Wow! It flew over there!
Now it's your turn, Chika-chan.
All right, me too then.
Hey! Ah...
I thought it would go further.
Chika-chan! One more try, once more!
Hey!
This is yours?
Yep, that's right.
We'll fly! Over the rainbow!
Let's dance, one more time...
In this school, with everyone, with Aqours...
You know, there's something we want to tell you, Chika...
And all of you.
Something you want to tell us?
What is it? Zura?
That's right!
A story about us third years, and the future of Aqours!
Our future...
That's right!
I always wanted to shine
I wanted to make it all start
While meeting friends along the way
we've come to run down a path
Starting from zero towards one
how difficult could that really be?
But what happened then
(But what happened then)
that became a connection
That's right!
I didn't understand it
and went through tears and sweat
My friends encouraged me
and we've come to this path
Look up the grand blue sky
in a day to day I want to tell
That's why we all
(That's why we all)
Got ourselves giving our all!
Always my dreams are inside my heart
Even if I start to lose their sight
And that's why we are never giving up!
Because we finally saw that light
Even if I became a bit obsessed
I believed it'd change, I believed it
With all of you
That's right!
One after another,
all my wishes came true
It was nice to have met all my friends and go down this path
But you see, there's an end to everything we have started
So where should we go?
(Where should we go?)
Obviously to our goal!
So all, let's run even further than now
Despite all my care, I'm still worried
And that's why we are never going to stop!
Because I want to feel that warmth
And in a very different form
A new dream I want to see
Aah, what should we do?
(Thinking ahead)
Aah, what should we do?
(Where should we head?)
Can you see? Can you tell?
Our future selves do...?
That's right
As expected from myself
I tried to cast a spell
Accepting that I should see them all off, my dear friends, with sorrow
It's not the end
It's all right
Let's cheer up, let's laugh it off!
I want to see if
(I want to see if)
We can still give it some more!
So all, let's run even further than now
Despite all my care I'm still worried
And that's why we are never going to stop!
Because I want to feel that warmth
And in a very different form
A new dream I want to see
So when the curtain rises up
We are going to sing forever
And an endless dream we will see!
They're already gone.
Come on, let's go practice.
That's right.
Even though the six of us go to a new school, Aqours continues.
That's right.
After all, that's what we decided.
That makes me more motivated, zura!
Giran~
You never change, huh?
How annoying!
Ah!
What's going on?
Where are we going to practice?
Where? Well, where we always...
Ah... that's right. We can't use the school.
What about the free space by the station?
We promised to use it before Love Live ended.
Huh? So what do we do, zura?
Did we ask Mari for a place?
Chika-chan?
Let's go find it.
I feel we shouldn't depend as much on them.
It's a new start with us six, after all.
Us six can do it alone.
Isn't that right?
Yep.
I have an idea!
Go ahead You-chan!
How about we visit our new school?
After all, we'll be going there until spring.
N-New school?
It seems that it's pretty far.
In terms of the number of students,
it seems like it's a pretty big school.
Huh? Is there a school around here?
Eh...?
This is the school, zura?
You, are you sure you got it right?
Eh?
But this was the address the school gave us.
Ah! Look!
Branch school?!
What is this?
A part of the school that said they didn't want to be with Uranohoshi.
So we're going to be with them for the time being...
So the Uranohoshi students are going to be using an abandoned primary school.
And apparently there is only one room there.
It doesn't make sense if we move to a closed school, zura.
If the third years graduate,
and Ruby and everyone will be in one room...
Good...?
...morning?
W-Welcome to the i-inferno~
Ahhhhhh!
What is this? We wouldn't be able to study~
Nor do school idol activities.
Ah...
But, why don't they want to be with us?
Aaaahh...
By the way, where is You, zura?
Eh?
Now that you mention it, that's right.
She's not here.
She was sitting there until a moment ago.
I think she answered the phone.
No way...
Eh? Zura?!
Ah!
What's going on?
Eh?!
N-N-Nothing's going on, zura~
It's just my little demon is being very noisy.
P-Pigiiiiii!
Calm down.
What are they hiding?
That's right, what did they see?
Nothing, we didn't see anything.
It's better that they don't see.
That's right, zura.
Why?...
Maybe she found some cute uniforms somewhere?
W-Wait!
A dream?
It must be, a dream, a dream.
Eh?
I-It doesn't seem like a dream...
Apparently not.
The justice of reality.
Yes.
Could it be You-chan's younger brother?
Younger brother?
I thought she didn't have one...
Then, it's...
You's... big demon!?
Ah! She's going to turn around!
N-nya~
Why are we hiding, zura?
Because...
Ah! They're gone.
Eh!?
Do your best...
Hey, don't shove.
They're going to hear us, zura.
Nyaaa~~
Nyaaaa~~
Wow, it was just a kitten.
Ha~ That was close.
For a bit we were almost disc-
Yoshiko-chan~
The number you have dialed is not available at this time.
No, I don't mean that.
Did something happen, You-chan?
