Introducing FuwaFuwaTime!

Team ONIBE is partnering with FuwaFuwaTime to make an interactive online call guide!

With the Hakodate Unit Carnival viewings, 3rd Live, and AX coming up soon, we thought it would be a good idea to make learning calls easier and more accessible to everyone. 

Here’s a quick rundown of the features the site offers:

Real-time learning

Each song and its calls are individually timed, so you’ll see the line highlighted as you go, along with an audible “click” sound to help you properly place the call.

You can skip around in the playback bar to practice any part of the song that you’d like. Clicking any specific line will also take you to that part of the song.

Downloadable PDFs

We also use the site’s content to generate basic call guides that you can download and print out. Here’s a preview of SELF CONTROL!!:

Check the “Downloads” tab on the homepage for download links.

Future Updates

We still have so much more to add to the site! Right now, we have only a few classics and the Hakodate Unit Carnival setlist for Day 2, which should cover the basics for Delayed Viewings in the upcoming weeks. Check back often for updates before future concerts.

Check the site out here!

Aqours Call Guides at Anime Expo 2017!! ( *˙0˙*)ゞ

Hi everyone! It’s your friendly neighborhood shukamod :) I’ll be speaking on behalf of Team ONIBE today!

As some of you may know, we’ve been working on a call guide for Aqours’ first-ever overseas performance at AX2017. Today, we have some exciting news to tell you about those call guides! So without further delay, let’s get started! :D

Callbook Cover Illustration Reveal

First of all, we’re proud to finally reveal the cover design of the Aqours Fan Callbook for Anisong World Matsuri’s Japan Kawaii Live at Anime Expo 2017! Featuring absolutely stunning art of the nine members of Aqours by @haiyun (haiyun.moe), as well as Team ONIBE’s brand new logo! If you would like to own a larger version of the cover illustration to decorate your living space, it will also be available as a 11x17 print at haiyun’s booth in Artist Alley, table E53!

Thanks again for working with us, haiyun! :>

Call Guide Features

Our call guide includes a brief introduction to the Love Live! franchise and the members of Aqours, as well as a guide to idol concert wota and calls for a handful of Aqours’ most iconic songs, complete with full Romaji lyrics! Please direct kind messages towards Eter for doing all the heavy graphic design work on this book. I saw him put blood, sweat, and tears into this call guide with my own eyes and I think he did a amazing job 👀

A digital version of this call guide will soon be available on our website!

Last Call for Donations!

The more we receive in donations, the more callbooks we’ll be able to print for everyone to use at Anisong World Matsuri! Remember, only those who have donated at least $5 are guaranteed a copy of the call guide. There is also a high chance that I’m going to be the one giving you your callbook if you reserve one. Not… that anyone cares ( ‾▿‾ ) The rest of the callbooks are first-come, first-serve, while supplies last! If you would like to donate, please use PayPal to donate to [email protected] and select the friends/family gift option to avoid paying extra fees. Alternatively, you can send donations using either this link or this link!

Callbook Distribution at Anime Expo

We plan on distributing callbooks on Anime Expo Day 0 (June 30, 2017) sometime before the Anisong World Matsuri concert. The exact time and location are still TBD, but I’ll definitely post an update here as soon as we figure out what we’re going to do! IMPORTANT: We will be identifying donators by PayPal email. If you donated $5 to reserve a callbook (first of all, thank you for the support! :D), please have your email ready to receive your callbook!

Print Giveaway ( *˙0˙*)

Finally, as an exciting bonus, we will be putting special coupons inside the covers of 9 lucky callbooks! You will be able to redeem these coupons for a free 11x17 print of the callbook cover illustration at Artist Alley table E53!

… okay, that’s all I had to say ( ‾▿‾ )ゞ

Thanks for reading! Looking forward to meeting some of you in two weeks :> — shukamod (:D)|￣|＿

Love Live! μ’s Final LoveLive! ~μ’sic Forever ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪~ English subs are finally complete!

Team ONIBE along with LoveEcho! and VCB-Studio present - Love Live! μ’s Final LoveLive! ~μ’sic Forever ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪~, finally English subbed! This took absolutely forever, and it’s completely because of my procrastination. If not for Lucia being super harsh on me, and the boys at Team ONIBE doing all the tough parts of the subbing process in such a short period of time, this would not have been done right on time. So thank you to everyone that worked so hard on this! I hope everyone can finally enjoy the live to its fullest, enjoy!

Thank you so much for translating Aqours content for us! It really helps those of us who can't speak the language well but love the girls and want to support them! So thanks for all of your hard work! ❤️ And I can't wait to see the 1st years tour, zura ~ 🤗

Thanks to you as well! :D It’s a bit sad because I’ve been really busy with schoolwork so I haven’t had time to TL much >< My next release will be School Idol Days Chapter 3 with team ONIBE, and then after that will hopefully be Teku Teku 1st years~

Do you plan to translate the third years tour from BD 6?

