With the arrival of a new academic year at Yuigaoka Girls' High School, the school idol club Liella! looks forward to welcoming additional members. Yet their exceptional skill set has made them wildly popular, leaving incoming students hesitant to approach the club for fear of the demanding training that awaits. During her concerns, club president and co‑founder Kanon Shibuya encounters first‑year student Kinako Sakurakouji and shares the world of school idols with her. Kinako is left in admiration, yet she thinks her ordinary abilities cannot match the vibrant performances of Liella!'s stellar members. Still, she receives encouragement to join the ensemble and rekindles their shared ambition of soaring toward the stars in the forthcoming Love Live! contest. Together, they pledge to practice tirelessly, aiming to shine brightly on the grand stage and make their dreams a reality today.