Yes, sorry Tsuki-chan.
Tsuki-chan?
Eh? Chika-chan?
Ah that's right, I don't think I've introduced you.
She's my cousin Tsuki-chan.
I'm Tsuki, nice to meet you.
A girl?
What a relief.
Eh?
Eh, so, are you a student at that school?
Yep.
Before we started classes, I invited You-chan to our new school.
But she insisted on going at the same time as Chika-chan.
I said that?
It's not something to be ashamed of.
You're Riko-chan, right?
Yes!
You-chan always mentions you.
She respects you very much.
Ah, it's not that...
It's not something to be ashamed of.
Chika-chan.
Ruby-chan, Hanamaru-chan, Yoshiko-chan.
It seems that You-chan really likes Aqours a lot.
Every time we meet, she talks about you guys a lot.
I always thought
that Aqours is the biggest part of You-chan.
If you pit it that way, I'll be really embarrassed.
As expected of You-chan, zura.
Not like someone with a double personality.
Why are you looking at me?!
So, about that branch school...
Ah...
That's right, why did they do that?
Our school has always taken school clubs very seriously.
Some have even participated in national events.
So?
Yep.
If Uranohoshi merges,
not only will the club atmosphere change,
there will also be conflicts.
Or at least a part of the school thinks that.
No way!
Why do they think that?
I know...
We tried to convince the teachers and students to not worry.
But if the club activities were impacted, we wouldn't be able to take responsibility.
If they mentioned that at the beginning, I don't think there's anything we could have done.
So we were discussing what to do.
A battle royale?
There's no way.
What worries them
is that whether or not they'll get along with Uranohoshi's students and clubs.
So we just have to show them that we also have responsible clubs.
The clubs...
Even if they say to show them ...
These kinds of clubs...
There are.
The only club that has won a national tournament.
Us, from the School Idol club.
We will do our best to not lose against the other clubs.
And we will convince them, you know?
This... This is good!
Right?
Are we going to have a live?
That's fine, in fact, next week there's going to be a good event.
I-I-It's the future, zura!
Eh? Are we really going here?
Are they?... The people who persecuted me in my past life?
Past life?
Those are her old classmates, zura.
We're going to do it for the whole school.
I'm getting nervous.
And to think it's going to be on this big stage, zura.
What are you saying?
The Love Live stage was a hundred times bigger than this...
But back then we were all together...
We still are, even now.
Are we all?
With six people, it's more lonely than I thought...
It's your turn now.
I bought a little more time, do your best!
Yes, for everyone at Uranohoshi.
Yes.
Don't worry, we can do it!
From zero to one
and one by one to something bigger...
Aqours... Sunshine!
And now it's Uranohoshi's turn, who will be merging with our school.
Uranohoshi's school idols "Aqours" will hold a live.
It's started.
It's our first step as the new Aqours.
Formed by us six.
Only us six...
Six people.
We failed.
And to think by a mistake like that.
I don't think it was because our will has diminished...
Somehow, I just can't calm down, zura.
With only us six...
Onee-chan...
Ah, there you are.
Chika!
Mutsu-chan.
How did it go?
Not very good.
They say for now, they want to stay this way.
I guessed that.
I'm sorry, if only we had done well...
It's not your fault.
On the contrary, it's our fault.
Even when the school was closing, we depended on you.
Except for this club, there's really nothing else that makes us proud.
That's because we have few students and we were all in the same department.
The same thing happened with the swimming club.
But, that's why we should have done well.
Here.
Thanks...
Everyone at Uranohoshi understands.
They said, "This old building doesn't matter."
"On the contrary, this is more our style and we'll be fine."
Yes, true true.
It's more our style, hahaha~
Don't eat all of it.
Just us six...
It seems like it's been a while since we last talked like this.
Are you still worried?
It's not that...
The school idol club is often misunderstood
in comparison to other clubs.
When smiling on stage, you can't always feel our tiredness.
Even though its fun, and it looks as if we're playing,
It can be...
as hard as it might be to sing and dance, no matter how worried you are,
the audience is happy and you can't deny it's just like other clubs.
We're going to show them that we're not going to give up.
Show them that Uranohoshi is always working hard.
As school idols, we won't lose against them.
I already know that.
How are we going to continue with only six members?
When Mari-chan asked "will you continue as six?",
I thought, "That's the way it should be."
Well, I have the spirit to continue.
I get nervous knowing that we're only going to be six.
From the moment I stepped on that stage I realized that
the third years are no longer here.
What does a new Aqours mean?
An Aqours without 3 people.
Aqours will...
What are you going to do now?
If we continue like this, they will misunderstand us even more.
But...
We can recover from our failure.
We still have time.
You think so?
Yes.
This time, we're going to show we can do it.
A live?
Maybe we'll find how to move forward.
Although we're unsure.
We must participate in Love Live!
This is not like the usual Riko-chan.
There are also the first years, I guess someone hit me.
Who?
Eh?
And you are like the typical Chika-chan.
