[CHIKA] Cool!
Did you see how high it flew?
[YOU] All right, it's your turn, Chika,
[CHIKA] Okay!
Prepare to be amazed!
Go!
Aw,,, I thought it would at least go
a little higher than that,
[YOU] You should try again! Give it one more shot,
[CHIKA laughs] 'Kay!
[CHIKA grunts]
Uh,,, Is this yours?
[CHIKA] Yep! It's neat, right?
[RIKO laughs]
[RIKO] Think you can fly it higher?
[YOU] Of course! Way higher!
I'll fly it past the rainbow!
[GIRLS laugh]
[applause]
[YOU] Great job!
Once more, 'kay?
Here in this school,
let's dance with everyone from Aqours,
But first, we've got something to say to Chika,
And everyone here,
Something to say?
--What's up? --Zura?
[MARI] That's right!
About our future as third years,
And not just about us, but also the future of Aqours!
[CHIKA] The future,,,
[inhales]
[exhales]
[YOU] Have they left?
Yeah,
Guess we should get back so we can practice, huh?
That's right, It'll be tough to continue
with just the six of us, but we can't afford to slouch,
[RUBY] Of course, we've got to do out Rubesty!
It was unanimous after all!
Time to be motivated, zura!
Yep!
[HANAMARU] This isn't the time for your fallen angel nonsense,
[YOSHIKO] Don't call it nonsense!
[RUBY chuckles nervously]
[RUBY gasps]
[HANAMARU] What's wrong?
Oh, it's just,,,
Where are we gonna practice?
[CHIKA] That's a weird question, At the school!
Uh! That's right,
I guess we can't go there anymore,
[RIKO] The space in front of the station?
[YOU] We agreed we'd only use it until the Love Live competition,
Ah, So, what are we gonna do?
We could always ask Mari,
She probably knows a place we could use,
[CHIKA grunts]
[gasps] Something up?
No, we shouldn't ask her,
[GIRLS] Huh?
[CHIKA] I feel like things won't work out if we rely on others,
There are only six of us here now,
We have to learn to solve our own problems,
You know?
[laughs]
[GIRLS laugh]
Right!
Excuse me!
Yes? Proceed!
I vote that we all go check out the new school campus,
Since we'll be starting there soon,
I suppose,,, we could,,,
[CHIKA] It's so far away,
[RIKO] Judging by the number of students,
I bet it's a rather large school,
Huh? Weird,
Is there really a school way out here?
[CHIKA] What?
So, this is rustic,
You! Are you sure it's the right address?
Yeah! See?
It's right here in the message that the school sent us earlier,
"Uranohoshi students must gather here,,,"
[HANAMARU] Is this real life, zura?
[YOSHIKO] Hey, ow, ow, ow!
[screams]
[RUBY] Look!
[GIRLS] Branch school?!
What the heck?!
It kind of seems like the main school doesn't want to be
associated with the students from Uranohoshi,
Yeah, that's what I heard,
so it's being run as a branch school,
at least for the time being,
The building you saw earlier is actually an old primary school
that they're borrowing because it was no longer in use,
It's the "new" campus for the Uranohoshi girls,
I get restructurin', but what's the point of bein' transferred
to a school that's closin' down, zura?
What happens when the middle schoolers graduate?
Will they be in the same building?
That sounds like it'd be a tight squeeze!
[RUBY] ♪ La, la, la,,, ♪
Good morning, everyone!
Uh,,,
[YOSHIKO grunts] Welcome to the Hell Zone,
[RUBY screams]
[CHIKA grunts] Yeah, no thanks,
That sounds kinda terrible,
Practicing for Love Live would be hard,
Ahh,
But I wonder why we can't just use the main campus?
Huh? Hold on,
Where'd You run off to, zura?
[ALL] Hm?
Huh?! Yeah, where is she?
Uh, not here,
[MUTSU] She was sitting right over there,
but I think she got a phone call or something,
[YOSHIKO gasps]
No way,
[HANAMARU gasping] Zura?
[gasping]
What's up?
[RUBY yelps]
Uh, there's nothin' to see here, zura,
Indeed! The little demons were making a ruckus,
[MUTSU] That was weird,
What are you girls hiding?
Tell us, What did you see?
Um, nothing! Boring old nothingness!
You don't wanna know,
Trust us, zura,
[ALL gulp]
Know what?
[ALL grunting]
[CHIKA] Oh, that You!
She's probably off shopping for some cute outfits for us!
[TRIO] Wait! No! Come back!
[RIKO laughing]
[RIKO] Uh,
[RIKO] Huh?
[inaudible]
[YOU laughs]
What the,,,?
I gotta be dreaming, No way,
[BOTH] Uhh,,,
Yeah, a dream, It has to be,
Uh-huh,
--[YOSHIKO grunts] --[RIKO, CHIKA gasp]
No, that guy is real,
[BOTH] Right,
Maybe he's her brother or somethin', zura?
You think that's it?
I've known You for quite a while,
I think I would know if she had a brother,
[RIKO] Does that mean,,,
[YOSHIKO] That boy is,,, her big demon?
[CHIKA] Quick, scatter!
Um, meow?
Why the heck are we hidin'?
Well, because,,,!
Shhh!
[RUBY] Ah! She's gone,
--[CHIKA grunts] --[YOSHIKO] Huh?!
[CHIKA yells]
[ALL] See ya later,
Hey, back up off of me!
[HANAMARU] She'll hear us, zura,
[GIRLS gasp]
[YOSHIKO] Meow,,,!
--[TSUKI grunts] --[YOU] Hmm,,,
[GIRLS] Sneak,,,
[YOSHIKO] Meow,
Oh, good, It was just a cat,
[YOSHIKO grunts]
[GIRLS gasp]
[sighs] That was a close one,
She almost saw us that time, huh?
Yoshiko, hi!
[sputtering]
[YOSHIKO] I'm sorry, but I'm not available right now,
Please leave a message after the beep!
[YOU] You know I can see you, right?
[TSUKI] What's going on, You?
I'm sorry, Tsuki,
[RIKO, CHIKA] Tsuki?
[RUBY, HANAMARU] Who?
[YOU] Whoa, Chika?
Uh, right, I guess I never introduced you,
Everyone, this is my cousin, Tsuki,
That's me!
Ahoy!
Hold the phone,
He's a she?
[GIRLS groan]
[YOU] Huh?
[CHIKA grunts] You go to school at the main campus?
[TSUKI] Mm-hm! Sure do! Back before I even
registered there, I had actually asked You to apply with me,
But she turned me down, said she wanted to go
to the same high school as Chika,
Huh? You sure I said that?
No need to be embarrassed,
[TSUKI] Oh, you must be Riko!
Yes?
You talks about you constantly, She looks up to you,
U-Uh, For real?
No need to be embarrassed,
[GIRLS laugh]
[TSUKI] Chika, Ruby, Hanamaru, and Yoshiko,
You loves Aqours so much, so it's no surprise that she talked
about you whenever we had the chance to meet up,
I always got the feeling that being in Aqours
is something that's pretty important to you, huh?
