I was surprised that they went for an electronic rout. I thought my iTunes was playing all of a sudden when I clicked on the video lol.

The OST is out in the wild. Self Control is so so good.

Looooooooove that cover with Dia. Looooooove it.

Any Australians or New Zealanders out there, Animelab has the mini-live available to watch.

Humming Friend and Mattete Ai no Uta being performed just made me hyped for their first live.

blakstealth · 2016-12-29, 14:35

When do you guys think the Kanan single will get announced?

I was actually surprised to see Madman able to get the streaming rights to the mini-live. After giving it a brief watch, it did open my eyes to part of the appeal of this franchise.

On a related note, the mini-live is also available to watch worldwide via YouTube or your local anime streaming service. Of particular note, it looks like the mini-live will be available to stream for only a strictly limited time (until Jan 3 23:59 JST to be exact):

Two small details about that single were actually announced during the mini-live itself:

So close.....

I hope they announce pre orders within the next month so I can use up my cdjapan points.

It's the fact the seiyuus are lovable dorks a lot of the time. So many memes and jokes come out of their radio and streaming shows.

These 2 are getting good at their sexy poses.

2016 is almost over and so I'm watching µ's Final Love Live concert BD as it was one of the biggest anime events that have happened this year. T T

Jimmy C · 2017-01-03, 08:03

Watched the mini-live a while ago. It reminded me of something I've been curious about for some time.

They really can dance and sing live on stage these days? I remember it was a scandal back in the 90's when it was exposed that performers couldn't actually do both at the same time on stage.

Nork22 · 2017-01-20, 04:11

So, Madman has announced live streaming Aqour's first concert.

BD Volume 6 song Preview: "Thrilling One Way"

Thoughts on Thrilling One Way: Is this the hardest Rock song that the franchise has committed itself to yet in either generation of Love Live, Strawberry Trapper possibly excepting?

In Episode 12, Aqours committed themselves to differentiate themselves from Muse. With Thrilling One Way, I think we've got a clear answer just how Aqours means to do it. I wouldn't be surprised if Thrilling One Way will be one of the insert songs of the second season, one of the fruits of Aqours determination to walk their own path.

And that Chika scream at the beginning! I'd like to see Aqours try a full blown Metal piece with Chika screaming serving as the opening.

Personally, I think "After-School Navigators" is heavier than "Thrilling One Way" - while at first glance they both have that Judas Priest vibe to them, ASN seems to be more consistent with the vibe throughout the song. It's like, TOW hints at being influenced by Judas Priest, whereas ASN combines 80s Judas Priest (the instrumental "Hellion" to be precise) with 80s thrash and modern metal.

Then again, that's only a preview of TOW, so I wouldn't be surprised if they're saving the really heavy stuff for the full version.

That said, TOW is definitely heavier than "Strawberry Trapper", which has more of a bluesy Guns-N-Roses vibe.

--EDIT--

Oh, wait, Nozomi's "Loveless World" also carries out that 80s classic metal vibe quite well too.

Ah. Thanks, that was an interesting and informative response.

Not a problem at all. In fact, I was just listening to ASN again, and I'm also picking up vibes of 80s Metallica in the intro as well. The moment I stumbled upon the song in an event when I first started playing LLSIF was the moment I knew I was hooked.

The fact that the songwriters are willing to incorporate plenty of musical influences into the songs is one of the reasons why I love the Love Live franchise in general.
