Title： START:DASH!! Lyrics： Hata Aki Composer： Sasaki Hiroshi Arrangement： Sasaki Hiroshi Singers： μ's
I say
Hey, hey, hey START:DASH!!
Ubuge no kotoritachi mo
Even newborn baby birds
Itsuka sora ni habataku
Will someday soar through the sky
Ookina tsuyoi tsubasa de tobu
They'll fly with great, strong wings
Akiramecha dame nanda
Don't ever give up
Sono hi ga zettai kuru
That day will definitely come
Kimi mo kanjiteru yo ne
You can feel it too, can't you?
Hajimari no kodou
The beats of the beginning
Ashita yo kaware!
O Tomorrow, change!
Kibou ni kaware!
Transform into hope!
Mabushii hikari ni terasarete kaware
Transform, illuminated by that brilliant light
START!!
Kanashimi ni tozasarete
Being closed in by sorrow
Naku dake no kimi janai
And just crying -- That isn't you
Atsui mune kitto mirai o kirihiraku hazu sa
With your blazing heart, you can definitely clear the way to the future
Kanashimi ni tozasarete
Being closed in by sorrow
Naku dake ja tsumaranai
And just crying is boring
Kitto (kitto) kimi no (yume no)
I'm sure (I'm sure) Your (dream's)
Chikara (ima o) ugokasu chikara
Power (right now) Can set things in motion
Shinjiteru yo... dakara START!!
I believe in you, so START!!
Hey, hey, hey START:DASH!!
Ameagari no kibun de
The mood after the rain
Takamaru kitai no naka
Amidst growing expectations
Tsumazuita koto sae mo
Even the times when we stumbled
Omoide ni shiyou
Let them become memories
Ashita ga saku yo!
Tomorrow will blossom!
Kibou ga saku yo!
Hope will blossom!
Tanoshii Merodii kuchizusami saita
A fun, hummed melody blossomed
DASH!!
Yorokobi o uketomete
Grasp the happiness and
Kimi to boku tsunagarou
Let's form a connection between us
Mayoi michi yatto soto e nukedashita hazu sa
We've finally broken through and found our way
Yorokobi o uketomete
Grasp the happiness and
Kimi to boku susumu darou
You and I will push on forward
Sore wa (sore wa) tooi (yume no)
Those are (those are) a distant (dream's)
Kakera (dakedo) itoshii kakera
Fragments (but they're) precious fragments
Kanata e to... boku wa DASH!!
Towards beyond the border... I'll DASH!!
Mata hitotsu yume ga umare...
And again, a dream is born...
Kanashimi ni tozasarete
Being closed in by sorrow
Naku dake no kimi janai
And just crying -- That isn't you
Atsui mune kitto mirai o kirihiraku hazu sa
With your blazing heart, you can definitely clear the way to the future
Yorokobi o uketomete
Grasp the happiness and
Kimi to boku tsunagarou
Let's form a connection between us
Mayoi michi yatto soto e nukedashita hazu sa
We've finally broken through and found our way

Grasp the happiness and
Kimi to boku susumu darou
You and I will push on forward

Fragments (but they're) precious fragments
Kanata e to... boku wa DASH!!
Towards beyond the border... I'll DASH!!
Hey, hey, hey START:DASH!!
Thank you very much for the encore!
At last
We got to sing "START:DASH!!" with all nine of us!
You know, the project started about three years ago
And then the Anime started
That's something I couldn't have imagined at the start
She can't take it
Towel, towel
Three years ago, and then the Anime started
At that time, Love Live! was just...
Nico-chan
Nico-chan, knock it off
Even the big-sister figure has times when she needs to cry
There're those moments
I'm speechless
Thank you very much
But, really, to have all nine of us sing this song
When Love Live! first went on sale at Comiket
I still remember clearly, taking a photo in front of the empty booth
I remember my family buying 10 CDs to support me
My agency sent me tons of First-Press Limited-Edition CDs so I had a lot at home.
But now, it's the point where every shop is out of stock
Having so many people buy our CDs and watch the Anime, and be here with us today
Makes me really happy
Thank you very much
This live is called "μ's 3rd Anniversary LoveLive!"
