'''You Watanabe''' (渡辺曜) is a main character in ''[[Love Live! Sunshine!!]]''. She is a second year at [[Uranohoshi Girls' High School]]. She is a member of [[CYaRon!]] and [[YYY]] (わいわいわい), two sub-units under [[Aqours]]. Her image color is light blue.<br />
<br />
She was a second-year student at both Uranohoshi Girls' High School prior to its closure and [[Seishin High School]] (albeit temporarily) before fully integrated into [[Numazu High]], ending the series going into her third year.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
She is a second year and a classmate of [[Chika Takami]], who is her childhood friend along with [[Kanan Matsuura]]. Her catchphrase is "Yousoro!" (ヨーソロー！ ''lit. Aye Aye!''), on which she salutes like a sailor. This is often accompanied by the phrase "Zensoku zenshin!" (全速前進！ ''Full speed ahead!''). Her live concert call and response is "[Location or Anata] ni Mukatte, Zensoku Zenshin..."->"Yousoro!"->"Kara no"->"Keirei!".<br />
<br />
Her father captains a ferry and she would like to have his job someday. While her father is not shown in the original TV series he is mentioned often by You. There was a illustration of her father for the series ''[[Yohane the Parhelion -SUNSHINE in the MIRROR-|Genjitsu no Yohane -SUNSHINE in the MIRROR-]],'' in which it is shown that he has short light greyish-brown hair and blue eyes very similar to You. <br />
<br />
In the first episode, on a trip to Tokyo with Chika, the two learned about school idols and the Love Live! tournament after seeing a screen with school idols at the Akiba Dome, including µ's. After Chika becomes fascinated with the idea of school idols, You follows her into opening a school idol club of their own at their high school. Chika and You being the founding members of Aqours (the second rendition), go on to recruit the rest of the seven members throughout the series.<br />
<br />
Within the school idol club she is apart of the sub-units CYaRon! and YYY, CYaRon consists of You, Chika, and [[Ruby Kurosawa]]. Their unit color is orange, and their fans are called "CYaRotomo" (しゃろとも ''Sharotomo''). YYY is a subunit formed under Aqours in honor of the [[Uranohoshi Girls' High School RADIO]] with the three members who served as hosts for the radio show, those members being You, Ruby, and [[Yoshiko Tsushima]]. The Image Color for YYY is bubble color. <br />
<br />
She also has a cousin named [[Tsuki Watanabe]], who lived in Italy and now is a third year student at Numazu High School. <br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
You is an energetic, tomboyish and positive girl with an outlook of focusing on her goals, which can sometimes cause her to take action without thinking things over first. Her positive attitude also makes her one of the more charismatic members of the group. Since she would like to have her father's job as the captain of a ferry, she tends to salute when she says her catchphrase "Yousoro!", often in the place of "hello" and "good-bye".<br />
<br />
You loves the friendship she has forged with Chika over the years, so she slowly grew jealous of [[Riko Sakurauchi]]'s friendship with Chika when she invites her to join Aqours. This is hinted in Season 1 Episode 10, and is expanded upon in Season 1 Episode 11 when the members of Aqours find out the group originally consisted of her and Chika, rather than Chika and Riko. After [[Mari Ohara]] confronts her on it, You expresses her feelings to her best friend, and stops being jealous of Riko.<br />
<br />
== Clubs and Hobbies ==<br />
Due to her upbringing, her daily routine includes weight training and running. You is shown to have many talents: one of them is high diving, and she is good enough at it to qualify for the national team. She can also intuitively forecast the weather. She is also a very good chef, able to cook and turn Yoshiko Tsushima's and Mari's prepared dishes into curry as seen in Season 1 Episode 10. She loves the uniforms of uniformed occupations, which is why she acts as Aqours' wardrobe supervisor alongside Ruby Kurosawa, able to illustrate concept art of idol costumes and make them with no prior experience<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
You has a slim figure and is athletic. She has curly light greyish-brown hair that reaches her shoulders and has light blue eyes. She is most often seen in her sailor uniform with both summer and winter variants, the summer being short sleeved with a necktie and the winter being long sleeved with a bowtie. In some depictions there is also a black sailor uniform with long sleeves and a white necktie with a similar appearance to the summer uniform. While often depicted wearing glasses she can be seen wearing them in episode 11 of the first season of the anime.<br />
<br />
You's main attire other than the Uranohoshi School Uniform, mainly consists of clothing such as shorts and hoodies along with baseball caps leaning towards her more tomboyish traits. She is also depicted in media such as Music Video's and Magazines wearing a one piece competition swimsuit as one of her main outfits that differs in appearance to the rest of the main characters due to her being in the Swimming/Diving club.<br />
<br />
== Songs ==<br />
Aside from having songs with Aqours and Sub-units within the club, You has 4 solo songs so far. The first solo song of hers to be release was [[Beginner's Sailing]] with the limited edition release of Love Live! Sunshine!! TV Anime Season 2 Blu-ray 4. Her second solo song, [[Totsuzen GIRL]] (突然GIRL ''lit. Spontaneous GIRL''), was released alongside Beginner's Sailing on her first solo album on April 17th, 2021. Her third solo song, [[Paradise Chime]], was released with her second solo album on April 17th, 2022. With the third solo album and her fourth solo song [[Ao no Aurora]] releasing on the same date the following year. Her fourth solo album does not contain any new solo songs.<br />
<br />
With You winning the first Love Live! Sunshine!! popularity poll, she was selected as the center for Aqours second single [[Koi ni Naritai AQUARIUM]] (恋になりたいAQUARIUM ''lit. I Want To Fall In Love AQUARIUM''), which released along with a music video on April 27th, 2016 on both CD and DVD/Blu-ray disc. The music video for the single portrays her dynamics with her fellow second years Chika and Riko which would play out in a similar way in the anime later that year. <br />
<br />
While not being a You specific song, she is also the center for Aqours Pirates Desire. Which is the coupling song for Fantastic Departure!, the theme song for [[Aqours 6th Love Live! Dome Tour]] which was cancelled and later replaced by the [[Aqours 6th LoveLive! ～KU-RU-KU-RU Rock ‘n’ Roll TOUR～]]. <br />

==Chronology==<br />
<br />
==Other Data==<br />
<br />
== Etymology ==<br />
<br />
* The name '''You''' means "day/weekday, sun" (曜).<br />
* You's surname '''Watanabe''' means "transit, ford, ferry, cross, import, deliver, diameter, migrate" (渡) ('''wataru''') and "environs, boundary, border, vicinity" (辺) ('''be''').<br />
** '''Watanabe''' is is a common surname in Japan.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
<br />
* You fulfills the pure attribute of the Aqours second years.<br />
* In the early stages of Aqours, You was originally a first-year student.<br />
* You owns a white and yellow snapback with her name printed (YOU) in red letters, she usually wears it during practice.<br />
* In real life, You's home is based on Cafe Orandakan.<br />
* You has similar features to µ's members Kotori Minami and Hanayo Koizumi; her hair is similar in design to Hanayo's, but longer and looser (Hanayo's hair ends mid-neck while You's reaches down to her shoulders). She and Kotori share the same light greyish-brown hair color.<br />
** Using SIF attribute as another factor, this is further supported as You is a 2nd Year Pure, which is the same as Kotori's status and is the same attribute as Hanayo's.<br />
* "Yousoro" is a ship command which means to straighten the ship. After giving a steering instruction, the captain issues this command to tell the helmsman to straighten the ship in the direction it is facing now.<br />

Like! Love Live!''. She is a third-year student at Hasunosora Girls' High School, enrolled with the 103rd class. She is also a member of Cerise Bouquet, a unit under the Hasunosora Girls' High School Idol Club and currently serves as the club's co-president alongside Sayaka Murano. Her image color is sun yellow.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Her family runs a flower farm in Nagano, and she has twin sisters who are years younger than her, named Futaba and Minori. Kaho was frequently ill as a child, leading her to have a more restrictive childhood. Although her health stabilized in grade school, Kaho's parents continued to be extremely overprotective of her, which frustrated Kaho to no end as they stopped her from hanging out with friends and doing fun activities, taking her to and from school each day with a strict curfew attached. Her admission to Hasunosora is the result of her negotiating with her parents for a long time to attain her freedom. Her mother also attended Hasunosora.<br />
<br />
She had no prior musical expertise before entering the academy, instead qualifying through her entrance exam alone.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
An energetic girl who has a smile on her face no matter what. She entered the academy with high expectations and the goal of “blossoming”, as her parents heavily restricted her freedom beforehand. Blossoming, according to her, is how others looked while freely enjoying their daily lives. She thought this way of living was beautiful, comparing it to flowers you can't look away from. She thinks that by attaining freedom, she can blossom too.<br />
<br />
Kaho's greatest fear is being left alone, likely stemming from her lonely childhood. This loneliness combines with her eager attitude, making her a tad too friendly towards strangers (such as Sayaka), and she noted as a talkative person. Fortunately, this cheerful personality also allows her to make friends quite easily. She approached Sayaka Murano on the train just because of their shared uniform, despite never meeting her before, instantly sparking a conversation. Sayaka was uncomfortable at first, forced to listen to her eager ramblings, but the two were still able to become friends rather quickly.<br />
<br />
She initially hated the academy upon realizing it's strict rules, including an exact curfew, discipline, and needing written permission to leave school grounds. This culminated in a plan to escape, but after the coaxing of Kozue Otomune, she realized school idols could help her enjoy it in her own way. She ended up wanting to make Hasunosora more fun for the students, despite not wanting to take part in the club originally. She is a kind-hearted, friendly, cheerful, passionate, welcoming, and supportive person who strives to make everything fun for everyone. She puts all her energy into what she enjoys, although can become somewhat impulsive and charge ahead in the wrong direction.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Kaho is a girl with pale skin. She has greenish-teal eyes, beige rose hair that reaches the tip of her shoulders, bunny hairclips on two small strands of hair, and often smiles.<br />

'''Riko Sakurauchi''' (桜内梨子) is a main character in ''[[Love Live! Sunshine!!|Love Live! Sunshine!]]'' and a member of [[Aqours]]. She is a second year at [[Uranohoshi Girls' High School]]. after transferring at the beginning of the school year from [[Otonokizaka High School]]. She is a member of [[Guilty Kiss]], a sub-unit of [[Aqours]]. Her image color is sakura pink.<br />
<br />
Riko transfers to [[Seishin High School]] (albeit temporarily) before Uranohoshi is fully integrated into [[Numazu High]], ending the series going into her third year.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
<br />
Riko attended Otonokizaka High School in Tokyo, studying music. She had learnt to play the piano from an early age, but hit a snag in her musical career during her time at Otonokizaka. Finding herself unable to "hear the music" during a piano recital, her family relocated to Uchiura for a change of scenery. <br />
<br />
It is in Uchiura that Riko meets [[Chika Takami]] and [[You Watanabe]] (the former of which is her neighbour). Chika invites Riko to join their school idol club, requiring the skills of a musician to help them compose songs. Although initially hesitant, Riko eventually agrees what would eventually become Aqours, believing it to be a potential pathway back into music. <br />
== Personality ==<br />
<br />
Riko is a kind, soft-spoken girl who is well mannered and sweet-natured. She is quite modest and unwilling to flaunt her talents, especially in music. Due to her prior struggles with performing, she's initially quite hesitant to use her talents. She only agrees to eventually help Chika and You after being inspired by their passion for school idol activities and the [[μ’s]] song, [[Yume no Tobira]].<br />
<br />
Despite generally being quite reserved, Riko can have a quick temper and is quick to lash out at Aqours' less orderly members, like Chika and [[Yoshiko Tsushima]]. Riko, in a manner not unlike [[Dia Kurosawa]] likes to maintain order and productivity within Aqours. This often runs in contrast to Chika's more playful, energetic approach. <br />
<br />
Riko has a fear of dogs, especially Chika's dog [[Shiitake]]. The fear is not exclusive to large dogs, as she is frightened even by much smaller dogs at various points during the show. She slowly begins to overcome this fear after helping Yoshiko care for a lost dog in [[Taking in A Dog]]. <br />
<br />
Throughout her journey with Aqours, Riko slowly learns to loosen up and acts a bit more aloof. With time, she regains her passion for composing, overcomes her fear of dogs, and acts more playful with her friends (such as accidentally engaging with Yoshiko's "fallen angel" fantasy).<br />
<br />
== Clubs and Hobbies ==<br />
<br />
Riko is best known for her love of the piano. In addition to her skills as a performer, Riko also composes music for Aqours. Her official biography lists drawing, handicraft, and cooking as her hobbies. Riko is also shown to have an appreciation for girl's love [[doujinshi]].<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
<br />
Riko has long, flowing burgundy hair that reaches past her shoulders, usually adorned with a white hair clip on the left side. Her eyes are a soft shade of magenta. She has a slim figure and generally wears elegant pink or white clothes.<br />
<br />
== Songs ==<br />
<br />
Riko has a total of four solo songs to date. The first, [[Pianoforte Monologue]] was released with the Love Live Sunshine!! Season 2 Bluray volume 3. The next three; [[PURE PHRASE]], [[Love Spiral Tower]], and [[Minamo ni Piano]] were released alongside her solo albums. <br />
<br />
In contrast to her solo songs, Riko has released multiple songs as a part of Guilty Kiss. These songs embrace more hard-rock inspired instrumentals.<br />
<br />
As a member of Aqours, Riko has split center privileges with Chika Takami on 3 occassions; [[Kimi no Kokoro wa Kagayaiteru kai?]], [[Brightest Melody]], and [[Smile! Smile! Ship start]]. She has also had her own solo centers in [[Kimi no Hitomi o Meguru Bouken]] and [[Wake up, Challenger]] (which was the second song Aqours released for the mobile game [[Love Live! School Idol Festival ALL STARS]].<br />

==Chronology==<br />
<br />
==Other Data==<br />
<br />
== Etymology ==<br />
<br />
* The name Riko means "pear" (梨) (ri) and "child" (子) (ko).<br />
<br />
* Riko's surname Sakurauchi means "cherry blossom" (桜) (sakura) and "inside, within" (内) (uchi).<ref>Sourced as-is from https://love-live.fandom.com/</ref><br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
<br />
* Riko (to date) is the only known character to attend the school's of two different Love Live! Champions<br />
* Unlike in the anime, the manga adaptation of Love Live! Sunshine! explains that Riko moved to Uchiura as a result of her father's work.<br />
* Within Guilty Kiss, Riko has a "special attack" called the "Riko-chan Laser Beam" or sometimes simply "Riko-chan Beam". This alludes to her joking with Chika about her status as a "normal monster". <br />
* Riko's home in the anime is based off of an identical home adjacent to Yasudaya Ryokan. Unlike in the anime, the two buildings are very far apart. This makes it highly unlikely that she would be able to communicate or interact with Chika in a manner similar to how they do in the anime. <br />

<br />
'''Kanan Matsuura''' (松浦果南) is a main character in [[Love Live! Sunshine!!]]. She was a third-year student at Uranohoshi Girls' High School and a member of [[Aqours]] until her graduation in the anime's finale.<br />
<br />
She is a member of AZALEA, and was the original leader of Aqours when the group was first formed by she and her childhood friends, Mari Ohara and Dia Kurosawa. Her image color is emerald green.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Kanan is a third-year student living on the offshore island of Awashima with her grandfather, who runs a diving shop there. In the anime, she had a hard time attending classes as she must take care of the shop while her father recovers from a fractured bone. She is able to attend classes from Season 1 Episode 9 onwards. Kanan is childhood friends with Chika Takami, You Watanabe, Dia Kurosawa and Mari Ohara.<br />
<br />
In Season 1 Episodes 6, 8 and 9, it is revealed Kanan had actually formed a school idol group with Mari and Dia two years ago, having convinced the former to join. However, Mari had suffered an injury right before their performance, so she and Dia decided to step down and not perform. After Mari travels to study abroad, she becomes more distant to her peers. It is until Mari learns the truth when Kanan reconciles with her old friend, and decides to become a school idol once again.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Breezily mature, Kanan rarely sweats the details and usually maintains a calm, cool and even stoic demeanor. Though she may seem a bit bland at first, she loves sports and nature, claiming that she is happy every day just by being able to see the dazzling sun, the blue skies and the sea. She isn't as talkative as her fellow third years, speaking the least of them in the anime, but is nevertheless friendly and laid-back.<br />
<br />
Kanan is a very kind, warm-hearted and altruistic individual. She deeply cares for her friends, being very supportive and often putting their needs above her own, going to great lengths to ensure they get what she thinks is best for them. However, due to this, Kanan can fail to realize the others' feelings the same way she does, and she will go to the same lengths to hide the truth if it will hurt the person. This particularly caused her friend, Mari, to accept the chance of studying abroad when in reality she didn't want to, as Mari was content with being with her friends.<br />
<br />
After Mari goes to study abroad, this causes Kanan to live with the weight of her lie, acting much more distant and aloof to Mari when she returns a year and a half later to Uranohoshi. When Mari learns the truth in Season 1 Episode 9, confronting Kanan and expressing how much she cares for her, Kanan finally reconciles with her old friend, stops being distant, and becomes friendly once again.<br />
<br />
Due to the fact the second years are considered "the heart" of Aqours, Kanan has some difficulty relating to the first years, which is shared with Mari; this is due to her preference for the outdoors and for sports. Season 2 Episode 2 explores this, and after a rainy evening forces the girls to stay indoors, the first and third years are able to relate to the others, with Kanan seemingly relating to Hanamaru Kunikida the most.<br />
<br />
While athletic, mature and composed, Kanan has a sweet and soft personality. She is also afraid of strange, creaking sounds as seen in Season 2 Episode 2, and afraid of heights as seen in Season 2 Episode 8. She also likes hugs ever since her childhood, and will often hug her friends if given the opportunity, usually declaring her catchphrase "Hagu shiyo" (ハグしよ "Let's hug") before so.<br />
<br />
Although Kanan is intelligent and level-headed, she doesn't get very good grades. This is due to her poor attendance at school due to the fact she must help her family with work; with that said, it's also seen she doesn't like reading and easily gets tired of it.<br />

}}'''Yoshiko Tsushima''' (津島善子) is a main character in [[Love Live! Sunshine!]] and a member of [[Aqours]]. She is a first-year student at Uranohoshi Girls' High School during the anime. Following the events of [[Love Live! Sunshine!! The School Idol Movie: Over The Rainbow]], she transfers to [[Numazu High School]] as a second year. She is also a member of Aqours' subunit, [[Guilty Kiss]]. Her image color is white, but she is generally represented as grey. <br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Yoshiko lives in the urban core of Numazu with her family. When she was very young, she attended a kindergarten. It was here that she met [[Hanamaru Kunikida]], and the two formed a sort of early friendship. <br />
<br />
While attending kindergarten, Yoshiko developed a feeling that she was somehow different from her peers. This, in addition to her habitual bad fortune, led her to believe that she was a "fallen angel". It was at this time that she began preferring to go by the name of "Yohane". She developed an interest in magic and the occult. This persisted throughout middle school and made Yoshiko feel even further ostracized from her peers. <br />
<br />
At the beginning of the anime, Yoshiko attends her first day at Uranohoshi with the intention of abandoning her fallen angel persona. After continuously relapsing into "Yohane", she attempts to avoid attending school. <br />
<br />
After being discovered by Hanamaru, Yoshiko is invited to join Aqours by the group's leader [[Chika Takami]]. Despite some insecurities she experiences over her worthiness as an idol, she is accepted and welcomed by Chika and the other members. Yoshiko eventually commits to being a permanent member of the group at the end of [["Yohane Descends"]].<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Yoshiko's personality can differ depending on whether or not she is performing her "Yohane" persona or not. As "Yohane", Yoshiko acts very theatrical and menacing. She is known to break into monologue or cause a large public scene. Yoshiko is very irritated when called by her real name, and will correct anyone who doesn't address her as such (something that becomes a running gag in the anime). As "Yohane", Yoshiko refers to her fans and friends alike as "little demons". In her free time, Yoshiko live streams online as "Yohane" in an attempt to grow and "convert" a legion of "little demons". <br />
<br />
When not performing as "Yohane", Yoshiko can be rather reserved and self-conscious. As a young child, Yoshiko developed her persona as a way to differentiate herself and make herself feel unique. As she grows older, she loses a desire to be unique and begins to wonder if life would be better as a "normal" girl. She is aware of how her fallen angel persona scares people away from her, and holds some desire to live a "normal" life. It is only after she is accepted by Aqours that Yoshiko decides it's okay for her to continue to embrace and continue a life as "Yohane". <br />
<br />
Yoshiko is noted as having incredibly bad luck, something she says is a result of her status as a fallen angel. In her character introduction, it is described that "whenever she goes on a field trip, rain is bound to follow. Whenever the snow falls, she always slips on it. She's never won anything in the lucky grab at the convenience store. She always catches the flu right before finals."<ref>https://www.lovelive-anime.jp/uranohoshi/worldwide/member.php</ref> This bad luck occasionally spells misfortune for Aqours, and Yoshiko is very ashamed of her luck's contribution to this misfortune. <br />
<br />
Despite her sometimes loud and performative nature, Yoshiko is kind and caring to her friends. She feels indebted to her Aqours colleagues for their embrace of her weirdness. During serious moments, such as during "[[The Time Left]]", Yoshiko is capable of putting her fallen angel act aside and approaching situations with genuine compassion. <br />
<br />
== Clubs and Hobbies ==<br />
In the anime, Yoshiko is shown to practice fortune telling (to mixed results). She is also depicted in official art as playing video games, and live streaming. In [[Love Live! School Idol Festival ALLSTARS]], Yoshiko begins uploading video game footage online as a sort of "Lets Play" youtuber. Yoshiko is responsible for video editing in Aqours, and is also shown helping with costume design.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Yoshiko Tsushima has long, dark blue hair usually styled in a side bun on the left of her head. Her eyes are a striking deep magenta. Outside of school, she typical wears stylish, often dark colored, gothic outfits. Yoshiko has a slender build and carries herself with a dramatic, confident posture.<br />

== Other Data ==<br />
<br />
== Etymology ==<br />
<br />
* The name '''Yoshiko''' means "good/goodness, right, virtue" (善) ('''yoshi''') and "child" (子) ('''ko'''), which translates to "good life child" altogether.<br />
** Her nickname '''Yohane''' (ヨハネ) is a common Japanese biblical spelling of "John". The latter is ultimately derived from the Hebrew male given name ''Yôḥānān'', a shortened form of ''Yəhôḥānān'' (which roughly means "God is gracious").<br />
* Yoshiko's surname '''Tsushima''' means "haven, port, harbor, ferry" (津) ('''tsu''') and "island" (島) ('''shima'''). <ref>Sourced as-is from https://love-live.fandom.com/</ref><br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
<br />
* Yoshiko is the only member of Aqours to live in the urban core of Numazu. The other 8 members live in the smaller rural area of Uchiura (or specifically in Mari & Kanan's case, Awashima Island). <br />
* Yoshiko's apartment building is styled after a real building in Numazu, located beside Numazu Riverside Hotel. The hotel has a display cabinet located near the main lobby with Aqours (and especially Yoshiko) merchandise displayed<br />
* Yoshiko is the star of the only Love Live! anime spinoff (to date), [[Yohane the Parhelion -SUNSHINE in the MIRROR-]]<br />
* Yoshiko seems to enjoy spicy food. In the anime, she prepares takoyaki filled with tabasco sauce. She calls these "Tears of the Fallen Angel".<br />
* Despite her sometimes aloof and clumsy personality, Yoshiko is academically quite intelligent. <br />

<br />
'''Kanan Matsuura''' (松浦 果南) is a main character in [[Love Live! Sunshine!!]]. She was a third-year student at Uranohoshi Girls' High School and a member of [[Aqours]] until her graduation in the anime's finale.<br />
<br />
She is a member of AZALEA, and was the original leader of Aqours when the group was first formed by she and her childhood friends, Mari Ohara and Dia Kurosawa. Her image color is emerald green.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Kanan is a third-year student living on the offshore island of Awashima with her grandfather, who runs a diving shop there. In the anime, she had a hard time attending classes as she must take care of the shop while her father recovers from a fractured bone. She is able to attend classes from Season 1 Episode 9 onwards. Kanan is childhood friends with Chika Takami, You Watanabe, Dia Kurosawa and Mari Ohara.<br />
<br />
In Season 1 Episodes 6, 8 and 9, it is revealed Kanan had actually formed a school idol group with Mari and Dia two years ago, having convinced the former to join. However, Mari had suffered an injury right before their performance, so she and Dia decided to step down and not perform. After Mari travels to study abroad, she becomes more distant to her peers. It is until Mari learns the truth when Kanan reconciles with her old friend, and decides to become a school idol once again.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Breezily mature, Kanan rarely sweats the details and usually maintains a calm, cool and even stoic demeanor. Though she may seem a bit bland at first, she loves sports and nature, claiming that she is happy every day just by being able to see the dazzling sun, the blue skies and the sea. She isn't as talkative as her fellow third years, speaking the least of them in the anime, but is nevertheless friendly and laid-back.<br />
<br />
Kanan is a very kind, warm-hearted and altruistic individual. She deeply cares for her friends, being very supportive and often putting their needs above her own, going to great lengths to ensure they get what she thinks is best for them. However, due to this, Kanan can fail to realize the others' feelings the same way she does, and she will go to the same lengths to hide the truth if it will hurt the person. This particularly caused her friend, Mari, to accept the chance of studying abroad when in reality she didn't want to, as Mari was content with being with her friends.<br />
<br />
After Mari goes to study abroad, this causes Kanan to live with the weight of her lie, acting much more distant and aloof to Mari when she returns a year and a half later to Uranohoshi. When Mari learns the truth in Season 1 Episode 9, confronting Kanan and expressing how much she cares for her, Kanan finally reconciles with her old friend, stops being distant, and becomes friendly once again.<br />
<br />
Due to the fact the second years are considered "the heart" of Aqours, Kanan has some difficulty relating to the first years, which is shared with Mari; this is due to her preference for the outdoors and for sports. Season 2 Episode 2 explores this, and after a rainy evening forces the girls to stay indoors, the first and third years are able to relate to the others, with Kanan seemingly relating to Hanamaru Kunikida the most.<br />
<br />
While athletic, mature and composed, Kanan has a sweet and soft personality. She is also afraid of strange, creaking sounds as seen in Season 2 Episode 2, and afraid of heights as seen in Season 2 Episode 8. She also likes hugs ever since her childhood, and will often hug her friends if given the opportunity, usually declaring her catchphrase "Hagu shiyo" (ハグしよ "Let's hug") before so.<br />
<br />
Although Kanan is intelligent and level-headed, she doesn't get very good grades. This is due to her poor attendance at school due to the fact she must help her family with work; with that said, it's also seen she doesn't like reading and easily gets tired of it.<br />

'''Mari Ohara''' (小原鞠莉) is a main character in ''[[Love Live! Sunshine!!]]''. She was a re-enrolled third-year student at [[Uranohoshi Girls' High School]] until she graduated in the anime's [[Our Own Radiance|series finale]]. She is a member of [[Guilty Kiss]], a sub-unit under [[Aqours]] and was a member of the original group. Her image color is violet.<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
Mari is a third-year student whose parents (her mother and Italian-American father) manage a hotel chain, Ohara Hotels and Resorts, including [[Hotel Ohara]] on Awashima Island (based on the actual [https://www.google.com/maps/place/Awashima+Hotel/@35.0358862,138.8865076,17.75z Awashima Hotel], currently the Wyndham Grand Awashima) where Mari lives in a suite, which proves her upbringing from a very wealthy family.<ref name="LLSS translated intro">[http://www.lovelive-anime.jp/uranohoshi/worldwide/member.php Official Character Introductions]</ref> She's childhood friends with [[Kanan Matsuura]] and [[Dia Kurosawa]], knowing them since elementary school.<br />
<br />
Due to her part Italian-American upbringing, Mari speaks with an accent and often inserts English words into her speech every few lines (in the English dub, the English words are replaced with Italian words).<ref>[[Koi ni Naritai AQUARIUM|Koi ni Naritai AQUARIUM Radio Dramas]]</ref> She also tends to speak in the third-person.<br />
<br />
She is first seen in [[I Want to Shine!!|the first episode]] flying in the family's helicopter, before formally appearing in [[First Step|Episode 3]], where she becomes the director of Uranohoshi Girls' High School (despite still being a student) after her family contributed a large amount of money to the school. [[Let's Make a PV|Season 1 Episodes 6]], [[Isn't it Frustrating|8]] and [[Young DREAMER|9]] reveal that she, Kanan and Dia formed a school idol group two years ago while on their first year, Kanan having convinced Mari to join. However, Mari had suffered an injury right before an important performance, so Kanan and Dia decided to step down and not perform. Later on, Mari leaves Uchiura to study abroad after the three disband their school idol group. Once Mari learns the truth in Episode 9, she confronts Kanan over it, but both reconcile with the other and decide to become school idols once again, joining Aqours alongside Dia.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Mari has a cheerful, eccentric and mischievous personality, makes many jokes, and often prefers to work by herself. She always keeps her chin up when faced with hardship so as not to burden others, and is ready to try her hand at anything. However, as a half-foreigner, she does not feel that she is very suited to being a Japanese-style idol. <br />
<br />
Despite Mari's cheerful personality, there are times when she can be serious as shown in Season 1 Episode 9.<br />
<br />
Mari speaks with an accent, and she has a high, cheerful voice. Mari often inserts English words (Italian in the English dub) into her sentences, but when she is sad or serious, the pitch of her voice becomes lower, she loses her accent, and she uses English words less.<br />
<br />
==Clubs and Hobbies==<br />
Mari's hobbies include sports and horseback riding, and her talent is in her flexibility and singing. Her favorite genre of music is industrial metal, as stated in her official introduction and shown in Season 2 Episode 2. <br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Mari has a slim figure with light blond hair that she has tied into a braided headband with a loop on the left side and bright green eyes.{{clr}}<br />

* The name '''Mari''' means "ball" (鞠) ('''ma''') and "white jasmine" (莉) ('''ri''').<br />
* Mari's surname '''Ohara''' means "small" (小) ('''o''') and "field, plain" (原) ('''hara''').<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*Mari fulfills the smile attribute of the Aqours third years.<br />
*In real life, Mari's home is based on the actual [https://goo.gl/maps/FCxgs3kisEk Awashima Hotel], currently the Wyndham Grand Awashima.<br />
*Unlike the rest of Aqours, Mari wears a turquoise vest in her summer uniform and wears white socks as opposed to black socks.<br />
*Mari has similar features to µ's members [[Eli Ayase]] and [[Nozomi Tojo]].<br />
**Both Mari and Eli are blondes, the tallest of the group, foreigners, and third years.<br />
**Both Mari and Nozomi are Geminis, the bustiest of the group, fluent in English, and love to grope their fellow members.<br />
*Mari is the tallest of all of the Aqours characters at 163 cm (or 5'4"), which is ironic since her seiyuu is the shortest of Aqours seiyuus.<br />
*Mari is the oldest school idol of Aqours.<br />
*Mari is the second school idol to slap her childhood friend. The first being [[Umi Sonoda]].<br />
*Mari is the second character since Dia to run away from arranged marriages set up by her parents (in Mari's case, her mother).<br />
*In the [[Kimi no Kokoro wa Kagayaiteru kai?]] PV, Mari's personality was shown to be more quiet and reserved, compared to her anime personality, where she is more loud and energetic.<br />
*It was stated in Mari's SIF side stories that she has liked marching bands ever since she was a little girl.<br />

'''Ruby Kurosawa''' (黒澤ルビィ) is a main character in ''[[Love Live! Sunshine!!]]''. She is a second-year student at [[Numazu High School]]. She is a member of [[CYaRon!]] and [[YYY]], two sub-units under [[Aqours]]. She is also a member of the special sub-unit [[AiScReam]]. Her image color is pink.<ref>https://odex-anime.myshopify.com/products/lovelive-series-9th-anniversary-love-live-fest-love-live-blade-fest-ver-ラブライブレード</ref><br />
<br />
She was a first-year student at both [[Uranohoshi Girls' High School]] prior to its closure and [[Seishin High School]] (albeit temporarily) before fully integrated into Numazu High.<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
Ruby is a first year student who is the younger sister of [[Dia Kurosawa]], who she shares a strong bond with. She is from an old family involved in fishing management whose name is well-known around the area. The Kurosawa family also owns a number of companies including real estate, entertainment, human resources and restaurant management.<ref>LL!SS!! Season 1 Volume 7 Blu-Ray - School idol diary Chapter Aqours's Summer Splash</ref> Ruby is almost always nearby her best friend, [[Hanamaru Kunikida]].<br />
<br />
In the anime, in [[I Want to Shine!!|the first episode]], Ruby is shown to display a big interest in school idols. [[Two Girls' Feelings|Season 1 Episode 4]] shows that she used to be a fan of school idols, sharing this hobby with Dia, although something caused her older sister to seemingly lose that interest, which is revealed in [[Let's Make a PV|Season 1 Episodes 6]], [[Isn't it Frustrating|8]] and [[Young DREAMER|9]] to be Dia's failure as a school idol. Ruby's love for school idols remained intact, but the event made her secretly keep it away from her sister. She later joins Aqours in Season 1 Episode 4, after counting with her sister's support.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Ruby is very shy and timid, which makes it hard for her to get along with other people. She has a tendency to utter or scream "Pigii!!!" when she doesn't like something; in the event she screams, [[:File:LLSS_S1Ep1_101.png|her face will turn red as she does so]]. She has never talked to any males besides her father before, so she has always been bad at dealing with the male gender. Although she is fearful and easily upset, she does has a tough interior forged by her role as the daughter of a rich, well-known family.<br />
<br />
Ruby is very close to her friend, Hanamaru. She also meets [[Leah Kazuno]] in [[TOKYO]], who she also becomes very close with.<br />
<br />
From a different perspective, Ruby is adaptable and mostly admired by her friends, and they support her no matter what; despite the fact the Second Years are considered "the heart" of Aqours, Ruby does not have difficulty getting along with the rest of the group unlike her fellow First Years' or the Third Years', as seen in [[The Sound of Rain|Season 2 Episode 2]]. Her catchphrase is {{Nihongo|"Ganbarubii!"|がんばルビィ！|lit. "Rubesty"}}, a portmanteau between {{Nihongo|"ganbaru"|頑張る|try with full effort}} and her own name; she uses this phrase to encourage herself or others to do their very best. Ruby also speaks in the third person from time to time, just like Hanamaru. However, she tends to use "watashi" as a first-person pronoun.<br />
<br />
Due to the strong bond she shares with her sister Dia, Ruby will immediately display her tough interior and defend her sister when a negative point of her is brought up, as seen in [[HAKODATE|Season 2 Episode 8]]. Ruby is also shown to have a playful and mischievous side of her when she teases [[Yoshiko Tsushima]]'s Fallen Angel behavior and her embarrassing moments (alongside Hanamaru), which annoys Yoshiko all the time. She also despises spicy food, as seen in [[We've Got Stewshine|Season 1 Episode 10]], when she eats a takoyaki filled with tabasco sauce instead of octopus sauce.<br />
<br />
==Clubs and Hobbies==<br />
Her hobbies are needlework and fashion. Her talent is in coordinating outfits, which makes her, alongside [[You Watanabe]], Aqours' wardrobe supervisor. Like her sister Dia, she displays an admiration for other idols, despite coming from a traditional family.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Ruby is short with a slim figure and semi-long red hair which she ties into twintails and turquoise eyes.<br />

'''Hanamaru Kunikida''' (国木田花丸) is a main character in ''[[Love Live! Sunshine!!]]''. She is a second-year student at [[Numazu High School]]. She is a member of [[AZALEA]], a sub-unit under [[Aqours]]. Her image color is yellow.<br />
<br />
She was a first-year student at both [[Uranohoshi Girls' High School]] prior to its closure and [[Seishin High School]] (albeit temporarily) before fully integrated into Numazu High.<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
Hanamaru, known as "Maru" for short (by herself and her friends), is a first year student and the daughter of a family who has run a nearby temple for generations. She lives with her grandparents, and since she does not have a computer, she often reads a lot. Hanamaru is [[Ruby Kurosawa]]'s best friend, and both are often seen near the other. She also attended the same kindergarten as [[Yoshiko Tsushima]], also one of her friends.<br />
<br />
Hanamaru has a distinctive verbal tic and dialect, tending to end her sentences with {{Nihongo|"zura"|ずら}}, as well as using "ora" as a first-person pronoun to refer to herself.<br />
<br />
In the anime, in [[I Want to Shine!!|the first episode]], Hanamaru and Ruby are quickly approached by [[Chika Takami]], who invites them to be school idols. Confused, Hanamaru quickly dismisses the invitation. It is later revealed in [[Two Girls' Feelings|Season 1 Episode 4]] that Hanamaru actually was interested in school idols, especially after seeing a picture of [[Rin Hoshizora]] from [[Muse|µ's]], but couldn't bring herself to being a school idol herself because of her appearance and lack of physical condition. She talks Ruby's sister, [[Dia Kurosawa]], into paying attention to what her sister actually wants, which was being a school idol. After Ruby joins Aqours, she tells Hanamaru about the story of Rin and µ's, and Hanamaru finally decides to join Aqours, supporting Ruby in her endeavor.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Hanamaru is a hardworking girl who diligently works at her family's temple. She spends a lot of time reading alone and is easily distracted by books. Since she was raised as a temple girl, Hanamaru does not watch television much, nor does she use the internet, making her outdated. Because of this, she is fascinated with modern technology, yelling her catchphrase {{Nihongo|"Mirai zura!"|未来ずら|"It's the future, zura!"}} when she sees something advanced such as a computer. She was often teased due to this, but was usually defended by her best friend Ruby; however, the first time it happened, Ruby ended up crying, causing Hanamaru to comfort her instead.<br />
<br />
Hanamaru seems to be quite self-depreciating, calling herself a "chibi procrastinator" and "neither cute nor interesting". She aspires to be like Ruby, whom she sees as "beautiful, cute and dazzling". She is also gentle and caring for those around her. Despite her appearance, Hanamaru is also smart and not easily fooled.<br />
<br />
Due to the fact the Second Years are considered "the heart" of Aqours, Hanamaru has some difficulty relating to the Third Years, which is shared with Yoshiko; this is due to her preference for the indoors and for calmer activities. Season 2 Episode 2 explores this, and after a rainy evening forces the girls to stay indoors, the First and Third Years are able to relate to the others, with Hanamaru seemingly relating to [[Kanan Matsuura]] the most.<br />
<br />
Hanamaru is shown to have a playful and mischievous side; this is especially present when she teases Yoshiko's Fallen Angel behavior and her embarrassing moments (often alongside Ruby), which annoys Yoshiko all the time. She has a surprisingly large appetite, able to eat a food helping quickly and often asking for another one immediately after, and is usually seen eating sweets in the background, the most common of them being a roll of noppo bread.<br />
<br />
In Season 1 Episode 4, Hanamaru stated that since she was little, she was a quiet girl who played off to the side.<br />
<br />
==Clubs and Hobbies==<br />
She is a gifted singer, earning her a spot in a choir. She loves reading and has a deep fondness for Japanese literature, often spending most of her time in the school library, which she helps out at. Her ambition is to become a writer some day.<ref>Maru's 4-koma Drop 1, Dengeki G's Magazine October 2015 issue</ref><br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Hanamaru is short with a slim figure with brownish gold hair and amber eyes. <br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Hanamaru fulfills the smile attribute of the Aqours first years.<br />
*The name '''Hanamaru''' means "flower, blossom" (花) ('''hana''') and "round, circle, pills, purity, suffix for ship names, complete" (丸) ('''maru'''), in which her character symbol consists of a spiral and a flower.<br />
* Hanamaru's surname '''Kunikida''' means "country" (国) ('''kuni'''), "tree, wood" (木) ('''ki''') and "field, rice paddy" (田) ('''ta'''/'''da'''). <br />
*Unlike the rest of Aqours, Hanamaru wears a yellow cardigan in her winter uniform, similar to [[Nico Yazawa]] wearing her pink cardigan as part of her summer uniform in the original [[Love Live!]].<br />
*Hanamaru is the fictional artist of ''Maru's 4-koma'', a 4-frame comic strip detailing Aqours's activities that started serialization in Dengeki G's Magazine October 2015.<br />
*In real life, Hanamaru's home is based on [https://goo.gl/maps/6ygwXbJRJxo Raikoji Temple].<br />
*Unlike the other girls, Yoshiko calls Hanamaru {{Nihongo|"Zuramaru"|ずら丸}}, as a reference to the latter's verbal tic.<br />
**This is also done by [[Ai Miyashita]] in [[Love Live! School Idol Festival ALL STARS]].<br />
*Hanamaru is the shortest of the Aqours characters at 152 cm (or 5'0"), which is ironic since her seiyuu is the tallest of the Aqours seiyuus.<br />

<br />
'''Chika Takami''' (高海千歌) is the protagonist of ''[[Love Live! Sunshine!]]'' and the leader of [[Aqours]]. She is a second-year student at [[Uranohoshi Girls' High School]] during the anime. Following the events of ''[[Love Live! Sunshine!! The School Idol Movie: Over The Rainbow]]'', she transfers to [[Numazu High School]]. In addition to Aqours, she is also the leader of the subunit [[CYaRon!]] Her image color is mikan orange.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Chika is the youngest daughter of the Takami family, who owns and operates a ryokan in Uchiura. She lives with her parents, her two older sisters (Shima and Mito) and their pet dog (Shiitake). She is childhood friends with [[Kanan Matsuura]] and [[You Watanabe]]. In the anime, [[Riko Sakurauchi]] and her family moves into the house neighboring Chika's ryokan. Her mother and her sisters both attended Uranohoshi.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
As the leader of Aqours, Chika is characterized by her charisma and sociability, traits that lead her to push others toward realizing their potential. Chika's unwavering optimism and resilience are central to her character. Despite setbacks, such as receiving no votes in a Tokyo competition, she remains steadfast in her belief that perseverance can transform the ordinary into something extraordinary.<br />
<br />
At the beginning of the series, Chika perceives herself as ordinary. This is especially true when she compares herself to her more accomplished childhood friends, You and Kanan. Her perspective shifts upon witnessing a performance by μ's in Akihabara, inspiring her to believe that with determination, even someone like her can achieve greatness. This revelation motivates her to form Aqours.<br />
<br />
While Chika remains resilient and charismatic throughout the anime, she is tested by the challenges she faces. On a few occasions, she shows a far less cheerful side of herself. While she is endlessly optimistic, she is no less aware of the many people who rely on her and are counting on Aqours. <br />
<br />
Chika is not traditionally "smart" in the academic sense, often struggling with schoolwork and coming off as clumsy or impulsive. She often acts very goofy or clueless. <br />
<br />
== Clubs and Hobbies ==<br />
Chika is talented in horizontal bar, table tennis, and calligraphy. She also loves softball and going to karaoke booths.<ref>Dengeki G's Magazine July 2015</ref><br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Chika has short orange hair that falls just above her shoulders, usually styled with a small green hair clip on the left side. Her eyes are a warm, golden-brown color. She’s most often seen in her school uniform. Chika has a slim, petite build that reflects her active and energetic nature. Her expressions are full of life, frequently showing a big smile.<br />

== Chronology ==<br />
<br />
== Etymology ==<br />
The name '''Chika''' means "thousand" (千) ('''chi''') and "song, poetry" (歌) ('''ka''').<br />
<br />
Chika's surname '''Takami''' means "tall, high" (高) ('''taka''') and "sea, ocean" (海) ('''mi''').<ref>Sourced as-is from love-live.fandom.com</ref><br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
<br />
* Chika's favorite food, mikan, is a kind of orange commonly grown in Shizuoka prefecture. Numazu specifically is known for a variety called jutaro mikan, and Chika has appeared in promotional material (and packaging) for this type of mikan.<ref>https://savorjp.info/food/foods/%E3%81%BF%E3%81%8B%E3%82%93/6076/</ref><br />
* Chika was inspired to become a school idol after seeing [[μ's]] perform, especially admiring [[Honoka Kousaka]].<br />
* When she was younger, Chika kept her hair longer. At some point, she decided it would be easier to maintain if she kept it short.<ref>Dengeki G's Magazine September 2016</ref><br />

