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

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