I don't think we're done yet.
But if we win...
But still, we cannot.
True, we still cannot.
You seem happy.
You too.
Yes, I think this how we really are.
There are still many things to do.
Let's run!
It's dazzling, zura.
We're almost at the end!
Eh?
1, 2, 3, 4...
2, 2, 3, 4..
So, where are we going to practice?
We looked all over but couldn't find a place.
We have to do it here, there's nowhere else.
Here?
It feels like where we started.
Where we started?
Zura?
Nowhere to rehearse, no clubroom, and no name.
When we were discussing that, we practiced here.
That's when we came across the name Aqours.
It's been a while!
Eh? Zura? Pigiiii!
Leah-chan!
Saint Snow!
What are you guys doing here?
I sent a message to them to come see us practice.
Seriously... right during Sarah's graduation trip.
Don't call us over and over.
Sorry~
No problem, Leah wanted to come too.
Nee-sama!
Then, we can start if you like, so you can see our performance.
Go ahead.
I see.
How was it?
I'll be honest, after being called all the way here for that,
If we compare this performance with the one during Love Live...
Right now, you guys are only giving 30%, no, 20%, of your potential.
Really?
Not even half?
Not just that, the presence of the third years made a big difference.
Kanan Matsuura's rhythm and dance.
Mari Ohara's voice.
And Dia Kurosawa's elegance.
That's what brought brightness and joy to Aqours.
And by losing that, your hearts are lost in insecurity.
Like something fluffy that can't be fixed.
We are terribly embarrassed.
But, how...?
That's something the people you ask won't know!
It's all on yourselves!
Leah-chan...
Nee-sama and everyone else won't be there!
Excuse us.
Is Leah-chan going to start a new school idol group?
Apparently yes, but it's not going well.
She was recruiting members to start the group, but it's not going well.
But with her personality...
Is the practice rigorous? / Yes, it's for Love Live. / Sorry. /
You of all people saying that?
Can we start tomorrow? / Sorry / Give me some time to think about it.
You're so annyoing!
We're sorry.
You've been doing your best by yourself, and we...
Love Live isn't a game.
W-What is that?
I think I've seen it before...
Ma... Ma... Ma...
It's Mari-chan!
Zura?!
It's not Mari-chan?
Thank you for always taking care of my daughter.
I'm Mari Ohara's mother, Mari's mother-desu
You can't contact her?
That's right!
I've heard a lot about you from Mari.
Thank you for all you have done for her.
And you, Ruby-chan?
I decided to not say anything so they would enjoy their trip.
I can't contact the "hagu", "desu wa," and my daughter.
"Hagu" and "desu wa"?
She definitely means Kanan-chan and Dia-chan.
I'm sure that you will be able to find them.
What is that?
Ow.
Are you going to give us all this money to find them?
It's chocolate, zura.
This action was necessary.
But if you really find them, I will be glad to give you this.
Yes, leave it to us.
With fallen angel Yohane's eyes, finding them will be a piece of cake.
Did the money blind you, zura?
What are you saying?!
It's to find inspiration for the next live.
The next live?
That's right, we have a live.
But they are missing, right?
I can't deny that we're worried.
But what are we going to do?
They should go and look for them.
Since watching them rehearse, I thought,
"It would be very useful to talk with the third years"
But...
To take your first step,
Sometimes looking back is not a bad thing.
Chika-chan.
Sarah-san is right.
We can practice anywhere, and we've come a long way.
Don't worry. We'll make it!
Let's go then!
Oh, very very thank you-desu
And where did Mari and the third years go on their graduation trip?
To the Northern Lands? Or the secret Southern Lands?
About that...
That?
The place those three went
is where the Ohara family is from.
Then you mean...
Don't tell me...
Here! *Italy*
Yohane eye!
In an unknown land...
Yohane descends!
We've arrived!
Pistachio ice cream, zura!
So fast!
Chocolate ice cream, zura!
Do you want a bite, Yoshiko-chan?
Of cours-
But I have a bad memory about that...
But I'll eat it!
Could you contact them?
Onee-chan hasn't sent me anything.
There's no signs of Kanan-chan or Mari-chan.
They've only sent me one picture.
"Here we are," they said.
We just have to go to the place in the photo.
This place is near here!
Do you know that place?
Yes
Tsuki-chan lived in Italy as a child, so she's very familiar.
I can be your guide, feel free to ask me any questions.
Let's Yousoro!
Hey! That's my line!
Wow! Wherever you go, there's shade.
The city is full of canals.
That's why you can't get around by car.
How interesting.
I feel like I could get lost here.
Here it is!
Hanamaru-chan!
There, there~
This is it!
This is the place, but...
The phone is ringing.
Tsuki-chan?
Popolo...
Eh?
They are in a building near Popolo...
Don't you think this is suspicious?
Don't tell me it was the...
Be quiet and walk, zura.
Is it around here?
I think so.
What is that?
Amazing!
It's as if we traveled back to the Middle Ages!