[YOU] Okay, well now I can't help
but feel a little embarrassed,
That's the You we know and love,
Always so up front with her emotions,
Why am I feeling attacked right now?
So, do you know about the branch school?
Ahh,,,
Tsuki? Can you tell us what happened?
[TSUKI] Well, here's the thing,
Our school's known for club activities,
And some clubs have even got to compete at a national level,
[CHIKA] Hm? Okay?
When we combined with Uranohoshi,
some thought the clubs might get
watered down because of the extra students,
And our parents were afraid it would cause trouble,
For real?
That's like the dumbest thing I've ever heard!
[TSUKI] I know, right?
The students and teachers tried to tell our parents
that everything would be fine,
but they asked what we'd do if the clubs
happened to fail and if we'd take responsibility,
There's not much you can do in that situation,
It sounds tough no matter what,
[YOU grunts]
And that's why we were trying
to figure out how we should approach it,
All-out war,
Yeah, I highly doubt that,
We need to address their concerns,
They're worried about clubs and whether or not
the Uranohoshi students will be active participants in them,
[TSUKI] So, we just need to prove to them that your school
has its own club achievements,
[RUBY] Do we, though?
[HANAMARU] That's a tall order to fill,
[CHIKA] A club that's done super well?
[gasps] We do have one,
I heard it won a national competition recently, right?
Uh, Huh?
[YOU] Don't forget, our school idol club is considered
top notch, even by our new school's standards,
We'll show them just how active we are,
Once they see us, they won't have a choice,
I'm sure they'll change their minds!
Yeah, Great idea!
[YOU] I know!
So, we're doing a live?
And I know just the date!
Our school has an event coming up next week
that would be perfect for it!
[HANAMARU] It's,,, It's,,,
It's the future, zura!
[RUBY whimpers] Do we really have to go into that big school?
So funny, right?
Oh great! Old foes,
They've come from the past to haunt me!
Old foes?
I think she means her classmates from middle school,
There's no way I'm letting you back out now,
[BOTH gasp]
[STUDENTS gasp]
[RUBY whimpers] I'm so nervous,
[HANAMARU] This place is kinda, sorta, huge, zura,
[YOSHIKO] What are you freaking about?
The Love Live competition stage was a hundred times this size!
There's nothing to--
But everyone we knew was there,
[CHIKA] Well,,, We're here,
[STUDENTS applauding]
[YOSHIKO] Six of us?
Will that really be enough, zura?
[RUBY] I don't know,
Your group is the next one up,
I asked them to give you some extra time, sound good?
Break a leg,
'Kay, This one's for Uranohoshi,
That's right,
Come on, We'll be fine,
[CHIKA] From zero to one,
From one to the next,
Aqours,,,
[ALL] ,,,Sunshine!
[ALL laughing]
[ANNOUNCER A] In the spring, students from Uranohoshi
Girls High School will merge with our school,
Aqours, their Idol Club, have kindly offered to perform
a live show for us,
[clapping]
[CHIKA] This is it,
[RIKO] Our first step,,,
[YOU] ,,,on the journey to become the new Aqours,
[RUBY] We'll move forward with the six of us,
[HANAMARU] With six members,
[YOSHIKO] Just us,
Uh?
[CHIKA gasping]
[horn honking]
[ALL sigh]
We blew it, didn't we?
I just can't believe we made such a basic mistake,
And it's not like we were especially careless or anything,
That's true, But it felt off somehow,
You know what I mean, zura?
I miss Dia,
[MUTSU gasps] Look, there! Chika!
[YOSHIMI] Hey!
It's Mu,
[footsteps]
What'd they say?
It sounds like they've decided they should keep it
as a branch school for now,
Yeah, of course,
I'm sorry,
It's all our fault for messing up the show,
[ITSUKO] No, You guys didn't do anything wrong,
[YOSHIMI] If anything, we're the ones to blame!
When our school was closing, and with this too,
we just let you do all the work,
[MUTSU] Probably because we felt that we can't form a club
like yours, that everyone would be proud of,
Yeah, but that's just because you didn't have enough members
to form one, You can't blame yourself for that,
[CHIKA] Still though, because of that,
it's more important than ever that that we do a good job,
[GIRLS gasp]
[MUTSU] Here,
Thank you?
We know you're trying, So, don't give up, okay?
And we don't mind the old school building,
Besides, most of us think it feels more like Uranohoshi,
--[MUTSU] For sure! --[YOSHIMI] Exactly,
[MUTSU] Everything will be fine!
[ITSUKO] Yep!
[GIRLS laughing]
Yummy!
Mito, Don't eat too much,
'Kay! Fine,
[CHIKA] Six members,,,
[sighs]
[door slides open]
Hey, there, This takes me back, Just like old times, huh?
Do you wanna talk about it?
Not particularly, no,
[laughs]
So, I've been thinking,
About our School Idol Club, and how it's pretty misunderstood,
Since we're always smiling up on stage,
I feel like we appear frivolous to people,
Because we look like we're having a lot of fun,
it probably seems like we're just playing around,
[CHIKA] You think so?
But the truth is, we dance while we're singing,
And if people knew how much work all that was
then I doubt they'd enjoy watching us,
We simply can't show them that side of being an idol,
I guess not giving up is the only way to do that,
Everyone's trying their best,
Even the former Uranohoshi students,
And being school idols means that we can't lose out
to the established clubs, We have to do our best, too,
I know that, but I'm still struggling,
[CHIKA] I don't know how to make this work
with just the six of us,
When Mari, Kanan, and Dia graduated they told us
to continue Aqours, I agreed without thinking,
I was like, "Let's do this!" and thought we could handle it,
but then when it was time to perform,
it felt weird without them,
When we were on stage, it finally hit me,
I could feel it,
They're gone, There's no more Mari or Kanan,
No more Dia, it's just us now,
I'm not so sure about the new Aqours,
because without them, we aren't Aqours,
Moving forward, what'll you do?
Because at this rate, Uranohoshi and School Idols
will always be misunderstood,
You know,
the thing about failure is you're meant to recover from it,
[gasps]
[RIKO] I think there's still time,
--[CHIKA] To fix things? --[RIKO] Yes!
From here on out, we won't fail,
we'll do things right and prove ourselves to everyone!
Like, with a live?
[RIKO] The fact of the matter is,
we'll never solve our problems by standing still,
It'll be fine, Let's do it! Love Live!
[laughs]
You're so optimistic today,
[RIKO] I have lived here for a year now,
I guess somebody must have rubbed off on me,
Who was it?
[RIKO laughs] Pretty sure it was you,
[RIKO] Even so,
It's clear we still have a long road ahead of us,
[CHIKA] We've won Love Live before!
That's true, But we can always be better!
Oh, really? Better than right now?
[RIKO laughs] You look so silly,
[CHIKA] Well, you do, too!
Now this feels more like us, don't you agree, Chika?
You bet I do! So, I guess we need to start planning
what we're going to do next, don't we?
Like a run!
[CHIKA] Mm!
