posted on by Egan Loo
The AnimeJapan 2025 stage event for the Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club (Love Live! Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Dōkōkai) franchise announced that the second film in the Love Live! Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Dōkōkai Kanketsu-hen finale trilogy will open in Japan on November 7. The event also teased that six girls — Karin, Ai, Setsuna, Rina, Shioriko, and Mia — will go on a trip to the cities of Kyoto, Osaka, and Kobe in Japan's Kansai region.
Starting on April 1, various all-you-can-stream services in Japan will offer the first film. The advance MoviTicke Cards for the second film will go on sale online on Sunday at 4:10 p.m. (3:10 a.m. EDT).
Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club TOKIMEKI Roadmap to Future, the April 24 visual novel for Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, will have a theme song album titled Eternalize Love that will go on sale on May 14.
The film trilogy is set after the two previous television seasons and the Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club Next Sky original video anime project. The main cast and main staff are returning for the trilogy.
The anime takes place after Isla returns to her home country. The club receives an invitation to the "School Idol GPX" contest. Contestants compete individually instead of by school, and compete through performances distributed via app. Six members from the club — Ayumu, Kasumi, Shizuku, Kanata, Emma, and Lanzhu — go to Okinawa to compete. While many of them experience new encounters, Ayumu, however, has complex feelings about competing against her fellow club members.
The first season of the main Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club anime premiered on the Tokyo MX channel as well as on the Bandai Channel, Line Live, and YouTube Live streaming services in October 2020. The second season premiered in April 2023. Crunchyroll streamed the anime as it aired in Japan, and later streamed an English dub.
Nijiyon Animation, the short television anime of Miyakohito's four-panel manga spinoff Nijiyon ~Love Live! Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Dōkōkai Yon-Koma, has a second season that debuted on April 5.
The franchise's staff introduced the members of Nijigasaki Academy's Idol Appreciation Club in 2017 as part of KLab Games and Bushiroad's Love Live! School Idol Festival smartphone game's "Perfect Dream Project" (PDP).
Update: Video added.