They should be at the top of this building.
Ah, Onee-chan!
Mari-chan! Kanan-chan!
What a relief.
*MISSING: Mari, desu wa, hagu.
Onee-chan...
Onee-chan!!!!!
I'm glad you got here from so far away.
Is that...
I'm relieved,
you three are together.
Of course, we always were.
Why are you guys "missing"?
Mis...?
Missing?!
Just as I thought...
With that missing...
What did Mari's mom say?
Not much.
She only said that you were missing and that she was worried.
Who's that over there?
Nice to meet you!
I'm Watanabe Tsuki.
You-chan's cousin.
Youroshiku~
Oh, very pretty~!
As expected
of You-chan's cousin
These stairs...
are too much-zura.
Hanamaru-chan?!
Good job.
But if you guys don't know anything, that means...
She's only using them to find us.
Using us?
If you find us, she'll be able to contact us...
So she took advantage of that.
She wants to trap us with this!
Eh?!
So you guys aren't missing?
We can't stay here any longer...
You... sorry!
A uniform!
No! Don't!
I can't do it, zura.
As expected of You-chan's cousin.
Wait up!
Forgive us!
We'll explain later!
Are they trying to escape from Mari's mother, zura?
Onee-chan...
Let's follow them.
We can't, we don't know where they went.
But...
This is...
When you look upon Yohane's protected land...
the fairies will guide you to the right place.
Yohane?
No,
it refers to the place Yohane protects.
Is there such a place?
There is, the guardian angel Giovanni, Yohane's territory.
We're going to meet there.
Do you really plan to keep running?
You don't want to?
I never said I didn't want to.
I like it.
It reminds me of the time we spent with Mari when we were younger.
It seems like you've lost your dignified aura, Mari-san.
Let's go!~
This is
not bad at all.
Should we go over there?
(Oh no!)
Should we go over here?
(Oh no!)
Which way should we go to?
We don-don-don-don't know!
We always want to live with this freedom
Oh yeah! We just noticed it
So come on, should we run away?
Yes we should do it!
Don't try to stop us now Bye-bye
While we're running around, thinking without a care
Sweaty and impatient Oh, man it's too hot
If we break out our voice, they surely could find us
The shape of our lips should give it right away
Going up, down, and up again
(this looks like a maze)
Crossing here, turning there and again
(we are running away)
I think I ran too much and it's getting painful
Why are we all laughing? We cannot stop it now
That is why even if I'm the one who's being chased
Even if you really are chasing me
Going around and around, we are drawing a full circle
Even though I don't want to be caught, I sure look like I want it
This has slowly came to be fun so Runaway Forever!?
We want to live with more of this freedom
Oh yeah We just noticed it
So come on, should we run away? Yes we should do it!
Don't try to stop us now Bye-bye
We're here~
What a welcoming place.
Is this another one of the Ohara family's houses?
That's how rich people are.
Yes, or that's I would like to say.
The truth is that I borrowed it from an acquaintance.
Although I think the Ohara family has one nearby...
Tee hee~
And she'll think that we're there.
Those girls...
You made it so that Chika and the girls would find that,
discover where you are, and be confused, right?
Yes~
So she would think that I went to a different city and that way,
she would start searching each of the Ohara family's houses.
To save time, right?
And what about Chika and the others?
If they can decipher the message, they'll know where we are.
But...
They were really sent by Mari's mom.
And still when we left, they said they would start a new Aqours...
Sooner or later, they'll decide.
Maybe...
They have something to tell us.
We've arrived.
What do we do now?
Let's look for something to eat, zura.
Alright!
What does that mean?
It means, "how delicious, zura".
And to think that we got here because of that message.
Where could they be now?
I'm hoping that we'll know how to contact them.
I wonder if they'll come.
Receive anything?
Nothing yet, I guess to avoid suspicion
from Mari's mom, they haven't called.
I guess so...
Thanks for waiting.
What is this?
Bistec a la Violetina~
It's a famous dish here.
Thank you for the food, zura.
Yoshiko-chan, you should... eh?
Yoshiko-chan?
Yoshiko-chan?~
Yohane-chan!
Missing?
That fallen angel...
What are we going to do if she runs off on her own?
Maybe she's still here.
If I were her...
Yohane.
Eh?
She's been muttering "Yohane" this entire time.
She's always like this.
It's huge!
What is this place? Amazing!
Duomo
Dumo-o?
It's the most popular building in the city.
Amazing! And to think that such a large building is in the city.
Before that, where is that fallen angel!?
Not here, huh.
Looking for someone?
That's right...
Someone around my age,
around the same height,
and is always very noisy.
A girl that calls herself a "fallen angel", zura.
I see. She must be someone worthy of respect.
Eh?!
Yoshiko-chan!
What are you doing, zura?
I'm not Yoshiko, It's Yohane!
We were seriously worried about you.
What are you doing in that outfit? They're gonna catch you like that.
Calm down, my dear Riri.
I am calm, and I prohibited you from calling me Riri!
