Last time on, Love Live! Sunshine!!
Chika-san invited Hanamaru-chan and I to be school idols.
You two would sparkle if you sang.
I wanted to be a school idol, but I was worried about what Sis would think.
So, Hanamaru-chan said...
Don't you want to be a school idol?
Then, you need to keep going forward.
Then, Hanamaru-chan also joined.
It's not if you can or can't do it. What matters is if you want to do it.
Now Aqours has five members!
I can feel it.
The spiritual barriers have been damaged, altering the magical balance.
The course of the world hangs on a decision from heaven.
"Good work" "So cuteee" "Too suspicious" "Yohane's the bestttt" "hahahaha" "I'll come again."
Fallen angel Yohane, who descended upon the promised land,
foresees all with demon eyes!
I will bestow upon all my little demons...
...the powers of the fallen!
"Broadcast ended."
I can't believe I did it!
What's with the fallen angel?!
Who the heck is Yohane?!
Little demons?! Satan?!
Do they exist?!
Yeah, right!
You're in high school now, Yoshiko Tsushima!
It's time to stop this nonsense.
Yes, this world is reality. Reality is justice!
I'll become satisfied with my life in reality!
Do you want to make a deal
with fallen angel, Yohane, and become my little demon?
Ah, why did I even say that?!
I can't go to school!
Chasing down the path of a dream I've never seen
Shining Road
This feeling of being off to the races
I searched for you energetically, straight and true
No way we can wait one second, let's leap out there
The courage we have in us is clamoring
The everyday world takes new doors
(More) And hides them
(Let's go!) I want to open them all
Come on, let's do it together!
I want to start it! My story! (Here, now's the time)
Blue skies are waiting
Hug that dream tight, and Jumping Heart
Just with that, I can move on to tomorrow, youth full speed ahead?!
From when it began (Sunshine Story)
Cherish that thrill in our hearts always
We'll go out to catch our dreams
Not knowing what might happen is part of the fun
Aw... we didn't go up much today, either.
"#5 Yohane Descends"
"Uranohoshi Girls' High School Idol Club"
We were in 4856th place yesterday and are in 4768th place today.
Well, we haven't gone down.
Our songs have good reviews.
And they say our two new members are cute!
It says that?
Hanamaru-chan's popularity is especially high.
I'm cheering for Hanamaru-chan.
I can't wait to see Hanamaru-chan singing.
See? See? You're a hit!
--Th-This is a computer? --What?!
Is this what they call the internet that gives access to a sea of knowledge?
Yeah... I don't know if it's a sea of knowledge, though.
Wow!
Hasn't Hanamaru-chan used a computer before?
Actually, she lives in an old temple that doesn't have many electronics.
I see.
We went to Numazu the other day, and...
This faucet has no knob, zura.
Woah!
It's the future, zura!
It's the future, zura, Ruby-chan!
--Yup. --Can I touch it?
Of course.
Zura!
What did you press just now?
Huh? Oh...
There was just one button that was lit up, so...
--Is it okay? --Did I save the files for our costumes?
D-Did I do something bad?
Don't worry, it's fine.
Wow! This sea of knowledge is Kobo-Daishi worthy!
Yup. I'm going to switch windows now.
Amazing, zura!
Come on, we're supposed be practicing now!
It can wait a little.
Anyway, we've got to do something about our ranking.
There are more and more school idols every year.
Especially because we're out here in the boonies.
Plain! And plain! And plain!
Just plain school idols.
Do we have to stand out somehow?
Our popularity is important.
How can we stand out?
Hm...
What about renaming ourselves with something more eccentric?
Eccentric as in, "Three Mermaids"?
Oh, it's five now!
Five Mermaids!
We are...
The Five Mermaids!
Why do you keep bringing that up?
Wait, we can't dance with those fins!
Maybe we can say that if they cheer for us, our fins will turn to legs!
Oh, I kind of like that set up.
But, we'll exchange them for our voices.
That wouldn't work!
I told you to forget that name, didn't I?
The Little Mermaid is such a tragic tale.
Yes.
What are you talking about?!
I suggested that name on a whim!
Hm, what was it again? Three... Three Mermaids?
Why are there people here already?
Yoshiko-chan?
Zurama--!
Sneak away.
Wanna stop by the convenience store?
Sounds good.
I've abruptly descended from the rooftop.
You came to school, zura.
Came to school? I just happened to pass by and decided to drop by.
Happened to?
That doesn't really matter.
Nevermind that. What have people in class been saying?
Huh?
Saying about me! Like saying, "she's weird," or "who's Yohane,"
or "she said 'little demon,' how dumb" or something!
