#Introduction :
This, this is something that I'll never be able to experience again. I truly don't have the words to express what Love Live means to me because it really changed many aspects of my life and helped me improving into becoming a better person.
μ's will always be a sweet memory for me and the emotions I felt were unique and by far
>the greatest experiment I've ever seen, truly unique.
No more introductions, I have many reviews about Love Live where I show my love for this show and School IdolProject is for sure the greatest surprise in anime terms in my life; no more to say about SIP, let's just end this beautiful story.
#Sweet old girls, our beloved : This movie is a long lasting farewell of μ's, a really long one, where we are able to see sides of the girls we were never able to see, and the movie itself is lovely to watch as the story goes on and continues to tell us things we never knew about this lovely group. The New York arc is itself incredible if you watch it with Honoka's point of view : being in a place you never visited and you are just amazed of how it is, the people, the not sleeping city, the culture and the variety of everything you can find; starting from the typical american restaurant to a random japanese one where you can feel like at home even if you are not there. Indeed New York is completely different from Akibahara, but at the same time they are the same : it's always alive and every person is connected with you somehow, it could be a quick look, a quick 'hello' or things like that. The girls have even more time to spend with each other as they are invited to show the School Idols all over the world with the Great Final. But it's not a Final at all. We still have something to do. Back in Tokyo. What's the best way to spread the love you feel for something that you actually love? Let's assume that you love racing, the first thing you could think is going to a racing festival full of cars from every era and category right? Then now let's make the greatest stage ever and let's sing for a bright future where we can all love what we do and feel free to do it, because yoou shouldn't feel insecure or ashamed of what you do, you'll never know how it can end and when.
The farewell The farewell is just a song to let you believe in what you are doing, to make you love what you do and to encourage you in being what you want. > The little bird's wings are now strong
and so start flying towards your next goal and do something that I would like to call a miracle
#Next level arts : That's an easy spot for me because I just see the arts as the peak of School Idol Project and they are on a different new level.
#The final music : Let's stop here for a second. One of the main reason why I love this franchise is because the songs are not random at all as they tell you something, it can be a story and something else. In this movie we have many songs but I'll just take my 3 favourite to avoid spoilers.
Hello, Hoshi o Kazoete : sung by the first year trio (apart from being a banger) tells us the point of view of the girls in the unknown city, as it is mysterious but fantastic at the same time, they are attracted by this new reality and start feeling like at home.
Angelic Angel : in this song the group now knows the city and they like it, a lot, as they ask you where are they but right after they answer with saying they've been dreaming for something like that for a long time. And so they ask you to enjoy this moment with them and to live it at the best you can.
Bokutachi wa Hitotsu no Hikari : the Great Ending finally comes. Hand up, I cried every single time at this song. They are singing their story now, what they discovered, what they felt, how they became a single light in the darkness of the future where you don't know what can happen and NOW they are encouraging you to become what you always wanted and so you will be able to say "No no noo,This moment is the greatest!"
BokuHika is way more than a song, is a hymn to life and a bright future where you can achieve what you want. Never forget your friends, who you love, your memories and do not ever forget who you really are.
#Conclusions : Love Live School Idol Project was just, I don't know how to really say it, maybe the only thing that I'll never be able to experience again and forget. Believe in what you do, achieve what you dream for. Love who you love.