In this moment, I am not the fallen angel Yohane,
I'm the guardian angel Yohane, and I will become the guardian angel of this place!
Aqours has all sorts of personalities, huh?
This is why we were worried.
Now follow me to the roof of that building.
To the roof?
It's the dome, the top of the Duomo.
Today is the final day to visit,
so go ahead and take one, please.
Did you have money?
But those are just tickets.
Definitely not angelic at all.
Giran~
Wherever you look, you can see the color red.
In Japan, there are hardly any views like this of the city.
The view's been like this for hundreds of years.
Those stairs were very long, zura.
Since the buildings are this old, they don't have elevators.
Feel this breeze of blessings and good fortune that the fairies granted me.
A sign from the fairies?
What's going on?
It seems that they are greeting us...
This is what she meant by, "the fairies will guide you to the right place!"
That light is... onee-chan!
It's really here?
Good evening!
Shhhh...
Welcome.
Were you able to decipher the message?
No problem, we managed to get here.
Onee-chan!
I didn't think they would make it here.
Has my mom contacted you?
No, not at all.
What happened to your mom?
It's complicated...
We've come all this way, tell us Mari-chan.
Certainly, I feel bad for Chika. We shouldn't hide things any longer.
But...
The truth is, Mari is getting married.
Are you going to fight someone?
That was "keto".
Literally.
A masterpiece?
That's "kessaku".
I'm interested in that masterpiece, zura.
This is your final one.
A spiritual barrier?
I said getting married.
You're getting married?
When did that happen?
With whom? With whom?! Who??!!
Wait, I won't do it.
Kanan, don't say such nonsense.
But at this rate, it's going to happen.
That's why we're running away.
I don't get it, what's going on?
She means she has a arrangement with someone.
And on top of that, it's with someone I've never met.
But why?
To take away Mari's freedom.
We've never really gotten along with Mari's mom.
When we met her, the obedient Mari was beginning to leave on her own.
She even returned to Uranohoshi and managed to be the director.
She also doesn't like the idea of school idols.
So that's why.
So this graduation trip is also...?
I did it without her permission to tell her that I'm not the same as before.
"If you do not give me freedom, I will not return."
But if you planned everything...
I didn't think she would chase us here.
End this storm, everyone fill your hearts with peace.
What are you doing now, zura?
This is the wish of the angel Yoha-
Yoshiko-chan? Are you all right?
What a relief.
Now you really are a fallen angel.
What are you saying? Come help me!
At last, she's returned to normal.
The fallen angel returns! Suchan~
Your normal state itself was already a problem.
Silence! My little demon Riri!
Calling me Riri is prohibited!
Anyways, we have to discuss what to do now, since Chika and the others are now involved.
That's right, huh.
Mama?
Was hiding here "hagu"'s idea?
You're wrong, it was my idea, but it's because you're annoying.
You're the annoying one.
Everything you did in primary school, at home, and leaving school to return to Uranohoshi,
that was all because your father approved of it.
But the result of those actions is what here is now.
You don't get it? Nothing good came of it at all.
Because of the school's closure, Mari missed the opportunity to graduate overseas.
Wait. But you did approve of school idols.
All of us won Love Live together.
So what? What's so special about school idols?
It's ridiculous.
Ridiculous...
It's because I met them.
That's why we show Mari the outside world.
Shut up! I will take care of Mari's decisions-
It's not ridiculous!
Mari...
School idols... aren't something to make fun of!
If I show you that school idols are nothing but wonderful, would you let me do what I want?
If I can move people as a school idol, will you accept me as I am?
Cancel the arrangement
and accept our freedom.
Very well.
Mama...
However, if you don't do it, you will do what I tell you.
Leah?
Chika-san called and said they were gonna do a live-
Leah-san, I understand your feelings about school idols. / Yes. / But I don't think I can take any more. I get it. / It's very difficult for me, and even if I make an effort, I'll cause you problems. / So I'm going to quit.
Nee-sama, I ask you, please turn off the lights.
Leah...
Buongiorno!
Good evening is "buonasera".
Delicious, zura.
How can you eat all this by yourself?
Are you even a human?
This lasagna is delicious, zura!
It's good!
Have you decided?
Huh? What was it?
The place where we're going to sing!
It was so fun visiting "Fontana di Trevi"! The Mouth of Truth.
Certainly, being with everyone is very exciting!~
What are you saying? It was your idea!
I know, I know.
Any place is beautiful, and anywhere we sing, it will be full of people.
The fountain and the stairs were pretty.
We could use that entire place.
Using everything is a bit...
How about the Colosseum?
I'll take care of the recording.
I think it's great.
Yes, there seems to be lots of people too.
Alright, it's decided.
Yes
Wait, listen to our opinion, zura.
Us first years haven't been able to say anything.
For this live, we want to be able to choose the stage.
We've always been depending on you guys.
So please, let us take care of this live.
I'm so full.
You have to get that down before you get on stage.
