Love Live! Sunshine!! (2016–2017): Season 1, Episode 4 - Their Feelings - full transcript

Since I was little, I was a quiet girl
who played off to the side.

I wasn't good at sports
and was a tree in the school play.

So gradually, I got used
to playing by myself,

and I fell in love with reading.

Before I knew it, the
library became my retreat,

and always expanded my imagination

with the books I read there.

After finishing a book,
I would feel a little pang of loneliness,

but I believed that as long as
I had books, I'd be okay.

Huh?

"Idol Magazine"

She's Ruby Kurosawa.

She's my dear friend.

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

"School Idol Club"

All right!

Well, I can't believe
the club was actually approved.

"#4 Two Girls' Feelings"

We don't even have enough members.

It's fine since the director okayed it.

She okayed it...

--Approved!
--...and was super enthusiastic about it.

But why is she helping us out like this?

Maybe she likes school idols.

That can't be the only reason why...

Anyway, let's go inside!

Whoa!

She did say to
clean the room up before using it.

All of this?!

Nothing will get done
if you just complain about it.

Aw...

Hm?

Huh? There's writing here.

Maybe they're lyrics.

Why would they be there?

I don't know.

At any rate...

I knew it. They have a clubroom!

The School Idol Club's been approved!

That's great!

Yup! I get to watch more performances.

Hello!

Oh, Hanamaru-chan!

And...

...Ruby-chan!

I'm surprised you knew she was there.

H-Hello.

So cute!

These were in the clubroom.

Are they from the library?

Yes, I think they are.

Thank you--

Welcome to the School Idol Club!

Chika-chan...

We formed a group and
are a club now. You won't regret it!

You two would sparkle
if you sang. I'm sure of it!

Ah... well, but...

O-Ora--

--Ora?
--Ah, I mean...

I'm not good at that kind of thing.

I-I'm not either.

Chika-chan, you're being so pushy.
I feel sorry for them.

Yeah. They're first years
who just started high school.

Oh, yeah.

They're so cute, I couldn't help it.

Chika-chan, we should start practicing.

Oh, right. See you!

School idol, huh?

Don't you want to be one?

Huh?

But...

Dia-san?

Yup. Sis used to like school idols.

We'd copy μ's and sing and stuff.

But a little after she started high school...

--Put that away.
--Hm?

Get that out of my sight.

I see.

Actually, I have to hate them now, too.

Why's that?

I can't keep liking things
that Sis can't stand the sight of.

And...

And...?

Are you interested in being
a school idol, Hanamaru-chan?

Me?! No way. I'm not athletic,
and I say "ora" because of my dialect.

Then, I'm fine not doing it, too.

That was great!

--The fish were so pretty.
--Thank you very much.

Please come again.

Yes, yours make me feel secure, Kanan.

Wha-- Mari!

Kanan! Shiny!

What are you doing here, out of the blue?

I'm here to scout you.

Scout me?

You'll be a school idol once you return
from your school leave...

at Uranohoshi!

You're serious?

If I weren't, I wouldn't have come back.

Stubborn as a pig, as usual.

I think it's Hanayo-chan for me.

It's absolutely Eli-chi for me.

Student council president
and school idol! She's so cool!

"School Idol μ's"

"Special Edition for the 2nd
Love Live's Winning Group"

"Special Edition for
the 2nd Love Live's Winning Group"

"--9 Members to Love Live!"

"School Idol Special Editions"

μ's, huh.

"The Miracle That Led
the 9 Members to Love Live!"

It's impossible for me, zura.

Hm?

"Angel Encyclopedia"

The advent of Zuramaru! Why is she even here?

I can't... it's impossible.

But! μ's climbed stairs to train.

"Keep going!"

They're so long, though...

My body won't last if I climb this every day.

Chika.

Kanan-chan!

Did you run all the way up?

Yeah. I have to do it every day.

Every day?!

I didn't expect you guys
to be here. What are you doing?

We have to train.
You know, since we're school idols.

Oh... I see.

Well, keep it up!

I have to go open the store.

She's not even out of breath.

I guess there's always
someone better than you.

Let's also... get going!

What?! Become a school idol?

Yup!

Why?

Well, I want to try it out. Bad idea?

Not at all!

It's just that I thought
you weren't interested.

Well, when I was watching them with you,
I thought it'd be nice.

So, will you try it out with me?

--Me, too?!
--You want to try, don't you?

I do, but I'm pretty shy,
and I don't think Sis would like it.

I see. Then, why don't we do this?

Trial... period?

Love Live! Sunshine!!

Really?!

--Yes.
--Thank you very much!

Yay! Yay!

Yay!

We'll win Love Live now. We'll be legends!

Wait, Chika-chan.
They're only here for a trial period.

Huh?

It means they're not formal
members yet and are trying it out.

If they like it, they'll join.
If not, they'll leave.

Is that true?

Well, yeah. Our situation is, uh...

Is it because of the
student council president?

Er, yes. So, please keep it
a secret that we're here.