[RIKO, CHIKA laughing]
It's too hot, zura,
Come on, only one more lap to go!
[GIRLS groan]
[AQOURS] One, two, three, four,
And, two, two, three, four,,,
[YOSHIKO] So, tell me,
We ever decide where we're gonna practice?
I've checked out a bunch of places,
but nothing really worked,
It can't be helped; guess we'll have to practice here,
On the beach?!
You know, it kinda reminds me of when we started Aqours,
--How so? --Whadya mean?
Back then we had no place to practice, No club room, either,
We didn't even have a group name yet,
[CHIKA] Oh, yeah,
It was just me, Riko, and You in the beginning,
We practiced on this very same beach,
[RIKO] As if it were fate, we saw "Aqours"
written in the sand,
[CHIKA] Yep,
[SARAH] Long time no see!
[BOTH scream]
[RUBY gasping]
It's Leah!
[HANAMARU] Why's Saint Snow at the beach?
[YOU] What brings you here?
[CHIKA] I e-mailed them,
They said they were gonna be in Tokyo,
so I invited them to come watch us practice,
My goodness,
You do know this is my sister's graduation trip, don't you?
Can't you let her enjoy it?
[CHIKA] Sorry,
[SARAH] It's fine,
In fact, Leah was excited to come and watch,
[LEAH] I was not!
[AQOURS] Huh,,,?
Look, it might sound odd, but could we get your opinions?
Like about our performance and stuff?
[SARAH] Sure,
That's it, huh?
So, how were we?
I'm going to be honest, I'm sure that's what you want,
or you wouldn't have asked us to watch,
[GIRLS grunt]
Here's the thing, If Love Live had points,
then scoring 100 would make you the winner,
Your score right now,,, is a 30, No, wait,
It's probably closer to the 20-point mark,
[YOSHIKO] That low?
[RUBY] But that's not even close to 100,
[SARAH] Ask yourselves, was it the third years in your group
who made you shine so much?
Was it Kanan's dancing and natural rhythm?
Mari's singing ability?
Or Dia's brilliant stage presence?
Were those three what gave Aqours its spark?
It's an important question,
Without the three of them,
it feels like you're more anxious and less composed,
That's true, It's as if you've lost all your confidence,
[YOSHIKO growls]
Well, at least we know what we need to work on now,
Okay,,, What do we do?
[LEAH seethes] Are you kidding me?
You can't ask us to solve all of your problems!
For once, just figure it out on your own!
Um, Leah?
Our sisters have moved on! Deal with it!
[SARAH] Sorry about that,
[RUBY] Is Leah planning on starting
a new school idol group?
[SARAH] I think that's what she wants to do, But,,,
Even though she's managed to recruit some members,
I don't think it's going very well,
It's harder than she thought it'd be,
[YOSHIKO] Maybe her personality's the problem,
[HANAMARU] You're one to talk, zura,
[YOSHIKO] Quiet, Zuramaru!
[LEAH panting]
[footsteps]
[RUBY panting]
[RUBY gasps] I'm sorry!
You're trying, but it must be difficult on your own,
[LEAH] Love Live,,, isn't a game!
Huh?
--[helicopter blades whir] --[gasping]
Hey, What's that?
[YOU] No way, we've definitely seen that chopper before,
[GIRLS gasp]
[yelps]
It's,,,
It's,,, It's,,,
[GIRLS] It's Mari!
[HANAMARU] Zura?
[YOU] Or not,,,?
[RIKO] 'Kay, then who?
Hi, I'd like to thank you for always looking out for my Mari,
You bellas! I am her madre,
Lovely to meet you, a pleasure!
[gasps, grunts]
[GIRLS] You've lost contact with them?
[AQOURS gasping]
Sì girls, I'm afraid so!
But, before they left, Mari went on and on about you,
like how you helped out the school,
I was so impressed,
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you,
Have you heard from them?
No, Since this was Dia's graduation trip,
I didn't want to bother her with texts or anything,
Now they're missing!
Boop Boop and Hug,
I've tried calling all three of them,
but they won't answer their telefoni !
[YOU] Who are "Boop Boop" and "Hug"?
[RIKO] I'm pretty sure she's referring to Dia and Kanan,
So I'm asking you-- I believe in you all!
Please go find my Mari!
Uh, huh?
[GIRLS yelp]
[YOSHIKO] Money?
[YOSHIKO grunts]
[RIKO] Hold on,
Are you saying you'll give us this money if we find them?
[HANAMARU hums] This is chocolate, zura,
Sì! This is my way of saying
I'll pay for all of your transportation!
[AQOURS gasp]
[CHIKA] That's cool,
Although, should you find Mari and the others,
I'll give you a gift equivalent of what you see here,
Sound bene ?
[YOSHIKO] Heh, heh, Leave it to us!
For my eyes are gifted with a powerful magic and see all!
I shall find your daughter! Worry not! Yohane will prevail!
I think the only thing your eyes see is money,
[YOSHIKO] How dare you! You know we've got a show to do!
[RUBY yelps] A show?
I hadn't even thought about what our next concert will be like!
[YOU] It does seem weird that no one has heard from them,
I can't help but worry,
[RIKO] What should we do?
[SARAH] I think you should go look for them,
Actually, I had thought this earlier--
during your show, You need a new spark,
and I think Mari and the others can help,
Well, at least once you find them, that is,
[CHIKA] But,,,
Just trust me,
I know this is a new direction for all of you,
But that's why it's good to reflect on the past,
So you can focus on the future,
[RUBY grunts]
[RIKO] Chika,
I think Sarah might have a really good point,
We can practice for our shows wherever we are,
It's not like we haven't done it before,
[YOU] Don't worry, We can do it!
Okay then! Let's go!
[MARI'S MOM laughs] Yay! Yay!
Grazie mille, bella!
Uh, So, where did the three of them go?
It must be fun since it's their special graduation trip,
A practice ground to the North? Or a new land in the South?
I know,
You do?
[MARI'S MOM] It's not as mysterious as all that,
They're visiting the country that our ancestors are from,
You don't mean,,,
I think she does,
[GIRLS gasp]
It's Italy! Whoo!
[AQOURS gasp]
[YOSHIKO] Yohane,,, Go!
[coin clinks]
[YOSHIKO] A brand new land,
Behold as Yohane,,, descends!
We're here!
Pistachio gelato's yummy, zura!
[YOSHIKO] Already?
[HANAMARU] It also comes in chocolate flavor!
[RUBY] Do you want some, Yoshiko?
[YOSHIKO] Of course! Oh, but what if it messes
with my stomach or something since I've never had it?
Meh, worth it!
[laughs]
[RIKO] Have you heard from them?
There's no word from my sis,
Yeah, and nothing from Kanan or Mari either, All I have is
this picture they sent me when they first got here,
What do you think?
[YOU] Hm,,, I guess we have no choice
but to head to that location, right?
[TSUKI] Hey, that's not far from here!
You know this place?
[YOU] Yep! In fact,
Tsuki lived in Italy when she was younger,
Pretty cool, huh?
I'll be your guide,
If you ladies have any questions, I'm happy to help!