'''Mari Ohara''' is a main character in ''[[Love Live! Sunshine!!]]''. She was a re-enrolled third-year student at [[Uranohoshi Girls' High School]] until she graduated in the anime's [[Our Own Radiance|series finale]]. She is a member of [[Guilty Kiss]], a sub-unit under [[Aqours]] and was a member of the original group. Her image color is violet.<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
Mari is a third-year student whose parents (her mother and Italian-American father) manage a hotel chain, Ohara Hotels and Resorts, including [[Hotel Ohara]] on Awashima Island (based on the actual [https://www.google.com/maps/place/Awashima+Hotel/@35.0358862,138.8865076,17.75z Awashima Hotel], currently the Wyndham Grand Awashima) where Mari lives in a suite, which proves her upbringing from a very wealthy family.<ref name="LLSS translated intro">[http://www.lovelive-anime.jp/uranohoshi/worldwide/member.php Official Character Introductions]</ref> She's childhood friends with [[Kanan Matsuura]] and [[Dia Kurosawa]], knowing them since elementary school.<br />
<br />
Due to her part Italian-American upbringing, Mari speaks with an accent and often inserts English words into her speech every few lines (in the English dub, the English words are replaced with Italian words).<ref>[[Koi ni Naritai AQUARIUM|Koi ni Naritai AQUARIUM Radio Dramas]]</ref> She also tends to speak in the third-person.<br />
<br />
She is first seen in [[I Want to Shine!!|the first episode]] flying in the family's helicopter, before formally appearing in [[First Step|Episode 3]], where she becomes the director of Uranohoshi Girls' High School (despite still being a student) after her family contributed a large amount of money to the school. [[Let's Make a PV|Season 1 Episodes 6]], [[Isn't it Frustrating|8]] and [[Young DREAMER|9]] reveal that she, Kanan and Dia formed a school idol group two years ago while on their first year, Kanan having convinced Mari to join. However, Mari had suffered an injury right before an important performance, so Kanan and Dia decided to step down and not perform. Later on, Mari leaves Uchiura to study abroad after the three disband their school idol group. Once Mari learns the truth in Episode 9, she confronts Kanan over it, but both reconcile with the other and decide to become school idols once again, joining Aqours alongside Dia.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Mari has a cheerful, eccentric and mischievous personality, makes many jokes, and often prefers to work by herself. She always keeps her chin up when faced with hardship so as not to burden others, and is ready to try her hand at anything. However, as a half-foreigner, she does not feel that she is very suited to being a Japanese-style idol. <br />
<br />
Despite Mari's cheerful personality, there are times when she can be serious as shown in Season 1 Episode 9.<br />
<br />
Mari speaks with an accent, and she has a high, cheerful voice. Mari often inserts English words (Italian in the English dub) into her sentences, but when she is sad or serious, the pitch of her voice becomes lower, she loses her accent, and she uses English words less.<br />
<br />
==Clubs and Hobbies==<br />
Mari's hobbies include sports and horseback riding, and her talent is in her flexibility and singing. Her favorite genre of music is industrial metal, as stated in her official introduction and shown in Season 2 Episode 2. <br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Mari has a slim figure with light blond hair that she has tied into a braided headband with a loop on the left side and bright green eyes.{{clr}}<br />

<br />
== Etymology ==<br />
<br />
* The name '''Mari''' means "ball" (鞠) ('''ma''') and "white jasmine" (莉) ('''ri''').<br />
* Mari's surname '''Ohara''' means "small" (小) ('''o''') and "field, plain" (原) ('''hara''').<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*Mari fulfills the smile attribute of the Aqours third years.<br />
*In real life, Mari's home is based on the actual [https://goo.gl/maps/FCxgs3kisEk Awashima Hotel], currently the Wyndham Grand Awashima.<br />
*Unlike the rest of Aqours, Mari wears a turquoise vest in her summer uniform and wears white socks as opposed to black socks.<br />
*Mari has similar features to µ's members [[Eli Ayase]] and [[Nozomi Tojo]].<br />
**Both Mari and Eli are blondes, the tallest of the group, foreigners, and third years.<br />
**Both Mari and Nozomi are Geminis, the bustiest of the group, fluent in English, and love to grope their fellow members.<br />
*Mari is the tallest of all of the Aqours characters at 163 cm (or 5'4"), which is ironic since her seiyuu is the shortest of Aqours seiyuus.<br />
*Mari is the oldest school idol of Aqours.<br />
*Mari is the second school idol to slap her childhood friend. The first being [[Umi Sonoda]].<br />
*Mari is the second character since Dia to run away from arranged marriages set up by her parents (in Mari's case, her mother).<br />
*In the [[Kimi no Kokoro wa Kagayaiteru kai?]] PV, Mari's personality was shown to be more quiet and reserved, compared to her anime personality, where she is more loud and energetic.<br />
*It was stated in Mari's SIF side stories that she has liked marching bands ever since she was a little girl.<br />

'''Chika Takami''' is the protagonist of ''[[Love Live! Sunshine!]]'' and the leader of [[Aqours]]. She is a second-year student at [[Uranohoshi Girls' High School]] during the anime. Following the events of ''[[Love Live! Sunshine!! The School Idol Movie: Over The Rainbow]]'', she transfers to [[Numazu High School]]. In addition to Aqours, she is also the leader of the subunit [[CYaRon!]] Her image color is mikan orange.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Chika is the youngest daughter of the Takami family, who owns and operates a ryokan in Uchiura. She lives with her parents, her two older sisters (Shima and Mito) and their pet dog (Shiitake). She is childhood friends with [[Kanan Matsuura]] and [[You Watanabe]]. In the anime, [[Riko Sakurauchi]] and her family moves into the house neighboring Chika's ryokan. Her mother and her sisters both attended Uranohoshi.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
As the leader of Aqours, Chika is characterized by her charisma and sociability, traits that lead her to push others toward realizing their potential. Chika's unwavering optimism and resilience are central to her character. Despite setbacks, such as receiving no votes in a Tokyo competition, she remains steadfast in her belief that perseverance can transform the ordinary into something extraordinary.<br />
<br />
At the beginning of the series, Chika perceives herself as ordinary. This is especially true when she compares herself to her more accomplished childhood friends, You and Kanan. Her perspective shifts upon witnessing a performance by μ's in Akihabara, inspiring her to believe that with determination, even someone like her can achieve greatness. This revelation motivates her to form Aqours.<br />
<br />
While Chika remains resilient and charismatic throughout the anime, she is tested by the challenges she faces. On a few occasions, she shows a far less cheerful side of herself. While she is endlessly optimistic, she is no less aware of the many people who rely on her and are counting on Aqours. <br />
<br />
Chika is not traditionally "smart" in the academic sense, often struggling with schoolwork and coming off as clumsy or impulsive. She often acts very goofy or clueless. <br />
<br />
== Clubs and Hobbies ==<br />
Chika is talented in horizontal bar, table tennis, and calligraphy. She also loves softball and going to karaoke booths.<ref>Dengeki G's Magazine July 2015</ref><br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Chika has short orange hair that falls just above her shoulders, usually styled with a small green hair clip on the left side. Her eyes are a warm, golden-brown color. She’s most often seen in her school uniform. Chika has a slim, petite build that reflects her active and energetic nature. Her expressions are full of life, frequently showing a big smile.<br />

== Chronology ==<br />
<br />
== Etymology ==<br />
The name '''Chika''' means "thousand" (千) ('''chi''') and "song, poetry" (歌) ('''ka''').<br />
<br />
Chika's surname '''Takami''' means "tall, high" (高) ('''taka''') and "sea, ocean" (海) ('''mi''').<ref>Sourced as-is from love-live.fandom.com</ref><br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
<br />
* Chika's favorite food, mikan, is a kind of orange commonly grown in Shizuoka prefecture. Numazu specifically is known for a variety called jutaro mikan, and Chika has appeared in promotional material (and packaging) for this type of mikan.<ref>https://savorjp.info/food/foods/%E3%81%BF%E3%81%8B%E3%82%93/6076/</ref><br />
* Chika was inspired to become a school idol after seeing [[μ's]] perform, especially admiring [[Honoka Kousaka]].<br />
* When she was younger, Chika kept her hair longer. At some point, she decided it would be easier to maintain if she kept it short.<ref>Dengeki G's Magazine September 2016</ref><br />

<br />
'''Kanan Matsuura''' is a main character in [[Love Live! Sunshine!!]]. She was a third-year student at Uranohoshi Girls' High School and a member of [[Aqours]] until her graduation in the anime's finale.<br />
<br />
She is a member of AZALEA, and was the original leader of Aqours when the group was first formed by she and her childhood friends, Mari Ohara and Dia Kurosawa. Her image color is emerald green.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Kanan is a third-year student living on the offshore island of Awashima with her grandfather, who runs a diving shop there. In the anime, she had a hard time attending classes as she must take care of the shop while her father recovers from a fractured bone. She is able to attend classes from Season 1 Episode 9 onwards. Kanan is childhood friends with Chika Takami, You Watanabe, Dia Kurosawa and Mari Ohara.<br />
<br />
In Season 1 Episodes 6, 8 and 9, it is revealed Kanan had actually formed a school idol group with Mari and Dia two years ago, having convinced the former to join. However, Mari had suffered an injury right before their performance, so she and Dia decided to step down and not perform. After Mari travels to study abroad, she becomes more distant to her peers. It is until Mari learns the truth when Kanan reconciles with her old friend, and decides to become a school idol once again.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Breezily mature, Kanan rarely sweats the details and usually maintains a calm, cool and even stoic demeanor. Though she may seem a bit bland at first, she loves sports and nature, claiming that she is happy every day just by being able to see the dazzling sun, the blue skies and the sea. She isn't as talkative as her fellow third years, speaking the least of them in the anime, but is nevertheless friendly and laid-back.<br />
<br />
Kanan is a very kind, warm-hearted and altruistic individual. She deeply cares for her friends, being very supportive and often putting their needs above her own, going to great lengths to ensure they get what she thinks is best for them. However, due to this, Kanan can fail to realize the others' feelings the same way she does, and she will go to the same lengths to hide the truth if it will hurt the person. This particularly caused her friend, Mari, to accept the chance of studying abroad when in reality she didn't want to, as Mari was content with being with her friends.<br />
<br />
After Mari goes to study abroad, this causes Kanan to live with the weight of her lie, acting much more distant and aloof to Mari when she returns a year and a half later to Uranohoshi. When Mari learns the truth in Season 1 Episode 9, confronting Kanan and expressing how much she cares for her, Kanan finally reconciles with her old friend, stops being distant, and becomes friendly once again.<br />
<br />
Due to the fact the second years are considered "the heart" of Aqours, Kanan has some difficulty relating to the first years, which is shared with Mari; this is due to her preference for the outdoors and for sports. Season 2 Episode 2 explores this, and after a rainy evening forces the girls to stay indoors, the first and third years are able to relate to the others, with Kanan seemingly relating to Hanamaru Kunikida the most.<br />
<br />
While athletic, mature and composed, Kanan has a sweet and soft personality. She is also afraid of strange, creaking sounds as seen in Season 2 Episode 2, and afraid of heights as seen in Season 2 Episode 8. She also likes hugs ever since her childhood, and will often hug her friends if given the opportunity, usually declaring her catchphrase "Hagu shiyo" (ハグしよ "Let's hug") before so.<br />
<br />
Although Kanan is intelligent and level-headed, she doesn't get very good grades. This is due to her poor attendance at school due to the fact she must help her family with work; with that said, it's also seen she doesn't like reading and easily gets tired of it.<br />

She was a re-enrolled third-year student at [[Uranohoshi Girls' High School]] until she graduated in the anime's [[Our Own Radiance|series finale]]. She is a member of [[Guilty Kiss]], a sub-unit under [[Aqours]] and was a member of the original group. Her image color is violet.<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
Mari is a third-year student whose parents (her mother and Italian-American father) manage a hotel chain, Ohara Hotels and Resorts, including [[Hotel Ohara]] on Awashima Island (based on the actual [https://www.google.com/maps/place/Awashima+Hotel/@35.0358862,138.8865076,17.75z Awashima Hotel], currently the Wyndham Grand Awashima) where Mari lives in a suite, which proves her upbringing from a very wealthy family.<ref name="LLSS translated intro">[http://www.lovelive-anime.jp/uranohoshi/worldwide/member.php Official Character Introductions]</ref> She's childhood friends with [[Kanan Matsuura]] and [[Dia Kurosawa]], knowing them since elementary school.<br />
<br />
Due to her part Italian-American upbringing, Mari speaks with an accent and often inserts English words into her speech every few lines (in the English dub, the English words are replaced with Italian words).<ref>[[Koi ni Naritai AQUARIUM|Koi ni Naritai AQUARIUM Radio Dramas]]</ref> She also tends to speak in the third-person.<br />
<br />
She is first seen in [[I Want to Shine!!|the first episode]] flying in the family's helicopter, before formally appearing in [[First Step|Episode 3]], where she becomes the director of Uranohoshi Girls' High School (despite still being a student) after her family contributed a large amount of money to the school. [[Let's Make a PV|Season 1 Episodes 6]], [[Isn't it Frustrating|8]] and [[Young DREAMER|9]] reveal that she, Kanan and Dia formed a school idol group two years ago while on their first year, Kanan having convinced Mari to join. However, Mari had suffered an injury right before an important performance, so Kanan and Dia decided to step down and not perform. Later on, Mari leaves Uchiura to study abroad after the three disband their school idol group. Once Mari learns the truth in Episode 9, she confronts Kanan over it, but both reconcile with the other and decide to become school idols once again, joining Aqours alongside Dia.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Mari has a cheerful, eccentric and mischievous personality, makes many jokes, and often prefers to work by herself. She always keeps her chin up when faced with hardship so as not to burden others, and is ready to try her hand at anything. However, as a half-foreigner, she does not feel that she is very suited to being a Japanese-style idol. <br />
<br />
Despite Mari's cheerful personality, there are times when she can be serious as shown in Season 1 Episode 9.<br />
<br />
Mari speaks with an accent, and she has a high, cheerful voice. Mari often inserts English words (Italian in the English dub) into her sentences, but when she is sad or serious, the pitch of her voice becomes lower, she loses her accent, and she uses English words less.<br />
<br />
==Clubs and Hobbies==<br />
Mari's hobbies include sports and horseback riding, and her talent is in her flexibility and singing. Her favorite genre of music is industrial metal, as stated in her official introduction and shown in Season 2 Episode 2. <br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Mari has a slim figure with light blond hair that she has tied into a braided headband with a loop on the left side and bright green eyes.{{clr}}<br />

==Chronology==<br />
<br />
==Other Data==<br />
<br />
== Etymology ==<br />
<br />
* The name '''Mari''' means "ball" (鞠) ('''ma''') and "white jasmine" (莉) ('''ri''').<br />
* Mari's surname '''Ohara''' means "small" (小) ('''o''') and "field, plain" (原) ('''hara''').<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*Mari fulfills the smile attribute of the Aqours third years.<br />
*In real life, Mari's home is based on the actual [https://goo.gl/maps/FCxgs3kisEk Awashima Hotel], currently the Wyndham Grand Awashima.<br />
*Unlike the rest of Aqours, Mari wears a turquoise vest in her summer uniform and wears white socks as opposed to black socks.<br />
*Mari has similar features to µ's members [[Eli Ayase]] and [[Nozomi Tojo]].<br />
**Both Mari and Eli are blondes, the tallest of the group, foreigners, and third years.<br />
**Both Mari and Nozomi are Geminis, the bustiest of the group, fluent in English, and love to grope their fellow members.<br />
*Mari is the tallest of all of the Aqours characters at 163 cm (or 5'4"), which is ironic since her seiyuu is the shortest of Aqours seiyuus.<br />
*Mari is the oldest school idol of Aqours.<br />
*Mari is the second school idol to slap her childhood friend. The first being [[Umi Sonoda]].<br />
*Mari is the second character since Dia to run away from arranged marriages set up by her parents (in Mari's case, her mother).<br />
*In the [[Kimi no Kokoro wa Kagayaiteru kai?]] PV, Mari's personality was shown to be more quiet and reserved, compared to her anime personality, where she is more loud and energetic.<br />
*It was stated in Mari's SIF side stories that she has liked marching bands ever since she was a little girl.<br />

'''Ruby Kurosawa''' is a main character in ''[[Love Live! Sunshine!!]]''. She is a second-year student at [[Numazu High School]]. She is a member of [[CYaRon!]] and [[YYY]], two sub-units under [[Aqours]]. She is also a member of the special sub-unit [[AiScReam]]. Her image color is pink.<ref>https://odex-anime.myshopify.com/products/lovelive-series-9th-anniversary-love-live-fest-love-live-blade-fest-ver-ラブライブレード</ref><br />
<br />
She was a first-year student at both [[Uranohoshi Girls' High School]] prior to its closure and [[Seishin High School]] (albeit temporarily) before fully integrated into Numazu High.<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
Ruby is a first year student who is the younger sister of [[Dia Kurosawa]], who she shares a strong bond with. She is from an old family involved in fishing management whose name is well-known around the area. The Kurosawa family also owns a number of companies including real estate, entertainment, human resources and restaurant management.<ref>LL!SS!! Season 1 Volume 7 Blu-Ray - School idol diary Chapter Aqours's Summer Splash</ref> Ruby is almost always nearby her best friend, [[Hanamaru Kunikida]].<br />
<br />
In the anime, in [[I Want to Shine!!|the first episode]], Ruby is shown to display a big interest in school idols. [[Two Girls' Feelings|Season 1 Episode 4]] shows that she used to be a fan of school idols, sharing this hobby with Dia, although something caused her older sister to seemingly lose that interest, which is revealed in [[Let's Make a PV|Season 1 Episodes 6]], [[Isn't it Frustrating|8]] and [[Young DREAMER|9]] to be Dia's failure as a school idol. Ruby's love for school idols remained intact, but the event made her secretly keep it away from her sister. She later joins Aqours in Season 1 Episode 4, after counting with her sister's support.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Ruby is very shy and timid, which makes it hard for her to get along with other people. She has a tendency to utter or scream "Pigii!!!" when she doesn't like something; in the event she screams, [[:File:LLSS_S1Ep1_101.png|her face will turn red as she does so]]. She has never talked to any males besides her father before, so she has always been bad at dealing with the male gender. Although she is fearful and easily upset, she does has a tough interior forged by her role as the daughter of a rich, well-known family.<br />
<br />
Ruby is very close to her friend, Hanamaru. She also meets [[Leah Kazuno]] in [[TOKYO]], who she also becomes very close with.<br />
<br />
From a different perspective, Ruby is adaptable and mostly admired by her friends, and they support her no matter what; despite the fact the Second Years are considered "the heart" of Aqours, Ruby does not have difficulty getting along with the rest of the group unlike her fellow First Years' or the Third Years', as seen in [[The Sound of Rain|Season 2 Episode 2]]. Her catchphrase is {{Nihongo|"Ganbarubii!"|がんばルビィ！|lit. "Rubesty"}}, a portmanteau between {{Nihongo|"ganbaru"|頑張る|try with full effort}} and her own name; she uses this phrase to encourage herself or others to do their very best. Ruby also speaks in the third person from time to time, just like Hanamaru. However, she tends to use "watashi" as a first-person pronoun.<br />
<br />
Due to the strong bond she shares with her sister Dia, Ruby will immediately display her tough interior and defend her sister when a negative point of her is brought up, as seen in [[HAKODATE|Season 2 Episode 8]]. Ruby is also shown to have a playful and mischievous side of her when she teases [[Yoshiko Tsushima]]'s Fallen Angel behavior and her embarrassing moments (alongside Hanamaru), which annoys Yoshiko all the time. She also despises spicy food, as seen in [[We've Got Stewshine|Season 1 Episode 10]], when she eats a takoyaki filled with tabasco sauce instead of octopus sauce.<br />
<br />
==Clubs and Hobbies==<br />
Her hobbies are needlework and fashion. Her talent is in coordinating outfits, which makes her, alongside [[You Watanabe]], Aqours' wardrobe supervisor. Like her sister Dia, she displays an admiration for other idols, despite coming from a traditional family.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Ruby is short with a slim figure and semi-long red hair which she ties into twintails and turquoise eyes.<br />

<br />
'''Hanamaru Kunikida''' is a main character in ''[[Love Live! Sunshine!!]]''. She is a second-year student at [[Numazu High School]]. She is a member of [[AZALEA]], a sub-unit under [[Aqours]]. Her image color is yellow.<br />
<br />
She was a first-year student at both [[Uranohoshi Girls' High School]] prior to its closure and [[Seishin High School]] (albeit temporarily) before fully integrated into Numazu High.<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
Hanamaru, known as "Maru" for short (by herself and her friends), is a first year student and the daughter of a family who has run a nearby temple for generations. She lives with her grandparents, and since she does not have a computer, she often reads a lot. Hanamaru is [[Ruby Kurosawa]]'s best friend, and both are often seen near the other. She also attended the same kindergarten as [[Yoshiko Tsushima]], also one of her friends.<br />
<br />
Hanamaru has a distinctive verbal tic and dialect, tending to end her sentences with {{Nihongo|"zura"|ずら}}, as well as using "ora" as a first-person pronoun to refer to herself.<br />
<br />
In the anime, in [[I Want to Shine!!|the first episode]], Hanamaru and Ruby are quickly approached by [[Chika Takami]], who invites them to be school idols. Confused, Hanamaru quickly dismisses the invitation. It is later revealed in [[Two Girls' Feelings|Season 1 Episode 4]] that Hanamaru actually was interested in school idols, especially after seeing a picture of [[Rin Hoshizora]] from [[Muse|µ's]], but couldn't bring herself to being a school idol herself because of her appearance and lack of physical condition. She talks Ruby's sister, [[Dia Kurosawa]], into paying attention to what her sister actually wants, which was being a school idol. After Ruby joins Aqours, she tells Hanamaru about the story of Rin and µ's, and Hanamaru finally decides to join Aqours, supporting Ruby in her endeavor.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Hanamaru is a hardworking girl who diligently works at her family's temple. She spends a lot of time reading alone and is easily distracted by books. Since she was raised as a temple girl, Hanamaru does not watch television much, nor does she use the internet, making her outdated. Because of this, she is fascinated with modern technology, yelling her catchphrase {{Nihongo|"Mirai zura!"|未来ずら|"It's the future, zura!"}} when she sees something advanced such as a computer. She was often teased due to this, but was usually defended by her best friend Ruby; however, the first time it happened, Ruby ended up crying, causing Hanamaru to comfort her instead.<br />
<br />
Hanamaru seems to be quite self-depreciating, calling herself a "chibi procrastinator" and "neither cute nor interesting". She aspires to be like Ruby, whom she sees as "beautiful, cute and dazzling". She is also gentle and caring for those around her. Despite her appearance, Hanamaru is also smart and not easily fooled.<br />
<br />
Due to the fact the Second Years are considered "the heart" of Aqours, Hanamaru has some difficulty relating to the Third Years, which is shared with Yoshiko; this is due to her preference for the indoors and for calmer activities. Season 2 Episode 2 explores this, and after a rainy evening forces the girls to stay indoors, the First and Third Years are able to relate to the others, with Hanamaru seemingly relating to [[Kanan Matsuura]] the most.<br />
<br />
Hanamaru is shown to have a playful and mischievous side; this is especially present when she teases Yoshiko's Fallen Angel behavior and her embarrassing moments (often alongside Ruby), which annoys Yoshiko all the time. She has a surprisingly large appetite, able to eat a food helping quickly and often asking for another one immediately after, and is usually seen eating sweets in the background, the most common of them being a roll of noppo bread.<br />
<br />
In Season 1 Episode 4, Hanamaru stated that since she was little, she was a quiet girl who played off to the side.<br />
<br />
==Clubs and Hobbies==<br />
She is a gifted singer, earning her a spot in a choir. She loves reading and has a deep fondness for Japanese literature, often spending most of her time in the school library, which she helps out at. Her ambition is to become a writer some day.<ref>Maru's 4-koma Drop 1, Dengeki G's Magazine October 2015 issue</ref><br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Hanamaru is short with a slim figure with brownish gold hair and amber eyes. <br />

<br />

<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Hanamaru fulfills the smile attribute of the Aqours first years.<br />
*The name '''Hanamaru''' means "flower, blossom" (花) ('''hana''') and "round, circle, pills, purity, suffix for ship names, complete" (丸) ('''maru'''), in which her character symbol consists of a spiral and a flower.<br />
* Hanamaru's surname '''Kunikida''' means "country" (国) ('''kuni'''), "tree, wood" (木) ('''ki''') and "field, rice paddy" (田) ('''ta'''/'''da'''). <br />
*Unlike the rest of Aqours, Hanamaru wears a yellow cardigan in her winter uniform, similar to [[Nico Yazawa]] wearing her pink cardigan as part of her summer uniform in the original [[Love Live!]].<br />
*Hanamaru is the fictional artist of ''Maru's 4-koma'', a 4-frame comic strip detailing Aqours's activities that started serialization in Dengeki G's Magazine October 2015.<br />
*In real life, Hanamaru's home is based on [https://goo.gl/maps/6ygwXbJRJxo Raikoji Temple].<br />
*Unlike the other girls, Yoshiko calls Hanamaru {{Nihongo|"Zuramaru"|ずら丸}}, as a reference to the latter's verbal tic.<br />
**This is also done by [[Ai Miyashita]] in [[Love Live! School Idol Festival ALL STARS]].<br />
*Hanamaru is the shortest of the Aqours characters at 152 cm (or 5'0"), which is ironic since her seiyuu is the tallest of the Aqours seiyuus.<br />

<br />
'''You Watanabe''' (渡辺曜) is a main character in ''[[Love Live! Sunshine!!]]''. She is a second year at [[Uranohoshi Girls' High School]]. She is a member of [[CYaRon!]] and [[YYY]] (わいわいわい), two sub-units under [[Aqours]]. Her image color is light blue.<br />
<br />
She was a second-year student at both Uranohoshi Girls' High School prior to its closure and [[Seishin High School]] (albeit temporarily) before fully integrated into [[Numazu High]], ending the series going into her third year.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
She is a second year and a classmate of [[Chika Takami]], who is her childhood friend along with [[Kanan Matsuura]]. Her catchphrase is "Yousoro!" (ヨーソロー！ ''lit. Aye Aye!''), on which she salutes like a sailor. This is often accompanied by the phrase "Zensoku zenshin!" (全速前進！ ''Full speed ahead!''). Her live concert call and response is "[Location or Anata] ni Mukatte, Zensoku Zenshin..."->"Yousoro!"->"Kara no"->"Keirei!".<br />
<br />
Her father captains a ferry and she would like to have his job someday. While her father is not shown in the original TV series he is mentioned often by You. There was a illustration of her father for the series ''[[Genjitsu no Yohane -SUNSHINE in the MIRROR-]],'' in which it is shown that he has short light greyish-brown hair and blue eyes very similar to You. <br />
<br />
In the first episode, on a trip to Tokyo with Chika, the two learned about school idols and the Love Live! tournament after seeing a screen with school idols at the Akiba Dome, including µ's. After Chika becomes fascinated with the idea of school idols, You follows her into opening a school idol club of their own at their high school. Chika and You being the founding members of Aqours (the second rendition), go on to recruit the rest of the seven members throughout the series.<br />
<br />
Within the school idol club she is apart of the sub-units CYaRon! and YYY, CYaRon consists of You, Chika, and [[Ruby Kurosawa]]. Their unit color is orange, and their fans are called "CYaRotomo" (しゃろとも ''Sharotomo''). YYY is a subunit formed under Aqours in honor of the [[Uranohoshi Girls' High School RADIO]] with the three members who served as hosts for the radio show, those members being You, Ruby, and [[Yoshiko Tsushima]]. The Image Color for YYY is bubble color. <br />
<br />
She also has a cousin named [[Tsuki Watanabe]], who lived in Italy and now is a third year student at Numazu High School. <br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
You is an energetic, tomboyish and positive girl with an outlook of focusing on her goals, which can sometimes cause her to take action without thinking things over first. Her positive attitude also makes her one of the more charismatic members of the group. Since she would like to have her father's job as the captain of a ferry, she tends to salute when she says her catchphrase "Yousoro!", often in the place of "hello" and "good-bye".<br />
<br />
You loves the friendship she has forged with Chika over the years, so she slowly grew jealous of [[Riko Sakurauchi]]'s friendship with Chika when she invites her to join Aqours. This is hinted in Season 1 Episode 10, and is expanded upon in Season 1 Episode 11 when the members of Aqours find out the group originally consisted of her and Chika, rather than Chika and Riko. After [[Mari Ohara]] confronts her on it, You expresses her feelings to her best friend, and stops being jealous of Riko.<br />
<br />
== Clubs and Hobbies ==<br />
Due to her upbringing, her daily routine includes weight training and running. You is shown to have many talents: one of them is high diving, and she is good enough at it to qualify for the national team. She can also intuitively forecast the weather. She is also a very good chef, able to cook and turn Yoshiko Tsushima's and Mari's prepared dishes into curry as seen in Season 1 Episode 10. She loves the uniforms of uniformed occupations, which is why she acts as Aqours' wardrobe supervisor alongside Ruby Kurosawa, able to illustrate concept art of idol costumes and make them with no prior experience<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
You has a slim figure and is athletic. She has curly light greyish-brown hair that reaches her shoulders and has light blue eyes. She is most often seen in her sailor uniform with both summer and winter variants, the summer being short sleeved with a necktie and the winter being long sleeved with a bowtie. In some depictions there is also a black sailor uniform with long sleeves and a white necktie with a similar appearance to the summer uniform. While often depicted wearing glasses she can be seen wearing them in episode 11 of the first season of the anime.<br />
<br />
You's main attire other than the Uranohoshi School Uniform, mainly consists of clothing such as shorts and hoodies along with baseball caps leaning towards her more tomboyish traits. She is also depicted in media such as Music Video's and Magazines wearing a one piece competition swimsuit as one of her main outfits that differs in appearance to the rest of the main characters due to her being in the Swimming/Diving club.<br />
<br />
== Songs ==<br />
Aside from having songs with Aqours and Sub-units within the club, You has 4 solo songs so far. The first solo song of hers to be release was [[Beginner's Sailing]] with the limited edition release of Love Live! Sunshine!! TV Anime Season 2 Blu-ray 4. Her second solo song, [[Totsuzen GIRL]] (突然GIRL ''lit. Spontaneous GIRL''), was released alongside Beginner's Sailing on her first solo album on April 17th, 2021. Her third solo song, [[Paradise Chime]], was released with her second solo album on April 17th, 2022. With the third solo album and her fourth solo song [[Ao no Aurora]] releasing on the same date the following year. Her fourth solo album does not contain any new solo songs.<br />
<br />
With You winning the first Love Live! Sunshine!! popularity poll, she was selected as the center for Aqours second single [[Koi ni Naritai AQUARIUM]] (恋になりたいAQUARIUM ''lit. I Want To Fall In Love AQUARIUM''), which released along with a music video on April 27th, 2016 on both CD and DVD/Blu-ray disc. The music video for the single portrays her dynamics with her fellow second years Chika and Riko which would play out in a similar way in the anime later that year. <br />
<br />
While not being a You specific song, she is also the center for Aqours Pirates Desire. Which is the coupling song for Fantastic Departure!, the theme song for [[Aqours 6th Love Live! Dome Tour]] which was cancelled and later replaced by the [[Aqours 6th LoveLive! ～KU-RU-KU-RU Rock ‘n’ Roll TOUR～]]. <br />

}}'''Yoshiko Tsushima''' is a main character in [[Love Live! Sunshine!]] and a member of [[Aqours]]. She is a first-year student at Uranohoshi Girls' High School during the anime. Following the events of [[Love Live! Sunshine!! The School Idol Movie: Over The Rainbow]], she transfers to [[Numazu High School]] as a second year. She is also a member of Aqours' subunit, [[Guilty Kiss]]. Her image color is white, but she is generally represented as grey. <br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Yoshiko lives in the urban core of Numazu with her family. When she was very young, she attended a kindergarten. It was here that she met [[Hanamaru Kunikida]], and the two formed a sort of early friendship. <br />
<br />
While attending kindergarten, Yoshiko developed a feeling that she was somehow different from her peers. This, in addition to her habitual bad fortune, led her to believe that she was a "fallen angel". It was at this time that she began preferring to go by the name of "Yohane". She developed an interest in magic and the occult. This persisted throughout middle school and made Yoshiko feel even further ostracized from her peers. <br />
<br />
At the beginning of the anime, Yoshiko attends her first day at Uranohoshi with the intention of abandoning her fallen angel persona. After continuously relapsing into "Yohane", she attempts to avoid attending school. <br />
<br />
After being discovered by Hanamaru, Yoshiko is invited to join Aqours by the group's leader [[Chika Takami]]. Despite some insecurities she experiences over her worthiness as an idol, she is accepted and welcomed by Chika and the other members. Yoshiko eventually commits to being a permanent member of the group at the end of [["Yohane Descends"]].<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Yoshiko's personality can differ depending on whether or not she is performing her "Yohane" persona or not. As "Yohane", Yoshiko acts very theatrical and menacing. She is known to break into monologue or cause a large public scene. Yoshiko is very irritated when called by her real name, and will correct anyone who doesn't address her as such (something that becomes a running gag in the anime). As "Yohane", Yoshiko refers to her fans and friends alike as "little demons". In her free time, Yoshiko live streams online as "Yohane" in an attempt to grow and "convert" a legion of "little demons". <br />
<br />
When not performing as "Yohane", Yoshiko can be rather reserved and self-conscious. As a young child, Yoshiko developed her persona as a way to differentiate herself and make herself feel unique. As she grows older, she loses a desire to be unique and begins to wonder if life would be better as a "normal" girl. She is aware of how her fallen angel persona scares people away from her, and holds some desire to live a "normal" life. It is only after she is accepted by Aqours that Yoshiko decides it's okay for her to continue to embrace and continue a life as "Yohane". <br />
<br />
Yoshiko is noted as having incredibly bad luck, something she says is a result of her status as a fallen angel. In her character introduction, it is described that "whenever she goes on a field trip, rain is bound to follow. Whenever the snow falls, she always slips on it. She's never won anything in the lucky grab at the convenience store. She always catches the flu right before finals."<ref>https://www.lovelive-anime.jp/uranohoshi/worldwide/member.php</ref> This bad luck occasionally spells misfortune for Aqours, and Yoshiko is very ashamed of her luck's contribution to this misfortune. <br />
<br />
Despite her sometimes loud and performative nature, Yoshiko is kind and caring to her friends. She feels indebted to her Aqours colleagues for their embrace of her weirdness. During serious moments, such as during "[[The Time Left]]", Yoshiko is capable of putting her fallen angel act aside and approaching situations with genuine compassion. <br />
<br />
== Clubs and Hobbies ==<br />
In the anime, Yoshiko is shown to practice fortune telling (to mixed results). She is also depicted in official art as playing video games, and live streaming. In [[Love Live! School Idol Festival ALLSTARS]], Yoshiko begins uploading video game footage online as a sort of "Lets Play" youtuber. Yoshiko is responsible for video editing in Aqours, and is also shown helping with costume design.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Yoshiko Tsushima has long, dark blue hair usually styled in a side bun on the left of her head. Her eyes are a striking deep magenta. Outside of school, she typical wears stylish, often dark colored, gothic outfits. Yoshiko has a slender build and carries herself with a dramatic, confident posture.<br />

== Etymology ==<br />
<br />
* The name '''Yoshiko''' means "good/goodness, right, virtue" (善) ('''yoshi''') and "child" (子) ('''ko'''), which translates to "good life child" altogether.<br />
** Her nickname '''Yohane''' (ヨハネ) is a common Japanese biblical spelling of "John". The latter is ultimately derived from the Hebrew male given name ''Yôḥānān'', a shortened form of ''Yəhôḥānān'' (which roughly means "God is gracious").<br />
* Yoshiko's surname '''Tsushima''' means "haven, port, harbor, ferry" (津) ('''tsu''') and "island" (島) ('''shima'''). <ref>Sourced as-is from https://love-live.fandom.com/</ref><br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
<br />
* Yoshiko is the only member of Aqours to live in the urban core of Numazu. The other 8 members live in the smaller rural area of Uchiura (or specifically in Mari & Kanan's case, Awashima Island). <br />
* Yoshiko's apartment building is styled after a real building in Numazu, located beside Numazu Riverside Hotel. The hotel has a display cabinet located near the main lobby with Aqours (and especially Yoshiko) merchandise displayed<br />
* Yoshiko is the star of the only Love Live! anime spinoff (to date), [[Yohane the Parhelion -SUNSHINE in the MIRROR-]]<br />
* Yoshiko seems to enjoy spicy food. In the anime, she prepares takoyaki filled with tabasco sauce. She calls these "Tears of the Fallen Angel".<br />
* Despite her sometimes aloof and clumsy personality, Yoshiko is academically quite intelligent. <br />

'''Chika Takami''' is the protagonist of ''[[Love Live! Sunshine!]]'' and the leader of [[Aqours]]. She is a second-year student at [[Uranohoshi Girls' High School]] during the anime. Following the events of ''[[Love Live! Sunshine!! The School Idol Movie: Over The Rainbow]]'', she transfers to [[Numazu High School]]. In addition to Aqours, she is also the leader of the subunit [[CYaRon!]] Her image color is mikan orange.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Chika is the youngest daughter of the Takami family, who owns and operates a ryokan in Uchiura. She lives with her parents, her two older sisters (Shima and Mito) and their pet dog (Shiitake). She is childhood friends with [[Kanan Matsuura]] and [[You Watanabe]]. In the anime, [[Riko Sakurauchi]] and her family moves into the house neighboring Chika's ryokan. Her mother and her sisters both attended Uranohoshi.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
As the leader of Aqours, Chika is characterized by her charisma and sociability, traits that lead her to push others toward realizing their potential. Chika's unwavering optimism and resilience are central to her character. Despite setbacks, such as receiving no votes in a Tokyo competition, she remains steadfast in her belief that perseverance can transform the ordinary into something extraordinary.<br />
<br />
At the beginning of the series, Chika perceives herself as ordinary. This is especially true when she compares herself to her more accomplished childhood friends, You and Kanan. Her perspective shifts upon witnessing a performance by μ's in Akihabara, inspiring her to believe that with determination, even someone like her can achieve greatness. This revelation motivates her to form Aqours.<br />
<br />
While Chika remains resilient and charismatic throughout the anime, she is tested by the challenges she faces. On a few occasions, she shows a far less cheerful side of herself. While she is endlessly optimistic, she is no less aware of the many people who rely on her and are counting on Aqours. <br />
<br />
Chika is not traditionally "smart" in the academic sense, often struggling with schoolwork and coming off as clumsy or impulsive. She often acts very goofy or clueless. <br />
<br />
== Clubs and Hobbies ==<br />
Chika is talented in horizontal bar, table tennis, and calligraphy. She also loves softball and going to karaoke booths.<ref>Dengeki G's Magazine July 2015</ref><br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Chika has short orange hair that falls just above her shoulders, usually styled with a small green hair clip on the left side. Her eyes are a warm, golden-brown color. She’s most often seen in her school uniform. Chika has a slim, petite build that reflects her active and energetic nature. Her expressions are full of life, frequently showing a big smile.<br />

'''Chika Takami''' is the protagonist of ''[[Love Live! Sunshine!]]'' and the leader of [[Aqours]]. She is a second-year student at [[Uranohoshi Girls' High School]] during the anime. Following the events of ''[[Love Live! Sunshine!! The School Idol Movie: Over The Rainbow]]'', she transfers to [[Numazu High School]]. In addition to Aqours, she is also the leader of the subunit [[CYaRon!]] Her image color is mikan orange.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Chika is the youngest daughter of the Takami family, who owns and operates a ryokan in Uchiura. She lives with her parents, her two older sisters (Shima and Mito) and their pet dog (Shiitake). She is childhood friends with [[Kanan Matsuura]] and [[You Watanabe]]. In the anime, [[Riko Sakurauchi]] and her family moves into the house neighboring Chika's ryokan. Her mother and her sisters both attended Uranohoshi.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
As the leader of Aqours, Chika is characterized by her charisma and sociability, traits that lead her to push others toward realizing their potential. Chika's unwavering optimism and resilience are central to her character. Despite setbacks, such as receiving no votes in a Tokyo competition, she remains steadfast in her belief that perseverance can transform the ordinary into something extraordinary.<br />
<br />
At the beginning of the series, Chika perceives herself as ordinary. This is especially true when she compares herself to her more accomplished childhood friends, You and Kanan. Her perspective shifts upon witnessing a performance by μ's in Akihabara, inspiring her to believe that with determination, even someone like her can achieve greatness. This revelation motivates her to form Aqours.<br />
<br />
While Chika remains resilient and charismatic throughout the anime, she is tested by the challenges she faces. On a few occasions, she shows a far less cheerful side of herself. While she is endlessly optimistic, she is no less aware of the many people who rely on her and are counting on Aqours. <br />
<br />
Chika is not traditionally "smart" in the academic sense, often struggling with schoolwork and coming off as clumsy or impulsive. She often acts very goofy or clueless. <br />
<br />
== Clubs and Hobbies ==<br />
Chika is talented in horizontal bar, table tennis, and calligraphy. She also loves softball and going to karaoke booths.<ref>Dengeki G's Magazine July 2015</ref><br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Chika has short orange hair that falls just above her shoulders, usually styled with a small green hair clip on the left side. Her eyes are a warm, golden-brown color. She’s most often seen in her school uniform. Chika has a slim, petite build that reflects her active and energetic nature. Her expressions are full of life, frequently showing a big smile.<br />

'''Kanan Matsuura''' is a main character in [[Love Live! Sunshine!!]]. She was a third-year student at Uranohoshi Girls' High School and a member of [[Aqours]] until her graduation in the anime's finale.<br />
<br />
She is a member of AZALEA, and was the original leader of Aqours when the group was first formed by she and her childhood friends, Mari Ohara and Dia Kurosawa. Her image color is emerald green.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Kanan is a third-year student living on the offshore island of Awashima with her grandfather, who runs a diving shop there. In the anime, she had a hard time attending classes as she must take care of the shop while her father recovers from a fractured bone. She is able to attend classes from Season 1 Episode 9 onwards. Kanan is childhood friends with Chika Takami, You Watanabe, Dia Kurosawa and Mari Ohara.<br />
<br />
In Season 1 Episodes 6, 8 and 9, it is revealed Kanan had actually formed a school idol group with Mari and Dia two years ago, having convinced the former to join. However, Mari had suffered an injury right before their performance, so she and Dia decided to step down and not perform. After Mari travels to study abroad, she becomes more distant to her peers. It is until Mari learns the truth when Kanan reconciles with her old friend, and decides to become a school idol once again.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Breezily mature, Kanan rarely sweats the details and usually maintains a calm, cool and even stoic demeanor. Though she may seem a bit bland at first, she loves sports and nature, claiming that she is happy every day just by being able to see the dazzling sun, the blue skies and the sea. She isn't as talkative as her fellow third years, speaking the least of them in the anime, but is nevertheless friendly and laid-back.<br />
<br />
Kanan is a very kind, warm-hearted and altruistic individual. She deeply cares for her friends, being very supportive and often putting their needs above her own, going to great lengths to ensure they get what she thinks is best for them. However, due to this, Kanan can fail to realize the others' feelings the same way she does, and she will go to the same lengths to hide the truth if it will hurt the person. This particularly caused her friend, Mari, to accept the chance of studying abroad when in reality she didn't want to, as Mari was content with being with her friends.<br />
<br />
After Mari goes to study abroad, this causes Kanan to live with the weight of her lie, acting much more distant and aloof to Mari when she returns a year and a half later to Uranohoshi. When Mari learns the truth in Season 1 Episode 9, confronting Kanan and expressing how much she cares for her, Kanan finally reconciles with her old friend, stops being distant, and becomes friendly once again.<br />
<br />
Due to the fact the second years are considered "the heart" of Aqours, Kanan has some difficulty relating to the first years, which is shared with Mari; this is due to her preference for the outdoors and for sports. Season 2 Episode 2 explores this, and after a rainy evening forces the girls to stay indoors, the first and third years are able to relate to the others, with Kanan seemingly relating to Hanamaru Kunikida the most.<br />
<br />
While athletic, mature and composed, Kanan has a sweet and soft personality. She is also afraid of strange, creaking sounds as seen in Season 2 Episode 2, and afraid of heights as seen in Season 2 Episode 8. She also likes hugs ever since her childhood, and will often hug her friends if given the opportunity, usually declaring her catchphrase "Hagu shiyo" (ハグしよ "Let's hug") before so.<br />
<br />
Although Kanan is intelligent and level-headed, she doesn't get very good grades. This is due to her poor attendance at school due to the fact she must help her family with work; with that said, it's also seen she doesn't like reading and easily gets tired of it.<br />

