Hajimari wa Kimi no Sora~11 Ver.~

This is how the Love Live! Superstar!! saga ended. The song that started it all is the same song that ended it.

Hajimari wa Kimi no Sora~11 Ver.~
Hajimari wa Kimi no Sora~11 Ver.~

Liella!'s journey began with this song and ended with the same song. In the series finale, the debut song was enhanced with the new 11-member version. Fans who witnessed the end of Liella's story now get to listen to this song from start to finish.

Those who've already pre-ordered it will receive a chance to win a ticket for the "Love Live! Superstar!! Liella! 6th LoveLive! Tour ~Let's be ONE~" Miyagi Performance Day.2.

Zettaiteki LOVER/Dazzling Game

In the middle stages of the final season of "Love Live! Superstar!!," the rivalry between Liella and TomaKanoTe momentarily paused when Tang Keke returned to her hometown of Shanghai. The girls were summoned to Shanghai to perform at the city's school idol festival. During this event, it was revealed that Keke's future after graduating from Yuigaoka Girls' High School had been determined. As a result, both teams performed in front of an enthusiastic Chinese audience. While this could signal the potential for a unified Liella, it's not quite definitive yet. Back at Yuigaoka, during the school's festival, the showdown sparks the beginning of a newly unified Liella.

The songs heard from episodes six and eight from the final season of "Love Live! Superstar!!" have arrived and this is your only way to listen to the latest insert songs from the latest adventure.

FUUTO PI: Kamen Rider Skull no Shouzou

FUUTO PI, the animated continuation of the 2009 Kamen Rider TV series, Kamen Rider W, returns, this time at the cinemas as the trio are facing their most daring case yet.

FUUTO PI: Kamen Rider Skull no Shouzou

FUUTO PI: Kamen Rider Skull no Shouzou, the movie continuation of the FUUTO PI anime series, picks up moments from the TV anime where Shutaro Hidari and Phillip are gripping themselves in the shadows of Shokichi Narumi, better known as Kamen Rider Skull.

The most shadowy Rider from Kamen Rider W finally made his anime appearance. Apart from his long-awaited return to the world of FUUTO PI, the suspense and drama truly overshadowed the duo's hard-boiled atmosphere, where the fun stops and the terror begins. For Kamen Rider W fans, this movie is the ultimate in suspense and action.

As the FUUTO PI manga series nears its climax, this movie clearly reminds them that it is a blessing and a curse for those who are extreme fans of the Kamen Rider W saga. It is a sign of things to come.

Nijigasaki High School Idol Club Kanketsu-hen Chapter 1

Yes, everybody knows you are starting to miss the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club ever since, well, you get the idea. Since the whole world's missing them so much, the girls are back in the first chapter of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club movie trilogy that will serve as the true ending for the girls' adventure.

Nijigasaki High School Idol Club Kanketsu-hen Chapter 1
Nijigasaki High School Idol Club
Kanketsu-hen Chapter 1

The Nijigasaki High School Idol Club is back in its first theatrical outing, "Nijigasaki High School Idol Club Kanketsu-hen Chapter 1". It's the first chapter of the movie trilogy that will serve as the true ending for the girls' adventure. The girls are in Okinawa, taking on a new challenge; the School Idol GPX (Grand Prix). Ayumu Uehara, Kasumi Nakasu, Shizuku Osaka, Kanata Konoe, Emma Verde, and Zhong Lanzhu are chosen to take part in the event where school idols across Japan clash to become "the most popular school idol right now".

This movie features signature moments fans have come to expect from the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club: comical mischief, dramatic moments, and the cream of the crop: musical sequences. Trust them, it's the musical performances that the fans are clamoring for after moments of being distanced. It's proof that no matter what happens, the Nijigasaki girls are here to stay.

The Okinawa setting is a turning point for this movie. It's the first time a Love Live movie has been set on its home soil. When you watch an anime show or movie, you usually see a selection of beautiful landscape photographs. This movie is one of those. When fans enjoyed watching the movie, they were inspired to rush to the locations they saw in the movie and take pictures to share with the world. That's the spirit of touring, not just the Nijigasaki way, but the Love Live way.

Similar to 2018's Love Live! Sunshine!! The School Idol Movie, no two post-credits sequences are the same because this movie features different post-credits sequences. True Love Live fanatics must re-watch this movie every day to experience the entire post-credits sequences. Sounds hard but it's worth the shot.

Their first movie adventure is a must-see for fans, especially those who missed them. It has comedy, drama, music, and the usual Nijigasaki moments. Don't expect anything in return, but be prepared for what comes next!

Great to have you back, girls. Bring it on!

How to dress as one of the Liella girls (One more time...honest.)

I have some great news for all the Love Live! fans out there: the Liella girls are back! The third season of Love Live! Super Star!! will be coming to NHK ETV on October 6, 2024. In an exciting first for the Love Live! TV anime franchise, this season will bring the girls' adventures to a thrilling conclusion. But first, they'll have to face off against their biggest threat yet: Wien Margarete, the rival school idol who was defeated by Liella! She's transferred to Yuigaoka Girls High with one thing on her mind: revenge! 

I'm so excited to see how this plays out. The Liella girls are sure to give it their all, and I can't wait to see how they handle this intense new challenge. Mark your calendars for October 6th and get ready for the most dramatic season of Love Live! Super Star!! yet!

Anyway, in anticipation of the most dramatic chapter in the Love Live! Super Star!! saga ever told, it's time to teach you how to be one of your favorite Liella girls for one last time. Honest.