Well...
I can tell there are rumors about me from your reaction!
Right? It's because I said all those weird things.
It's the end, oh Ragnarok.
It truly is dead or alive.
I think that means live or die, zura.
Anyway, nobody cares about it.
Right?
What?
Rather, people are asking why you aren't coming
and wondering if they did something mean.
Really?
Yup.
It's really true?
You swear it's true? Cross your heart and hope that
you'll fall from the heavens?
--Zura. --All right! I can still do it.
I can still start over!
If I can live as a normal student from now on!
Zuramaru!
What, zura?!
Yohane has an urgent request for you.
--Morning. --Hey.
Yes, they're watching.
As Hanamaru said, nobody remembers what I said before.
All right!
Morning!
M-Morning...
You seem so different, I'm a little surprised.
We were all talking about why you weren't coming to school.
Sorry. I'll be coming to school now. Hope we can be friends.
Same here! What was your first name again, Tsushima-san?
--Huh? --You don't remember? It's uh...
What was it? Yo... Yo... Yoha--
Yo-shi-ko. My name's Yoshiko Tsushima.
Yes, that's right.
Tsushima-san came to school, huh.
Zura! Because I promised to fulfill her request, zura.
--Request? --Monitor you?
Yes. When I'm careless, the fallen angel always comes out. So...
She asked me to stop her if things started to get risky.
The fallen angel will come out?
Tsushima-san, you have any hobbies?
Hobbies?! N-Not really.
Wait, this is my chance to fit in with the class.
I'll make them like me more.
I-I do a little fortune telling.
Really? Will you tell my fortune?
Oh, mine too!
Sure!
Let's see...
We can do right here, 'kay?
Yay!
Huh?
I'm all set!
Here, will you light the candle?
Huh?!
Spirits that sprawl in the heavens and underworld,
I make a proclamation to your kin who have fallen to purgatory.
Lucifer, who baptized Asmodeus, join with fallen angel Yohane.
The time to descend has come!
I did it again!
Why didn't you stop me?!
It was going so smoothly, too!
I didn't think you brought that stuff with you, zura.
What's she talking about?
I just heard about it earlier, too.
During middle school, Yoshiko-chan was convinced she was a fallen angel.
A fallen angel descended from the heavens. I'm fallen angel, Yohane!
Let us all descend together!
She hasn't broken the habit yet.
I know... that there's no way I'm a fallen angel.
They don't even exist.
Then, why did you bring those things to school?
Those, well... make up Yohane's identity.
If I didn't have those, I wouldn't be able to be myself!
I'm starting to understand that you're in a complicated stage right now.
That's right. She actually does fortune telling on the internet.
Oh?
Descend with Yohane again.
Stop! I just wanna be a normal high school student!
Do something!
Zura...
You're cute.
Look at this! This is it!
"Fallen angel-sama----please descend" "So cuteee" "Too suspicious" "This was fun~~"
Chika-chan?
Yoshiko Tsushima-chan! No, fallen angel Yohane-chan!
Do you wanna be a school idol?
What?
Love Live! Sunshine!!
W-We're going to sing in these?
They're shorter than before.
If we dance in these, you'll definitely be able to see underneath.
It's okay!
Don't do that!
Is this really okay?
I searched for fallen angel idols and there aren't any.
They'd make a pretty strong impact.
That's true, because until yesterday, we wore that.
And now we're wearing these!
It's kind of embarrassing.
I'm not comfortable in this.
Hey, is it really okay to sing wearing these?
Aren't they cute?
That's not the problem here.
Yeah. Is it really okay?
It's fine! When we're on stage, we'll do our best to show
how charming a fallen angel can be!
The charm of a fallen angel?
No, we can't! People will definitely think it's lame.
It'll be fine. I'm sure!
A drop out from the heaven, fallen angel, Yohane!
I descend upon you!
They loved it.
I think... she'll join us.
I guess that's that.
There, there. Good boy.
Oh, you came to visit?
Stop, Shiitake!
Riko-chan?
Stop!
Get away!
You okay? Shiitake is well-behaved--
Riko-chan?!
Go away!
Woah, she's flying.
Wow!
Welcome home.
Thanks...
All right. I'll leave the costumes to you.
Aye aye!
We'll be going, too.
See you tomorrow.
Yup, see you!
Ow, still hurts.
Don't laugh! You better keep him on a leash next time!
Yeah, yeah.
Geez, do you find it funny when others are distressed?
No, that's not it.
I was just thinking how we all have different personalities.
Huh?
Well, I'm glad that we became a group.
But, I thought we were all plain and normal.
You were thinking about that?
