
Honoka: Huh? Ah... really?
Honoka: Here goes.
Honoka: That voice, could it be.
Honoka: She did it. It's real song.
Kotori: And it's our song.
Umi: Our very own song.
Umi: A vote?
Honoka: C'mon! We got a practice!
Umi and Kotori: Yeah!
MC: Next time on Love Live! "First Concert!"
What up all you, first year students. I'm your school idol, Honoka Kosaka.

The thing is, I don't even listen to that type of music I prefer classical and jazz.
Honoka:
Really? Why is that?
Maki:
Pop music is lame. It's got no substance. The artist just goof around.
Honoka:
Yeah that's true.
Maki:
Huh?
Honoka:
I used to feel the same way, you know, that it would be easy to become a big star! And we just party all the time and have fun singing and we're in cute clothes but actually it's been really hard work.
Honoka:
Hey, can you do any push-ups?
Maki:
What?
Honoka:
Oh, I'm sorry.
Maki:
Well, of course, I can do damn push-ups.
Maki:
One, two, three... Are you satisfied?
Honoka:
Well, you're strong. You can do way more than me!
Maki:
Of course I can. You may not be able to tell...
Honoka:
OK, now do with smiling.
Maki:
What? Smiling?
Honoka:
Yeah, let's see it!
Honoka:
See? Being an idol's not so easy.
Maki:
What are you talking about?
Maki:
You are nuts.
Honoka:
Here, lyrics. Can you at least read them one.
Maki:
I already told you, right?
Honoka:
Reading them can't hurt right? I'll ask you what you think later if you still don't want to do it after that I'll leave you all alone.
Maki:
Just don't get your hopes that my answer is not gonna change.
Honoka:
Well it's okay if it doesn't. As a consolation, let me listen to you sing again?
Maki:
Huh?
Honoka:
You see I really love your voice, Ms. Nishikino. That's why I'm asking you to compose for us because your music truly moved me I mean it.
Honoka:
We train at the local shrine every morning and evening, so drop by and check it out if you'd like.
Honoka:
You see, I really love your voice, Ms. Nishikino.
Honoka:
Hey, gets stop, please!
Kotori:
I think I...
Umi:
That's too bad. You both got two laps to go still or are you just going to give up?
Honoka:
Umi, you're any of tiring?
Umi:
I think (?).
Honoka:
Did you hear that?
Kotori:
Yeah.
Maki:
Get your hands off!
Nozomi:
Oh, my, It seems you still got some growing to do.
Maki:
Hey!
Nozomi:
But don't you give up hope just yet there's still time. You still have plenty of room to grow.
Maki:
Have room for what?
Nozomi:
If you're too embarrassed or something you can always try to subtle approach.
Maki:
Subtle? What are you talking...
Nozomi:
You know what I mean.
Honoka:
See you later!
Yukiho:
Hey, Honoka. Is all the stuff for you? It's not addressed to anyone. It just says "Muse" on it.
Honoka: My second year of high school had only just begun, but suddenly our school is facing closure!
Honoka: My high school career is. It's all gonna go away.
Honoka: To keep this school from closing it's doors forever, we gotta get enrollment enough.
I figured out the best way we do that is to form a school idol group and get this place publicity. But...
Umi: No School Idols.
Eli: Give up this idea of yours and focus on what you can do for yourselves.
Honoka: But I still want to do something for my school. I can't just give up! I'll do this, watch me!
Eli: Good morning. What do you want?
Honoka: We would like to ask permission to use the auditorium.
Umi: The student handbook clearly states that students of this school are permitted to use the auditorium for purposes besides club activities.
Nozomi: And their requesting in after school on the day of the welcome party.
Eli: What are you planning to do then?
Umi: Ah well we're...
Honoka: A live-show.
Honoka: The three of us decided. We wanna become school idols. And we're gonna hold our debut concert in the auditorium.
Umi: Honoka...
Kotori: Um...I'm not sure we'll be quite able to do that...
Honoka: Hun? Yeah we will.
Umi: Now hang on. We're not exactly stage-ready, you know?
Eli: Excuse me. Are you ready or not?
Honoka: Yes, we totally will be.
Eli: Because the school's welcome party isn't just for a fun.
Nozomi: Well, they did only come to get permission to use the auditorium.