Good night, zura~
Why does this only happen to me?!
Sorry about everything.
This was all because Mari said all that.
The phrase is "sell word by word".
To return your own words?*
*Japanese proverb, to exchange of words in an angry way.
I suppose.
If we have the help, us three could take care of it
But you guys...
No, it's all good.
On the contrary, we're happy to help you.
Really?
In fact, we didn't come just because of Mari's mom,
we were also worried about you.
And for "what does a new Aqours mean?"
A new Aqours?
Only we can find the answer, but it's not so easy.
So Sarah-san advised us to go find and talk to you.
I see.
Kanan-chan, what do you think?
I agree with what you've said.
Only you can find that answer.
It won't make sense if you ask us.
Right...
Even so...
But those feelings will always remain there,
Mari's, Dia's, and my feelings will always be the same.
Always?
Yep, always.
Come on, tomorrow we have to wake up early, so go to sleep.
Good night.
Chika-chan.
I think I managed to see the answer, just a little.
In the end, where is it gonna be, zura?
With Yohane's eyes...
Actually, we already decided the place.
Nonstop nonstop the music
Nonstop nonstop the hopping heart
Why is it we seem too small maybe it's just us
But, but
Somehow, somehow it's a lot the things we've came through though
This looks like out of a dream
The things that I've never could have done
Alone used to be impossible but
With the power we've garnered together
They have become fun
Yes!
For us the future is ahead of the present
We have to get tightly a hold of ourselves
And then with our wings of freedom we will have to Fly away!!
Thrilled and full of joy let's all do it
If we dance we will come as one around the world
Come on! Come on! Come on!
Let's get together
Thrilled and full of emotion you should do it
Let your heart dance along and connect with everyone
This is something lovely we'll never stop doing
Yeah, right?
Yes, it is!
Everyone here we love you
The times I put my words into a song like this
I pour all my feelings on it don't ever forget it!
Thrilled and full of joy let's all do it
If we dance we will come as one around the world
Come on! Come on! Come on!
Let's get together
Thrilled and full of emotion you should do it
Let your heart dance along and connect with everyone
This is something lovely we'll never stop doing
Yeah, that's right!
Nonstop nonstop the music
Nonstop nonstop the hopping heart
Onee-chan...
Ruby, you're able to achieve anything you want, really.
But, why at the Spanish Steps?
It was a hunch
It looked like the stairs in Numazu, zura.
Mari...
Mama
Everything I've done with them was on my own,
as you and dad helped me grow, Aqours did too.
There isn't anything I can't achieve.
This is how I am now.
How did it go?
Who knows.
But I think I already know the answer.
Yohane... returned!
Hey, wait for me!
There's no one here, zura.
Mutsu-chan said that they were here but...
Welcome back!
Sorry for asking you guys to help with the live.
No problem, everyone was glad to join in.
In fact, we already have the sketch of the stage.
Really?
Look and be surprised!
What do you think?
Wow!
But to create a stage like that,
it'll take a lot of time, we might not make it.
We think so too, but
by talking with everyone, we decided to create an amazing stage for Aqours
to show that Uranohoshi can do it.
Although we don't have enough people for it...
Hi, nice to meet you.
I asked around my school and it seems like there are people who aren't against it
and support it, even if it's only a few.
As expected of the student council president!
Thank you...
Ah!
Are you, by chance, Yohane-chan?
You're mistaken!
We went to middle school together.
We always watch you online.
Yohane... descend!
At last there's someone who supports you and you run... I won't let you~
How annoying!
Yohane-chan says she wants to take a picture...
What are you saying?
Really?
We have to take one!
Wait!
You will not escape.
Do your best, zura~
How cruel... The little demon's revenge...
Thank you so much, we'll treasure it!
I'll send you the picture, give me your ID
Thank you, I'm counting on you.
All right. Let's do it!
The only difference is that Mari-chan and the others aren't here anymore...
We can do it.
We'll make it!
Ruby-chan...
I think can do it too!
You too?
Yep.
We must all do our best.
What about our souvenirs?
Ah... I forgot.
And to think the situation with the new school is like this...
They should have talked things through from the start.
We could have helped.
Well...
They decided to take care of it themselves.
What's going on?
How boring, there's nothing to do.
It can't be helped, we've graduated.
Chika asked us to watch their live.
I know.
This is...
Come on, get along and calm down,
Chika's doing her best.
Sit down.
Sit!
Sit down!
At least listen to me!
Looks like you're doing well...
Oh, sorry.
I think I already know what we're gonna do starting from now on.
About the new Aqours?
I always thought that everything should start from zero.
Is it not like that?
No, starting from zero means that everything we've done so far has been lost.
And that's not how it is.
Everything we've ever done is still here, nothing has disappeared.
And if I think like that, I know I can do it.
Writing letters looks fun.
Write a good song.
Of course, I've been studying music every day.
I was listening to musical pieces in Italy.
I didn't know.
It's not just us.
Ruby and Hanamaru were looking for materials for the costumes,
You and Yoshiko have been working on a new choreography.