This year, μ's managed to welcome the end of its third year
Thank you very much
We did it!
Three years ago, I didn't think we would ever see so many Love Livers
Thank you to everyone here today
After all, everyone here, and everyone at the live-viewings are all Love Livers, right?
So happy
Starting from January earlier this year, our wishes came true
The TV Anime was broadcast
A lot of people watched it
Thank you
From the start, we wanted an Anime, and worked hard with it as our goal
We released a lot of CDs, having our dreams come true is really all thanks to everyone's help
Thank you all very much
Thank you
And so, the Anime got broadcast without a hitch
Right now, we're working on Love Live!'s Next Project
Who here knows about it?
Thank you
The Next Project started right after the Anime finished broadcasting
The first part is, we'll be releasing our 6th single!
Part two is?
Part two is...
New sub-unit singles will be released month by month
First up is lily white
Members of lily white
Here~
It's quite soon
Yes, lily white's single will be on sale this month
And next
BiBi
Thank you, thank you
And last is
Printemps
Wait, who are you
Pile
That's right
Pile-chan
They'll definitely be great songs, so please look forward to them!
But, but
The truth is, today, we'll be bringing you more news about the Next Project
So, please look at the screen!
Thank you very much
And so, there's lots more Love Live! to come this year
PS VITA game to be released in Spring 2014!
And then, on February 8 & 9, 2014
Saitama Super Arena!
And then lastly, really, all thanks to everyone
Spring 2014, Love Live! TV Anime Season 2 will air!
As expected of the club president, she really has it together
The idol club I created, at the start, there really were very few Love Livers
Like what I already mentioned about the Comiket First-Press CDs
I still remember it even now
But now, there are so many things lined up for us
I am really happy
This is all thanks to everyone
Thank you very much
I think we're getting more emotional as we talk
Should we just make our closing speeches?
Thank you Thank you
Then to end off
Let's take turns to give our reflections
First is Umi-chan, please
I'm Mimori Suzuko, the voice actress for Sonoda Umi
Did everyone enjoy themselves?
Thank you very much
When I realized it, it had already been three years
Today, before we made our appearance, some of us already couldn't hold the tears back
These three years have really built a strong bond between the nine of us
And also between us and all Love Livers, our bond has become something very strong
Thank you very much
This time, too
The practices for the live this time too
Just like before, I didn't manage to take part in a lot of them
I really caused the other members a lot of trouble
But they always understand and cover for me
Being with such understanding members makes me feel really blessed
And I hope Love Live! gets bigger and bigger
And everyone's love for Love Live! gets stronger
I don't know where we'll end up
Next up is Saitama Super Arena!
Everyone, please continue supporting us
I'll do my best from here on out too, thank you very much
I'm Iida Riho, the voice actress for Hoshizora Rin
Thank you very much for today, everyone
So happy
Seeing so many yellow, and turquoise blue
Everyone really understands, as expected of Love Livers!
Thank you all very much
What made me tear up was
When we started "START:DASH!!", we had our backs facing the audience
The animation went, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Everyone said 10
That moment brought tears to my eyes
It's everyone's fault I teared up, so you all better make it up to me
This time, the live took place after the Anime ended
We sang a lot of songs from the Anime but
What made me happier than anything else was
As expected, that
Being able to perform with all nine of us, made me really happy
It's really great
As expected, it has to be like this, everyone feels so too, right?
So happy
I'm so overly touched
I can only say "Ya"
Having this recorded onto the concert DVD is embarrassing
Next time, we'll be at a larger venue, at Saitama Super Arena
So until then, I hope both Love Live! and Love Livers can power up
And welcome February 8 & 9 together
And please look forward to the Anime too, please support us from here on out as well
Thank you very much
I'm Pile, the voice actress for Nishikino Maki. Thank you very much for today
Everyone said a lot
I don't quite know what to say
Everyone definitely thought I wouldn't cry, right
It's only human to cry
She must be caught up in the mood
Before the Anime, we started with releasing CDs
At the 1st Live
Where was it, Yokohama BLITZ?
We were all worried, thinking "what if there is no one when we turn around at the start". But in the end, there were so many people
And then, next was the New Year Live
Where was that?