Why wouldn't I? I started this whole thing, so I felt a sense of responsibility.
Even so, I'm not strong enough to pull everybody along.
Chika-chan...
But after talking to everyone, I slowly learned more about them
and realized we're not plain at all!
Each of us has our own personality and charm.
So, I'm sure it'll be fine!
You really are weird.
What?!
I've thought that since I met you.
What? Is that supposed to be a compliment or insult?
It's both!
What, I don't get it!
Anyway, let's do our best from here on.
Let's see what a bunch of plain and normal girls can do. Yeah?
I don't really get it... but, oh well.
Let's race home!
Hey, no fair! Oh, there's Shiitake!
--Huh?! --Kidding!
Hi! From the beaches of Izu, the long-awaited newcomer,
I'm Yohane.
Will you all... descend with me?
Will you?
I can't believe I did it.
Well?
Wait, I'm--
Woah, no way!
"Uranohoshi Girls' High School idol Club"
We just went way up!
Does that mean it worked?
So many comments, too! Wow!
I'll descend with Ruby-chan.
Ruby-chan's the best!
Ruby-chan's miniskirt is great.
Ruby-chan's smile...
Oh, that's too much.
I'm Yohane-sama's little demon number four, Ruby K-Kurosawa.
Will you dote upon the smallest demon?
Oh, what a pretty bomber head.
Pretty? What are you looking at?
This is what I call shameless!
Well, that was just our costume...
And we were acting...
That's why I asked you if you were sure about this.
I permitted Ruby to be a school idol in the first place,
because she expressed she wanted to do it in moderation.
Now you dress her in that and call all that attention to her--
I'm sorry, Sis.
Anyway, doing these things so you stand out
or to gain popularity by emphasizing
your personalities is something I will now allow!
Well, our rank did go up, though.
That was just a temporary gain.
Let's see what your ranking is now.
What?
"Uranohoshi Girls' High School Idol Club"
If you're serious about this, you should rethink
how you want to achieve your goal.
O-Okay.
We failed.
What Dia-san said was right.
Trying to be like μ's like that is rude to them.
It's not your fault, Chika-san.
I agree.
It was the fallen angel's fault.
Huh?
It doesn't work even as a high schooler.
--That's just-- --I feel like a weight's been lifted off me.
From tomorrow, I feel I can be a normal high schooler.
Then, what about being a school idol?
Hm...
I think I'll pass. I'll just cause you trouble.
Bye.
It was only for a little bit,
but thanks for playing along with the fallen angel thing.
I had fun.
Why did she want to be a fallen angel?
I think I know why.
She was probably always normal.
Just like us, she didn't stand out much.
Haven't you ever wondered before?
Is this the real me?
Or maybe I used to be a sparkling angel,
and by an off chance became like this.
I see.
I think I've felt that before.
In kindergarten, Yoshiko-chan always said,
I'm actually an angel!
I'll grow wings one day and return to the sky!
Zura!
Yeah.
This is how it should be.
Fallen angel, Yohane-chan!
Huh?
Do you want to be a school idol?
What?
Actually, please join Aqours, as fallen angel, Yohane.
What are you talking about? I told you yesterday. I'm--
It's fine to be a fallen angel.
If that's what you want, that's okay!
I can't.
Wait!
Didn't the student council president get mad, too?
Yeah, that was our fault.
You're fine the way you are, Yoshiko-chan.
What does that mean?
Excuse me!
You don't quit, huh?
After thinking it over, I now know how μ's became legendary,
and how they could connect school idols like they did.
Just cut it out, already!
On stage, they showed people what they loved without hesitation!
They didn't think about what people would think of them,
or if it would affect their popularity.
The most important thing is to show your favorite self--your shining self.
That's why you can't toss you aside, Yoshiko-chan!
As long as you love yourself as a fallen angel!
You sure? I'll say weird things.
That's okay.
I might do rituals and stuff sometimes.
We'll put up with those.
I might tell you to be my little demon!
Well, for that...
I'll say no if I don't like it!
So will you?
Mari-san!
What's the matter?
What is the meaning of your email?!
Well, it means exactly what it said.
You've got to be...
...kidding, right?
We steadily make our way outside, searching for something more
When you give things a try, you often find unexpected happiness
As we struggle, as we get laughed at
We won't give in or give up! Though we may cry a bit!
But that's fine, because our tomorrow's coming into view
Let's not tell our dreams in words; let's tell them in song
Because I think a song will convey how we feel right now
Putting dreams into words lets us put them into songs
This growing feeling is a series of favorite melodies
It's time to stop running away and move on to someplace new
Singing my song for my dream!
