The '''Nijigasaki High School Idol Club''' (虹ヶ咲学園スクールアイドル同好会), often abbreviated as '''Nijigaku''' (ニジガク), is the collective name of school idols from [[Nijigasaki High School]]. They were originally created as a new set of girls — joining [[Muse|µ's]] and [[Aqours]] — exclusive for the mobile game ''[[Love Live! School Idol Festival ALL STARS]]''. They debuted with the album ''[[TOKIMEKI Runners (album)|TOKIMEKI Runners]]'' on November 21, 2018, when the group still consisted of 9 members.

The idol club initially started as a 5 member unit led by [[Setsuna Yuki]] until falling apart due to creative differences, and was then reassembled with 10 members: 9 school idols and [[Ayumu Uehara|Ayumu]]'s childhood friend, the player/protagonist (whose role would be adopted by [[Yu Takasaki]] in the anime), as their manager and song composer in ''ALL STARS''. Later on, 3 more idols joined the group, for a total member count of 13.