There, there, yes, there
TOKYO DOME CITY HALL
And then, today in Yokohama National Hall
And we're also being broadcast to live-viewings across the nation, I'm really happy
And for my very first Anime, Love Live!, to receive a second season
I feel really happy
And this isn't the end, next up is Saitama Super Arena!
Being able to be with such great members and staff, and also all the Love Livers
I feel really blessed
Please support us from here onwards
I'm Pile
Clever and cute?
Elichika!
Khorosho!
I had a good closing speech prepared
But I didn't think I would cry so hard
Thank you
I'm alright, the tears aren't gushing out
During our rehearsals
This time we were singing solo songs
Ah, in the first place, I haven't taken part in any μ's lives for almost a year and four months
Audience: Welcome back!
Pretty
The New Year Live was because my schedule couldn't make it
Just like everyone, who's watching, can tell that there's a lot of singing and dancing
We've been practicing almost every day
Though I really wanted to take part in the New Year Live
But I was never good at dancing
I thought that I would give everyone a lot of trouble
So I didn't take part
But on January 3 when the Live started, it was always on my mind
I kept refreshing Twitter
Seeing everyone's impressions
Having Eli's voice inserted at the parts she was supposed to sing
It's almost as if Eli has gone onto a better place
Being allowed to participate even like that, I felt very grateful and happy
I thought that if there was another chance, I definitely have to perform with everyone
That's why, because I didn't appear last time
There were some dances everyone, except me, knew
So I had some individual training
But as expected, because everyone is practicing so hard, even if they have other work
So I decided that I definitely couldn't drag everyone down, and put in a lot of effort
But everyone, just like Umi-chan or Mimorin said,
Really understood and guided us patiently
Really, when the Project started, I never thought that it would get to this point
Ever since the Anime started, the time spent with the other members increased
Everyone's gotten steadily closer
The Anime, too, is made with so much love by the staff
The Anime... It feels like I'm talking a lot, sorry about that
Usually in Anime production, if, for example, there was a new voice actor/actress who is still not used to voicing characters
He or she would stay behind alone, after everyone else has left, to finish voicing the lines
But for Love Live!, everyone wanted to record as all nine of us
So at the start, we often recorded past midnight, every part was done in detail
I thought that this was an amazing work place
I could really feel the deep love the staff held for the production
We've also been voicing these characters for so many years, so we cherish them a lot
Everyone was putting in their all, so even if I didn't have much lines near the end, I would stay to accompany everyone
But for the latter part of the Anime, everyone always managed to finish recording smoothly before midnight
Everyone was increasingly in sync with their character
After that, we heard about this concert
I decided that I had to take part with everyone this time around
This news came while the Anime was still airing
And I was just voicing this character Eli, well, that makes me part of the team
In the Anime, aren't there always people holding cyalumes to support μ's
The colors of the cyalumes then-- Well, though I'm really happy it's all sky-blue right now, thank you
But for a μ's appearance, it's always nine colors
The Anime's nine-person performance of "START:DASH!!" too
The venue was amazingly filled with all nine colors
When I saw that scene, I remembered everyone
Scenes of the past lives I took part in, memories of everyone's cyalumes flashed before my eyes
Though in the Anime it was just the characters dancing
It felt as though it was me on that stage
At some point, without realizing, I've become one with my character
That's what I personally think
What's next is an even bigger stage
The Anime is also getting a second season!
Of course, everyone will support us, right?
We'll do our best, so please continue supporting us
I'm Nanjou Yoshino, the voice actress for Ayase Eli
It got really long, sorry
I'm Kusuda Aina, the voice actress for Toujou Nozomi
A lot of people came today
I always think about this but
At the beginning, I was really helpless and lost, and very nervous during recordings
When we began to release CDs
There must have been a lot of people thinking, "Who is this person?"