I’m planning to, but probably after the 1st years, which I’m hopefully going to start soon since my spring break starts in a week ><

Aqours 1st Live - Aida Rikako’s post-live thoughts

Aqours 1st LoveLive! Thank you very much for the past two days at ~Step! ZERO to ONE~!! It really, really was a marvelous time. I had fun from the bottom of my heart, and I’m not even exaggerating. It really was a great feeling that made me feel like I was truly alive. I cannot forget everyone’s faces that I saw while I was going around on the trolley. Everyone was shining!! In truth, when I first heard about the results of Sunshine’s audition, I was at Yokohama Arena with my mother. I can still remember when we were embracing each other even now. It has been 2 years since then. I would never have dreamed that we would be able to stand on this stage now. Love Live! Is something that a lot of people have given their love for, and I once again felt really blessed to be able to take part in it. I learned the real value of becoming a team and going up from 0. There were 9 of us on stage, but the stage that we created was because of the all the team members, as well as the fans.

This is all I can say! There was a lot of love enveloping us, and it really, really became a marvelous live!!!!!! However, I have something I must apologize to everyone for. I would like to apologize for the worries that I felt. After discussing with the rest of the team, I decided to perform on the piano. I never wanted to back down, so I requested to be given the chance to do it. And so, I really give my apologies to the rest of the team who believed in me until the end; I betrayed them. Also, having made the other members feel worry in that moment, as well as all the people who had paid money to watch a professional fail, all these emotions mixed together in my head and I panicked. Somehow, I was able to complete it on Day 1, so I calmed down and decided to play with more of a smile like Riko’s on Day 2. To be honest, I cannot remember that moment very well. But the members rushed over to me during the dance, and I also heard the voices of everyone there, so I was able to stop crying and bring back out the “Sakurauchi Riko” within Aida Rikako once again. Without that, my heart would’ve surely broken, and I would’ve regretted it for the rest of my life. Thank you very much for giving me another chance. And then the lyrics of Omoi yo Hitotsu ni Nare also resonated in my chest and supported me. I was once again able to realize how great the power of music was, and that it was able to give me so much courage.

It was really the greatest performance by everyone! “I was moved!” was what I heard from a lot of people, but a failure is a failure. I am no longer qualified to be a professional standing on stage. I really reflected on it. And after that I had to perform with a smile. Because I was no longer qualified to cry. But I was able to continue until the very end thanks to the warmth of all the fans. Thank you, thank you very much for supporting me. Also, I will never forget the members who rushed over so that I wouldn’t be alone, and held me and my hands in that unbelievable location, all the time from before the beginning until after the very end, as well as the fun after the live as they greeted me with smiles and laughed it off. Those 8 people who were there definitely felt the same way as everyone. I was glad that it was 9 people once again. Thank so so much for saving me. And also, I am very grateful to the piano teacher who seriously taught the amateur me who could not even read musical notes for 3 months. It was really difficult; my fingers did not move as I expected, but I was able to slowly get better and better at playing, and I was able to think, “Playing the piano is fun!” And that was definitely thanks to the people who told me so. I started the piano from this age, so I was worried about whether it was truly okay, but I was told many times that it was important to challenge that thought.

It’s getting quite long, but I wanted to tell everyone as soon as possible.

Now, the second season of the TV anime, as well as 2nd live tour and many others were announced! Aqours is advancing from here onto the next Step once again. In order to make all of you know more and more about Aqours, I will try even harder than my best that I have done until now as a member of Aqours!!! So please cheer me on as a member of Aqours and as Sakurauchi Riko from now on as well.

I will forever treasure everyone who supported me. Let’s go and see more marvelous sights together! The voice of Sakurauchi Riko 🌸 Aida Rikako

Holy shit.

*Everyone heading to an Aqours Live Viewing, please read!*

I wrote this for the North American community, but it applies to any country with a live viewing ( ‾▿‾ )ゞ

DO NOT TAKE PICTURES OR VIDEO OF THE CONCERT. 

Even if you don’t plan on uploading the stuff online, don’t do it. It’s a serious copyright infringement. Not only will you get kicked out of the venue if you get caught, but you also risk the chance of North America getting BLACKLISTED for future events.

Getting blacklisted means we can say goodbye to all future Love Live! concerts and movies here.

You would be doing the entire North American community a disservice. We worked hard to get our first live viewing LEGALLY, so please respect the seiyuu and staff. Don’t drop the ball on this.

If you see other people taking pictures or recording the concert, PLEASE STOP THEM AND MAKE SURE THEY DELETE EVERYTHING. Report them to staff if you have to. I don’t know about you, but I am not about to risk getting blacklisted.

I repeat. DO NOT TAKE PICTURES OR VIDEO OF THE CONCERT. I can’t emphasize this enough. Don’t do it.