I see. Aqours really is incredible.
"How nice it is to have a leader like you."
Great, right?
Chika-chan!
What's going on?
Phone call from Kanan-chan.
What's up?
Ah, the battery died...
Eh?
Leah-chan plans to join Aqours?!
Is she planning on transferring?
Yes.
If she does the paperwork in spring, she can stay with you guys in a familiar environment.
Leah-chan decided that?
No, it seems she doesn't know yet.
Sarah thinks that's what's best for her.
She asked for our opinion as graduates.
We accept what she proposed, but your opinions also matter.
Leah-chan... joining Aqours?
That would be quite unexpected...
What happened with that step? Love Live isn't a game!
Yoshiko!...
It's not Yoshiko! It's Yohane!
What are you imagining, zura?
What do you all think?
It's not a bad idea, we haven't decided how many members Aqours will have.
Leah-chan is also someone who strives for Love Live.
It's fine, but it would be a pain.
She could teach you a lot of things, zura.
Except that...
We can't do it...
Leah-chan wouldn't want that.
Joining Aqours wouldn't solve her worries.
Why do you think so?
She decided to end Saint Snow and start a new group
because she treasures the moments with her sister as Saint Snow.
And I don't think Aqours is the solution.
I understood after being with Onee-chan in Italy,
it's not like they're not there, even when they're not present, we are still together.
Together?
She hasn't realized it yet.
"What do I do without Sarah?"
"I won't be able to create another group like Saint Snow"
"I have to fulfill Sarah's dream and win Love Live, otherwise I won't forgive myself"
I think you understand Leah-chan's feelings best, you're in the same situation.
Ruby-chan is right.
If so, what should we do?
I agree, I think we should show her.
Show her that Sarah will always be by her side.
Make Leah-chan's greatest dream come true.
Her dream. Yes, her dream!
It seems we all share the same opinion.
Make the dream she couldn't achieve come true!
We'll make it come true, together!
We have to let Sarah-san know.
Sorry. / Are you going to leave the group? / Yes, I can't do it anymore. / I understand, thank you very much. / I hope you do well, I'm rooting for you.
Nee-sama's precious dream.
I destroyed it...
Nee-sama...
Nee-sama!...
I can't believe Saint Snow lost if they were the favorites to win.
You never know what happnes.
Leah!
Nee-sama.
Why are you wearing that outfit?
Broadcasting a special presentation
of the 2 Love Live finalists
Unbelievable, how lively.
I feel like I'm going to lose against her.
On one hand we have Uranohoshi's Aqours: novices but with top skills,
and on the other hand, we have the superstars Saint Snow!
We are going to perform at the Love Live finals...
Do you remember that we decided to perform this if we made it to the finals?
Nee-sama...
If we had made it to the final stage and competed against Aqours, I would have done it right by your side.
Nee-sama...
Now's not the time to cry.
Leah-chan, let's move forward together.
You can't give up.
Thanks to you, Hanamaru-chan, Yoshiko-chan, and I continue to do our best.
Love Live isn't a game!
Let's sing.
Yes.
Together on stage against Aqours!
I know I won't ever be alone in my dreams Go!!
While you are lost Ready? Go!
Finally you've started to see?
That light that will never disappear inside you
(That's right!)
No matter where you go because, those wings that you have that are called hope so Fly high
If you ask to be given strength
Be prepared to be given also weakness
(My fault!)
We have no time to waste, Our dreams may escape our reach
So, it's time to be reborn!
Let's turn into something new, push away our old selfs, let's keep on
Do we can? Yes we do! Let's dash to a new place!
I want to dance some more
Let's dance (yeah!) dance (yeah!) We won't stop to Dance!!
Believe again
While I hold tightly to everything I have
Believe again
Everything will start again
(Shout my song!)
This is serious, I want to tell you this thing I want to do
No matter when with this passion we sure will be free
Believe again
Everything will start again (Yeah) Yeah!! (Yeah)
Ah, this adventure won't stop Let's go!
3, 2, 1, Go!
I'll never forget this moment.
My memories of Saint Snow, of us together, will never disappear.
No matter how long, they'll always be in your heart.
So you don't have to chase it forever, I just wanted to tell you that.
Nee-sama...
Being a school idol is so fun.
But this time will be the last time.
Let's show our feelings for the final time!
Incredible.
School idols really are amazing,
It's a shame that we can only see this.
Chika-chan?
I got it, the new Aqours will be...
Before we knew it
We've come so far
Ah, the sky is as blue as ever
Our desire to obtain something
When we had nothing
Ah, is that what paved the way for us?
I learned that a miracle would happen
*Specially made by Mari.
I wish I could tell that to ourselves back then
In times when we want to throw it all away, and times we have to make big changes
Surely the chances will be there, They were there
Our hearts shake in hesitation, yet face ahead
No rain lasts forever, We ran all the way here
If we just look up, there will be the warm sun
You can't search for a miracle without moving, Even if you take a break never stop
In the dawning night sky...is the warm sun!