But, all the Love Livers are really kind
These three years, a lot of people have encouraged me
I feel like I've been maturing together with Nozomi
To be frank, it's my first time playing a main role in an anime
There were a lot of difficult times
And a lot of troubles too
But, with the members of μ's, the director, everyone in the staff, and all the Love Livers supporting me
I made it here today
My heart is filled with gratitude
Really, thank you all very much
Love Live! will continue from here on out
Our game will go on sale
[Saitama]
Live, live
Our solo concert at Saitama Super Arena
Last year
We were invited to participate in Animelo Summer Live at the same place, and we had the stage to just the nine of us
When I think about that, it's really
It makes my legs feel wobbly
I know that feeling
Also, what's most important is, Season 2 of the Anime will begin in Spring
Nozomi and I will both continue maturing
Please continue supporting us from here on out
Thank you very much for today
I'm Kusuda Aina, the voice actress for Toujou Nozomi
Okay, uhm, everyone, uhm
I'm Uchida Aya, the voice actress for Minami Kotori
It's been hard on everyone at the live-viewings too, wherever you're watching from
Really, right now, I really don't know what I should say
This time, the venue has a capacity of 5000 people
Balloting? We received a huge, huge amount of ballot entries for the tickets
Really, it's been surprising since the start
But, even a lot of people who has been supporting us since the start
Sent us a lot of feedback that they didn't manage to get any tickets
To tell the truth, it's really all the people giving Love Live! their support
I started receiving so much support because of Love Live!
With the combined help of everyone's individual support
We were able to see a scene as wondrous as this
Thank you
Speaking of which, we really put in a lot of effort, trying again and again
All in order to show everyone a wonderful performance
It's thanks to everyone's dedication that we pulled off this concert
The people we want to perform for... Even though there are a lot of people who wanted to see this
Yet we are unable to let them all watch this, it feels disappointing, and perhaps a bit regretful
Why is it that even though so many people want to watch this, yet they can't
It really feels regretful
But then it was decided that there would be live-viewings, and that made me really happy
Because we managed to convey to the people who wanted to watch us, that we wanted them to watch us too
I wonder if we've managed to convey our feelings to people across the screen
Next up is Saitama Super Arena
Last time, we only sang one song at Animelo Summer Live before disappearing
Though we've already had the chance to perform there
This time, we get to put on a solo concert
It's really thanks to everyone who wanted to watch our concert today
That we can make another appearance on stage
How to put it
Love Live! is really reliant on everyone's strength
Of course it includes us but
It's something we make step by step, bit by bit with everyone's help
We also have different memories
Everyone's support is also very warm
That's why I feel like I have to work harder, I want to show even more interesting things to everyone next time
I want more people to want to see us
That's why today... Actually, I don't know what I'm saying anymore
Today, standing at our 3rd Live
I felt a lot of uneasiness
But with everyone's support between the nine of us
Actually, I'm really bad at these speeches
But it's been really fun
Uhm...
The next season of Anime has been announced too
The story of those nine girls will continue on so
Really, so as to not let everyone feel bored of this
To make everyone crave more
Here's more next, and more, and more...
Though it feels like the hurdles are getting higher but
We'll work hard to put on a performance that won't let anyone down so
Please look forward to our next concert too
The end!
Then, I'll say it one last time
Somebody save me!~
Wait a minute!~
When I think about it, it's weird isn't it
What does that even mean
That's true
Am I fine? Not being kidnapped?
You only noticed now?
You're alright
Sorry~
I'm Kubo Yurika, the voice actress for Koizumi Hanayo
Thank you, thank you
Sorry for being the only person applauding
The truth is, it feels like everything there is to say has already been said
Yes, they've all been said
"Ah, that's been said. Ah, that's been said too."
But that's not surprising, everyone's having the same thoughts
That's not counted as repeats
Everyone really practiced hard together
And did what each of them could do to get here today
That's why we all have the same memories
The Anime, the Anime was aired this year
Everyone was really happy
Up until now, that is, until the Anime was aired
We only had songs, and our CDs
And occasionally we would hold a live
Love Live! finally...
Became a work that was seen and acknowledged by a lot of people
I thought to myself, this is the happiest moment in my life
Definitely, there must be people who haven't been to our lives before
Who are here after watching the Anime
Or playing SIF, there must be a lot of people who came to know about us through the game
There are so many ways to get into Love Live!
After learning about Love Live!, everyone really loves it
That's the kind of product Love Live! is
So, this time, everyone might have noticed already, since they play the PVs up there
Our set-list is basically based on the Anime
Even during practice, everyone would individually...
