Liyuu-san has loved Love Live! from a long time ago. Because of that, we’re here to ask her about the challenges she faced and the path she took to seize her dreams. We’ve included a few important pictures too!
Liella! Cross Talk 02
The trio voicing Tang Keke, Heanna Sumire, and Onitsuka Natsumi sit down and converse with each other, engaging in lively conversation over their journey since the release event towards the 3rd Live Tour!
Liella! 2nd Gen Interviews - Emori Aya
Then, when I saw the visuals for the 2nd gen members, I was somehow drawn toward Natsumi-chan. I remember thinking, “She’s the only one suitable for me.”
She’s Emori Aya, the voice of Onitsuka Natsumi. She’s also the youngest in Liella!, but that doesn’t stop her from being a total boss when she’s supporting the other members or hyping them up. Now, let’s hear some words from her about her audition experience behind the scenes!
Aida-san can cook.
"From now on, I want to walk with Riko-chan together at my own pace."
The quick change that everyone’s looking forward to in 5th Live’s Brightest Melody is definitely...
I too believe that I can do it... so I want this power that is welling up within me to reach everyone ♪
SPARKLING: Bubbles popping and vanishing in a moment, like youth!
Saint Snow is both an important rival for Aqours and also their comrades. There's no way that Aqours would be able to grow to this point if they didn't exist. They were worthy rivals and we pushed and supported each other from the back. I daresay that even the cast members felt the same way too.
Brightest Melody. In the movie's storyline, it's the last song of Aqours as nine that represents their position, but somehow the lyrics also signify a new beginning. The first time I heard it, I felt goosebumps. And just like the title, it truly is Aqours' brightest song!
I was excited when looking for cosmetics in the department store!
We held it in various locations, so I was able to recognize once again that there are fans who support Aqours all over the country. Because of that, I feel that we must go and spread our feelings to everyone even more.
The scene immediately preceding Next SPARKLING!!, the last song. It is the scene where the six members stand in a circle and count off before they stand on stage.
Every scene in which she's interacting with Chika!
Grandma. They have great sweets and cake.
1) Bath powder 2) My favorite dressing gown 3) Moisturizing face masks

Thanks to Mega for editing.
Movie song spoilers under the cut.
Right before I stand on stage, my heart always beats from nervousness! Surely this is a sign of my love for everyone ♡
I remember my nervousness and excitement from my first live. With my initial resolution, I’ll do my best!
“I’m happy to have met Aqours” I hope everyone can feel that way too.
Thank You, FRIENDS!! is a song that etches all our bonds and feelings into our hearts, and expresses our thanks to everyone who has watched over us so far…
In the past, I’ve been to Tokyo Dome to see artists I liked. Looking at all those people I looked up to having lives in Tokyo Dome, I still can’t believe that we, Aqours, were also given a chance to perform there. On the day of the performance, I’m sure that I won’t know how to feel until I actually get on stage.
You can call it a lot of things, but for us, it’s our second home. Because we’ve gotten to know it so well, even though it’s only been a short period of 3.5 years, every time I return, I’ve always felt a warm feeling of “I’m back”.
For a magazine shoot, Anchan (Inami Anju), Suwawa (Suwa Nanaka) and I went diving, which has really stuck with me. In the first season of the anime, Riko-chan descended into the ocean together with Chika-chan and the others to hear the sound of the sea. It was scary at first, but I’m glad that I got to experience the same thing she did.
Riko-chan loves to write music, so I want to give her a song that I composed myself too! (Even though I’ve never composed a song myself, and I also can’t read sheet music either…)
I still can’t believe that it’s been 4 years since I first met Riko-chan and the rest of Aqours. To me, Riko-chan is someone who I will always look up to. She is cute, gentle, and supportive of everyone else, someone who I want to become and chase after. Before I had realized, I had met a lot of new people. All the people supporting us, the staff giving us a hand, and my fellow members of Aqours… I kept on acquiring more things that I held dear to me. Then, there was also the anime and all the songs, which I learned a lot from.
“This time will never repeat, so let’s enjoy this time to the fullest. (Yoshiko in S2E11) We all know that the end will someday come. But even so, tomorrow will still come. (Riko in S2E11)”
It’s something that sounds obvious, but it’s also easily forgotten. That was an important fact that I kept on learning over and over again. Knowing this, I believe that we won’t be able to lose to anyone else in radiance.
We first started from Mielparque Hall, then moved on to Yokohama Arena. Before we knew it, we arrived at Tokyo Dome. To everyone who ran together with us so far, thank you very much!
