The Creative Team Behind the Idols
Under the seasoned direction of Tomoyuki Kawamura and brought to life by the renowned studio Sunrise, the film benefits from the creative vision of Hajime Yatate and Kurako Kiminosa, who crafted the original concepts. Jin Tanaka’s masterful screenplay weaves a compelling tale, while Takumi Yokota’s exquisite character designs ensure the idols shine brightly on screen.

The recently revealed trailer offers a tantalizing glimpse into the film’s dynamic visuals and electrifying musical performances. Notably, it features a mysterious, hero-like masked figure that has already sparked fervent discussion among the fanbase. The return of the original voice cast, including Moeka Koizumi as Shioriko and Shu Uchida as Mia, guarantees authentic and heartfelt portrayals.
While the first movie focused on the journey of Ayumu Uehara and other idols during the initial Idol Grand Prix, 'Chapter 2' shifts its spotlight to different club members. It notably hints at the intriguing appearance of Mia’s older sister, Chloe. This installment is designed not only to enrich the expansive Love Live! universe but also to deliver a poignant and spectacular conclusion to the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club's animated saga, promising a blend of emotional depth and dazzling idol spectacles that loyal fans have come to cherish and expect.