Think of themselves as playing the character within the animation, because they're that character
And think up things like poses
Somehow, more than the past
Each of us has come to love our characters more, or think about them more
And want the characters we play to receive more attention and love from everyone
I think this concert was possible because of that
Although we're the ones performing during the lives
But this live is still based off of the characters we play
So, to everyone who loves our characters, I am very grateful
So, of course, I'll do my best at the next live
We'll put our hearts into the Anime next year too
We'll do our best in order to reach out to everyone with our characters and Love Live!
From here onwards, please continue to lend us your strength
Please support us
Thank you very much!
I'm Kubo Yurika
Does my face look okay?
Wait a moment~
Yes, okay
I'm Tokui Sora, the voice actress for Yazawa Nico
Thank you very much
Really, no matter whether it's the second or third floor, I can see you all clearly
Thank you
And today is broadcast at 51 locations nationwide, that's a lot of places
Like in my hometown Chiba Prefecture, there's Soga, Lalaport and Funabashi etc.
All holding live-viewings
It makes me really happy
Hmm, yes, all the important stuff has already been said by everyone but
For the sake of this live, everyone put in their all into practice
During the process, I was really touched by the warmth, support and kindness from all the members
After going through all these things together, such as the Anime or our concerts
I really feel the bond between us nine has gotten deeper
And, the people who brought us here, are increasing in number
Next year too, there's a lot of things waiting in store for us
I can only hope that everyone will continue to support us
And wish that there would be a lot more Love Livers
Please recommend us to your friends
Such as inviting them to our lives
Or invite them to watch the Anime together
It would be really great if everyone could do that
Just like Shika-chan said earlier
This live is the important 3rd anniversary live of the nine girls including Nico
For their sake, we have to put in our all into acting as them
Before our appearance, I was trying my best to understand Nico's feelings
Thinking to myself "I'm cute, I'm cute"
She said it, she actually said it earlier
Thinking "Before such a huge live, what would Nico do?"
She definitely would keep telling herself "I'm cute, I'm cute"
So that's what I did
Thank you
From here onwards, please continue loving those nine girls
Please support us
Did everyone smile lots today?
To end off, I would like to do a Nico-nico-nii with everyone
1, 2 ~
Nico-nico-nii~
Thank you very much
I'm Nitta Emi, the voice actress for Kousaka Honoka
Thank you very much for today
It's been three years since Love Live! started
Honoka was my debut role
These three years, Love Live! has been with me every step of the way
At the beginning, it really was like what everyone said, being helpless and lost
I really thought, that maybe no one would pay any attention to us
But right now, we're surrounded by love from so many people
Somehow
I really feel like this is the highest peak of my life
That's not true
At Yokohama BLITZ (1st Live) too, and when our Anime was aired too
I was really, really happy
Now too, seeing so many people supporting μ's
Being supported by all these capable members
And there're a lot of people supporting us at the live-viewings too
Being surrounded by all these passionate staff
I feel so blessed, it's almost like a dream
You know
Sorry, it seems like I can't really gather my thoughts
Thank you
Faito da yo ~
Honoka, do your best
I'm okay, I'm not crying
Kotori, that's way too exaggerated
Faito da yo
1, 2 ~
Faito da yo!
Thank you
Yes, as I was saying
My encounters with μ's, Love Live!, Honoka, and everyone here
These are the greatest treasures of my life, thank you all very much!
Our 2 day concert at Saitama Super Arena, as well as Season 2 of the Anime
Really...
I don't dare to believe it, all my dreams are coming true
I feel really blessed
Everyone, please continue supporting Love Live!
Thank you very much
I'll go put the towel away
With that, all our closing speeches are over
And we've made a lot of announcements too
Though we want to continue being hyped with everyone
That has to be left for next time
That's right
Who had fun today?
That's good, we worked very hard just to hear that
Thank you very much
Thanks to everyone
From here onwards too, we'll begin chasing a new dream
Our season of youth with everyone is far from ending
Lastly, we would like to sing along with everyone
Thank you very much for today
Thank you very much
Ah! ~
What is it?
We forgot something very important
People at the live-viewings, do it properly too ~
Are you ready?
And so, everyone together
μ's music......
Start!