On second thought, this is the first time we've built our own stage.
That's true.
It's perfect for a fresh start.
With this, there's only a little more to finish.
It seems that you're having fun.
Yes, it's an honor to create this stage.
It's what Uranohoshi can accomplish.
We're gonna sing on this stage.
I can't wait.
I'm not... nervous, zura.
It's true. Why?
Maybe we matured a little.
Us?
Yep!
You guys can leave early, leave the rest to us.
Rest well and put on a great performance!
But...
Don't worry, there's still lots of people that support us, isn't that right?
Today's the day.
After all, the Holy War can't be avoided...
Calm down, zura.
Tsuki-chan, what's up?
They gathered to watch the video of your live,
and we thought there's nothing you can't do.
So you guys aren't at odds with us?
We realized why we do club activities.
Why?
Because it's fun.
We realized how fun school idols were,
and we thought we should take it seriously.
Because of Aqours and Saint Snow's performances, we realized. Thank you.
That's right, we're going to support them.
So don't worry.
Let's help you out.
What do you think?
Hmm
Then we'll leave it to them.
What should we do? Practice a little?
That's fine, but...
You're worried, huh
How long will Mari-chan and the others stay?
Be safe and keep moving forward.
Everyone's done what they should have.
Ciao~
Onee-chan.
I guess that's how it should be.
Before that, let's go together one last time.
Us nine.
They removed that bus stop.
When the school closed, there was nobody to use it.
If we continue to take our time, it'll get dark.
What a nostalgic feeling.
And graduation was just a little while ago.
It's the path that we took every day.
If we don't go, we'll miss this place.
We really had so much here.
Every day was so animated.
More noisy than animated, I would say.
You have no right to say that, zura.
What do you mean? You're all noisy too.
But it was fun.
Why did we come here?
The school may have called us.
After seeing it, I feel more at ease.
It's open...
Don't worry, we won't lose it.
Uranohoshi, this path, the ground, the library, the roof,
the clubroom, the ocean, the sand, the bus stop,
the sun, the boats, the sky, the mountain, the city,
and Aqours as well.
Let's go back.
It'll remain here, everything.
There is no zero,
all of this will be with us forever, as a part of us.
The beginning isn't always at zero.
We'll start step by step, slowly advancing.
And even if we go back to zero...
we'll continue to move forward.
We'll find a way, we'll believe in that.
Although reality is hard.
We'll always be able to make our dreams come true.
It's a pity that we've returned to zero.
Within us, there are many things that we treasure,
and that's something that will never change.
It will fly through the blue sky, over the rainbow.
We can also do it too!
Hello everyone
Aqours will be having a live! Please stop by and watch!
We are Uranohoshi's school idols, Aqours!
We will be having our live here at the south port.
Please come see the new Aqours! Thank you.
Let's sing with all our strength.
Let's do it for everyone,
with all our emotions,
Let's make this song ring out!
Our opening song!
One!
Two!
Three!
Four!
Five!
Six!
Seven!
Eight!
Nine!
Did you hear?
From one we will advance, together towards our future!
Aqours!... Sunshine!
All of these memories are important and always will be
This wonderful thing is our one and only precious gift
No matter how far it is
I'm sure you can see this beautiful scenery
Inside your heart, because deep down are your feelings
I want to see even if it's this once
Closing your eyes and together
We can all hear that song
Where should we be heading to? Let's go together!
We will not forget, we're sure we won't as long as we have dreams
There's someone we all want to become someday
We will not forget, never forget what it means to believe
Surely after tomorrow, I will be closer to my dreams
Even if I was alone, I always felt the same way and that made me think
That this feeling was a cherishble and made me not let it go
This bond, this wonderful story that will never disappear
All the things I've been able to achieve
Are amazing! Thank you my friends
I want to finally see it
Do you get it? I want to call everyone here
With this song that we always hear
There's a long way to go, let's go together!
It will never stop, I'm sure it won't this warm throb
You and I will always be connected from this point onwards
It will never stop, I'm sure it won't get even more warm
Let's go on as our hands will reach for that new glow
Even though I'm still a novice at the moment
We will have to keep going, that's the thing we're going to do in the future!!
We will not forget, we're sure we won't as long as we have dreams
There's someone we all want to become someday
We will not forget, never forget what it means to believe
Surely after tomorrow, I will be closer to my dreams
It will never stop, I'm sure it won't this warm throb
You and I will always be connected from this point onwards
It will never stop, I'm sure it won't get even more warm
Let's go on as our hands will reach for that new glow
Hurry up! Wait up!
We're here!
I used to bathe in the sea as a child.
Why are we here?
We are in the Holy Land. The Holy Land!
Holy Land?
Did you not see the live that was just in Numazu?
I'm going to be a school idol in high school!
There she goes again.
They all shone so much... I want to shine too!
There's no way around it with you.
And what was the name of that group?
Their name was...
Aqours!
Sunshine!
