Hi! I'm Eumber and here's my drumroll Idol Story! I was an love live fan for as long as I can remember. I also vividly remember being made fun of a lot by my fellow weebs in middle school for liking that "Dumb Kids Show" so from then on I kept my idol interests more of a secret. (Though I still played the game and the music always calmed me when I was upset or panicking)

Then after a lot of struggling at my old school I ended up transferring to a new school and a new class. I ended up playing sif on the first day and one of the girls in the class came up to me and recognized the muse girls as girls from an anime she watched a while back! We ended up hanging out more and more, watching the whole series together (both muse and aqours), watched lives together with our nesoberis, and now we cosplay together! She's my best friend now and we both will talk about "That dumb kids show" constantly.

I learned from my idol journey to not be ashamed (or as ashamed) of my dorky interests and to disregard anyone who says otherwise ^^

hey there! I'm Vivid, local fanartist and fashion designer. you might've seen me around Sukutomo, if you use that. I'll only be posting art and memes as I'm a filthy casual and don't play either of the mobage. just here for the girls and the outfits, folks.

my best girls for Aqours are Yohane, Mari, and Hanamaru (with Ruby as a close fourth); for Muse, Nozomi, Maki, and Rin; and for PDP, Ai, Setsuna, and Kasumin.

I don't have much recent art to share so it'll have to be this commission from 2018, gomen! (more in the comments)

hiya!!! my name is peppy ;v; ive been into love live since september 2014 and ive loved it ever since!! i instantly loved hanayo and ruby ever since i first saw them, and they're still my favorites now ;o; !! i can't wait for the english release of this game!! i hope everyone is well hehe

Hi i'm Mashirosawa! My best girls are Ruby, Kanan, You from Aqours, Maki, Eli, Umi from u's, and AZUNA members from PDP/Nijigasaki. I'm more Aqours fans but I love all about love live 💞

Um? "What does Love Live! mean to you?" You ask? They are love of my life and my moodbooster when i'm feel down from reality of life (school stuffs) especially when it has to do with my number 1 best girl, Ruby, she's such a baby and the one who make me still stuck in Love Live fandom, i love her more than anything and i'd love to know more about her and collect her cards in the game, her "ganbaruby!" Are my motivation to move forward and never give up on anything 😭💞 so yeah Love Live! Means so much for me ❤

"When did you join the fandom?" Um i think it's 3 years ago, i started to know more Love Live from playing their En server SIF, tbh i knew Love Live from 4 or 6 years ago but never gotten interested to know more about it 😂 I was looking for good game atm and found SIF but yeah atm too my phone was old so i waited till i changed my phone (3 years ago) downloaded it and starting to know more about Love Live! My first "Love in the first sight" character was Riko (Lmao she's like 5th now in my best girl ranking 😂) but then after i enjoyed the game i started to see the anime, LoveLive! Sunshine! (and yeah accidentally aqours series first i watched lmao so that's why i'm more aqours fans) and then i fell in love with Ruby till now! After that, i watched u's series one and i love them too and Maki is my first best u's girl from that time untill now!

"What got you hooked?" Um you mean still stays in the fandom untill now? Cause of my best girls ofc i'm staying for them ^^ also i'm still waiting for more songs from aqours and PDP (and hopefully new one from u's but i'm not sure if they will have one but i'm pretty sure they will since they announced will have a new single(?)) And also their game too! Sif and All stars are amazing game and i'm rooting them and still, collecting best girls cards are my missions! ^^ hopefully LoveLive! Will still stay in my heart for the rest of my life!

Yo! I'm Prince/Alex, they/them, and currently in my 20s. I'm a bit of an artist and I guess y'all can look at an indefinite? hiatus painting of Maki I was working on,

Haha, my story? My friend was into Love Live, and we were skyping (ancient) one day in 2015, and he brought up the girls. I took one look at them all and was immediately drawn to Maki. My words exactly were "she looks like a tsundere. I love her". And after these years, those words still hold true! But winter of 2015 I started playing the mobile game and I was obsessed! I eventually went on to watching the anime and fell even more in love with the series. I remember crying so much during season 2 (Love Wing Bell episode, the one where they go to the beach ya know). My top three faves for muse ended up being Maki, Rin and Eli, and I also ended up really shipping NozoMaki.