Now,,, Can I get an aye-aye?
Hold up, isn't that supposed to be my line?
[GIRLS laugh]
[CHIKA] This is amazing!
The river goes through the whole city!
[TSUKI] Yeah, the town is full of different canals,
you can take a boat anywhere!
It's not so great if you drive a car, though,
[RIKO] How fascinating!
Jeez, This city's so confusing,
Hm?
[RUBY whimpers]
[TSUKI] Here we are!
[screams]
I'm scared, Hanamaru!
[HANAMARU] There, there,
It looks right,
[RIKO] This has to be the same place,
[phone ringing]
What the,,,?
[YOU] Should we answer it?
[CHIKA] Tsuki?
[TSUKI] "Bovolo,"
[RUBY] Huh?
The voice said, "Contarini del Bovolo,"
[YOSHIKO] I don't know,
Something just seems off about this whole thing,
Uh! What if it's all a set-up?
[HANAMARU] I'm sure it's fine, zura,
This way?
[TSUKI] I think so,
Uh,
Huh?! Check it out!
So cool!
It's as if we've travelled back to the Middle Ages!
The place we're going is at the top of that building,
[RUBY gasps] Sis!
It's Mari! And Kanan!
[GIRLS laugh]
Thank goodness,
[GIRLS panting]
[gasps] Whoa, It's you, sis!
[RUBY] You,,,
You're,,, You're okay!
I can't believe you really came to Italy,
It's so far from home,
[RUBY] Of course! Of course,
What a relief,
Were the three of you together this whole time?
Sì, naturally! Why wouldn't we be?
So does that mean you girls weren't missing?
[ALL] Missing? You mean us?
[RUBY grunts]
[MARI] I knew it!
Mama is the one who sent them here!
[KANAN] What exactly did Mari's mom say to you
before you came to Italy?
[RIKO] Nothing much,
[CHIKA] She mostly just talked about how you'd gone missing
and that she was very worried about you,
[DIA] Oh? And who's that?
Nice to meet you! Name's Tsuki Watanabe,
I'm actually You's cousin,
Ahoy there girls!
[MARI] She's bella!
Of course,
She is You's cousin,
[YOU] Hm?
[HANAMARU groans] Those stairs,
I'm dyin', go on without me,
Hanamaru!
Rest in peace!
Back up, isn't it strange Mari's mother would say we're missing?
I think we can assume that means we're being used as bait,
As bait?
Sì, I'm afraid this whole thing was a trap,
If we'd known you were coming, we would have made contact,
Looks like this was a set up,
[DIA] A trap to lure Mari out from hiding!
[CHIKA] What?!
[RIKO] So you girls going missing
was nothing more than a lie?
[RUBY] Huh,,,?
[WOMAN A] Ma saranno loro quelle ragazze?
Ma sì, mi pare proprio di sì,
[WOMAN C] Ma dite,,,
[MARI] This location is no longer safe,
[YOU grunting]
[RIKO, CHIKA] Uh?
--[TSUKI, RIKO grunt] --[RIKO, CHIKA] Eh?
Sorry, You, Forgive me!
[YOU, TSUKI] Uniform!
[GIRLS] No! Don't!
No, don't zura,
She's definitely,,,
,,,related to You, am I right?
[gasps]
[GIRLS] Come back!
[DIA] Sorry!
[MARI] We can't tell you the details right now!
This is just a hunch, but I think Mari and the others
may be runnin' away from her mom,
You think so?
Let's go after them!
[RIKO] That's impossible,
we have no idea where they might be going!
[YOU] What's this?
[TSUKI] "If you've fallen, look to the land Giovanni protects,
The fairies will guide you on the right path,"
The fallen?
Giovanni? In that case,
I have a pretty good idea the place it's talking about,
Wait, Tell me more about these fallen,
[RIKO grumbles]
[TSUKI] There's a city in Italy whose patron saint is Giovanni,
AKA John or Johannes!
[MARI] We'll go to my secret spot,
How long do you think we should keep running away like this?
[KANAN] Don't like it?
Well, I'm not saying that I hate it,
This really takes me back,
Kinda reminds me of being kids and sneaking Mari out to play,
[DIA] I agree,
I guess some things never change, huh, Mari?
True, let's go!
[KANAN] 'Kay,
Time for an adventure!
That's the spot! Yeah,
[inhales]
What a beautiful house, Mari!
It's your family's, am I right?
It must be nice to be rich,
[MARI] Sì! I'd definitely agree!
But this isn't my place, I'm just borrowing it from a friend,
Though, my family does have a vacation casa kinda close by,
And right now,,,
[MARI] Mama must be furiosa !
[growls]
[DIA] Why did you meet with everyone?
Was this all part of a bigger plan or something?
Uh-huh! I knew when we made our great escape
they would probably suspect we went to
the Ohara vacation home that's in a different town,
Ah, this was just to buy you some time,
[DIA] Does that mean Chika won't be able to find us?
[MARI] Hm,,, I left them a little hint
to our whereabouts in the uniform,
There's a good chance they could figure it out in time,
[KANAN] Yeah, well, they did come all this way,
Thanks to your mom, of course,
They'd be better off forgetting about us,
Like, shouldn't they be focusing
on making the new Aqours a success?
[DIA] Maybe they're not just here
because your mother sent them,
[DIA] It could be
they have something important to discuss with us,
[sighs] We're in Florence at last!
[YOSHIKO] Giovanni, Johannes, Johannes, Yohane,
[YOU] What should we do?
[HANAMARU] Sample the local cuisine, of course!
[GIRLS] Sounds good!
[RIKO] Hm,,,
It's molto buono , zura!
What did you say?
[HANAMARU] That's how you say "really good" in Italian!
I'm glad we figured out Mari's clue,
but I'm not sure what the next step is,
Yeah, and Florence is still a pretty big place,
I wonder if they plan on contacting us or something?
What if they're here?
Wouldn't they text?
Maybe they can't?
That could be why, If they use their phones,
then Mari's mom could probably track their location,
[CHIKA] Good point,
[TSUKI] Here, sorry it took so long!
Whoa! What is this thing?
It's huge!
It's a dish called "Bistecca alla Fiorentina,"
It's quite popular,
[HANAMARU gasps] I can't wait to try it!
Here, Yoshiko!
Huh? Where's Yoshiko?
Yoshiko! I mean, Yohane!
[CHIKA] She's gone?
We don't have time for this,
Now we have to find a fallen angel on top of everything else!
I wonder where she went?
Yeah, good question,
[RUBY] Johannes,
[GIRLS gasp]
She couldn't stop talking about Johannes earlier!
[CHIKA panting]
That girl is so ridiculous,
[RUBY laughs]
[CHIKA gasping] It's huge!
[YOU] What is this place? It's awesome!
[TSUKI] It's the Duomo,
[HANAMARU] Whatty-what-now?
[TSUKI] And this is Piazza San Giovanni,
[RIKO] Giovanni like Johannes!
Wow, having such a large structure
in the middle of the city is amazing,
[RIKO] But never mind that! We have to find Yoshiko!