'''Mari Ohara''' is a main character in ''[[Love Live! Sunshine!!]]''. She was a re-enrolled third-year student at [[Uranohoshi Girls' High School]] until she graduated in the anime's [[Our Own Radiance|series finale]]. She is a member of [[Guilty Kiss]], a sub-unit under [[Aqours]] and was a member of the original group. Her image color is violet.<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
Mari is a third-year student whose parents (her mother and Italian-American father) manage a hotel chain, Ohara Hotels and Resorts, including [[Hotel Ohara]] on Awashima Island (based on the actual [https://www.google.com/maps/place/Awashima+Hotel/@35.0358862,138.8865076,17.75z Awashima Hotel], currently the Wyndham Grand Awashima) where Mari lives in a suite, which proves her upbringing from a very wealthy family.<ref name="LLSS translated intro">[http://www.lovelive-anime.jp/uranohoshi/worldwide/member.php Official Character Introductions]</ref> She's childhood friends with [[Kanan Matsuura]] and [[Dia Kurosawa]], knowing them since elementary school.<br />
<br />
Due to her part Italian-American upbringing, Mari speaks with an accent and often inserts English words into her speech every few lines (in the English dub, the English words are replaced with Italian words).<ref>[[Koi ni Naritai AQUARIUM|Koi ni Naritai AQUARIUM Radio Dramas]]</ref> She also tends to speak in the third-person.<br />
<br />
She is first seen in [[I Want to Shine!!|the first episode]] flying in the family's helicopter, before formally appearing in [[First Step|Episode 3]], where she becomes the director of Uranohoshi Girls' High School (despite still being a student) after her family contributed a large amount of money to the school. [[Let's Make a PV|Season 1 Episodes 6]], [[Isn't it Frustrating|8]] and [[Young DREAMER|9]] reveal that she, Kanan and Dia formed a school idol group two years ago while on their first year, Kanan having convinced Mari to join. However, Mari had suffered an injury right before an important performance, so Kanan and Dia decided to step down and not perform. Later on, Mari leaves Uchiura to study abroad after the three disband their school idol group. Once Mari learns the truth in Episode 9, she confronts Kanan over it, but both reconcile with the other and decide to become school idols once again, joining Aqours alongside Dia.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Mari has a cheerful, eccentric and mischievous personality, makes many jokes, and often prefers to work by herself. She always keeps her chin up when faced with hardship so as not to burden others, and is ready to try her hand at anything. However, as a half-foreigner, she does not feel that she is very suited to being a Japanese-style idol. <br />
<br />
Despite Mari's cheerful personality, there are times when she can be serious as shown in Season 1 Episode 9.<br />
<br />
Mari speaks with an accent, and she has a high, cheerful voice. Mari often inserts English words (Italian in the English dub) into her sentences, but when she is sad or serious, the pitch of her voice becomes lower, she loses her accent, and she uses English words less.<br />
<br />
==Clubs and Hobbies==<br />
Mari's hobbies include sports and horseback riding, and her talent is in her flexibility and singing. Her favorite genre of music is industrial metal, as stated in her official introduction and shown in Season 2 Episode 2. <br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Mari has a slim figure with light blond hair that she has tied into a braided headband with a loop on the left side and bright green eyes.{{clr}}<br />

==Chronology==<br />
<br />
==Other Data==<br />
<br />
== Etymology ==<br />
<br />
* The name '''Mari''' means "ball" (鞠) ('''ma''') and "white jasmine" (莉) ('''ri''').<br />
* Mari's surname '''Ohara''' means "small" (小) ('''o''') and "field, plain" (原) ('''hara''').<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*Mari fulfills the smile attribute of the Aqours third years.<br />
*In real life, Mari's home is based on the actual [https://goo.gl/maps/FCxgs3kisEk Awashima Hotel], currently the Wyndham Grand Awashima.<br />
*Unlike the rest of Aqours, Mari wears a turquoise vest in her summer uniform and wears white socks as opposed to black socks.<br />
*Mari has similar features to µ's members [[Eli Ayase]] and [[Nozomi Tojo]].<br />
**Both Mari and Eli are blondes, the tallest of the group, foreigners, and third years.<br />
**Both Mari and Nozomi are Geminis, the bustiest of the group, fluent in English, and love to grope their fellow members.<br />
*Mari is the tallest of all of the Aqours characters at 163 cm (or 5'4"), which is ironic since her seiyuu is the shortest of Aqours seiyuus.<br />
*Mari is the oldest school idol of Aqours.<br />

'''You Watanabe''' (渡辺曜) is a main character in ''[[Love Live! Sunshine!!]]''. She is a second year at [[Uranohoshi Girls' High School]]. She is a member of [[CYaRon!]] and [[YYY]] (わいわいわい), two sub-units under [[Aqours]]. Her image color is light blue.<br />
<br />
She was a second-year student at both Uranohoshi Girls' High School prior to its closure and [[Seishin High School]] (albeit temporarily) before fully integrated into [[Numazu High]], ending the series going into her third year.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
She is a second year and a classmate of [[Chika Takami]], who is her childhood friend along with [[Kanan Matsuura]]. Her catchphrase is "Yousoro!" (ヨーソロー！ ''lit. Aye Aye!''), on which she salutes like a sailor. This is often accompanied by the phrase "Zensoku zenshin!" (全速前進！ ''Full speed ahead!''). Her live concert call and response is "[Location or Anata] ni Mukatte, Zensoku Zenshin..."->"Yousoro!"->"Kara no"->"Keirei!".<br />
<br />
Her father captains a ferry and she would like to have his job someday. While her father is not shown in the original TV series he is mentioned often by You. There was a illustration of her father for the series ''[[Genjitsu no Yohane -SUNSHINE in the MIRROR-]],'' in which it is shown that he has short light greyish-brown hair and blue eyes very similar to You. <br />
<br />
In the first episode, on a trip to Tokyo with Chika, the two learned about school idols and the Love Live! tournament after seeing a screen with school idols at the Akiba Dome, including µ's. After Chika becomes fascinated with the idea of school idols, You follows her into opening a school idol club of their own at their high school. Chika and You being the founding members of Aqours (the second rendition), go on to recruit the rest of the seven members throughout the series.<br />
<br />
Within the school idol club she is apart of the sub-units CYaRon! and YYY, CYaRon consists of You, Chika, and [[Ruby Kurosawa]]. Their unit color is orange, and their fans are called "CYaRotomo" (しゃろとも ''Sharotomo''). YYY is a subunit formed under Aqours in honor of the [[Uranohoshi Girls' High School RADIO]] with the three members who served as hosts for the radio show, those members being You, Ruby, and [[Yoshiko Tsushima]]. The Image Color for YYY is bubble color. <br />
<br />
She also has a cousin named [[Tsuki Watanabe]], who lived in Italy and now is a third year student at Numazu High School. <br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
You is an energetic, tomboyish and positive girl with an outlook of focusing on her goals, which can sometimes cause her to take action without thinking things over first. Her positive attitude also makes her one of the more charismatic members of the group. Since she would like to have her father's job as the captain of a ferry, she tends to salute when she says her catchphrase "Yousoro!", often in the place of "hello" and "good-bye".<br />
<br />
You loves the friendship she has forged with Chika over the years, so she slowly grew jealous of [[Riko Sakurauchi]]'s friendship with Chika when she invites her to join Aqours. This is hinted in Season 1 Episode 10, and is expanded upon in Season 1 Episode 11 when the members of Aqours find out the group originally consisted of her and Chika, rather than Chika and Riko. After [[Mari Ohara]] confronts her on it, You expresses her feelings to her best friend, and stops being jealous of Riko.<br />
<br />
== Clubs and Hobbies ==<br />
Due to her upbringing, her daily routine includes weight training and running. You is shown to have many talents: one of them is high diving, and she is good enough at it to qualify for the national team. She can also intuitively forecast the weather. She is also a very good chef, able to cook and turn Yoshiko Tsushima's and Mari's prepared dishes into curry as seen in Season 1 Episode 10. She loves the uniforms of uniformed occupations, which is why she acts as Aqours' wardrobe supervisor alongside Ruby Kurosawa, able to illustrate concept art of idol costumes and make them with no prior experience<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
You has a slim figure and is athletic. She has curly light greyish-brown hair that reaches her shoulders and has light blue eyes. She is most often seen in her sailor uniform with both summer and winter variants, the summer being short sleeved with a necktie and the winter being long sleeved with a bowtie. In some depictions there is also a black sailor uniform with long sleeves and a white necktie with a similar appearance to the summer uniform. While often depicted wearing glasses she can be seen wearing them in episode 11 of the first season of the anime.<br />
<br />
You's main attire other than the Uranohoshi School Uniform, mainly consists of clothing such as shorts and hoodies along with baseball caps leaning towards her more tomboyish traits. She is also depicted in media such as Music Video's and Magazines wearing a one piece competition swimsuit as one of her main outfits that differs in appearance to the rest of the main characters due to her being in the Swimming/Diving club.<br />
<br />
== Songs ==<br />
Aside from having songs with Aqours and Sub-units within the club, You has 4 solo songs so far. The first solo song of hers to be release was [[Beginner's Sailing]] with the limited edition release of Love Live! Sunshine!! TV Anime Season 2 Blu-ray 4. Her second solo song, [[Totsuzen GIRL]] (突然GIRL ''lit. Spontaneous GIRL''), was released alongside Beginner's Sailing on her first solo album on April 17th, 2021. Her third solo song, [[Paradise Chime]], was released with her second solo album on April 17th, 2022. With the third solo album and her fourth solo song [[Ao no Aurora]] releasing on the same date the following year. Her fourth solo album does not contain any new solo songs.<br />
<br />
With You winning the first Love Live! Sunshine!! popularity poll, she was selected as the center for Aqours second single [[Koi ni Naritai AQUARIUM]] (恋になりたいAQUARIUM ''lit. I Want To Fall In Love AQUARIUM''), which released along with a music video on April 27th, 2016 on both CD and DVD/Blu-ray disc. The music video for the single portrays her dynamics with her fellow second years Chika and Riko which would play out in a similar way in the anime later that year. <br />
<br />
While not being a You specific song, she is also the center for Aqours Pirates Desire. Which is the coupling song for Fantastic Departure!, the theme song for [[Aqours 6th Love Live! Dome Tour]] which was cancelled and later replaced by the [[Aqours 6th LoveLive! ～KU-RU-KU-RU Rock ‘n’ Roll TOUR～]]. <br />

==Chronology==<br />
<br />
==Other Data==<br />
<br />
== Etymology ==<br />
<br />
* The name '''You''' means "day/weekday, sun" (曜).<br />
* You's surname '''Watanabe''' means "transit, ford, ferry, cross, import, deliver, diameter, migrate" (渡) ('''wataru''') and "environs, boundary, border, vicinity" (辺) ('''be''').<br />
** '''Watanabe''' is is a common surname in Japan.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
<br />
* You fulfills the pure attribute of the Aqours second years.<br />
* In the early stages of Aqours, You was originally a first-year student.<br />
* You owns a white and yellow snapback with her name printed (YOU) in red letters, she usually wears it during practice.<br />
* In real life, You's home is based on Cafe Orandakan.<br />

** Using SIF attribute as another factor, this is further supported as You is a 2nd Year Pure, which is the same as Kotori's status and is the same attribute as Hanayo's.<br />
* "Yousoro" is a ship command which means to straighten the ship. After giving a steering instruction, the captain issues this command to tell the helmsman to straighten the ship in the direction it is facing now.<br />

==Chronology==<br />
<br />
==Other Data==<br />
<br />
== Etymology ==<br />
<br />
* The name '''You''' means "day/weekday, sun" (曜).<br />
* You's surname '''Watanabe''' means "transit, ford, ferry, cross, import, deliver, diameter, migrate" (渡) ('''wataru''') and "environs, boundary, border, vicinity" (辺) ('''be''').<br />
** '''Watanabe''' is is a common surname in Japan.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
<br />
* You fulfills the pure attribute of the Aqours second years.<br />
* In the early stages of Aqours, You was originally a first-year student.<br />
* You owns a white and yellow snapback with her name printed (YOU) in red letters, she usually wears it during practice.<br />
* In real life, You's home is based on Cafe Orandakan.<br />
* You has similar features to µ's members Kotori Minami and Hanayo Koizumi; her hair is similar in design to Hanayo's, but longer and looser (Hanayo's hair ends mid-neck while You's reaches down to her shoulders). She and Kotori share the same light greyish-brown hair color.<br />
** Using SIF attribute as another factor, this is further supported as You is a 2nd Year Pure, which is the same as Kotori's status and is the same attribute as Hanayo's.<br />
* "Yousoro" is a ship command which means to straighten the ship. After giving a steering instruction, the captain issues this command to tell the helmsman to straighten the ship in the direction it is facing now.<br />
* Since her name looks like the English pronoun, it leads to some puns and jokes by the fandom.<br />
* You was voted by fans on the AbemaTV special for SIF All-Stars in January as the Aqours member most likely to star in a morning drama.<br />
* You Watanabe was originally Japan's favorite Aqours girl. Winning the 2nd Single Center Election Poll making her the "Leader" for their second single: Koi ni Naritai Aquarium.<br />
* In the December 2019 issue of Dengeki G's, the editors tallied how many times You had said "Yousoro!" throughout the anime - 12 times in the first season and 6 times for the second. Their count for the number of times she saluted someone was 26 in season one and 13 in season two.<br />
* You shares the same birthday as [[Himeno Ayanokoji]].<br />

<br />
'''Chika Takami''' is the protagonist of ''[[Love Live! Sunshine!]]'' and the leader of [[Aqours]]. She is a second-year student at [[Uranohoshi Girls' High School]] during the anime. Following the events of ''[[Love Live! Sunshine!! The School Idol Movie: Over The Rainbow]]'', she transfers to [[Numazu High School]]. In addition to Aqours, she is also the leader of the subunit [[CYaRon!]] Her image color is mikan orange.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Chika is the youngest daughter of the Takami family, who owns and operates a ryokan in Uchiura. She lives with her parents, her two older sisters (Shima and Mito) and their pet dog (Shiitake). She is childhood friends with [[Kanan Matsuura]] and [[You Watanabe]]. In the anime, [[Riko Sakurauchi]] and her family moves into the house neighboring Chika's ryokan. Her mother and her sisters both attended Uranohoshi.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
As the leader of Aqours, Chika is characterized by her charisma and sociability, traits that lead her to push others toward realizing their potential. Chika's unwavering optimism and resilience are central to her character. Despite setbacks, such as receiving no votes in a Tokyo competition, she remains steadfast in her belief that perseverance can transform the ordinary into something extraordinary.<br />
<br />
At the beginning of the series, Chika perceives herself as ordinary. This is especially true when she compares herself to her more accomplished childhood friends, You and Kanan. Her perspective shifts upon witnessing a performance by μ's in Akihabara, inspiring her to believe that with determination, even someone like her can achieve greatness. This revelation motivates her to form Aqours.<br />
<br />
While Chika remains resilient and charismatic throughout the anime, she is tested by the challenges she faces. On a few occasions, she shows a far less cheerful side of herself. While she is endlessly optimistic, she is no less aware of the many people who rely on her and are counting on Aqours. <br />
<br />
Chika is not traditionally "smart" in the academic sense, often struggling with schoolwork and coming off as clumsy or impulsive. She often acts very goofy or clueless. <br />
<br />
== Clubs and Hobbies ==<br />
Chika is talented in horizontal bar, table tennis, and calligraphy. She also loves softball and going to karaoke booths.<ref>Dengeki G's Magazine July 2015</ref><br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Chika has short orange hair that falls just above her shoulders, usually styled with a small green hair clip on the left side. Her eyes are a warm, golden-brown color. She’s most often seen in her school uniform. Chika has a slim, petite build that reflects her active and energetic nature. Her expressions are full of life, frequently showing a big smile.<br />

== Etymology ==<br />
The name '''Chika''' means "thousand" (千) ('''chi''') and "song, poetry" (歌) ('''ka''').<br />
<br />
Chika's surname '''Takami''' means "tall, high" (高) ('''taka''') and "sea, ocean" (海) ('''mi''').<ref>Sourced as-is from love-live.fandom.com</ref><br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
<br />
* Chika's favorite food, mikan, is a kind of orange commonly grown in Shizuoka prefecture. Numazu specifically is known for a variety called jutaro mikan, and Chika has appeared in promotional material (and packaging) for this type of mikan.<ref>https://savorjp.info/food/foods/%E3%81%BF%E3%81%8B%E3%82%93/6076/</ref><br />
* Chika was inspired to become a school idol after seeing [[μ's]] perform, especially admiring [[Honoka Kousaka]].<br />
* When she was younger, Chika kept her hair longer. At some point, she decided it would be easier to maintain if she kept it short.<ref>Dengeki G's Magazine September 2016</ref><br />

'''Kanan Matsuura''' is a main character in [[Love Live! Sunshine!!]]. She was a third-year student at Uranohoshi Girls' High School and a member of [[Aqours]] until her graduation in the anime's finale.<br />
<br />
She is a member of AZALEA, and was the original leader of Aqours when the group was first formed by she and her childhood friends, Mari Ohara and Dia Kurosawa. Her image color is emerald green.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Kanan is a third-year student living on the offshore island of Awashima with her grandfather, who runs a diving shop there. In the anime, she had a hard time attending classes as she must take care of the shop while her father recovers from a fractured bone. She is able to attend classes from Season 1 Episode 9 onwards. Kanan is childhood friends with Chika Takami, You Watanabe, Dia Kurosawa and Mari Ohara.<br />
<br />
In Season 1 Episodes 6, 8 and 9, it is revealed Kanan had actually formed a school idol group with Mari and Dia two years ago, having convinced the former to join. However, Mari had suffered an injury right before their performance, so she and Dia decided to step down and not perform. After Mari travels to study abroad, she becomes more distant to her peers. It is until Mari learns the truth when Kanan reconciles with her old friend, and decides to become a school idol once again.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Breezily mature, Kanan rarely sweats the details and usually maintains a calm, cool and even stoic demeanor. Though she may seem a bit bland at first, she loves sports and nature, claiming that she is happy every day just by being able to see the dazzling sun, the blue skies and the sea. She isn't as talkative as her fellow third years, speaking the least of them in the anime, but is nevertheless friendly and laid-back.<br />
<br />
Kanan is a very kind, warm-hearted and altruistic individual. She deeply cares for her friends, being very supportive and often putting their needs above her own, going to great lengths to ensure they get what she thinks is best for them. However, due to this, Kanan can fail to realize the others' feelings the same way she does, and she will go to the same lengths to hide the truth if it will hurt the person. This particularly caused her friend, Mari, to accept the chance of studying abroad when in reality she didn't want to, as Mari was content with being with her friends.<br />
<br />
After Mari goes to study abroad, this causes Kanan to live with the weight of her lie, acting much more distant and aloof to Mari when she returns a year and a half later to Uranohoshi. When Mari learns the truth in Season 1 Episode 9, confronting Kanan and expressing how much she cares for her, Kanan finally reconciles with her old friend, stops being distant, and becomes friendly once again.<br />
<br />
Due to the fact the second years are considered "the heart" of Aqours, Kanan has some difficulty relating to the first years, which is shared with Mari; this is due to her preference for the outdoors and for sports. Season 2 Episode 2 explores this, and after a rainy evening forces the girls to stay indoors, the first and third years are able to relate to the others, with Kanan seemingly relating to Hanamaru Kunikida the most.<br />
<br />
While athletic, mature and composed, Kanan has a sweet and soft personality. She is also afraid of strange, creaking sounds as seen in Season 2 Episode 2, and afraid of heights as seen in Season 2 Episode 8. She also likes hugs ever since her childhood, and will often hug her friends if given the opportunity, usually declaring her catchphrase "Hagu shiyo" (ハグしよ "Let's hug") before so.<br />
<br />
Although Kanan is intelligent and level-headed, she doesn't get very good grades. This is due to her poor attendance at school due to the fact she must help her family with work; with that said, it's also seen she doesn't like reading and easily gets tired of it.<br />

'''Mari Ohara''' is a main character in ''[[Love Live! Sunshine!!]]''. She was a re-enrolled third-year student at [[Uranohoshi Girls' High School]] until she graduated in the anime's [[Our Own Radiance|series finale]]. She is a member of [[Guilty Kiss]], a sub-unit under [[Aqours]] and was a member of the original group. Her image color is violet.<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
Mari is a third-year student whose parents (her mother and Italian-American father) manage a hotel chain, Ohara Hotels and Resorts, including [[Hotel Ohara]] on Awashima Island (based on the actual [https://www.google.com/maps/place/Awashima+Hotel/@35.0358862,138.8865076,17.75z Awashima Hotel], currently the Wyndham Grand Awashima) where Mari lives in a suite, which proves her upbringing from a very wealthy family.<ref name="LLSS translated intro">[http://www.lovelive-anime.jp/uranohoshi/worldwide/member.php Official Character Introductions]</ref> She's childhood friends with [[Kanan Matsuura]] and [[Dia Kurosawa]], knowing them since elementary school.<br />
<br />
Due to her part Italian-American upbringing, Mari speaks with an accent and often inserts English words into her speech every few lines (in the English dub, the English words are replaced with Italian words).<ref>[[Koi ni Naritai AQUARIUM|Koi ni Naritai AQUARIUM Radio Dramas]]</ref> She also tends to speak in the third-person.<br />
<br />
She is first seen in [[I Want to Shine!!|the first episode]] flying in the family's helicopter, before formally appearing in [[First Step|Episode 3]], where she becomes the director of Uranohoshi Girls' High School (despite still being a student) after her family contributed a large amount of money to the school. [[Let's Make a PV|Season 1 Episodes 6]], [[Isn't it Frustrating|8]] and [[Young DREAMER|9]] reveal that she, Kanan and Dia formed a school idol group two years ago while on their first year, Kanan having convinced Mari to join. However, Mari had suffered an injury right before an important performance, so Kanan and Dia decided to step down and not perform. Later on, Mari leaves Uchiura to study abroad after the three disband their school idol group. Once Mari learns the truth in Episode 9, she confronts Kanan over it, but both reconcile with the other and decide to become school idols once again, joining Aqours alongside Dia.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Mari has a cheerful, eccentric and mischievous personality, makes many jokes, and often prefers to work by herself. She always keeps her chin up when faced with hardship so as not to burden others, and is ready to try her hand at anything. However, as a half-foreigner, she does not feel that she is very suited to being a Japanese-style idol. <br />
<br />
Despite Mari's cheerful personality, there are times when she can be serious as shown in Season 1 Episode 9.<br />
<br />
Mari speaks with an accent, and she has a high, cheerful voice. Mari often inserts English words (Italian in the English dub) into her sentences, but when she is sad or serious, the pitch of her voice becomes lower, she loses her accent, and she uses English words less.<br />
<br />
==Clubs and Hobbies==<br />
Mari's hobbies include sports and horseback riding, and her talent is in her flexibility and singing. Her favorite genre of music is industrial metal, as stated in her official introduction and shown in Season 2 Episode 2. <br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Mari has a slim figure with light blond hair that she has tied into a braided headband with a loop on the left side and bright green eyes.{{clr}}<br />

==Chronology==<br />
<br />
==Other Data==<br />
<br />
== Etymology ==<br />
<br />
* The name '''Mari''' means "ball" (鞠) ('''ma''') and "white jasmine" (莉) ('''ri''').<br />
* Mari's surname '''Ohara''' means "small" (小) ('''o''') and "field, plain" (原) ('''hara''').<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*Mari fulfills the smile attribute of the Aqours third years.<br />
*In real life, Mari's home is based on the actual [https://goo.gl/maps/FCxgs3kisEk Awashima Hotel], currently the Wyndham Grand Awashima.<br />
*Unlike the rest of Aqours, Mari wears a turquoise vest in her summer uniform and wears white socks as opposed to black socks.<br />
*Mari has similar features to µ's members [[Eli Ayase]] and [[Nozomi Tojo]].<br />
**Both Mari and Eli are blondes, the tallest of the group, foreigners, and third years.<br />
**Both Mari and Nozomi are Geminis, the bustiest of the group, fluent in English, and love to grope their fellow members.<br />
*Mari is the tallest of all of the Aqours characters at 163 cm (or 5'4"), which is ironic since her seiyuu is the shortest of Aqours seiyuus.<br />
*Mari is the oldest school idol of Aqours.<br />
*Mari is the second school idol to slap her childhood friend. The first being [[Umi Sonoda]].<br />
*Mari is the second character since Dia to run away from arranged marriages set up by her parents (in Mari's case, her mother).<br />
*In the [[Kimi no Kokoro wa Kagayaiteru kai?]] PV, Mari's personality was shown to be more quiet and reserved, compared to her anime personality, where she is more loud and energetic.<br />
*It was stated in Mari's SIF side stories that she has liked marching bands ever since she was a little girl.<br />

'''Mari Ohara''' is a main character in ''[[Love Live! Sunshine!!]]''. She was a re-enrolled third-year student at [[Uranohoshi Girls' High School]] until she graduated in the anime's [[Our Own Radiance|series finale]]. She is a member of [[Guilty Kiss]], a sub-unit under [[Aqours]] and was a member of the original group. Her image color is violet.<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
Mari is a third-year student whose parents (her mother and Italian-American father) manage a hotel chain, Ohara Hotels and Resorts, including [[Hotel Ohara]] on Awashima Island (based on the actual [https://www.google.com/maps/place/Awashima+Hotel/@35.0358862,138.8865076,17.75z Awashima Hotel], currently the Wyndham Grand Awashima) where Mari lives in a suite, which proves her upbringing from a very wealthy family.<ref name="LLSS translated intro">[http://www.lovelive-anime.jp/uranohoshi/worldwide/member.php Official Character Introductions]</ref> She's childhood friends with [[Kanan Matsuura]] and [[Dia Kurosawa]], knowing them since elementary school.<br />
<br />
Due to her part Italian-American upbringing, Mari speaks with an accent and often inserts English words into her speech every few lines (in the English dub, the English words are replaced with Italian words).<ref>[[Koi ni Naritai AQUARIUM|Koi ni Naritai AQUARIUM Radio Dramas]]</ref> She also tends to speak in the third-person.<br />
<br />
She is first seen in [[I Want to Shine!!|the first episode]] flying in the family's helicopter, before formally appearing in [[First Step|Episode 3]], where she becomes the director of Uranohoshi Girls' High School (despite still being a student) after her family contributed a large amount of money to the school. [[Let's Make a PV|Season 1 Episodes 6]], [[Isn't it Frustrating|8]] and [[Young DREAMER|9]] reveal that she, Kanan and Dia formed a school idol group two years ago while on their first year, Kanan having convinced Mari to join. However, Mari had suffered an injury right before an important performance, so Kanan and Dia decided to step down and not perform. Later on, Mari leaves Uchiura to study abroad after the three disband their school idol group. Once Mari learns the truth in Episode 9, she confronts Kanan over it, but both reconcile with the other and decide to become school idols once again, joining Aqours alongside Dia.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Mari has a cheerful, eccentric and mischievous personality, makes many jokes, and often prefers to work by herself. She always keeps her chin up when faced with hardship so as not to burden others, and is ready to try her hand at anything. However, as a half-foreigner, she does not feel that she is very suited to being a Japanese-style idol. <br />
<br />
Despite Mari's cheerful personality, there are times when she can be serious as shown in Season 1 Episode 9.<br />
<br />
Mari speaks with an accent, and she has a high, cheerful voice. Mari often inserts English words (Italian in the English dub) into her sentences, but when she is sad or serious, the pitch of her voice becomes lower, she loses her accent, and she uses English words less.<br />
<br />
==Clubs and Hobbies==<br />
Mari's hobbies include sports and horseback riding, and her talent is in her flexibility and singing. Her favorite genre of music is industrial metal, as stated in her official introduction and shown in Season 2 Episode 2. <br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Mari has a slim figure with light blond hair that she has tied into a braided headband with a loop on the left side and bright green eyes.{{clr}}<br />

Eeeh!? Me becoming an idol? You mean like being in formation with everyone wearing frilly uniforms, dancing dances that look like they were from games back in kindergarten, becoming someone like those funny girls!?!? ... Ah, sorry. I didn't mean to say anything bad. Japanese idols are re~ally cute, I know, I know but, but it's a bit too strict for me, SO HARD--- Yeah, I'm not really suited for it. Ahahahaha --♪ You see, my favorite genre of music is industrial metal. That's why I'm sorry. If you're all gonna do it, I'll cheer everyone on from faraway♡ I have horseback riding lessons later so I gotta head home, okay? Ciao~♪♪<br />

<br />
Aa--- Great wind today too!<br /><br />
On sunny days with great wind like this, living on even this tiny island--- might not be too bad, I think.<br /><br />
Since my family runs a hotel chain, I can stay anywhere I want all across the world--- What did I do to deserve staying on this tiny tiny island in the middle of Izu peninsula in Shizuoka, sometimes I question that.<br /><br />
But, oh well.<br /><br />
At any rate, once I graduate from high school, I'll leave Japan and go to college overseas. Until then, I think experiencing life in such a Japanese countryside isn't bad too.<br /><br />
It's a bit boring but--- The air is great, the scenery is beautiful, and there aren't that many people, and the seafood is the best♪<br /><br />
What I want is an intense and vibrant daily life similar to the hard rock I love--- I'll be entirely OK even after leaving here. Right?<br /><br />
But for now, I'll take it easy.<br /><br />
And enjoy the natural life.<br /><br />
That's why---<br /><br />
School idol, you said?<br /><br />
To become something like that--- even though I made it clear from the start I would have no part of it.<br /><br />
She absoluuutely won't give up, that--- junior of mine, [[Chika Takami|Takami Chika-chan]], was it?<br /><br />
Ahahahaha---♡ I can't take it anymore!<br /><br />
No matter how many times I refused her, she just insisted that she wanted me to join their "Aqours" group.<br /><br />
With zero signs of ever giving up.<br /><br />
But unexpectedly, I don't hate such a straightforward approach.<br /><br />
If she's going to approach me that seriously--- I'll treat her just the same.<br /><br />
But if it's like that, it's now--- Sumo wrestling, Su-Mo-U!<br /><br />
A traditional method of deciding matches in Japan, right?<br /><br />
Challenging me--- If I lose then I'll take part in your group. Ciao~♡ Something like that--- If I try messing around like that, would she get mad?<br /><br />
But, under the clear skies and refreshing wind, splashing about in the surging waves--- An idol, really?<br /><br />
I think it's almost like a reckless battle, but---<br /><br />
I don't hate that.<br /><br />
The stronger the enemy, the more fired up it gets, right?<br />

Hi! It's Mari♪ Today--- I'm just enjoying the sunshine for a bit at my own poolside♡<br /><br />
This year's summer, has everyone been to the sea or pool already? Lately, all the girls have been doing whitening measures perfectly, it seems that the trend is to avoid tanning but--- It's Mari's rule that the summer sun has to be enjoyed to the fullest! Even if there's a faint tan line from the swimsuit--- Don't you think that's another hallmark of summer?<br /><br />
Fufu♡ These wonderful hips that will draw your eyes unwittingly are still in the process of production, so look forward to it! Ah, also, we wanted to make an idol song that brings about the sparkling image of this summer sun--- Today, I'm in the midst of creating musical ideas for Aqours by the poolside. Right now, I'm having some great feelings about that, so do look forward to that too! Ciao~♪<br />

''Caption: Mari will make everyone happy with her smile♪ Do you know? Smiles hold the power of magic!''<br />
<br />
Hi~♪ Everyone, I'm so happy to meet you♡<br /><br />
I'm Mari from Aqours!<br /><br />
From here on out, using our greatest smiles and lovely singing voices, we'll make everyone happy♡<br /><br />
In just a little bit more, our song will reach out to everyone so--- wait for us until then, okay?<br /><br />
Though we're usually typical high school girls in our uniforms, with these cute costumes and our dance, we're school idols that will send a smile to everyone's faces.<br /><br />
Thus, that was how I started my activities with everyone else--- There was only one thing I had in mind. And that is the fact that smiles really have the power to make people happy.<br /><br />
If you think that's a lie, hey, why don't you try forcing a smile right now?<br /><br />
If you do that, then that mouth of yours---<br /><br />
Mari will give you a smooch♡♡<br /><br />
See, you immediately became happy, right? It's a miracle♪<br />

'''MESSAGE from Mari'''<br /><br />
''Caption: We did it! With this, Uranohoshi Girls' High School belongs to us♡ Everyone, come and play~♪''<br />
<br />
Just kidding--- Fufufu♡<br /><br />
Today's the video-shoot for our promotional video-- We sneaked into the principal's office♪<br /><br />
With this, we've captured the nerve center of Uranohoshi!<br /><br />
Aqours has finished conquering the school.<br /><br />
If the school has such cute rulers, everyone would want to enter this school, no mistake about that--- Fufufu☆<br /><br />
Just joking around, while sitting on the sofa.<br /><br />
Hmm as expected, this sofa is great. The school's seats are all hard and screechy, I have always really disliked them.<br /><br />
Alright, from here onwards, I'll skip classes, and come here whenever I want to take afternoon naps!<br /><br />
If I declare that loudly--- Dia played the straight man and hit me for it. No way, what did I say? This is supposed to be the principal's office? "Isn't it obvious that the principal would be here during class time," she said.<br /><br />
That - is - why!<br /><br />
For the time being, that's not the scenario today~!!<br /><br />
After all, the Mari today is the ruler of this school!<br /><br />
Okay for now, I'll act as the principal, Kanan is the vice-principal, and then--- Dia is the curriculum coordinator♡<br /><br />
Ah, if that's not okay, that's fine~, hmm let's see, then I'll promote Dia to vice-principal, Kanan can be the principal--- I'll be the board chairman♪ Fufu, the globe-trotting jet-setter, enigmatic super board chairman!! Someone who casually appears every now and then, and kidnaps cute girls to turn them into idols♡<br /><br />
So cool~♪ Seems like something out of a drama!<br /><br />
Alright, then it's about time everyone decided on their pose, and we can shoot the introduction scene. Is everyone ready? One, two, three♪<br /><br />
"Hi, everyone, it's Aqours from Uranohoshi Girls' High School! If you come to Uranohoshi, seniors as cute as this will be waiting for you♡ Please definitely come play sometime!!<br />

''Caption: Notice our voices, from this town where one can see the sea---''<br />
<br />
'''What is the charm of being a school idol?'''<br/><br />
I'm grateful for everyone's energy in trying to liven the school up, even though it's already been decided to be abolished soon--- Although it's coming from me who's also a part of Aqours. Now every day is just a simplistic happiness, almost enough to forget that slightly serious objective♪ Whether it's for lives or events, I like going on expeditions by train to all sorts of places with the other members♡<br />
<br />
'''What are the good points about Uranohoshi Girls' High School?'''<br/><br />
Perhaps the part where everyone gets along well? Also the hillside road that stretches on and on to the school, surrounded by orange trees♡ And--- the kind teachers who would help deliver food even if I forget my lunch box, being in the sunlight during afternoon classes is the greatest, the classroom I always take afternoon naps in is wonderful too--- That's right, everything! Ura Girls' is full of great things♪ Everyone, come play with us!<br />

''Caption: Aah~, I let out a good sweat today too♪ As expected, morning baths are the best, huh?''<br />
<br />
Mari's mornings always start with horse-riding and jogging♡<br /><br />
Uchiura in this season has a refreshing morning breeze--- Every day is a perfect weather for riding.<br />
<br />
Horse-riding is unexpectedly taxing on the muscles, you know?<br /><br />
On the back of a swaying horse, holding on and maintaining the posture so as to not be thrown off is mainly dependent on leg strength and torso muscles. I have confidence in my abs and thighs♡<br /><br />
Yes, that's why---.<br /><br />
If you ever--- If somewhere in Japan you are ever in trouble being chased by ruffians.<br /><br />
Like a prince on a white horse, I'll appear wearing a cowboy hat, and definitely rescue you by bringing you away on my horse♪<br /><br />
Hehe---♡<br /><br />
My honed reflexes are also well suited for Aqours's dances, it would be great if I could show off my strong points but---.<br /><br />
How about it, maybe that's something for you to look forward to more from here onwards?<br /><br />
--- Ufufu♪<br />
<br />
Since it can't be helped, for starters right now---.<br /><br />
I'll show you one of my good points in this bathroom♪<br /><br />
Everyone loves it, right?<br /><br />
Things like these♡<br /><br />
Mari will always be waiting for your support with this open heart that hides nothing.<br /><br />
Even if we're separated, our hearts will always be together♡<br /><br />
Then, I'll see you later~, Ciao~♡♡♡<br />

It's amazing~!<br /><br />
We've discovered another leak yet again♡<br /><br />
I've heard that Ura Girls' is a school with a long history, but I was surprised to see it leak like this whenever it rains!<br /><br />
Really, it's a school full of surprises~♪<br /><br />
And not just that, but the repairs can't really keep up, so during rainy days, everyone just places buckets everywhere like this to catch the leaks!<br /><br />
Amazing!<br /><br />
It's way too interesting!!<br /><br />
Ah--- But if it leaks, maybe ghosts might appear too?<br /><br />
Wow, So cool!!<br /><br />
A building where ghosts appear, that would be extremely popular overseas~♡<br /><br />
Appearing quietly within an underground basement filled with moisture and dripping water droplets, an intangible white ghost!<br /><br />
Kyaa!♪<br /><br />
I want to meet it too. The ghost living within Ura Girls'♪<br /><br />
Of course, it's bound to be a cute and lovely female high school girl☆<br /><br />
If I take a video and upload it, it'll likely become an amazingly hot topic~♪<br /><br />
Oh yes, if it's come to this, why don't we search all over the school building thoroughly, and map out all the school's leaks?<br /><br />
If we don't place buckets and bowls properly, it would be bad if an underclassman slips on the wet floors and gets hurt--- right♡♡<br />

Come on~, jeez, don't make that face♪<br/><br />
Even if you want to be a serious demon, how about some juice?<br/><br />
Take it easy♡<br/><br />
I went through the trouble of buying it for you after all!<br />
<br />
Jeez, [[Yoshiko Tsushima|Yohane-chan]] is a serious person after all~.<br/><br />
Missing a bus just once, it's not such a big deal, right?<br/><br />
If we just wait here like this, the bus is sure to come back eventually after all♡<br/><br />
Waiting like this until that happens--- it's not bad, right?<br/><br />
Let's take a break for a bit, take a break♪<br/><br />
Aah♡<br/><br />
Maybe it's a reward for us two, for going out shopping on behalf of the other members?<br/><br />
That's right~, that's definitely it!<br/><br />
On such a hot day, carrying such heavy things, it's definitely a reward for the two of us working so hard♡<br/><br />
From who? Of course, that would be from God♪<br/><br />
--- Ah.<br/><br />
......<br/><br />
Speaking of which, Yohane-chan would be the little demon who's the furthest existence from God.<br/><br />
Sorry, sorry, so sorry~!!<br/><br />
Then, it's definitely a present from Lucifer in hell??<br/><br />
Let's just go with that♪<br />
<br />
--- Hey, Yohane-chan.<br/><br />
Though I also think being serious is one of the Japanese people's virtues and wonderful traits--- Just putting it out there, we're a demon, an angel and a foreigner, right?<br/><br />
For something small like this, it's suitable for the situation♡<br/><br />
Let's just enjoy the present~♪<br/><br />
Let's Enjoy, positive thinking~♡♡♡<br />

''Caption: I'm always connected to my partner, heart to heart♡''<br />
<br />
I've loved horse-riding since childhood♡<br/><br />
Ah, even though I said horse-riding--- What I do isn't the troublesome-looking, formal British style--- but rather the cowboy-style, with simply riding along quickly as its basis♪<br/><br />
Though horses can't speak--- It's really clever, and I've really loved it ever since it was small♡♡<br/><br />
With just the slightest movements of my body--- it's able to sense my feelings.<br/><br />
And just by meeting our eyes--- we can understand each other's feelings.<br/><br />
It's always been my greatest friend.<br/><br />
I can't lie to it either♡<br/><br />
Once I climb onto its back and ride along the country roads, I'll soon forget any unpleasant things no matter how bad they were!<br/><br />
But in Japan, it's truly a pity that there aren't many places where you can ride a horse.<br/><br />
I'm certain Starbright here would definitely have wanted to move about a wide open field too---.<br/><br />
Right now, all I can do is ride it on the road around the island twice a day, in the morning and evening.<br/><br />
Sorry, Starbright.<br/><br />
But--- you understand, right?<br/><br />
--- Hehe♡<br />
<br />
I'm not very good at explaining things in words.<br/><br />
My true feelings---.<br/><br />
It seems that I'm the type who always conveys them directly through physical contact like this, from the bottom of my heart.<br/><br />
And whenever I'm troubled--- I hug and cuddle it like this.<br/><br />
Once we huddle together like this--- Just that is definitely enough to make anything alright♡<br/><br />
This simple person that I am--- Someday I want to do this with you too.<br/><br />
With a hug--- Won't you hold me?<br/><br />
Okay? It's definitely a promise♡♡♡<br />

'''MESSAGE from Mari'''<br /><br />
''Caption: In a peaceful and clear winter sky― A Valentine’s kiss from Mari♪ ''<br />
<br />
Hey, everybody― how are you doing?<br/><br />
(Giggle)― Me, I’m feeling a little bored♡<br/><br />
In Izu the atmosphere stays calm even in winter― there are a lot of fair-weather days.<br/><br />
Even here in Uchiura― the sky is still pure blue.<br/><br />
A sky without a single cloud as far as the eye can see.<br/><br />
It is cold, but― the clear atmosphere without a thorn is gentle.<br/><br />
On days like this with nothing to do, I feel like strolling down by the seaside, and singing a song♪<br/><br />
<br />
Although, I have to go to school everyday, for a poor little school student like me….<br/><br />
<br />
I’ve been captured yet again by sunny classes.<br/><br />
Boring lessons that continue every day.<br/><br />
Classes that I have to sit in 6 times for 50 minutes each.<br/><br />
Oh, poor me―.<br/><br />
My cute butt is shrieking about it.<br/><br />
Oh― as I gaze out the window in boredom― won’t my prince come and save me?<br/><br />
(Chuckle)♡<br/><br />
<br />
Yes, good idea♪<br/><br />
Truly― hey, won’t somebody come help me before I die of boredom?<br/><br />
Like Rapunzel leaning over her windowsill from the tall castle she’s trapped in―or Juliet standing on her balcony, cursing the names that forbid her marriage.<br/><br />
<br />
If it were me― I’d prefer to be Juliet♡<br/><br />
(Giggle)♡<br/><br />
Oh, my dear Romeo― quickly, quickly come to me♪<br/><br />
My passionate blown kiss is waiting for you, my hero―.<br/><br />