When the images were released of the Aqours girls I saw Dia and immediately called her as favourite girl (of course my top two girls have red as an image colour). My top three for Aqours is Dia, Yohane, and Ruby.

I'm still waiting to get to know the PDP girls better but right now my top three are Kanata, Karin and Ai.

My current quest is to get all Maki URs haha. I need her All Stars Magician UR, and all I'm missing on SIF is her Marbles UR and the limited School Unity.

Hello everybody !! I am Anant or you can call me An a in Idealitic_An, i am a guy 19 years old and tuck in idol hell since 4 years... So my story is kinda big so i will post it in parts....

Part -2

It was µ's final live which was being streamed on facebook by some lovelive page and i had watched snow halation live and then MC started( or something similar) i couldn't understand it so i skipped it. After a few days my poor soul got to know that it was the last time µ's performed as µ's. I missed it and couldn't forgive myself.

Now µ's was finally gone and Aqours had taken the spotlight....

Love live sunshine!! started to air i didnt watch the anime as i couldnt accept them. Once my summer break started and the season 1 was finished i thought i would give it a shot. I liked how the story turned out in the end about finding their own shine.... Things happened and i started to accept Aqours slowly but still my heart wasn't prepared for this... Also a point to note i didnt knew anything about love live communities and wasn't that active either... So i never knew how sub units and single centers were assigned, i understood them slowly.

Then the second season aired i had now completely accepted Aqours (but couldn't love them as µ's...) I really enjoyed the 2nd season, because i could reflect myself who would always loose. My practice tests for entrance exams weren't going good or to say the results were horrible. I was lost and seeing Aqours work hard made me do my best...(still my entrance exams didnt go as planned sobs in a corner well but i am happy now. )

I hadn't cried for any episode of Aqours as i stated i had only accepted them, but then the movie came and things turned out be different as i expected.

As i watched movie, my feelings became strong. I was happy yet sad. I didn't knew what this feeling was until the song next sparkling started... i recognized these feelings. These were much stronger than what i felt with µ's. After finishing the movie i cried a lot... It was the last time i saw Aqours in action all 9 together trying their best and facing their failures, always smiling bright...

That was when i realized i loved Aqours... to be honest thats the first time i felt that in my entire 19 year life and i dont find any shame saying my first love is Aqours...

So after realizing it i re-watched the entire sunshine series just to confirm it and it was true this time i was crying during a lot of episodes, was sad and happy both at the same time....

Aqours left a bright mark in my memories.... i can never forget them....

Wasurenai.... Wasurenai... Yume ga areba....

This was part 2 of my Wonderful Story with love live. Part 3 will contain my emotions and feelings and my dreams that i realized due to this wonderful series...

Hello everybody !! I am Anant or you can call me An a in Idealitic_An, i am a guy 19 years old and tuck in idol hell since 4 years... So my story is kinda big so i will post it in parts....

Part -1

It was back in 2014 that i first started watching pretty rhythm on animax asia. I liked that series and later during my breaks(maybe 2015 or 14 i dont remember excatly...lol...) i searched for rhythm games on play store and found love live school idol festival i downloaded it without hesitating and i played for a while and enjoyed it. I uninstalled it later that day as i couldnt follow the story or any of the girls... So one random day while watching videos on youtube i came across µ's live videos/ footage and got to know about the anime. So my journey started i finished the first season and my poor soul didnt knew there existed 2nd season and watched the movie before lol... and later came to know about 2nd season. The 11th episode of llsip made me cry like a baby and the last episode's last scene where honoka saw her past self made me cry again... but i understood about them breaking up and didnt cry at the end of movie...

I always had a complain why did they break they all loved singing there were other things besides entering and competing in love live they could have become pros rht?.... but i kinda get why they didnt follow that path... I really loved µ's then but what was going to happen now was like the storm of spring it turned my life upside down. It changed my perspective of life. By now i was in high school (in my country we refer it as junior college).

Now µ's was finally gone and Aqours had taken the spotlight.....

To be continued in Part-2.... Thank you for reading... and for avoiding typos lol XD.....

Hello everybody !! I am Anant or you can call me An as in Idealitic_An, i am a guy 19 years old and tuck in idol hell since 4 years... So my story is kinda big so i will post it in parts....