[RUBY] Where could she be?
Who are you looking for?
[TSUKI grunts]
Our good friend is missing,
She's right around the same age as us,
Yes, and around the same height, too,
She can be rather noisy,
And she tells everyone she's a fallen angel, zura,
[YOSHIKO] I understand,
It sounds like she's a very free and noble spirit,
[GIRLS gasp]
It's Yoshiko!
Are those wings? On you?
Who is this "Yoshiko"? I'm Yohane!
Do you have any idea how worried we were?
And,,, What's with that outfit?
It's so weird,
Please, calm yourself, my Ordinary Lili,
I'm perfectly calm, thank you,
Wait, I thought we ditched the "Lili" thing,
Here, I shall explain,
I'm not the Fallen Angel, Yohane,
San Giovanni has shown me the right path,
I was reborn!
As a true angel!
[GIRLS grumble]
The Aqours girls sure have interesting personalities,
[sighs] Why'd we even worry?
Come everyone, Follow me, the beautiful angel, Yohane,
as we aim for the heavens over yonder!
What is that thing?
It's the cupola, Duomo's canopy,
I suppose I could grace you with my presence just long enough
to guide you there, But,,,
I require a donation of 15 euros per person!
[RIKO] You're charging us?
[CHIKA] You can't force us to donate,
[HANAMARU] I don't think you know what angels are, zura,
Come!
[YOU] Whoa,,,
Look at all the red roofs!
[RIKO] It's not every day you see a view like this,
Especially one so different than Japan,
[TSUKI] Yep,
There are literally centuries of history here,
Why are there so many darn stairs in Italy, zura?
Well, this building is pretty old,
it makes sense that there's no elevator,
[YOSHIKO] Do you feel it?
The air is full of my kindred spirits,
They're sending me their blessings and gospels!
Behold, See how they wink?
[CHIKA] What do mean?
[YOU] It looks more like a signal,
[TSUKI] That's it!
"The path of fairies will lead the way!"
[RUBY gasps]
It's my sis!
Let's go!
[RIKO] You sure about this?
[RUBY whines]
Anyone home?!
[ALL grunt]
[whispers] Come on in,
[GIRLS gasping]
Did you make sure you weren't followed?
Yep! And just in case,
we changed our route several times on the hike up,
[RUBY] Sis!
That's good,
But why on earth would you come all the way out here?
Wait, did Mama get in touch with you again?
[CHIKA] Mm-mm, No, She didn't,
What's the deal with your mom? Tell us,
[MARI] Uh, Nothing,
You know how long we hiked?
Come on, Spit it out,
[YOU, TSUKI grunt]
[DIA] It's really not fair to keep them in the dark like this,
They did travel a long way,
But,,,
The truth is, Mari's about to get hitched,
Like to a truck or what?
Not that kinda hitched,
So she's cool?
Hitched, not hip,
She's breaking out of an egg?
That's hatched,
She's that thing the goes on doors, zura!
You think she's a door hinge?
[RIKO grunting]
I believe she meant hedge!
No, hitched as in married,
[GIRLS] What?!
Wait, Married?
To a guy?
Who is he, what's his name, and where's he from?
Enough, There's no guy,
[RIKO, HANAMARU, YOU gasp]
Kanan! That's not funny!
Well, if you don't do something soon,
then it's only a matter of time,
The whole reason we came here was to prevent that!
What the heck's going on?!
I don't get it,
Well, to put it all rather simply,
there's been an offer of marriage,
[MARI] And what's worse, it's to some boy I've never even met!
[RUBY] Why though?
Because she wants to take away Mari's freedom,
[GIRLS gasp]
She means Mari's mother, When we first met Mari
as children, her mother wasn't very fond of us,
[KANAN] Up until that point, Mari was always well-behaved,
But after getting to know us
she evolved into more of a free spirit,
[DIA] Mari decided to return to Uranohoshi on her own,
and then took up the position of chairwoman,
When it comes to school idols,
let's just say her mom isn't a fan,
That's too bad,
So, what was the point of this trip, then?
You see, I wanted Mama to understand
my feelings, so I wrote her a letter,
I told her how I am a different girl than I was
when I was a kid, And that if she won't let me be free,
then I won't be coming home,
This is all just you rebelling?
Yeah, the problem is we never thought her mom would actually
chase us to Italy,
Everyone needs to calm down, Now, Let's take a deep breath,
What are you doing, zura?
This is the wish,,, of the Angel Yohane-- Uh!
[screams]
--[crash] --[groaning]
No, Yoshiko!
You okay?
--[YOU] What a relief, --[RIKO] Look, a fallen angel!
[YOSHIKO] That's not even funny!
Can you girls focus on getting me outta this tree?
[HANAMARU] Sounds like Yoshiko's back to normal,
--[GIRLS laughing] --[engine revs]
[footsteps]
Hmph,
[YOSHIKO] Behold, the Fallen Angel Yohane--is back!
Really, I'm not sure which version of her
I prefer, they're both annoying,
You know, I can hear you!
Quiet, Little Demon Lili!
[RIKO growls] Don't call me Lili!
So anyway, Everyone's involved now,
We need to start thinking about our next step,
Like, what's our plan?
Good question,
[door slams]
[ALL gasp]
[MARI] Whoa,,, Mama?
Hiding out in a place like this,
Let me guess, it was "Hug's" idea?
[MARI] Nuh-uh! This whole thing is all your fault!
You're being too strict!
Well, I wish I had been stricter!
Maybe then you'd behave!
Remember how you ran away from home in Elementary school?
And how you quit school here so you could go back to Japan
to try and save Uranohoshi?
I only put up with it because your father insisted,
but look at the results!
What of them?
[MARI'S MOM] As if you don't know,
All of your gallivanting has resulted in failure!
Failure to prevent your school from closing,
and forfeiting your opportunity to graduate overseas!
Really? What about my achievements as a school idol?
We won Love Live! Do you know how hard that was?
So what?
Please, School idols are completely worthless,
Those achievements? Who cares?
They're useless,
[gasps] Useless,,,?
[DIA grunts]
[MARI] She's doesn't understand,
Right, Which is why we thought it would be better
for Mari to make her own decisions,
That's enough!
Besides, Mari will do what I tell her!
[MARI] Idols aren't worthless!
Huh? What?
School idols are special, They're not worthless!
Listen, all I need is the chance to prove it to you,
I can show you that idols are capable of great things!
Give me this opportunity,
If you do that, I promise we'll prove that school idols
have the ability to touch peoples' hearts,
Then will you acknowledge my feelings, Mama?
Refuse the marriage offer,
Allow Mari to make her own choices,
including who she spends her time with,
As you wish,
Mama?
However, should you fail, you will do as I say, young lady,
[knocking]
[SARAH] Leah?
I just got a message from Chika and the rest of Aqours,
Get this,
They're going to do a live performance in Italy and,,,
[LEAH] Sorry, but,,,
I kinda wanna be alone right now,
Yeah,
[YOU] Buongiorno!