Nozomi: They're not even in a club, so the student council doesn't have any room to give colorful commentary on their request.
Eli: Well, no but...
Honoka, Umi, Kotori: Excuse us.
Honoka: Score!
Eli: What are you doing. Taking their side?
Nozomi: It's what they guided me to do.
Nozomi: The cards, I mean.
Nozomi: The cards are compelling me to to do so!
(Opening Song)
Umi: I already explained all this to you. It'll be way easier to get whatever we need if we don't mention the idol's stuff.
Honoka: Yeah but why?
Umi: What's with all the bread?
Honoka: My family sells Japanese sweets so this is like a rare delicacy.
Umi: It's not even lunch yet. It'll make you fat.
Honoka: Yeah.
123: Hey!
123: We saw the bulletin board. You're really gonna become school idols?
Umi: What?
123: Umi, I didn't think that was your style.
Umi: Did you post something on the bulletin board?
Honoka: About the concert.
Umi: I can't believe you.
Umi: You are way too optimistic. We only have one month to prepare and we haven't learnt anything yet.
Honoka: But I asked Kotori and she said it'll be OK.
Kotori: This maybe...
Umi: Kotori?
Kotori: Yeah, that will do it.
Kotori: Look it. How about this as a costume for the concert.
Honoka: So cute!
Kotori: You think?
Kotori: The curving part could be kind of tricky to make, but I'm gonna trying to give my best shot.
Umi: Wait, Kotori...
Kotori: What do you think, Umi?
Umi: Um...
Honoka: Super cute, right?
Umi: ...Well this long part going down right here is...
Kotori: Our legs.
Umi: We are going to wear tiny skirts and show our bare legs?
Kotori: Yeah, we're idols.
Honoka: It's all good! Besides, your legs aren't (that thicky?), Umi.
Umi: You won't talk, Honoka!
Honoka: Well...fine. Time for a diet.
Kotori: I really don't think either of you need to worry.
Honoka: We still gotta decide on a whole bunch of really important stuff, autograph style, how to keep a low profile walking around town...
Umi: That's not important at all.
Kotori: Yeah, you're right.
Kotori: Before any of that stuff, our group needs a name.
Umi&Honoka: Ah!
Honoka: I'm totally drawing a blank over here you, guys.
Kotori: I know, right, I wish we had a characteristic that stood out but...
Umi: Yeah, I guess we are all pretty different from each other...
Honoka: Well...maybe we could just use our names then?
Honoka, Umi, Kotori: Introducing! Hiya! Honoka! Umi! Kotori!
Umi: Makes me think of comedians.
Honoka: Yeah, so much...I got it!
Honoka: Umi, You're sea. Kotori, You're Air. And I'm Land.
Honoka: Together, we're Land, Sea, and Air.
Honoka, Umi, Kotori: Defending the peace of our country.
Kotori: It doesn't sound very idoly.
Honoka: No, I know...Ah...Um...Maybe...Oh, That's it!
Honoka: Looks perfect.
Umi: No, it's up to others.
Honoka: Yeah why not? I bet it'll draw more attention this way.
Kotori: Let's hope so.
Honoka: Now! Next step is dancing and singing practice.
Students: Yeah!
Honoka: It's no good. We'd probably get in people's way out here.
Honoka: Ah, jeez. The gym is jam-packed as well.
Kotori: I guess they keep it locked.
Umi: So I guess using a classroom is not an option.
A teacher: An empty class room? What do you need one for?
Honoka: Practice for our school idol live-show.
A teacher: School idols? You three?
Honoka: Nah… It's not funny.
Honoka: Well…
Umi: This is the only place left.
Kotori: There is no shade and we're kinda in a trouble if it rains but I guess we can far too be picky.
Honoka: Uh-huh. But at least we won't have to worry about making too much noise up here. Come on! It's about time we got started.
Honoka: Let's begin with our song.
Umi and Kotori: Okay!
Kotori: Ah...What's song?
Umi: Why don't you ask Honoka?
Honoka: Oh yeah...
Hanayo: Ah...Idols.
Rin: Hey Kayo! Nyan!
Hanayo: Hi Rin.
Rin: What's going on?
Hanayo: Oh...um... Actually nothing really.
Rin: Well, come on let's go.
Hanayo: Okay.
Nico: What is this?
Honoka's mother: Oh! Hi hello there Umi.