<br />
I’ve lived in a foreign country for a long time, and I love port towns. It’s an exciting place where various cultures mix and many tastes clash to create new sensations♡ I’ve also been excited a great deal here in Uchiura♪ That’s why this time, it’s my turn to give you that excitement♡♡<br />

'''MESSAGE from Mari'''<br /><br />
''Caption: Aqours's journey is--- A tour filled with smiles and kindness♡''<br />
<br />
When I heard that the new and upcoming Aqours song would have a railway motif, I was pretty surprised~! <br />
<br />
I mean, there aren’t any railways in Uchiura, right?<br />
<br />
Everyone goes to school by walking or by bike.<br/><br />
Other than that, people like Yohane who live just a bit far away commute only by bus.<br/><br />
In the first place, the closest railway station is more than a 30 minute car ride away.<br/><br />
Or so I thought.<br/><br />
I can see it now.<br/><br />
Even if it’s a railway, it’s also a train for travelers -- it’s alright if I put it that way♡<br/><br />
No matter how you put it, Uchiura is filled with beautiful seas and mountains.<br/><br />
With hot springs, delicious fish, aquariums and tourist spots, it's a great place for a holiday♡<br />
<br />
Thus, we came to do a test shot for a PV with everyone. As expected, we have to start with the appeal of the seaside view! And so, here we are.<br />
<br />
When I look at the sea -- somehow...<br/><br />
Memories surface.<br/><br />
I remember the time when I had just came here.<br/><br />
Uchiura was even more out in the sticks than I had imagined--- but the sea was beautiful. <br/><br />
For someone like me who doesn't like flocking around with other people very much--- I often looked at the sea.<br/><br />
Rather than people, I preferred the sea.<br/><br />
Every time I’m on the tip of the cape, when I listen to music while looking at the empty sea, I would feel as if I’m the only person in the world.<br/><br />
In this world, I’m this tiny---<br/><br />
However, it’s a world I’ve monopolized for my own.<br/><br />
I loved this empty world that stretched on endlessly.<br />
<br />
But---.<br/><br />
If it's now.<br/><br />
When I’m with everyone, the world looks completely different. Strange, isn't it?<br/><br />
Being together with someone else -- isn't bad too.<br/><br />
Or perhaps I should say, it’s more fun than I thought♪<br/><br />
So, everyone, please don’t be afraid of change.<br/><br />
Don’t worry!<br/><br />
Don’t be afraid!!<br/><br />
If you'd open the door, Aqours's smiles will always be there.<br/><br />
I’m always by your side. Don’t forget that, OK?<br/><br />
Let's continue Aqours's journey together no matter where it takes us♪<br />

|-|<br />
|'''What kind of music is industrial metal?'''<ref name="DGM Sep 2015" /><br /><br />
''Asked by ハイレモンさん @Twitter''<br />
<br />
Ah--- You heard about that? You heard about it--- Yep, you definitely heard about it. Kusu kusu♪ Hmm, I think you'll definitely understand it right away if you listened to it on the internet but--- It's a bit like the intense feeling of deep bass in heavy rock? It's fun when there's fire and explosions♡ It's exhilarating~! Please try to give it a listen♪<br />
<br />
'''You take horse-riding lessons, but is there a particular horse you have a really great relationship with?'''<ref name="DGM Sep 2015" /><br /><br />
''Asked by 紫鮫さん @Twitter''<br />
<br />
There is~! Of course♪ The horse I get along best with since I was a child is Starbright! A thoroughbred horse with a large build, it has a pattern on its forehead that resembles a cool white star. It's tall so riding it is a bit hard, and its temper is also a bit rough, but it's clever and kind only to me, a real tsundere horse♡ And oh, it's female, by the way. It's my best friend!<br />
<br />
'''What do you wear when you go to sleep!?'''<ref>Dengeki G's Magazine June 2016 issue</ref><br /><br />
''Asked by ポイントBさん @Twitter''<br />
<br />
The answers everyone is looking forward to are of course, "Only underwear♡" or "Negligee", or maybe "Just perfume♡"--- That's right, isn't it?<br/><br />
No no, that's no good~, having such perverted expectations♪<br/><br />
But I'm sure if I don't tell you all, you would have a looot more anticipation, and might not be able to sleep well so--- I'll tell you specially just this once♡<br/><br />
I'm the sort who always sleeps in a camisole♪<br/><br />
T-shirts always feel constrictive around my chest and make it painful so I don't really wear them much, I think?<br />
<br />
'''Do you have any favorite Japanese idioms?'''<ref name="DGM Nov 2016">Dengeki G's Magazine November 2016 issue</ref><br /><br />
''Asked by 堕天涙子さん''<br />
<br />
Tons of them~!! "''Shichijitsugōken''" (A strong, silent personality), "''Kūzenzetsugo''" (The first and probably the last), "''Itchōisseki''" (In a short period of time), "''Kadai sanseki''" (Challenges abound)!! I especially love phrases that rhyme, with words flow together smoothly~♡ It almost feels like they're music, right? Though English poetry also has rhymes, Japan's phrases has tighter connections and feel sharper in a good way♪ They're so cute they make me excited♡♡<br />
<br />
'''How good are you at horse-riding?'''<ref name="DGM Nov 2016" /><br /><br />
''Asked by 彩狐さん''<br />
<br />
I only do horse-riding as a hobby right now--- so of course I'm nowhere near the level of an actual athlete. Plus it's not the British-style show jumping you might expect in Japan, but a Western style♡ But riding along as though I was one with my horse is always extremely fun! You can leave it to me if you want to ride together♪<br />
<br />
'''Are there any times when you are troubled because your home is a hotel?'''<ref name="DGM Nov 2016" /><br /><br />
''Asked by オルテガー派さん''<br />
<br />
Troubling times--- Not really, I think♡ Ah--- If there was any, it would probably be that it's a little hard for me to receive any secret packages? The mail is always delivered to the reception, and the concierge always delivers it to the rooms, so I think the sender would definitely be checked. All the people who want to send me secret fan letters from here on, please take note♪<br />
<br />
'''You like punk and metal, but after becoming a school idol, have there been any new genres of music that you've started to like?'''<ref name="DGM Nov 2016" /><br /><br />
''Asked by ゆいるびさん''<br />
<br />
Japan's idol songs are unique--- I didn't quite understand them at first, but rather than just being cute, lately I've come to understand that there's also a surprisingly funky side to them--- I think sticking to their cute image is also pretty cool too♡ But it would be great if someday Aqours could form a punk unit, and sing a baa~ad song. Everyone headbanging together♪<br />
<br />
'''What's the best present you ever received that made you happiest?'''<ref name="DGM Nov 2016" /><br /><br />
''Asked by るなまじっくさん''<br />
<br />
That question is so hard--- I mean, any present filled with emotion would make Mari the happiest in the world, so--- Ah, but then, that's right. During my birthday before summer vacation, all the other members sang the birthday song for me♡ That's the best present that made me happiest lately. I won't ever forget the sight of the messy cake which Ruby accidentally flipped over♪<br />
<br />
'''It seems you have your own personal chef, but can you cook?'''<ref name="DGM Nov 2016" /><br /><br />
''Asked by べーやんさん''<br />
<br />
My speciality dish is hot sandwiches wrapped in aluminium foil cooked in an outdoors bonfire♡ Before going on any long rides with my horse, I make them using bread and corned beef. Paired with hot coffee brewed in a pot, it's the best! And so the cuisine I cook is solely outdoors♪ Maybe next time I'll try making baked apple in a Dutch oven next time♡<br />
<br />
'''Does Starbright have any other horses as friends?'''<ref>Dengeki G's Magazine January 2017 issue</ref><br/><br />
''Asked by 鈴生昴さん''<br />
<br />
Right now, it's alone in its stable--- so while it's sad, it doesn't have any other horses as friends, but it seems like it's friends with the cats and penguins raised on the island. Hehe--- Isn't it amazing, for it to have penguins as friends--- Living in a hotel is also interesting in that aspect. So Cute♪ I'm certain it'll make friends with the sea lions and dolphins while living here too♡♡<br />

Having had looked for something to devote her all to for a long time, she was inspired and decided to form her own school idol group.<br />
<br />
After third year student and student council president Dia Kurosawa denied Chika permission to form a school idol club, Chika and [[You Watanabe]] took the ferry to meet up with Kanan Matsuura, who told them she would not be re-entering school for a while longer. The three of them look up and notice a pink helicopter flying past, in which Ohara Mari was sitting.<br />

| colspan="3"|In Episode 3, Chika, You, and [[Riko Sakurauchi]] were training on the beach when they saw the Ohara family's helicopter flying by, which eventually landed near them. <br />
<br />
With Mari's arrival to the school, she introduced herself as the new chairwoman of Uranohoshi Girls' High School. Dia, who knew Mari back from their first year in Uranohoshi, pointed out how unbelievable it was for a third year to be the new chairwoman. Mari showed her proof and stated that she came to support Chika, You, and Riko. She then challenged them to fill the gym with audience in order to get her approval for their School Idol Club. The three second year students realized that there weren't enough students in their school to fill the gym, which caused them to advertise their concert in other places as well. <br />
<br />
Before their concert, Aqours worried about people not attending due to the rain. They laughed it off and stood behind the stage's curtain, hand in hand. However, when the curtains raised, they only had a small group of audience. Included in the audience were Mari, [[Ruby Kurosawa]], [[Hanamaru Kunikida]], and a disguised Yoshiko. Despite this, they continued their concert and performed "[[Daisuki dattara Daijoubu!]]" while Kanan and Dia listened from outside the gym.<br />

Mari expressed how important the school was to her, and how she thought school idols could save it, with which Dia disagreed.<br />
<br />
Kanan payed Mari a visit to ask about the school shutting down, to which Mari replied that it was something they would have to fight for, and that she wanted Kanan to fight again. <br />
<br />
Showing the chairwoman their promotional video, Mari told Chika and the rest of Aqours that they did not know what it was that made their town and their school great. After Mari proclaimed she knew better herself, Chika decided not to ask, considering it something they had to figure out for themselves for it to be worth something.<br />
<br />
On her way to the clubroom Chika spotted Dia on stage in the empty auditorium. While she did decline Chika’s offer of joining the school idol club, Dia stated she was happy that they wanted to save the school. As Dia was leaving the room, Ruby stopped Chika from calling out to her, and a flashback showed the third years seemingly right before a school idol performance. Mari showed up and told Dia you can’t run away, only move forward, but Dia denied she had been trying to run away.<br />
<br />
In accordance with Uchiura tradition, all the town members gathered early in the morning of the first day of beach season to make and release floating lanterns. Riko, for whom it was the first time experiencing the tradition, talked about how she did not realize there were so many people living in the town and suggested that maybe that was the special thing about Uchiura and Uranohoshi Girls’ High School. Hearing this, Chika gathered everyone’s attention and introduced Aqours, saying they needed the help of everyone in town to save their school. "[[Yume de Yozora o Terashitai]]" was performed as an insert song by the currently six Aqours members, thus concluding the episode. <br />

<br />
On one of her early morning walks Kanan was followed by the school idol club, who overheard Kanan and Mari talking about Kanan’s returning to school. However, Kanan said she was not going to become a school idol again and that she did not want to talk to Mari any more.<br />
<br />
At school, Kanan and Mari got into a heated argument, which made Chika burst into the room and yell at them to break it up, and to come to the club room of the school idol club after school. There, Kanan continued to claim that the fact she could not sing in Tokyo was the reason she had quit being a school idol. Once she had left the room, the other girls pushed Dia into revealing that Kanan did not sing at the event to prevent Mari from performing with an injury, and that she quit being a school idol because she did not want Mari turning down other opportunities. <br />
<br />
Crying, Mari sprinted out into the rain, and ended up at Uranohoshi Girls’ High School. Kanan joined her there and Mari said they needed to talk. She shared her feelings, and slapped Kanan, saying she shouldn’t take it lightly that Mari cared about her. Kanan answered she should tell her straight if that was the way she felt, and the two of them hugged.<br />
<br />
Aqours convinced Dia to join them, Chika saying they’d all help out if juggling school idol duties and student council president duties got too much, and Ruby handing her a stage costume. All nine girls performed “[[Mijuku DREAMER]]” as an insert song, and Dia turned out to be the one who wrote “Aqours” in the sand, it being the same name the third years’ previous idol group had. <br />

Summer is the season of the Love Live! competition, and Dia had somehow managed to get her hands on the training schedule μ's used when they were active. Since Kanan and Chika had been asked to help run a snack bar on the beach, the members decided to camp at the Takami family inn in order to make time for practice. <br />
<br />
Initially intimidated by a competing snack bar on the beach, Dia quickly took charge and assigned tasks once she received encouragement from Mari. Riko, Chika and Kanan begun advertising in order to draw in customers, seemingly somewhat unwillingly. Meanwhile, You, Yoshiko and Mari started cooking the food.<br />
<br />
With everyone exhausted after attempting to train the way μ's did, they all sat down to eat Mari’s Stewshine and Yoshiko’s ''Tears of a Fallen Angel'' takoyaki that had not sold during the day.<br />
<br />
Aqours's second day of managing the snack bar wasn’t all too successful either, but everyone enjoyed the curry You made using both Mari’s and Yoshiko’s culinary creations. Dia tried to hold a lesson on Love Live! history, but it was cut short due to Chika’s sister Mito thinking they were being too loud.<br />

<br />
As “special practice”, Dia got the eight of them to help clean up the school’s pool, and once they finished they decided to practice their dance in the empty pool. With Riko missing, Aqours needed to adjust their formation, and opted for You to fill in Riko’s spot. <br />
<br />
Having been surprised to discover the first two Aqours members were Chika and You rather than Chika and Riko, Mari confronted You suggesting she was jealous of the relationship between Chika and Riko. Although initially denying the accusation, You eventually opened up and took Mari’s advice to be honest with Chika to heart.<br />
<br />
The night of the Love Live! qualifiers and Riko’s piano competition, everyone wore the matching scrunchies Riko had sent as bracelets. Riko played her piece at the competition, and the remaining eight Aqours members performed “[[Omoi yo Hitotsu ni Nare]]” on stage.<br />

While the video of their performance had gotten a lot of views and comments, the number of applicants for the school’s open house was still zero. <br />
<br />
Chika couldn’t help but compare Aqours to μ's, and wondered if the school idols she looked up to weren’t regular people after all. Calling the other Aqours members, she suggested they’d all go to Tokyo before Riko went back home, and try to figure out what made μ's great. <br />
<br />
In Tokyo, Chika had arranged for Aqours to meet up with Saint Snow, who told Chika and the others they did not know what made μ's and A-RISE different. To them, what mattered was winning and following in the footsteps of their predecessors. Together, both groups watched the announcement of the Love Live! finals being held at the Akiba Dome on the screen outside the UTX High School building.<br />
<br />
At Riko’s suggestion, Aqours visited Otonokizaka High School. They learned that μ's had not left anything from their school idol days at Otonokizaka, saying their hearts would be connected even without those things. Chika and Riko said the visit had brought them closer to the answer of their question.<br />
<br />
On the train back to Numazu, the nine of them took a stop to look at the sea. Chika said that they couldn’t compare themselves to μ's, and all of the members started realizing that they had to run freely, stand on their own feet and not chase after someone else in order to become great. They decided that what they were running towards was turning the zero into a one.<br />

Meanwhile, the number of applicants for Uranohoshi Girls’ High School was still zero. At the end of the day, Mutsu, Itsuki and Yoshimi showed up to tell Chika that they, along with other people in the school, were also interested in saving the school and had thought about becoming school idols. Chika invited them to sing with Aqours at the Love Live!.<br />
<br />
The nine members of Aqours met up with Mutsu, Itsuki and Yoshimi, who brought with them an abundance of other Uranohoshi Girls’ High School students. However, everyone’s excitement was restrained when Riko announced that the rules said only the people who had applied initially would be allowed on stage. In the end, although only Aqours would be on stage, all the other girls decided to cheer them on from the audience.<br />
<br />
Before their performance, the school idol club members reflected on their time together. Ruby and Hanamaru were embraced by Yoshiko, while Mari, Kanan and Dia thanked each other for getting this far, and Chika told You and Riko she wanted to enjoy everything the future had in store together. Proclaiming there weren’t just nine of them, Chika opened the door to the stage.<br />
<br />
Prior to performing their song, Aqours introduced themselves by telling the audience their story and their goal. When they counted to nine, part of the audience yelled “ten”, pronouncing their being the tenth member of the group. <br />
<br />
Halfway through the performance of “[[MIRAI TICKET]]”, Chika called out for everyone to shine together with them. The Aqours supporters of the audience ran down to stand next to the stage, creating a circle of blue light sticks around it. Meanwhile, the number of applicants for the school flipped from zero to one. <br />

| colspan="3"|In episode 1, Mari and Dia were motivating the student body, including the rest of Aqours, to work hard at attracting students to the school this term, too. Chika showed up just when the upcoming Love Live! was mentioned, and they all decided Aqours was going to participate.<br />
<br />
During their regular afternoon practice session on the roof, the girls started discussing holding a concert at the open house. Mari noticed someone calling her phone, but did not pick up. Realizing they would not be able to stay as long at school with the buses’ fall timetable, they set out to find a place to practice in Numazu. Kanan seemed to take note of Mari not acting like her usual self.<br />
<br />
Having argued with her father over the phone about something happening too soon, Mari was confronted by Kanan who wondered what had been bothering her. Mari initially lied and tried to evade the question, but eventually opened up to Kanan.<br />
<br />
The next day at school, Aqours revisited the issue of a new practice space. Without anyone noticing the third years suddenly disappeared. Dia overheard Mari and Kanan talking and realized the truth they were trying to protect her from.<br />
<br />
In a locale made available to the group thanks to You’s father, the third years revealed that the open house has been cancelled, and the decision about the school merger was made final. Chika reacted strongly, saying she would personally seek Mari’s father out and convince him to change his mind, but let it go when the others explained to her how there was nothing to be done. Disheartened, the girls went home.<br />
<br />
When Chika showed up at school early to tell the universe she was not going to give up yet, she was surprised to find the rest of Aqours followed a similar impulse and were there, too. Together, they decided to keep working toward their goal no matter how impossible it may seem. They were going to aim for a miracle.<br />

Although this initially sounded like to much for them to handle, Chika motivated them by saying they should not worry about whether it was possible, but rather simply make it happen.<br />
<br />
With the Love Live! coming up sooner than expected, the second years found the workload of having to create two songs at once difficult to handle. To make it easier on them, everyone decided to split the workload and had the second years create a song for the open house while the third and first years created one to perform at the Love Live!. <br />
<br />
While Chika, Riko and You headed for Chika’s house to work on their song, the rest of the girls initially tried Mari’s home as a work space, but found the extravagance there too distracting. Having moved somewhere more understated, they discovered that the differing tastes of the third contra the first years made it difficult to agree on lyrics and music for the song.<br />
<br />
Ruby sent a text to Chika, Riko and You, who so far had not come up with anything either, asking them to come at once. In order to better work together, the first and third years decided to spend some time together try to get to know each other better.<br />
<br />
Having tried a couple of activities together, it was clear that the two groups did not find the same things fun. Needing to seek shelter from a sudden rainstorm, the girls headed to a temple nearby as per Hanamaru’s suggestion.<br />
<br />
Revisiting the idea of creating a song together, it still seemed hopeless until the ceiling started leaking. Together, they all helped place plates and pots on the floor to catch the water, and found that although the tones and tempo of the different raindrops were out of tune, they all came together to create music. <br />
<br />
When all nine girls regrouped, celebrating the two completed songs, Mari received a phone call. <br />

<br />
Aqours tried to find a way to travel between the two venues in time to perform at both events, without luck. With going by boat and by helicopter both out of the question, it seemed the only possible way to make it in time would be to perform as the first group and catch a bus.<br />
<br />
As the order of the performances would be decided by lottery, the group decided to let Yoshiko do the honors. Much to everyone’s disappointment, they ended up as the 24th group to perform. The group thought the only option left was to choose just one event, but could not decide on one. The next day Chika and Riko suggested they split the group and perform at both events, to which the group reluctantly agreed.<br />
<br />
When Sunday finally came, Chika, Riko, You, Dia and Ruby were overjoyed to be joined by the other four onstage for the performance of [[MY Mai☆TONIGHT]]. Confused when the second years immediately ran off after the song ended, the group found out Chika had arranged for them to use a monorail for mikan transport to travel back to school. With this and help of their school mates, they made it back in time to perform [[Kimi no Kokoro wa Kagayaiteru kai?]] at the open house.<br />

| colspan="3"|In episode 4, Chika woke up in an unusually happy mood. In reply to the other girls’ queries about why she was not nervous to see whether or not they had passed the Love Live! qualifiers, she stated she was sure they would pass, something that proved true moments later. In celebrating their success, Dia noticed how her fellow third years seemed to be getting along well with the younger students, while she still felt a disconnect.<br />
<br />
Chika’s mood fell with the realization that Aqours was out of funds after the recent performances. As they turned both to the gods and Mari’s family in a futile effort to get more money, Dia felt left out when Mari and Kanan both were addressed more informally than she was.<br />
<br />
After they had parted with the others, Dia tried to tell Mari and Kanan how she felt. When they got too close to the truth however, she became defensive and made it sound like she thought it was inappropriate for them to be too close with the first and second year girls. They were not fooled by this, and hoped Dia would come along soon.<br />
<br />
Forced to come up with an idea to replace the one she shot down, Dia led the group into setting up a stand at a flea market. Once again, her expectations of getting close to the others and being addressed informally fell short as she became upset with the rest of the girls not handling the task in the same way she would. <br />
<br />
Afterwards, Chika noticed how there seemed to be something wrong with Dia and spoke of her concerns to Kanan, who said she and Mari would take care of it. As the two confronted Dia, she finally admitted that she would like to be addressed more informally in order to feel closer to the others. The other two teased her about this, but when they met up at Izu Mito Sea Paradise the next day they suggested she use the time they would spend working together to show her less formal side to the others. <br />
<br />
Dia tried her best to make small-talk and play around, becoming increasingly frustrated as the others took this to mean she was angry or upset with something. Finally, Mari and Kanan told the others what was going on, explaining how Dia, despite her cold exterior, gets lonely easily. When a class of kindergartners at the aquarium ran amok, Dia took control of the situation by being authoritative but not as harsh as usual. <br />
<br />
At the end of the day, Aqours gathered. Chika told Dia that it was best if she acted like herself, and how they all appreciate her for who she is. Dia accepted this, and was delighted to finally be addressed with the preferred honorific. <br />

During practice, everyone was happy to discover Aqours on a list of groups most likely to make the national competition. Before they had time to finish celebrating, the less good news that success in the regionals would rely heavily on the number of students in the school hit them.<br />
<br />
Later at night, Dia and Mari discovered that Kanan had been thinking about the move that cost the first Aqours its place in the Love Live! finals. Kanan thought their idea of trying it again was nothing but harmful. After she tried to throw the notebook containing the move into the sea, Mari dove in to retrieve it.<br />
<br />
Chika brought the question of what made Aqours special up at practice, prompting Mari to introduce the move to the rest of the group, much to Kanan’s dismay. Despite Kanan’s warnings that it would be the most difficult for the center, Chika said she would be able to do it.<br />
<br />
As Chika was struggling to learn the move, everyone became increasingly more worried that she was pushing herself too far. After almost a week of endless trying and failing, she agreed to Kanan’s demand that she give up if she could not do it come next morning.<br />
<br />
Determined to make it work, Chika spent the night on the beach practicing. Despite Riko, You and the first years coming to cheer her on, she failed and felt that she had not accomplished anything. Riko and You reminded her that she had forgotten to thank herself for how far they had come already. As Chika was getting ready to try the move one last time the third years showed up, and the episode concluded with Chika perfectly landing the move during the performance of [[MIRACLE WAVE]] at the Love Live! regional preliminaries.<br />

By 1 AM, there still were only 87 applications. Becoming more and more desperate and restless, they sent out the first years to buy something to eat.<br />
<br />
They were still six applicants short by the final hour. Everyone was on edge waiting for the last two applications to drop in during the last minute. Finally, the application page shut down.<br />

The next day, Mari announced the news to the rest of the school. Aqours initially tried to ignore what had happened and commence practice as usual, but stopped when Chika started crying. They decided to call it a day and take some time to think about whether they still wanted to partake in the Love Live!.<br />

[[Sora mo Kokoro mo Hareru kara]] was performed as an insert song while everyone took to their respective houses to consider what to do next.

| colspan="3"| In episode 10, Mari remembered how she tried to wish on a shooting star with Kanan and Dia when they were little, but failed to do so because of the sudden rain.<br />
<br />
On New Year’s Day, Aqours were paid a visit by Saint Snow to help them practice. After Aqours switched their kimono for more appropriate practice wear, they were pushed hard by Sarah and Leah.<br />
<br />
The guests were surprised to find out the students of Uranohoshi had failed to save their school from the merger, but were quick to show their support. Mari received a phone call from her parents offering her the position as director at the new school. Due to already having plans for next year she turned the offer down, making everyone aware of their limited time left together. <br />
<br />
Later that night, Mari, Dia and Kanan met up and shared a heartfelt moment of wishing they did not have to part ways after graduation. They reminisced on Mari sneaking out and threatening to disown her parents as an elementary school student, and while they were happy to realize they had taught each other a lot, their attempts to make a wish were once again hindered by downpour.<br />
<br />
The third years gathered the rest of Aqours for a late night drive to find shooting stars. Arriving at a plateau, the rain still had not stopped. Just as the girls wished to be together forever in spite of this, promising to work on making the sky visible, the episode concluded with the clouds clearing up to reveal a night sky full of shooting stars.<br />

| colspan="3"| In episode 11, Aqours and the rest of the students of Uranohoshi Girls’ High School were preparing for the School Closing Festival set for the next day. Chika, You and Riko set up an arch at the entrance, Mari set up a stand to serve an improved version of her Stewshine dish, and it turned out Yoshimi, Itsuki and Mutsu were the ones to suggest holding the festival.<br />
<br />
Preparations continued, with Hanamaru and Yoshiko working together, Ruby making costumes and Dia putting aside her student council duties to focus on the event. Everything was going smoothly until Shiitake turned up at school, setting everyone back by destroying some of the decorations. To give students more time to finish preparations, Mari arranged for transport home with the help of her family. <br />
<br />
The next day at the festival, everyone’s hard work paid off. Chika walked around school seeing Kanan and You’s underwater showcase, Ruby and Dia’s Love Live! Quiz, Yoshiko, Hanamaru and Riko’s fortune telling stand, as well as her older sisters’ serving grilled mikan. At the end of the day, Yoshimi, Itsuki and Mutsu showed an impressive balloon display.<br />
<br />
After the festival, the students all gathered around a bonfire. Mari spoke about how much the school had meant to her, and ended up voicing her regret about not being able to save it through tears. The student body cheered her up by showing their support for Aqours through a chant, and finally they all sang together.<br />

Arriving in Tokyo, the girls headed to Kanda Shrine, where they prayed for good fortune in the competition and realized many other school idols had done the same. Before leaving, they met Saint Snow, and Sarah asked Chika if they wanted to win the Love Live!.<br />
<br />
Back at the inn, they started a pillow fight to take their thoughts off of the upcoming performance. Chika, You and Riko decided that come tomorrow they would all go their separate ways before meeting up at the venue.<br />
<br />
In the morning, Chika asked the other members of Aqours if they wanted to win the Love Live!. After going on their respective excursions, the third years crossed paths and reminisced on their past, present and future. Finally, all nine girls ran toward the concert as a group, and did one final Aqours chant together before performing [[WATER BLUE NEW WORLD]] at the Love Live!.<br />

| colspan="3"| In episode 13, the day had finally come for the combined graduation and school closing ceremony. Dia was surprised to find out Mari had arranged for the students to paint farewell messages on the school walls, and the student body arrived at the ceremony splattered with paint. Mari handed out diplomas to the graduating students, and Dia held a speech as student council president. To conclude the ceremony, Aqours announced their Love Live! victory, and [[Aozora Jumping Heart]] was used as an insert song.<br />
<br />
Afterwards, Aqours and the other students went around the school to close doors and finish saying their goodbyes, to each other and to the school. You and Riko were in the music room, Yoshiko, Hanamaru and Ruby in their classroom, Kanan and Dia in Mari’s office giving her her diploma, and Chika closed the door to the club room. Finally, Chika was about to break down in tears as she was closing the school gates, but received help from her friends. <br />
<br />
Some time later, Chika went to the school auditorium and found Aqours, including the third years who had come back to sing together one last time. For their last performance, Aqours sang [[WONDERFUL STORIES]]. <br />

<br />
== Etymology ==<br />
<br />
* The name '''Mari''' means "ball" (鞠) ('''ma''') and "white jasmine" (莉) ('''ri''').<br />
* Mari's surname '''Ohara''' means "small" (小) ('''o''') and "field, plain" (原) ('''hara''').<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*Mari fulfills the smile attribute of the Aqours third years.<br />
*In real life, Mari's home is based on the actual [https://goo.gl/maps/FCxgs3kisEk Awashima Hotel], currently the Wyndham Grand Awashima.<br />
*Unlike the rest of Aqours, Mari wears a turquoise vest in her summer uniform and wears white socks as opposed to black socks.<br />
*Mari has similar features to µ's members [[Eli Ayase]] and [[Nozomi Tojo]].<br />
**Both Mari and Eli are blondes, the tallest of the group, foreigners, and third years.<br />
**Both Mari and Nozomi are Geminis, the bustiest of the group, fluent in English, and love to grope their fellow members.<br />
*Mari is the tallest of all of the Aqours characters at 163 cm (or 5'4"), which is ironic since her seiyuu is the shortest of Aqours seiyuus.<br />
*Mari is the oldest school idol of Aqours.<br />
*Mari is the second school idol to slap her childhood friend. The first being [[Umi Sonoda]].<br />
*Mari is the second character since Dia to run away from arranged marriages set up by her parents (in Mari's case, her mother).<br />
*In the [[Kimi no Kokoro wa Kagayaiteru kai?]] PV, Mari's personality was shown to be more quiet and reserved, compared to her anime personality, where she is more loud and energetic.<br />
*It was stated in Mari's SIF side stories that she has liked marching bands ever since she was a little girl.<br />

'''Kanan Matsuura''' is a main character in [[Love Live! Sunshine!!]]. She was a third-year student at Uranohoshi Girls' High School and a member of [[Aqours]] until her graduation in the anime's finale.<br />
<br />
She is a member of AZALEA, and was the original leader of Aqours when the group was first formed by she and her childhood friends, Mari Ohara and Dia Kurosawa. Her image color is emerald green.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Kanan is a third-year student living on the offshore island of Awashima with her grandfather, who runs a diving shop there. In the anime, she had a hard time attending classes as she must take care of the shop while her father recovers from a fractured bone. She is able to attend classes from Season 1 Episode 9 onwards. Kanan is childhood friends with Chika Takami, You Watanabe, Dia Kurosawa and Mari Ohara.<br />
<br />
In Season 1 Episodes 6, 8 and 9, it is revealed Kanan had actually formed a school idol group with Mari and Dia two years ago, having convinced the former to join. However, Mari had suffered an injury right before their performance, so she and Dia decided to step down and not perform. After Mari travels to study abroad, she becomes more distant to her peers. It is until Mari learns the truth when Kanan reconciles with her old friend, and decides to become a school idol once again.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Breezily mature, Kanan rarely sweats the details and usually maintains a calm, cool and even stoic demeanor. Though she may seem a bit bland at first, she loves sports and nature, claiming that she is happy every day just by being able to see the dazzling sun, the blue skies and the sea. She isn't as talkative as her fellow third years, speaking the least of them in the anime, but is nevertheless friendly and laid-back.<br />
<br />
Kanan is a very kind, warm-hearted and altruistic individual. She deeply cares for her friends, being very supportive and often putting their needs above her own, going to great lengths to ensure they get what she thinks is best for them. However, due to this, Kanan can fail to realize the others' feelings the same way she does, and she will go to the same lengths to hide the truth if it will hurt the person. This particularly caused her friend, Mari, to accept the chance of studying abroad when in reality she didn't want to, as Mari was content with being with her friends.<br />
<br />
After Mari goes to study abroad, this causes Kanan to live with the weight of her lie, acting much more distant and aloof to Mari when she returns a year and a half later to Uranohoshi. When Mari learns the truth in Season 1 Episode 9, confronting Kanan and expressing how much she cares for her, Kanan finally reconciles with her old friend, stops being distant, and becomes friendly once again.<br />
<br />
Due to the fact the second years are considered "the heart" of Aqours, Kanan has some difficulty relating to the first years, which is shared with Mari; this is due to her preference for the outdoors and for sports. Season 2 Episode 2 explores this, and after a rainy evening forces the girls to stay indoors, the first and third years are able to relate to the others, with Kanan seemingly relating to Hanamaru Kunikida the most.<br />
<br />
While athletic, mature and composed, Kanan has a sweet and soft personality. She is also afraid of strange, creaking sounds as seen in Season 2 Episode 2, and afraid of heights as seen in Season 2 Episode 8. She also likes hugs ever since her childhood, and will often hug her friends if given the opportunity, usually declaring her catchphrase "Hagu shiyo" (ハグしよ "Let's hug") before so.<br />
<br />
Although Kanan is intelligent and level-headed, she doesn't get very good grades. This is due to her poor attendance at school due to the fact she must help her family with work; with that said, it's also seen she doesn't like reading and easily gets tired of it.<br />

'''Kanan Matsuura''' is a main character in [[Love Live! Sunshine!!]]. She was a third-year student at Uranohoshi Girls' High School and a member of [[Aqours]] until her graduation in the anime's finale.<br />
<br />
She is a member of AZALEA, and was the original leader of Aqours when the group was first formed by she and her childhood friends, Mari Ohara and Dia Kurosawa. Her image color is emerald green.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Kanan is a third-year student living on the offshore island of Awashima with her grandfather, who runs a diving shop there. In the anime, she had a hard time attending classes as she must take care of the shop while her father recovers from a fractured bone. She is able to attend classes from Season 1 Episode 9 onwards. Kanan is childhood friends with Chika Takami, You Watanabe, Dia Kurosawa and Mari Ohara.<br />
<br />
In Season 1 Episodes 6, 8 and 9, it is revealed Kanan had actually formed a school idol group with Mari and Dia two years ago, having convinced the former to join. However, Mari had suffered an injury right before their performance, so she and Dia decided to step down and not perform. After Mari travels to study abroad, she becomes more distant to her peers. It is until Mari learns the truth when Kanan reconciles with her old friend, and decides to become a school idol once again.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Breezily mature, Kanan rarely sweats the details and usually maintains a calm, cool and even stoic demeanor. Though she may seem a bit bland at first, she loves sports and nature, claiming that she is happy every day just by being able to see the dazzling sun, the blue skies and the sea. She isn't as talkative as her fellow third years, speaking the least of them in the anime, but is nevertheless friendly and laid-back.<br />
<br />
Kanan is a very kind, warm-hearted and altruistic individual. She deeply cares for her friends, being very supportive and often putting their needs above her own, going to great lengths to ensure they get what she thinks is best for them. However, due to this, Kanan can fail to realize the others' feelings the same way she does, and she will go to the same lengths to hide the truth if it will hurt the person. This particularly caused her friend, Mari, to accept the chance of studying abroad when in reality she didn't want to, as Mari was content with being with her friends.<br />
<br />
After Mari goes to study abroad, this causes Kanan to live with the weight of her lie, acting much more distant and aloof to Mari when she returns a year and a half later to Uranohoshi. When Mari learns the truth in Season 1 Episode 9, confronting Kanan and expressing how much she cares for her, Kanan finally reconciles with her old friend, stops being distant, and becomes friendly once again.<br />
<br />
Due to the fact the second years are considered "the heart" of Aqours, Kanan has some difficulty relating to the first years, which is shared with Mari; this is due to her preference for the outdoors and for sports. Season 2 Episode 2 explores this, and after a rainy evening forces the girls to stay indoors, the first and third years are able to relate to the others, with Kanan seemingly relating to Hanamaru Kunikida the most.<br />
<br />
While athletic, mature and composed, Kanan has a sweet and soft personality. She is also afraid of strange, creaking sounds as seen in Season 2 Episode 2, and afraid of heights as seen in Season 2 Episode 8. She also likes hugs ever since her childhood, and will often hug her friends if given the opportunity, usually declaring her catchphrase "Hagu shiyo" (ハグしよ "Let's hug") before so.<br />
<br />
Although Kanan is intelligent and level-headed, she doesn't get very good grades. This is due to her poor attendance at school due to the fact she must help her family with work; with that said, it's also seen she doesn't like reading and easily gets tired of it.<br />

'''Mari Ohara''' is a main character in ''[[Love Live! Sunshine!!]]''. She was a re-enrolled third-year student at [[Uranohoshi Girls' High School]] until she graduated in the anime's [[Our Own Radiance|series finale]]. She is a member of [[Guilty Kiss]], a sub-unit under [[Aqours]] and was a member of the original group. Her image color is violet.<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
Mari is a third-year student whose parents (her mother and Italian-American father) manage a hotel chain, Ohara Hotels and Resorts, including [[Hotel Ohara]] on Awashima Island (based on the actual [https://www.google.com/maps/place/Awashima+Hotel/@35.0358862,138.8865076,17.75z Awashima Hotel], currently the Wyndham Grand Awashima) where Mari lives in a suite, which proves her upbringing from a very wealthy family.<ref name="LLSS translated intro">[http://www.lovelive-anime.jp/uranohoshi/worldwide/member.php Official Character Introductions]</ref> She's childhood friends with [[Kanan Matsuura]] and [[Dia Kurosawa]], knowing them since elementary school.<br />
<br />
Due to her part Italian-American upbringing, Mari speaks with an accent and often inserts English words into her speech every few lines (in the English dub, the English words are replaced with Italian words).<ref>[[Koi ni Naritai AQUARIUM|Koi ni Naritai AQUARIUM Radio Dramas]]</ref> She also tends to speak in the third-person.<br />
<br />
She is first seen in [[I Want to Shine!!|the first episode]] flying in the family's helicopter, before formally appearing in [[First Step|Episode 3]], where she becomes the director of Uranohoshi Girls' High School (despite still being a student) after her family contributed a large amount of money to the school. [[Let's Make a PV|Season 1 Episodes 6]], [[Isn't it Frustrating|8]] and [[Young DREAMER|9]] reveal that she, Kanan and Dia formed a school idol group two years ago while on their first year, Kanan having convinced Mari to join. However, Mari had suffered an injury right before an important performance, so Kanan and Dia decided to step down and not perform. Later on, Mari leaves Uchiura to study abroad after the three disband their school idol group. Once Mari learns the truth in Episode 9, she confronts Kanan over it, but both reconcile with the other and decide to become school idols once again, joining Aqours alongside Dia.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Mari has a cheerful, eccentric and mischievous personality, makes many jokes, and often prefers to work by herself. She always keeps her chin up when faced with hardship so as not to burden others, and is ready to try her hand at anything. However, as a half-foreigner, she does not feel that she is very suited to being a Japanese-style idol. <br />
<br />
Despite Mari's cheerful personality, there are times when she can be serious as shown in Season 1 Episode 9.<br />
<br />
Mari speaks with an accent, and she has a high, cheerful voice. Mari often inserts English words (Italian in the English dub) into her sentences, but when she is sad or serious, the pitch of her voice becomes lower, she loses her accent, and she uses English words less.<br />
<br />
==Clubs and Hobbies==<br />
Mari's hobbies include sports and horseback riding, and her talent is in her flexibility and singing. Her favorite genre of music is industrial metal, as stated in her official introduction and shown in Season 2 Episode 2. <br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Mari has a slim figure with light blond hair that she has tied into a braided headband with a loop on the left side and bright green eyes.{{clr}}<br />

Eeeh!? Me becoming an idol? You mean like being in formation with everyone wearing frilly uniforms, dancing dances that look like they were from games back in kindergarten, becoming someone like those funny girls!?!? ... Ah, sorry. I didn't mean to say anything bad. Japanese idols are re~ally cute, I know, I know but, but it's a bit too strict for me, SO HARD--- Yeah, I'm not really suited for it. Ahahahaha --♪ You see, my favorite genre of music is industrial metal. That's why I'm sorry. If you're all gonna do it, I'll cheer everyone on from faraway♡ I have horseback riding lessons later so I gotta head home, okay? Ciao~♪♪<br />

Aa--- Great wind today too!<br /><br />
On sunny days with great wind like this, living on even this tiny island--- might not be too bad, I think.<br /><br />
Since my family runs a hotel chain, I can stay anywhere I want all across the world--- What did I do to deserve staying on this tiny tiny island in the middle of Izu peninsula in Shizuoka, sometimes I question that.<br /><br />
But, oh well.<br /><br />
At any rate, once I graduate from high school, I'll leave Japan and go to college overseas. Until then, I think experiencing life in such a Japanese countryside isn't bad too.<br /><br />
It's a bit boring but--- The air is great, the scenery is beautiful, and there aren't that many people, and the seafood is the best♪<br /><br />
What I want is an intense and vibrant daily life similar to the hard rock I love--- I'll be entirely OK even after leaving here. Right?<br /><br />
But for now, I'll take it easy.<br /><br />
And enjoy the natural life.<br /><br />
That's why---<br /><br />
School idol, you said?<br /><br />
To become something like that--- even though I made it clear from the start I would have no part of it.<br /><br />
She absoluuutely won't give up, that--- junior of mine, [[Chika Takami|Takami Chika-chan]], was it?<br /><br />
Ahahahaha---♡ I can't take it anymore!<br /><br />
No matter how many times I refused her, she just insisted that she wanted me to join their "Aqours" group.<br /><br />
With zero signs of ever giving up.<br /><br />
But unexpectedly, I don't hate such a straightforward approach.<br /><br />
If she's going to approach me that seriously--- I'll treat her just the same.<br /><br />
But if it's like that, it's now--- Sumo wrestling, Su-Mo-U!<br /><br />
A traditional method of deciding matches in Japan, right?<br /><br />
Challenging me--- If I lose then I'll take part in your group. Ciao~♡ Something like that--- If I try messing around like that, would she get mad?<br /><br />
But, under the clear skies and refreshing wind, splashing about in the surging waves--- An idol, really?<br /><br />
I think it's almost like a reckless battle, but---<br /><br />
I don't hate that.<br /><br />
The stronger the enemy, the more fired up it gets, right?<br />

Hi! It's Mari♪ Today--- I'm just enjoying the sunshine for a bit at my own poolside♡<br /><br />
This year's summer, has everyone been to the sea or pool already? Lately, all the girls have been doing whitening measures perfectly, it seems that the trend is to avoid tanning but--- It's Mari's rule that the summer sun has to be enjoyed to the fullest! Even if there's a faint tan line from the swimsuit--- Don't you think that's another hallmark of summer?<br /><br />
Fufu♡ These wonderful hips that will draw your eyes unwittingly are still in the process of production, so look forward to it! Ah, also, we wanted to make an idol song that brings about the sparkling image of this summer sun--- Today, I'm in the midst of creating musical ideas for Aqours by the poolside. Right now, I'm having some great feelings about that, so do look forward to that too! Ciao~♪<br />

<br />
Hi~♪ Everyone, I'm so happy to meet you♡<br /><br />
I'm Mari from Aqours!<br /><br />
From here on out, using our greatest smiles and lovely singing voices, we'll make everyone happy♡<br /><br />
In just a little bit more, our song will reach out to everyone so--- wait for us until then, okay?<br /><br />
Though we're usually typical high school girls in our uniforms, with these cute costumes and our dance, we're school idols that will send a smile to everyone's faces.<br /><br />
Thus, that was how I started my activities with everyone else--- There was only one thing I had in mind. And that is the fact that smiles really have the power to make people happy.<br /><br />
If you think that's a lie, hey, why don't you try forcing a smile right now?<br /><br />
If you do that, then that mouth of yours---<br /><br />
Mari will give you a smooch♡♡<br /><br />
See, you immediately became happy, right? It's a miracle♪<br />