But "good evening" is "Buonasera," 'Kay?
It's ottimo !
Where are you putting all that food?
No way the human stomach is capable of holding that much,
Unless you're not human,
[HANAMARU] Try the lasagna, zura! Say, "aah!"
[laughs]
So, have we decided everything?
Huh? What do you mean?
Our show! Where are we doing it?
Today was so much fun!
I can't believe we got see so many awesome sights,
I know! With you all here I'm molto eccitata !
Is anyone listening to me? We have to figure out where
to perform so we can show your mom how great idols are!
You're the reason we even made that deal! Sheesh!
Yeah, we hear you, calm down, Dia,
Everything we saw today was beautiful, but,
we need a crowded place,
Obviously those would be the best spots,
though a stage wouldn't be a bad idea, either,
For sure, I loved the Trevi Fountain,
The stairs were nice, too,
Kinda makes me wish we could use all of 'em!
[DIA] That's a tall order to fill,
We could use the colosseum!
I'll help, too! I can take video!
[CHIKA] Thanks, Tsuki!
[MARI] Sounds bene!
We should be able to gather a huge crowd there,
[KANAN] Glad we got that settled,
[RIKO] Me, too,
[HANAMARU] Wait, not so fast, Give us a moment,
We may be first years,
but we have something important we'd like to say,
If you don't mind, we want to be the ones
to pick the venue for our performance,
[DIA] Huh?
We're tired of sitting around,
In the past, we've always let the older members of Aqours
take care of everything,
Not anymore!
We would like you to trust us with this show,
[YOSHIKO groans] My stomach is dangerously full!
[RIKO] And who's fault is that exactly?
[HANAMARU] Good night, zura,
[YOSHIKO] You could act a little more concerned, gosh!
Sorry, girls,
[BOTH gasp]
[KANAN] Mari ran her mouth and got you involved in our mess,
[MARI] Hey, I just got caught up in the moment!
[YOU] Like we'd expect anything less,
[CHIKA] For real,
Look, if you girls decide to back out,
then we'd definitely understand
and can come up with something to perform on our own,
It's cool,
[CHIKA] Mm-mm, We're good,
[BOTH gasp]
Yeah, to be honest I think we're all happy about it,
[MARI] Really?
[CHIKA] Mm, The thing is,,,
,,,we came here for us,
It wasn't just because Mari's mom offered to fund the trip,
[YOU] You see, This sort of involves everyone in our group,
We've been feeling kinda worried,
[CHIKA] It's like,,, an unsettled feeling,
We're still not sure about the new Aqours,
Hold up, new Aqours?
We honestly tried our best to figure everything out
by ourselves, but we couldn't,
But that's where Sarah came in,
She suggested meeting up with you and talking about it,
Makes perfect sense,
What do you think, Kanan? Any ideas?
Just that I agree with what you already said,
[CHIKA] Hm?
[KANAN] You need to find the answer on your own,
[MARI] I agree,
It won't mean as much if we just tell you what to do,
Yeah, true,
[KANAN] Chika,
Look, our hearts will always be with you,
Mari's heart,,, Dia's heart,,,
And mine, of course,
That will never change,
Never?
No, Promise,
Now! We should go to bed, tomorrow's a big day,
Try and get some rest,
[laughs]
Right, so,,,
Oh! It's strange, but I think I almost saw it--
Aqours' future!
[BOTH laugh]
[HANAMARU] Where are we gonna perform, zura?
[YOSHIKO chuckles] Yohane shall pick!
[RUBY] Actually, we've already settled on a place!
[AQOURS laughing]
[CROWD gasping]
♪
[applause]
We did it!
Yes! And I must say, you were magnificent, Ruby!
You can do anything!
[RUBY laughs]
Oh, hey, Why choose the Spanish Steps?
That's easy!
Well, they felt familiar!
Back in Numazu, we performed on very similar stairs, zura!
[GIRLS laugh]
[MARI'S MOM] Mari,
Mama,
The things I've done as a school idol are a part of me,
And those achievements help define who I am,
Do you understand?
In the same way that you and Papa
have always been there for me,
the girls in Aqours are also my famiglia,
And that's why I refuse to let go of them,
This is who I'm meant to be,
[YOU] That was weird,
[MARI] Sì,
But,,, I think she understands,
Yohane,,, is back!
[HANAMARU] I'm beat, zura,
C'mon, don't leave me!
[HANAMARU] Seems pretty empty,
[CHIKA] That's kinda strange, Mu told us to meet her here,
Uh?
[STUDENTS giggle]
Welcome back!
[CHIKA] We really appreciate you girls
helping with our live performance,
[YOSHIMI] Hey, no problem!
We reached out to everyone else after we got your message,
Yep, and they all said they'd be happy to help out!
Uh-huh!
We've taken the liberty of designing the stage for you!
Really?
[MUTSU] Prepare to be amazed,
Ready?
[STUDENTS] See?
[AQOURS gasp]
[ITSUKO] Well?
[HANAMARU] It's amazin'!
[RIKO] It's a splendid looking stage, but,,,
[YOU] Will we have enough time to make something so intricate?
I was initially pretty worried, too,
But then we discussed it a little, And we decided
we'll do whatever it takes to build a stage worthy of Aqours!
[YOSHIMI] We're determined to prove that Uranohoshi's clubs
are also worthy of being proud of!
[ITSUKO] The only thing left to do is recruit a few more helpers
for the sound personnel during the performance,
[STUDENS] Hello,
It's nice to meet you!
[AQOURS gasp]
[TSUKI] These girls told me they want to help out with your show,
Just because some of our parents are opposed to this,
doesn't mean the rest of the school is,
It's not much, but we're trying,
[YOU] Way to be the best student rep ever!
Thanks so much,
[STUDENT A] What?!
It can't be, You're Yohane?
[YOSHIKO] No, I'm not!
We went to the same middle school together!
I used to watch you online!
U-Uh--!
[ALL] Yohane,,, Descend!
[gasping]
We just got these girls from the main campus to support us,
No running away, Yohane,
[YOSHIKO] That's scary!
Now this seems like a great photo opportunity,
Wouldn't you agree, zura?
Photo opportunity?!
For real?
[BOTH] Yay, pictures!
No way!
[RIKO grunts]
[RIKO] We won't let you escape,
Say cheese, zura,
You're cruel! This is betrayal, plain and simple!
[shutter clicks]
[YOSHIKO] Uh,,,
[STUDENT C] Thank you!
[STUDENT B] It looks perfect!
Yep, it was my pleasure,
[STUDENT A] Give me your ID so I can send you a copy,
[RIKO, HANAMARU] Hm?
[gasping]
[STUDENT A, YOSHIKO] Shake, shake!
Thank you! Let's do our best!
All right! Let's do this!
Hold on, It'll be so different from the last time we sang,
We don't have the third years, not anymore,
[RUBY] We can do it, It'll be okay!
Yeah, you're right!
I have total faith in us,
And in Aqours!
[CHIKA] Mm-hm!
[RUBY gasps, giggles]
Guess that means we'll have to work hard, too,
[MUTSU] Did you bring us souvenirs?