Part -3

This is the final part. It tells about me in detail and describes what love live really means to me... So please read it carefully...

As i had mentioned i came across love live during my high school (Junior College) i had no confidence in me, i was always bullied by my classmates due to my voice and my reserved behavior.

Seeing µ's made me realize that no matter what happens, whether people like you or not just continue in the crowd of 100s you will atleast find one shoulder to cry on.

Aqours taught me to face my regrets, my failures, and to enjoy my hardwork. I am right now in 2nd year studying in a university. In my part 2 i mentioned that i didnt perform well in my practice tests as well as final entrance exams. I was so doomed. The university that i wanted to enter... my dreams were shattered...I couldnt enjoy my surroundings. I was under depression. I liked singing and would sing a lot in my school but after coming in high school(junior college) i had given up on my dreams and left singing but after seeing Aqours struggle i started singing again.

I realized my dreams again. I have always wanted to create my own YouTube channel but due to lack of confidence in my voice and myself i havent been able to. My voice is quite shrill as compared to other guys and thus i have complex about myself but Aqours, µ's and lovelive taught me love every aspect about yourself. And yeah, i am starting to gain confidence within myself now...

My current personality is also due to love live. I thanks love live as it saved my life, my dreams and my aspirations...

Thank you µ's... Thank you Aqours... Thank you Love Live....

This was my Wonderful Stories with Love live... What about yours??

Thats it for my post....(Sorry for typos tho lol XD...)

This was part-3 and last part of my long post.

Thank you for sticking through it ... ♥

I want to tell you how I got into Love Live! But let me tell you: It isn't a special, romantic or beautiful story. It was kind of random. But let's start: I used to be on an app called Picsart. Around 2014 I was part of a small anime community there and one guy there told me about an interesting and fun game he is playing. He was like: 'It's a mobile game with cute singing anime girls. Damn I am addicted.. they are so cute and waifu material, etc. ' You know.. the way he talked about it, I thought he was talking about some kind of sexual loli game so I wasn't interested in it first. Later on there was a friend of mind who started talking about Love Live! School Idol Festival (I seriously didn't know she was talking about the same game like that guy, I realised that very late). I've got curious since it seemed like a lot of fun. I've downloaded the game and there was the 'Kotori Bird watching' event ongoing and I tried to get her. Spoiler: I didn't but well.. It was the day I got pulled into idol hell. I wanted to know more and more about the whole franchise so I started to dig deeper and deeper. I watched everything of Love Love! SIP in few days and listened to every song of μ's. I was deep into idol hell but after a while I' ve lost interest again. Somehow μ's songs weren't appealing to me anymore. Idk when exactly I came back into the fandom but I think it was when Aqours got added to LLSIF JP. I wasn't updated about who Aqours was so I seriously thought they will be new rivals of μ's. When I started watching Love Live Sunshine later on, I've entered idol hell again and since that I am still caught in it with no regrets and I don't want to leave ever again. I don't have a lot of spare time because of work, family, friends, my boyfriend, etc. but whenever I find some time I am gladly spending it with Love Live! My boyfriend used to call Love Live! 'useless thing' but since he realised how much it means to me, he supports me. He still calls it 'Firlefanz' (it is German and means that something is useless or a waste of time) but he just calls it like that to tease me and probably because he can't remember the name haha. So everytime I play SIF All Stars I tell him: I am playing the Firlefanz game right now. :) My Firlefanz means a lot to me. The music, 27 wonderful girls, two amazing rival groups, two amazing games, the anime, our wonderful fandom and much more to cherish to respect and protect. I don't regret 'wasting' some of my time in idol hell and I never will. Even tho some parts of the fandom are kinda toxic, I enjoy the good parts of it. That's it. I won't talk about my best girls because it would take way too long. Greetings from Germany

Hi. I'm Thomas. This is my story.

Mid 2016 was the start of my story. It all started with a YouTube channel you all may or may not have heard of. A channel that goes by the name of SilvaGunner, and if you know that name well, I'm sure you know where this is going.

Quite befitting for me, the first real exposure I had to Love Live were the memes. Or rather, THE meme of the SilvaGunner channel. Say it with me now...

Todokete!