'''MESSAGE from Mari'''<br /><br />
''Caption: We did it! With this, Uranohoshi Girls' High School belongs to us♡ Everyone, come and play~♪''<br />
<br />
Just kidding--- Fufufu♡<br /><br />
Today's the video-shoot for our promotional video-- We sneaked into the principal's office♪<br /><br />
With this, we've captured the nerve center of Uranohoshi!<br /><br />
Aqours has finished conquering the school.<br /><br />
If the school has such cute rulers, everyone would want to enter this school, no mistake about that--- Fufufu☆<br /><br />
Just joking around, while sitting on the sofa.<br /><br />
Hmm as expected, this sofa is great. The school's seats are all hard and screechy, I have always really disliked them.<br /><br />
Alright, from here onwards, I'll skip classes, and come here whenever I want to take afternoon naps!<br /><br />
If I declare that loudly--- Dia played the straight man and hit me for it. No way, what did I say? This is supposed to be the principal's office? "Isn't it obvious that the principal would be here during class time," she said.<br /><br />
That - is - why!<br /><br />
For the time being, that's not the scenario today~!!<br /><br />
After all, the Mari today is the ruler of this school!<br /><br />
Okay for now, I'll act as the principal, Kanan is the vice-principal, and then--- Dia is the curriculum coordinator♡<br /><br />
Ah, if that's not okay, that's fine~, hmm let's see, then I'll promote Dia to vice-principal, Kanan can be the principal--- I'll be the board chairman♪ Fufu, the globe-trotting jet-setter, enigmatic super board chairman!! Someone who casually appears every now and then, and kidnaps cute girls to turn them into idols♡<br /><br />
So cool~♪ Seems like something out of a drama!<br /><br />
Alright, then it's about time everyone decided on their pose, and we can shoot the introduction scene. Is everyone ready? One, two, three♪<br /><br />
"Hi, everyone, it's Aqours from Uranohoshi Girls' High School! If you come to Uranohoshi, seniors as cute as this will be waiting for you♡ Please definitely come play sometime!!<br />

"If you become a school idol, you definitely must aim for the center!" That's what everyone says, but--- Is being the center really that amazing?? If that's the case, then it's time for Mari to make her debut♡ After all, I've come all this way and it's the first time I've seen this in my life, dancing with such amazingly frilly costumes--- If it's come to this, then I definitely have to seize the center position and be number one♡ After all, look at this short skirt! No matter how you look at it, just the process of turning would make some things get revealed~♪ Hey, fufu--- My way of doing things is by never letting go of my intended prey. I have you locked on! I won't let you escape♡<br />

Look look~! That's school idol for you!! This time, the costume is super super cute~♪ The white knee-high socks are so cute, right? With an aquarium theme, 9 beautiful mermaids have made their appearance♡ Jeez, if everyone is this cute, it's impossible to just choose one person, I understand that feeling--- That's why I'll do the choosing instead, and I choose you♡ I'll shoot you straight through the heart♪<br />

<br />
Once it's spring, the coats come off and things get exciting, it's a season where everyone starts new things--- Hey, did you know? Spring is actually the breeding season for many animals. Fufufu♡<br/><br />
Hearing that must make you feel excited and restless right~♪ Hooray, did you get hit by Mari's magic? No matter when, you'll always be in Mari's grasp♡♡<br />

''Caption: Notice our voices, from this town where one can see the sea---''<br />
<br />
'''What is the charm of being a school idol?'''<br/><br />
I'm grateful for everyone's energy in trying to liven the school up, even though it's already been decided to be abolished soon--- Although it's coming from me who's also a part of Aqours. Now every day is just a simplistic happiness, almost enough to forget that slightly serious objective♪ Whether it's for lives or events, I like going on expeditions by train to all sorts of places with the other members♡<br />
<br />
'''What are the good points about Uranohoshi Girls' High School?'''<br/><br />
Perhaps the part where everyone gets along well? Also the hillside road that stretches on and on to the school, surrounded by orange trees♡ And--- the kind teachers who would help deliver food even if I forget my lunch box, being in the sunlight during afternoon classes is the greatest, the classroom I always take afternoon naps in is wonderful too--- That's right, everything! Ura Girls' is full of great things♪ Everyone, come play with us!<br />

''Caption: Aah~, I let out a good sweat today too♪ As expected, morning baths are the best, huh?''<br />
<br />
Mari's mornings always start with horse-riding and jogging♡<br /><br />
Uchiura in this season has a refreshing morning breeze--- Every day is a perfect weather for riding.<br />
<br />
Horse-riding is unexpectedly taxing on the muscles, you know?<br /><br />
On the back of a swaying horse, holding on and maintaining the posture so as to not be thrown off is mainly dependent on leg strength and torso muscles. I have confidence in my abs and thighs♡<br /><br />
Yes, that's why---.<br /><br />
If you ever--- If somewhere in Japan you are ever in trouble being chased by ruffians.<br /><br />
Like a prince on a white horse, I'll appear wearing a cowboy hat, and definitely rescue you by bringing you away on my horse♪<br /><br />
Hehe---♡<br /><br />
My honed reflexes are also well suited for Aqours's dances, it would be great if I could show off my strong points but---.<br /><br />
How about it, maybe that's something for you to look forward to more from here onwards?<br /><br />
--- Ufufu♪<br />
<br />
Since it can't be helped, for starters right now---.<br /><br />
I'll show you one of my good points in this bathroom♪<br /><br />
Everyone loves it, right?<br /><br />
Things like these♡<br /><br />
Mari will always be waiting for your support with this open heart that hides nothing.<br /><br />
Even if we're separated, our hearts will always be together♡<br /><br />
Then, I'll see you later~, Ciao~♡♡♡<br />

''Rainy days like these are for Aqours to do battle with the leaky roofs♪''<br />
<br />
Ahhh, [[Riko Sakurauchi|Riko-chan]], stop!!<br /><br />
I've discovered a leak over there too!<br /><br />
Ehh, we have to get them all, catch them while they're in the air♪<br /><br />
Just kidding♡<br /><br />
Ufufu!<br />
<br />
It's amazing~!<br /><br />
We've discovered another leak yet again♡<br /><br />
I've heard that Ura Girls' is a school with a long history, but I was surprised to see it leak like this whenever it rains!<br /><br />
Really, it's a school full of surprises~♪<br /><br />
And not just that, but the repairs can't really keep up, so during rainy days, everyone just places buckets everywhere like this to catch the leaks!<br /><br />
Amazing!<br /><br />
It's way too interesting!!<br /><br />
Ah--- But if it leaks, maybe ghosts might appear too?<br /><br />
Wow, So cool!!<br /><br />
A building where ghosts appear, that would be extremely popular overseas~♡<br /><br />
Appearing quietly within an underground basement filled with moisture and dripping water droplets, an intangible white ghost!<br /><br />
Kyaa!♪<br /><br />
I want to meet it too. The ghost living within Ura Girls'♪<br /><br />
Of course, it's bound to be a cute and lovely female high school girl☆<br /><br />
If I take a video and upload it, it'll likely become an amazingly hot topic~♪<br /><br />
Oh yes, if it's come to this, why don't we search all over the school building thoroughly, and map out all the school's leaks?<br /><br />
If we don't place buckets and bowls properly, it would be bad if an underclassman slips on the wet floors and gets hurt--- right♡♡<br />

Take it easy♡<br/><br />
I went through the trouble of buying it for you after all!<br />
<br />
Jeez, [[Yoshiko Tsushima|Yohane-chan]] is a serious person after all~.<br/><br />
Missing a bus just once, it's not such a big deal, right?<br/><br />
If we just wait here like this, the bus is sure to come back eventually after all♡<br/><br />
Waiting like this until that happens--- it's not bad, right?<br/><br />
Let's take a break for a bit, take a break♪<br/><br />
Aah♡<br/><br />
Maybe it's a reward for us two, for going out shopping on behalf of the other members?<br/><br />
That's right~, that's definitely it!<br/><br />
On such a hot day, carrying such heavy things, it's definitely a reward for the two of us working so hard♡<br/><br />
From who? Of course, that would be from God♪<br/><br />
--- Ah.<br/><br />
......<br/><br />
Speaking of which, Yohane-chan would be the little demon who's the furthest existence from God.<br/><br />
Sorry, sorry, so sorry~!!<br/><br />
Then, it's definitely a present from Lucifer in hell??<br/><br />
Let's just go with that♪<br />
<br />
--- Hey, Yohane-chan.<br/><br />
Though I also think being serious is one of the Japanese people's virtues and wonderful traits--- Just putting it out there, we're a demon, an angel and a foreigner, right?<br/><br />
For something small like this, it's suitable for the situation♡<br/><br />
Let's just enjoy the present~♪<br/><br />
Let's Enjoy, positive thinking~♡♡♡<br />

''Caption: I'm always connected to my partner, heart to heart♡''<br />
<br />
I've loved horse-riding since childhood♡<br/><br />
Ah, even though I said horse-riding--- What I do isn't the troublesome-looking, formal British style--- but rather the cowboy-style, with simply riding along quickly as its basis♪<br/><br />
Though horses can't speak--- It's really clever, and I've really loved it ever since it was small♡♡<br/><br />
With just the slightest movements of my body--- it's able to sense my feelings.<br/><br />
And just by meeting our eyes--- we can understand each other's feelings.<br/><br />
It's always been my greatest friend.<br/><br />
I can't lie to it either♡<br/><br />
Once I climb onto its back and ride along the country roads, I'll soon forget any unpleasant things no matter how bad they were!<br/><br />
But in Japan, it's truly a pity that there aren't many places where you can ride a horse.<br/><br />
I'm certain Starbright here would definitely have wanted to move about a wide open field too---.<br/><br />
Right now, all I can do is ride it on the road around the island twice a day, in the morning and evening.<br/><br />
Sorry, Starbright.<br/><br />
But--- you understand, right?<br/><br />
--- Hehe♡<br />
<br />
I'm not very good at explaining things in words.<br/><br />
My true feelings---.<br/><br />
It seems that I'm the type who always conveys them directly through physical contact like this, from the bottom of my heart.<br/><br />
And whenever I'm troubled--- I hug and cuddle it like this.<br/><br />
Once we huddle together like this--- Just that is definitely enough to make anything alright♡<br/><br />
This simple person that I am--- Someday I want to do this with you too.<br/><br />
With a hug--- Won't you hold me?<br/><br />
Okay? It's definitely a promise♡♡♡<br />

'''MESSAGE from Mari'''<br /><br />
''Caption: In a peaceful and clear winter sky― A Valentine’s kiss from Mari♪ ''<br />
<br />
Hey, everybody― how are you doing?<br/><br />
(Giggle)― Me, I’m feeling a little bored♡<br/><br />
In Izu the atmosphere stays calm even in winter― there are a lot of fair-weather days.<br/><br />
Even here in Uchiura― the sky is still pure blue.<br/><br />
A sky without a single cloud as far as the eye can see.<br/><br />
It is cold, but― the clear atmosphere without a thorn is gentle.<br/><br />
On days like this with nothing to do, I feel like strolling down by the seaside, and singing a song♪<br/><br />
<br />
Although, I have to go to school everyday, for a poor little school student like me….<br/><br />
<br />
I’ve been captured yet again by sunny classes.<br/><br />
Boring lessons that continue every day.<br/><br />
Classes that I have to sit in 6 times for 50 minutes each.<br/><br />
Oh, poor me―.<br/><br />
My cute butt is shrieking about it.<br/><br />
Oh― as I gaze out the window in boredom― won’t my prince come and save me?<br/><br />
(Chuckle)♡<br/><br />
<br />
Yes, good idea♪<br/><br />
Truly― hey, won’t somebody come help me before I die of boredom?<br/><br />
Like Rapunzel leaning over her windowsill from the tall castle she’s trapped in―or Juliet standing on her balcony, cursing the names that forbid her marriage.<br/><br />
<br />
If it were me― I’d prefer to be Juliet♡<br/><br />
(Giggle)♡<br/><br />
Oh, my dear Romeo― quickly, quickly come to me♪<br/><br />
My passionate blown kiss is waiting for you, my hero―.<br/><br />

I’ve lived in a foreign country for a long time, and I love port towns. It’s an exciting place where various cultures mix and many tastes clash to create new sensations♡ I’ve also been excited a great deal here in Uchiura♪ That’s why this time, it’s my turn to give you that excitement♡♡<br />

'''MESSAGE from Mari'''<br /><br />
''Caption: Aqours's journey is--- A tour filled with smiles and kindness♡''<br />
<br />
When I heard that the new and upcoming Aqours song would have a railway motif, I was pretty surprised~! <br />
<br />
I mean, there aren’t any railways in Uchiura, right?<br />
<br />
Everyone goes to school by walking or by bike.<br/><br />
Other than that, people like Yohane who live just a bit far away commute only by bus.<br/><br />
In the first place, the closest railway station is more than a 30 minute car ride away.<br/><br />
Or so I thought.<br/><br />
I can see it now.<br/><br />
Even if it’s a railway, it’s also a train for travelers -- it’s alright if I put it that way♡<br/><br />
No matter how you put it, Uchiura is filled with beautiful seas and mountains.<br/><br />
With hot springs, delicious fish, aquariums and tourist spots, it's a great place for a holiday♡<br />
<br />
Thus, we came to do a test shot for a PV with everyone. As expected, we have to start with the appeal of the seaside view! And so, here we are.<br />
<br />
When I look at the sea -- somehow...<br/><br />
Memories surface.<br/><br />
I remember the time when I had just came here.<br/><br />
Uchiura was even more out in the sticks than I had imagined--- but the sea was beautiful. <br/><br />
For someone like me who doesn't like flocking around with other people very much--- I often looked at the sea.<br/><br />
Rather than people, I preferred the sea.<br/><br />
Every time I’m on the tip of the cape, when I listen to music while looking at the empty sea, I would feel as if I’m the only person in the world.<br/><br />
In this world, I’m this tiny---<br/><br />
However, it’s a world I’ve monopolized for my own.<br/><br />
I loved this empty world that stretched on endlessly.<br />
<br />
But---.<br/><br />
If it's now.<br/><br />
When I’m with everyone, the world looks completely different. Strange, isn't it?<br/><br />
Being together with someone else -- isn't bad too.<br/><br />
Or perhaps I should say, it’s more fun than I thought♪<br/><br />
So, everyone, please don’t be afraid of change.<br/><br />
Don’t worry!<br/><br />
Don’t be afraid!!<br/><br />
If you'd open the door, Aqours's smiles will always be there.<br/><br />
I’m always by your side. Don’t forget that, OK?<br/><br />
Let's continue Aqours's journey together no matter where it takes us♪<br />

|-|<br />
|'''What kind of music is industrial metal?'''<ref name="DGM Sep 2015" /><br /><br />
''Asked by ハイレモンさん @Twitter''<br />
<br />
Ah--- You heard about that? You heard about it--- Yep, you definitely heard about it. Kusu kusu♪ Hmm, I think you'll definitely understand it right away if you listened to it on the internet but--- It's a bit like the intense feeling of deep bass in heavy rock? It's fun when there's fire and explosions♡ It's exhilarating~! Please try to give it a listen♪<br />
<br />
'''You take horse-riding lessons, but is there a particular horse you have a really great relationship with?'''<ref name="DGM Sep 2015" /><br /><br />
''Asked by 紫鮫さん @Twitter''<br />
<br />
There is~! Of course♪ The horse I get along best with since I was a child is Starbright! A thoroughbred horse with a large build, it has a pattern on its forehead that resembles a cool white star. It's tall so riding it is a bit hard, and its temper is also a bit rough, but it's clever and kind only to me, a real tsundere horse♡ And oh, it's female, by the way. It's my best friend!<br />
<br />
'''What do you wear when you go to sleep!?'''<ref>Dengeki G's Magazine June 2016 issue</ref><br /><br />
''Asked by ポイントBさん @Twitter''<br />
<br />
The answers everyone is looking forward to are of course, "Only underwear♡" or "Negligee", or maybe "Just perfume♡"--- That's right, isn't it?<br/><br />
No no, that's no good~, having such perverted expectations♪<br/><br />
But I'm sure if I don't tell you all, you would have a looot more anticipation, and might not be able to sleep well so--- I'll tell you specially just this once♡<br/><br />
I'm the sort who always sleeps in a camisole♪<br/><br />
T-shirts always feel constrictive around my chest and make it painful so I don't really wear them much, I think?<br />
<br />
'''Do you have any favorite Japanese idioms?'''<ref name="DGM Nov 2016">Dengeki G's Magazine November 2016 issue</ref><br /><br />
''Asked by 堕天涙子さん''<br />
<br />
Tons of them~!! "''Shichijitsugōken''" (A strong, silent personality), "''Kūzenzetsugo''" (The first and probably the last), "''Itchōisseki''" (In a short period of time), "''Kadai sanseki''" (Challenges abound)!! I especially love phrases that rhyme, with words flow together smoothly~♡ It almost feels like they're music, right? Though English poetry also has rhymes, Japan's phrases has tighter connections and feel sharper in a good way♪ They're so cute they make me excited♡♡<br />
<br />
'''How good are you at horse-riding?'''<ref name="DGM Nov 2016" /><br /><br />
''Asked by 彩狐さん''<br />
<br />
I only do horse-riding as a hobby right now--- so of course I'm nowhere near the level of an actual athlete. Plus it's not the British-style show jumping you might expect in Japan, but a Western style♡ But riding along as though I was one with my horse is always extremely fun! You can leave it to me if you want to ride together♪<br />
<br />
'''Are there any times when you are troubled because your home is a hotel?'''<ref name="DGM Nov 2016" /><br /><br />
''Asked by オルテガー派さん''<br />
<br />
Troubling times--- Not really, I think♡ Ah--- If there was any, it would probably be that it's a little hard for me to receive any secret packages? The mail is always delivered to the reception, and the concierge always delivers it to the rooms, so I think the sender would definitely be checked. All the people who want to send me secret fan letters from here on, please take note♪<br />
<br />
'''You like punk and metal, but after becoming a school idol, have there been any new genres of music that you've started to like?'''<ref name="DGM Nov 2016" /><br /><br />
''Asked by ゆいるびさん''<br />
<br />
Japan's idol songs are unique--- I didn't quite understand them at first, but rather than just being cute, lately I've come to understand that there's also a surprisingly funky side to them--- I think sticking to their cute image is also pretty cool too♡ But it would be great if someday Aqours could form a punk unit, and sing a baa~ad song. Everyone headbanging together♪<br />
<br />
'''What's the best present you ever received that made you happiest?'''<ref name="DGM Nov 2016" /><br /><br />
''Asked by るなまじっくさん''<br />
<br />
That question is so hard--- I mean, any present filled with emotion would make Mari the happiest in the world, so--- Ah, but then, that's right. During my birthday before summer vacation, all the other members sang the birthday song for me♡ That's the best present that made me happiest lately. I won't ever forget the sight of the messy cake which Ruby accidentally flipped over♪<br />
<br />
'''It seems you have your own personal chef, but can you cook?'''<ref name="DGM Nov 2016" /><br /><br />
''Asked by べーやんさん''<br />
<br />
My speciality dish is hot sandwiches wrapped in aluminium foil cooked in an outdoors bonfire♡ Before going on any long rides with my horse, I make them using bread and corned beef. Paired with hot coffee brewed in a pot, it's the best! And so the cuisine I cook is solely outdoors♪ Maybe next time I'll try making baked apple in a Dutch oven next time♡<br />
<br />
'''Does Starbright have any other horses as friends?'''<ref>Dengeki G's Magazine January 2017 issue</ref><br/><br />
''Asked by 鈴生昴さん''<br />
<br />
Right now, it's alone in its stable--- so while it's sad, it doesn't have any other horses as friends, but it seems like it's friends with the cats and penguins raised on the island. Hehe--- Isn't it amazing, for it to have penguins as friends--- Living in a hotel is also interesting in that aspect. So Cute♪ I'm certain it'll make friends with the sea lions and dolphins while living here too♡♡<br />

| colspan="3"|In Episode 1, Uranohoshi Girls' High School student [[Chika Takami]] discovered the school idol group [[Muse|μ's]] while trying to catch a runaway flyer. Having had looked for something to devote her all to for a long time, she was inspired and decided to form her own school idol group.<br />
<br />
After third year student and student council president Dia Kurosawa denied Chika permission to form a school idol club, Chika and [[You Watanabe]] took the ferry to meet up with Kanan Matsuura, who told them she would not be re-entering school for a while longer. The three of them look up and notice a pink helicopter flying past, in which Ohara Mari was sitting.<br />

| colspan="3"|In Episode 3, Chika, You, and [[Riko Sakurauchi]] were training on the beach when they saw the Ohara family's helicopter flying by, which eventually landed near them. <br />
<br />
With Mari's arrival to the school, she introduced herself as the new chairwoman of Uranohoshi Girls' High School. Dia, who knew Mari back from their first year in Uranohoshi, pointed out how unbelievable it was for a third year to be the new chairwoman. Mari showed her proof and stated that she came to support Chika, You, and Riko. She then challenged them to fill the gym with audience in order to get her approval for their School Idol Club. The three second year students realized that there weren't enough students in their school to fill the gym, which caused them to advertise their concert in other places as well. <br />
<br />
Before their concert, Aqours worried about people not attending due to the rain. They laughed it off and stood behind the stage's curtain, hand in hand. However, when the curtains raised, they only had a small group of audience. Included in the audience were Mari, [[Ruby Kurosawa]], [[Hanamaru Kunikida]], and a disguised Yoshiko. Despite this, they continued their concert and performed "[[Daisuki dattara Daijoubu!]]" while Kanan and Dia listened from outside the gym.<br />

|-<br />
| colspan="3"|In episode 4, the school idol club was finally approved by Mari. Although delighted, the second years questioned why she was so keen on helping them.<br />
<br />
A surprised Kanan got a visit from Mari, who explained she had come to scout Kanan as a school idol. The two were revealed to already know each other, and the scene concluded with Mari sighing at Kanan’s stubbornness.<br />

| colspan="3"|In episode 5, the school idol club uploaded a fallen angel themed video online using their new costumes. This upset Dia, but in contrast Mari expressed liking the video.<br />
<br />
In the last scene of the episode, Dia confronted Mari about an email she had received. Mari stated it meant exactly what it said and the flustered Dia asked if she was kidding. However, it was not revealed what was written in the email. <br />

|-<br />
| colspan="3"|In episode 6, Mari told Dia that Uranohoshi Girls’ Academy might be closing due to a declining number of applicants and merging with a high school in Numazu. Mari expressed how important the school was to her, and how she thought school idols could save it, with which Dia disagreed.<br />
<br />
Kanan payed Mari a visit to ask about the school shutting down, to which Mari replied that it was something they would have to fight for, and that she wanted Kanan to fight again. <br />
<br />
Showing the chairwoman their promotional video, Mari told Chika and the rest of Aqours that they did not know what it was that made their town and their school great. After Mari proclaimed she knew better herself, Chika decided not to ask, considering it something they had to figure out for themselves for it to be worth something.<br />
<br />
On her way to the clubroom Chika spotted Dia on stage in the empty auditorium. While she did decline Chika’s offer of joining the school idol club, Dia stated she was happy that they wanted to save the school. As Dia was leaving the room, Ruby stopped Chika from calling out to her, and a flashback showed the third years seemingly right before a school idol performance. Mari showed up and told Dia you can’t run away, only move forward, but Dia denied she had been trying to run away.<br />
<br />
In accordance with Uchiura tradition, all the town members gathered early in the morning of the first day of beach season to make and release floating lanterns. Riko, for whom it was the first time experiencing the tradition, talked about how she did not realize there were so many people living in the town and suggested that maybe that was the special thing about Uchiura and Uranohoshi Girls’ High School. Hearing this, Chika gathered everyone’s attention and introduced Aqours, saying they needed the help of everyone in town to save their school. "[[Yume de Yozora o Terashitai]]" was performed as an insert song by the currently six Aqours members, thus concluding the episode. <br />

| colspan="3"|In episode 7, Aqours were invited to perform at an event in Tokyo. Dia confronted Mari, worried that Aqours would not succeed in Tokyo. To this Mari responded that Dia could try to stop them if she wanted, but questioned if Dia did not have hope that Aqours could succeed where she, Mari and Kanan had previously failed.<br />

|-<br />
| colspan="3"|In episode 8, Kanan met up with Mari after hearing that Aqours had come in last place at the event. She asked Mari what she was going to do, and said saving the school by winning Love Live! was impossible. Mari asked if giving up was a better option, and Kanan walked off the scene saying it was indeed better to do so before someone got hurt, ignoring Mari’s open arms. A crying Mari was left behind, set on regaining the feeling she had had with Kanan and Dia in their school idol group two years prior.<br />

|-<br />
| colspan="3"|In episode 9, a flashback showed Kanan quitting the third years’ school idol group after their return from Tokyo. She mentioned Mari’s turning down an opportunity to study abroad and also said Dia agreed with her there was no point in them continuing.<br />
<br />
On one of her early morning walks Kanan was followed by the school idol club, who overheard Kanan and Mari talking about Kanan’s returning to school. However, Kanan said she was not going to become a school idol again and that she did not want to talk to Mari any more.<br />
<br />
At school, Kanan and Mari got into a heated argument, which made Chika burst into the room and yell at them to break it up, and to come to the club room of the school idol club after school. There, Kanan continued to claim that the fact she could not sing in Tokyo was the reason she had quit being a school idol. Once she had left the room, the other girls pushed Dia into revealing that Kanan did not sing at the event to prevent Mari from performing with an injury, and that she quit being a school idol because she did not want Mari turning down other opportunities. <br />
<br />
Crying, Mari sprinted out into the rain, and ended up at Uranohoshi Girls’ High School. Kanan joined her there and Mari said they needed to talk. She shared her feelings, and slapped Kanan, saying she shouldn’t take it lightly that Mari cared about her. Kanan answered she should tell her straight if that was the way she felt, and the two of them hugged.<br />
<br />
Aqours convinced Dia to join them, Chika saying they’d all help out if juggling school idol duties and student council president duties got too much, and Ruby handing her a stage costume. All nine girls performed “[[Mijuku DREAMER]]” as an insert song, and Dia turned out to be the one who wrote “Aqours” in the sand, it being the same name the third years’ previous idol group had. <br />

| colspan="3"|In episode 10, summer vacation began for the now nine members of Aqours. Summer is the season of the Love Live! competition, and Dia had somehow managed to get her hands on the training schedule μ's used when they were active. Since Kanan and Chika had been asked to help run a snack bar on the beach, the members decided to camp at the Takami family inn in order to make time for practice. <br />
<br />
Initially intimidated by a competing snack bar on the beach, Dia quickly took charge and assigned tasks once she received encouragement from Mari. Riko, Chika and Kanan begun advertising in order to draw in customers, seemingly somewhat unwillingly. Meanwhile, You, Yoshiko and Mari started cooking the food.<br />
<br />
With everyone exhausted after attempting to train the way μ's did, they all sat down to eat Mari’s Stewshine and Yoshiko’s ''Tears of a Fallen Angel'' takoyaki that had not sold during the day.<br />
<br />
Aqours's second day of managing the snack bar wasn’t all too successful either, but everyone enjoyed the curry You made using both Mari’s and Yoshiko’s culinary creations. Dia tried to hold a lesson on Love Live! history, but it was cut short due to Chika’s sister Mito thinking they were being too loud.<br />

| colspan="3"|In episode 11, all the members of Aqours saw Riko off as she left for Tokyo to compete in a piano competition that would take place the same day as the regional Love Live! qualifiers. They made the promise to sing together on the same stage next time.<br />
<br />
As “special practice”, Dia got the eight of them to help clean up the school’s pool, and once they finished they decided to practice their dance in the empty pool. With Riko missing, Aqours needed to adjust their formation, and opted for You to fill in Riko’s spot. <br />
<br />
Having been surprised to discover the first two Aqours members were Chika and You rather than Chika and Riko, Mari confronted You suggesting she was jealous of the relationship between Chika and Riko. Although initially denying the accusation, You eventually opened up and took Mari’s advice to be honest with Chika to heart.<br />
<br />
The night of the Love Live! qualifiers and Riko’s piano competition, everyone wore the matching scrunchies Riko had sent as bracelets. Riko played her piece at the competition, and the remaining eight Aqours members performed “[[Omoi yo Hitotsu ni Nare]]” on stage.<br />

|-<br />
| colspan="3"|In episode 12, the members of Aqours were happy and relieved to find out they made it through the regional qualifiers of the Love Live! after a nervous wait. While the video of their performance had gotten a lot of views and comments, the number of applicants for the school’s open house was still zero. <br />
<br />
Chika couldn’t help but compare Aqours to μ's, and wondered if the school idols she looked up to weren’t regular people after all. Calling the other Aqours members, she suggested they’d all go to Tokyo before Riko went back home, and try to figure out what made μ's great. <br />
<br />
In Tokyo, Chika had arranged for Aqours to meet up with Saint Snow, who told Chika and the others they did not know what made μ's and A-RISE different. To them, what mattered was winning and following in the footsteps of their predecessors. Together, both groups watched the announcement of the Love Live! finals being held at the Akiba Dome on the screen outside the UTX High School building.<br />
<br />
At Riko’s suggestion, Aqours visited Otonokizaka High School. They learned that μ's had not left anything from their school idol days at Otonokizaka, saying their hearts would be connected even without those things. Chika and Riko said the visit had brought them closer to the answer of their question.<br />
<br />
On the train back to Numazu, the nine of them took a stop to look at the sea. Chika said that they couldn’t compare themselves to μ's, and all of the members started realizing that they had to run freely, stand on their own feet and not chase after someone else in order to become great. They decided that what they were running towards was turning the zero into a one.<br />

| colspan="3"|In episode 13, Aqours were practicing for the Love Live! regionals during the hot days of summer vacation. Meanwhile, the number of applicants for Uranohoshi Girls’ High School was still zero. At the end of the day, Mutsu, Itsuki and Yoshimi showed up to tell Chika that they, along with other people in the school, were also interested in saving the school and had thought about becoming school idols. Chika invited them to sing with Aqours at the Love Live!.<br />
<br />
The nine members of Aqours met up with Mutsu, Itsuki and Yoshimi, who brought with them an abundance of other Uranohoshi Girls’ High School students. However, everyone’s excitement was restrained when Riko announced that the rules said only the people who had applied initially would be allowed on stage. In the end, although only Aqours would be on stage, all the other girls decided to cheer them on from the audience.<br />
<br />
Before their performance, the school idol club members reflected on their time together. Ruby and Hanamaru were embraced by Yoshiko, while Mari, Kanan and Dia thanked each other for getting this far, and Chika told You and Riko she wanted to enjoy everything the future had in store together. Proclaiming there weren’t just nine of them, Chika opened the door to the stage.<br />
<br />
Prior to performing their song, Aqours introduced themselves by telling the audience their story and their goal. When they counted to nine, part of the audience yelled “ten”, pronouncing their being the tenth member of the group. <br />
<br />
Halfway through the performance of “[[MIRAI TICKET]]”, Chika called out for everyone to shine together with them. The Aqours supporters of the audience ran down to stand next to the stage, creating a circle of blue light sticks around it. Meanwhile, the number of applicants for the school flipped from zero to one. <br />

| colspan="3"|In episode 1, Mari and Dia were motivating the student body, including the rest of Aqours, to work hard at attracting students to the school this term, too. Chika showed up just when the upcoming Love Live! was mentioned, and they all decided Aqours was going to participate.<br />
<br />
During their regular afternoon practice session on the roof, the girls started discussing holding a concert at the open house. Mari noticed someone calling her phone, but did not pick up. Realizing they would not be able to stay as long at school with the buses’ fall timetable, they set out to find a place to practice in Numazu. Kanan seemed to take note of Mari not acting like her usual self.<br />
<br />
Having argued with her father over the phone about something happening too soon, Mari was confronted by Kanan who wondered what had been bothering her. Mari initially lied and tried to evade the question, but eventually opened up to Kanan.<br />
<br />
The next day at school, Aqours revisited the issue of a new practice space. Without anyone noticing the third years suddenly disappeared. Dia overheard Mari and Kanan talking and realized the truth they were trying to protect her from.<br />
<br />
In a locale made available to the group thanks to You’s father, the third years revealed that the open house has been cancelled, and the decision about the school merger was made final. Chika reacted strongly, saying she would personally seek Mari’s father out and convince him to change his mind, but let it go when the others explained to her how there was nothing to be done. Disheartened, the girls went home.<br />
<br />
When Chika showed up at school early to tell the universe she was not going to give up yet, she was surprised to find the rest of Aqours followed a similar impulse and were there, too. Together, they decided to keep working toward their goal no matter how impossible it may seem. They were going to aim for a miracle.<br />

|-<br />
| colspan="3"|In episode 2, Aqours got the news that the school would stay open for another year if the number of prospective students was raised to at least one hundred. Although this initially sounded like to much for them to handle, Chika motivated them by saying they should not worry about whether it was possible, but rather simply make it happen.<br />
<br />
With the Love Live! coming up sooner than expected, the second years found the workload of having to create two songs at once difficult to handle. To make it easier on them, everyone decided to split the workload and had the second years create a song for the open house while the third and first years created one to perform at the Love Live!. <br />
<br />
While Chika, Riko and You headed for Chika’s house to work on their song, the rest of the girls initially tried Mari’s home as a work space, but found the extravagance there too distracting. Having moved somewhere more understated, they discovered that the differing tastes of the third contra the first years made it difficult to agree on lyrics and music for the song.<br />
<br />
Ruby sent a text to Chika, Riko and You, who so far had not come up with anything either, asking them to come at once. In order to better work together, the first and third years decided to spend some time together try to get to know each other better.<br />
<br />
Having tried a couple of activities together, it was clear that the two groups did not find the same things fun. Needing to seek shelter from a sudden rainstorm, the girls headed to a temple nearby as per Hanamaru’s suggestion.<br />
<br />
Revisiting the idea of creating a song together, it still seemed hopeless until the ceiling started leaking. Together, they all helped place plates and pots on the floor to catch the water, and found that although the tones and tempo of the different raindrops were out of tune, they all came together to create music. <br />
<br />
When all nine girls regrouped, celebrating the two completed songs, Mari received a phone call. <br />

| colspan="3"|In Episode 3, a new problem arose. The school open house was postponed by a week, putting both the Love Live! qualifiers and the open house on the same Sunday.<br />
<br />
Aqours tried to find a way to travel between the two venues in time to perform at both events, without luck. With going by boat and by helicopter both out of the question, it seemed the only possible way to make it in time would be to perform as the first group and catch a bus.<br />
<br />
As the order of the performances would be decided by lottery, the group decided to let Yoshiko do the honors. Much to everyone’s disappointment, they ended up as the 24th group to perform. The group thought the only option left was to choose just one event, but could not decide on one. The next day Chika and Riko suggested they split the group and perform at both events, to which the group reluctantly agreed.<br />
<br />
When Sunday finally came, Chika, Riko, You, Dia and Ruby were overjoyed to be joined by the other four onstage for the performance of [[MY Mai☆TONIGHT]]. Confused when the second years immediately ran off after the song ended, the group found out Chika had arranged for them to use a monorail for mikan transport to travel back to school. With this and help of their school mates, they made it back in time to perform [[Kimi no Kokoro wa Kagayaiteru kai?]] at the open house.<br />

|-<br />
| colspan="3"|In episode 4, Chika woke up in an unusually happy mood. In reply to the other girls’ queries about why she was not nervous to see whether or not they had passed the Love Live! qualifiers, she stated she was sure they would pass, something that proved true moments later. In celebrating their success, Dia noticed how her fellow third years seemed to be getting along well with the younger students, while she still felt a disconnect.<br />
<br />
Chika’s mood fell with the realization that Aqours was out of funds after the recent performances. As they turned both to the gods and Mari’s family in a futile effort to get more money, Dia felt left out when Mari and Kanan both were addressed more informally than she was.<br />
<br />
After they had parted with the others, Dia tried to tell Mari and Kanan how she felt. When they got too close to the truth however, she became defensive and made it sound like she thought it was inappropriate for them to be too close with the first and second year girls. They were not fooled by this, and hoped Dia would come along soon.<br />
<br />
Forced to come up with an idea to replace the one she shot down, Dia led the group into setting up a stand at a flea market. Once again, her expectations of getting close to the others and being addressed informally fell short as she became upset with the rest of the girls not handling the task in the same way she would. <br />
<br />
Afterwards, Chika noticed how there seemed to be something wrong with Dia and spoke of her concerns to Kanan, who said she and Mari would take care of it. As the two confronted Dia, she finally admitted that she would like to be addressed more informally in order to feel closer to the others. The other two teased her about this, but when they met up at Izu Mito Sea Paradise the next day they suggested she use the time they would spend working together to show her less formal side to the others. <br />
<br />
Dia tried her best to make small-talk and play around, becoming increasingly frustrated as the others took this to mean she was angry or upset with something. Finally, Mari and Kanan told the others what was going on, explaining how Dia, despite her cold exterior, gets lonely easily. When a class of kindergartners at the aquarium ran amok, Dia took control of the situation by being authoritative but not as harsh as usual. <br />
<br />
At the end of the day, Aqours gathered. Chika told Dia that it was best if she acted like herself, and how they all appreciate her for who she is. Dia accepted this, and was delighted to finally be addressed with the preferred honorific. <br />

<br />
The group gathered at Chika’s house to decide on a theme for their performance in the Love Live! regionals. While the girls were discussing trying new things for this performance, they noticed Yoshiko had gone home early without warning.<br />
<br />
A few days later, the members of Aqours became concerned with Yoshiko and Riko's weird behavior.<br />

<br />
During practice, everyone was happy to discover Aqours on a list of groups most likely to make the national competition. Before they had time to finish celebrating, the less good news that success in the regionals would rely heavily on the number of students in the school hit them.<br />
<br />
Later at night, Dia and Mari discovered that Kanan had been thinking about the move that cost the first Aqours its place in the Love Live! finals. Kanan thought their idea of trying it again was nothing but harmful. After she tried to throw the notebook containing the move into the sea, Mari dove in to retrieve it.<br />
<br />
Chika brought the question of what made Aqours special up at practice, prompting Mari to introduce the move to the rest of the group, much to Kanan’s dismay. Despite Kanan’s warnings that it would be the most difficult for the center, Chika said she would be able to do it.<br />
<br />
As Chika was struggling to learn the move, everyone became increasingly more worried that she was pushing herself too far. After almost a week of endless trying and failing, she agreed to Kanan’s demand that she give up if she could not do it come next morning.<br />
<br />
Determined to make it work, Chika spent the night on the beach practicing. Despite Riko, You and the first years coming to cheer her on, she failed and felt that she had not accomplished anything. Riko and You reminded her that she had forgotten to thank herself for how far they had come already. As Chika was getting ready to try the move one last time the third years showed up, and the episode concluded with Chika perfectly landing the move during the performance of [[MIRACLE WAVE]] at the Love Live! regional preliminaries.<br />

<br />
Calling in another favor from Mari’s father, the girls managed to get an extension until 5 AM the next morning. Chika initially was eager to do anything she could to help make the number rise, but was talked out of it by the rest of the girls.<br />
<br />
By 1 AM, there still were only 87 applications. Becoming more and more desperate and restless, they sent out the first years to buy something to eat.<br />
<br />
They were still six applicants short by the final hour. Everyone was on edge waiting for the last two applications to drop in during the last minute. Finally, the application page shut down.<br />
<br />
The next day, Mari announced the news to the rest of the school. Aqours initially tried to ignore what had happened and commence practice as usual, but stopped when Chika started crying. They decided to call it a day and take some time to think about whether they still wanted to partake in the Love Live!.<br />
<br />
[[Sora mo Kokoro mo Hareru kara]] was performed as an insert song while everyone took to their respective houses to consider what to do next. Meeting up the next morning, the nine girls agreed that they would never manage to shine as school idols when they had not succeeded in saving their school. At this moment, the rest of the student body showed up saying that they would like for their school to be remembered through Aqours, and convinced the girls not to end their journey yet. <br />

Chika accepted [[Sarah Kazuno]]’s challenge to bring their best to the Love Live! finals, but Ruby noticed that something seemed to be the matter with [[Leah Kazuno]].<br />
<br />
During Saint Snow’s performance, they made a mistake in the choreography and fell on stage, which ended up costing them their spot in the finals. When Aqours went back to their dressing room, they had already left.<br />
<br />
The Uchiura girls went sightseeing in Hakodate, and ended up at the restaurant where Sarah and Leah worked. At dinner the sisters’ fight about Leah wanting to disband Saint Snow resurfaced. In contrast to the other Aqours members, Ruby seemed to understand Leah’s feelings, saying she probably was afraid being a school idol would not be worth it without her sister.<br />

Back in Uchiura, Chika told the others how she suspected the first years might be working on something of their own. The next day, Mari received an email from Ruby.<br />

Ruby and Leah finally revealed their secret to their sisters, and the rest of Aqours were acting mysteriously about also showing up in Hakodate. At the event, Saint Aqours Snow performed [[Awaken the power]].<br />

On New Year’s Day, Aqours were paid a visit by Saint Snow to help them practice. After Aqours switched their kimono for more appropriate practice wear, they were pushed hard by Sarah and Leah.<br />
<br />
The guests were surprised to find out the students of Uranohoshi had failed to save their school from the merger, but were quick to show their support. Mari received a phone call from her parents offering her the position as director at the new school. Due to already having plans for next year she turned the offer down, making everyone aware of their limited time left together. <br />
<br />
Later that night, Mari, Dia and Kanan met up and shared a heartfelt moment of wishing they did not have to part ways after graduation. They reminisced on Mari sneaking out and threatening to disown her parents as an elementary school student, and while they were happy to realize they had taught each other a lot, their attempts to make a wish were once again hindered by downpour.<br />
<br />
The third years gathered the rest of Aqours for a late night drive to find shooting stars. Arriving at a plateau, the rain still had not stopped. Just as the girls wished to be together forever in spite of this, promising to work on making the sky visible, the episode concluded with the clouds clearing up to reveal a night sky full of shooting stars.<br />

Chika, You and Riko set up an arch at the entrance, Mari set up a stand to serve an improved version of her Stewshine dish, and it turned out Yoshimi, Itsuki and Mutsu were the ones to suggest holding the festival.<br />
<br />
Preparations continued, with Hanamaru and Yoshiko working together, Ruby making costumes and Dia putting aside her student council duties to focus on the event. Everything was going smoothly until Shiitake turned up at school, setting everyone back by destroying some of the decorations. To give students more time to finish preparations, Mari arranged for transport home with the help of her family. <br />
<br />
The next day at the festival, everyone’s hard work paid off. Chika walked around school seeing Kanan and You’s underwater showcase, Ruby and Dia’s Love Live! Quiz, Yoshiko, Hanamaru and Riko’s fortune telling stand, as well as her older sisters’ serving grilled mikan. At the end of the day, Yoshimi, Itsuki and Mutsu showed an impressive balloon display.<br />
<br />
After the festival, the students all gathered around a bonfire. Mari spoke about how much the school had meant to her, and ended up voicing her regret about not being able to save it through tears. The student body cheered her up by showing their support for Aqours through a chant, and finally they all sang together.<br />

Before leaving, they met Saint Snow, and Sarah asked Chika if they wanted to win the Love Live!.<br />
<br />
Back at the inn, they started a pillow fight to take their thoughts off of the upcoming performance. Chika, You and Riko decided that come tomorrow they would all go their separate ways before meeting up at the venue.<br />
<br />
In the morning, Chika asked the other members of Aqours if they wanted to win the Love Live!. After going on their respective excursions, the third years crossed paths and reminisced on their past, present and future.