There! Done!

"Shine! School Idol Club Recruiting!!"
"Newest members:
Hanamaru Kunikida, Ruby Kurosawa"

Chika-chan. Let's listen
when other people talk.

Huh?

Then, it'd be best for
you to join our practice.

"Lesson Schedule"

--Oh.
--Wow!

"Dance Lessons" "Warm-up"
"Physical Fitness Training"
"Voice Training" "Lesson Schedule"

I made this looking at
other blogs of other school idols.

What about composing songs?

We'll have to find a separate time for that.

Practice for a real school idol!

But, where will we practice?

Oh...

Both the courtyard and field are taken.

The clubroom isn't very big, either.

We can't practice at the beach?

Considering the amount of time
it'd take to travel,

I'd like to secure a practice area at school.

What about the rooftop?

The rooftop?

μ's always practiced on the rooftop.

Oh, yeah!

The rooftop, huh!

Let's check it out!

Wow! It's amazing!

You can see Mt. Fuji so clearly.

The sunlight might be a little much for me.

The sunlight's the best!

We can soak up the rays of sunlight

and take deep lungfuls of ocean air.

It's warm.

It is.

This feels great, zura.

Hanamaru-chan?

All right. Let's start.

Okay, let's go. Aqours!

Sunshine!

One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

--I did it.
--Amazing, Ruby-chan!

I did it, Chika-sempai!

Oh... huh?

One more time, Chika-chan.

You were supposed to have them done today.

I couldn't think of anything.

--What's the matter?
--Couldn't think of anything?

--What's the matter?
--Come on...

--Oh, we're writing a new song.
--You should keep your promises.

Tell me if you come up
with anything, Hanamaru-chan.

Okay...

We're going to climb straight up?!

Of course!

We actually always rest in the middle.

In order to dance for multiple songs,

we need the stamina it
takes to run up to the top.

All right! Let's aim to be like μ's!

Ready, go!

"Keep going"

"Take breaks and don't overexert yourself"

Hanamaru-chan...

I don't think I can...

What's wrong?

I'm a little out of breath.
Please go on without me.

Don't overdo it.

Ruby-chan?

Let's go together.

No.

You have to keep running.

Hanamaru-chan?

You should care more about your own feelings.

Lying to yourself

and doing what other people want
you to do will just hurt you.

I don't mean to do that...

Don't you want to be a school idol?

Yeah...

Then, you need to keep going forward.

Now, go ahead.

B-But...

Go on.

Okay!

The girl who spent time in the library

with me was very kind and considerate.

But, she cared too much.

All of her wonderful dreams and
sparkling aspirations were shut in her heart.

"Love Live! 5th Year Anniversary Edition"

I always wanted to wrench
the door to her heart open.

To let the light crammed in there...

--You're almost there!
--You can do it!

...reach every corner of the world,
and let it shine

into the blue sky.

That was my dream.

I did it. I did it!

You're amazing, Ruby-chan.

Look!

Wow!

We did it! We got to the very top!

Well?

What did you call me out here for?

Er, please listen to what Ruby-chan
has to say about her feelings.

Ruby's?

I already know...

Sis?

Ruby?

Dia-san, what are you doing here?

What is the meaning of this?

Uh, well, that is...

--No, Ruby's not--
--Chika-san.

Sis...

I... you see...

That's great.

Her hope finally came true.

What are you talking about?

"Club Application"
"Ruby Kurosawa" "School Idol Club"

Please let me join.

Welcome to the club!

Thanks! I'll do my best!

Oh, what about Kunikida-san?

And so, my story ends here.

Because, my dream has come true.

I'm returning to the world of books.

I'm fine by myself.

"Love Live! 5th Year Anniversary Edition"

"Rin"

Bye-bye.

I...

Ruby-chan?

I noticed, you know!

I thought maybe you wanted to be

a school idol because you
were being considerate of me!

I was worried that you were
overworking yourself because of me!

But,

during practice, when we were on the rooftop,

and when we were all talking,

you looked happy, Hanamaru-chan.

And that's when I thought,

maybe you like school idols
too, as much as I do!

Me? No way.

Then, why were you reading that book so much?

That's because...

"Rin Hoshizora"

I've always wanted
to become a school idol with you!

And we could work hard together!

Oh, it's impossible for me, zura.

I don't have the stamina. It's not for me.

Rin-chan in the picture also didn't think
she was fit to be a school idol.

"Rin"

But, she loved it.

She wanted to try it.

I think it's fine to start off that way.

I want to be a school idol
with you, Hanamaru-chan!

Can I do it?

It's the same for me.

It's not if you can or can't do it.

What matters is if you want to do it.

All right. Let's go.

Ready, go!

"Uranohoshi Girls' High School"

4999th place?

So, there are five thousand
other school idol groups above us?

That's a lot.

Now! Let's go running!

Yeah!

"The Miracle That Led
the 9 Members to Love Live!"

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!

Next time, "Yohane Descends."