Umi: Hi! good evening. Is Honoka home?
Honoka's mother: She's up stairs. Would you care for a little dango?
Umi: No, but thanks anyway. I actually just started diet.
Honoka and Kotori: Good job for working hard today.
Honoka: How about some dango?
Kotori: Oh and a cup of tea.
Umi: How are you enjoying your diet?
Honoka and Kotori: Ahhhh!
Umi: (sighing) Are you guys gonna put any real effort into this or what? And what about the song we are supposed to perform?
Honoka: The other day, I found a first year who's got talent for days. She is an awesome singer and plays piano and all that she can compose great songs. I'm gonna go find her tomorrow and ask her.
Kotori: We were thinking if she could write music for us. Then, our priority would come up with something for the lyrics.
Umi: Something? Like what?
Honoka: Hmm...now!
Kotori: Uh-huh.
Umi: Why are you staring at me?
Honoka: Hey, Umi. Do you remember how in middle school you always used to write poems and stuff?
Umi: What?
Kotori: Yeah, you let us read them sometimes. They were so good.
Honoka: She's getting away!
Kotori: Oh no!
Umi: No, get off, Honoka! Leaving! Let me go!
Kotori: Why not?
Umi: Not writing!
Umi: No way! Not do on it!
Honoka: What!? Oh come on! Why?
Kotori: Yeah.
Umi: Absolutely not! All those poems I wrote in middle school are too embarrassing to even think about.
Honoka: They say idols have to throw away their shame though.
Umi: No they don't!
Kotori: But, Umi I have my hands full making our outfits.
Umi: Then, Honoka can figure out lyrics. I mean this whole idol thing is your idea.
Honoka: Yeah, but I'm not... I don't like manjuu. It makes you wanna throw up. Dango is gross too.
Kotori: You know, she's crapper writing.
Umi: That's true.
Kotori: Oh, please. You are the only one who can.
Honoka: And we both help you out with it. Can you at least do a base for something we can use?
Kotori: Umi, pretty please!
Umi: Fine. It's unfair but you win.
Honoka and Kotori: Oh, right!
Honoka: I knew we can count on you, Umi.
Umi: However, I'll be taking charge of our practice schedule to the concert.
Honoka and Kotori: Practice schedule?
Umi: Looks like fun, right? But they are constantly moving, they never run out of breath, and they are always smiling. They've got incredible stamina. Honoka, would you demonstrate some pushups for us if you don't mind?
Honoka: Huh? Like this?
Umi: Very good. Now, give us a smile.
Honoka: Sure thing.
Umi: Now, can you do them both at the same time?
Umi: I should be fine because at least I'm in archery. But you two have really got to work on your stamina so you can maintain your smile while you're performing.
Kotori: Who knew. Being an idol is pretty hard work.
Umi: Well, let's start.
Honoka: I'm dying. Five laps is too much.
Kotori: My legs won't work any more.
Umi: Starting today, every moring and evening, in addition to rehearsal, you will participate in physical training.
Honoka and Kotori: Twice a day!?
Umi: You heard me. If we're putting on a concert, we're going to do this right. Otherwise, we won't be able to attract any new students.
Honoka: Yeah.
Umi: All right. You're ready for another set?
Honoka: Okay!
Nozomi: Good afternoon.
Kotori: Vice president?
Honoka: Isn't that outfit...
Nozomi: I sometimes help out around here. You know, as a spiritual place, a shrine gathers all sorts of energies. Since you're using the stairs here for training, you should think about paying a visit to the shrine.
Honoka: May our first concert be a great success.
Honoka, Kotori, Umi: May be a great success.
Nozomi: Sounds like they mean it. Guess they are not fooling around.
Honoka: What up all you, first year students. I'm your school idol, Honoka Kosaka. Hold on, don't they all know who I am know?
Umi: No, why would they?
Kotori: Anyway, which one is the girl you said is good at piano and singing?
Honoka: Her! There you are! You got a minute?
Maki: What's for?
Maki: No way I refuse.
Honoka: Oh please! We'd really love you to be our composer.
Maki: I said I refuse.
Honoka: Oh! Maybe you just sing and play but you're not actually a composer?
Maki: Of course I can compose, but I'm not going to help you out so give it a rest
Honoka: We're trying to attract students to our school if we could use one of your sounds...