Dia was surprised to find out Mari had arranged for the students to paint farewell messages on the school walls, and the student body arrived at the ceremony splattered with paint. Mari handed out diplomas to the graduating students, and Dia held a speech as student council president. To conclude the ceremony, Aqours announced their Love Live! victory, and [[Aozora Jumping Heart]] was used as an insert song.<br />
<br />
Afterwards, Aqours and the other students went around the school to close doors and finish saying their goodbyes, to each other and to the school. You and Riko were in the music room, Yoshiko, Hanamaru and Ruby in their classroom, Kanan and Dia in Mari’s office giving her her diploma, and Chika closed the door to the club room. Finally, Chika was about to break down in tears as she was closing the school gates, but received help from her friends. <br />
<br />
Some time later, Chika went to the school auditorium and found Aqours, including the third years who had come back to sing together one last time. For their last performance, Aqours sang [[WONDERFUL STORIES]]. <br />

<br />
== Etymology ==<br />
<br />
* The name '''Mari''' means "ball" (鞠) ('''ma''') and "white jasmine" (莉) ('''ri''').<br />
* Mari's surname '''Ohara''' means "small" (小) ('''o''') and "field, plain" (原) ('''hara''').<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*Mari fulfills the smile attribute of the Aqours third years.<br />
*In real life, Mari's home is based on the actual [https://goo.gl/maps/FCxgs3kisEk Awashima Hotel], currently the Wyndham Grand Awashima.<br />
*Unlike the rest of Aqours, Mari wears a turquoise vest in her summer uniform and wears white socks as opposed to black socks.<br />
*Mari has similar features to µ's members [[Eli Ayase]] and [[Nozomi Tojo]].<br />
**Both Mari and Eli are blondes, the tallest of the group, foreigners, and third years.<br />
**Both Mari and Nozomi are Geminis, the bustiest of the group, fluent in English, and love to grope their fellow members.<br />
*Mari is the tallest of all of the Aqours characters at 163 cm (or 5'4"), which is ironic since her seiyuu is the shortest of Aqours seiyuus.<br />
*Mari is the oldest school idol of Aqours.<br />
*Mari is the second school idol to slap her childhood friend. The first being [[Umi Sonoda]].<br />
*Mari is the second character since Dia to run away from arranged marriages set up by her parents (in Mari's case, her mother).<br />
*In the [[Kimi no Kokoro wa Kagayaiteru kai?]] PV, Mari's personality was shown to be more quiet and reserved, compared to her anime personality, where she is more loud and energetic.<br />
*It was stated in Mari's SIF side stories that she has liked marching bands ever since she was a little girl.<br />

<br />
'''Kanan Matsuura''' is a main character in [[Love Live! Sunshine!!]]. She was a third-year student at Uranohoshi Girls' High School and a member of [[Aqours]] until her graduation in the anime's finale.<br />
<br />
She is a member of AZALEA, and was the original leader of Aqours when the group was first formed by she and her childhood friends, Mari Ohara and Dia Kurosawa. Her image color is emerald green.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Kanan is a third-year student living on the offshore island of Awashima with her grandfather, who runs a diving shop there. In the anime, she had a hard time attending classes as she must take care of the shop while her father recovers from a fractured bone. She is able to attend classes from Season 1 Episode 9 onwards. Kanan is childhood friends with Chika Takami, You Watanabe, Dia Kurosawa and Mari Ohara.<br />
<br />
In Season 1 Episodes 6, 8 and 9, it is revealed Kanan had actually formed a school idol group with Mari and Dia two years ago, having convinced the former to join. However, Mari had suffered an injury right before their performance, so she and Dia decided to step down and not perform. After Mari travels to study abroad, she becomes more distant to her peers. It is until Mari learns the truth when Kanan reconciles with her old friend, and decides to become a school idol once again.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Breezily mature, Kanan rarely sweats the details and usually maintains a calm, cool and even stoic demeanor. Though she may seem a bit bland at first, she loves sports and nature, claiming that she is happy every day just by being able to see the dazzling sun, the blue skies and the sea. She isn't as talkative as her fellow third years, speaking the least of them in the anime, but is nevertheless friendly and laid-back.<br />
<br />
Kanan is a very kind, warm-hearted and altruistic individual. She deeply cares for her friends, being very supportive and often putting their needs above her own, going to great lengths to ensure they get what she thinks is best for them. However, due to this, Kanan can fail to realize the others' feelings the same way she does, and she will go to the same lengths to hide the truth if it will hurt the person. This particularly caused her friend, Mari, to accept the chance of studying abroad when in reality she didn't want to, as Mari was content with being with her friends.<br />
<br />
After Mari goes to study abroad, this causes Kanan to live with the weight of her lie, acting much more distant and aloof to Mari when she returns a year and a half later to Uranohoshi. When Mari learns the truth in Season 1 Episode 9, confronting Kanan and expressing how much she cares for her, Kanan finally reconciles with her old friend, stops being distant, and becomes friendly once again.<br />
<br />
Due to the fact the second years are considered "the heart" of Aqours, Kanan has some difficulty relating to the first years, which is shared with Mari; this is due to her preference for the outdoors and for sports. Season 2 Episode 2 explores this, and after a rainy evening forces the girls to stay indoors, the first and third years are able to relate to the others, with Kanan seemingly relating to Hanamaru Kunikida the most.<br />
<br />
While athletic, mature and composed, Kanan has a sweet and soft personality. She is also afraid of strange, creaking sounds as seen in Season 2 Episode 2, and afraid of heights as seen in Season 2 Episode 8. She also likes hugs ever since her childhood, and will often hug her friends if given the opportunity, usually declaring her catchphrase "Hagu shiyo" (ハグしよ "Let's hug") before so.<br />
<br />
Although Kanan is intelligent and level-headed, she doesn't get very good grades. This is due to her poor attendance at school due to the fact she must help her family with work; with that said, it's also seen she doesn't like reading and easily gets tired of it.<br />

'''Mari Ohara''' is a main character in ''[[Love Live! Sunshine!!]]''. She was a re-enrolled third-year student at [[Uranohoshi Girls' High School]] until she graduated in the anime's [[Our Own Radiance|series finale]]. She is a member of [[Guilty Kiss]], a sub-unit under [[Aqours]] and was a member of the original group. Her image color is violet.<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
Mari is a third-year student whose parents (her mother and Italian-American father) manage a hotel chain, Ohara Hotels and Resorts, including [[Hotel Ohara]] on Awashima Island (based on the actual [https://www.google.com/maps/place/Awashima+Hotel/@35.0358862,138.8865076,17.75z Awashima Hotel], currently the Wyndham Grand Awashima) where Mari lives in a suite, which proves her upbringing from a very wealthy family.<ref name="LLSS translated intro">[http://www.lovelive-anime.jp/uranohoshi/worldwide/member.php Official Character Introductions]</ref> She's childhood friends with [[Kanan Matsuura]] and [[Dia Kurosawa]], knowing them since elementary school.<br />
<br />
Due to her part Italian-American upbringing, Mari speaks with an accent and often inserts English words into her speech every few lines (in the English dub, the English words are replaced with Italian words).<ref>[[Koi ni Naritai AQUARIUM|Koi ni Naritai AQUARIUM Radio Dramas]]</ref> She also tends to speak in the third-person.<br />
<br />
She is first seen in [[I Want to Shine!!|the first episode]] flying in the family's helicopter, before formally appearing in [[First Step|Episode 3]], where she becomes the director of Uranohoshi Girls' High School (despite still being a student) after her family contributed a large amount of money to the school. [[Let's Make a PV|Season 1 Episodes 6]], [[Isn't it Frustrating|8]] and [[Young DREAMER|9]] reveal that she, Kanan and Dia formed a school idol group two years ago while on their first year, Kanan having convinced Mari to join. However, Mari had suffered an injury right before an important performance, so Kanan and Dia decided to step down and not perform. Later on, Mari leaves Uchiura to study abroad after the three disband their school idol group. Once Mari learns the truth in Episode 9, she confronts Kanan over it, but both reconcile with the other and decide to become school idols once again, joining Aqours alongside Dia.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Mari has a cheerful, eccentric and mischievous personality, makes many jokes, and often prefers to work by herself. She always keeps her chin up when faced with hardship so as not to burden others, and is ready to try her hand at anything. However, as a half-foreigner, she does not feel that she is very suited to being a Japanese-style idol. <br />
<br />
Despite Mari's cheerful personality, there are times when she can be serious as shown in Season 1 Episode 9.<br />
<br />
Mari speaks with an accent, and she has a high, cheerful voice. Mari often inserts English words (Italian in the English dub) into her sentences, but when she is sad or serious, the pitch of her voice becomes lower, she loses her accent, and she uses English words less.<br />
<br />
==Clubs and Hobbies==<br />
Mari's hobbies include sports and horseback riding, and her talent is in her flexibility and singing. Her favorite genre of music is industrial metal, as stated in her official introduction and shown in Season 2 Episode 2. <br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Mari has a slim figure with light blond hair that she has tied into a braided headband with a loop on the left side and bright green eyes.{{clr}}<br />

Eeeh!? Me becoming an idol? You mean like being in formation with everyone wearing frilly uniforms, dancing dances that look like they were from games back in kindergarten, becoming someone like those funny girls!?!? ... Ah, sorry. I didn't mean to say anything bad. Japanese idols are re~ally cute, I know, I know but, but it's a bit too strict for me, SO HARD--- Yeah, I'm not really suited for it. Ahahahaha --♪ You see, my favorite genre of music is industrial metal. That's why I'm sorry. If you're all gonna do it, I'll cheer everyone on from faraway♡ I have horseback riding lessons later so I gotta head home, okay? Ciao~♪♪<br />

Aa--- Great wind today too!<br /><br />
On sunny days with great wind like this, living on even this tiny island--- might not be too bad, I think.<br /><br />
Since my family runs a hotel chain, I can stay anywhere I want all across the world--- What did I do to deserve staying on this tiny tiny island in the middle of Izu peninsula in Shizuoka, sometimes I question that.<br /><br />
But, oh well.<br /><br />
At any rate, once I graduate from high school, I'll leave Japan and go to college overseas. Until then, I think experiencing life in such a Japanese countryside isn't bad too.<br /><br />
It's a bit boring but--- The air is great, the scenery is beautiful, and there aren't that many people, and the seafood is the best♪<br /><br />
What I want is an intense and vibrant daily life similar to the hard rock I love--- I'll be entirely OK even after leaving here. Right?<br /><br />
But for now, I'll take it easy.<br /><br />
And enjoy the natural life.<br /><br />
That's why---<br /><br />
School idol, you said?<br /><br />
To become something like that--- even though I made it clear from the start I would have no part of it.<br /><br />
She absoluuutely won't give up, that--- junior of mine, [[Chika Takami|Takami Chika-chan]], was it?<br /><br />
Ahahahaha---♡ I can't take it anymore!<br /><br />
No matter how many times I refused her, she just insisted that she wanted me to join their "Aqours" group.<br /><br />
With zero signs of ever giving up.<br /><br />
But unexpectedly, I don't hate such a straightforward approach.<br /><br />
If she's going to approach me that seriously--- I'll treat her just the same.<br /><br />
But if it's like that, it's now--- Sumo wrestling, Su-Mo-U!<br /><br />
A traditional method of deciding matches in Japan, right?<br /><br />
Challenging me--- If I lose then I'll take part in your group. Ciao~♡ Something like that--- If I try messing around like that, would she get mad?<br /><br />
But, under the clear skies and refreshing wind, splashing about in the surging waves--- An idol, really?<br /><br />
I think it's almost like a reckless battle, but---<br /><br />
I don't hate that.<br /><br />
The stronger the enemy, the more fired up it gets, right?<br />

Hi! It's Mari♪ Today--- I'm just enjoying the sunshine for a bit at my own poolside♡<br /><br />
This year's summer, has everyone been to the sea or pool already? Lately, all the girls have been doing whitening measures perfectly, it seems that the trend is to avoid tanning but--- It's Mari's rule that the summer sun has to be enjoyed to the fullest! Even if there's a faint tan line from the swimsuit--- Don't you think that's another hallmark of summer?<br /><br />
Fufu♡ These wonderful hips that will draw your eyes unwittingly are still in the process of production, so look forward to it! Ah, also, we wanted to make an idol song that brings about the sparkling image of this summer sun--- Today, I'm in the midst of creating musical ideas for Aqours by the poolside. Right now, I'm having some great feelings about that, so do look forward to that too! Ciao~♪<br />

''Caption: Mari will make everyone happy with her smile♪ Do you know? Smiles hold the power of magic!''<br />
<br />
Hi~♪ Everyone, I'm so happy to meet you♡<br /><br />
I'm Mari from Aqours!<br /><br />
From here on out, using our greatest smiles and lovely singing voices, we'll make everyone happy♡<br /><br />
In just a little bit more, our song will reach out to everyone so--- wait for us until then, okay?<br /><br />
Though we're usually typical high school girls in our uniforms, with these cute costumes and our dance, we're school idols that will send a smile to everyone's faces.<br /><br />
Thus, that was how I started my activities with everyone else--- There was only one thing I had in mind. And that is the fact that smiles really have the power to make people happy.<br /><br />
If you think that's a lie, hey, why don't you try forcing a smile right now?<br /><br />
If you do that, then that mouth of yours---<br /><br />
Mari will give you a smooch♡♡<br /><br />
See, you immediately became happy, right? It's a miracle♪<br />

'''MESSAGE from Mari'''<br /><br />
''Caption: We did it! With this, Uranohoshi Girls' High School belongs to us♡ Everyone, come and play~♪''<br />
<br />
Just kidding--- Fufufu♡<br /><br />
Today's the video-shoot for our promotional video-- We sneaked into the principal's office♪<br /><br />
With this, we've captured the nerve center of Uranohoshi!<br /><br />
Aqours has finished conquering the school.<br /><br />
If the school has such cute rulers, everyone would want to enter this school, no mistake about that--- Fufufu☆<br /><br />
Just joking around, while sitting on the sofa.<br /><br />
Hmm as expected, this sofa is great. The school's seats are all hard and screechy, I have always really disliked them.<br /><br />
Alright, from here onwards, I'll skip classes, and come here whenever I want to take afternoon naps!<br /><br />
If I declare that loudly--- Dia played the straight man and hit me for it. No way, what did I say? This is supposed to be the principal's office? "Isn't it obvious that the principal would be here during class time," she said.<br /><br />
That - is - why!<br /><br />
For the time being, that's not the scenario today~!!<br /><br />
After all, the Mari today is the ruler of this school!<br /><br />
Okay for now, I'll act as the principal, Kanan is the vice-principal, and then--- Dia is the curriculum coordinator♡<br /><br />
Ah, if that's not okay, that's fine~, hmm let's see, then I'll promote Dia to vice-principal, Kanan can be the principal--- I'll be the board chairman♪ Fufu, the globe-trotting jet-setter, enigmatic super board chairman!! Someone who casually appears every now and then, and kidnaps cute girls to turn them into idols♡<br /><br />
So cool~♪ Seems like something out of a drama!<br /><br />
Alright, then it's about time everyone decided on their pose, and we can shoot the introduction scene. Is everyone ready? One, two, three♪<br /><br />
"Hi, everyone, it's Aqours from Uranohoshi Girls' High School! If you come to Uranohoshi, seniors as cute as this will be waiting for you♡ Please definitely come play sometime!!<br />

"If you become a school idol, you definitely must aim for the center!" That's what everyone says, but--- Is being the center really that amazing?? If that's the case, then it's time for Mari to make her debut♡ After all, I've come all this way and it's the first time I've seen this in my life, dancing with such amazingly frilly costumes--- If it's come to this, then I definitely have to seize the center position and be number one♡ After all, look at this short skirt! No matter how you look at it, just the process of turning would make some things get revealed~♪ Hey, fufu--- My way of doing things is by never letting go of my intended prey. I have you locked on!

''Caption: Notice our voices, from this town where one can see the sea---''<br />
<br />
'''What is the charm of being a school idol?'''<br/><br />
I'm grateful for everyone's energy in trying to liven the school up, even though it's already been decided to be abolished soon--- Although it's coming from me who's also a part of Aqours. Now every day is just a simplistic happiness, almost enough to forget that slightly serious objective♪ Whether it's for lives or events, I like going on expeditions by train to all sorts of places with the other members♡<br />
<br />
'''What are the good points about Uranohoshi Girls' High School?'''<br/><br />
Perhaps the part where everyone gets along well? Also the hillside road that stretches on and on to the school, surrounded by orange trees♡ And--- the kind teachers who would help deliver food even if I forget my lunch box, being in the sunlight during afternoon classes is the greatest, the classroom I always take afternoon naps in is wonderful too--- That's right, everything! Ura Girls' is full of great things♪ Everyone, come play with us!<br />

''Caption: Aah~, I let out a good sweat today too♪ As expected, morning baths are the best, huh?''<br />
<br />
Mari's mornings always start with horse-riding and jogging♡<br /><br />
Uchiura in this season has a refreshing morning breeze--- Every day is a perfect weather for riding.<br />
<br />
Horse-riding is unexpectedly taxing on the muscles, you know?<br /><br />
On the back of a swaying horse, holding on and maintaining the posture so as to not be thrown off is mainly dependent on leg strength and torso muscles. I have confidence in my abs and thighs♡<br /><br />
Yes, that's why---.<br /><br />
If you ever--- If somewhere in Japan you are ever in trouble being chased by ruffians.<br /><br />
Like a prince on a white horse, I'll appear wearing a cowboy hat, and definitely rescue you by bringing you away on my horse♪<br /><br />
Hehe---♡<br /><br />
My honed reflexes are also well suited for Aqours's dances, it would be great if I could show off my strong points but---.<br /><br />
How about it, maybe that's something for you to look forward to more from here onwards?<br /><br />
--- Ufufu♪<br />
<br />
Since it can't be helped, for starters right now---.<br /><br />
I'll show you one of my good points in this bathroom♪<br /><br />
Everyone loves it, right?<br /><br />
Things like these♡<br /><br />
Mari will always be waiting for your support with this open heart that hides nothing.<br /><br />
Even if we're separated, our hearts will always be together♡<br /><br />
Then, I'll see you later~, Ciao~♡♡♡<br />

''Caption: Ah, we've discovered a leak there too!!''<br/><br />
''Rainy days like these are for Aqours to do battle with the leaky roofs♪''<br />
<br />
Ahhh, [[Riko Sakurauchi|Riko-chan]], stop!!<br /><br />
I've discovered a leak over there too!<br /><br />
Ehh, we have to get them all, catch them while they're in the air♪<br /><br />
Just kidding♡<br /><br />
Ufufu!<br />
<br />
It's amazing~!<br /><br />
We've discovered another leak yet again♡<br /><br />
I've heard that Ura Girls' is a school with a long history, but I was surprised to see it leak like this whenever it rains!<br /><br />
Really, it's a school full of surprises~♪<br /><br />
And not just that, but the repairs can't really keep up, so during rainy days, everyone just places buckets everywhere like this to catch the leaks!<br /><br />
Amazing!<br /><br />
It's way too interesting!!<br /><br />
Ah--- But if it leaks, maybe ghosts might appear too?<br /><br />
Wow, So cool!!<br /><br />
A building where ghosts appear, that would be extremely popular overseas~♡<br /><br />
Appearing quietly within an underground basement filled with moisture and dripping water droplets, an intangible white ghost!<br /><br />
Kyaa!♪<br /><br />
I want to meet it too. The ghost living within Ura Girls'♪<br /><br />
Of course, it's bound to be a cute and lovely female high school girl☆<br /><br />
If I take a video and upload it, it'll likely become an amazingly hot topic~♪<br /><br />
Oh yes, if it's come to this, why don't we search all over the school building thoroughly, and map out all the school's leaks?<br /><br />
If we don't place buckets and bowls properly, it would be bad if an underclassman slips on the wet floors and gets hurt--- right♡♡<br />

Come on~, jeez, don't make that face♪<br/><br />
Even if you want to be a serious demon, how about some juice?<br/><br />
Take it easy♡<br/><br />
I went through the trouble of buying it for you after all!<br />
<br />
Jeez, [[Yoshiko Tsushima|Yohane-chan]] is a serious person after all~.<br/><br />
Missing a bus just once, it's not such a big deal, right?<br/><br />
If we just wait here like this, the bus is sure to come back eventually after all♡<br/><br />
Waiting like this until that happens--- it's not bad, right?<br/><br />
Let's take a break for a bit, take a break♪<br/><br />
Aah♡<br/><br />
Maybe it's a reward for us two, for going out shopping on behalf of the other members?<br/><br />
That's right~, that's definitely it!<br/><br />
On such a hot day, carrying such heavy things, it's definitely a reward for the two of us working so hard♡<br/><br />
From who? Of course, that would be from God♪<br/><br />
--- Ah.<br/><br />
......<br/><br />
Speaking of which, Yohane-chan would be the little demon who's the furthest existence from God.<br/><br />
Sorry, sorry, so sorry~!!<br/><br />
Then, it's definitely a present from Lucifer in hell??<br/><br />
Let's just go with that♪<br />
<br />
--- Hey, Yohane-chan.<br/><br />
Though I also think being serious is one of the Japanese people's virtues and wonderful traits--- Just putting it out there, we're a demon, an angel and a foreigner, right?<br/><br />
For something small like this, it's suitable for the situation♡<br/><br />
Let's just enjoy the present~♪<br/><br />
Let's Enjoy, positive thinking~♡♡♡<br />

''Caption: I'm always connected to my partner, heart to heart♡''<br />
<br />
I've loved horse-riding since childhood♡<br/><br />
Ah, even though I said horse-riding--- What I do isn't the troublesome-looking, formal British style--- but rather the cowboy-style, with simply riding along quickly as its basis♪<br/><br />
Though horses can't speak--- It's really clever, and I've really loved it ever since it was small♡♡<br/><br />
With just the slightest movements of my body--- it's able to sense my feelings.<br/><br />
And just by meeting our eyes--- we can understand each other's feelings.<br/><br />
It's always been my greatest friend.<br/><br />
I can't lie to it either♡<br/><br />
Once I climb onto its back and ride along the country roads, I'll soon forget any unpleasant things no matter how bad they were!<br/><br />
But in Japan, it's truly a pity that there aren't many places where you can ride a horse.<br/><br />
I'm certain Starbright here would definitely have wanted to move about a wide open field too---.<br/><br />
Right now, all I can do is ride it on the road around the island twice a day, in the morning and evening.<br/><br />
Sorry, Starbright.<br/><br />
But--- you understand, right?<br/><br />
--- Hehe♡<br />
<br />
I'm not very good at explaining things in words.<br/><br />
My true feelings---.<br/><br />
It seems that I'm the type who always conveys them directly through physical contact like this, from the bottom of my heart.<br/><br />
And whenever I'm troubled--- I hug and cuddle it like this.<br/><br />
Once we huddle together like this--- Just that is definitely enough to make anything alright♡<br/><br />
This simple person that I am--- Someday I want to do this with you too.<br/><br />
With a hug--- Won't you hold me?<br/><br />
Okay? It's definitely a promise♡♡♡<br />

'''MESSAGE from Mari'''<br /><br />
''Caption: In a peaceful and clear winter sky― A Valentine’s kiss from Mari♪ ''<br />
<br />
Hey, everybody― how are you doing?<br/><br />
(Giggle)― Me, I’m feeling a little bored♡<br/><br />
In Izu the atmosphere stays calm even in winter― there are a lot of fair-weather days.<br/><br />
Even here in Uchiura― the sky is still pure blue.<br/><br />
A sky without a single cloud as far as the eye can see.<br/><br />
It is cold, but― the clear atmosphere without a thorn is gentle.<br/><br />
On days like this with nothing to do, I feel like strolling down by the seaside, and singing a song♪<br/><br />
<br />
Although, I have to go to school everyday, for a poor little school student like me….<br/><br />
<br />
I’ve been captured yet again by sunny classes.<br/><br />
Boring lessons that continue every day.<br/><br />
Classes that I have to sit in 6 times for 50 minutes each.<br/><br />
Oh, poor me―.<br/><br />
My cute butt is shrieking about it.<br/><br />
Oh― as I gaze out the window in boredom― won’t my prince come and save me?<br/><br />
(Chuckle)♡<br/><br />
<br />
Yes, good idea♪<br/><br />
Truly― hey, won’t somebody come help me before I die of boredom?<br/><br />
Like Rapunzel leaning over her windowsill from the tall castle she’s trapped in―or Juliet standing on her balcony, cursing the names that forbid her marriage.<br/><br />
<br />
If it were me― I’d prefer to be Juliet♡<br/><br />
(Giggle)♡<br/><br />
Oh, my dear Romeo― quickly, quickly come to me♪<br/><br />
My passionate blown kiss is waiting for you, my hero―.<br/><br />

<br />
I’ve lived in a foreign country for a long time, and I love port towns. It’s an exciting place where various cultures mix and many tastes clash to create new sensations♡ I’ve also been excited a great deal here in Uchiura♪ That’s why this time, it’s my turn to give you that excitement♡♡<br />

'''MESSAGE from Mari'''<br /><br />
''Caption: Aqours's journey is--- A tour filled with smiles and kindness♡''<br />
<br />
When I heard that the new and upcoming Aqours song would have a railway motif, I was pretty surprised~! <br />
<br />
I mean, there aren’t any railways in Uchiura, right?<br />
<br />
Everyone goes to school by walking or by bike.<br/><br />
Other than that, people like Yohane who live just a bit far away commute only by bus.<br/><br />
In the first place, the closest railway station is more than a 30 minute car ride away.<br/><br />
Or so I thought.<br/><br />
I can see it now.<br/><br />
Even if it’s a railway, it’s also a train for travelers -- it’s alright if I put it that way♡<br/><br />
No matter how you put it, Uchiura is filled with beautiful seas and mountains.<br/><br />
With hot springs, delicious fish, aquariums and tourist spots, it's a great place for a holiday♡<br />
<br />
Thus, we came to do a test shot for a PV with everyone. As expected, we have to start with the appeal of the seaside view! And so, here we are.<br />
<br />
When I look at the sea -- somehow...<br/><br />
Memories surface.<br/><br />
I remember the time when I had just came here.<br/><br />
Uchiura was even more out in the sticks than I had imagined--- but the sea was beautiful. <br/><br />
For someone like me who doesn't like flocking around with other people very much--- I often looked at the sea.<br/><br />
Rather than people, I preferred the sea.<br/><br />
Every time I’m on the tip of the cape, when I listen to music while looking at the empty sea, I would feel as if I’m the only person in the world.<br/><br />
In this world, I’m this tiny---<br/><br />
However, it’s a world I’ve monopolized for my own.<br/><br />
I loved this empty world that stretched on endlessly.<br />
<br />
But---.<br/><br />
If it's now.<br/><br />
When I’m with everyone, the world looks completely different. Strange, isn't it?<br/><br />
Being together with someone else -- isn't bad too.<br/><br />
Or perhaps I should say, it’s more fun than I thought♪<br/><br />
So, everyone, please don’t be afraid of change.<br/><br />
Don’t worry!<br/><br />
Don’t be afraid!!<br/><br />
If you'd open the door, Aqours's smiles will always be there.<br/><br />
I’m always by your side. Don’t forget that, OK?<br/><br />
Let's continue Aqours's journey together no matter where it takes us♪<br />

|-|<br />
|'''What kind of music is industrial metal?'''<ref name="DGM Sep 2015" /><br /><br />
''Asked by ハイレモンさん @Twitter''<br />
<br />
Ah--- You heard about that? You heard about it--- Yep, you definitely heard about it. Kusu kusu♪ Hmm, I think you'll definitely understand it right away if you listened to it on the internet but--- It's a bit like the intense feeling of deep bass in heavy rock? It's fun when there's fire and explosions♡ It's exhilarating~! Please try to give it a listen♪<br />
<br />
'''You take horse-riding lessons, but is there a particular horse you have a really great relationship with?'''<ref name="DGM Sep 2015" /><br /><br />
''Asked by 紫鮫さん @Twitter''<br />
<br />
There is~! Of course♪ The horse I get along best with since I was a child is Starbright! A thoroughbred horse with a large build, it has a pattern on its forehead that resembles a cool white star. It's tall so riding it is a bit hard, and its temper is also a bit rough, but it's clever and kind only to me, a real tsundere horse♡ And oh, it's female, by the way. It's my best friend!<br />
<br />
'''What do you wear when you go to sleep!?'''<ref>Dengeki G's Magazine June 2016 issue</ref><br /><br />
''Asked by ポイントBさん @Twitter''<br />
<br />
The answers everyone is looking forward to are of course, "Only underwear♡" or "Negligee", or maybe "Just perfume♡"--- That's right, isn't it?<br/><br />
No no, that's no good~, having such perverted expectations♪<br/><br />
But I'm sure if I don't tell you all, you would have a looot more anticipation, and might not be able to sleep well so--- I'll tell you specially just this once♡<br/><br />
I'm the sort who always sleeps in a camisole♪<br/><br />
T-shirts always feel constrictive around my chest and make it painful so I don't really wear them much, I think?<br />
<br />
'''Do you have any favorite Japanese idioms?'''<ref name="DGM Nov 2016">Dengeki G's Magazine November 2016 issue</ref><br /><br />
''Asked by 堕天涙子さん''<br />
<br />
Tons of them~!! "''Shichijitsugōken''" (A strong, silent personality), "''Kūzenzetsugo''" (The first and probably the last), "''Itchōisseki''" (In a short period of time), "''Kadai sanseki''" (Challenges abound)!! I especially love phrases that rhyme, with words flow together smoothly~♡ It almost feels like they're music, right? Though English poetry also has rhymes, Japan's phrases has tighter connections and feel sharper in a good way♪ They're so cute they make me excited♡♡<br />
<br />
'''How good are you at horse-riding?'''<ref name="DGM Nov 2016" /><br /><br />
''Asked by 彩狐さん''<br />
<br />
I only do horse-riding as a hobby right now--- so of course I'm nowhere near the level of an actual athlete. Plus it's not the British-style show jumping you might expect in Japan, but a Western style♡ But riding along as though I was one with my horse is always extremely fun! You can leave it to me if you want to ride together♪<br />
<br />
'''Are there any times when you are troubled because your home is a hotel?'''<ref name="DGM Nov 2016" /><br /><br />
''Asked by オルテガー派さん''<br />
<br />
Troubling times--- Not really, I think♡ Ah--- If there was any, it would probably be that it's a little hard for me to receive any secret packages? The mail is always delivered to the reception, and the concierge always delivers it to the rooms, so I think the sender would definitely be checked. All the people who want to send me secret fan letters from here on, please take note♪<br />
<br />
'''You like punk and metal, but after becoming a school idol, have there been any new genres of music that you've started to like?'''<ref name="DGM Nov 2016" /><br /><br />
''Asked by ゆいるびさん''<br />
<br />
Japan's idol songs are unique--- I didn't quite understand them at first, but rather than just being cute, lately I've come to understand that there's also a surprisingly funky side to them--- I think sticking to their cute image is also pretty cool too♡ But it would be great if someday Aqours could form a punk unit, and sing a baa~ad song. Everyone headbanging together♪<br />
<br />
'''What's the best present you ever received that made you happiest?'''<ref name="DGM Nov 2016" /><br /><br />
''Asked by るなまじっくさん''<br />
<br />
That question is so hard--- I mean, any present filled with emotion would make Mari the happiest in the world, so--- Ah, but then, that's right. During my birthday before summer vacation, all the other members sang the birthday song for me♡ That's the best present that made me happiest lately. I won't ever forget the sight of the messy cake which Ruby accidentally flipped over♪<br />
<br />
'''It seems you have your own personal chef, but can you cook?'''<ref name="DGM Nov 2016" /><br /><br />
''Asked by べーやんさん''<br />
<br />
My speciality dish is hot sandwiches wrapped in aluminium foil cooked in an outdoors bonfire♡ Before going on any long rides with my horse, I make them using bread and corned beef. Paired with hot coffee brewed in a pot, it's the best! And so the cuisine I cook is solely outdoors♪ Maybe next time I'll try making baked apple in a Dutch oven next time♡<br />
<br />
'''Does Starbright have any other horses as friends?'''<ref>Dengeki G's Magazine January 2017 issue</ref><br/><br />
''Asked by 鈴生昴さん''<br />
<br />
Right now, it's alone in its stable--- so while it's sad, it doesn't have any other horses as friends, but it seems like it's friends with the cats and penguins raised on the island. Hehe--- Isn't it amazing, for it to have penguins as friends--- Living in a hotel is also interesting in that aspect. So Cute♪ I'm certain it'll make friends with the sea lions and dolphins while living here too♡♡<br />

| colspan="3"|In Episode 1, Uranohoshi Girls' High School student [[Chika Takami]] discovered the school idol group [[Muse|μ's]] while trying to catch a runaway flyer. Having had looked for something to devote her all to for a long time, she was inspired and decided to form her own school idol group.<br />
<br />
After third year student and student council president Dia Kurosawa denied Chika permission to form a school idol club, Chika and [[You Watanabe]] took the ferry to meet up with Kanan Matsuura, who told them she would not be re-entering school for a while longer. The three of them look up and notice a pink helicopter flying past, in which Ohara Mari was sitting.<br />

<br />
With Mari's arrival to the school, she introduced herself as the new chairwoman of Uranohoshi Girls' High School. Dia, who knew Mari back from their first year in Uranohoshi, pointed out how unbelievable it was for a third year to be the new chairwoman. Mari showed her proof and stated that she came to support Chika, You, and Riko. She then challenged them to fill the gym with audience in order to get her approval for their School Idol Club. The three second year students realized that there weren't enough students in their school to fill the gym, which caused them to advertise their concert in other places as well. <br />
<br />
Before their concert, Aqours worried about people not attending due to the rain. They laughed it off and stood behind the stage's curtain, hand in hand. However, when the curtains raised, they only had a small group of audience. Included in the audience were Mari, [[Ruby Kurosawa]], [[Hanamaru Kunikida]], and a disguised Yoshiko. Despite this, they continued their concert and performed "[[Daisuki dattara Daijoubu!]]" while Kanan and Dia listened from outside the gym.<br />

<br />
A surprised Kanan got a visit from Mari, who explained she had come to scout Kanan as a school idol. The two were revealed to already know each other, and the scene concluded with Mari sighing at Kanan’s stubbornness.<br />

Mari expressed how important the school was to her, and how she thought school idols could save it, with which Dia disagreed.<br />
<br />
Kanan payed Mari a visit to ask about the school shutting down, to which Mari replied that it was something they would have to fight for, and that she wanted Kanan to fight again. <br />
<br />
Showing the chairwoman their promotional video, Mari told Chika and the rest of Aqours that they did not know what it was that made their town and their school great. After Mari proclaimed she knew better herself, Chika decided not to ask, considering it something they had to figure out for themselves for it to be worth something.<br />
<br />
On her way to the clubroom Chika spotted Dia on stage in the empty auditorium. While she did decline Chika’s offer of joining the school idol club, Dia stated she was happy that they wanted to save the school. As Dia was leaving the room, Ruby stopped Chika from calling out to her, and a flashback showed the third years seemingly right before a school idol performance. Mari showed up and told Dia you can’t run away, only move forward, but Dia denied she had been trying to run away.<br />
<br />
In accordance with Uchiura tradition, all the town members gathered early in the morning of the first day of beach season to make and release floating lanterns. Riko, for whom it was the first time experiencing the tradition, talked about how she did not realize there were so many people living in the town and suggested that maybe that was the special thing about Uchiura and Uranohoshi Girls’ High School. Hearing this, Chika gathered everyone’s attention and introduced Aqours, saying they needed the help of everyone in town to save their school. "[[Yume de Yozora o Terashitai]]" was performed as an insert song by the currently six Aqours members, thus concluding the episode. <br />

She asked Mari what she was going to do, and said saving the school by winning Love Live! was impossible. Mari asked if giving up was a better option, and Kanan walked off the scene saying it was indeed better to do so before someone got hurt, ignoring Mari’s open arms.

| colspan="3"|In episode 9, a flashback showed Kanan quitting the third years’ school idol group after their return from Tokyo. She mentioned Mari’s turning down an opportunity to study abroad and also said Dia agreed with her there was no point in them continuing.<br />
<br />
On one of her early morning walks Kanan was followed by the school idol club, who overheard Kanan and Mari talking about Kanan’s returning to school. However, Kanan said she was not going to become a school idol again and that she did not want to talk to Mari any more.<br />
<br />
At school, Kanan and Mari got into a heated argument, which made Chika burst into the room and yell at them to break it up, and to come to the club room of the school idol club after school. There, Kanan continued to claim that the fact she could not sing in Tokyo was the reason she had quit being a school idol. Once she had left the room, the other girls pushed Dia into revealing that Kanan did not sing at the event to prevent Mari from performing with an injury, and that she quit being a school idol because she did not want Mari turning down other opportunities. <br />
<br />
Crying, Mari sprinted out into the rain, and ended up at Uranohoshi Girls’ High School. Kanan joined her there and Mari said they needed to talk. She shared her feelings, and slapped Kanan, saying she shouldn’t take it lightly that Mari cared about her. Kanan answered she should tell her straight if that was the way she felt, and the two of them hugged.<br />
<br />
Aqours convinced Dia to join them, Chika saying they’d all help out if juggling school idol duties and student council president duties got too much, and Ruby handing her a stage costume. All nine girls performed “[[Mijuku DREAMER]]” as an insert song, and Dia turned out to be the one who wrote “Aqours” in the sand, it being the same name the third years’ previous idol group had. <br />

Summer is the season of the Love Live! competition, and Dia had somehow managed to get her hands on the training schedule μ's used when they were active. Since Kanan and Chika had been asked to help run a snack bar on the beach, the members decided to camp at the Takami family inn in order to make time for practice. <br />
<br />
Initially intimidated by a competing snack bar on the beach, Dia quickly took charge and assigned tasks once she received encouragement from Mari. Riko, Chika and Kanan begun advertising in order to draw in customers, seemingly somewhat unwillingly. Meanwhile, You, Yoshiko and Mari started cooking the food.<br />
<br />
With everyone exhausted after attempting to train the way μ's did, they all sat down to eat Mari’s Stewshine and Yoshiko’s ''Tears of a Fallen Angel'' takoyaki that had not sold during the day.<br />
<br />
Aqours's second day of managing the snack bar wasn’t all too successful either, but everyone enjoyed the curry You made using both Mari’s and Yoshiko’s culinary creations. Dia tried to hold a lesson on Love Live! history, but it was cut short due to Chika’s sister Mito thinking they were being too loud.<br />

<br />
As “special practice”, Dia got the eight of them to help clean up the school’s pool, and once they finished they decided to practice their dance in the empty pool. With Riko missing, Aqours needed to adjust their formation, and opted for You to fill in Riko’s spot. <br />
<br />
Having been surprised to discover the first two Aqours members were Chika and You rather than Chika and Riko, Mari confronted You suggesting she was jealous of the relationship between Chika and Riko. Although initially denying the accusation, You eventually opened up and took Mari’s advice to be honest with Chika to heart.<br />
<br />
The night of the Love Live! qualifiers and Riko’s piano competition, everyone wore the matching scrunchies Riko had sent as bracelets. Riko played her piece at the competition, and the remaining eight Aqours members performed “[[Omoi yo Hitotsu ni Nare]]” on stage.<br />

While the video of their performance had gotten a lot of views and comments, the number of applicants for the school’s open house was still zero. <br />
<br />
Chika couldn’t help but compare Aqours to μ's, and wondered if the school idols she looked up to weren’t regular people after all. Calling the other Aqours members, she suggested they’d all go to Tokyo before Riko went back home, and try to figure out what made μ's great. <br />
<br />
In Tokyo, Chika had arranged for Aqours to meet up with Saint Snow, who told Chika and the others they did not know what made μ's and A-RISE different. To them, what mattered was winning and following in the footsteps of their predecessors. Together, both groups watched the announcement of the Love Live! finals being held at the Akiba Dome on the screen outside the UTX High School building.<br />
<br />
At Riko’s suggestion, Aqours visited Otonokizaka High School. They learned that μ's had not left anything from their school idol days at Otonokizaka, saying their hearts would be connected even without those things. Chika and Riko said the visit had brought them closer to the answer of their question.<br />
<br />
On the train back to Numazu, the nine of them took a stop to look at the sea. Chika said that they couldn’t compare themselves to μ's, and all of the members started realizing that they had to run freely, stand on their own feet and not chase after someone else in order to become great. They decided that what they were running towards was turning the zero into a one.<br />

Meanwhile, the number of applicants for Uranohoshi Girls’ High School was still zero. At the end of the day, Mutsu, Itsuki and Yoshimi showed up to tell Chika that they, along with other people in the school, were also interested in saving the school and had thought about becoming school idols. Chika invited them to sing with Aqours at the Love Live!.<br />
<br />
The nine members of Aqours met up with Mutsu, Itsuki and Yoshimi, who brought with them an abundance of other Uranohoshi Girls’ High School students. However, everyone’s excitement was restrained when Riko announced that the rules said only the people who had applied initially would be allowed on stage. In the end, although only Aqours would be on stage, all the other girls decided to cheer them on from the audience.<br />
<br />
Before their performance, the school idol club members reflected on their time together. Ruby and Hanamaru were embraced by Yoshiko, while Mari, Kanan and Dia thanked each other for getting this far, and Chika told You and Riko she wanted to enjoy everything the future had in store together. Proclaiming there weren’t just nine of them, Chika opened the door to the stage.<br />
<br />
Prior to performing their song, Aqours introduced themselves by telling the audience their story and their goal. When they counted to nine, part of the audience yelled “ten”, pronouncing their being the tenth member of the group. <br />
<br />
Halfway through the performance of “[[MIRAI TICKET]]”, Chika called out for everyone to shine together with them. The Aqours supporters of the audience ran down to stand next to the stage, creating a circle of blue light sticks around it. Meanwhile, the number of applicants for the school flipped from zero to one. <br />

| colspan="3"|In episode 1, Mari and Dia were motivating the student body, including the rest of Aqours, to work hard at attracting students to the school this term, too. Chika showed up just when the upcoming Love Live! was mentioned, and they all decided Aqours was going to participate.<br />
<br />
During their regular afternoon practice session on the roof, the girls started discussing holding a concert at the open house. Mari noticed someone calling her phone, but did not pick up. Realizing they would not be able to stay as long at school with the buses’ fall timetable, they set out to find a place to practice in Numazu. Kanan seemed to take note of Mari not acting like her usual self.<br />
<br />
Having argued with her father over the phone about something happening too soon, Mari was confronted by Kanan who wondered what had been bothering her. Mari initially lied and tried to evade the question, but eventually opened up to Kanan.<br />
<br />
The next day at school, Aqours revisited the issue of a new practice space. Without anyone noticing the third years suddenly disappeared. Dia overheard Mari and Kanan talking and realized the truth they were trying to protect her from.<br />
<br />
In a locale made available to the group thanks to You’s father, the third years revealed that the open house has been cancelled, and the decision about the school merger was made final. Chika reacted strongly, saying she would personally seek Mari’s father out and convince him to change his mind, but let it go when the others explained to her how there was nothing to be done. Disheartened, the girls went home.<br />
<br />
When Chika showed up at school early to tell the universe she was not going to give up yet, she was surprised to find the rest of Aqours followed a similar impulse and were there, too. Together, they decided to keep working toward their goal no matter how impossible it may seem. They were going to aim for a miracle.<br />

| colspan="3"|In episode 2, Aqours got the news that the school would stay open for another year if the number of prospective students was raised to at least one hundred. Although this initially sounded like to much for them to handle, Chika motivated them by saying they should not worry about whether it was possible, but rather simply make it happen.<br />
<br />
With the Love Live! coming up sooner than expected, the second years found the workload of having to create two songs at once difficult to handle. To make it easier on them, everyone decided to split the workload and had the second years create a song for the open house while the third and first years created one to perform at the Love Live!. <br />
<br />
While Chika, Riko and You headed for Chika’s house to work on their song, the rest of the girls initially tried Mari’s home as a work space, but found the extravagance there too distracting. Having moved somewhere more understated, they discovered that the differing tastes of the third contra the first years made it difficult to agree on lyrics and music for the song.<br />
<br />
Ruby sent a text to Chika, Riko and You, who so far had not come up with anything either, asking them to come at once. In order to better work together, the first and third years decided to spend some time together try to get to know each other better.<br />
<br />
Having tried a couple of activities together, it was clear that the two groups did not find the same things fun. Needing to seek shelter from a sudden rainstorm, the girls headed to a temple nearby as per Hanamaru’s suggestion.<br />
<br />
Revisiting the idea of creating a song together, it still seemed hopeless until the ceiling started leaking. Together, they all helped place plates and pots on the floor to catch the water, and found that although the tones and tempo of the different raindrops were out of tune, they all came together to create music. <br />
<br />
When all nine girls regrouped, celebrating the two completed songs, Mari received a phone call. <br />