I hope you will continue to watch over us closely from now on.
I’ll work hard so that “today” will become an unforgettable day in everyone’s life ♡
The voice of Sakurauchi Riko, Aida Rikako
Sorry, late.
Finally… this day has come. We had a distant dream. We hoped to fulfill it someday. Maybe that was a little of an oversimplification. We thought there was no way we could chase after that. Something further than the most distant of dreams. The location we aimed for. I had never seen it outside of μ's MVs. A concert at the dome…
The moment I started stepping forward, the shudders started. My feet trembled. It was my first such experience. I was so surprised that I grabbed on to Riko-chan beside me without thinking. Her shoulders shook, and she slowly turned around. I could see her face slowly paling from nervousness. When I saw that… Somehow… the depths of my heart suddenly warmed up. Hehehe ♡ I felt energized. Gyuuu. I squeezed Riko-chan’s hand tightly. We both smiled. Seeing this, everyone else also started smiling ♡ Yes, this was Aqours’ smiles.
Because of these smiles, we were able to get to this point. Ever since the day we first resolved to become school idols. They were small, but step by step, we continued facing forward… And now we’re finally here! This isn’t a dream, it’s reality!
At this point, we have no choice but to enjoy ourselves with our all. We’re going to do everything that we can do right now!! Ehehe ♡ Let’s look to Aqours’ future together. I hope you get to see us at this place that we’ve always yearned for ♡ Let’s make this the world’s greatest stage together!
Sorry for being late (4L D1 was earlier, oops). Also, apologies for not having an actual scan.
Great work on the midsummer tour. “I was born in the summer, but I really can’t stand it. I want to just shut myself at home, cool off in front of the A/C, watch movies and take afternoon naps. But because I had stuff to do as Aqours, I couldn’t do any of that (laughs), and with how busy I was, before I knew it, I began to think, “Summer is never gonna end, is it” (laughs).
Is there anything that you feel can help you weather the summer heat? “I have a lot of watermelon at home, and I eat them right after I take a bath, so when I buy watermelon for my workplace, I feel like I can make it through too.”
By the way, do you add salt to your watermelon? “No, I don’t really understand the people who like doing that… They say it adds to the sweetness, but isn’t watermelon normally already sweet? If you want to make it sweeter, I think it would be better to add sugar instead (laughs).
Moving on, as of July, it’s been two years since the first season of Love Live! Sunshine!! aired on TV. “It really passed by in a flash. There’s been a lot of happy things, but there’s been a lot of frustrating things as well. We had taken over the name of Love Live! from our great predecessors Muse, so there were a lot of preparations for us since the beginning, which we heard a lot of voices about. However, the 9 of us were able to share in all our frustrations, and it really felt like we would be able to overcome whatever struggles we had. It would’ve been way worse if we were alone.”
In November, you will be performing in Tokyo Dome. What do you feel about that? “We were given the opportunity to perform on the large stage at Yokohama Arena for 1L (2017), but it didn't feel like something we could just be glad about, since it didn't feel like something we gained through our own hard work. That's why, despite our fear and uncertainty, the pressure to fulfill our task of putting on a good show kept on pressing down on us. But now, for the live at Tokyo Dome, our outlook on it has become much more positive, like "Let's do it!"”
And so because of all your hard work, you’re confident that you have finally reached Tokyo Dome? “That’s right. We don’t know if our current level is worthy for Tokyo Dome, but what we do know for certain is that we’ve tried our hardest until now, and that is why we’re confident. Of course, we’re nervous beyond the point of nervousness, but we’ve stood on so many stages up until now, so no matter what other stage is there for us, we’re going to take all the irreplaceable experiences that we’ve had so far, and we’ll definitely be able to do our best.”
Where do you think Aqours’ charm point lies, Aida-san? “We’ve had the chance to do a lot of things, such as gravure, but I still think that the best part of Aqours is our music. It’s an important factor that attracts both people who’ve watched the anime and those that don’t even know about it. If you’re reading this B.L.T. magazine and you have even the slightest interest in us, please check out our music. If you like what you hear, then do check out the TV anime, then after that, I hope that you’ll want to come to one of our lives as well. Please come to our live at Tokyo Dome!”

It’s only been a short time since the Aqours 3rd LoveLive! Tour ~WONDERFUL STORIES~ ended. The tour has ended, and I have so much gratitude to everyone. It’s been so hot every day too~~ ☀️😳 Is everyone doing well? I had so many thoughts that I wanted to just hurry up and put them all into words, but I had already expressed everything that I wanted to during the live tour, so I have no idea how to put my closing thoughts into writing (laughs).
