Snow halation Single by μ’s Center Honoka Kosaka Released December 22, 2010 Format CD/DVD Recorded 2010 Label Lantis

“ Everyone's beloved song! It also became an important song of Season 2 of the anime. ”

Snow halation is μ’s second single as well as the ending theme for Love Live! School idol project Season 2 Episode 9. It was released on December 22, 2010 on both CD and DVD in order to celebrate the upcoming Christmas Day. It is also included in all of μ's solo albums and μ's Best Album Best Live! Collection.

The song is written by Hata Aki, composed by Yamada Takahiro, and arranged by Nakanishi Ryousuke.

As one of the first few singles, its song centers were decided by voting. Honoka Kosaka came in first in the poll, followed by Umi Sonoda and then Nozomi Tojo. The three of them form a triangle within the choreography, which is why Nozomi takes the center-back position and can be mistaken as the song center.

It is arguably the most famous song within the Love Live! discography, and the only one within the fandom to have a consensus on the cyalume colors to be used at concerts during the song: White for most of its duration, until the start of the final chorus whereupon everyone switches to orange, an effect meant to mimic the visuals in the original PV video. This trend had its roots ever since the very first live concert in 2012, but was not in full effect until the second in 2013. From that point onward it's been faithfully followed at concerts, live-screenings and conventions of all sorts. A more detailed explanation of this trend can be found here.

Lyrics

Fushigi da ne ima no kimochi

Sora kara futte kita mitai

Tokubetsu na kisetsu no iro ga tokimeki o miseru yo



Hajimete deatta toki kara

Yokan ni sawagu kokoro no Melody

Tomerarenai tomaranai na・ze



Todokete

Setsunasa ni wa namae o tsukeyou ka "Snow halation"

Omoi ga kasanaru made matezu ni

Kuyashii kedo suki tte junjou

Binetsu no naka tameratte mo dame da ne

Tobikomu yuuki ni sansei mamonaku Start!!



Oto mo naku kehai mo naku

Shizuka ni unmei wa kawaru

Korekara no mirai ni mune no kodou ga hayaku naru



Tatoeba komatta toki ni wa

Sugu kaketsukete dakishimetakute

Doko ni ite mo dokodemo Fly high



Isoide

Itsu no ma ni ka ookiku nari sugita "True emotion"

Yume dake miteru you ja tsurai yo

Koibito wa kimi tte iitai

Yasashii me ga tomadotteru iya da yo

Kono mama ikki ni aijou azukete Please!!



Todokete

Setsunasa ni wa namae o tsukeyou ka "Snow halation"

Omoi ga kasanaru made matezu ni

Kuyashii kedo suki tte junjou

Binetsu no naka tameratte mo dame da ne

Tobikomu yuuki ni sansei mamonaku Start!! 不思議だね いまの気持ち

空から降ってきたみたい

特別な季節の色が ときめきを見せるよ



初めて出会った時から

予感に騒ぐ心の Melody

とめられないとまらない な・ぜ



届けて

切なさには名前をつけようか "Snow halation"

想いが重なるまで待てずに

悔しいけど好きって純情

微熱の中 ためらってもダメだね

飛び込む勇気に賛成 まもなく Start!!





音もなく 気配もなく

静かに運命は変わる

これからの未来に胸の 鼓動が早くなる



例えば困った時には

すぐ駆けつけて抱きしめたくて

どこにいてもどこでも Fly high



急いで

いつの間にか大きくなりすぎた "True emotion"

夢だけみてる様じゃつらいよ

恋人は君って言いたい

優しい目が とまどってるイヤだよ

このまま一気に愛情 あずけて Please!!





届けて

切なさには名前をつけようか "Snow halation"

想いが重なるまで待てずに

悔しいけど好きって純情

微熱の中 ためらってもダメだね

飛び込む勇気に賛成 まもなくStart!! This feeling, it's strange, isn't it?

It's almost as though it came fluttering down from the sky

The color of this special season fills me with excitement



From the moment we met,

The melody of my heart has been ringing with premonitions

It can’t be stopped, it won’t be stopped -- why?



Ring out

Shall I name this heart-rending pain "Snow halation"?

I can’t wait for our feelings to resonate; it’s frustrating, but it’s a pure-hearted devotion called love

Even in this mild fever, I can’t hesitate

I'll accept the courage to dive in; it's about to start!





Without a sound, nor a sign

Our fate changes silently

At the thought of the coming future, my heartbeat quickens



When you feel troubled

I’ll come running right away, wanting to hug you tightly,

Wherever you are, no matter where, I'll Fly high!



Hurry up

Before I knew it, my true emotions grew too large to contain

It's painful to never do more than dream of it

I want you to be mine!

I don't want to be bewildered by your gentle eyes

Accept all my love for you as it is, Please!





Ring out

Shall I name this heart-rending pain "Snow halation"?

I can’t wait for our feelings to resonate; It’s frustrating, but it’s a pure-hearted devotion called love

Even in this mild fever, I can’t hesitate

I'll accept the courage to dive in; it's about to start!