<br />
Aqours tried to find a way to travel between the two venues in time to perform at both events, without luck. With going by boat and by helicopter both out of the question, it seemed the only possible way to make it in time would be to perform as the first group and catch a bus.<br />
<br />
As the order of the performances would be decided by lottery, the group decided to let Yoshiko do the honors. Much to everyone’s disappointment, they ended up as the 24th group to perform. The group thought the only option left was to choose just one event, but could not decide on one. The next day Chika and Riko suggested they split the group and perform at both events, to which the group reluctantly agreed.<br />
<br />
When Sunday finally came, Chika, Riko, You, Dia and Ruby were overjoyed to be joined by the other four onstage for the performance of [[MY Mai☆TONIGHT]]. Confused when the second years immediately ran off after the song ended, the group found out Chika had arranged for them to use a monorail for mikan transport to travel back to school. With this and help of their school mates, they made it back in time to perform [[Kimi no Kokoro wa Kagayaiteru kai?]] at the open house.<br />

| colspan="3"|In episode 4, Chika woke up in an unusually happy mood. In reply to the other girls’ queries about why she was not nervous to see whether or not they had passed the Love Live! qualifiers, she stated she was sure they would pass, something that proved true moments later. In celebrating their success, Dia noticed how her fellow third years seemed to be getting along well with the younger students, while she still felt a disconnect.<br />
<br />
Chika’s mood fell with the realization that Aqours was out of funds after the recent performances. As they turned both to the gods and Mari’s family in a futile effort to get more money, Dia felt left out when Mari and Kanan both were addressed more informally than she was.<br />
<br />
After they had parted with the others, Dia tried to tell Mari and Kanan how she felt. When they got too close to the truth however, she became defensive and made it sound like she thought it was inappropriate for them to be too close with the first and second year girls. They were not fooled by this, and hoped Dia would come along soon.<br />
<br />
Forced to come up with an idea to replace the one she shot down, Dia led the group into setting up a stand at a flea market. Once again, her expectations of getting close to the others and being addressed informally fell short as she became upset with the rest of the girls not handling the task in the same way she would. <br />
<br />
Afterwards, Chika noticed how there seemed to be something wrong with Dia and spoke of her concerns to Kanan, who said she and Mari would take care of it. As the two confronted Dia, she finally admitted that she would like to be addressed more informally in order to feel closer to the others. The other two teased her about this, but when they met up at Izu Mito Sea Paradise the next day they suggested she use the time they would spend working together to show her less formal side to the others. <br />
<br />
Dia tried her best to make small-talk and play around, becoming increasingly frustrated as the others took this to mean she was angry or upset with something. Finally, Mari and Kanan told the others what was going on, explaining how Dia, despite her cold exterior, gets lonely easily. When a class of kindergartners at the aquarium ran amok, Dia took control of the situation by being authoritative but not as harsh as usual. <br />
<br />
At the end of the day, Aqours gathered. Chika told Dia that it was best if she acted like herself, and how they all appreciate her for who she is. Dia accepted this, and was delighted to finally be addressed with the preferred honorific. <br />

<br />
During practice, everyone was happy to discover Aqours on a list of groups most likely to make the national competition. Before they had time to finish celebrating, the less good news that success in the regionals would rely heavily on the number of students in the school hit them.<br />
<br />
Later at night, Dia and Mari discovered that Kanan had been thinking about the move that cost the first Aqours its place in the Love Live! finals. Kanan thought their idea of trying it again was nothing but harmful. After she tried to throw the notebook containing the move into the sea, Mari dove in to retrieve it.<br />
<br />
Chika brought the question of what made Aqours special up at practice, prompting Mari to introduce the move to the rest of the group, much to Kanan’s dismay. Despite Kanan’s warnings that it would be the most difficult for the center, Chika said she would be able to do it.<br />
<br />
As Chika was struggling to learn the move, everyone became increasingly more worried that she was pushing herself too far. After almost a week of endless trying and failing, she agreed to Kanan’s demand that she give up if she could not do it come next morning.<br />
<br />
Determined to make it work, Chika spent the night on the beach practicing. Despite Riko, You and the first years coming to cheer her on, she failed and felt that she had not accomplished anything. Riko and You reminded her that she had forgotten to thank herself for how far they had come already. As Chika was getting ready to try the move one last time the third years showed up, and the episode concluded with Chika perfectly landing the move during the performance of [[MIRACLE WAVE]] at the Love Live! regional preliminaries.<br />

Calling in another favor from Mari’s father, the girls managed to get an extension until 5 AM the next morning. Chika initially was eager to do anything she could to help make the number rise, but was talked out of it by the rest of the girls.<br />
<br />
By 1 AM, there still were only 87 applications. Becoming more and more desperate and restless, they sent out the first years to buy something to eat.<br />
<br />
They were still six applicants short by the final hour. Everyone was on edge waiting for the last two applications to drop in during the last minute. Finally, the application page shut down.<br />
<br />
The next day, Mari announced the news to the rest of the school. Aqours initially tried to ignore what had happened and commence practice as usual, but stopped when Chika started crying. They decided to call it a day and take some time to think about whether they still wanted to partake in the Love Live!.<br />
<br />
[[Sora mo Kokoro mo Hareru kara]] was performed as an insert song while everyone took to their respective houses to consider what to do next. Meeting up the next morning, the nine girls agreed that they would never manage to shine as school idols when they had not succeeded in saving their school.

| colspan="3"|In episode 8, Aqours were invited to Hakodate to attend the Hokkaido Love Live! preliminaries as guests. Before the competition, they visited [[Saint Snow]] in their dressing room. Chika accepted [[Sarah Kazuno]]’s challenge to bring their best to the Love Live! finals, but Ruby noticed that something seemed to be the matter with [[Leah Kazuno]].<br />
<br />
During Saint Snow’s performance, they made a mistake in the choreography and fell on stage, which ended up costing them their spot in the finals. When Aqours went back to their dressing room, they had already left.<br />
<br />
The Uchiura girls went sightseeing in Hakodate, and ended up at the restaurant where Sarah and Leah worked. At dinner the sisters’ fight about Leah wanting to disband Saint Snow resurfaced. In contrast to the other Aqours members, Ruby seemed to understand Leah’s feelings, saying she probably was afraid being a school idol would not be worth it without her sister.<br />

<br />
Back in Uchiura, Chika told the others how she suspected the first years might be working on something of their own. The next day, Mari received an email from Ruby.<br />
<br />
Ruby and Leah finally revealed their secret to their sisters, and the rest of Aqours were acting mysteriously about also showing up in Hakodate. At the event, Saint Aqours Snow performed [[Awaken the power]].<br />

<br />
On New Year’s Day, Aqours were paid a visit by Saint Snow to help them practice. After Aqours switched their kimono for more appropriate practice wear, they were pushed hard by Sarah and Leah.<br />
<br />
The guests were surprised to find out the students of Uranohoshi had failed to save their school from the merger, but were quick to show their support. Mari received a phone call from her parents offering her the position as director at the new school. Due to already having plans for next year she turned the offer down, making everyone aware of their limited time left together. <br />
<br />
Later that night, Mari, Dia and Kanan met up and shared a heartfelt moment of wishing they did not have to part ways after graduation. They reminisced on Mari sneaking out and threatening to disown her parents as an elementary school student, and while they were happy to realize they had taught each other a lot, their attempts to make a wish were once again hindered by downpour.<br />
<br />
The third years gathered the rest of Aqours for a late night drive to find shooting stars. Arriving at a plateau, the rain still had not stopped. Just as the girls wished to be together forever in spite of this, promising to work on making the sky visible, the episode concluded with the clouds clearing up to reveal a night sky full of shooting stars.<br />

| colspan="3"| In episode 11, Aqours and the rest of the students of Uranohoshi Girls’ High School were preparing for the School Closing Festival set for the next day. Chika, You and Riko set up an arch at the entrance, Mari set up a stand to serve an improved version of her Stewshine dish, and it turned out Yoshimi, Itsuki and Mutsu were the ones to suggest holding the festival.<br />
<br />
Preparations continued, with Hanamaru and Yoshiko working together, Ruby making costumes and Dia putting aside her student council duties to focus on the event. Everything was going smoothly until Shiitake turned up at school, setting everyone back by destroying some of the decorations. To give students more time to finish preparations, Mari arranged for transport home with the help of her family. <br />
<br />
The next day at the festival, everyone’s hard work paid off. Chika walked around school seeing Kanan and You’s underwater showcase, Ruby and Dia’s Love Live! Quiz, Yoshiko, Hanamaru and Riko’s fortune telling stand, as well as her older sisters’ serving grilled mikan. At the end of the day, Yoshimi, Itsuki and Mutsu showed an impressive balloon display.<br />
<br />
After the festival, the students all gathered around a bonfire. Mari spoke about how much the school had meant to her, and ended up voicing her regret about not being able to save it through tears. The student body cheered her up by showing their support for Aqours through a chant, and finally they all sang together.<br />

Arriving in Tokyo, the girls headed to Kanda Shrine, where they prayed for good fortune in the competition and realized many other school idols had done the same. Before leaving, they met Saint Snow, and Sarah asked Chika if they wanted to win the Love Live!.<br />
<br />
Back at the inn, they started a pillow fight to take their thoughts off of the upcoming performance. Chika, You and Riko decided that come tomorrow they would all go their separate ways before meeting up at the venue.<br />
<br />
In the morning, Chika asked the other members of Aqours if they wanted to win the Love Live!. After going on their respective excursions, the third years crossed paths and reminisced on their past, present and future. Finally, all nine girls ran toward the concert as a group, and did one final Aqours chant together before performing [[WATER BLUE NEW WORLD]] at the Love Live!.<br />

Dia was surprised to find out Mari had arranged for the students to paint farewell messages on the school walls, and the student body arrived at the ceremony splattered with paint. Mari handed out diplomas to the graduating students, and Dia held a speech as student council president. To conclude the ceremony, Aqours announced their Love Live! victory, and [[Aozora Jumping Heart]] was used as an insert song.<br />
<br />
Afterwards, Aqours and the other students went around the school to close doors and finish saying their goodbyes, to each other and to the school. You and Riko were in the music room, Yoshiko, Hanamaru and Ruby in their classroom, Kanan and Dia in Mari’s office giving her her diploma, and Chika closed the door to the club room. Finally, Chika was about to break down in tears as she was closing the school gates, but received help from her friends. <br />
<br />
Some time later, Chika went to the school auditorium and found Aqours, including the third years who had come back to sing together one last time. For their last performance, Aqours sang [[WONDERFUL STORIES]]. <br />

'''Mari Ohara''' is a main character in ''[[Love Live! Sunshine!!]]''. She was a re-enrolled third-year student at [[Uranohoshi Girls' High School]] until she graduated in the anime's [[Our Own Radiance|series finale]]. She is a member of [[Guilty Kiss]], a sub-unit under [[Aqours]] and was a member of the original group. Her image color is violet.<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
Mari is a third-year student whose parents (her mother and Italian-American father) manage a hotel chain, Ohara Hotels and Resorts, including [[Hotel Ohara]] on Awashima Island (based on the actual [https://www.google.com/maps/place/Awashima+Hotel/@35.0358862,138.8865076,17.75z Awashima Hotel], currently the Wyndham Grand Awashima) where Mari lives in a suite, which proves her upbringing from a very wealthy family.<ref name="LLSS translated intro">[http://www.lovelive-anime.jp/uranohoshi/worldwide/member.php Official Character Introductions]</ref> She's childhood friends with [[Kanan Matsuura]] and [[Dia Kurosawa]], knowing them since elementary school.<br />
<br />
Due to her part Italian-American upbringing, Mari speaks with an accent and often inserts English words into her speech every few lines (in the English dub, the English words are replaced with Italian words).<ref>[[Koi ni Naritai AQUARIUM|Koi ni Naritai AQUARIUM Radio Dramas]]</ref> She also tends to speak in the third-person.<br />
<br />
She is first seen in [[I Want to Shine!!|the first episode]] flying in the family's helicopter, before formally appearing in [[First Step|Episode 3]], where she becomes the director of Uranohoshi Girls' High School (despite still being a student) after her family contributed a large amount of money to the school. [[Let's Make a PV|Season 1 Episodes 6]], [[Isn't it Frustrating|8]] and [[Young DREAMER|9]] reveal that she, Kanan and Dia formed a school idol group two years ago while on their first year, Kanan having convinced Mari to join. However, Mari had suffered an injury right before an important performance, so Kanan and Dia decided to step down and not perform. Later on, Mari leaves Uchiura to study abroad after the three disband their school idol group. Once Mari learns the truth in Episode 9, she confronts Kanan over it, but both reconcile with the other and decide to become school idols once again, joining Aqours alongside Dia.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Mari has a cheerful, eccentric and mischievous personality, makes many jokes, and often prefers to work by herself. She always keeps her chin up when faced with hardship so as not to burden others, and is ready to try her hand at anything. However, as a half-foreigner, she does not feel that she is very suited to being a Japanese-style idol. <br />
<br />
Despite Mari's cheerful personality, there are times when she can be serious as shown in Season 1 Episode 9.<br />
<br />
Mari speaks with an accent, and she has a high, cheerful voice. Mari often inserts English words (Italian in the English dub) into her sentences, but when she is sad or serious, the pitch of her voice becomes lower, she loses her accent, and she uses English words less.<br />
<br />
==Clubs and Hobbies==<br />
Mari's hobbies include sports and horseback riding, and her talent is in her flexibility and singing. Her favorite genre of music is industrial metal, as stated in her official introduction and shown in Season 2 Episode 2. <br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Mari has a slim figure with light blond hair that she has tied into a braided headband with a loop on the left side and bright green eyes.{{clr}}<br />

Eeeh!? Me becoming an idol? You mean like being in formation with everyone wearing frilly uniforms, dancing dances that look like they were from games back in kindergarten, becoming someone like those funny girls!?!? ... Ah, sorry. I didn't mean to say anything bad. Japanese idols are re~ally cute, I know, I know but, but it's a bit too strict for me, SO HARD--- Yeah, I'm not really suited for it. Ahahahaha --♪ You see, my favorite genre of music is industrial metal. That's why I'm sorry. If you're all gonna do it, I'll cheer everyone on from faraway♡ I have horseback riding lessons later so I gotta head home, okay? Ciao~♪♪<br />

Aa--- Great wind today too!<br /><br />
On sunny days with great wind like this, living on even this tiny island--- might not be too bad, I think.<br /><br />
Since my family runs a hotel chain, I can stay anywhere I want all across the world--- What did I do to deserve staying on this tiny tiny island in the middle of Izu peninsula in Shizuoka, sometimes I question that.<br /><br />
But, oh well.<br /><br />
At any rate, once I graduate from high school, I'll leave Japan and go to college overseas. Until then, I think experiencing life in such a Japanese countryside isn't bad too.<br /><br />
It's a bit boring but--- The air is great, the scenery is beautiful, and there aren't that many people, and the seafood is the best♪<br /><br />
What I want is an intense and vibrant daily life similar to the hard rock I love--- I'll be entirely OK even after leaving here. Right?<br /><br />
But for now, I'll take it easy.<br /><br />
And enjoy the natural life.<br /><br />
That's why---<br /><br />
School idol, you said?<br /><br />
To become something like that--- even though I made it clear from the start I would have no part of it.<br /><br />
She absoluuutely won't give up, that--- junior of mine, [[Chika Takami|Takami Chika-chan]], was it?<br /><br />
Ahahahaha---♡ I can't take it anymore!<br /><br />
No matter how many times I refused her, she just insisted that she wanted me to join their "Aqours" group.<br /><br />
With zero signs of ever giving up.<br /><br />
But unexpectedly, I don't hate such a straightforward approach.<br /><br />
If she's going to approach me that seriously--- I'll treat her just the same.<br /><br />
But if it's like that, it's now--- Sumo wrestling, Su-Mo-U!<br /><br />
A traditional method of deciding matches in Japan, right?<br /><br />
Challenging me--- If I lose then I'll take part in your group. Ciao~♡ Something like that--- If I try messing around like that, would she get mad?<br /><br />
But, under the clear skies and refreshing wind, splashing about in the surging waves--- An idol, really?<br /><br />
I think it's almost like a reckless battle, but---<br /><br />
I don't hate that.<br /><br />
The stronger the enemy, the more fired up it gets, right?<br />

Hi! It's Mari♪ Today--- I'm just enjoying the sunshine for a bit at my own poolside♡<br /><br />
This year's summer, has everyone been to the sea or pool already? Lately, all the girls have been doing whitening measures perfectly, it seems that the trend is to avoid tanning but--- It's Mari's rule that the summer sun has to be enjoyed to the fullest! Even if there's a faint tan line from the swimsuit--- Don't you think that's another hallmark of summer?<br /><br />
Fufu♡ These wonderful hips that will draw your eyes unwittingly are still in the process of production, so look forward to it! Ah, also, we wanted to make an idol song that brings about the sparkling image of this summer sun--- Today, I'm in the midst of creating musical ideas for Aqours by the poolside. Right now, I'm having some great feelings about that, so do look forward to that too! Ciao~♪<br />

Hi~♪ Everyone, I'm so happy to meet you♡<br /><br />
I'm Mari from Aqours!<br /><br />
From here on out, using our greatest smiles and lovely singing voices, we'll make everyone happy♡<br /><br />
In just a little bit more, our song will reach out to everyone so--- wait for us until then, okay?<br /><br />
Though we're usually typical high school girls in our uniforms, with these cute costumes and our dance, we're school idols that will send a smile to everyone's faces.<br /><br />
Thus, that was how I started my activities with everyone else--- There was only one thing I had in mind. And that is the fact that smiles really have the power to make people happy.<br /><br />
If you think that's a lie, hey, why don't you try forcing a smile right now?<br /><br />
If you do that, then that mouth of yours---<br /><br />
Mari will give you a smooch♡♡<br /><br />
See, you immediately became happy, right? It's a miracle♪<br />

'''MESSAGE from Mari'''<br /><br />
''Caption: We did it! With this, Uranohoshi Girls' High School belongs to us♡ Everyone, come and play~♪''<br />
<br />
Just kidding--- Fufufu♡<br /><br />
Today's the video-shoot for our promotional video-- We sneaked into the principal's office♪<br /><br />
With this, we've captured the nerve center of Uranohoshi!<br /><br />
Aqours has finished conquering the school.<br /><br />
If the school has such cute rulers, everyone would want to enter this school, no mistake about that--- Fufufu☆<br /><br />
Just joking around, while sitting on the sofa.<br /><br />
Hmm as expected, this sofa is great. The school's seats are all hard and screechy, I have always really disliked them.<br /><br />
Alright, from here onwards, I'll skip classes, and come here whenever I want to take afternoon naps!<br /><br />
If I declare that loudly--- Dia played the straight man and hit me for it. No way, what did I say? This is supposed to be the principal's office? "Isn't it obvious that the principal would be here during class time," she said.<br /><br />
That - is - why!<br /><br />
For the time being, that's not the scenario today~!!<br /><br />
After all, the Mari today is the ruler of this school!<br /><br />
Okay for now, I'll act as the principal, Kanan is the vice-principal, and then--- Dia is the curriculum coordinator♡<br /><br />
Ah, if that's not okay, that's fine~, hmm let's see, then I'll promote Dia to vice-principal, Kanan can be the principal--- I'll be the board chairman♪ Fufu, the globe-trotting jet-setter, enigmatic super board chairman!! Someone who casually appears every now and then, and kidnaps cute girls to turn them into idols♡<br /><br />
So cool~♪ Seems like something out of a drama!<br /><br />
Alright, then it's about time everyone decided on their pose, and we can shoot the introduction scene. Is everyone ready? One, two, three♪<br /><br />
"Hi, everyone, it's Aqours from Uranohoshi Girls' High School! If you come to Uranohoshi, seniors as cute as this will be waiting for you♡ Please definitely come play sometime!!<br />

''Caption: Notice our voices, from this town where one can see the sea---''<br />
<br />
'''What is the charm of being a school idol?'''<br/><br />
I'm grateful for everyone's energy in trying to liven the school up, even though it's already been decided to be abolished soon--- Although it's coming from me who's also a part of Aqours. Now every day is just a simplistic happiness, almost enough to forget that slightly serious objective♪ Whether it's for lives or events, I like going on expeditions by train to all sorts of places with the other members♡<br />
<br />
'''What are the good points about Uranohoshi Girls' High School?'''<br/><br />
Perhaps the part where everyone gets along well? Also the hillside road that stretches on and on to the school, surrounded by orange trees♡ And--- the kind teachers who would help deliver food even if I forget my lunch box, being in the sunlight during afternoon classes is the greatest, the classroom I always take afternoon naps in is wonderful too--- That's right, everything! Ura Girls' is full of great things♪ Everyone, come play with us!<br />

''Caption: Aah~, I let out a good sweat today too♪ As expected, morning baths are the best, huh?''<br />
<br />
Mari's mornings always start with horse-riding and jogging♡<br /><br />
Uchiura in this season has a refreshing morning breeze--- Every day is a perfect weather for riding.<br />
<br />
Horse-riding is unexpectedly taxing on the muscles, you know?<br /><br />
On the back of a swaying horse, holding on and maintaining the posture so as to not be thrown off is mainly dependent on leg strength and torso muscles. I have confidence in my abs and thighs♡<br /><br />
Yes, that's why---.<br /><br />
If you ever--- If somewhere in Japan you are ever in trouble being chased by ruffians.<br /><br />
Like a prince on a white horse, I'll appear wearing a cowboy hat, and definitely rescue you by bringing you away on my horse♪<br /><br />
Hehe---♡<br /><br />
My honed reflexes are also well suited for Aqours's dances, it would be great if I could show off my strong points but---.<br /><br />
How about it, maybe that's something for you to look forward to more from here onwards?<br /><br />
--- Ufufu♪<br />
<br />
Since it can't be helped, for starters right now---.<br /><br />
I'll show you one of my good points in this bathroom♪<br /><br />
Everyone loves it, right?<br /><br />
Things like these♡<br /><br />
Mari will always be waiting for your support with this open heart that hides nothing.<br /><br />
Even if we're separated, our hearts will always be together♡<br /><br />
Then, I'll see you later~, Ciao~♡♡♡<br />

''Rainy days like these are for Aqours to do battle with the leaky roofs♪''<br />
<br />
Ahhh, [[Riko Sakurauchi|Riko-chan]], stop!!<br /><br />
I've discovered a leak over there too!<br /><br />
Ehh, we have to get them all, catch them while they're in the air♪<br /><br />
Just kidding♡<br /><br />
Ufufu!<br />
<br />
It's amazing~!<br /><br />
We've discovered another leak yet again♡<br /><br />
I've heard that Ura Girls' is a school with a long history, but I was surprised to see it leak like this whenever it rains!<br /><br />
Really, it's a school full of surprises~♪<br /><br />
And not just that, but the repairs can't really keep up, so during rainy days, everyone just places buckets everywhere like this to catch the leaks!<br /><br />
Amazing!<br /><br />
It's way too interesting!!<br /><br />
Ah--- But if it leaks, maybe ghosts might appear too?<br /><br />
Wow, So cool!!<br /><br />
A building where ghosts appear, that would be extremely popular overseas~♡<br /><br />
Appearing quietly within an underground basement filled with moisture and dripping water droplets, an intangible white ghost!<br /><br />
Kyaa!♪<br /><br />
I want to meet it too. The ghost living within Ura Girls'♪<br /><br />
Of course, it's bound to be a cute and lovely female high school girl☆<br /><br />
If I take a video and upload it, it'll likely become an amazingly hot topic~♪<br /><br />
Oh yes, if it's come to this, why don't we search all over the school building thoroughly, and map out all the school's leaks?<br /><br />
If we don't place buckets and bowls properly, it would be bad if an underclassman slips on the wet floors and gets hurt--- right♡♡<br />

Take it easy♡<br/><br />
I went through the trouble of buying it for you after all!<br />
<br />
Jeez, [[Yoshiko Tsushima|Yohane-chan]] is a serious person after all~.<br/><br />
Missing a bus just once, it's not such a big deal, right?<br/><br />
If we just wait here like this, the bus is sure to come back eventually after all♡<br/><br />
Waiting like this until that happens--- it's not bad, right?<br/><br />
Let's take a break for a bit, take a break♪<br/><br />
Aah♡<br/><br />
Maybe it's a reward for us two, for going out shopping on behalf of the other members?<br/><br />
That's right~, that's definitely it!<br/><br />
On such a hot day, carrying such heavy things, it's definitely a reward for the two of us working so hard♡<br/><br />
From who? Of course, that would be from God♪<br/><br />
--- Ah.<br/><br />
......<br/><br />
Speaking of which, Yohane-chan would be the little demon who's the furthest existence from God.<br/><br />
Sorry, sorry, so sorry~!!<br/><br />
Then, it's definitely a present from Lucifer in hell??<br/><br />
Let's just go with that♪<br />
<br />
--- Hey, Yohane-chan.<br/><br />
Though I also think being serious is one of the Japanese people's virtues and wonderful traits--- Just putting it out there, we're a demon, an angel and a foreigner, right?<br/><br />
For something small like this, it's suitable for the situation♡<br/><br />
Let's just enjoy the present~♪<br/><br />
Let's Enjoy, positive thinking~♡♡♡<br />

''Caption: I'm always connected to my partner, heart to heart♡''<br />
<br />
I've loved horse-riding since childhood♡<br/><br />
Ah, even though I said horse-riding--- What I do isn't the troublesome-looking, formal British style--- but rather the cowboy-style, with simply riding along quickly as its basis♪<br/><br />
Though horses can't speak--- It's really clever, and I've really loved it ever since it was small♡♡<br/><br />
With just the slightest movements of my body--- it's able to sense my feelings.<br/><br />
And just by meeting our eyes--- we can understand each other's feelings.<br/><br />
It's always been my greatest friend.<br/><br />
I can't lie to it either♡<br/><br />
Once I climb onto its back and ride along the country roads, I'll soon forget any unpleasant things no matter how bad they were!<br/><br />
But in Japan, it's truly a pity that there aren't many places where you can ride a horse.<br/><br />
I'm certain Starbright here would definitely have wanted to move about a wide open field too---.<br/><br />
Right now, all I can do is ride it on the road around the island twice a day, in the morning and evening.<br/><br />
Sorry, Starbright.<br/><br />
But--- you understand, right?<br/><br />
--- Hehe♡<br />
<br />
I'm not very good at explaining things in words.<br/><br />
My true feelings---.<br/><br />
It seems that I'm the type who always conveys them directly through physical contact like this, from the bottom of my heart.<br/><br />
And whenever I'm troubled--- I hug and cuddle it like this.<br/><br />
Once we huddle together like this--- Just that is definitely enough to make anything alright♡<br/><br />
This simple person that I am--- Someday I want to do this with you too.<br/><br />
With a hug--- Won't you hold me?<br/><br />
Okay? It's definitely a promise♡♡♡<br />

'''MESSAGE from Mari'''<br /><br />
''Caption: In a peaceful and clear winter sky― A Valentine’s kiss from Mari♪ ''<br />
<br />
Hey, everybody― how are you doing?<br/><br />
(Giggle)― Me, I’m feeling a little bored♡<br/><br />
In Izu the atmosphere stays calm even in winter― there are a lot of fair-weather days.<br/><br />
Even here in Uchiura― the sky is still pure blue.<br/><br />
A sky without a single cloud as far as the eye can see.<br/><br />
It is cold, but― the clear atmosphere without a thorn is gentle.<br/><br />
On days like this with nothing to do, I feel like strolling down by the seaside, and singing a song♪<br/><br />
<br />
Although, I have to go to school everyday, for a poor little school student like me….<br/><br />
<br />
I’ve been captured yet again by sunny classes.<br/><br />
Boring lessons that continue every day.<br/><br />
Classes that I have to sit in 6 times for 50 minutes each.<br/><br />
Oh, poor me―.<br/><br />
My cute butt is shrieking about it.<br/><br />
Oh― as I gaze out the window in boredom― won’t my prince come and save me?<br/><br />
(Chuckle)♡<br/><br />
<br />
Yes, good idea♪<br/><br />
Truly― hey, won’t somebody come help me before I die of boredom?<br/><br />
Like Rapunzel leaning over her windowsill from the tall castle she’s trapped in―or Juliet standing on her balcony, cursing the names that forbid her marriage.<br/><br />
<br />
If it were me― I’d prefer to be Juliet♡<br/><br />
(Giggle)♡<br/><br />
Oh, my dear Romeo― quickly, quickly come to me♪<br/><br />
My passionate blown kiss is waiting for you, my hero―.<br/><br />

<br />
I’ve lived in a foreign country for a long time, and I love port towns. It’s an exciting place where various cultures mix and many tastes clash to create new sensations♡ I’ve also been excited a great deal here in Uchiura♪ That’s why this time, it’s my turn to give you that excitement♡♡<br />

'''MESSAGE from Mari'''<br /><br />
''Caption: Aqours's journey is--- A tour filled with smiles and kindness♡''<br />
<br />
When I heard that the new and upcoming Aqours song would have a railway motif, I was pretty surprised~! <br />
<br />
I mean, there aren’t any railways in Uchiura, right?<br />
<br />
Everyone goes to school by walking or by bike.<br/><br />
Other than that, people like Yohane who live just a bit far away commute only by bus.<br/><br />
In the first place, the closest railway station is more than a 30 minute car ride away.<br/><br />
Or so I thought.<br/><br />
I can see it now.<br/><br />
Even if it’s a railway, it’s also a train for travelers -- it’s alright if I put it that way♡<br/><br />
No matter how you put it, Uchiura is filled with beautiful seas and mountains.<br/><br />
With hot springs, delicious fish, aquariums and tourist spots, it's a great place for a holiday♡<br />
<br />
Thus, we came to do a test shot for a PV with everyone. As expected, we have to start with the appeal of the seaside view! And so, here we are.<br />
<br />
When I look at the sea -- somehow...<br/><br />
Memories surface.<br/><br />
I remember the time when I had just came here.<br/><br />
Uchiura was even more out in the sticks than I had imagined--- but the sea was beautiful. <br/><br />
For someone like me who doesn't like flocking around with other people very much--- I often looked at the sea.<br/><br />
Rather than people, I preferred the sea.<br/><br />
Every time I’m on the tip of the cape, when I listen to music while looking at the empty sea, I would feel as if I’m the only person in the world.<br/><br />
In this world, I’m this tiny---<br/><br />
However, it’s a world I’ve monopolized for my own.<br/><br />
I loved this empty world that stretched on endlessly.<br />
<br />
But---.<br/><br />
If it's now.<br/><br />
When I’m with everyone, the world looks completely different. Strange, isn't it?<br/><br />
Being together with someone else -- isn't bad too.<br/><br />
Or perhaps I should say, it’s more fun than I thought♪<br/><br />
So, everyone, please don’t be afraid of change.<br/><br />
Don’t worry!<br/><br />
Don’t be afraid!!<br/><br />
If you'd open the door, Aqours's smiles will always be there.<br/><br />
I’m always by your side. Don’t forget that, OK?<br/><br />
Let's continue Aqours's journey together no matter where it takes us♪<br />

|-|<br />
|'''What kind of music is industrial metal?'''<ref name="DGM Sep 2015" /><br /><br />
''Asked by ハイレモンさん @Twitter''<br />
<br />
Ah--- You heard about that? You heard about it--- Yep, you definitely heard about it. Kusu kusu♪ Hmm, I think you'll definitely understand it right away if you listened to it on the internet but--- It's a bit like the intense feeling of deep bass in heavy rock? It's fun when there's fire and explosions♡ It's exhilarating~! Please try to give it a listen♪<br />
<br />
'''You take horse-riding lessons, but is there a particular horse you have a really great relationship with?'''<ref name="DGM Sep 2015" /><br /><br />
''Asked by 紫鮫さん @Twitter''<br />
<br />
There is~! Of course♪ The horse I get along best with since I was a child is Starbright! A thoroughbred horse with a large build, it has a pattern on its forehead that resembles a cool white star. It's tall so riding it is a bit hard, and its temper is also a bit rough, but it's clever and kind only to me, a real tsundere horse♡ And oh, it's female, by the way. It's my best friend!<br />
<br />
'''What do you wear when you go to sleep!?'''<ref>Dengeki G's Magazine June 2016 issue</ref><br /><br />
''Asked by ポイントBさん @Twitter''<br />
<br />
The answers everyone is looking forward to are of course, "Only underwear♡" or "Negligee", or maybe "Just perfume♡"--- That's right, isn't it?<br/><br />
No no, that's no good~, having such perverted expectations♪<br/><br />
But I'm sure if I don't tell you all, you would have a looot more anticipation, and might not be able to sleep well so--- I'll tell you specially just this once♡<br/><br />
I'm the sort who always sleeps in a camisole♪<br/><br />
T-shirts always feel constrictive around my chest and make it painful so I don't really wear them much, I think?<br />
<br />
'''Do you have any favorite Japanese idioms?'''<ref name="DGM Nov 2016">Dengeki G's Magazine November 2016 issue</ref><br /><br />
''Asked by 堕天涙子さん''<br />
<br />
Tons of them~!! "''Shichijitsugōken''" (A strong, silent personality), "''Kūzenzetsugo''" (The first and probably the last), "''Itchōisseki''" (In a short period of time), "''Kadai sanseki''" (Challenges abound)!! I especially love phrases that rhyme, with words flow together smoothly~♡ It almost feels like they're music, right? Though English poetry also has rhymes, Japan's phrases has tighter connections and feel sharper in a good way♪ They're so cute they make me excited♡♡<br />
<br />
'''How good are you at horse-riding?'''<ref name="DGM Nov 2016" /><br /><br />
''Asked by 彩狐さん''<br />
<br />
I only do horse-riding as a hobby right now--- so of course I'm nowhere near the level of an actual athlete. Plus it's not the British-style show jumping you might expect in Japan, but a Western style♡ But riding along as though I was one with my horse is always extremely fun! You can leave it to me if you want to ride together♪<br />
<br />
'''Are there any times when you are troubled because your home is a hotel?'''<ref name="DGM Nov 2016" /><br /><br />
''Asked by オルテガー派さん''<br />
<br />
Troubling times--- Not really, I think♡ Ah--- If there was any, it would probably be that it's a little hard for me to receive any secret packages? The mail is always delivered to the reception, and the concierge always delivers it to the rooms, so I think the sender would definitely be checked. All the people who want to send me secret fan letters from here on, please take note♪<br />
<br />
'''You like punk and metal, but after becoming a school idol, have there been any new genres of music that you've started to like?'''<ref name="DGM Nov 2016" /><br /><br />
''Asked by ゆいるびさん''<br />
<br />
Japan's idol songs are unique--- I didn't quite understand them at first, but rather than just being cute, lately I've come to understand that there's also a surprisingly funky side to them--- I think sticking to their cute image is also pretty cool too♡ But it would be great if someday Aqours could form a punk unit, and sing a baa~ad song. Everyone headbanging together♪<br />
<br />
'''What's the best present you ever received that made you happiest?'''<ref name="DGM Nov 2016" /><br /><br />
''Asked by るなまじっくさん''<br />
<br />
That question is so hard--- I mean, any present filled with emotion would make Mari the happiest in the world, so--- Ah, but then, that's right. During my birthday before summer vacation, all the other members sang the birthday song for me♡ That's the best present that made me happiest lately. I won't ever forget the sight of the messy cake which Ruby accidentally flipped over♪<br />
<br />
'''It seems you have your own personal chef, but can you cook?'''<ref name="DGM Nov 2016" /><br /><br />
''Asked by べーやんさん''<br />
<br />
My speciality dish is hot sandwiches wrapped in aluminium foil cooked in an outdoors bonfire♡ Before going on any long rides with my horse, I make them using bread and corned beef. Paired with hot coffee brewed in a pot, it's the best! And so the cuisine I cook is solely outdoors♪ Maybe next time I'll try making baked apple in a Dutch oven next time♡<br />
<br />
'''Does Starbright have any other horses as friends?'''<ref>Dengeki G's Magazine January 2017 issue</ref><br/><br />
''Asked by 鈴生昴さん''<br />
<br />
Right now, it's alone in its stable--- so while it's sad, it doesn't have any other horses as friends, but it seems like it's friends with the cats and penguins raised on the island. Hehe--- Isn't it amazing, for it to have penguins as friends--- Living in a hotel is also interesting in that aspect. So Cute♪ I'm certain it'll make friends with the sea lions and dolphins while living here too♡♡<br />

| colspan="3"|In Episode 1, Uranohoshi Girls' High School student [[Chika Takami]] discovered the school idol group [[Muse|μ's]] while trying to catch a runaway flyer. Having had looked for something to devote her all to for a long time, she was inspired and decided to form her own school idol group.<br />
<br />
After third year student and student council president Dia Kurosawa denied Chika permission to form a school idol club, Chika and [[You Watanabe]] took the ferry to meet up with Kanan Matsuura, who told them she would not be re-entering school for a while longer. The three of them look up and notice a pink helicopter flying past, in which Ohara Mari was sitting.<br />

| colspan="3"|In Episode 3, Chika, You, and [[Riko Sakurauchi]] were training on the beach when they saw the Ohara family's helicopter flying by, which eventually landed near them. <br />
<br />
With Mari's arrival to the school, she introduced herself as the new chairwoman of Uranohoshi Girls' High School. Dia, who knew Mari back from their first year in Uranohoshi, pointed out how unbelievable it was for a third year to be the new chairwoman. Mari showed her proof and stated that she came to support Chika, You, and Riko. She then challenged them to fill the gym with audience in order to get her approval for their School Idol Club. The three second year students realized that there weren't enough students in their school to fill the gym, which caused them to advertise their concert in other places as well. <br />
<br />
Before their concert, Aqours worried about people not attending due to the rain. They laughed it off and stood behind the stage's curtain, hand in hand. However, when the curtains raised, they only had a small group of audience. Included in the audience were Mari, [[Ruby Kurosawa]], [[Hanamaru Kunikida]], and a disguised Yoshiko. Despite this, they continued their concert and performed "[[Daisuki dattara Daijoubu!]]" while Kanan and Dia listened from outside the gym.<br />

|-<br />
| colspan="3"|In episode 4, the school idol club was finally approved by Mari. Although delighted, the second years questioned why she was so keen on helping them.<br />
<br />
A surprised Kanan got a visit from Mari, who explained she had come to scout Kanan as a school idol. The two were revealed to already know each other, and the scene concluded with Mari sighing at Kanan’s stubbornness.<br />

| colspan="3"|In episode 5, the school idol club uploaded a fallen angel themed video online using their new costumes. This upset Dia, but in contrast Mari expressed liking the video.<br />
<br />
In the last scene of the episode, Dia confronted Mari about an email she had received. Mari stated it meant exactly what it said and the flustered Dia asked if she was kidding. However, it was not revealed what was written in the email. <br />

|-<br />
| colspan="3"|In episode 6, Mari told Dia that Uranohoshi Girls’ Academy might be closing due to a declining number of applicants and merging with a high school in Numazu. Mari expressed how important the school was to her, and how she thought school idols could save it, with which Dia disagreed.<br />
<br />
Kanan payed Mari a visit to ask about the school shutting down, to which Mari replied that it was something they would have to fight for, and that she wanted Kanan to fight again. <br />
<br />
Showing the chairwoman their promotional video, Mari told Chika and the rest of Aqours that they did not know what it was that made their town and their school great. After Mari proclaimed she knew better herself, Chika decided not to ask, considering it something they had to figure out for themselves for it to be worth something.<br />
<br />
On her way to the clubroom Chika spotted Dia on stage in the empty auditorium. While she did decline Chika’s offer of joining the school idol club, Dia stated she was happy that they wanted to save the school. As Dia was leaving the room, Ruby stopped Chika from calling out to her, and a flashback showed the third years seemingly right before a school idol performance. Mari showed up and told Dia you can’t run away, only move forward, but Dia denied she had been trying to run away.<br />
<br />
In accordance with Uchiura tradition, all the town members gathered early in the morning of the first day of beach season to make and release floating lanterns. Riko, for whom it was the first time experiencing the tradition, talked about how she did not realize there were so many people living in the town and suggested that maybe that was the special thing about Uchiura and Uranohoshi Girls’ High School. Hearing this, Chika gathered everyone’s attention and introduced Aqours, saying they needed the help of everyone in town to save their school. "[[Yume de Yozora o Terashitai]]" was performed as an insert song by the currently six Aqours members, thus concluding the episode. <br />

| colspan="3"|In episode 7, Aqours were invited to perform at an event in Tokyo. Dia confronted Mari, worried that Aqours would not succeed in Tokyo. To this Mari responded that Dia could try to stop them if she wanted, but questioned if Dia did not have hope that Aqours could succeed where she, Mari and Kanan had previously failed.<br />

|-<br />
| colspan="3"|In episode 8, Kanan met up with Mari after hearing that Aqours had come in last place at the event. She asked Mari what she was going to do, and said saving the school by winning Love Live! was impossible. Mari asked if giving up was a better option, and Kanan walked off the scene saying it was indeed better to do so before someone got hurt, ignoring Mari’s open arms. A crying Mari was left behind, set on regaining the feeling she had had with Kanan and Dia in their school idol group two years prior.<br />

|-<br />
| colspan="3"|In episode 9, a flashback showed Kanan quitting the third years’ school idol group after their return from Tokyo. She mentioned Mari’s turning down an opportunity to study abroad and also said Dia agreed with her there was no point in them continuing.<br />
<br />
On one of her early morning walks Kanan was followed by the school idol club, who overheard Kanan and Mari talking about Kanan’s returning to school. However, Kanan said she was not going to become a school idol again and that she did not want to talk to Mari any more.<br />
<br />
At school, Kanan and Mari got into a heated argument, which made Chika burst into the room and yell at them to break it up, and to come to the club room of the school idol club after school. There, Kanan continued to claim that the fact she could not sing in Tokyo was the reason she had quit being a school idol. Once she had left the room, the other girls pushed Dia into revealing that Kanan did not sing at the event to prevent Mari from performing with an injury, and that she quit being a school idol because she did not want Mari turning down other opportunities. <br />
<br />
Crying, Mari sprinted out into the rain, and ended up at Uranohoshi Girls’ High School. Kanan joined her there and Mari said they needed to talk. She shared her feelings, and slapped Kanan, saying she shouldn’t take it lightly that Mari cared about her. Kanan answered she should tell her straight if that was the way she felt, and the two of them hugged.<br />
<br />
Aqours convinced Dia to join them, Chika saying they’d all help out if juggling school idol duties and student council president duties got too much, and Ruby handing her a stage costume. All nine girls performed “[[Mijuku DREAMER]]” as an insert song, and Dia turned out to be the one who wrote “Aqours” in the sand, it being the same name the third years’ previous idol group had. <br />

