Jump Into the New World

Love Live! SuperStar!!'s Liella school idol group has reached its ultimate form with the addition of two new members Wien Margarete (CV: Yuina) and Tomari Onitsuka (CV: Sakura Sakakura). With that, their first unit mini album came to fruition, giving them the chance to listen to the first songs of Liella's newly-formed sub-units.

Jump Into the New World

Liella's first unit mini album is titled Jump Into the New World and this album is a welcoming feast for the two new Liella girls as this album not only features the titular song but also the first six songs performed by three sub-units such as CatChu!, KALEIDOSCORE, and 5yncri5e!

CatChu! [Kanon Shibuya (CV. Sayuri Date), Sumire Heanna (CV. Naomi Payton), Mei Yomene (CV. Akane Yabushima)] will perform their first two songs titled オルタネイト and 影遊び while KALEIDOSCORE [Keke Tang (CV. Liyuu), Ren Hazuki (CV. Nagisa Aoyama), Wien Margarete (CV. Yuina)] will perform ベロア and 不可視なブルー, and 5yncri5e! [Chisato Arashi (CV. Nako Misaki), Kinako Sakurakoji (CV. Nozomi Suzuhara), Shiki Wakana (CV. Wakana Ookuma), Natsumi Onitsuka (CV. Aya Emori), Tomari Onitsuka (CV. Sakura Sakakura)] perform songs like Dancing Raspberry and A Little Love. There's no fighting about which one is the favorite, of course.

This unit mini album is the start of Liella's fit of peak as we can expect the biggest things to come from Yuigaoka Girls High School's finest school idols.

KAGAYAKI Don’t forget!

The Love Live! School Idol Festival ALL STARS app game will end its service at the end of June 2023 and to commemorate the app game's imminent end-of-life, the latest Nijigasaki High School Idol Club single has arrived. This is where everything ends and everything begins.

KAGAYAKI Don’t forget!
KAGAYAKI Don’t forget!

Nijigasaki's latest single is titled "KAGAYAKI Don’t forget!" and it features the full song as heard at the end of the final chapter of the final season of the game's story mode, a fitting send-off to the SIF All-Stars as the game nears its end of service. It's also the last song to feature former Setsuna Yuki seiyuu Tomori Kusunoki on it, a sign that everything ends on it.

Aside from the main song, this single comes with an additional song titled "Sugar Sugar Yummy Yummy Parfait" and it's the first song to feature incoming Setsuna Yuki seiyuu Coco Hayashi on it, a sign that everything begins.

Everything ends and everything begins. This is what Nijigasaki's latest single is all about. Waving goodbye to the SIF ALL STARS app game as well as Tomori Kusunoki's role as Setsuna Yuki of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club is an arduous thing to do but despite the heartbreaks following the departure of two things that made them, the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club will live on because you can still enjoy with them in the new Love Live! School Idol Festival 2 Miracle Live app game.

The pictures and voices of them are what made the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club the group fans loved the world over and here's hoping for more future endeavors. Although this is goodbye to the SIF All-Stars game, it's not goodbye to the girls.

KAGAYAKI Don’t forget!

List of Love Live seiyuus who were in the Pretty Series

It's April Fools Day of 2023 and on this day, Coco Hayashi from the recently disbanded Run Girls, Run! took over the role of Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club's Setsuna Yuki from the recently outgoing Tomori Kusunoki, really caught the world by surprise because Setsuna's new CV played the role of Mirai Momoyama from Kiratto PriChan while Tomori also starred in the said show as Mirai's little sister Hikari. What a shocker, huh?

is now played by Coco Hayashi

Turns out they're not the only ones involved in both the Love Live series and the nearly defunct Pretty Series (yes, I just said that because they've stopped making new animes since the Waccha PriMagi! series finale). There are others as well and with that, it's time for a little project; a quick list of the Love Live seiyuus who were in the Pretty Series. Just the big ones.

  • Aya Uchida - In the Love Live series, she played Kotori Minami from the original Love Live! series. In the Pretty Series, she played Hina Yayoi from Waccha PriMagi!
  • Suzuko Mimori - In the Love Live series, she played Umi Sonoda from the original Love Live! series. In the Pretty Series, she played Anju Shiratori from Kiratto PriChan.
  • Riho Iida - In the Love Live series, she played Rin Hoshizora from the original Love Live! series. In the Pretty Series, she played Amari Katasumi from Idol Land PriPara.
  • Sora Tokui - In the Love Live series, she played Nico Yazawa from the original Love Live! series. In the Pretty Series, she played Suzu Kurokawa from Kiratto PriChan.
  • Miyu Kubota - In the Love Live series, she played Karin Asaka from Nijigasaki High School Idol Club. In the Pretty Series, she played Sophy Hojo from PriPara and Emo Moegi from Kiratto PriChan. Oh yeah, Kubota's a member of i☆Ris, the group that did the theme songs for the PriPara anime.
  • Tomori Kusunoki - As said, she used to play the role of Setsuna Yuki from Nijigasaki High School Idol Club before she retired at the end of March 2023. In the Pretty Series term, she played Hikari Momoyama, the little sister of Mirai Momoyama from Kiratto PriChan.
  • Coco Hayashi - A member of the now-disbanded Run Girls, Run!, Coco took over the role of Setsuna Yuki from Nijigasaki High School Idol Club from Tomori Kusunoki on April Fools Day 2023. In the Pretty Series term, she played Mirai Momoyama from Kiratto PriChan.
  • Mayu Sagara - In the Love Live series, she played Kasumi Nakasu from Nijigasaki High School Idol Club. In the Pretty Series, she played Miruki Amauri from Waccha PriMagi!
  • Maria Sashide - In the Love Live series, she played Emma Verde from Nijigasaki High School Idol Club. In the Pretty Series, she played Eve Kagayaki from Kiratto PriChan.
...and there you have it. A list of Love Live seiyuus who were in the Pretty Series. It's hard to imagine why both of these franchises poach each other's voiceovers for their idol girls. Oh well. With the Pretty Series we know is dead and gone after Waccha PriMagi, looks like the Love Live series is going to end up poaching Pretty Series seiyuus for their next projects. The question now is...who's next?!

The Blue Swell

What happens when you turn most of Aqours' greatest hits into rock versions? This rearranged album.

The Blue Swell

The Blue Swell is an arranged album where the greatest hits from Aqours are given the rock treatment, which is unorthodox by Love Live standards because these rock versions of your favorite Aqours songs reminded us of...something you know.

Anyway, this album features ten rock versions of Aqours hits such as Kimi no Kokoro wa Kagayaiteru kai?, Koi ni Naritai AQUARIUM, Aozora Jumping Heart, and more.

Experience your favorite Aqours hits as you've never heard before with the added rock n roll twist. Just don't ask the other ones because this is one heck of an idol girl riot regarding this.

TRACKLIST:

01. 君のこころは輝いてるかい?Hard Rock Ver.
02. 恋になりたいAQUARIUM Unplugged Rock Ver.
03. 青空Jumping Heart Heavy Metal Ver.
04. ユメ語るよりユメ歌おう Cute Rock Ver.
05. HAPPY PARTY TRAIN Mixture Rock Ver.