Maki: Not interested.
Honoka: No way, I refused. that's great. Sounds like you, Umi.
Umi: Seems pretty normal to me
Honoka: And after you wrote such nice lyrics too.
Umi: What's a... Hey! Why did you!
Honoka: But we're gonna sing it in front of everyone once we have the music
Umi: (?) until we do.
Honoka: Oh, How long, Ms. President?
Eli: Can I borrow you for a second?
Teacher: Now then when both A and B are real numbers the sum of a + bi is known as a complex number...
Honoka: We might have the opposite effect.
Eli: Just think about it. We've never had a school idol here before.How is it going to look to everyone if we try and end up failing miserably at it. I'd rather not see our school close either and I really mean that she had better not be taking all of this lightly.
Honoka: Maybe she's right. Maybe I haven't been taking this whole thing very seriously.
Umi: Took you long enough to realize it.
Honoka: I didn't come up with this plan of some kind of joke.I'm following the practice schedule you made out for us.My legs are super sore because of it.
Umi: I don't doubt it, Honoka. I know you're trying hard but give them careful consideration to what the student council president said.
Honoka: Yeah I have but we've only got less than a month now.
Kotori: If we're really putting on a concert, we only at least figure out our song.
Umi: Now we run out of time to look for another composer. we might have to resort to just singing a cover of a song from some other Idol group.
Kotori: I guess you are right.
Honoka: Yeah.
123: How goes the training?
123: Just let us know if there's anything we can help you with for the concert.
123: Yeah, like the lighting or ushering you're pretty blowing, right?
Honoka: You mean it?
123: Of course!
123: After all, you guys are doing all of this for our school.
123: Everyone in our class agrees that we should all do our part.
Honoka: Well, that's great news.
123: Good luck with everything.
Honoka: Thanks so much. See you later!
123: Later!
Honoka: Huh? Ah!
Umi: We got one?
Kotori: Like for real?
Honoka: Right, here! One!
Honoka: Use?
Umi: No, I think it reads Muse.
Honoka: Like for your hair, you mean?
Umi: No, not mousse. The muses are from Greek mythology, goddesses of the Arts, I think.
Kotori: I think it's a sweet name. I really like it!
Honoka: Muse, huh?
Honoka: As of today, we are now called Muse!
Student: I hear they're always practicing on the roof
Student: I never thought the school actually had an idol group.
Rin: Nya, Kayo, are you ready to go?
Hanayo: Yeah.
Honoka: Nobody's here.
Rin: Meow?
Honoka: Hey, where is that girl?
Rin: Which girl?
Hanayo: Nishikino, you mean, the really good singer?
Honoka: Yeah, that's the one! Would you tell me her name again?
Hanayo: Maki, Ms. Maki Nishikino.
Honoka: Too bad, I really wanted to have a chat with her but I think she's already had it for home. Just my luck!
Rin: She might be in the music room.
Honoka: Really, you think so?
Rin: Yeah cuz she seems to keep to herself most of the time. She's always in the library during breaks and goes to the music room after school.
Honoka: Oh I gotcha. Well, thanks again you guys!
Hanayo: Ah, wait!
Honoka: Huh?
Hanayo: Ah, good luck being an idol. You'll be great.
Honoka: Yeah, thank you!
Maki: What do you want now?
Honoka: Oh you know I just thought I'd ask you again.
Maki: You sure are persistent.
Honoka: That's one way of putting it. Umi always telling me that I'm stubborn.
Maki: The thing is, I don't even listen to that type of music I prefer classical and jazz.
Honoka: Really? Why is that?
Maki: Pop music is lame. It's got no substance. The artist just goof around.

Maki: One, two, three... Are you satisfied?
Honoka: Well, you're strong. You can do way more than me!
Maki: Of course I can. You may not be able to tell...
Honoka: OK, now do with smiling.
Maki: What? Smiling?
Honoka: Yeah, let's see it!
Honoka: See? Being an idol's not so easy.

Honoka: What?
Honoka: Huh? Ah... really?
Honoka: Here goes.
Honoka: That voice, could it be.
Honoka: She did it. It's real song.
Kotori: And it's our song.
Umi: Our very own song.
Umi: A vote?
Honoka: C'mon! We got a practice!
Umi and Kotori: Yeah!
MC: Next time on Love Live! "First Concert!"