I kept on thinking about it, and before I knew it, today had already arrived! I said that to myself while writing a bit regarding my feelings for this tour. (laughs)
This always happens, so I tasked myself with writing whenever I’m in this position of looking forward to an upcoming stage. And so, this time, I will highlight my weak points, then overcome them without running away.
I don’t have very much stamina, and I’m not very good at singing… and even worse, I felt a lot of pressure this time due to my solo song debut… I was horribly stressed during rehearsals.
The fear of failure that I had regarding my solo performance was further amplified because everyone had been supporting me all his time. I really am more of a coward than what you guys think… (´-ω-｀) Because of that, when I saw all the other members trying their hardest with their chests puffed out, I thought to myself, “I have to do my best too!” I was really encouraged by that, and I also ended up thinking that everyone looked really grand and cool too (laughs). “Pianoforte Monologue” is a wonderful song that really shows off Riko-chan’s kindness, as well as the strength that’s packed deep within the depths of her heart. It’s an important song that I wanted to perform with a smile together with Riko-chan. I wanted to let everyone meet Riko-chan.
I will never forget the sight that I saw with Riko-chan on that day.
I am extremely grateful for the beautiful Sakura-colored arena that everyone showed me. Because of everyone’s presence and support, I was able to convey my feelings until the very end.
I didn’t realize it until the actual performance, but seeing the spotlights with the colors of the other 8 members that were shining onto the stage made me tear up… I really felt the love from the staff. Together with the stage staff and my dance teacher, we trial and errored so much for this. I’m really grateful that they helped me with it all the way to the end.
I felt rather downcast when I realized that I probably won’t have a chance to sing this song again… but even so, it will continue to remain in my heart from now on 😊🌸 I hope that everyone won’t forget about it either.
Next up, let’s talk about the second song, Kimi no Hitomi o Meguru Bouken. I was so, so, so nervous! It’s another really cool song that I love very much. Everyone says that I’m the center of the song, but I have never felt like that was the case. It’s a song by all 9 members of Aqours, and all 9 of us are involved in the performance, so if everyone else wasn’t there I wouldn’t be able to perform it. But even so, I was overjoyed that I got to perform as Riko-chan in the center of such a cool song! This tour really came with lots of challenges from the start to the end. It feels a little lonely now that it’s all ended, but now’s the time to face my feelings forward!
There were a lot of challenging things too… I know everyone has their own happenings, but to those who came to see us, thank you very much! It was all because of everyone that I could do my best until the very end! I used to be someone who lived through attending lives and showing my support, but now I really feel like standing on stage is what I’m living for.
I will continue to stand on stage from now on, no matter what kind.
I still haven’t gotten over the fact that we’re performing at Tokyo Dome next.
Even so, no matter what wall there is, let’s all overcome it together! I’m really looking forward to it! Let’s all have a great time together 😊😊

The titular song “Genki Zenkai DAY! DAY! DAY!” is a song that gives off an overflowing feeling of a sprint that is packed with the excitement of the days to come. The lyrics incorporate words that evoke the act of hailing each other; a fun liveliness that fits the trio. The coupling song “Yozora wa Nandemo Shitteru no?” is a song that carries a gentle atmosphere. The gentle sound of the singing of someone who had just fought with a friend but is now thinking about them at night strikes your heart. In addition to the two off vocals that accompany the first round of the singles, there is also a drama with Chika, You and Ruby.
Shuka: “Quite a lively song has finally arrived, huh,” I thought (laughs). But I think that this is exactly CYaRon!’s nature. The background vocals in the middle of the song such as “Ohayousoro!” were recorded after. We said to each other, “Wouldn’t this song be more fun if we added these lines?”
Furihata: The song and the background lines are really great! “Pigii!” is a line from Ruby that stuck after Episode 1 of the TV anime, and I remember recording it at the dubbing.
Inami: This song is quite high for me, but I think that it’s also a feature of this song. I was the first to record for this song, and the advice I received to be even more energetic and noisy really left an impression on me.
Furihata: Compared to Genki Zenkai, this song’s atmosphere is something unexpected, so at first I was also confused, but this song also shows off the differences of the trio. CYaRon! is a group of girls who really care for each other, so I thought that this kind of friendship fits them. I took part in the recording with the desire to show off a different Ruby than in Genki Zenkai.
Shuka: The gap is really wide, so I too was surprised at first. I thought really hard about how this chitty-chatty unit should sing such a peaceful song.
Inami: I felt like every time I reread the lyrics, I would be filled with even more passion. It’s like it’s wrapped in kindness, and I think that it’s because it’s this trio that this kind of atmosphere was able to happen.
