FORGOT IT! DON'T BOTHER!! WHY!!? WHAT DOES SHE WANT??!! LMAO
Those Rina x Mia moments <3
Mia's new solo song, stars we chase, was a banger. TBH, all of Mia's solo, I'm Still..., Toy Doll, and stars we chase are very nice. btw, stars we chase seems to be the second all-English song after Toy Doll,

Welcome to the club, sweetheart! I'm so glad Lanzhu decided to join. :)

Mia's song was really nice. And what about the visuals? They were simply amazing!

I loved the conversation between Rina and Mia. <3

Rina playing with that white kitty was adorable. :3

Niji Saturday off to an amazing start. What an episode!

“What does she want! Why bother!” Mia’s English had me dying lmao.

Let’s also take a moment to reflect on how much Rina has grown. From hiding her emotions in a literal box to helping Mia keep going today, with no mask, so proud of her!

Mia’s performance was amazing. Probably recency bias but I feel like it’s the best we’ve had this season. Would have to go back and watch them all again to give a more objective take.

Great episode as usual, Nijigaku S2 has been amazing.

Nijigasaki keeps on being the best Love Live. All the R3BIRTH's new solos were bangers. Next episode is gonna be awesome.

Mia's arc was brilliant, glad she and the rest managed to get through to Lanzhu, who thought she couldn't go any further

Mia and Rina moments are sweet, I hope we can see more of them

Finally all 13 of them are part of the club~!

Karin's and Mia's morning wake ups aren't as gentle now that Lanzhu's residing in the dorms fufu (and cute Karin bedhead waa)

Can't wait for the next episode, Kasumin sure will make sure they all have a blast, and hopefully we get to see R3BIRTH perform as a unit

Might become a big Mia Taylor fan. I only want to see more Mia Taylor. I only have Mia Taylor inside my mind. Instead of studying Mia Taylor series expansion, I do this.

Actually, Toy Doll was the first song sung entirely in English.

Mia's English, lol. Speaking of her, her performance in this episode was awesome! Rin has definitely grown as a character. She was helping Mia out a lot.

Does this mean Lanzhu, Mia and Shioriko are going to form a unit!?

Golly, Lanzhu. Look at how many people care about you!!~

Knocked out two birds with one stone this time by bringing in Lanzhu and Mia to the club, Lanzhu was definitely a tough one but she finally joined along with Mia due to her original passion for singing, her performance was awesome too, I didn’t expect a song fully in English but it fits Mia well, and I could be wrong but it looks like the performance was inspired by American pop music videos, it would make sense if so, it was killer tho, she brought the house down lol.

And I still don’t fully get Lanzhu’s situation but I’m glad she was convinced to join since we all knew it would happen eventually lol, she’ll definitely learn she can do a lot more within the club than just being a solo idol. Looking forward to Mia’s contributions too.

Also rip Karin at the end, leave my girl alone Lanzhu! Lol.

Good development for Mia and Lanzhu, good thing that Mia's composition could convince Lanzhu and make her stay/enter the school idol club with Mia.
Sure that she has true friends now :)

0/10, they didn't let Mia say "shit".

All jokes aside, another strong episode. I'd stopped reading the SIFAS story before Mia really became prominent in it (i.e. just after her and Lanzhu were introduced), so I wasn't really sure what her arc was going to be. I suppose it being about the expectations of her family putting too much pressure on her made sense, and I think I better understand how she and Rina became friends as Rina's own issues leave her well-placed to empathise with Mia.

But forget all that. The real highlight of this episode was Mia's fantastic all-English song and Lanzhu finally joining the club; much like Eutopia at the start of the season, I'll be listening to that one a lot over the coming days.

So, with four episodes left, one question remains: now what? They kind of formed R3BIRTH here already (they didn't explicitly say it, but that's basically what this episode boiled down to), so I'm not really sure how they're gonna fill out four more episodes.

My god, Lanzhu is such a drama queen. I mean, it's perfectly fitting for the LL universe but man is she a troublesome girl. Anyways, thank heavens she finally joined the damn club lol. F for Karin tho.

As for Mia, I never cared about her and I cringed every time she spoke in English out of nowhere but I'm satisfied with her character exploration and her debut song was actually pretty nice. Not to mention she's also kinda cute when she doesn't go around acting as if she was superior to others.

But now let's talk about Rina. I love this emotionless child so much. The fact that she reached out to Mia just like Ai did to her when she was lonely truly warmed my heart.

Funny how Kanon's whole arc which took like 9 episodes got solved in only an episode in Nijigasaki. Absolutely don't like Mia but her song and voice is really good.

Must protecc Lanzhu at all costs.

Kanon's issues were completely different from Mia's though. Kanon is suffering from stage fright, like a normal anxiety issue, whereas Mia suffers from insane amounts of pressure to live up to her family name. Fundamentally different. Mia's issue is much easier to solve because you 'just' need to cause a change in self-evaluating. Kanon's is much more psychologically challenging.

This episode, i'm feeling that this episode feels rather plain...maybe because episode 8 was such a huge episode. Mia's song is pretty nice. Finally, the club is 12+1 members now.

Can't remember if i already wrote it before, but now i'm sure that this season 2 OP is a great song and outperformed the first one, and the powerful switch to the chorus is the best part of it


i was angry at Mia yelling at Rina, but at least she apologized immediately. In fact, i feel sorry for her being only my 4th best Nijigasaki favorite character, but it's not for some flaws of her or anything, but because of how much i'm fond of Ayumu, Emma and Kasumi even more. Didn't have a too strong opinion on Mia's song and it seemed off to have her cut randomly into english speaking before. The ending was predictable, but next episode seems more interesting.

The unit name explained, Mia got some development finally, Lanzhu meanwhile runs into similar stuff as me. She also has merch of her own now. All around beautiful.
I now don't mind them being part of the group anymore.
The app just really f'd that up and I'm willing to put that behind me now, call it a rebirth if you may. Heh.

Wow, Mia's song was so preciously awe striking. Her voice is so clear - that may be the first time I could understand Engrish without having to look at the subtitles. It's nice to be able to hear & immediately understand the lyrics while fully immersing myself into the spectacular visuals.

Phenomenal ep! One of my favorite episodes in the entire LL series now, pacing and writing was very good. Lanzhu’s character was so relatable and her voice acting so vulnerable that I cried lol.
