30 Days of Love Live! Challenge
I decided to skip Nijigaku subunit songs since there's like... six of them total. I don't even have a QU4RTZ song that I like either so...
Anyway!
Day 8: Favorite PV(s)
This doesn't include the anime songs, such as Happy maker! or BokuHika, but instead the separately released singles like Borarara.
Bokura no LIVE, Kimi to no LIFE
The song that started it all. Let's just be glad that they decided to touch-up the characters' designs moving and didn't just stick with this, right? Poor character design aside, the PV is... still not the great. But even if that is the case, Borarara is a very important song to me. A reoccurring theme throughout this post will be "nostalgia", and Borarara hits hard with it (though maybe not like Mermaid festa vol.1).
Natsuiro Egao de 1, 2, Jump!
Skipping right over Snow halation we have another amazing (and nostalgic), song. And a Nico center no less! Having a different center for an animated PV was significant, as it really showcased how Love Live! did things a bit differently. Even if Honoka is the center of ~37 songs, having dynamic centers allows characters to all share the spotlight.
Wonderful Rush
A song for You! You? You!!
I didn't get into Love Live! until late 2016, after which µ's had already disbanded and stopped releasing singles. So for me to be able to experience a completely new album release really meant so, so, much to me. Luckily, this is was my reward, so to speak. I'm really glad that both A song for You!! and Natte Shimatta! are really good songs. I was really afraid of the coupling track not being good, so that was a relief. But the PV itself is great, too, chock full of fan service, cute shots, and meaningful and emotional callbacks to earlier PVs/parts of the series. Maybe after another four-ish years we'll be blessed another new µ's single...
Koi ni Naritai AQUARIUM
(I don't own the BD, and I couldn't find any high quality screenshots, so here's a crusty one)

Day 4: Favorite Solo(s)
I made a rule for myself that if my favorite of anything is related to best girl, then I'll make sure to list another option for some variety.
µ's: Yuuki no Reason, Watashitachi wa Mirai no Hana, and Yume naki Yume wa Yume Janai.
(Not that it matters, but I actually made this cover. Feel free to use it if you want!)
Even if Umi wasn't best girl, her solos would still more than likely be the best; they're really just that good (though it's a shame we never got a full-length Yuuki no Reason live performace...)! That aside, what about Yume Janai? Well, the song is a banger (a given). While I don't necessarily think that a solo has to reflect the character well, Yume Janai does pretty well, though maybe not as well as others.
Also.
Have you seen µ's 3rd Anniversary live?
Emitsun comes out riding an actual bike.
Like ok that's pretty dope.
It got nerfed for ENDLESS PARADE.
Another fun fact: DYK that Ai wa Taiyou Ja Nai? was never performed live? Wild.
Aqours: One More Sunshine Story.
Even before Chika was best girl, OMSS was the best Aqours single FREE, so I decided to make an exception to the rule; the runner-up would be RED GEM WINK. Anyways, I just really love this song. Chika's (and Anchan's), energy really gets across to the listener. And, while this is obviously her solo so it makes sense, but this song really captures Chika's character well. Like super well.
Nijigaku: Diamond, ☆Wonderland☆, and Nemureru Mori ni Ikitai na. Kasumi's solos are almost the entire reason why I started to even like the character, the same with Kanata. I really just love Kasumi's energy and enthusiasm with these songs, and just her whole character in general. On the other hand, Nemureru is just such a good, chill, calm song that I can't not like it. And, in comparison, not that many of the Nijigaku solos are much higher than average imo.