[CHIKA] Oops, I forgot,
[GIRLS] What?!
[MARI] How interessante ! I didn't know they were having
so much trouble with the new school,
[DIA] I wish they would have said something sooner,
[KANAN] If we had known the situation,
maybe we could have helped more,
[DIA] Perhaps,
But I think it's good they're tackling it themselves,
[MARI grumbles]
What's the matter, Mari?
It's so boring! I hate that we can't help our friends!
There's not much we can do,
Especially since the three of us have graduated,
Besides, Chika went out of her way
to invite us to go and see their live performance,
It's not like I don't know that,
[phone vibrates]
What the heck?
[RIKO] You all play nice, okay? And please be quiet for a while,
Chika really needs to concentrate,
[barks]
Sit, girl!
[barking]
[gasps] I said sit!
[SHIITAKE barks]
--[RIKO] Sit, Shitake! --[SHIITAKE barking]
[RIKO] Silly dog, can't you just listen to me this once?
[SHIITAKE barks]
[RIKO sighs]
[RIKO laughs]
You're really in the zone,
Huh,,,? Yeah, sorry,
I guess that my muse just came to me,
And I suddenly knew how we needed to start,
You mean starting over with six members?
Yeah, Y'know, I used to think starting over
meant you had to go back to zero,
Zero's a typical starting place after all,
so it made sense,
[RIKO] But not anymore?
[CHIKA] No, It's different,
If we started over then we would lose all the experiences
that made us who we are,
And that doesn't make sense!
Everything we've done together is still in our hearts,
Not one single thing has disappeared,
[CHIKA] And when I think of it that way,
I know we can do this,
I'm looking forward to your lyrics,
Compose a good song, 'kay?
Of course,
To be honest with you,
I feel like my composing's better than ever,
While we were in Italy, I tried to listen to all kinds of music,
[CHIKA] That sounds like you,
[RIKO] We're not the only ones working hard,
Ruby and Hanamaru went to the fabric store
so they could help design our new costumes,
You and Yoshiko even learned a brand-new dance
choreography so they could show it to us,
That's awesome,
The girls in Aqours are amazing,
Sure are! What's it like to lead such a cool group of girls?
Great, honestly!
[BOTH laugh]
[SHIMA] Chika!
[CHIKA] What's up?
Your friend Kanan is on the phone,
[RIKO] Huh?
Uh! My phone is dead!
[AQOURS] Huh?!
You mean Leah wants,,,
[BOTH] ,,,to join Aqours?
[GIRLS] Seriously?
Does that mean she'll transfer to our school?
I guess,
Depending on the process,
the application could be completed in the spring,
and she would be able to attend school with you,
You do all know each other,
So is that what Leah said she wants to do?
Nuh-uh, We heard all this from Sarah,
That's right, she's worried and thinks this may be Leah's
best course of action,
Though, to be fair, I think she only called us because
she wanted our opinion as fellow graduates,
We're really happy that Sarah feels like
she can confide in us, but since it also involves Aqours,
we wanted to talk to you girls too,
That's a tough call,
Leah joining us?
I can already imagine it,
[YOSHIKO groans]
Jeez, You call that a step?
This isn't a game! Get it right or else,,, Yoshiko!
Don't call me Yoshiko, the name is Yohane!
Who are you talkin' to, zura?
What do you think?
I don't particularly mind or anything,
I mean, we've talked about this,
Aqours' success isn't dependent on how many members it has,
Yeah, that's true,
Leah's a friend, and she's competed in Love Live before,
That being said, it still makes me uneasy,
Only 'cause you're afraid that Leah might be able
to contribute more than you, zura,
Right, so then,
I oppose,
[CHIKA gasps]
It's just,,,
I don't think this is what Leah really wants,
She could join our group,
but that's not going to solve any of her problems,
Why do you feel that way?
[RUBY] Because,,,
After their last show, Saint Snow dissolved,
And then Leah tried to start a new group,
I feel she wants to preserve
the memory of performing with her sister,
That's why she did those things,
Which is why,,, I don't think she wants to join Aqours,
Uh,,,
[RUBY] As someone who has sung with her sister,
I truly understand how she feels,
My sis and the others are not gone,
We may not sing on the same stage anymore,
but we're still together,
[CHIKA] Together?
[RUBY] I guess Leah just hasn't had the chance
to realize that yet,
[RUBY] She has to do something to fill the void
left by Sarah's departure from the group,
Right now she's trying her best to recreate Saint Snow,
But it's only because they didn't win,
They lost Love Live, despite all their hard work,
She probably feels like she let Sarah down,
[gasps]
You know, I think you may be the only one
in Aqours who really understands Leah's feelings,
Since I graduated as well, you have that in common,
[footsteps]
I think you've made a great point, Ruby,
Agreed!
[RUBY] Thanks,
But that doesn't solve the problem,
Huh?
No, it doesn't,
The best thing to do would be to just talk to her,
Yeah, We've got your back,
No matter what, that'll never change,
It might be difficult,
but I think we can make her dream come true,
Dream?
That's it, Leah's dream!
Well now, Seems like we all have the same idea,
[DIA] Uh?
The one thing holding her back--
The dream she reached for but never quite achieved,
Let's do it,
We'll make her wish come true, together,
I guess we need to make a call to Sarah then, huh?
[LEAH] I'm sorry, sis, It was our biggest dream,
[LEAH] And I,,,
I destroyed it,
[LEAH] I'm sorry,
[LEAH] I'm sorry!
[STUDENT D] Did you hear that Saint Snow lost?
[STUDENT E] They were a surefire win,
[STUDENT F] How could they mess up that badly?
[SARAH] Leah!
[wails]
[footsteps]
[LEAH] Sis?
Your uniform?
But why?
[TSUKI] Okay! Get ready, because we're about
to conduct the final round of Love Live!
[gasps]
Allow me to introduce the two groups in the finals!
Whoa,
That energy,
She's a natural,
First up, our local idols from Uranohoshi!
This may be their first appearance,
but they are second to none!
Give it up for the school idols, Aqours!
[ALL cheer]
[TSUKI] Our second group is the talented superstars
born in the North, Saint Snow!
[SARAH] We're gonna hold our own Love Live,
A competition that's just for us,
[LEAH grunts]
Take it, You'll need to get changed for our performance,
We have a lot of preparations to make before we sing,
So let's get ready,
[LEAH] Uh,,, Mm,
Sis, I,,,
[SARAH] Leah, We need to focus on the competition,
But after this whole thing is over,
and we're done performing together,
I have something I would like to tell you,
[gasps]
[gasps] Sister!
[SARAH] Come on, there's no need to cry,
[RUBY] Let's move forward together, Leah!
[LEAH gasps]
[RUBY] It's time for us to be strong,
Ever since we first met you,
Hanamaru and Yoshiko,
they've been trying their best, just like me!
[gasps]
[RUBY] Love Live,,, isn't a game!
[BOTH gasp]
You ready?
[LEAH] Mm!
One last performance,,,
,,,against our rivals, Aqours!