I often look back on those days where I had no idea what that one word meant at all, and when I was blissfully unaware of the way that it would soon change my life. All the way from my merch collection to my mental health, Love Live really has changed my life, and I couldn't be more grateful.

Admittedly, I had my doubts when I started watching SIP. Started thinking to myself "What the hell am I watching?", but I couldn't stop regardless. I always found it hard to commit myself to watching shows all the way through, but Love Live managed to cast it's sneaky charms on me. Honestly, they still haven't worn off.

So I finished SIP, finally. My best girl at the time was none other than Maki Nishikino, and she's held her own against all the other girls I grew to love really well. However, at this point I wouldn't have considered myself obsessed with Love Live. I just found it really cute, and this was way before I started to realise how emotionally impactful the series could be, I was just a dumb teenager (and I will continue be just that until August of next year.)

I never had the tipping point that pushed me into an obsession rather than an interest. Not until 9 more girls entered my life and took my breath away.

Apologies to all the SIP fans, but I could never like it half as much as I absolutely ADORED Sunshine. It was the first show that K actually started to take in, as opposed to just watch. Over the years I've analyzed this show to hell and back and I haven't spent a moment being bored of it. It's my favourite show. No exaggerations.

Unfortunately not appearing in my top 3 anymore, my original best Aqours girl was Riko. As much as I've grown to like her more and more over the years, the rapidity of the growth other characters had on me was soon to overtake her. But, just like with Maki, she didn't go down without a fight.

Riko. You. Mari. Yoshiko. Chika. The five characters I happen to relate to the most. ESPECIALLY Chika. Whilst she is listed as my #2 girl on this website, that's only because I couldn't have two girls tied at #1. Yoshiko and Chika have outsold this series for me. And, to add on, I'm not a very shippy person, but I would give my life for YohaChika, just so y'know.

Love Live! Sunshine!! helped me out a lot at really rough time in my life. Depression was pushing me down more than ever but seeing parts of myself in these girls just gave me some hope. You's jealousy causing her own mind to bully itself into submission. Mari's need to keep people from worrying about her by putting on a smile. Riko's fear of having to give up something she loves. Yoshiko feeling like she needs to become someone other than herself to be liked. And Chika bottling up all her emotions just to make everyone happy. I've faced these problems for a while, but I'm coming to terms with how to deal with them. I thank Aqours for that.

Then came along the NijiGaku girls. I honestly don't have too big of an opinion on them just yet. I'm only gonna get All Stars when it releases worldwide. All I know is that Karin and Kanata are my best girls. I love them both very much.

I haven't kept up much on seiyuu stuff, BUT I REALLY WANT TO!!! I'm just...terrible at following stuff. If anyone has any recommendations for English subbed stuffsies for the seiyuus, (any group), please throw some links my way. I have a decently good grasp on Aqours but I'm almost TOTALLY clueless on anything for μ's or NijiGaku.

And ummmm, I think that's about it! I would post my SIF friend code but my tablet's been broken for a month so that's :)))))))

Stan YohaChika. Stan Aqours. Stan Love Live!

Peace.

I started Love Live back in about 2015 after seeing many memes and fanart of the series. I downloaded the game, started playing, and was absolutely terrible at it. After I got the hang of it I was addicted. I would play it 24/7, and from the beginning I knew my best girl was Nico. Originally I was attracted to her because of her cute looks, and I had seen memes about her before, but after getting to know her I fell more and more in love, and Nico helped me get through some pretty tough times in school. I always thought, well Nico never gives up, if she can do it I can do it too! It's cringey yeah I know haha but she means a lot to me. I still have my Nico merchandise and figure collection, which is still growing! I love it very much. When Aqours were announced, I was instantly drawn to Ruby, again, for her cute looks haha. And then the anime started, and I knew I was right to choose her as my best girl. I have figures of her as well now, and I love her very much. I'm still unsettled on a PDP best girl, but I'm fairly certain its Kanata haha. Anyways I am very thankful for Love Live and I don't know what I'd be like without it <3

hello! i'm toria. i've been into love live since about august 2017? i started playing the game about a year and a half ago!! when first watching the show i liked nico and yoshiko first but after watching the entirety of it i love rin and dia the most :) i also love ruby, kotori and mari. i also love karin and ai!! love live has been a big part of my life for a while and i'm so thankful sifas came out so i can love it even more!
