The song is bop. Is it called nonfiction?

This was by far one of my favorite episodes so far, we finally got more Sumire focus and she actually got her own song finally, since the first song with her was more for Chisato, and it was fantastic. Definitely one of my favorite songs and performances in the show and I’m so glad Sumire got her time in the spotlight, and looked badass while doing it. Also glad to see her and Keke settle their differences, although I have always liked their cutthroat attitude towards each other lol.

Sumire looks lovely on that outfit. A well deserved center with the song fitting perfectly for her. Easily the best song of Liella so far.



LOL! The Love Live! host came back and haven't aged.

Hard to pick my best girl in Superstar, it always varies per episode.

Superstar is getting better each episode and each new episode is always better thann last episode (ehh.. it's seems something wrong with this but whatever)
Love the episode and Keke's Chinese is really a fanservice for me

Thats was beautiful. The plot, the drama, the music. I think this episode alone is better than the Love Live Sunshine Over the Rainbow movie lmao.

The yuri bait is strong on this one like Nijigasaki, which is awesome imo.

So basically, their power level are:



Sumire deserves to be their center.

Nice to see more Keke and Sumire interactions. The writers did a great job at developing their characters for this episode and their bond has grown stronger as a result. Sumire has failed many times throughout her life, but I feel the thing she fears most is failing those she cares about.

Keke would have to return home if she doesn't make it in LL. She might like making verbal jabs at Sumire, but when she supported her as center, nothing was going to change her mind. Not only that, but she took the time out of her day to make a costume for her so it would stand out when she was the center.

&++ I loved the performance! It has to be my favourite so far.

What a touching episode!

Uninterested by the 'drama' but I loved the song, even if there was very little rap in it.

I think it's better for Sumire to really withdraw, that's the reality, then she returns as center in season 2, amazing isn't it?. but i really don't cry

although overall I really like the music in this anime. I think it's like a mix of jazz and Orchestra, sorry I don't really know. However, the ending song feels more comfortable if each expert sings each one alone. whatever it is, I feel lucky to watch and it's pretty good so far.

I don't think I've cried with a LL! episode ever since the end of the first gen. This episode was simply beautiful. Superstar as a whole has made me fall in love all over again with the franchise, something neither Aqours nor the Nijigasaki girls could do (I loved You and Kanan in Sunshine, but I loved them as their individual characters).

Ren doing tanka when asked to rap is too precious, I love her so much.

OTOH... I felt cheated with the song. Don't get me wrong, it slaps hard. But it just wasn't rap. Shoudn't have raised any expectations after seeing the costume tho, so that's on me.

Seeing Sumire's effort was epic, you could tell she wanted to be the center, and I think it's the first time I've seen Keke so serious about making a decision.

nice Sumire episode.. she finally got her dream to become the center of the group. :)

also had a fun time watching when they were all trying to rap. Keke raps in chinese, Chisato dances it, Ren makes a haiku, and Kanon even had a cap with "K". lol

A nice episode that shows the ongoing development of relationship between Sumire and Keke.

But I have one question; what happened to the rapping? I thought that was the whole reason of making Sumire the center and they didn't even bother show her rapping during the performance.

For me the worst offender was Chisato not delivering the best rap performance, she busted some sick rhymes in an earlier episode!

Sumire is without a doubt the best girl. I loved the episode.

This is slowly becoming my favorite Love Live season, really lol. I loved seeing this more vulnerable side of Sumire, and also the whole conversation with Keke was so good, definitely one of my favorite Love Live episodes! I loved the song a lot too, can't wait for the full one! Not really a fan of the outfits tho lol

Finally Sumire focused episode and glad to see she got the spotlight she deserved. The rap song was great. Thou ofc nothing beats Saint Snow's songs. But still this was a great one. Sumire chan's so cute.

Man I never knew Tiara could be blown off by a gust of wind lol.

I'm just going to ignore some of the less-sensible part (like tiara flying bcs of wind, and the rap being half-rap and, tbh, sucks) and say:

Best episode so far! They really develop all the layers of struggle and depression they put on Sumire in this one episode, while establishing the Love Live! S1 standard end season "goodbye by travelling abroad" flag.

Although maybe, more importantly, the development on Keke is more important and more impressive. It might seem to be a convenient twist, but actually this is well in-line with the true essence of Keke's characters, that has been laid out over the season.
About how Keke alone is actually the one who truly wants to be an idol and nothing else,
while the rest grow to want to be an idol as a result of their true wishes.
She is alone, a foreigner in foreign country, after all.
Her name is still very weird, tho. They're definitely licking certain parties, here.

Do Da Da Follow, Yo! One of the best scene. Sumire as the center sure is refreshing.
I like their performance, not that explosive but its pretty decent.

And Ren turning Rap into Tanka is really hilarious, imagine that outfit and glasses while singing like that. Love it.

it’s never too late for life ... to go horribly wrong. . . afff~

Dang, that song in the end was so well done with that typical rap lyric on the start (if i am not mistaken my words here, but anyway). Love that bits, and Sumire just so damn beautiful on this episode. Finally, the Galaxy Queen got the center of the group, even though the plot was so dragging out and feels exaggerating. But, yeah, forget that LL drama story can always be that long xd. 2 more episodes before my binge is over, how can this good shit end so soon :(.

Great episode. Even with "rap" the ladies put in a feminine and captivating performance.

I've been dragging out watching this as it's so good.

Is good to see Sumire finally, getting the center scene. Ren, turning rap in tanka is funny.

Girl has insecurities, but she got through it in the end. The performance is nice, but there wasn't much of a rap.

So the theme was rap and they ended up performing something that wasn't rap and wearing something never associated with rap.