♪
[LEAH panting]
This moment that we just shared will never vanish,
We're both Saint Snow,
That is a bond that cannot be broken,
It'll always be part of us,
This feeling will always remain in your heart, Leah,
No matter how we change in the future,
this much will stay the same, I promise,
So please, You don't need to chase it anymore,
That's what I wanted to say to you,
Thank you, sis,
[MARI] Oh! I've always thought that
being a School Idol was simply magnifica!
[DIA] I agree, but this will be our last time performing,
[KANAN] Yes, So we should definitely give it our all
and show them our idol spirit!
Amazing!
School Idols,,, are so amazing!
I can't believe we're the only ones watching this Love Live!
That's just,,, unacceptable!
[RIKO] Chika?
Uh?
I've got it!
I finally understand our new Aqours!
[STUDENTS chattering]
[YOU] Wow, now that I think about it,
this is the very first time we've ever had to create
a stage from scratch, It's been interesting,
I agree,
It's symbolic,
It represents our new beginning,
[MUTSU] Just gotta finish this and we'll be done!
Thank you, Mu! Are you girls having fun?
--[MUTSU] Yep! --[ITSUKO] The last time
we built something together was when the school closed,
[YOSHIMI] We're determined to prove that Uranohoshi's clubs
are also worthy of being proud of!
Hard to believe we're gonna sing up there,
I can't wait for it,
I'm nervous!
No wait, I'm not,
Me either, wonder why?
Maybe,,, It's because we've all grown a little bit,
[HANAMARU] Good point, zura!
[RUBY] Thanks!
[MUTSU] Chika, why don't you all head home?
[AQOURS gasp]
Yeah, we can take care of anything that's left to do,
Go and get some rest!
You've got a big performance, remember?
[YOU] But,,,
It'll be fine! Besides,
we have plenty of people that are willing to help out,
Right?
[ALL gasp]
The time has come,
Ah, looks like I can't avoid this after all,
Stay calm, zura,
Uh, Tsuki, What's going on?
After watching the live video, we all had a discussion,
Everyone here decided we want to help as much as we can!
Okay,,,
But what about your own clubs?
[TSUKI] We realized something,
Even our parents realized it,
Why do we have clubs in the first place?
Uh, I don't know,
They're meant to be fun,
Watching you, I realized just how much you truly love
being school idols,
That's something I believe we can learn from,
After seeing Saint Snow, and everyone in Aqours,
I've come to realize that,
So thank you girls,
Uh-huh! Exactly,
We're doing this 'cause we want to!
Yeah, so don't worry about it,
Right! We're more than happy to help you out,
Please leave it to us!
Fine, Okay,
Thank you, We really appreciate it!
[RIKO] What do you wanna do?
Practice, or something else?
[YOU] Uh,,, I'm sure we could, but,,,
Dunno, That's a tough one,
Hey, question,
Does anyone know how long Mari and the others will be in town?
[KANAN] Once we've seen you ladies make a start,
we'll probably leave,
So we can chase our dreams,
That's right!
[RUBY] It's my sis!
[RIKO] Wow, this is a surprise,
Well, since we're here, Do you wanna go somewhere together?
[GIRLS] Huh?!
[DIA] All nine of us,
[KANAN] Come to think of it, the bus stop's no longer here,
[RIKO] Now that the school's closed,
there's not much of a need for it,
[MARI] It's getting dark earlier and earlier these days,
[YOU] This place feels so nostalgic,
[RIKO] It seems like only yesterday that we were all here,
[DIA] We took this path every single day,
[KANAN] It's strange,
but I've kind of missed this place, you know?
[HANAMARU gasps]
[GIRLS laugh]
[DIA] It's not that surprising,
considering all that happened here,
It was always so busy and full of life,
What you mean to say is it was noisy, isn't that right?
Well sure, says the noisiest person ever, zura,
Whatever!
Last I checked you're not exactly quiet either, Zuramaru!
[RUBY] We had so much fun,
[CHIKA] Hey, Why did we come here?
Oh, I just felt like it, I suppose,
Well I guess if you can hear it, you know it's still here, zura!
[ALL laughing]
[ALL gasp]
It's open,
[CHIKA] Don't worry,
It won't disappear,
Not Uranohoshi Girl's High School,
Or the playground,
The library,,, The roof,,,
The club room,
Definitely not the sea and sandy beaches,
The bus stop,
The sun,
The ships and sky,
The mountains and this whole town,
[CHIKA] Or Aqours,
Let's go home,
Everything we love, that's special and dear to us--
it's not going anywhere,
I'm positive, It won't ever become zero,
We'll carry it all with us,
as a part of ourselves,
No matter where we go in life,
the memories we've made will always remain,
That's why,,,
,,,when we start, it's never from zero,
[RIKO] We'll begin, and move forward, one step at a time,
Always climbing higher,
[YOU] That's true,
Even if it feels like we're going backwards,,,
[YOSHIKO] ,,,we're not,
Because our accomplishments move us forward,
[RUBY] Everything will work out,
In my heart, I truly believe that!
[HANAMARU] There are days when reality is harsh,
[MARI] And there are days where our dreams don't come true,
but that's okay!
[KANAN] Because even if we stumble and go back toward zero,
[DIA] We'll still have all the precious memories and treasures
that live inside our hearts!
[CHIKA panting]
[CHIKA] These things will never, ever disappear!
Uh?
Ha,,,!
[CHIKA] The blue bird has flown over the rainbow,
I know,,, we can do this!
[STUDENTS chattering]
[RUBY] Attention everyone!
Hello!
Thank you for coming! We are the Uranohoshi,
Uh, I mean the ex-Uranohoshi School Idols, Aqours!
In just a few moments, we'll be performing a live show on stage
at the South Exit, We're super excited,
And we can wait to show you what the brand new Aqours looks like!
We appreciate your support!
[applause]
Okay, Ready to do this thing?
For everyone we love,,,
,,,we'll put our hearts in it,
Our very souls!
Let's go sing to them,,,
,,,the first song of the new Aqours!
One,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five,
And six!
Seven,
Eight,
Nine!
Did you hear that?
[GIRLS grunt]
[CHIKA] From the start to the end--
together with everyone,
To the future and beyond!
Aqours,,,
[AQOURS] ,,,Sunshine!
[GIRL A] Come on, hurry up!
[GIRL B] Wait a second!
[GIRL A panting] We made it!
[GIRL B] Reminds me when we used to go swimming
when we were little,
Anyway, why'd we come here?
[GIRL A] Because this is sacred ground, duh!
[GIRL B] Sacred what now?
[GIRL A gasps] Didn't you see the live in Numazu?
Where've you been?
[GIRL A] Know what? When I go into high school,
I 100% wanna be a school idol!
[GIRL B] This again?
[GIRL A] Everyone looks super sparkly,
I just wanna shine too, okay?
[GIRL B sighs] In that case,
What name do you think we should use?
[GIRL A] Well,,,
What about,,,
[CHIKA] Aqours,,,
[AQOURS] ,,,Sunshine!
