Arigatou Project: MESSAGE FOR YOU!

Messages filled with six years’ share of love and gratitude from the Love Live! seiyuus to readers of Dengeki G’s Magazine, the very place where Love Live! began.





NItta Emi: Thank you for creating miracles together with us☆

Love Live! started in Dengeki G’s Magazine. At that time I didn’t know left from right, and just like everyone else I didn’t know how Love Live! would turn out. But I thought to myself, that if I put my heart into dancing, something amazing might happen, right? Up until today, it’s been a chain of really unbelievable events… They were all things that happened because of Love Live!, because of all the people who were supporting me. Thank you for always watching over the trajectory of us and μ’s, and for creating miracles together with us☆ Whenever you hit an obstacle, or whenever you’re feeling happy, I would like you to keep remembering us from here on out. No matter when, μ’s will always be by everyone’s side. Thank you for the greatest youth of my life!!





Nanjo Yoshino: “Thanks for the hard work!” “Congratulations on running through these six years!” And also, “Thank you”

Really, for the huge amounts of support, thank you very much! Though that’s part of it, the readers here are also people who granted our dreams together with us, so “Thanks for the hard work!”, or maybe “Congratulations on running through these six years!”; I’m lost on what to say. However, it’s certain that this project couldn’t have grown so huge if any one person’s support had been missing, so as an actress who’s been given so many different experiences and chances to mature: thank you very much. My comrades. From now on in our lives, let’s do our best at each and every one of our paths!



Pile: Thank you very much for the tons of support and tons of love

For us, between the time when we knew nothing about each other and now, a lot of time has passed. Thank you very much for the tons of support and love. From here onwards, Maki-chan, Pile, μ’s, and the other members. We’ll always continue on together, so we’ll be counting on you from here on, too. With all my heart full of gratitude and love.



Kusuda Aina: Seeing so many dreams come true together was all because everyone was there for us!

Ever since we first started, when the group now known as μ’s still didn’t have a name, all the people who supported us, and everyone who came to support us after finding out about us in all sorts of ways. Really, seeing so many dreams come true together was all because everyone was there for us! Just like the name suggests, Love Live! has become a product overflowing with Love! I believe that it’s precisely because each and everyone’s love was there, that’s why we managed to make all our dreams come true together up to this point! I would be happy if it becomes a special existence to everyone. No, I believe that it has already become that! A product filled with mutual affection is amazing, isn’t it!! Up until now, thank you very much for the huge amounts of love! I love everyone!



Kubo Yurika: Suddenly recalling the precious time we spent together puts a smile on your face–

My feelings for everyone are extremely similar to my feelings for Hanayo. When I asked myself why that is… I thought that it must be because everyone who has watched over me for so long, might feel as though they are something like a family to me. There were many things we couldn’t do alone, and that we could only realize with everyone together. That’s why, if I put my feelings into words, it’s still ends up as “Thank you” but… Just like this, I would be happy if suddenly recalling the precious time we spent together puts a smile on your face.



Tokui Sora: μ’s will still always be μ’s from here on! Please let us cheer for your dreams from here on, too!

Thank you all very much for supporting μ’s during these six years!!! Just like the tagline “A story realized together”, it’s all thanks to everyone that we really had a lot of our dreams granted. What was your dream six years ago? During these six years filled with lots of singing, I would be happy if μ’s managed to become a part of your strength. Though it’s the Final Live, μ’s will still always, always be μ’s from here on! Please let us cheer for your dreams from here on, too! Thank you all very much for these six years!



Iida Riho: Everyone watched over Love Live! this whole time.

In the beginning, Love Live! started here in this magazine, right? From a two-page spread. From a time when Love Live! had neither form nor substance, it was the readers of Dengeki G’s Magazine that watched over Love Live! this whole time. And the ones who made the entire project with us, that was everyone here, too♪ The voting for our subunits, as well as the name μ’s that everyone knows now, arose here. I’m really grateful that there’s this place where Love Live! could always be conveyed to people. Everyone who supported us through Dengeki G’s Magazine, thank you all very much♪



Mimori Suzuko: The path we walked here was always accompanied by everyone.

I remember that six years ago, when we made our first appearance in the magazine, I was so, so happy that I went to the bookstore myself to buy a copy. In the few years after we started, when there were no concerts or anything, it was through the magazine that we could feel all the encouragement from all the fans. Deciding on subunit names and center positions for our songs… I can deeply feel that the path we walked here was always accompanied by our fans. Thank you all very much for the tons of love♪



Uchida Aya: It was because of everyone’s support that we made it here.

To all the members of the Love Live! Club! ( ・８ ・)

There was a time when I yearned to be a part of Dengeki G’s reader-participation content. Starting from following “Sister Princess” written by Kimino Sakurako-sensei, and ending up being part of one myself made me really happy and excited at that time! (The first time I went to Animate, I bought an Aria-chan notebook! lol)

At the start the casting was secret, there wasn’t any notice that I would be acting as Kotori, so I felt very impatient. To think that with all the readers’ support, we’ve managed to make it this whole way from a time when μ’s didn’t even have its name. … For us girls who didn’t have a name, thank you very much for believing in our potential! I want to tell my past self: “The excitement you’re feeling is the real thing!"♡