Love Live! SuperStar!!
Love Live! SuperStar!!

As Kanon Shibuya - Kanon Shibuya is a humble and free-spirited young girl who aspires to become a school idol. She's the brainchild of the school idol group Liella! Becoming Kanon Shibuya is an easy task. You'll need a semi-long orange hair sized enough to be tweaked to Kanon's style. With that sorted, put on the Yuigaoka Girls High School uniform and you're ready.

As Tang Keke - Hailed from Shanghai, Tang Keke is a close friend of Kanon who has a fistful of ideas. A short sand-colored hair should do the trick but don't forget to put some pink highlights on it and then match the bangs to Keke's style. With that hairstyle done, time to put on the Yuigaoka Girls High School uniform and you're Tang Keke!

As Chisato Arashi - Chisato Arashi is Kanon's childhood friend and a talented dancer who wants to impress Kanon. The long white hair is the starting point for your Chisato Arashi cosplay and to match her hairstyle, you'll need to give it some pigtails and then some round bits on the upper sides. With the hairstyle done and the uniform set, you're now Chisato Arashi.

As Sumire Heanna - Sumire Heanna is a klutzy sassy girl who gets into all sorts of mess easily. Just a long blond hair and a red hairband should do the trick and with the uniform set, you're now Sumire Heanna. Galaxy!

As Ren Hazuki - Ren Hazuki is a conservative type who despises being a school idol at first but a change of heart prompted her to join Liella. Long black hair ponytailed, this is the only thing you'll do if you want to be Ren Hazuki, and with the uniform ready, you're good to go.

As Kinako Sakurakoji - Kinako Sakurakoji may be an absent-minded school girl but she's brimming with excitement. To become Kinako, you'll need long dark brown hair to start with. Then, give the rear part some braids and then finish it with long twin tails. After that, put on the school uniform and you're now Kinako Sakurakoji!

As Mei Yoneme - Mei Yoneme is an aggressive type who's not good at talking about herself. Her connection with Shiki Wakana is a bit complicated. A short red hair should do the trick and then give it some side buns to your left while trying to match Mei's hairstyle. With the hairstyle done and the uniform set, you're now Mei Yoneme.

As Shiki Wakana - Shiki Wakana is a self-proclaimed genius who excels in science. She can be down-to-earth and quiet most of the time but her connection with Mei Yoneme is complicated. A short blue hair is enough to do the trick and with the uniform ready, you're now Shiki Wakana. The lab coat is optional.

As Natsumi Onitsuka - Natsumi Onitsuka is a content creator who is also a smoothie fanatic. To become Natsumi, you'll need long blond hair to work with, then give it some pink gradients, twin tails, and a white flower hair accessory to finish it off. With the hairstyle done and the uniform set, you're now Natsumi Onitsuka. Just get your vlogging gear and your favorite smoothie ready just in case.

As Wien Margarete - Hailing from Austria and enrolled at a prestigious talent academy somewhere, Wien Margarate was once the most powerful rival school idol the Liella girls faced. Having lost to Liella and Kanon remaining undecided over the proposal to study overseas, Wien has no choice...but to transfer to Yuigaoka Girls High School for one purpose; to destroy the Liella girls from within. Being Wien, you must have a long lavender-colored wig. The braids at the top front are slightly challenging to replicate so you need to be delicate and precise to match Wien's hairstyle. With that sorted, Wien Margarete is indebted to you.

As Tomari Onitsuka - Tomari Onitsuka, recently enrolled at Yuigaoka as a first-year, is the sister of Natsumi Onitsuka. She may be different compared to her sister but...could she be the key person to mediate the fresh feud between Liella and Wien Margarete? Being Tomari is a tricky feat because you'll need to find a long turquoise-colored wig to start with. With the wig prepped, you'll need the patience to replicate Tomari's twirly twin tails. It's a big job but if you execute it with no issues, you'll be Tomari Onitsuka in no time.

...and here you go. How to be one of the Liella girls!

Whether you’re a fan of the original five members, the second batch from Season 2, or the recently added two members for Season 3, there’s a Liella girl out there for everyone. I can’t wait to see you try.

Good luck and...OniNatsu!!!

As Mieru Himeno - Mieru Himeno is a pretty, talkative, and positive idol singer who has a weakness for cute staff as some claim. Anyway, to become Mieru, you first need long pink hair. That's a beginner's task but the tricky part is to replicate her hairstyle. Her braided side parts feature two big red bows and four white small ones each, totaling four big red ones and eight white small ones. The end parts of her pink hair are twirly so do your best not to mess them up. With that sorted, you are now Mieru Himeno. Feel free to decide on the outfits she wore from her campus escapades.

As Meh Mamimu - Meh Mamimu looks like a mysterious cool beauty but she is calm and friendly when she speaks. If you want to cosplay Meh Mamimu from Aikatsu, it's easy to do. Just get short silver hair with a lot of volume and two black faux hibiscus flowers for the hair accessories. No sweat, right?

As Parin Wao - Parin Wao is an energetic leader and an active girl who loves games and fun. Wao's hairstyle is no doubt the most difficult to replicate. She boasts an extra long sky blue hair with orange insides. Replicating the two ribbons from her hair is extremely difficult as it requires professional help from someone you know, although the pigtail from her left takes four rubber bands to match the look. The thin rear tails feature two orange and one blue small bows each. There are other hair accessories as well such as two ribbons, the orange and the blue, a red oval hairpin, a yellow ribbon hairpin, and a green X hairpin. With the herculean task of replicating her hairstyle sorted, you're now officially Parin Wao.
