It's not a bad idea. Although the choice of venues for the 2nd Live Tour is interesting to say the least. The seating capacities are:

名古屋日本ガイシホール約10000席
神戸ワールド記念ホール約8000席
埼玉西武プリンスドーム 33556席

The first 2 venues should be easy to fill up over 2 days, with just 10,000 and 8,000 capacity. The 1st live had around 74,000 total viewers (34,000 live + 40,000 live at the cinemas over 2 days). Nowhere near μ's who had around 200,000 total viewers (100,000 at Tokyo Dome + 100,000 live at the cinemas over 2 days). Well, for μ's Final Live, it was technically 250,000 total viewers if we include the repeat viewing the day after Day 2 at the cinemas.

Seibu Prince Dome should barely be able to be filled completely over 2 days, but then the live viewing at theaters might not be as big if the fanbase who are only loyal to μ's doesn't also give Aqours a chance.

REALLY? 74000 for a 1st live and it will still increase cause of delayed live viewings in Western countries.. Where did you get that source?

Dang.. I bet 3rd live will be at tokyo dome if this keeps up

The capacity of Yokohama Arena is 17,000. The live viewing number is an assumption based on Box Office aggregate website that tracks the number of tickets sold from around 66% of the market (http://mimorin2014.blog.fc2.com/). So (17,000 * 2) + (17000 + 11,000) * 1.5 = 76,000, which is why I said around 74,000. It's not so farfetched either because many fans failed to win the right to buy tickets to the concert anyway and had to watch it in the cinema instead.

For μ's, Bunkatsushin stated the 150,000 total for the live viewing and repeat viewing at cinemas in Japan here: http://www.bunkatsushin.com/news/article.aspx?id=115046, and of course it was reported that Tokyo Dome was filled to 50,000 on both days (it wasn't the full 55,000 because of the stage).

Well.. I really expected this from the start. BD sales are crazily high.. not as much as µ's but still crazy lol

Seibu Dome final venue for 2nd live... I wonder why aqours is changing the traditional LL marketing style of one place though

Ahhhh, so excited! Way earlier than I expected though

Exciting~ Thought it'll be in Winter 2018 but this is sooner

Well I hope we get a third season because a second season so soon wow. u's had a few years to build up its fan base so Aqours will need more time.

LL is super popular in Japan - the CDs/Blurays are selling really good - so it's actually not a surprise to see a 2nd season being announced.
I just hope it's gonna be better than the first season of "Sunshine".

I'd be excited if the characters or the story were original.

This announcement was just a mere formality, as everyone knew that it would occur during Day 2 of the 1st Aqours live.

Now, hopefully there is a substantial improvement in the 2nd Season, as clearly Aqours 1st Season wasn't as good as μ's 2nd Season. We also need a Best Album Best Live collection for Aqours...

Sunshine sucked so hopefully this season is better.
I enjoyed the original LL quite a bit but Sunshine just feels like rehashed milking.
Hopefully they make it feel more originally and try to get creative.