| colspan="3"|In episode 10, summer vacation began for the now nine members of Aqours. Summer is the season of the Love Live! competition, and Dia had somehow managed to get her hands on the training schedule μ's used when they were active. Since Kanan and Chika had been asked to help run a snack bar on the beach, the members decided to camp at the Takami family inn in order to make time for practice. <br />
<br />
Initially intimidated by a competing snack bar on the beach, Dia quickly took charge and assigned tasks once she received encouragement from Mari. Riko, Chika and Kanan begun advertising in order to draw in customers, seemingly somewhat unwillingly. Meanwhile, You, Yoshiko and Mari started cooking the food.<br />
<br />
With everyone exhausted after attempting to train the way μ's did, they all sat down to eat Mari’s Stewshine and Yoshiko’s ''Tears of a Fallen Angel'' takoyaki that had not sold during the day.<br />
<br />
Aqours's second day of managing the snack bar wasn’t all too successful either, but everyone enjoyed the curry You made using both Mari’s and Yoshiko’s culinary creations. Dia tried to hold a lesson on Love Live! history, but it was cut short due to Chika’s sister Mito thinking they were being too loud.<br />

| colspan="3"|In episode 11, all the members of Aqours saw Riko off as she left for Tokyo to compete in a piano competition that would take place the same day as the regional Love Live! qualifiers. They made the promise to sing together on the same stage next time.<br />
<br />
As “special practice”, Dia got the eight of them to help clean up the school’s pool, and once they finished they decided to practice their dance in the empty pool. With Riko missing, Aqours needed to adjust their formation, and opted for You to fill in Riko’s spot. <br />
<br />
Having been surprised to discover the first two Aqours members were Chika and You rather than Chika and Riko, Mari confronted You suggesting she was jealous of the relationship between Chika and Riko. Although initially denying the accusation, You eventually opened up and took Mari’s advice to be honest with Chika to heart.<br />
<br />
The night of the Love Live! qualifiers and Riko’s piano competition, everyone wore the matching scrunchies Riko had sent as bracelets. Riko played her piece at the competition, and the remaining eight Aqours members performed “[[Omoi yo Hitotsu ni Nare]]” on stage.<br />

|-<br />
| colspan="3"|In episode 12, the members of Aqours were happy and relieved to find out they made it through the regional qualifiers of the Love Live! after a nervous wait. While the video of their performance had gotten a lot of views and comments, the number of applicants for the school’s open house was still zero. <br />
<br />
Chika couldn’t help but compare Aqours to μ's, and wondered if the school idols she looked up to weren’t regular people after all. Calling the other Aqours members, she suggested they’d all go to Tokyo before Riko went back home, and try to figure out what made μ's great. <br />
<br />
In Tokyo, Chika had arranged for Aqours to meet up with Saint Snow, who told Chika and the others they did not know what made μ's and A-RISE different. To them, what mattered was winning and following in the footsteps of their predecessors. Together, both groups watched the announcement of the Love Live! finals being held at the Akiba Dome on the screen outside the UTX High School building.<br />
<br />
At Riko’s suggestion, Aqours visited Otonokizaka High School. They learned that μ's had not left anything from their school idol days at Otonokizaka, saying their hearts would be connected even without those things. Chika and Riko said the visit had brought them closer to the answer of their question.<br />
<br />
On the train back to Numazu, the nine of them took a stop to look at the sea. Chika said that they couldn’t compare themselves to μ's, and all of the members started realizing that they had to run freely, stand on their own feet and not chase after someone else in order to become great. They decided that what they were running towards was turning the zero into a one.<br />

| colspan="3"|In episode 13, Aqours were practicing for the Love Live! regionals during the hot days of summer vacation. Meanwhile, the number of applicants for Uranohoshi Girls’ High School was still zero. At the end of the day, Mutsu, Itsuki and Yoshimi showed up to tell Chika that they, along with other people in the school, were also interested in saving the school and had thought about becoming school idols. Chika invited them to sing with Aqours at the Love Live!.<br />
<br />
The nine members of Aqours met up with Mutsu, Itsuki and Yoshimi, who brought with them an abundance of other Uranohoshi Girls’ High School students. However, everyone’s excitement was restrained when Riko announced that the rules said only the people who had applied initially would be allowed on stage. In the end, although only Aqours would be on stage, all the other girls decided to cheer them on from the audience.<br />
<br />
Before their performance, the school idol club members reflected on their time together. Ruby and Hanamaru were embraced by Yoshiko, while Mari, Kanan and Dia thanked each other for getting this far, and Chika told You and Riko she wanted to enjoy everything the future had in store together. Proclaiming there weren’t just nine of them, Chika opened the door to the stage.<br />
<br />
Prior to performing their song, Aqours introduced themselves by telling the audience their story and their goal. When they counted to nine, part of the audience yelled “ten”, pronouncing their being the tenth member of the group. <br />
<br />
Halfway through the performance of “[[MIRAI TICKET]]”, Chika called out for everyone to shine together with them. The Aqours supporters of the audience ran down to stand next to the stage, creating a circle of blue light sticks around it. Meanwhile, the number of applicants for the school flipped from zero to one. <br />

| colspan="3"|In episode 1, Mari and Dia were motivating the student body, including the rest of Aqours, to work hard at attracting students to the school this term, too. Chika showed up just when the upcoming Love Live! was mentioned, and they all decided Aqours was going to participate.<br />
<br />
During their regular afternoon practice session on the roof, the girls started discussing holding a concert at the open house. Mari noticed someone calling her phone, but did not pick up. Realizing they would not be able to stay as long at school with the buses’ fall timetable, they set out to find a place to practice in Numazu. Kanan seemed to take note of Mari not acting like her usual self.<br />
<br />
Having argued with her father over the phone about something happening too soon, Mari was confronted by Kanan who wondered what had been bothering her. Mari initially lied and tried to evade the question, but eventually opened up to Kanan.<br />
<br />
The next day at school, Aqours revisited the issue of a new practice space. Without anyone noticing the third years suddenly disappeared. Dia overheard Mari and Kanan talking and realized the truth they were trying to protect her from.<br />
<br />
In a locale made available to the group thanks to You’s father, the third years revealed that the open house has been cancelled, and the decision about the school merger was made final. Chika reacted strongly, saying she would personally seek Mari’s father out and convince him to change his mind, but let it go when the others explained to her how there was nothing to be done. Disheartened, the girls went home.<br />
<br />
When Chika showed up at school early to tell the universe she was not going to give up yet, she was surprised to find the rest of Aqours followed a similar impulse and were there, too. Together, they decided to keep working toward their goal no matter how impossible it may seem. They were going to aim for a miracle.<br />

|-<br />
| colspan="3"|In episode 2, Aqours got the news that the school would stay open for another year if the number of prospective students was raised to at least one hundred. Although this initially sounded like to much for them to handle, Chika motivated them by saying they should not worry about whether it was possible, but rather simply make it happen.<br />
<br />
With the Love Live! coming up sooner than expected, the second years found the workload of having to create two songs at once difficult to handle. To make it easier on them, everyone decided to split the workload and had the second years create a song for the open house while the third and first years created one to perform at the Love Live!. <br />
<br />
While Chika, Riko and You headed for Chika’s house to work on their song, the rest of the girls initially tried Mari’s home as a work space, but found the extravagance there too distracting. Having moved somewhere more understated, they discovered that the differing tastes of the third contra the first years made it difficult to agree on lyrics and music for the song.<br />
<br />
Ruby sent a text to Chika, Riko and You, who so far had not come up with anything either, asking them to come at once. In order to better work together, the first and third years decided to spend some time together try to get to know each other better.<br />
<br />
Having tried a couple of activities together, it was clear that the two groups did not find the same things fun. Needing to seek shelter from a sudden rainstorm, the girls headed to a temple nearby as per Hanamaru’s suggestion.<br />
<br />
Revisiting the idea of creating a song together, it still seemed hopeless until the ceiling started leaking. Together, they all helped place plates and pots on the floor to catch the water, and found that although the tones and tempo of the different raindrops were out of tune, they all came together to create music. <br />
<br />
When all nine girls regrouped, celebrating the two completed songs, Mari received a phone call. <br />

| colspan="3"|In Episode 3, a new problem arose. The school open house was postponed by a week, putting both the Love Live! qualifiers and the open house on the same Sunday.<br />
<br />
Aqours tried to find a way to travel between the two venues in time to perform at both events, without luck. With going by boat and by helicopter both out of the question, it seemed the only possible way to make it in time would be to perform as the first group and catch a bus.<br />
<br />
As the order of the performances would be decided by lottery, the group decided to let Yoshiko do the honors. Much to everyone’s disappointment, they ended up as the 24th group to perform. The group thought the only option left was to choose just one event, but could not decide on one. The next day Chika and Riko suggested they split the group and perform at both events, to which the group reluctantly agreed.<br />
<br />
When Sunday finally came, Chika, Riko, You, Dia and Ruby were overjoyed to be joined by the other four onstage for the performance of [[MY Mai☆TONIGHT]]. Confused when the second years immediately ran off after the song ended, the group found out Chika had arranged for them to use a monorail for mikan transport to travel back to school. With this and help of their school mates, they made it back in time to perform [[Kimi no Kokoro wa Kagayaiteru kai?]] at the open house.<br />

|-<br />
| colspan="3"|In episode 4, Chika woke up in an unusually happy mood. In reply to the other girls’ queries about why she was not nervous to see whether or not they had passed the Love Live! qualifiers, she stated she was sure they would pass, something that proved true moments later. In celebrating their success, Dia noticed how her fellow third years seemed to be getting along well with the younger students, while she still felt a disconnect.<br />
<br />
Chika’s mood fell with the realization that Aqours was out of funds after the recent performances. As they turned both to the gods and Mari’s family in a futile effort to get more money, Dia felt left out when Mari and Kanan both were addressed more informally than she was.<br />
<br />
After they had parted with the others, Dia tried to tell Mari and Kanan how she felt. When they got too close to the truth however, she became defensive and made it sound like she thought it was inappropriate for them to be too close with the first and second year girls. They were not fooled by this, and hoped Dia would come along soon.<br />
<br />
Forced to come up with an idea to replace the one she shot down, Dia led the group into setting up a stand at a flea market. Once again, her expectations of getting close to the others and being addressed informally fell short as she became upset with the rest of the girls not handling the task in the same way she would. <br />
<br />
Afterwards, Chika noticed how there seemed to be something wrong with Dia and spoke of her concerns to Kanan, who said she and Mari would take care of it. As the two confronted Dia, she finally admitted that she would like to be addressed more informally in order to feel closer to the others. The other two teased her about this, but when they met up at Izu Mito Sea Paradise the next day they suggested she use the time they would spend working together to show her less formal side to the others. <br />
<br />
Dia tried her best to make small-talk and play around, becoming increasingly frustrated as the others took this to mean she was angry or upset with something. Finally, Mari and Kanan told the others what was going on, explaining how Dia, despite her cold exterior, gets lonely easily. When a class of kindergartners at the aquarium ran amok, Dia took control of the situation by being authoritative but not as harsh as usual. <br />
<br />
At the end of the day, Aqours gathered. Chika told Dia that it was best if she acted like herself, and how they all appreciate her for who she is. Dia accepted this, and was delighted to finally be addressed with the preferred honorific. <br />

A few days later, the members of Aqours became concerned with Yoshiko and Riko's weird behavior.<br />

| colspan="3"|In episode 6, the venue for the Love Live! regional preliminaries was revealed to be the same as during the last Love Live!. Meanwhile, the third years worried that their deadline for raising the number of prospective students was drawing close.<br />
<br />
During practice, everyone was happy to discover Aqours on a list of groups most likely to make the national competition. Before they had time to finish celebrating, the less good news that success in the regionals would rely heavily on the number of students in the school hit them.<br />
<br />
Later at night, Dia and Mari discovered that Kanan had been thinking about the move that cost the first Aqours its place in the Love Live! finals. Kanan thought their idea of trying it again was nothing but harmful. After she tried to throw the notebook containing the move into the sea, Mari dove in to retrieve it.<br />
<br />
Chika brought the question of what made Aqours special up at practice, prompting Mari to introduce the move to the rest of the group, much to Kanan’s dismay. Despite Kanan’s warnings that it would be the most difficult for the center, Chika said she would be able to do it.<br />
<br />
As Chika was struggling to learn the move, everyone became increasingly more worried that she was pushing herself too far. After almost a week of endless trying and failing, she agreed to Kanan’s demand that she give up if she could not do it come next morning.<br />
<br />
Determined to make it work, Chika spent the night on the beach practicing. Despite Riko, You and the first years coming to cheer her on, she failed and felt that she had not accomplished anything. Riko and You reminded her that she had forgotten to thank herself for how far they had come already. As Chika was getting ready to try the move one last time the third years showed up, and the episode concluded with Chika perfectly landing the move during the performance of [[MIRACLE WAVE]] at the Love Live! regional preliminaries.<br />

| colspan="3"|In episode 7, Aqours was announced to be one of the groups in the Love Live! finals. The video of their performance had been doing well, the only problem was that the number of applicants for the school was not rising as hoped.<br />
<br />
Calling in another favor from Mari’s father, the girls managed to get an extension until 5 AM the next morning. Chika initially was eager to do anything she could to help make the number rise, but was talked out of it by the rest of the girls.<br />
<br />
By 1 AM, there still were only 87 applications. Becoming more and more desperate and restless, they sent out the first years to buy something to eat.<br />
<br />
They were still six applicants short by the final hour. Everyone was on edge waiting for the last two applications to drop in during the last minute. Finally, the application page shut down.<br />
<br />
The next day, Mari announced the news to the rest of the school. Aqours initially tried to ignore what had happened and commence practice as usual, but stopped when Chika started crying. They decided to call it a day and take some time to think about whether they still wanted to partake in the Love Live!.<br />
<br />
[[Sora mo Kokoro mo Hareru kara]] was performed as an insert song while everyone took to their respective houses to consider what to do next. Meeting up the next morning, the nine girls agreed that they would never manage to shine as school idols when they had not succeeded in saving their school. At this moment, the rest of the student body showed up saying that they would like for their school to be remembered through Aqours, and convinced the girls not to end their journey yet. <br />

Chika accepted [[Sarah Kazuno]]’s challenge to bring their best to the Love Live! finals, but Ruby noticed that something seemed to be the matter with [[Leah Kazuno]].<br />
<br />
During Saint Snow’s performance, they made a mistake in the choreography and fell on stage, which ended up costing them their spot in the finals. When Aqours went back to their dressing room, they had already left.<br />
<br />
The Uchiura girls went sightseeing in Hakodate, and ended up at the restaurant where Sarah and Leah worked. At dinner the sisters’ fight about Leah wanting to disband Saint Snow resurfaced. In contrast to the other Aqours members, Ruby seemed to understand Leah’s feelings, saying she probably was afraid being a school idol would not be worth it without her sister.<br />

Back in Uchiura, Chika told the others how she suspected the first years might be working on something of their own. The next day, Mari received an email from Ruby.<br />
<br />
Ruby and Leah finally revealed their secret to their sisters, and the rest of Aqours were acting mysteriously about also showing up in Hakodate. At the event, Saint Aqours Snow performed [[Awaken the power]].<br />

<br />
On New Year’s Day, Aqours were paid a visit by Saint Snow to help them practice. After Aqours switched their kimono for more appropriate practice wear, they were pushed hard by Sarah and Leah.<br />
<br />
The guests were surprised to find out the students of Uranohoshi had failed to save their school from the merger, but were quick to show their support. Mari received a phone call from her parents offering her the position as director at the new school. Due to already having plans for next year she turned the offer down, making everyone aware of their limited time left together. <br />
<br />
Later that night, Mari, Dia and Kanan met up and shared a heartfelt moment of wishing they did not have to part ways after graduation. They reminisced on Mari sneaking out and threatening to disown her parents as an elementary school student, and while they were happy to realize they had taught each other a lot, their attempts to make a wish were once again hindered by downpour.<br />
<br />
The third years gathered the rest of Aqours for a late night drive to find shooting stars. Arriving at a plateau, the rain still had not stopped. Just as the girls wished to be together forever in spite of this, promising to work on making the sky visible, the episode concluded with the clouds clearing up to reveal a night sky full of shooting stars.<br />

Chika, You and Riko set up an arch at the entrance, Mari set up a stand to serve an improved version of her Stewshine dish, and it turned out Yoshimi, Itsuki and Mutsu were the ones to suggest holding the festival.<br />
<br />
Preparations continued, with Hanamaru and Yoshiko working together, Ruby making costumes and Dia putting aside her student council duties to focus on the event. Everything was going smoothly until Shiitake turned up at school, setting everyone back by destroying some of the decorations. To give students more time to finish preparations, Mari arranged for transport home with the help of her family. <br />
<br />
The next day at the festival, everyone’s hard work paid off. Chika walked around school seeing Kanan and You’s underwater showcase, Ruby and Dia’s Love Live! Quiz, Yoshiko, Hanamaru and Riko’s fortune telling stand, as well as her older sisters’ serving grilled mikan. At the end of the day, Yoshimi, Itsuki and Mutsu showed an impressive balloon display.<br />
<br />
After the festival, the students all gathered around a bonfire. Mari spoke about how much the school had meant to her, and ended up voicing her regret about not being able to save it through tears. The student body cheered her up by showing their support for Aqours through a chant, and finally they all sang together.<br />

Arriving in Tokyo, the girls headed to Kanda Shrine, where they prayed for good fortune in the competition and realized many other school idols had done the same. Before leaving, they met Saint Snow, and Sarah asked Chika if they wanted to win the Love Live!.<br />
<br />
Back at the inn, they started a pillow fight to take their thoughts off of the upcoming performance. Chika, You and Riko decided that come tomorrow they would all go their separate ways before meeting up at the venue.<br />
<br />
In the morning, Chika asked the other members of Aqours if they wanted to win the Love Live!. After going on their respective excursions, the third years crossed paths and reminisced on their past, present and future. Finally, all nine girls ran toward the concert as a group, and did one final Aqours chant together before performing [[WATER BLUE NEW WORLD]] at the Love Live!.<br />

Dia was surprised to find out Mari had arranged for the students to paint farewell messages on the school walls, and the student body arrived at the ceremony splattered with paint. Mari handed out diplomas to the graduating students, and Dia held a speech as student council president. To conclude the ceremony, Aqours announced their Love Live! victory, and [[Aozora Jumping Heart]] was used as an insert song.<br />
<br />
Afterwards, Aqours and the other students went around the school to close doors and finish saying their goodbyes, to each other and to the school. You and Riko were in the music room, Yoshiko, Hanamaru and Ruby in their classroom, Kanan and Dia in Mari’s office giving her her diploma, and Chika closed the door to the club room. Finally, Chika was about to break down in tears as she was closing the school gates, but received help from her friends. <br />
<br />
Some time later, Chika went to the school auditorium and found Aqours, including the third years who had come back to sing together one last time. For their last performance, Aqours sang [[WONDERFUL STORIES]]. <br />

<br />
== Etymology ==<br />
<br />
* The name '''Mari''' means "ball" (鞠) ('''ma''') and "white jasmine" (莉) ('''ri''').<br />
* Mari's surname '''Ohara''' means "small" (小) ('''o''') and "field, plain" (原) ('''hara''').<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*Mari fulfills the smile attribute of the Aqours third years.<br />
*In real life, Mari's home is based on the actual [https://goo.gl/maps/FCxgs3kisEk Awashima Hotel], currently the Wyndham Grand Awashima.<br />
*Unlike the rest of Aqours, Mari wears a turquoise vest in her summer uniform and wears white socks as opposed to black socks.<br />
*Mari has similar features to µ's members [[Eli Ayase]] and [[Nozomi Tojo]].<br />
**Both Mari and Eli are blondes, the tallest of the group, foreigners, and third years.<br />
**Both Mari and Nozomi are Geminis, the bustiest of the group, fluent in English, and love to grope their fellow members.<br />
*Mari is the tallest of all of the Aqours characters at 163 cm (or 5'4"), which is ironic since her seiyuu is the shortest of Aqours seiyuus.<br />
*Mari is the oldest school idol of Aqours.<br />
*Mari is the second school idol to slap her childhood friend. The first being [[Umi Sonoda]].<br />
*Mari is the second character since Dia to run away from arranged marriages set up by her parents (in Mari's case, her mother).<br />
*In the [[Kimi no Kokoro wa Kagayaiteru kai?]] PV, Mari's personality was shown to be more quiet and reserved, compared to her anime personality, where she is more loud and energetic.<br />
*It was stated in Mari's SIF side stories that she has liked marching bands ever since she was a little girl.<br />

'''Hanamaru Kunikida''' is a main character in ''[[Love Live! Sunshine!!]]''. She is a second-year student at [[Numazu High School]]. She is a member of [[AZALEA]], a sub-unit under [[Aqours]]. Her image color is yellow.<br />
<br />
She was a first-year student at both [[Uranohoshi Girls' High School]] prior to its closure and [[Seishin High School]] (albeit temporarily) before fully integrated into Numazu High.<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
Hanamaru, known as "Maru" for short (by herself and her friends), is a first year student and the daughter of a family who has run a nearby temple for generations. She lives with her grandparents, and since she does not have a computer, she often reads a lot. Hanamaru is [[Ruby Kurosawa]]'s best friend, and both are often seen near the other. She also attended the same kindergarten as [[Yoshiko Tsushima]], also one of her friends.<br />
<br />
Hanamaru has a distinctive verbal tic and dialect, tending to end her sentences with {{Nihongo|"zura"|ずら}}, as well as using "ora" as a first-person pronoun to refer to herself.<br />
<br />
In the anime, in [[I Want to Shine!!|the first episode]], Hanamaru and Ruby are quickly approached by [[Chika Takami]], who invites them to be school idols. Confused, Hanamaru quickly dismisses the invitation. It is later revealed in [[Two Girls' Feelings|Season 1 Episode 4]] that Hanamaru actually was interested in school idols, especially after seeing a picture of [[Rin Hoshizora]] from [[Muse|µ's]], but couldn't bring herself to being a school idol herself because of her appearance and lack of physical condition. She talks Ruby's sister, [[Dia Kurosawa]], into paying attention to what her sister actually wants, which was being a school idol. After Ruby joins Aqours, she tells Hanamaru about the story of Rin and µ's, and Hanamaru finally decides to join Aqours, supporting Ruby in her endeavor.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Hanamaru is a hardworking girl who diligently works at her family's temple. She spends a lot of time reading alone and is easily distracted by books. Since she was raised as a temple girl, Hanamaru does not watch television much, nor does she use the internet, making her outdated. Because of this, she is fascinated with modern technology, yelling her catchphrase {{Nihongo|"Mirai zura!"|未来ずら|"It's the future, zura!"}} when she sees something advanced such as a computer. She was often teased due to this, but was usually defended by her best friend Ruby; however, the first time it happened, Ruby ended up crying, causing Hanamaru to comfort her instead.<br />
<br />
Hanamaru seems to be quite self-depreciating, calling herself a "chibi procrastinator" and "neither cute nor interesting". She aspires to be like Ruby, whom she sees as "beautiful, cute and dazzling". She is also gentle and caring for those around her. Despite her appearance, Hanamaru is also smart and not easily fooled.<br />
<br />
Due to the fact the Second Years are considered "the heart" of Aqours, Hanamaru has some difficulty relating to the Third Years, which is shared with Yoshiko; this is due to her preference for the indoors and for calmer activities. Season 2 Episode 2 explores this, and after a rainy evening forces the girls to stay indoors, the First and Third Years are able to relate to the others, with Hanamaru seemingly relating to [[Kanan Matsuura]] the most.<br />
<br />
Hanamaru is shown to have a playful and mischievous side; this is especially present when she teases Yoshiko's Fallen Angel behavior and her embarrassing moments (often alongside Ruby), which annoys Yoshiko all the time. She has a surprisingly large appetite, able to eat a food helping quickly and often asking for another one immediately after, and is usually seen eating sweets in the background, the most common of them being a roll of noppo bread.<br />
<br />
In Season 1 Episode 4, Hanamaru stated that since she was little, she was a quiet girl who played off to the side.<br />
<br />
==Clubs and Hobbies==<br />
She is a gifted singer, earning her a spot in a choir. She loves reading and has a deep fondness for Japanese literature, often spending most of her time in the school library, which she helps out at. Her ambition is to become a writer some day.<ref>Maru's 4-koma Drop 1, Dengeki G's Magazine October 2015 issue</ref><br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Hanamaru is short with a slim figure with brownish gold hair and amber eyes. <br />

'''Hanamaru Kunikida''' is a main character in ''[[Love Live! Sunshine!!]]''. She is a second-year student at [[Numazu High School]]. She is a member of [[AZALEA]], a sub-unit under [[Aqours]]. Her image color is yellow.<br />
<br />
She was a first-year student at both [[Uranohoshi Girls' High School]] prior to its closure and [[Seishin High School]] (albeit temporarily) before fully integrated into Numazu High.<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
Hanamaru, known as "Maru" for short (by herself and her friends), is a first year student and the daughter of a family who has run a nearby temple for generations. She lives with her grandparents, and since she does not have a computer, she often reads a lot. Hanamaru is [[Ruby Kurosawa]]'s best friend, and both are often seen near the other. She also attended the same kindergarten as [[Yoshiko Tsushima]], also one of her friends.<br />
<br />
Hanamaru has a distinctive verbal tic and dialect, tending to end her sentences with {{Nihongo|"zura"|ずら}}, as well as using "ora" as a first-person pronoun to refer to herself.<br />
<br />
In the anime, in [[I Want to Shine!!|the first episode]], Hanamaru and Ruby are quickly approached by [[Chika Takami]], who invites them to be school idols. Confused, Hanamaru quickly dismisses the invitation. It is later revealed in [[Two Girls' Feelings|Season 1 Episode 4]] that Hanamaru actually was interested in school idols, especially after seeing a picture of [[Rin Hoshizora]] from [[Muse|µ's]], but couldn't bring herself to being a school idol herself because of her appearance and lack of physical condition. She talks Ruby's sister, [[Dia Kurosawa]], into paying attention to what her sister actually wants, which was being a school idol. After Ruby joins Aqours, she tells Hanamaru about the story of Rin and µ's, and Hanamaru finally decides to join Aqours, supporting Ruby in her endeavor.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Hanamaru is a hardworking girl who diligently works at her family's temple. She spends a lot of time reading alone and is easily distracted by books. Since she was raised as a temple girl, Hanamaru does not watch television much, nor does she use the internet, making her outdated. Because of this, she is fascinated with modern technology, yelling her catchphrase {{Nihongo|"Mirai zura!"|未来ずら|"It's the future, zura!"}} when she sees something advanced such as a computer. She was often teased due to this, but was usually defended by her best friend Ruby; however, the first time it happened, Ruby ended up crying, causing Hanamaru to comfort her instead.<br />
<br />
Hanamaru seems to be quite self-depreciating, calling herself a "chibi procrastinator" and "neither cute nor interesting". She aspires to be like Ruby, whom she sees as "beautiful, cute and dazzling". She is also gentle and caring for those around her. Despite her appearance, Hanamaru is also smart and not easily fooled.<br />
<br />
Due to the fact the Second Years are considered "the heart" of Aqours, Hanamaru has some difficulty relating to the Third Years, which is shared with Yoshiko; this is due to her preference for the indoors and for calmer activities. Season 2 Episode 2 explores this, and after a rainy evening forces the girls to stay indoors, the First and Third Years are able to relate to the others, with Hanamaru seemingly relating to [[Kanan Matsuura]] the most.<br />
<br />
Hanamaru is shown to have a playful and mischievous side; this is especially present when she teases Yoshiko's Fallen Angel behavior and her embarrassing moments (often alongside Ruby), which annoys Yoshiko all the time. She has a surprisingly large appetite, able to eat a food helping quickly and often asking for another one immediately after, and is usually seen eating sweets in the background, the most common of them being a roll of noppo bread.<br />
<br />
In Season 1 Episode 4, Hanamaru stated that since she was little, she was a quiet girl who played off to the side.<br />
<br />
==Clubs and Hobbies==<br />
She is a gifted singer, earning her a spot in a choir. She loves reading and has a deep fondness for Japanese literature, often spending most of her time in the school library, which she helps out at. Her ambition is to become a writer some day.<ref>Maru's 4-koma Drop 1, Dengeki G's Magazine October 2015 issue</ref><br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Hanamaru is short with a slim figure with brownish gold hair and amber eyes. <br />

<br />
'''Kanan Matsuura''' is a main character in [[Love Live! Sunshine!!]]. She was a third-year student at Uranohoshi Girls' High School and a member of [[Aqours]] until her graduation in the anime's finale.<br />
<br />
She is a member of AZALEA, and was the original leader of Aqours when the group was first formed by she and her childhood friends, Mari Ohara and Dia Kurosawa. Her image color is emerald green.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Kanan is a third-year student living on the offshore island of Awashima with her grandfather, who runs a diving shop there. In the anime, she had a hard time attending classes as she must take care of the shop while her father recovers from a fractured bone. She is able to attend classes from Season 1 Episode 9 onwards. Kanan is childhood friends with Chika Takami, You Watanabe, Dia Kurosawa and Mari Ohara.<br />
<br />
In Season 1 Episodes 6, 8 and 9, it is revealed Kanan had actually formed a school idol group with Mari and Dia two years ago, having convinced the former to join. However, Mari had suffered an injury right before their performance, so she and Dia decided to step down and not perform. After Mari travels to study abroad, she becomes more distant to her peers. It is until Mari learns the truth when Kanan reconciles with her old friend, and decides to become a school idol once again.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Breezily mature, Kanan rarely sweats the details and usually maintains a calm, cool and even stoic demeanor. Though she may seem a bit bland at first, she loves sports and nature, claiming that she is happy every day just by being able to see the dazzling sun, the blue skies and the sea. She isn't as talkative as her fellow third years, speaking the least of them in the anime, but is nevertheless friendly and laid-back.<br />
<br />
Kanan is a very kind, warm-hearted and altruistic individual. She deeply cares for her friends, being very supportive and often putting their needs above her own, going to great lengths to ensure they get what she thinks is best for them. However, due to this, Kanan can fail to realize the others' feelings the same way she does, and she will go to the same lengths to hide the truth if it will hurt the person. This particularly caused her friend, Mari, to accept the chance of studying abroad when in reality she didn't want to, as Mari was content with being with her friends.<br />
<br />
After Mari goes to study abroad, this causes Kanan to live with the weight of her lie, acting much more distant and aloof to Mari when she returns a year and a half later to Uranohoshi. When Mari learns the truth in Season 1 Episode 9, confronting Kanan and expressing how much she cares for her, Kanan finally reconciles with her old friend, stops being distant, and becomes friendly once again.<br />
<br />
Due to the fact the second years are considered "the heart" of Aqours, Kanan has some difficulty relating to the first years, which is shared with Mari; this is due to her preference for the outdoors and for sports. Season 2 Episode 2 explores this, and after a rainy evening forces the girls to stay indoors, the first and third years are able to relate to the others, with Kanan seemingly relating to Hanamaru Kunikida the most.<br />
<br />
While athletic, mature and composed, Kanan has a sweet and soft personality. She is also afraid of strange, creaking sounds as seen in Season 2 Episode 2, and afraid of heights as seen in Season 2 Episode 8. She also likes hugs ever since her childhood, and will often hug her friends if given the opportunity, usually declaring her catchphrase "Hagu shiyo" (ハグしよ "Let's hug") before so.<br />
<br />
Although Kanan is intelligent and level-headed, she doesn't get very good grades. This is due to her poor attendance at school due to the fact she must help her family with work; with that said, it's also seen she doesn't like reading and easily gets tired of it.<br />

<br />
'''Kanan Matsuura''' is a main character in [[Love Live! Sunshine!!]]. She was a third-year student at Uranohoshi Girls' High School and a member of [[Aqours]] until her graduation in the anime's finale.<br />
<br />
She is a member of AZALEA, and was the original leader of Aqours when the group was first formed by she and her childhood friends, Mari Ohara and Dia Kurosawa. Her image color is emerald green.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Kanan is a third-year student living on the offshore island of Awashima with her grandfather, who runs a diving shop there. In the anime, she had a hard time attending classes as she must take care of the shop while her father recovers from a fractured bone. She is able to attend classes from Season 1 Episode 9 onwards. Kanan is childhood friends with Chika Takami, You Watanabe, Dia Kurosawa and Mari Ohara.<br />
<br />
In Season 1 Episodes 6, 8 and 9, it is revealed Kanan had actually formed a school idol group with Mari and Dia two years ago, having convinced the former to join. However, Mari had suffered an injury right before their performance, so she and Dia decided to step down and not perform. After Mari travels to study abroad, she becomes more distant to her peers. It is until Mari learns the truth when Kanan reconciles with her old friend, and decides to become a school idol once again.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Breezily mature, Kanan rarely sweats the details and usually maintains a calm, cool and even stoic demeanor. Though she may seem a bit bland at first, she loves sports and nature, claiming that she is happy every day just by being able to see the dazzling sun, the blue skies and the sea. She isn't as talkative as her fellow third years, speaking the least of them in the anime, but is nevertheless friendly and laid-back.<br />
<br />
Kanan is a very kind, warm-hearted and altruistic individual. She deeply cares for her friends, being very supportive and often putting their needs above her own, going to great lengths to ensure they get what she thinks is best for them. However, due to this, Kanan can fail to realize the others' feelings the same way she does, and she will go to the same lengths to hide the truth if it will hurt the person. This particularly caused her friend, Mari, to accept the chance of studying abroad when in reality she didn't want to, as Mari was content with being with her friends.<br />
<br />
After Mari goes to study abroad, this causes Kanan to live with the weight of her lie, acting much more distant and aloof to Mari when she returns a year and a half later to Uranohoshi. When Mari learns the truth in Season 1 Episode 9, confronting Kanan and expressing how much she cares for her, Kanan finally reconciles with her old friend, stops being distant, and becomes friendly once again.<br />
<br />
Due to the fact the second years are considered "the heart" of Aqours, Kanan has some difficulty relating to the first years, which is shared with Mari; this is due to her preference for the outdoors and for sports. Season 2 Episode 2 explores this, and after a rainy evening forces the girls to stay indoors, the first and third years are able to relate to the others, with Kanan seemingly relating to Hanamaru Kunikida the most.<br />
<br />
While athletic, mature and composed, Kanan has a sweet and soft personality. She is also afraid of strange, creaking sounds as seen in Season 2 Episode 2, and afraid of heights as seen in Season 2 Episode 8. She also likes hugs ever since her childhood, and will often hug her friends if given the opportunity, usually declaring her catchphrase "Hagu shiyo" (ハグしよ "Let's hug") before so.<br />
<br />
Although Kanan is intelligent and level-headed, she doesn't get very good grades. This is due to her poor attendance at school due to the fact she must help her family with work; with that said, it's also seen she doesn't like reading and easily gets tired of it.<br />

'''Ruby Kurosawa''' is a main character in ''[[Love Live! Sunshine!!]]''. She is a second-year student at [[Numazu High School]]. She is a member of [[CYaRon!]] and [[YYY]], two sub-units under [[Aqours]]. She is also a member of the special sub-unit [[AiScReam]]. Her image color is pink.<ref>https://odex-anime.myshopify.com/products/lovelive-series-9th-anniversary-love-live-fest-love-live-blade-fest-ver-ラブライブレード</ref><br />
<br />
She was a first-year student at both [[Uranohoshi Girls' High School]] prior to its closure and [[Seishin High School]] (albeit temporarily) before fully integrated into Numazu High.<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
Ruby is a first year student who is the younger sister of [[Dia Kurosawa]], who she shares a strong bond with. She is from an old family involved in fishing management whose name is well-known around the area. The Kurosawa family also owns a number of companies including real estate, entertainment, human resources and restaurant management.<ref>LL!SS!! Season 1 Volume 7 Blu-Ray - School idol diary Chapter Aqours's Summer Splash</ref> Ruby is almost always nearby her best friend, [[Hanamaru Kunikida]].<br />
<br />
In the anime, in [[I Want to Shine!!|the first episode]], Ruby is shown to display a big interest in school idols. [[Two Girls' Feelings|Season 1 Episode 4]] shows that she used to be a fan of school idols, sharing this hobby with Dia, although something caused her older sister to seemingly lose that interest, which is revealed in [[Let's Make a PV|Season 1 Episodes 6]], [[Isn't it Frustrating|8]] and [[Young DREAMER|9]] to be Dia's failure as a school idol. Ruby's love for school idols remained intact, but the event made her secretly keep it away from her sister. She later joins Aqours in Season 1 Episode 4, after counting with her sister's support.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Ruby is very shy and timid, which makes it hard for her to get along with other people. She has a tendency to utter or scream "Pigii!!!" when she doesn't like something; in the event she screams, [[:File:LLSS_S1Ep1_101.png|her face will turn red as she does so]]. She has never talked to any males besides her father before, so she has always been bad at dealing with the male gender. Although she is fearful and easily upset, she does has a tough interior forged by her role as the daughter of a rich, well-known family.<br />
<br />
Ruby is very close to her friend, Hanamaru. She also meets [[Leah Kazuno]] in [[TOKYO]], who she also becomes very close with.<br />
<br />
From a different perspective, Ruby is adaptable and mostly admired by her friends, and they support her no matter what; despite the fact the Second Years are considered "the heart" of Aqours, Ruby does not have difficulty getting along with the rest of the group unlike her fellow First Years' or the Third Years', as seen in [[The Sound of Rain|Season 2 Episode 2]]. Her catchphrase is {{Nihongo|"Ganbarubii!"|がんばルビィ！|lit. "Rubesty"}}, a portmanteau between {{Nihongo|"ganbaru"|頑張る|try with full effort}} and her own name; she uses this phrase to encourage herself or others to do their very best. Ruby also speaks in the third person from time to time, just like Hanamaru. However, she tends to use "watashi" as a first-person pronoun.<br />
<br />
Due to the strong bond she shares with her sister Dia, Ruby will immediately display her tough interior and defend her sister when a negative point of her is brought up, as seen in [[HAKODATE|Season 2 Episode 8]]. Ruby is also shown to have a playful and mischievous side of her when she teases [[Yoshiko Tsushima]]'s Fallen Angel behavior and her embarrassing moments (alongside Hanamaru), which annoys Yoshiko all the time. She also despises spicy food, as seen in [[We've Got Stewshine|Season 1 Episode 10]], when she eats a takoyaki filled with tabasco sauce instead of octopus sauce.<br />
<br />
==Clubs and Hobbies==<br />
Her hobbies are needlework and fashion. Her talent is in coordinating outfits, which makes her, alongside [[You Watanabe]], Aqours' wardrobe supervisor. Like her sister Dia, she displays an admiration for other idols, despite coming from a traditional family.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Ruby is short with a slim figure and semi-long red hair which she ties into twintails and turquoise eyes.<br />

'''Hanamaru Kunikida''' is a main character in ''[[Love Live! Sunshine!!]]''. She is a second-year student at [[Numazu High School]]. She is a member of [[AZALEA]], a sub-unit under [[Aqours]]. Her image color is yellow.<br />
<br />
She was a first-year student at both [[Uranohoshi Girls' High School]] prior to its closure and [[Seishin High School]] (albeit temporarily) before fully integrated into Numazu High.<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
Hanamaru, known as "Maru" for short (by herself and her friends), is a first year student and the daughter of a family who has run a nearby temple for generations. She lives with her grandparents, and since she does not have a computer, she often reads a lot. Hanamaru is [[Ruby Kurosawa]]'s best friend, and both are often seen near the other. She also attended the same kindergarten as [[Yoshiko Tsushima]], also one of her friends.<br />
<br />
Hanamaru has a distinctive verbal tic and dialect, tending to end her sentences with {{Nihongo|"zura"|ずら}}, as well as using "ora" as a first-person pronoun to refer to herself.<br />
<br />
In the anime, in [[I Want to Shine!!|the first episode]], Hanamaru and Ruby are quickly approached by [[Chika Takami]], who invites them to be school idols. Confused, Hanamaru quickly dismisses the invitation. It is later revealed in [[Two Girls' Feelings|Season 1 Episode 4]] that Hanamaru actually was interested in school idols, especially after seeing a picture of [[Rin Hoshizora]] from [[Muse|µ's]], but couldn't bring herself to being a school idol herself because of her appearance and lack of physical condition. She talks Ruby's sister, [[Dia Kurosawa]], into paying attention to what her sister actually wants, which was being a school idol. After Ruby joins Aqours, she tells Hanamaru about the story of Rin and µ's, and Hanamaru finally decides to join Aqours, supporting Ruby in her endeavor.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Hanamaru is a hardworking girl who diligently works at her family's temple. She spends a lot of time reading alone and is easily distracted by books. Since she was raised as a temple girl, Hanamaru does not watch television much, nor does she use the internet, making her outdated. Because of this, she is fascinated with modern technology, yelling her catchphrase {{Nihongo|"Mirai zura!"|未来ずら|"It's the future, zura!"}} when she sees something advanced such as a computer. She was often teased due to this, but was usually defended by her best friend Ruby; however, the first time it happened, Ruby ended up crying, causing Hanamaru to comfort her instead.<br />
<br />
Hanamaru seems to be quite self-depreciating, calling herself a "chibi procrastinator" and "neither cute nor interesting". She aspires to be like Ruby, whom she sees as "beautiful, cute and dazzling". She is also gentle and caring for those around her. Despite her appearance, Hanamaru is also smart and not easily fooled.<br />
<br />
Due to the fact the Second Years are considered "the heart" of Aqours, Hanamaru has some difficulty relating to the Third Years, which is shared with Yoshiko; this is due to her preference for the indoors and for calmer activities. Season 2 Episode 2 explores this, and after a rainy evening forces the girls to stay indoors, the First and Third Years are able to relate to the others, with Hanamaru seemingly relating to [[Kanan Matsuura]] the most.<br />
<br />
Hanamaru is shown to have a playful and mischievous side; this is especially present when she teases Yoshiko's Fallen Angel behavior and her embarrassing moments (often alongside Ruby), which annoys Yoshiko all the time. She has a surprisingly large appetite, able to eat a food helping quickly and often asking for another one immediately after, and is usually seen eating sweets in the background, the most common of them being a roll of noppo bread.<br />
<br />
In Season 1 Episode 4, Hanamaru stated that since she was little, she was a quiet girl who played off to the side.<br />
<br />
==Clubs and Hobbies==<br />
She is a gifted singer, earning her a spot in a choir. She loves reading and has a deep fondness for Japanese literature, often spending most of her time in the school library, which she helps out at. Her ambition is to become a writer some day.<ref>Maru's 4-koma Drop 1, Dengeki G's Magazine October 2015 issue</ref><br />

== Appearance ==<br />

== Other Data ==<br />
<br />
==Chronology==<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Hanamaru fulfills the smile attribute of the Aqours first years.<br />
*The name '''Hanamaru''' means "flower, blossom" (花) ('''hana''') and "round, circle, pills, purity, suffix for ship names, complete" (丸) ('''maru'''), in which her character symbol consists of a spiral and a flower.<br />
* Hanamaru's surname '''Kunikida''' means "country" (国) ('''kuni'''), "tree, wood" (木) ('''ki''') and "field, rice paddy" (田) ('''ta'''/'''da'''). <br />
*Unlike the rest of Aqours, Hanamaru wears a yellow cardigan in her winter uniform, similar to [[Nico Yazawa]] wearing her pink cardigan as part of her summer uniform in the original [[Love Live!]].<br />
*Hanamaru is the fictional artist of ''Maru's 4-koma'', a 4-frame comic strip detailing Aqours's activities that started serialization in Dengeki G's Magazine October 2015.<br />
*In real life, Hanamaru's home is based on [https://goo.gl/maps/6ygwXbJRJxo Raikoji Temple].<br />
*Unlike the other girls, Yoshiko calls Hanamaru {{Nihongo|"Zuramaru"|ずら丸}}, as a reference to the latter's verbal tic.<br />
**This is also done by [[Ai Miyashita]] in [[Love Live! School Idol Festival ALL STARS]].<br />
*Hanamaru is the shortest of the Aqours characters at 152 cm (or 5'0"), which is ironic since her seiyuu is the tallest of the Aqours seiyuus.<br />