The title song of the second round singles, released around a year after the first round single, “Kinmirai Happy End”, has a really catchy and cheerful melody. It’s a song about supporting the unrequited feelings of another party, while singing about yearning after the feelings of love. The coupling song “Kaigandoori de Matteru yo” has a medium tempo, but it contrasts that with the painfulness of of fighting with another party in the lyrics. The drama part is the usual lively trio having fun.
Inami: The lyrics of the song show off a love that causes butterflies in your stomach. I also like the upbeat tempo.
Furihata: I feel like CYaRon!’s love song feels much more infused with “youth” than those of the other units.
Shuka: Because I’m singing about the love of teenagers, I can sympathize with high schoolers and middle schoolers! When I first heard the prototype song, the thrilling and heart-thumping lyrics made me grin broadly (laughs). But as I heard the song, I gained the confidence that “I can do this CYaRon! love!” and “I understand love!”.
Inami: It’s the three who are least likely to understand (laughs). Also, I was surprised by the illustration on the cover of this single. Even though the title song is related to love, the costumes are pirate themed (laughs). But it fits the melody, so I think that singing this live while wearing the outfit really made me pumped.
Inami: It’s a song that’s easy to get into. First, I really like the intro. Then when I heard the final song, I thought that this really showed off each member’s personality very prominently. It was really fun how it seemed like it was Chika-chan talking over You-chan, then Ruby-chan talking over Chika-chan, which feels very CYaRon!.
Shuka: It’s a fun song that feels like the three of them are just talking!
Furihata: When we sing this in a live, it really feels like the three of us are talking. The lyrics are also easy to remember, which is good (laughs).
The special bonus song “P.S. no Mukougawa” is a girl’s song about her sending a message in a letter to someone she loves who has been greatly distanced from her while keeping them in her thoughts. It has an upbeat tempo and gives off a cheerful image, but the lyrics are lonely, bringing light to their grief using a subdued voice, making this a song that shows off CYaRon!’s true nature. Especially at the last chorus after the bridge, where the loneliness that grips at your heart and the anticipation for “I’ll meet you someday”, which makes a really complicated feeling together.
Furihata: It has a sort-of retro image, something like Showa pop. Like the “Dare mo inai kafe no teeburu”, and all the phrases regarding postcards in the lyrics. But it’s really impressively feminine. It shows off the gentleness of the CYaRon! members in a different way compared to Yozora.
Inami: There is only one song on the bonus CD, so I was imagining a song closer in feel to Genki Zenkai, which made me even more surprised when I found out that it was yet another song with a different image. But I realized that this kind of CYaRon! also exists. It’s like I can feel the potential of this unit.
Shuka: Ever since the very first recording of this song, I have been thinking a lot while doing the recordings. It was no surprise that it was because at the first recording we were deciding on the atmosphere of the song… I was wondering what the other two were thinking about regarding this song, because I was hoping that I could also have the same direction as them. I thought about You-chan’s feelings, and then Chika-chan and Ruby-chan’s faces also came to mind. But it was the same as the other songs. So during CYaRon!’s recording, I just thought about the other two while recording, which was the same as usual.
@anju_inami 2018.02.06
Good evening. January flew past and ended. That was fast.
I've lived within many works, experienced the lives of many roles, and was surprised by their worlds.
And as that happened, I myself encountered a lot of people, and got to know them all.
That was when I was 18. And 19. And 20. And 21.
I wonder excitedly about what's coming up next after this. Even though I'm scared, I'm still going to step forward. Those are my feelings right now.
The words and smiles of everyone around me have been motivating me. That's why I'm happy beyond measure.
Thanks to that, I've been able to transform anew into someone upbeat and positive.
I hope that I can convey my serious thanks properly even more!
From tomorrow onwards, I'll aim to become even more positive, And spend my days working hard towards that. (laughs)
So please watch over me kindly.

There’s a bunch of translations floating around Tumblr already, but I think there’s an extra significance in Anchan’s 22nd birthday message that I have to highlight.
If you look at Anchan’s past interviews, such as V-Storage September 2016 or 1st Live Pamphlet, one thing you’ll notice is that she constantly talks about how she used to be pessimistic/negative and lacking self-confidence. For her to finally admit that she’s transformed into someone positive and upbeat is a huge step for her, and I think that it’s something that we can all be happy for her as well! Anchan, great job on moving past your former negativity into the upbeat and positive leader we all know and love right now. Happy 22nd birthday, and best of luck in the future!
